"You are the sunshine of my life.
That's why I'll always be around"
The brunette detective hummed softly, coiling into her steaming bubble bath. Stevie always gets the job done when it comes to relaxation. She giggled softly, lifting her toes out of the water, watching the bubbles trickle down her leg. The day didn't matter. None of the dark subject matter she subjected to herself mattered. All that mattered was this hot, steamy bath, while the soft R&B streamed out of her speakers. Suddenly, the floor creaked, as she feigned annoyance, knowing what that sound meant.
Out of those matters she listed? She forgot one: him.
"El… Don't come in here disrupting my bath. I will splash you."
"I'll splash you first."
"Is that a threat?"
The blue eyed, brawn of a man smiled slyly. Twelve years, and it still drove her wild. He knew it too, and took pleasure in making her feel like the school girl she'd always be for him. He sat on the edge of the marble tub, watching her intently as his finger twirled the water. Olivia sighed softly, splashing him as he laughed – flinching as if she had just shot him. "Now that hurt, Liv. I can't test your water out? I mean.. I'd join if you'd like me to." She laughed fully, running her hands through her strands, sticking her tongue out while rolling her eyes all the while.
"Get out, Elliot."
"You're beautiful."
"Not going to work, out. Now."
"God, you're beautiful."
Throughout their playful banter, one thing she knew of Elliot: He was brutally honest. She blushed softly, never getting used to her being the "soft" part of him. His hand reached in the water, grabbing hers. He left soft kisses as his hand felt around for her body sponge. She smiled affectionately, leaning her back towards him as he rung the water softly down it. The soft "God.." he left out made her consider making 20 other Noah's, and never going without hearing it again in her natural life, or after life. Her shyness overtook her, where she could only muster a "Washing me up, hm?" as he silently worked, kissing her neck and other body parts – not noticing his shirt was soaking in the process.
Elliot lifted his head, letting his lips find hers, gripping the back of her head as he deepened the kiss. His nearly neon blue eyes studied hers, as that sly smile found their way against his lips again.
"So.. about letting me join you.."
