Olivia looked over at Elliot with surprise in her eyes. She had to process
what was just said to her. "Elliot, I don't know what to say," she said
honestly as she leaned back against her couch.
"You don't have to say anything," said Elliot jumping up off the couch as if he had been struck by something, "I know the timing of all this it sucks; you're being stalked by some drug lord, I'm just getting a divorce."
Tears began to form in Olivia's eyes and she stood up and walked over toward Elliot.
He continued, "I love my job Olivia, I love that I get to see justice for people that no one cares about," by now he'd moved close to her and had placed his hands on her arms. "But most of all, I love doing my job because you are there every day to support me. That's why I could never leave SVU."
By now the tears that were forming in her eyes had began to fall down her cheeks, she'd never seen such passion from Elliot. Slowly, she fell into his arms, and he rested his chin on her head. "You never did have the best timing Stabler," she said looking up at him.
Slowly, as if waiting for clearance, he leaned his lips in toward hers. Seeing that she was inviting them in, he slowly kissed her, and then she kissed him back.
Years of pent up love, respect and lust were all put into that one kiss, and the two of them knew it. Elliot slid his hands up to her neck and caressed the back of her head. Olivia leaned further into his body and wrapped her arms tight around his back.
Just then they both heard a noise at the door, and pulled apart.
"It's him," said Olivia trembling.
Elliot looked at the door and heard someone fumbling with her locks. "shhh.." he said positioning himself between Olivia and the door.
"Elliot," she said stepping in front of him, "I have an idea."
Quickly she grabbed him and the two went into her bed room.
**************************************************************
By now the door was almost open and Olivia was lying in her bed. Elliot was positioned behind her door, where she could see him, but someone entering couldn't.
Slowly her bedroom door opened and Juan Robertson walked through pointing a gun ahead of him. Snickering to himself he thought, Jeff hurts me, I hurt him. He walked over to Olivia's bed and crouched by her.
Elliot resisted the urge to shoot the man right there. He had no right to be anywhere near Olivia.
Olivia rolled over, as if just waking up, and faced the barrel of a gun. "What are you doing here??" she asked sitting up and looking at Juan.
"I've come to seek revenge Detective Benson," he said pointing the gun at her head, "something I've become quite good at."
"So you did rape and kill your wife," said Olivia, sweat dripping down her forehead as this mad man had a gun to it.
"No, I had one of my so called thugs do it, I hardly ever do any of my own dirty work."
"So why me?" then she asked inadvertently looking over at where Elliot was hiding in the shadows.
Juan followed her eye line and saw Elliot standing there, "A visitor," he said and pointed his gun at Elliot.
Before Olivia could stop him a shot was fired.
"No!" screamed Olivia grabbing the gun that was under her pillow and shooting Juan twice.
Juan Robertson fell to the ground in a pool of blood. Olivia looked over and saw Elliot slide down her wall.
"Elliot!" she cried jumping out of her bed and running to him.
"Liv," he said grabbing at this arm, "good thing he has his thugs do his dirty work, cause he's a crappy shot."
Olivia sighed as she saw the bullet had entered Elliot's arm. Still with worry, she called dispatch and had them send an ambulance over.
"Oh Elliot, I'm so sorry, I should have reacted quicker," she cried putting pressure on his arm.
Elliot smiled up at her, wincing with the pain; "Liv, you did perfect, you're perfect."
Olivia reached down and kissed his forehead, "I think I love you right now Elliot Stabler," she said kissing his lips.
Just then they could hear paramedics rush through her front door. "And you said my timing sucked," said Elliot grabbing Olivia's hand.
"We have all the time in the world now Elliot," she said smiling at him.
The paramedics came to the room and helped Elliot up. "Wait," he said as they were about to take him away.
He walked over to Olivia and leaned down and whispered in her ear: "I love you too."
"You don't have to say anything," said Elliot jumping up off the couch as if he had been struck by something, "I know the timing of all this it sucks; you're being stalked by some drug lord, I'm just getting a divorce."
