Chapter 8
*Previously: "You KNOW its against the rules to date someone in the same department. Cragen could report this and one or both of us will lose our job." Cragen came out, just catching the last sentence. "You're getting married?" "I know its against the rules, but please don't." Olivia started. "I wont for now. But, which one of you is going to quit?" "Captain, we're partners. If one of us quits then someone of the opposite sex will flirt with whoever didn't quit." Elliot cut in. "So, if you are going to report and make one of us quit, we both will." "Come on, you two. You are the best set of partners this precinct has had. No offense to everyone else." "Sure." Munch and Fin grumbled. Cragen ignored them and continued, "But I cant turn my head forever. It wont be long till something slips and the Board will come down here or make all 3 of us appear in front of the Morris Commission." Olivia and Elliot sighed. "I'll quit." They said at the same time. "No, you stay" They said at the same time, again. "I will quit." Olivia beat Elliot to saying it. "But you love working here and I cant let you do that. So, I will." "You love working here too." "Fine, you win. Just keep it on the.. how do kids say it again.. on the down low. That goes for EVERYONE in this building. Get it?"
"Yes's" echoed. "Good, now get back to work." "Cleared." Olivia smiled. "Yes. Yes we are." Elliot returned the smile. *
"You were right, El."
"About what?"
"Plenty of good looking women would fawn over a man, working alone, at least until they got the job and worked along side you."
"I could say the same about men towards you. That's what it was like with Kathy."
Kathy had finalized the divorce with Elliot 4 months ago.
"I mean, she knew about you and got jealous sometimes that I worked with another woman."
"Well, we're almost hitched now, so it doesn't matter anymore, does it?"
"Suppose not. And there you go with the 'hitched' phrase."
Before Olivia could open her mouth and protest Elliot stopped her and said "Don't worry, I think its cute."
Olivia glared at him, and rolled her eyes. "I don't want to be 'cute'"
"So-o-ory. What do you want to be, then?"
"Just not cute."
"Okay, I think its sexy. Happy now?"
"Try again, hot shot."
"I think it's.Awesome blossom y'all."
"Gee, that doesn't sound like you, El."
"I know, but will you get off my case? I didn't call you cute again."
"Okay, okay. Have a hernia, why don't you?"
It was Elliot's turn to roll his eyes. "You're funny. Did you know that? You should be a comedian." He said sarcastically.
Olivia glared at him again, then at Munch and Fin, who were leaning against a desk, grinning like fools and chuckling.
"What did WE do to offend you two?" Munch asked.
"Just being there, guys. Now, get the hint and move." Olivia teased.
"I'm going. I'm going." Munch grumbled. Fin didn't move.
"Fin." Elliot said in a warning tone.
He rolled his eyes and walked away too, back to his desk. Meanwhile, Elliot and Olivia pushed their desks together so the fronts were together.
Across the room, Munch and Fin were still teasing them.
"I hear can hear you" Olivia said loudly across the room. "You're talking pretty damn loud."
Fin continued to talk to Munch, but much softer so Olivia could hear, at least they didn't think she could.
"Anyways," Olivia continued to Elliot, "I wa thinking that maybe, we can go to Long Beach and get married."
"Long Beach, California or Long Island, New York?"
"California. I heard its nice out there." (A/N: I live in California and I love it. =D)
"How about Long Island next week or Long Beach, in 1 month, like planned?"
"Next week!" Olivia exclaimed, happily.
"Yes. Next week. Which is it?"
"If you have to ask, you aren't as smart as you think you are"
Elliot grinned.
A/N: review and chapter 9 will be coming your way soon. =D.
