Never Wanna Say Goodbye
Olivia's POV
That's the one thing about partners; Elliot always can tell when I have something on my mind. Up till now, he wasn't able to figure out what I was thinking about unless I told him, and he usually tried to pry it all out of me.
Elliot parks the car along the side of a deserted street and turns to stare at me. "Tell me what's wrong!" he demands. His male ego is telling him that he can fix anything that's making me miserable.
I've hid these thoughts for too long now and it's time to let them out. I let my eyes meet his for a moment before I stare out the windshield into the dark night.
"I've never been in love El," I know I'm whispering but I don't know why.
"You must have been at some time!" he's trying to be rational.
"I never had anyone who I cared for that much! Never thought I ever would!"
Never been in love
Cause a girl like me
Never had someone to care for
Never thought there could be
Someone special for me
But now I'm all in love
Cause a girl like me
Waited patiently for someone
Someone to care for me
And there will never be
He is slightly shocked; I can sense his hesitation to say anything. His hesitation to break the moment.
"Except I think I'm in love now!"
"With whom?" he asks quickly, I can see the fear flicker through his eyes.
"Someone I patiently waited for."
I smile at him and watch him try to figure out who I am talking about. He won't be able to know that I'm talking about him unless I drop some more clues. Which I'm not going to do . . . yet!
No more lonely, no more just me
I've been there before
Ain't goin no more
And now that you're here I
Never wanna say goodbye love
Never wanna be without you
No more cryin, no denyin'
I'm in love with you
And now that you're here I
I never wanna say goodbye love
"How does that make you feel?" who does he think he is? George Huang?
"Jesus El, you're not my goddamn shrink!"
He chuckles softly and I laugh along with him.
"I would say that I won't by lonely or alone anymore but I think I'm a little off on my description." I sigh
"Doesn't he love you back?" Elliot seems really concerned about this.
"No, but I don't want to say goodbye or be without him!"
Now it's time for me
To find out what the first time love could mean
Little scared but its cool
Cause it's worth it
Now I finally fell in love
And I know that it
Gots to be for real (So real)
It's the way that I feel
So come share my world with me
So there will never be
"Why wouldn't he love you?" My partner asks, I see tears forming behind his eyes.
And you all wonder why I fell forbiddingly in love with this compassionate man.
"He can't afford to." I state softly his job is on the line and he's only separated from his wife, not divorced. I don't say my thoughts out loud.
"Who is the bastard? Let me talk to him Liv!" I stop the chuckle that threatens to escape. If only Elliot knew that he was the bastard who he wanted to talk to.
"I'm a little scared!" I admit, "But it's worth it, spending some time with him and knowing that I haven't gotten in the way of his life."
"Liv,"
No more lonely, no more just me
I've been there before
Ain't goin no more
And now that you're here I
Never wanna say goodbye love
Never wanna be without you
No more cryin, no denyin'
I'm in love with you
And now that you're here I
I never wanna say goodbye to love
As much as I love Elliot, I am not willing to let those feelings buy me a new partner. They haven't infiltrated the office yet, and they won't if I can help it.
I know Elliot loves me, in a big brother, concerned partner, caring colleague type of way. I can live with that. I can stand here with my arms open to him and not need him to hold me together. I can settle for starting lovingly at him from across our partner's desk.
"It doesn't matter El,"
He's not going to believe me, even though it's true. When you love someone, their happiness is your biggest concern. I wouldn't get in the way of Elliot and Kathy's relationship even if it meant taking an emotional bullet to the heart.
So I'm standin here
Arms open wide
Ready to give my heart
I'm sure this time
Love's gonna last for life
Baby I know things change
And there might be some rain
But the clouds are gonna clear
And the sun is gonna shine again
Shine light on our love baby
So let's make it last forever
"It does matter Olivia!" he looks so sincere, "You deserve to be treated like a princess."
I try not to laugh, imagining me being pampered and petted. No thank you.
"No, it doesn't matter. You can't afford to love me the way I love you! There is too much at stake." I clap my hands over my mouth. I wish I could eat my words. I guess my fairy god parents are on an extended vacation. The Earth forgot to swallow me.
Elliot just stares at me for a few minutes, letting my words be absorbed into his brain.
Slowly, I see a smile creep onto his face and his hand loops around the back of my head. He pulls my mouth towards me and kisses me soundly on the mouth.
"No more lonely Liv. I'm never gonna say goodbye!"
No more lonely, no more just me
I've been there before
Ain't goin no more
And now that you're here I
Never wanna say goodbye to love
Never wanna be without you
No more cryin, no denyin'
I'm in love with you
And now that you're here
I never wanna say to goodbye
The End…
