A/N WOW! I actually have five reviewers and six reviews. Didn't think it
would actually go so well. Wow. Thanks guys. I know everyone says this but
Reviews really do make me want to work faster and get the story uploaded.
I'll try to get two done today.
Dates and dogs
Olivia stepped out of her car, and checked her hair one last time. "Okay here we go. The first date is always the hardest." She said, checking phone for the time. This is where I'm supposed to meet Bobby, if he got the note that is. She checked her makeup one more time before heading into the restaurant.
Bobby Goren selected the billionth tie of the hour to change into it seemed, before he just took the tie out. "Wow don't we look nice?" the voice of his partner said. She had been helping him select his clothes, cuz that's what a good partner does for their bachelor partner. She got up from the chair she was lounging on and gave Bobby a little push. "You look fine now go before she decides you've been late enough and goes home."
They sat down to their meal of pasta, soup, and salad, each glad the other hadn't overdressed for the occasion. "So how long have you been one the force Bobby?" Olivia asked, glad that the candles that were burning at each table hid her blush from the silence.
"Oh about eight years, I was in the army for about seven years before that. And yourself?" he answered, glad that he hadn't yet gotten around to drilling Stabler for information. The man would probably get violent with him, and something could get broken, Bobby's or Elliot's.
Olivia smiled. "The same. Eight years on the job, six of them in SVU." She said, then the silence reigned again. She ate her salad then sipped at her soup, dipping the breadsticks in it. "Well how long have you and Alex been partners?" she finally asked. There seemed to be a hidden Alex/Goren romance there.
Bobby grinned at Olivia, then answered her question with a hint of happiness that they were talking instead of there being silence. "Well Eames and I have been partners for about two years now. I had eight other partners in the past." He didn't say why he had had so many partners, and he was glad she didn't ask.
They managed to get all the way through the meal without much awkwardness, other than the fact that Goren could tell all sorts of details of her life just by the way she ate. "I guess this is why you don't need a psychiatrist in Major Case right?" she asked dryly, noting that he jumped. Apparently he didn't even realize he was doing it. Right as he opened his mouth to answer though, a dog came streaking into the room, and jumped into Bobby's lap. He shoved it of before he recognized the dog. "Robert?" he asked with surprise. The dog woofed and it was then that Olivias cell rang.
"Benson. WHAT?! WHEN?! Where? Does he know yet? Okay we're on our way." She shut the phone then eyed Bobby, wondering how to tell him. He glanced up and froze. "It's Eames isn't it?" he asked sadly. Then he leaped to his feet, grabbed the dog, and took off, his long stride carrying him halfway out of the room before Olivia recovered and followed.
