Sorry it took so long to update I've been pounded with homework. You know how high school is. I think there is only going to be one more chapter after this. But I'll see how it goes.

"So El are you guys going skating tonight or tomorrow?" Olivia asked

"I think tomorrow when it's not so crowded."

"I'm going to try to make it if the offer is still out there." She said

"It's always there for you beautiful." He says with a smile. She blushes and looks away.

"Thanks. I have absolutely nothing to do so I'm going to be there."

"Oh so you had plans but they got cancelled so I'm the second choice."

"No I didn't mean it like that. I wanted to go anyway and if it's with you then that's just a bonus." She winks at him.

"Ok well if you put it that way. Where is Dr. Bite at." He says with a laugh.

"Well if you must know I kicked him out last night because he had a woman's thong in his pocket." "And before you ask it wasn't mine." She ends with tears in her eyes but quickly looked away.

"Oh I am so sorry Liv I didn't know…" he trails off.

"Don't worry about it, he wasn't that good anyway." She tells him with a fake smile.

He says "ok" even though he can see the pain in her eyes.

About 7:30 p.m.

Everyone had left by this time but Elliott and Olivia stayed behind to finish some paperwork. She had said she was going to the bathroom but she was gone for quite a while and Elliott was getting suspicious.

"I wonder what is taking her so long." He thought to himself. " I hope nothing is wrong, maybe I should go check on her." "No she'll be angry if I go looking for her."

Five more minutes passed and he still did not see her.

"That's it I'm going to get her."

He walked to the women's bathroom and put his ear to the door. He heard something but he wasn't sure what it was. He put his ear to the door. "Is she crying?" he thought.

He opened the door and saw her sitting on the floor against the far wall.

"Liv" he said. "Are you ok"

"Yeah I'm fine I just…"

"It's Robb isn't it?" he said. She nodded her head and looked away. He walked over and sat next to her.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to his chest. Olivia just broke down. The sobs racking her body. Elliott rubbed her back soothingly and whispered comforting words.

After a while he felt her relax and look up to him.

"I'm sorry you had to see me like this." She said not letting her eyes meet his.

"Hey Liv its ok. You've seen me at my bad times too." He said.

"I thought I knew him better than this. He was so… sweet and I thought he was a man that really cared for me. But I guess not."

"He is an ass. He really doesn't know what kind of woman he just passed up."

"Yeah but…"

"No buts Olivia. You deserve better than that."

"I know." She said quietly.

"So let's forget him and go have a drink."

"No I think I'm going to go home and go to sleep." She said

"Ok. Are you still going skating tomorrow?" he asked with a smile.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." She smiles back at him and stands up. She reaches down and helps him up.

Elliott groans and Olivia laughs.

"Wow El you're getting old."

"Hahaha very funny Benson. Take your ass home and when you get there call this "old man"." He says.

"Ok fine if your still awake." She says with a grin knowing she wasn't going to call him.

He turns to walk out but stop when he hears his name.

"Elliott?"

"What?"

She wraps her arms around him and feels his arms go around her. She scolds herself for feeling at home in his arms.

"Thank you." She says quietly.

"No problem. I'm always here for a friend in need."

She smiles and slowly pulls herself out of his arms. She walks to the door and turns around.

"Goodnight El."

"Night Liv." He says watching her leave the bathroom.

He goes back to his desk and sits there for a minute. " Maybe she will find someone who is real charming and never does her wrong. Maybe someone like…me." "I would never hurt her. How I would like to love her. Only if she loved me back." He thinks to himself. He sighs and walks out.

Meanwhile

Olivia was driving home in silence thinking to herself.

"I hope I find someone good enough to love.I want someone who will never hurt me and be real charming. I want someone like Elliott. Only if he loved me back."

"To bad that's never going to happen." she said out loud. She turned up the radio and started thinking " I can't wait till tomorrow. A hole day with Elliott." She said with a smile.
