Chapter Two: Me in Your Eyes
Elliot entered the squad room tired and somewhat bitter. He dropped his coat off at the coat rack and walk immediately to the coffee machine. Something was wrong. Olivia could sense it a mile away.
Elliot, are you alright?
Olivia, I dont want to talk right now.
Elliot, look at me. He looked at her with broken eyes. Olivia grabbed his hand and made him look at her. Elliot, what is going on?
Liv, you know how it is. Kathy and I are fighting. I think sometimes she just wants us to fight. Hey, can we talk later? I do not want to delve into my problems right now.
Okay, she said, getting lost in his broken eyes, We will do lunch today. Just you can me. You can vent. Does that sound good?
Thanks. I think we should interview Charly about her involvement in the Diez case.
Oh I did that this morning. Now we just need to file the paperwork.
Get a confession?
She definately helped out, but I still cant figure out who the perp is. This is a very frusterating case.
Another thing to talk about at lunch! Elliot said with a calm smile. Olivia began to turn a little pink at the closeness between them. They soon separated and got to their massive piles of paper work.
Olivia, common. I want to eat! Hurry! God Elliot, patience please. Let me just get my wallet. Even impatient, Olivia found Elliot completely irresistable. She took out her keys and let Elliot drive to whatever restaurant he wanted. To her surprise, they stopped at a Burger King about 30 minutes from the station. In the little fast food place, Olivia and Elliot sat in silence. She just looked at him, hoping he wouldnÕt see through her facade. He is so beautiful. Why cant I just love him? Oh, his wife. Yes. Elliot would never leave her, no matter how much I love him. He is the best person I have ever know in my life. I better say something.
Elliot, why were you so jaged this morning? Jaged? You know what I mean. Appearently I dont. Liv, what do you mean by that? I just mean you were very distant this morning. Elliot, whats going one between you and Kathy? Liv, I dont want to get into this. Elliot, you promised me you would tell me at lunch. Now what is going on? Olivia, we arent in love any more. At least I dont think we are. You know how much I have been trying, but she does not seem to care anymore. I tried to get us into some counseling, but she wouldnt agree to it. She said she wasnt going to pay for sessions that I would either be late to or not show up at all. Things seem to be going down Olivia. Im scared. Elliot, Im so sorry. Kathy knows how much you have given up for her and the kids. Relationships take time and they take patience. You guys have been together for twenty years. There are always going to be problems, but you can work them out. You are the most stubborn man I have ever known. You wont give up without a fight. That is just it Liv, I have been fighting for years! She just is so cold sometimes. Im just glad I have you to talk to. Thank you for being here, with me...right now. God you look beautiful. As he said this, he grabbed her hand and stared into her deep brown eyes. She began to feel weak and all she wanted to do is confess her true feeling for him right there and now. She saw, however, a shaken sense of responsibility and loyalty when she looked into his gorgeous eyes. She went and touched his blue tattoo on his forearm to calm him down before the meal came. They were quiet and she just smiled. Olivia, he said suddenly, I want you to know that i am grateful that you are in my life everyday. You keep me sane and just care. With this he kissed her hand and she pulled her hand away, more swept away than ever. When the food came, Elliot said a quick prayer and dove into his Double Whopper and fries. Olivia just ate some Chicken fries while sipping a Diet Coke enjoying every moment with Elliot in that restaurant. After they ate, it began to rain outside. Elliot realized he did not have a rain jacket at the squad room, so they went to stop at the house before returning to the office. When he pulled up to the house, he insisted that Olivia came with him. When they reached the door, he noticed the door was unlocked. They pulled out their guns and entered the house. Kathy! he yelled, You here? They heard a giggle coming from the bedroom. Elliot recognized that laugh; it was Kathy. He walked in to see Kathy in bed with Andy, Olivias ex-husband. Olivia only married him for a period of six months after a brief summer romance. Elliot just dropped his gun. Oh shit, Elliot, I can explain everything! I met Andy about 6 years ago, about a year after you joined SVU. After seeing you and Olivia so close, I needed someone to be with me and understand me. It was not until recently that I learned he was Olivias ex. Im sorry Elliot. I always wanted to tell you about Andy, but we fell out of love. I was tired of being viewed as an obligation. I wanted us to separate, you know that. Now I donÕt see why we shouldnt just file for divorce. Im sorry Elliot. Olivia never liked Kathy. She seemed too fake and superficial to be with someone like Elliot. Elliiot couldnt even speak. He just grabbed his suitcase, packed his things and left. As he left the loveless house, he yelled to Kathy, Im taking the kids... tomorrow. Let them know that I will be picking them up after school. Goodbye Kathy. Liv, lets go. He went to the car and Olivia approached Kathy and slapped her across the face. What kind of fool are you for leaving a man like Elliot? That was all she needed to say. Olivia locked the door and went to Elliot. He stood in the rain, dripping. Damn it Liv, I forgot my coat. All she could do was hold him.
