A/N Sorry 4 the long update, I've been reallllly busy.I've been to New York (my home state, I'm in Missouri now)just to visit my friends and family, I've been studyingfor school (and I'm still failing science).Also, thanx to my beta, Steve Hillman.I luv u sexy :)

"How the hell was someone like you single when we met" she said letting a tear fall.

"I haven't found the right girl before you"

"Well have you found her?"

"I haven't found her, I'm holding her."They released the hug and Olivia wiped away a small tear.

"You okay?" he asked gently.Olivia nodded, then her phone rang.

"Benson" she said tucking a piece of hair behind her hair.

"Hey Liv" Eliot said softly.

"What do you want Elliot?" she said a little bit angrily

"Liv come on, don't be mad" he said pleadingly.Olivia scoffed

"Why shouldn't I be?"

"Because we're partners, and I hate when your mad at me."

"Well tough Elliot.I still don't understand why you had to tell Cragen and Munch,a cop wouldn't do that to their own partner."

"Liv come on.Do you know how bad this looks for you?"Olivia rolled her eyes even though he couldn't see her.

"Frankly I don't care.I'll see you back in the office in a few minutes.But leave me alone."

"Olivia, I" click.Olivia had hung up her phone and turned to Mike.

"Um, I gotta get going. Again, I'm sorry about what Elliot did to you."Mike shrugged

"I've been though worse. Don't worry about it Liv."Olivia nodded

"Hey, tonight, you wanna get some dinner at my apartment?"

"Okay, Seven thirty okay for you?"

"Yeah, again Mike, I'm sorry about what he did. I had no clue he was gonna tell your boss."Mike smiled and shoock his head

"You apologize too much.Don't worry about it, I'll deal with it."They kissed again, and then Olivia smiled at him then got in a cap.

"16th precinct please" she said wiping away a tear.

"I can't believe what a hell of a guy he is.I mean, he is like the perfect man, except for the whole, his squad arresting my squad thing, and my squad hating them.But other then that, god I love him.She smiled the rest of the way to the precinct, but when she got there, she rolled her eyes when she saw who was outside the precinct.She stepped out of the cab, and Elliot went up to the driver.

"How much is it, I'll pay" he said kindly

"I got it" Olivia said coldly getting some money out of her purse and handing it to the driver.The driver drove off, and Olivia pushed by Elliot.

"Liv come on I'm sorry.Will you please talk to me?"Olivia turned around and glared at him.

"No, because the last time I talked to you, I got desk duty, and the whole squad is acting like immature brats."

"Olivia, please.I mean, what was I supposed to think?"

"You were supposed to think that I would never screw some one to ensure my job!" she sad angrily.Elliot sighed then pulled something out of his pocket.

"I said I was sorry, and her" he said handing her a small package.Olivia looked at it and scoffed.

"Chocolate covered cherries?What you think this is supposed to make every thing all better?"

"Well yeah. And I got the ones with the clear syrup too, I know they're your favorite," he said smiling a small smile at her.Olivia glared at him

"Elliot, some five dollar chocolates isn't gonna change what you did. I mean, you told Cragen about something that wasn't even your biasness."Elliot looked sad, but she didn't care.

"Liv come on.I said I was sorry, and I hate it when we're mad at each other."Olivia glared at him.

"You should have thought about that before you told Cragen and Munch."Olivia walked into the precinct with a sad looking 'Elliot after her.She went to her desk, sat down and began on her paperwork, ignoring everyone around her.Munch and Fin looked at each other before they went up to her

"Um Liv, look, we just wanted to say, we're sorry. We should have known you wouldn't date a rat just to get a free ride."Olivia just continued to work on her paperwork, trying to ignore them.They looked at each other, before Fin started talking.

"We never should have called you a traitor, that was just cold. Plus, we never should have spread it around."Olivia was finding it really hard to ignore them both

"Olivia please" Munch pleaded with her.

'I hate when we're fighting, and we we're really wrong to say those things to you.But we thought that it was an conspiracy"

"You think every things a conspiracy" Fin said rolling his eyes

"Well most every thing is. The moon thing, the Marilyn Monroe thing, the selling lemonade by 'innocent' five year olds.All cooked up by the government. Olivia couldn't help but smile a small smile, and laugh a small laugh.

"Aww, look who's talking to us. So come on Liv, can you please forgive us?" Fin said pleadingly.Olivia rolled her eyes

"I wasn't talking to you, I'm just laughing at your stupid attempts to get me to talk to you."

"Well is it working?"

"Get me a coffee and I'll think about it."Fin pulled out a large Starbucks cup behind his back

"Already done."Olivia rolled her eyes and took the coffee cup.

"So now do you forgive us?"

"Since you got me coffee, yeah I guess."They smiled at her, and then sat down at their desks, giving each other a high five.Elliot came into the precinct and sat down at his desk.Olivia put her head down and didn't look at him.Elliot sighed then began work on his paper work.

"Damn it Stabler, congratulations, you screwed up one of the most important relationship in your life."Elliot looked over at her, and she was trying so hard not to look, or speak to him.

"What if we don't speak again, what if she asks for a partner transfer, oh god Stabler what have you done."He looked over at her again and took a deep breath.

"Um, Liv?" he said softly.

"What, Stabler" she said coldly and not looking up at him.

"She only uses my last name when she's really pissed at me, great" he thought sadly, but he continued.

"Um, I was wondering, if maybe, you wanted to have dinner with me.Hell, I'll even let you get what you want on the pizza" he said jokingly.

"No" she said simply and coldly.Elliot looked down, then back at her.

"Come on Liv, look I told you I was sorry, we've been though way to much to give up our partner ship."

"Frankly Stabler I really don't care, you got involved in something that wasn't your business, and you got me desk duty cause of it, when it was no big deal.So just shut up, cause right now, I'm really considering walking into Cragen's office and asking for a new partner."Elliot's eyes got wide; she had only used that threat once before when he ordered her a protective detail when she didn't want it. She was angry at him for two weeks after that, and the only reason why she forgave him was because there was a case that hit way too close for home for Elliot, and she felt bad for him.Elliot looked down and tried to work on his paper work again, but he couldn't really concentrate.The rest of the day went by like this, the only time she spoke to him was when she yelled at him for telling off Ken Briscoe for insulting her again, and she glared at him and told him that she could take care of herself.But at six thirty, Olivia's paperwork was finally complete.She put down her pen and stretched her neck, then got up and got her coat, then into Cragens office.He was working on something

"Hey, um, Cap?" she said softly. He looked up at the door and looked at her

"Yes" he said looking up at her. He didn't want to say it, but he felt a little bit bad about giving Olivia a month and a half of desk duty.

"Uh, we don't have any case's and, paper work's all done, so can I go?" (A/N I don't know if cops can do this, just roll with it)

"Why do you wanna go so early?" he said, already knowing.Olivia shrugged

"Just wanna get home.I am just so tired I could pass out" she said hopefully convincing.Cragen nodded then went back to his paper work.Olivia smiled then went to the door.

"If he asks you about the precinct, then what are you gonna do?" Cragen said just before she closed he door.Olivia sighed then turned back to him

"He won't, you gotta trust me captain.I know how to take care of myself."Cragen sighed then nodded

"Your lucky I trust you Benson, you know most CO's would fire a member a cop if she dated a member of the IAB."

"Thankfully your a very trusting man" Olivia said hopefully.

"Yeah but still, I jus-"

"Don't worry about it," she said interrupting him.

"If he asks about the precinct once, I'll, I'll break it off with him" she said looking down.Cragen nodded then sighed

"Just be careful Liv, I don't want you to get hurt."

"I won't, I promise" Olivia said softly. Cragen nodded then Olivia walked out of his office and to her desk.She grabbed her coat and Elliot looked up at her

"Where are you going?" he said softly

"Wouldn't you like to know?" she said without looking at him.He sighed again before Olivia left the precinct.

"Damn, she's really pissed at you" Munch said looking up at him.Elliot glared at him

"How the hell did you guy's get her to forgive you?"

"Easy" Fin said getting up to get coffee

"We got her coffee, and she doesn't like us as much."

"Alright that doesn't make any sense."Elliot said rolling his eyes

"She hates me, and she's talking to you two like every thing's fine.So please enlighten me on how she likes me more?"

"Well" Fin said sitting down

"Your her partner, she trusted you more then any one in this precinct.And you spread it around, well, told Munch who spread it around but it's the same thing.But she was most disappointed in you cause, she like's you the most, and she trusted you, and you betrayed it."Elliot shock his head

"Alright, now your sounding like Huang."Fin shrugged

"What? It's true.If you want to get her to like you again, then you gotta go apologize, like really sincerely."

"But I did!" he said pleadingly

"I apologized, and frankly, she was the one that made the mistake.Even if she's not dating him for her carrier, it was still a stupid move to date a rat."Fin shock his head

"Doesn't matter, you have got to apologize if you want her to for give her."Elliot sighed then got up and got his coat on.

"Cover for me" he told Munch getting his key's out then left the precinct.Munch sighed then turned to Fin.

"You know, I swear those two could be a married couple if they were both single."Fin nodded then began to work on his paper work again.

Thirty minute's later, Olivia's apartment.

"Alright, now, you want to put a smidge of salt on the roast, but only a smidge" the old chef said on the small TV in Olivia's kitchen.

"Oh now you tell me" she said as the entire saltshaker spilt on the roast.She sighed then went into the bathroom to check her reflection.Her hair was hanging straight down, and she had on a black halter dress.Just then, she heard a loud shrill beeping.

'What the hell" she said going out to the kitchen.

"Oh my god!" she yelled running over to the stove where the roast was burning in flames.

"Oh shit," she said running over to the fire extinguisher and then running over to the stove.

"Oh my God come on work you stupid piece of shit!" she yelled as the extinguisher refused to work.

"No, help someone!" she yelled as the fire spread to the counter top and spread to the rest of the food she prepared.

"Aww, come on help please!" she yelled as she tried to get the extinguisher working again.Just then, she heard keys unlock in the front door, then some one running to the kitchen.

"What the hell happened?" Elliot asked taking the extinguisher from her.

"I don't know, the thing ain't working!"He banged it on the counter top; which was quickly becoming covered in flames.Then he pressed the trigger and the stuff came shooting out from it.He quickly put out the fire on the counter top, and then sprayed it on the roast in the oven.After the fire was out, he coughed then looked at the counter, witch was now black, including the food she prepared.He coughed again then turned to Olivia

"Sometimes you just need to give it a good bang" he said handing it to her.

"Thanks" she said taking it from him and hanging it back on the wall

"No problem."They were silent for a moment before Olivia spoke

"Well you can go now."Elliot sighed as Olivia made her way to the door and opened it.

"Wait Liv, please I just wanna talk."

"About what Elliot?About how you got involved in something that wasn't any of your business," she said a little angrily.

"Come on Liv, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to get spread around the precinct."

"I don't care El, you had no right to tell anyone about MY relationship."Elliot sighed before he spoke

"Liv, I'm sorry.But it's just, I was worried about you."

"Elliot you don't need to worry about me, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."

"I know that Liv, it's not that I'm worried again, I just, I don't like you dating an IAB agent, I know you would never do anything to screw up your job, but he might do something to improve his job."Olivia shook her head, and smiled a very small smile at him

"El, he wouldn't do that, trust me, I think I know how to read my boyfriends."Elliot shrugged then smiled at her.

"Yeah but, you should know by now that I don't trust any of your boyfriends, even if your head over heels in love."Olivia scoffed

"Yeah, I should know that, I've been your partner for seven year's now.But Mike is different"

"That's what you said about the fire fighter James, and the doctor Alex, and the clothes model Brian?" he said holding back a smile.

"Yeah but this is different, I really think that he's, you know, the one."

"And that's what you said about the cop, Andy, and the bartender, Jamel, and the hair dresser, Kevin."

"Well Kevin was gay, so he don't count.And have you kept track of every single one of my relation ships?" she said rolling her eyes.

"Well, there's also no job Ricky, and the Mexican 'actor' Carlo's."

"Alright, I get the point" she said smiling a small smile at him.

"Look I don't care about the fact that you were angry at me, even though it was pretty childish, but you told Cragen, and you called me a rat loader, that was the thing that pissed me off."Elliot sighed then got sad

"Look Liv, your right, I never should have called you a rat loader, or told Cragen, but I was worried about you, and Ii didn't want you to get hurt again."

"How will I be getting hurt?"

"Because I don't want you getting heart broken, again."Olivia sighed then went over to him.

'Look El, I won't get heart broken, Mike cares about me, and he won't break my heart."Elliot nodded then looked down

"So, does this mean we're on speaking terms again?"Olivia nodded

"Well, after you save my kitchen from being destroyed in flames, I suppose we gotta be friends again."They smiled at each other before Elliot went to the open door and bought in a large pizza box.

"I thought that you would be alone tonight, so I bought us a pizza.But, since you usually don't wear this type of stuff after you get home, or you wouldn't make a huge fancy dinner for yourself, I guess your not going to be alone tonight" he said smiling a small smile at her.Olivia rolled her eyes, then smoothed out her dress.

"You like it?"Elliot nodded

"Well, since I just saved your kitchen from going up in flames, I guess I have to say I like it."Olivia rolled her eyes again, and then smiled at him.

"I'm sorry El, I never should have been such a jerk to you."

"Don't worry about it Liv, and frankly, I deserved to be treated lie a jerk."They smiled at each other before Olivia hugged him.

"Thanks El, I'm really sorry."Elliot hugged her back

"Don't worry about it Liv."Just then they heard a knock on the wide open door.

"Um, am I interrupting something?" Mike said a little bit confused.They released the hug and Elliot turned to him.

"No, just apologizing, but uh" he added going up to him with the pizza

"Liv ain't the best of cooks, so here" he said handing it to him.

"Shut up El, I'm a great cook" she said smiling and going over to them.

"Well then, why is the entire counter top, and all the food on the counter top, burned to a crisp."Olivia shrugged

"It wasn't my fault that the oven burst into flames."

"Wait, what did I miss?" Mike said looking back and forward between the two of them. Olivia shrugged and smiled at him

"Nothing, just a little kitchen accident; so, you wanna come in, oh, your already in."

"And I think that's my cue to exit the apartment, I'll see you tomorrow Liv, enjoy the pizza"

"Bye El, and thanks for the pizza" she said blushing a little bit.He nodded then walked out of the door, passing by Mike

"Wallice" he said coldly passing by Mike

"Stabler" Mike said in the same tone. Elliot shut the door and sighed happily as he heard the laughter and talking coming form Olivia's apartment.

"Thank god for pizza and Olivia not knowing how to use the fire extinguisher" he thought happily and walking away from her apartment.
