This chap is going to go back and forth between Elliot and Olivia's POV's.
Elliot and I hadn't spoken about the subject all day. We tried to keep it all under wraps like Don had told us to. That night we went back to his place and sat down on the couch, had a few drinks and ate some diner.
He looks at me with those big blue eyes and I melt.
She rested her hand on my cheek and kissed me sweetly. I thought about the woman I was with and what I was about to do. I was about to change both of our lives forever. I was going to change hers the most. She had never…would she ever…me.
He pulled away from my lips and smiled. I stood up and took our dishes into the kitchen. I looked over at him pouring some more wine into each of our glasses. He looked nervous, like he did something or was going to do something that would put us both at a standstill. I walked back over and took his hand.
Oh no…I was…is she…oh shit! It is now or never. I have to do this now or I am going to regret this for the rest of my life. I love this woman and I want her in my life forever. Slowly Stabler, don't scare her off.
Be cool Benson. Just let time work it's magic. Let him ease into it.
I have been waiting for this day for a long time. As I am fussing with my pocket I think about how I got what is in my pocket months ago and just recently all is coming out. I love her and she knows it. Everyone knows it. Now if I do this we really can't be partners anymore. I don't care, I love her and I want her to be my partner in life more than just at work. I love her and no one can stop me from tonight.
He is going to do it. I can feel it. Come on El just do it and get it over with. I want to wake up next to you for the rest of our lives. I want to be with you forever. I want this night to be one that both of us sure not forget.
I take her hand, which is rested on mine on my lap, and kiss the top of it. I stand up and then kneel down in front of her. One-tear streams down her face. A sigh of relief come over both of us. Finally this night has come. Finally we will spend eternity together. Together forever and it was all because of tonight.
"Olivia Benson will you marry me?" Elliot says with tears welling up in his eyes as well.
"Yes Elliot" Olivia says softly as she wraps her arms around his neck to kiss him.
After the long passionate kiss Elliot takes Olivia's left hand and slips a diamond ring on her finger.
