If you read Mr steal your girl you really wouldn't think that i like Barba and Olivia together. Let me see if i can change your mind.
Quick swearing warning also not too sexual but it's implied.
"You and I are done talking." Those words. His eyes. The expression on her face. Olivia benson hated them all. How hurt he was. Fucking hell Olivia you really screwed this up she thinks. After the shit that she's been through over the past couple of years... she really couldn't lose Rafael too. She ends it with Tucker about a month later. Rafael hadn't caused the break up. He was just to reason why she did it sooner than she thought she would.
He really wasn't suprised that she ended it with Tucker. Rafael knew it wouldn't last too long anyway. He is an IAB captian that has tried to take her job on a numher of occasions. Of course Rafael was pissed off. Seeing the woman he loves hate a man for a long time and then in a heated argument find out that she is dating. It pissed him off. It still does piss him off. So when he found out it had ended he was happy to an extent. What he never expected was what happened a week after the break up between Tucker and Olivia.
It all starts with a knock at his office door. 8PM is the time. Friday is the day. The person knocking was...
Olivia benson. He shouts come in and she does. Rafael doesn't look up straight away, instead he finishes the sentence he's writing. When he looks up he doesn't see a tough, strong cop. Instead the woman he sees is totally different, he sees a woman who has cried recently, also he detects a feeling of fear by the look in her eyes. "Olivia." He says. He starts to worry. She says nothing. He gets up and goes around to her. When he gets into reaching distance she pulls herself into him, wrapping her arms around him. "Hey. What's wrong?" He asks in a almost whisper. She says nothing, instead just sighing and holding him a little tighter.
When Olivia finally speaks it's only 2 words in a whisper "I'm sorry." But she doesn't look at him, she just keeps her head against his shoulder.
"What for? You've done nothing wrong. I'm more bothered about you being upset Liv."
"I hurt you." She whispers.
"What are you talking about?" He asks. Then it clicks... Tucker. "Liv... are you talking about me finding out about Ed Tucker?" Olivia just nodds against his shoulder. "What's brought this on?" He asks softly.
She lifts her head up and looks at him. "Dodds. He was talking to someone on the phone about getting a new ADA the day after you found out that I was with Tucker. I heard it again today just before my meeting with him. Apparently it was for another unit but I didn't trust it. I thought you told him to say that."
"You thought I was going..."
"Yeah... I thought coz of Tucker you were going." The tears start to fall down her face.
"Liv... I'm not going to get up and just leave you without you knowing." Olivia just looks away. "You had flashbacks to what happened with Elliot didn't you?"
"Yeah... I guess."
"There's 1 difference between me and Elliot."
"What's that?"
"I won't leave you."
"You can't say that..."
"I can. Captian Benson the only way I'm leaving you is if there is a sheet over me."
"Rafael..."
"I believe when your getting married they say until death do us part." He says tilting her chin so she is looking directly at him. He whipes her face with his sleeve.
"What exactly are you saying?"
"Liv when I found out about you and Tucker it annoyed me. He tried to ruin your carrer on a number of occasions and his reward was sleeping with you. I was hurt because I thought you would be able to tell me stuff like that... But to be honest. I was jealous."
"Jealous. Why were you jealous?"
He just takes a breath and looks her in the eye before leaning into kiss her. The kiss is delicate and slow. He lifts off his lips. "Does that help?"
She kisses his neck before whispering seductively "You make a good point. Now shut up and kiss me again."
He does.
When they part from a more heated kiss, she is on his desk. The files he had spent his evening using as a way to forget about Olivia are now on the floor. Her legs wrapped around his. She looks at him "I prefer the marriage option to the you leaving without saying anything one."
"Me too. Captain." He says before crashing his lips against hers once more.
