The next morning Elliot brought two coffees. One for him and one for his partner. He sat hers on her desk and winked at her. "Thanks El." She smiled.
"Your welcome. Sorry I didn't pick you up. Kathy left before I woke up and I had to get the kids to school." He explained.
"It's okay."
Fin walked in soon after with a single cup of coffee in his hand. "Morning Elliot. Good morning Baby-girl." He walked past Olivia's desk and kissed her cheek causing her to smile.
"Good morning Fin."
"Fin can I talk to you privately please?" Elliot asked standing up from his desk. He looked at Olivia and saw her smirk, knowing she knew what he wanted to talk to Fin about. Fin nodded his head and followed Elliot out of the bullpen and into the cribs.
"What's up man?" Fin asked.
"You got a thing for Liv?"
"You mean Benson?" Fin smiled as he thought of her. "I don't know man. She's beautiful, she's funny, she's smart, independent, strong... she's everything you'd ask for in a woman. So i mean, i guess. I wouldn't mind dating her. Actually i'd love to date her. Why?"
Elliot shook his head and started for the door but quickly turned around. "Leave her alone. Your relationship with her is nothing but professional. That includes kissing her."
"And who are you to tell me what i can and can't do. You don't own me or her. If i wanted to ask Olivia out, i will and you can't stop me."
"Fin I swear if you so much as.." Elliot was cut off by a knock on the door and Olivia entering.
"El, Kathy is on your line. She says it's urgent and she sounds pissed." Olivia told him and he nodded walking towards the door.
"So Olivia i was wondering if.." Fin started.
"No." Elliot cut in. "Come on Liv." Elliot gently grabbed her arm pulling her out of the cribs.
"El, Fin was going to ask me something." Olivia told him once they were back at their desks.
"He wants to ask you out, Liv." Elliot picked up his phone, saying hello to his wife.
As Elliot talked to his wife, he saw Fin re-enter the squad room and walk directly to Olivia. He tuned Kathy out as he listened to Fin talk to Olivia.
"So as i was saying before your partner interrupted me, i was wondering if you want to go out sometime? Maybe to dinner and a movie?" Fin asked.
"That's sounds great Fin but instead of going out, why don't you come to my apartment later tonight and i'll make you dinner?" She smiled brightly at him, then glanced at Elliot seeing his shocked expression.
"Sounds even better." Fin told her and watched as she wrote down her address on sticky note and handed it to him.
"Come over around eight." She winked at him and got to work.
At around 6:30 Olivia decided to start on dinner. As she worked on the lasagna, her doorbell rang. She was confused as to why he was over so early. She answered the door and saw Elliot on the other side. "El, what are you doing here."
"So i heard Fin's coming over." she nodded. "Why?"
"He's a friend and he wanted to go out, so i invited him over for dinner." She walked into her kitchen and Elliot followed closing the door behind him. "Your're welcome to stay too El."
He smiled wrapping his arms around her as she prepared the lasagna. "That smells amazing." He gently placed a kiss to the back of her neck.
"Thank you." she smiled at him. "So what did Kathy want earlier."
"She was pissed that i took you to the beach with us and that i asked her to sign the divorce papers." Olivia nodded. "So what's for dessert?"
"Well i was going to make a pie, but i changed my mind. So unless you guys want ice cream then there is no dessert." Olivia said as she put the lasagna in the oven. Elliot went to her refrigerator and pulled out some whipped cream.
"How about this and you?" Elliot said seductively.
Olivia laughed. "I don't think so." Elliot smirked, shook the bottle and pointed the nozzle at Olivia. "Elliot put it down!" He shook his head and sprayed all on her face and body. "God i hate you."
She grabbed the bottle from his hands and sprayed him back. "Oh its on!" He charged after her as she ran to the living room. He tackled her on the couch and she screamed. He laughed as he laid on top of her. "Although you're covered in whipped cream, you are so sexy."
She smiled and looked into his eyes. "Kiss me." He gently kissed her lips, slipping his tongue in her mouth tasting her and the whipped cream. After a few minutes of kissing Elliot stood up, pulling her with him. "You're covered in whipped cream." she laughed.
"Yeah i know. Hey do you mind if i use your shower?"
"Not at all. I'm pretty sure i have a pair of over sized sweats and a t-shirt you can change into if you want to." She told him as they walked to her bedroom.
"That would be great."
"Kay, just make sure you don't use all of the hot water. I want a shower too."
"We could save time and hot water by showering together." Elliot joked.
She smiled. "I don't think so. Hurry up. Fin will be here in less than an hour." He nodded and shut the door.
While Elliot was in the shower, Olivia took this time to check on her lasagna and clean up the whipped cream from her apartment. She laughed to herself as she cleaned up the mess. Several minutes later, Elliot walked into the kitchen with only a pair of sweats on. "The shirt didn't fit, but the shower's free."
"I'll see if i have another one. In like 5 minutes, can you take the lasagna out of the oven?" He nodded. "Thanks." She smiled before closing the door.
A few minutes later, just as Elliot was taking the lasagna out of the oven, there was a knock at the door. He walked to the door and opened it, seeing Fin. Fin took in his appearance. No shirt, sweats and he was barefoot. "Those flowers for me?" Elliot asked Fin as he stood shocked. "Come in. Olivia's in the shower but she should be out in a minute." Elliot stepped to the side letting Fin in.
"Why are you here? And where's your clothes?" Fin asked.
"Well i came over and Olivia told me that she was cooking dinner for you. She said i could stay and we ended up getting into a fight with some whipped cream. Things got a little messy so we took a shower." Elliot explained.
"Why are you here and not at home with your wife?"
"Kathy and i are getting a divorce." He said simply. Just then Olivia opened her bedroom door coming out, wearing only a towel.
"Hey El, i found another shirt for you." She looked up seeing Fin standing next to him, confused with flowers in his hand. "Fin! I didn't know you were here." She threw the shirt at Elliot and went back to her bedroom.
"You're screwing her too? That's why you didn't want me asking her out." Fin shook his head and handed the flowers to Elliot. "Give these to her. I'll see y'all tomorrow." Fin said as he left the apartment.
Olivia returned soon after he left, fully dressed. "Where'd he go?"
"He left. Something came up and he had to leave." Elliot lied. "He wanted me to give you these." Elliot handed her the flowers.
"Okay well let's eat." She smiled as she fixed them both a plate.
They sat across from each other at her table finishing their meal. "That was really good Liv. I didn't no you could cook."
"Don't underestimate me El." She smirked. "Now I'm ready for dessert." She told him seductively. "But without the whipped cream." She winked at him and she walked around the table to his side, then sat on his lap. "What do you say El." She turned in his lap, now straddling him.
"God this is so hard. Baby, i want you so bad but i refuse to make you the other woman. I want to make love to you but i want to wait until the time is right."
She smiled and quickly kissed him before getting up. "I understand El."
"Good." he stood up as well. "Let me help you clean up."
They stood side by side as they washed the dishes. Getting bored, Elliot grabbed the sprayer from the sink and sprayed her shirt. "Elliot! You're suppose to wash the dishes, not me!"
"I got bored and you look very sexy wet." He smirked spraying her again. "Maybe you should take that off and put it in the dryer." He laughed then calmed down when she actually removed her shirt. "Liv.." he paused as she stood staring at him in her bra.
She smirked. "Two can play at that game El. Now you have to try and keep your hands to yourself while we finish cleaning."
"Impossible." He slid his hands under her thighs, quickly lifting her up and setting her on the counter. "You're impossible not to touch and i don't know if i can hold out any longer." He kissed down her neck earning a moan from Olivia. Just as he reached the column in between her breast, her cell phone ring, causing him to jump back.
He handed the phone to her as she answered. He listened to her half of the conversation with Munch as he stood uncomfortably with a raging hard on. She hung up soon and said they had a case. "I'm going to my bedroom to change and you can go in the bathroom and take care of that rather large problem." She smiled and kissed his lips before going into her bedroom.
All i ask is that you review. Thank you! :)
