Olivia got home around ten at night. She went into her apartment and closed the door behind her. She spotted a yellow envelope on the counter top. She raised an eyebrow and picked it up.

She knew Marcus moved out but she was hoping it wasn't what she thought it was. She opened it and pulled out a stack of papers. She looked through them and noticed it was divorce papers.

She closed her eyes and held her tears to herself. She didn't want to divorce her husband. She was in love with him. She placed the papers on the countertop again.

Olivia went to her bedroom and lay down on the bed. She hated being alone. She looked over at the computer chair where Marcus normally was when he worked. He wasn't there. She missed him.

The detective tossed and turned until the idea was driving her insane. She wanted to call Marcus so badly. She was so lonely without him. Just a hug from him would do. She didn't see him in weeks.

She grabbed her phone and decided to call him. She dialed his number and waited. It rang a couple times.

"Hello"

She heard his deep voice. She instantly hung up. She had too much pride for that. Her phone started ringing this time. Olivia noticed he was calling her.

She gulped and answered. "Hello"

"Are you ok?" he asked right away.

"Yeah. Why?" She asked innocently.

"You just called and hung up. You realize you called my cell phone. I have your in my phonebook." He let out a small laugh. "I saw you were calling me."

She rolled her eyes at herself. And she called herself a detective. "Right. Sorry. I think I dialed the wrong number."

"Oh." Marcus sounded somewhat disappointed. "It's ok. Who were you calling?"

"Um…Mary." She answered. She wanted to smack herself in the head at how confused he made her all the time.

"Mary? You don't know any Mary's."

"What are you a detective now?" She teased.

He laughed. It was the first time he laughed in a long time. She didn't hear that laugh in months. "Ironic huh?"

"Yeah." She sat up a little. "While we're talking, um...you want to come over?"

"For?"

"Um…well…I made some food and there's extra." She answered and buried her face in her hands at how bad she was at this. She wasn't used to putting moves on him. He always did that. Even when they dated.

"Food? I'm always up for that." He answered. "I'll be there in half an hour."

"Cool. I'll be here." She answered with a smile.

"Cool. Tell Mary I said hello." He teased with another laugh.

"Shut up." She ordered and hung up. She sat there for a second realizing she had no food in the house. She quickly ordered Chinese and hoped it got there before he showed up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia ate some of the Chinese food as she waited for Marcus to get there. He was fifteen minutes late. Finally there was a knock on the door.

She quickly got up and fixed her hair then her bra. She answered the door and saw him standing there. She instantly smiled. "Hi."

"Hi." He came in and gave her a hug.

Olivia closed her eyes enjoying his embrace. He smelled good too. She finally let go of him. "Hi."

He laughed a little. "Hi." He held up a bottle of wine. "Thought this would go great with the dinner."

"Yeah." She nodded and took the wine. "Thanks. Come in."

He came into the apartment and closed the door behind him. "How's work?"

"Good." She answered and got plates. "You?"

"Good." He answered and went to the kitchen. "Do you need help with anything?"

"Just the glasses." She told him. He got two glasses from the cabinet. "I think this is the first time I'm actually going to buy your book without reading it first."

"Nah. I'll give you a copy." He smirked and went to the living room where the food was.

She followed him and sat down by him. She looked at him for a second. "Man its weird seeing you in jeans and dress shirt. I'm used to the t-shirts and shorts."

"Well which is better?"

"Jeans and dress shirt." She answered with a small laugh.

He grinned. "Well then I dressed up for you."

"Well thank you." She gave him a plate. "Dig in."

"That's a lot of extra food my friend." He shook his head and poured wine for them.

Olivia shrugged a little. "I order a lot."

"Right." He nodded and glanced at her with a smile.

"What was that?" She questioned.

"Nothing." He answered and gave her a glass of wine. "I don't know what we toast to."

"Um…" She held up her glass. "Us talking."

He nodded. "I like that. To us talking." They hit their glasses together and both took a sip.

They began eating and finished the wine bottle. Olivia was extremely giggly since she was tipsy but Marcus just laughed at everything she did being tipsy himself.

She grabbed him by the shirt and instead of kissing him, she bit his lip.

Marcus groaned. "Why are you biting me?" He mumbled.

Olivia let go. "I'm not sure." She sat down on him to face him. She kissed him. "Make love to me." She whispered and rubbed his chest.

"Ok I think you had more to drink then me." Marcus gave her a kiss and tried to take her off his lap. As soon as she was off she was on again.

"I'm serious." She whispered and started to unbutton his shirt. She wasn't drunk enough not to realize what she was doing but she was drunk enough not to care. "Make love to me. Please."

He looked at her up and down. He missed her body like crazy. She had a perfect body. He especially missed her breasts. He placed his hands on her back and pulled her closer. He was sober enough to know better but tipsy enough not to care. Even if this was going to make things complicated he couldn't resist her. She was his weakness.

Olivia could already feel his erection on her. Even through jeans his erection was bulging.

Marcus bit his lip as he watched her brown eyes sparkle looking in his green ones. He unzipped his jeans as fast as possible being very aroused by her. He pushed them down to his knees.

Olivia was now aroused. She undid her jeans and took them off then climbed on him again.

He pulled her closer and pulled her sweater off her. He undid her bra and threw it to the side. He kissed her chest as she moved around and settled him inside her.

She held his shoulders as she began moving. She kissed him and grabbed the back of his hair as both panted against one another.

Marcus threw both of their bodies down on the couch and lay down as she kept moving. Both finally reached their orgasm and caught their breath.

Olivia fell down next to him and breathed hard. She rested her head on his chest.

Marcus placed his arm around her and pulled the blanket down over their bodies.

Both fell asleep with each other in their arms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marcus woke up to noise and the smell of coffee.

He tossed the blanket off him and noticed his jeans were down to his knees. He rubbed his eyes and pulled his pants up. He got off the couch and zipped his jeans up and buttoned his shirt up.

"Hey you're up." Olivia said from the kitchen.

"Yeah." He fixed his hair. "Last night. Wow."

She smiled a little. "Yeah. I agree." She went back to making breakfast. She had her jeans and a sweater on.

Marcus cleaned up the coffee table they left last night. He placed the dishes in the sink and began washing them.

"You don't have to wash them. I'll do it." She told him.

"It's fine." He nodded and washed the plates and glasses. Both kept quiet for a bit until Marcus spoke up. "About last night…were you really drunk?"

"Not completely that I wasn't aware of what was going on." She answered. "You?"

"Same." He answered and wiped his hands. "It was just sex."

Olivia looked over at him confusingly. "Right."

He looked at her feeling her eyes on him. "What?"

She shook her head. "Nothing."

He raised an eyebrow. "Olivia did you think it was something more?"

"No."

"If you did you have to tell me."

She turned the stove off and leaned on the counter top. "I just…didn't think it was just casual sex. I mean it's us. I didn't know we could come to casual sex this early."

He nodded a little. "Oh. I didn't mean to lead you on. I thought we both thought it was just sex. I mean if you thought we were getting back together because that, it really wasn't my intention to make you think that."

"No." She shook her head. "I know it wasn't."

He crossed his arms on his chest feeling awkward. "Maybe we shouldn't have had sex. It just made things complicated."

Olivia shook her head. "No. It's fine. It was just sex. I get it." She placed food on the plate. "Want to eat with me?"

He looked at her for a second before nodding. "Sure." He took the plate and sat down at the kitchen table.

Olivia sat across him. Both kept quiet as they ate.

Olivia spoke up this time. "How's your book?"

"It's good. No writers block yet." He answered with a small smile.

"You never took that computer I gave you." She spoke up.

He nodded. "I know. I didn't feel right taking a present from you after telling you I filed for divorce. You could use it."

"For?" She smiled. "All I have is files and my computer work is actually at work. You should take it. I bought it for you."

He nodded. "One day after I stop feeling guilty I will."

She looked up at him. "Feeling guilty for what?"

He shrugged a little. "Leaving you. It's kind of selfish."

"No. You weren't happy with me. You shouldn't feel selfish."

"I was happy with you Olivia. I wasn't happy with you never being home. If you were home we would still be together."

Olivia nodded. "It's my job."

"I know. I know you love your job, that's why I didn't want to make you choose between your job and me. It would be unfair."

Olivia nodded. "Thanks…I guess."

He played with his food for a while. "Just out of curiosity, your job or me? No hard feelings."

Olivia stared at him for a second. She wasn't sure. She always thought he was the most important thing to her. "I don't know."

He nodded. "Alright."

"Writing or me?"

He thought about it for a second. "You. Because you would want me to write because it makes me happy."

Olivia smiled and nodded. "Good answer." Olivia's phone started ringing.
"Sorry" She rolled her eyes and grabbed it. "Benson. I'll be right there."

Marcus started to pick up their food from the table knowing she had to go.

Olivia hung up her phone. "I'm sorry."

"I know. I'm used to it." He answered and washed the dishes. He finished them as Olivia got ready for work.

Olivia placed her gun and badge on her waist and came over to him. "I'll see you around."

He nodded and followed her out. "Weird how I'm leaving when you are." He waited for her to lock the door behind them.

"I know."She answered with a small smile as they went down the stairs.

He walked her to her car. "Liv?"

"Yeah?" She turned around to look at him after opening her door.

"Even though we're separated…think we could still be friends?"

She nodded. "Yeah. I'd like that." She smiled.

"Good." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Be careful." He went to his car as she went in hers.
