All These Lives

Chapter 2

Confessions

"There is a new serial rapist that has been on the move for some time now. He jumps around from state to state and we have reason to believe that he is coming to New York. He has one thing that distinguishes him from every other serial rapist, though." Cragen said starting to de-brief the detectives, "He attacks County Fairs, Carnivals, things like that."

Kacy laughed a little bit, "Great, psycho who likes to rape girls at the Fair."

"We are teaming up with the state police and going to cover the fair." Cragen stated, "We are going to plant couples to be undercover eyes. I decided to team up Kacy and Corey, and Olivia and Elliot."

Elliot immediately had to sweep the smile off his face and pull joy out of his eyes. Olivia was shocked and couldn't help but saying, "What?"

"Yes, you will have to hold hands and act like a couple for a whole night, buck up children."

Kacy stifled a laugh at Cragen's comment, and then she looked at Corey with a "Can you believe that?" expression.

"So you four have to travel to Albany, New York, tonight." Cragen said, "The state is paying for the gas for two cars, and two hotel rooms. I advise you to go home get packed and be ready to leave at 5. We have already made reservations. Elliot, I know that you just got re-married, so you can check with your wife before you go. If you can't I'll just stick Olivia with Kacy and Corey…but it'd be better if you could come."

"It's no problem." Elliot said

Cragen and Olivia gave Elliot a questioning look and then Cragen said, "Well then you better get the show on the road."

Kacy stood up and opened the door but stopped just outside the door. Corey, Olivia, and Elliot filed out, and stopped around Kacy.

"Alright so we should make a place to meet so we can travel kind of close together." Kacy said

"That's a good idea, your house is farthest out of town, can we meet there?" Olivia asked

"Yeah, great, five minutes before five?" Kacy asked

"Yeah," Olivia nodded and they all started to walk out.

Olivia looked out over the cityscape out the passenger side window. Elliot was driving, thinking about if it'd be awkward holding hands with Olivia. He was also wondering if she wanted him as much as he wanted her.

Olivia wasn't thinking about the case amazingly, she was thinking about why Elliot had been able to come on the case. She knew Kathy and she wouldn't break under her terms, especially after being re-married.

She was too curious not to ask, so she did. "Hey El."

"Huh?" Elliot answered

"What's the deal with Kathy. She would never let you go to work after getting re-married because of the terms."

"There are no terms," Elliot said simply.

"What?" Olivia asked looking over at him.

"We didn't get re-married." Elliot said gently

"El…what do you mean." Olivia asked

"Well the judge walked in and I just couldn't do it. I just told Kathy that it wasn't the same." Elliot said wishing he could tell her the other reason he didn't couldn't do it.

"How did Kathy respond?" Olivia asked

"She handled it really well. She was glad that at least one of us had enough courage to say so." Elliot said, "I think it was understood that we were just attempting to get back together because of Eli."

"Yeah," Olivia said looking out the window to hide a smile.

"I mean I stopped loving her like that a long time ago." Elliot said

"Yeah?" Olivia said inquisitively.

"Yeah about seven years ago." Elliot said

"Seven years ago? Trying to tell me something El." Olivia said jokingly.

"Yeah, I guess." Elliot said looking into her eyes.

Olivia had her mouth open, she was trying to mouth the word what but couldn't. She realized that Elliot was swerving out of his lane. So instead she half-screamed and said, "Elliot, the road."

Elliot turned and was looking closely to the road, and squeezing the steering wheel as tight as he could.

"God Olivia, I'm sorry." Elliot said, "I didn't mean to put you on the spot, and do that."

"It's okay, El." Olivia said, "I understand."

There were a couple of moments of silence. Elliot wanted to know if she loved him back but he had to muster up the nerve to ask her.

"You…understand as in like you feel the same way?" Elliot asked

"No," Olivia said before a pause then added, "I don't really understand considering I didn't fall out of love with my wife because I met you."

Elliot smiled and shook his head. He had thought for a moment that she didn't feel the same way which was not a very good feeling but was thankful when he knew she was kidding. "You know what I mean, Liv."

"Yeah…I feel the same." Olivia stated.

"Good to know," Elliot said as his hand glided over hers and landed on it.

Olivia wanted to be professional but had waited way too long, she looked over to him and smiled.

Olivia walked out of the hotel bathroom in black sweatpants and a black tank top. She ran a hand through her hair absent mindedly, as she walked to her suitcase and put away her dirty clothing. Elliot was watching her graceful moves. He loved how oblivious she was to her definite beauty, it was unimaginable.

"You okay?" Elliot asked not taking his eyes off of her.

"Yeah, just a little confused."

Elliot got up and walked over to her. "About us?"

"Yeah, I mean where do we stand?" Olivia asked turning to him and looking into his eyes dissolving his heart.

"I don't know where do you want to stand?" Elliot asked resting his lips on her forehead.

"Right here," Olivia said closing her eyes, and then started whispering, "I want to be us, but there is no way for us to do that and still have our careers."

"I'll transfer out," Elliot whispered back, "You're worth it."

Their eyes made contact in a powerful moment of truth. She was worth it, it was evident he was in love with her.

"Elliot, you can't just transfer out. You help so many people at SVU and…I don't think I can do it with out you." Olivia said getting choked up.

Elliot pulled her to his chest, "Okay, we'll figure it out."

She pulled away from him to look up at him, "How?"

"I don't know," Elliot whispered

His lips were so close to hers, that he could feel her breath against his lips. He jumped on his impulse to kiss her. He pressed his lips against hers with so much passion that when he let go for a second it left her gasping for breath. He was surprised when she dove back into his lips. She parted his lips with her smooth tongue.

Elliot never thought a kiss could feel this amazing and yet he wasn't dreaming. Somehow they stumbled back onto the bed. Olivia started to pull Elliot's wife beater up. Elliot had his hand on the smooth skin of her waist and moved it up closer to her bra.

They broke apart for a second in which time both of their shirts were discarded onto the white carpeting. Elliot has his hand in hers and was gently kissing her chest. When he got to where her skin ended and her bra began he sat up and found himself staring into her deep brown eyes.

He moved his hand across her chest to her back and kisses her cheek, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
