I officially love my job! I basically get paid to hang out with little kids, it's freaking amazing. I just got off work, so I'll start an update. I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving Thursday had a fabulous time. Mine was fantastic, but that's a story for another time. Story time
John and Elliot headed off to John's to clean up a little bit and make some more room for Casey. Olivia was left at the hospital to help Casey through all the paper work.
"So, John and you are like living together..." Olivia said without looking up from her clipboard of paper work.
"I know. So much for taking it slow huh?" Casey was working hard on her paperwork; she didn't want to spend a minute more than necessary in the hospital. She already feared she smelled like sick people and John was going to throw her out.
"You guys don't have to have sex you know." Olivia said, she couldn't fill out the paperwork as fast as Casey but she liked to think she was keeping pace.
"Yeah, but I suck at saying no." Casey sighed heavily. She paused for a second before going back to her papers.
"Cragen would agree." Olivia started to laugh but stopped when she felt Casey push her back.
"I'm finished." Casey put the clipboard down on the table and stood up. She had gotten out of bed that morning and lost her balance, Olivia found it hilarious and Casey complained that she had a broken hip.
"I'm almost done too." Olivia flipped through her remaining four pages, yeah almost done.
Casey sat back down and began to tap her foot impatiently. Ten minutes after Casey had finished, Olivia finished. Casey was ready to get out of the hospital.
"What if I choke on the oxygen?" Casey questioned anxiously as they got closer to the doors.
"Than I'll leave you there for someone else to find. You're not my problem anymore." Olivia said sarcastically.
"I know who not to call if I ever fall and break my hip." Casey mumbled as the two approached the doors.
Olivia and Casey spotted Elliot's car which was parked a couple hundred yards away. The two walked over to the car and Elliot unlocked the doors. Casey pushed Olivia out of the way and climbed into the front seat than stuck her tongue out at Olivia who climbed into the back seat.
The ride was quiet except for the radio which was playing oldies. Oldies were Olivia's guilty pleasure. She listened to them over popular music anytime. The ride was quick considering the usual amount of New York traffic. The car stopped in front of Munch's apartment building and Casey sighed heavily.
"Do you want me to go up with you?" Olivia asked quietly from the back seat. She had only seen Munch's apartment once, four years ago.
"No, I'll call you later." Casey opened the car door and Olivia climbed out of the back seat. The two shared a quick hug and Casey walked towards the building. Olivia watched her walk in and than climbed into the front seat.
She starred at the door which was now closed than looked over at Elliot. "Hey." Olivia whispered quietly.
"Hey." Elliot whispered back. He moved his hand from the gear shift to Olivia's knee. The skin underneath her jeans tingled when she sensed his touch.
"Where are we off to?" Olivia asked and turned her head towards Elliot.
"Where would you like to go?" Elliot also turned his head so he was facing Olivia.
"Doesn't matter, as long as your there." Olivia smiled. Elliot leaned in and put his lips against hers. "I love you Olivia."
Olivia pulled back and smiled. "I love you too."
Elliot moved his hand back to the gearshift. He pulled the car into park and moved back onto the road. They drove right past Elliot's building and Olivia was confused.
"Where are we going?" Olivia questioned.
"It's a surprise. Close your eyes and don't peek like you usually would." Elliot looked over at Olivia quickly and than looked back to the road.
After an hour of driving, Olivia had fallen asleep in the front seat. Elliot put the car into park and reached over and shook Olivia shoulder gently. "Liv... babe. Wake up."
"Mmm... where are we?" Olivia stretched out slightly and blinked her eyes a few times. She looked around and didn't see any buildings or even stop lights for that matter. She was really confused. She saw leaves all over the ground and a lot of trees and open fields. They were definitely not in New York City anymore.
"We're at this little bed and breakfast. I made some calls and figured we could both use some time away from everything." By everything, Elliot meant Jonathan but he didn't want to upset Olivia.
"You never cease to amaze me." Olivia leaned over and kissed Elliot's check. "Have you been here before?"
"No. I saw an ad for it in the paper and called up here to see if they had any openings, they did so I figured we could come up here." Elliot smiled.
"That's so sweet. Let's go check this place." Olivia opened the door. "Did you bring any different clothes?"
"We aren't going to need clothes..." Elliot said quietly as he climbed out of the driver's side door.
"You're such a man." Olivia rolled her eyes and climbed out of the passenger side door.
"I did bring clothes though; I factored in the rejection aspect." Elliot smiled as he popped open the trunk of his Honda CR-V. He had just bought it a few months back. Olivia walked to the back of the car and saw four suitcases.
"How much clothing are we going to need?" Olivia questioned as she picked up one of the bags.
"Well... we're staying for a week." Elliot said quietly as he walked to the back of the car to help Olivia carry the bags.
"Really? This is so exciting." Olivia had two suitcases, one in each hand. Elliot grabbed the other two and shut the back of the car. They walked up to the doors of the bed and breakfast. Once they were inside, it was a quaint little house with a lot of floral wallpaper. It was tacky but it looked friendly.
Elliot walked to the desk and checked in while Olivia looked at some of the decorations on the walls. She felt as though she was trapped in the 1800s. She hoped they had a hot water heater, or at least electricity. Olivia was beginning to get lost in her thought when she felt a hand on the small of her back. Olivia quickly spun around and was face to face with Elliot.
"Want to go upstairs?" Elliot picked up the rest of the bags and carried them up the stairs. They were room number seven, right next to the honeymoon suite. Elliot put the key into the lock and turned it. The door opened and the room was exposed. The walls were a light orange with a hard wood floor. There was a queen sized bed on one side of the room, a twenty inch television in front of the bed, and a couch across the room.
"It's nice." Olivia said as she walked over to the bed. She jumped onto it and laid back on the pillows. When she lifted her head, Elliot was no where to be seen. "Elliot?"
"I'm in the bathroom. Come check this out." Elliot shouted from the next room.
Olivia got up slowly and walked to the bathroom. She walked in and her jaw dropped. There was a whirlpool bathtub on one side of the bathroom. The toilet, sink, and shower were all located on the other side. "Look at that tub." Elliot said quietly.
"I thought this place was going to have gas lamps and well water. I'm impressed." Olivia said from the doorway. "Elliot, you have to check out the bed."
"Gosh Liv. I thought we could at least wait till the sun went down." Elliot joked. Olivia's eyes got wide and her mouth dropped. She walked over and slapped Elliot's chest.
"I can't believe you just said that." Olivia started laughing. Elliot put his hands on her hips and waited for her to regain her composure. After a few seconds Olivia realized Elliot's hands were on her hips. She lifted her head and looked up at Elliot who was starring into her eyes. Olivia shifted uncomfortably and put her arms around Elliot's neck.
Elliot leaned down and began to whisper in Olivia's ear. "You know I really love you right?"
Olivia laughed slightly and put her head on Elliot's chest. "I know you do. I love you too." Olivia looked back into Elliot's eyes and smiled. Elliot moved one of his hands off of Olivia's hip and onto her face. He gently pushed a piece of hair off her face.
Olivia grabbed his hand and moved it back to her hip. Olivia leaned up and her lips collided with Elliot's. Olivia moved her hands to the back of his head to deepen the kiss. Elliot pushed her back on the sink and Olivia planted her feet on the ground and lifted herself so she was sitting on the sink. Elliot moved his hand up and down the side of Olivia's thigh. Olivia had moved her wrist to the sides of her and one began to slide back.
"AHHH COLD!" Olivia jumped up suddenly.
Elliot starred at her with a confused look on his face. "Look at my ass." Elliot was even more confused but looked anyway. There was a big wet spot on one side of Olivia's jeans.
Elliot looked down and saw that the faucet had been turned on. He laughed and reached down to turn it off. Olivia was laughing too. "I'm going to go change; the moment's pretty dead now." Olivia disappeared into the other room. Elliot sighed heavily and shut the door to the rest of the hotel room.
Fifteen minutes, Elliot reappeared and found Olivia sprawled out in bed wearing running shorts and a t-shirt. The TV was turned on to the news. Elliot walked over and sat beside Olivia on the bed.
"Technical difficulties?" Olivia teased without taking her eyes off the TV.
"Ha-ha, you're funny." Elliot moved his hand to Olivia's stomach.
Olivia's entire body began to tingle. She smiled quickly but than returned to her normal expression. She heard her cell phone vibrating on the night stand. Olivia sat up. "It's Casey. Hold that thought babe." Olivia grabbed her phone and leaned in to kiss Elliot on the cheek. Olivia pulled away and ran to the bathroom.
"And the Emmy for worst timing goes to Casey Novak." Olivia said quietly as she shut the bathroom door behind her.
"Sorry, was I interrupting?" Casey said innocently into the phone.
"Just a little bit. What's going on?" Olivia put the toilet seat down and sat down.
"John just ran out to pick up some food. Where are you staying?" Casey questioned.
"Some bed and breakfast about an hour outside of the city. We're staying for a week." Olivia said quietly. She didn't want Elliot to hear her.
"Oh boy. Are you two finally going to get it on?" Casey said in an awkward voice.
"Is voice changing?" Olivia teased.
"You're so going to. I know you too well Olivia." Casey said.
"If we do, you're the first call... a few hours later. I promise." Olivia whispered into the phone.
"Yeah, I hope you'd wait a few hours and not call me during. I'll hold you to that promise." Casey said. "If I was there, we'd be shaking pinkies."
Olivia rolled her eyes. "Well I'm going to go back outside."
"Be safe. I don't need Benson/Stabler babies running around." Casey teased.
"I'm hanging up now." Olivia said.
"Ride 'em cowgirl." Casey said with a country accent.
"Oh my gosh Casey. I'm going. Goodbye." Olivia said quickly and flipped the phone shut. She shook her head and laughed quietly. She sat on the toilet for a few more seconds before she stood up and headed back to the bedroom.
