Elliot made his way up to his partner's apartment. He couldn't help the smile on his face, which was now ear to ear. He was looking forward to the assignment, spending some alone time with his partner.
Olivia on the other hand was a nervous wreck! "What do I pack? What about pajama's?" she said out loud to her self. Her mind was going crazy; she didn't know how she was going to handle pretending to be Elliot's wife without giving her true feelings away. She loved Elliot, she knew that. However she wasn't sure on what kind of love it was. As a friend? As a partner? As a lover? She plopped herself on her bed and gave a nervous groan. She had had this conversation with herself over and over until it drove her crazy. Just then she heard the knock on the door. She jumped up like a little school girl! He's Here! He's Here! She thought.
She walked to the door trying to hide her enormous grin.
"All packed?" Elliot asked.
"Um…almost, just a few more things." She said as she ran back to her room to finish packing.
"What's in the glass?" Elliot yelled at his partner, as he picked up a glass from her counter and took a sip.
"Apple Juice," she called out.
Elliot paced her apartment, he had been here many times, but today it felt different and he didn't know why. He looked a photo of Olivia and her mother. God she was beautiful, look at that dress, and that body….
"Ok all done." Olivia said as she walked out of her bedroom and saw Elliot holding the photo of her and her mother.
"Still my favorite pic." Elliot said with a smile as he gave Olivia a hand with her bags.
"Mine too." She said with grin.
Eoeoeoeoeoeoeoeo
They got in the Sedan and headed for the highway. Both of them equally nervous, but not daring to let the other know.
"So, we're just an old married couple." Elliot said as he put his hand on her thigh.
"Watch it El," She laughed out, as he removed his hand.
"Hey we're going under cover here; we have to make this look real. Husbands put there hands on there wives thigh. You're going to have to get used to it."
"I am?" Olivia asked being a smart ass.
"You are." he replied with that smile that drove her crazy.
This is going to be harder then I thought…but then again it will be fun. If I can't have him in my real life, why not in my 'fake' life, she thought.
Eoeoeoeoeoeoeoeo
They arrived at the hotel, the place where the seminar was being held. They walked up to the front desk.
"Reservation for the Stabler's." He said to the receptionist as he pulled Olivia close to him and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Olivia felt her insides become warm and tingly, she could get used to this she thought.
"Room 420, here are your keys, and your itinerary for the seminar. Thanks and have a great stay." The receptionist said.
"Oh we will, don't you worry about that," He said as he kissed Olivia on the cheek.
They unpacked there bags and sat on the bed.
"So what time does this thing start?" Elliot asked Olivia who was looking through the Seminar information.
"Well, we have the meet and greet in about 30 minutes. Then dinner to follow."
"You think the perp will show up?" Elliot asked
"Not sure, He might so he can get a reading on his next potential vics. The meet and greet would be the best place to start."
"You're so smart, I love that about you." Elliot said, the moment it left his lips he couldn't believe he said it. He felt his face get red.
"Well I'm going to jump in the shower real fast." He said to take away the awkward pause.
As Elliot was in the shower Olivia took a look at herself in the mirror, ug! She thought! Riding in a car did not do me justice! She opened up her makeup bag and starting doing damage control.
When Elliot returned to the room he smelled wonderful. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Oh shit! She thought, was I starring too long?!! She quickly looked away.
"Ready? She asked
"Yup, good to go." He replied with a devilish look on his face,
They started heading for the door--"Wait!" Elliot gasped
"What?" Olivia asked very confused.
Just then Elliot got down on one knee and held out the ring that the captain gave him, "Olivia Benson-Will you marry me?"
'Why, Elliot I thought you would never ask," She said sarcastically as she held out her hand.
When Elliot put that ring on her finger a bolt of lighting went through his body, Jesus he thought, I wonder if she felt that?
He stood up and with that they were out the door.
