Disclaimer: Well, I think we already established this. Only in my dreams are they mine, and let me tell you, my dreams are FANTASTIC!!

A/N: Wow, guys, thanks for the reviews! I got more for that first chapter than I have for a few of my stories. I am glad you like it! Some of you mentioned that the kiss on the cheek may have been a little 'fast' but it was an innocent 'nice to meet you' kiss. Believe me, they aren't going to be reckless.

First Date

"Man, calm down. You are going to put a hole in the carpet," Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola warned his roommate.

"I am just so nervous Fin. I have never been that forward before, and I don't want to screw this up. I really like her," Elliot countered. He had been pacing the length of their dorm room for the last half hour. He was going to leave to pick up Olivia in fifteen minutes and his hands were shaking.

"I know you do. You haven't stopped talking about her since you got back. That was six hours ago."

"Sorry."

"Just relax, have a good time, and see where the evening takes you. Don't really go in with any expectations, just go with the flow."

"Easy for you to say, you have a steady girlfriend. I never really have."

Fin shook his head and glanced at the clock, "You should leave now, unless you want to be late."

"I'm going. See ya later Fin."

"Bye Elliot," Elliot heard Fin yell as he left the dorm and walked towards the stairs.

Meanwhile . . .

"What do you think about this one?" Olivia asked her roommate, Alexandra 'Alex' Cabot.

"It looks good, just like the other twelve outfits you have tried on," she answered with an eye roll.

"I just don't want to make a bad impression. I really like him so far and I don't want this to end badly."

"It wont, trust me."

"I do. I do. So, this really looks okay? Do I need to do something else with my hair?"

"No, your hair looks fine. Plus, it is ten to seven; he will be here soon, so we don't have time to change your clothes and hair again."

"Okay. I get it."

Alex looked at Olivia, "You are a fun, smart and great girl. There is no way that this isn't going to go well, and if he doesn't want to see you again, then it is his loss. Don't be nervous, just let him lead the evening and make up your mind about another date when that time comes."

Olivia nodded. She glanced at the clock and noticed that it was exactly seven. Just then she heard a knock at the door, "Wow, he is punctual."

"That is always a good sign. Have fun and I want details later!"

Olivia laughed as she walked towards the door, "Whatever! Don't wait up for me!"

She opened the door and saw Elliot standing there in nice khaki pants and a blue button up shirt. His sleeves were rolled up and he had a shy smile on his face.

"Hi, are you ready to go?" he asked her.

"Yes, I am," she walked out the door and they walked to the stairs.

"You look nice Olivia."

Olivia blushed, "Thanks. You look good as well. That shirt really matches your eyes."

Elliot smiled, "I didn't even notice. I guess I will have to wear it more often."

"Good idea. So where are we going to eat?"

"Well, after we parted ways this afternoon, I walked around the town nearby and saw this nice little Italian restaurant. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, that's perfect."

"Good."

They walked to the restaurant. They sat in a small corner booth in the back of the restaurant. The table had a nice white table cloth and a small vase with a single rose placed at the end of it. There was soft classical music being played from the speakers in the ceiling and the lighting was just a small light fixture about each table.

"Elliot, this place is so beautiful. I love it."

"I am so glad."

They looked over the menus and placed their drink and food orders at the same time, when the waiter found his way to them. After about twenty minutes of small get-to-know-you talk, their food was brought to the table. Olivia had ordered the Pasta Primavera and Elliot got the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo.

"So, you said earlier that you were from the city. What part?" Olivia asked Elliot.

"Queens; what about you? Where are you from?"

"Actually, Manhattan. I have lived there my entire life. I came up here for school to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for awhile."

"I know what you mean. I didn't live in the middle of the city, but I needed to get away from my family for awhile. Two brothers and three sisters will do that to ya."

"Wow, you have five siblings? I wish I had one, I am an only child."

"Oh, believe me, it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes I wish that I was an only child," Elliot said with a little laugh.

"Well, I can still wonder what it would have been like."

Elliot nodded. The check was placed on the table and Elliot paid it. They left the restaurant and just walked around the small town. They learned so much about each other.

I really want to see her again. I hope she likes me too. Elliot thought.

I hope he asks me for a second date. He is really sweet. Olivia thought.

At round eleven Elliot and Olivia were outside of her door. "I had a really nice time," Olivia said to him.

"So did I. Do you think we could do this again sometime?"

Olivia smiled, "I would like that very much."

"Good," numbers were exchanged and programmed into cell phones, "Well, have a great night Olivia, I'll call you." Elliot gave her a small hug and another short kiss on the cheek.

"Bye Elliot, I look forward to seeing you again," Olivia said as he pulled away.

"Bye Olivia." Elliot walked down the hall and out of the building.

Olivia's Dorm . . .

"He is so sweet Alex. He didn't try to kiss me, he just gave me a kiss on the cheek. I think that this is going to work out so well."

"You look happy. So, you think this could be it for the long haul?"

"I am happy, and I really don't know, but I can already tell that I would like for it to last a while."

Elliot's Dorm . . .

"I can't wait to see her again Fin. I think she could be the one."

"Wow, Elliot. You know that after one date? I am happy for ya, bro."

"Thanks, me too."
