" Olivia, what the hell are you doing here?" Elliot asked, shocked, getting up.
Olivia half laughed, half sighed.
" I've been gone for nearly 2 months, and this is the reception I get?" she shook her head.
Dani stood up as well.
" Hey I'm sorry," Elliot replied, giving her a half-hearted hug.
She did not return it, and they broke away awkwardly.
Olivia motioned toward Dani,
" Who's the blonde?"
Dani scowled, but stuck out her hand.
" I'm Dani Beck, Elliot's partner," she smirked, adding to the tension.
Elliot shifted uncomfortably.
Olivia nodded once again, and looked up at Elliot. She stuck her hands up, palms facing upward, and moved her head toward Elliot, expecting him to say something. When he did not she frowned.
" So this is it?" she shook her head.
Elliot scrunched up his face; he had no idea what to say.
" I come back to this?" she continued.
" Um, I'm not really sure how this is your business, ms," Dani arched her eyebrows.
" Ok first of all, shut the hell up, and second, it's Olivia, not ms," Olivia snapped.
Dani put up her hands in a defensive position.
" Hey, Liv, calm down," Elliot crossed his arms across his chest. " She didn't do anything."
" You're right," Olivia sighed, trying to smile at Beck. " It's completely your fault, Elliot."
And with that she turned, and headed out the door.
EOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOEO
Elliot told Dani to stay put, and rushed after Olivia.
" Liv why are you so angry?" Elliot asked, grabbing her wrist as she walked down the pathway towards her car.
She turned around outraged.
" Why am I so angry?!?!" she gasped. " You figure it out."
Elliot scowled, and chased after her.
" Olivia, why don't you just tell me? If you're upset about Dani I'm sorry, she's my girlfriend. Deal with it!" he exclaimed, as she turned once again to look at him.
" Deal with it?" Olivia whispered furiously. " Ok Elliot, you're right I'm sorry," Olivia lied, and tried to give him the best hug she could. She blinked back her tears with all her might. " I just didn't expect to come back you and… that's all."
" It's all right," Elliot smiled, oblivious to the way she was lying.
Olivia smiled once again, and finished her trip to her car.
It's all right? The nerve of this guy, she thought angrily. The hell with him, she decided, and drove off in a huff.
