Simon woke up to an empty car and looked at his watch. 12:06
He came out of the car and put his shoes on and looked around for Olivia but she wasn't around. He put on his jeans and went to the lake to see if she might be there. He stopped in his tracks seeing her down to her bra and panties and lying on the ground under her clothes getting a tan.
He watched her and needed to remind himself to breath how beautiful she looked with her hair in a ponytail and her eyes were closed.
He quietly went behind her and sat down on a rock and just looked at her.
Olivia turned around on her stomach and unhooked her bra without opening her eyes.
Simon quickly got uncomfortable since he wouldn't like anyone looking at his sisters that way when they were at the beach. He got up to leave and give her some privacy but accidentally tripped and fell.
Olivia quickly looked up hearing noise and spotted Simon on the ground. She quickly hooked her bra and covered herself "What the hell are you doing?"
"I…I was just…just looking for you and…"
"And watching me?" She asked in a loud voice as she pulled on her t-shirt "I can't believe you"
"Olivia it's not like that, I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry" He quickly blurted out as he got off the ground.
"Stop looking at me!"
Simon quickly turned around "I'm sorry"
"Stop talking!" She yelled as she pulled her jeans on and grabbed her shoes in her hand. She walked past him angrily and shoved him away from her.
Simon buried his face in his hands and sat down on the ground thinking how stupid he could be.
Olivia took a deep breath and sat down on the hood of the car. She put on her shoes and went in the tent. She heard rustling around the tent and then it stopped. She quickly got scared and shook her head knowing the rapist only strikes at night.
She made a fist with one hand and opened the tent with her other hand. She looked around and no one was there. She looked down and spotted flowers. She smiled and took the note that was on top of the small bouquet 'I'm sorry'
She smiled and took the flowers and smelled them thinking how sweet it was that he would do something like that. She heard a car pull up close by. She put the flowers in the tent and then put the note in her pocket.
Marc and Frankie got out of the car and went over "Good morning" Marc said with a wave.
"Good morning" Olivia said as she got up and went over.
"Where's my partner?" Marc asked smiling.
"He should be around here," Olivia answered with a shrug.
Simon came from the lake and went to the car.
"Good morning" Marc said with a smile.
Simon ignored him and turned to Frankie "Anything new?"
"We have-" Marc started to answer but Simon cut him off.
"Frankie anything new?" Simon asked still ignoring his partner.
Frankie and Olivia looked back and forth at the two.
"What's your problem?" Marc asked raising an eyebrow.
Simon looked over at him "You are"
"What did I do?"
"You had no right to tell Olivia about Lindsay!" Simon yelled "I told you that in confidence!"
Marc rolled his eyes "Big deal, you dated a dyke so what?"
"What was that?"
"Stop being a jealous prick just cause Olivia likes me better!"
"Screw you Jacobson!"
Frankie stepped in between them so they wouldn't hit each other "Knock it off!"
"How's your mom Simon?" Marc asked smiling.
Simon looked at him and quickly tackled him to the ground and punched him. Frankie grabbed Simon and pulled him off. Olivia grabbed Marc and held him back.
"Get off of me!" Simon ordered. Frankie quickly let go of him. "I want a new partner"
"With pleasure" Marc answered as he pulled away from Olivia's grip.
"Fucking bastard" Simon mumbled as he walked away and went to the lake. Frankie quickly followed him.
Marc sat down on the log and wiped his lip. Olivia sat down by him "Are you ok?"
Marc nodded "Yea, thanks"
"Look Marc I don't think it's such a good idea that we go out after this case, I mean I don't want you and your partner to have problems because of me"
"Hey don't worry about that" Marc quickly assured her. "We do this all the time but we're ok"
"Are you sure?"
"Yea, don't worry. I want to take you on that date Olivia" He said with a smile.
Olivia thought for a second and shook her head "I'm sorry but I don't think it's a good idea"
"Why?"
"It's just that I live in New York and you live here, I'm sorry Marc" She said in a low voice. She wasn't going to tell him the truth which was she was starting to fall for his partner.
Marc looked angry and looked over at her "Is this because of Simon?"
"No, it's just not a good idea" She answered with a shrug.
"Whatever" He mumbled as he got out a file.
After a while of reviewing the things they needed to do tomorrow to catch their perp Frankie and Simon came back from the lake.
Simon and Marc kept ignoring each other as Frankie and Marc got in the car and drove off.
Simon sat down by Olivia and played with a small rock "I'm really sorry about earlier"
She nodded "Apology accepted and thanks for the flowers"
He smirked a little and nodded "Not a problem. So you nervous about tomorrow?"
"Being the bait you mean? Yea I'm sort of nervous"
"I won let anything happen I swear. I know we haven't been partners long and you might not trust me but I would appreciate it if you would trust me"
"You suck at forming sentences," Olivia teased smiling with a wink.
He smiled and nodded "I sort of get nervous around pretty girls"
"Yes you do" Olivia started to blush "And I do trust you"
"Thanks" He said with a nod.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"That remark about your mom hit you really bad why?"
"She's in the hospital and I sort of don't go and visit her as much as I should you know with the job and everything," He answered with a shrug "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure"
"When I asked you about your parents you tensed up right away, how come?"
"I never met my dad" Olivia answered shrugging "I actually don't know who he even is"
"That's not so bad, a lot of people don't know their parents"
Olivia nodded "I guess but I still feel somewhat ashamed you know?"
"Yea, my dad passed away when I was seven and when kids in school would talk about what they learned from their dads I would make things up cause I didn't want anyone to know. After awhile I just didn't talk to people"
"I'm sorry about that"
"Thanks"
They kept quiet for a little bit and just looked around.
"I'm going to go take a swim, want to come?" Simon asked as he got up.
"Maybe a little bit later" Olivia answered.
Simon nodded and went to the lake.
Olivia took out her cell phone and dialed Elliot's number.
"Stabler"
"Hey it's me"
"Hey how's camping going?"
"Well considering the circumstances, good. How are things over on the east?" Olivia asked smiling glad to hear her partner's voice.
"No cases thankfully. Munch told me a new theory want to hear it?"
"Oh god no I have a partner who is exactly like Munch" She got up and spotted Simon with his shirt off by the lake "Well not exactly"
"Oh is this the hot detective Casey told me about?"
Olivia rolled her eyes "Tell her to stop gossiping with men, only with me"
"You have a crush on him?"
"Elliot I don't remember you being a girl, I'm not telling you this"
"Fine be mean, I'll have Casey tell me all your secrets then"
"Loser. Say hi to everyone for me ok?"
"I will and say hi to your sexy temp partner, I'm your sexy partner forever"
Olivia smiled and rolled her eyes "You wish. Bye"
"Bye"
Olivia hung up her phone and walked over to the lake and saw Simon only in his boxers and doing laps in the lake.
He stopped when he saw her and motioned for her to come in. Olivia shook her head with a small smile.
"C'mon! The water is awesome" He called over.
"No, I'm fine" Olivia called back.
Simon swam over to her and walked out. Olivia tried to not look at his wet body but was finding herself wanting to touch his body at that moment.
"I know you don't want to me to throw you in again so please join me?" He asked as he did a puppy face.
Olivia grinned finding him adorable "You wouldn't"
Simon smiled and winked and took her hand.
"Don't mess with the cop" Olivia warned.
"You fell" Simon defended smirking as he pulled her.
"Fine just don't get my clothes wet again"
Simon nodded and went back into the water and started to do laps wanting to give her privacy to take her clothes off.
Olivia took her clothes off and threw them next to his and went in the water slowly in her bra and panties.
Simon swam over to her and stopped "Thank you for joining me"
"Sure, it's not like we have anything to do until night time" Olivia said and her mouth dropped realizing what she said.
Simon laughed "Night time? What are we going to do at night time?"
"Fire I mean" She quickly shook her head again not liking the way that sounded.
Simon burst out laughing "Fire? Wow ok then"
"Roast marshmallows!" Olivia finally yelled out.
Simon laughed "I guess you get confused around handsome men also"
Olivia blushed and smiled "Maybe"
"Do you have a crush on me detective?"
Olivia rolled her eyes and jumped on him and playfully drowned him. Simon picked her up by the waist and threw her in.
"I'll hurt you!" Olivia warned as she jumped on his back.
Simon laughed and swam down in the water with her. Olivia came back up and playfully kept him under the water. After a while she didn't feel him under her hand anymore. She quickly got concerned and started to look around.
Simon swam threw her legs so she didn't feel anything and popped out in front of her face to scare her. "Boo!"
Olivia let out a scream and without realizing it her arms were around his neck. Both of their bodies were pressed against each other's.
She just looked at him and slowly let her arms slide down his chest "Sorry" She whispered.
"It's ok," He whispered not moving from where he was.
Olivia let her hands stay on his waist and she just kept looking at him. Simon slowly put his hands to her waist and gently pulled her closer.
Olivia wrapped her arms around his neck again and pulled him closer. Simon leaned in to kiss her but she turned her face and he kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry I can't do this" Olivia whispered as she turned to look at him.
Simon moved back "Because of Marc?"
"No, because of me" Olivia whispered as she put her hands to herself.
"Olivia we're not really partners, we can't get in trouble for this" He whispered as he pulled her closer.
"I know Simon but I like you"
"I thought that was a good thing," he whispered smiling as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close.
"In this situation it's not"
He lightly put a strand of her soaked hair behind her ears "Why not?"
"Because I don't want to get attached and then have to go back to New York and never see you again"
He gave her a kiss on the cheek "You're right but I really like you Olivia Benson"
She nodded "I'm sorry," She whispered as she untangled his arms from her waist and walked away. She gathered all her clothes and went back to the tent.
Simon kept swimming and finally about half an hour later came back.
Olivia was sitting in dry clothes in the tent and playing a game on her phone trying to not think of the situation she got herself in. The situation where she knew she was falling in love with the man she barely knew and the man she wasn't going to see again.
Simon said nothing and changed from his wet boxers into dry ones and then just pulled on a pair of jeans and was shirtless.
Olivia tried not to look over at him but somehow he was making it harder for her by being shirtless.
Simon sat down on the log and pushed around the ashes from last nights fire with a branch "How come you became an SVU detective?"
Olivia looked over at him and almost felt like she could tell him because she just felt that connection with him "My mom got raped and nine months later I was born. You?"
"My baby sister got raped when she was 14 and got pregnant but then had an abortion," He answered quietly with a shrug.
"You ever find out who it was?"
"Yea" He nodded as he kept looking at the ground "My best friend, we were 18 at that time. You ever find your mom's rapist?"
"Leads but nothing promising" Olivia answered with a shrug.
"I'm sorry about that"
"Me too" Olivia said as she got up and went to the lake.
Simon got up, pulled on a t-shirt and followed her. Olivia was sitting on the rock and just looking at the lake. Simon sat down behind her making her in between his legs, he gently wrapped his arms around her stomach and held her.
Olivia leaned her head back and rested her head on his shoulder. "Thanks" She whispered as she looked over at him.
"For what?" He whispered looking into her eyes.
"For being here with me," She whispered as she brought her hand up to the back of his neck and met his lips with hers.
Simon held her closer and kissed her back. Olivia completely melted with how gentle his lips were and how gently he kissed her.
Olivia gently broke the kiss as she opened her eyes. "Wow"
"Agreed" He whispered with a small smile as he opened his eyes.
"I'm going back to the tent," She whispered as she got up from him and walked away.
Simon smirked and followed her. He came in the tent and lay down by her.
"Just kissing" Olivia whispered as she looked over at him "Considering why we are here I don't feel right having sex…here at least"
Simon nodded and placed his hand on her waist and playfully brushed his lips against hers. Olivia placed her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him closer. Both of their free hands holding each other's as they kissed.
Before they even realized it became dark outside during their making out.
Olivia broke the kiss "It's night already" She whispered against his lips.
Simon looked outside and nodded "Want me to go make a fire?"
"Yea" She whispered with a nod.
Simon nodded and got out of the tent and went over to where they made the fire "Hey I'm going to go get some branches, want to come with?"
"No, I'll wait here" Olivia answered as she stretched.
"I'll be right back" Simon grabbed the flashlight and headed into the woods.
Olivia came out and sat on the log and looked up at the full moon and smiled. Even though she knew she had to leave Monday she was still enjoying being with Simon.
She felt a small rustling behind her and figured it was Simon since she already figured out he was very clumsy especially for a detective.
She felt an arm wrap around her neck. She turned around and a masked man was standing behind her. He placed his hand over her mouth before she had a chance to scream.
He punched her and dragged her into the tent. Olivia was in such shock and fear that nothing came out when she opened her mouth to yell for Simon.
The stranger pinned her arms down as he sat down on her.
Olivia struggled to get free but he was too strong for her. "No" She whispered as tears rolled down her face. She couldn't scream since she was terrified at that point.
"You shouldn't have gotten me mad" The stranger said. His voice was rough and deep "You belong to me"
"How did I get you mad?" Olivia asked as she kept struggling to get her hands free.
"You betrayed my love"
"Go to hell!" Olivia yelled. She knew that most rapists felt attached to their victims in a sick sort of way, little did she know that wasn't the case in this situation.
All of a sudden she saw the rapist get pulled off of her. She looked up and saw Simon.
The rapist hit him and got up and started to run. Simon wiped his lip and chased right after him into the woods.
Olivia grabbed her cell phone and called the captian of the California SVU team.
Simon jumped over a branch but the rapist tripped and fell.
Simon grabbed him and punched him. The rapist punched him back and pushed him off. He got up again and started to run and fell right into the lake.
Simon jumped on him and both fell in the lake. Simon grabbed his mask and pulled it off. He stopped and just looked into the eyes of the rapist. He was looking into the eyes of his partner "Marc?"
"Can get all the fun Simon" Marc said snickering and punched Simon in the stomach.
Simon grabbed him by the hair and stuck his head under the water. He kicked him in the stomach to get all the air out of his lungs. He just stood there as Marc struggled under the water. He was planning to kill him even if he knew he would get in serious trouble for killing a cop.
