Here's the next chapter! Hope everyone enjoys it and please review!
Olivia's alarm started going off at eight am. She quickly turned off the irritating sound but, didn't get out of bed.
Andy rolled over and looked at her. "What time is it?"
"Eight. What time do you have to be up?"
"I'm off today," he answered.
"You're probably still going into work anyway," she said, bitterly.
"Olivia, I'm too tired to do this now," he said then rolled back the other side.
"We wouldn't have to do this if you would just come home on time."
"You, of all people, should understand my job. Don't act like you never work late."
"I don't 'work' late every damn day, Andy. I can't remember once in the past two weeks where you came home on time." She put air quotes up as she said work.
He turned back to face her. "What is it that you think I'm doing? I'm at work, obviously working," he said, raising his voice.
She sighed. "How do I know that? How do I know you're not out doing other things?" she asked a little nervous. She didn't want to bring up that she felt he might be cheating on her. Of course, she wants to know but, she was scared that it would start another fight.
"Are you serious? I can't even believe that you would think that, Olivia."
"That's how I feel every time you come home late. I know that something's going on." She got out of bed and went into the bathroom to shower.
She stepped in the shower and let the hot water run down her body.
Maybe he wasn't being unfaithful. Maybe she was overreacting but, she can't help how she feels.
When her shower was finished, she got dressed and fixed her hair quickly. Andy was lying in bed but, wasn't sleeping. He kept looking at Olivia, only to have her ignore him.
Before she left the room he called out, "have a good day."
"Not a chance," she mumbled back.
Olivia walked into the squad room and sat at her desk, across from Elliot.
He could tell she was in a bad mood by the scowl on her face. "Good morning," he tried.
"Morning," she mumbled.
"What's with you?" he asked, curiously.
"Nothing, I'm fine."
He nodded. "Another fight with Andy?"
She looked up, shocked that he could read her mind. "Something like that," she answered back.
He nodded and kept quiet, seeing that she didn't want to talk about it.
"Olivia, Elliot, we got a victim in Mercy hospital. Get her statement," Cragen said and went back inside his office.
They stood up and put on their coats then headed to the hospital.
They took the victim's statement and didn't get much information. She was knocked unconscious when the perp raped her.
They started driving back to the precinct when Olivia's phone started ringing. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Andy so she hit ignore. She didn't want to fight with him in front of Elliot.
Elliot knew that it was Andy but, he didn't say anything. He didn't want to be on his partner's bad side. He's been there a lot of times throughout the years and it's not a good place to be.
Her phone started going off again. She knew he wasn't going to stop calling until she answered. He's just as stubborn as she is.
"Hello…I'm at work, I can't talk right now…I'll call you later…I don't know…I have to go…bye." She hung up and sighed.
"Is everything okay?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah," she answered.
Andy called because he wanted to take her out to lunch and talk. Although, she really wanted to go and talk to him, she was scared. She was scared to fight with him and she was scared to find out if he really did cheat on her.
They worked on their new case all day until they were at a dead end. They couldn't get any information on the perp so they knew they weren't getting anywhere today.
It was seven when Cragen let them go home.
Olivia packed up her stuff and headed home. She hoped that Andy wasn't home because she never called him back and she didn't want to get into a fight tonight. She didn't want to deal with him tonight.
She walked into their house and into their bedroom. After changing out of her work clothes, she walked into the kitchen and instantly saw the table full of candles and her favorite foods. Then she saw Andy with a bottle of wine in his hand.
"What's all this?" she asked in awe.
"An apology dinner. I know I haven't been around for the past couple of weeks and I'm really sorry. I just wanted to do something nice for you to show you that I love you."
She smiled and went over to him. "You sure know how to get to a women's heart. Food," she said then kissed him.
"Well I know that's the way to your heart, babe. Sit down and I'll fix you a plate."
She did as was told and he set a plate of food in front of her, as well as a glass of wine. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." He fixed a plate for himself and sat across from her.
She took a bite and smiled. "It's delicious."
"Thanks. So I thought you were going to call me back today?" he asked.
She looked at him and didn't know if he was angry or not. "We were busy. I'm sorry."
"No it's fine. I was just waiting around for your call. I really wanted to take you out to lunch so we could talk."
"Talk about what?" she asked.
"About our relationship. I just wanted to apologize for not being around and I just want to spend more time with you."
She nodded and smiled at him. "Well I'm glad because I want to spend more time with you too."
"It's a deal then." He smiled and kissed her hand.
