Thanks for the great response to the first Chapter. I love doing these short stories like this.
I know I said this was only going to be two chapters however it kind of grew and now it will be three.
Hope you all enjoy this one as much as the first.
Chapter 2
"The kids must all be in bed," Elliot said quietly as he took his coat off and walked over to the kitchen area."Can I get you anything?" he asked her opening the fridge and looking inside, finding the left over pizza and pasta.
"No I'm good thanks," she said as she took her own coat off and walked over towards the fireplace. She looked down at the glass of milk, plate of cookies and a bunch of carrots. Propped up behind them was a letter addressed to Santa. Elliot came up behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"That's about the fourth letter he has done for Santa," he told her.
"It's so cute," she smiled as Elliot pulled her closer to him.
"I'm so happy that you're here," he said kissing the side of her head.
"I guess we have your kids to thank for that."
"Yeah….. I can't believe they are all in bed, they are gonna be so happy to see you in the morning. They will probably go mad because I didn't wake them and tell them."
They stood for a while just looking into the fire the sound of the crackling flames the only sound filling the room.
"So you want to help me do my Santa duties?" he asked her."Before we got bed."
Olivia turned her head to him and raised an eyebrow smirking."Before we go to bed?" she asked.
"No…. I mean…Shit… Liv I didn't mean that, I just meant….Like….. I mean…. You can have my bed, I will…"
She put her fingers to his lips to stop him talking. "El I didn't fly all this way to this freezing little town to sleep alone tonight. I may have freaked out a little outside in the truck, but that had to happen at some point," she told him, smiling at his shocked face. "So let's play Santa and go to bed."
Elliot swallowed hard and nodded his head."Erm, yeah okay," he grinned. "I will just go and get the presents," he said rushing away and down the corridor at the other side of the cabin.
Olivia walked over to the large Christmas tree and looked at the decorations. She smiled as she reached up and touched the home made ones that Eli had obviously made. She couldn't remember the last time she had put up a tree, it just never seemed worth it when she was at home alone, and at work for most the holidays. She had always envied Elliot a little when he would get excited about the holiday season.
"First load," he said quietly as he came back in the room with two large sacks and put them down next to her. "You start unloading these and I will get the other stuff."
She nodded and started to pull the gifts out the bags and placed them under the tree in five separate little piles for each of the kids. Noticing how Eli seemed to have a lot more than the older kids.
"Shit," she cursed as she looked at the name tag on one of the presents.
"What's up?" asked Elliot putting a sled down next to the pile for Eli.
"I don't have anything for the kids….. Or you," she said. "I just, I didn't even think."
"You being here is enough," he smiled. "And if it makes you feel any better, I don't have you anything either," he said taking the present from her and putting it in Maureen's pile.
"Now stop worrying get unpacking," he told her nodding down at the sacks as he disappeared again.
When he came back this time he had four snowboards under his arms, one each for the older kids.
"That's it all," he smiled placing them behind the piles of presents. "Now for the next job," he said reaching into his jeans pocket and taking out some glitter. "Magic Santa dust," he told her as he sprinkled it on the floor around the presents then walked backwards towards the fireplace leaving a trail right up to the flames and around the milk and cookies.
He picked up the carrots and walked over to the front door. "Back in a sec," he told her opening the door and going outside. He came back a few seconds later minus the carrots. "Something wild out there will eat them," he grinned as he walked back to the fire to get warm. He picked up the milk and drank half the glass before putting it back down then picked up the plate of cooking and handed one to Olivia.
"Don't forget to drop crumbs," he told her as they both ate one cookie each dropping crumbs on the floor next to the glass of milk. Elliot put the other cookie down after eating half of it. "All done," he said looking around the room, and then taking hold of her hand. "You erm… You ready for bed now?"
"Yeah, she nodded. "I'm actually really tired after today. It's been long and emotional."
"I meant what I said earlier," he said cupping her face. "I can sleep out here if you want."
"I don't want," she told him. "Now take me to bed Santa."
Elliot turned from her and put up the fire guard and picked up Eli's letter to Santa. "Best not forget this," he said holding up the letter and putting it into his pocket, before taking her hand and leading her across the room. He turned off the lights leaving only the tree lights on and led her down the corridor to the last door before the stairs.
He reached for the handle as Olivia moved in and stood behind him wrapping her arms around his waist.
"When I woke up this morning, I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be sleeping next to you tonight."
"That makes two of us," he said pushing the door open and taking her hand he led her in closing the door behind them.
The room was lit only by the glow of the fire, the dark wood furniture making it feel warm and cosy. Elliot let go of hand and walked over to the window and pulled the curtains closed. Olivia stood by the door not moving as he went to the drawers and opened the bottom one and pulled out a large t-shirt.
"Will this do for you to sleep in?" he asked her handing her the top.
"Yeah…. Thanks," she said taking it from him. She could tell he was a nervous as she was.
"The bathroom is just through that door," he said pointing to another door. "There are clean towels in there already.
"Do you mind if I take a quick shower?"
"Of course not, there should be a spare toothbrush in there as well."
"Okay thanks," she said turning away from him and heading into the bathroom.
As soon as the door shut Elliot looked around the room and quickly ran to the bed pulling the blankets off and sheets, stripping the bed completely. He then got out clean bedding and made it back up again as quick as he could. He stepped back and looked at the bed and took a deep breath.
"Okay….Calm down," he said under his breath and looked around the room making sure everything else was okay as he heard the shower turn off.
"Shit," he cursed going to the drawers and pulling out a pair of sweatpants and changed into them. He normally slept in just boxers but he didn't want to push things with Olivia by taking things to quick. "You can do this, it's just Liv," he said sitting on the bottom of the bed. "You're just going to share a bed with the woman you have dreamt about for years, what you got to worry about," he chuckled to himself.
He jumped up as the bathroom door opened and Olivia walked out.
"Thanks," she smiled. "Feel a lot better now."
"Is the t-shirt okay?" he asked her.
"Yeah it's fine," she told him as she watched Elliot's eyes look over her body.
"You're telling me its fine," he said under his breath as his eyes looked at her long legs and he licked his lips as his eyes got higher and locked onto her face. She looked beautiful, her hair was still wet and she had no make-up on, she looked so perfect.
Olivia couldn't help but smile at his reaction.
"I'm erm….. I'm just going to use the bathroom," he mumbled as she walked past him towards the bed.
"El," she said stopping him at the door way. "Which side can I have?" she asked looking at the bed.
Elliot turned and faced her smirking.
"Any, I sleep in the middle normally."
"Hmmm funny that," she smirked back. "Me too, so it might be a bit of a squash."
"Jesus," he whispered as he felt a stirring in his groin and went into the bathroom closing the door behind him.
Olivia looked around the bedroom and slowly walked around the bed. There were a few personal items on the top of the drawers and that was it. She sat on the edge of the bed and put her phone down and picked up the photo on the top of bedside table and smiled at it. It was a recent photo of all five kids pulling funny faces. She put it down and turned around to look at the photo on the other side. She reached across the bed lying on her stomach and picked it up. It was a photo of her and Elliot when they got their promotion years ago. They were in a bar still wearing their dress uniforms and they both looked a little drunk. She smiled as she remembered how pissed off Kathy was when she had to carry him out of the bar and put him in a taxi later that night.
She put the photo down and pulled the blankets back and slipped under them, sighing at how comfy the bed was. She shuffled over to the side of the bed with the photo of the kids, and laid her head back closing her eyes.
She jumped when both the bathroom door opened and her phone rang. She quickly picked it up and answered it.
"Hey Don… Yeah I got here okay, sorry I should have called you…..Yeah… Yes everything is fine….No I'm not just saying that, I mean it this time….." she looked at Elliot when she heard him chuckling.
"Yes I know I always say I'm fine, but I do mean it this time…..Jesus, no I didn't kick him in the balls," she said unable to hide the grin at the look on Elliot's face. "No I didn't get booked into a hotel, I'm err, I'm staying with Elliot…. I will and thank You Don, for everything," she said hanging up.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah, he was just checking everything was okay and I hadn't put you in hospital," she told him as he added some more wood to the fire.
"That should keep it going till the morning," he said turning back to the bed and walking around to the other side. "You sure your okay with this?"
"I'm sure," she told him pulling the blankets back. Elliot went to climb still wearing his sweatpants and t-shirt. "El is that how you normally go to bed?" she asked him.
"What do you mean?"
"Sweatpants and t-shirt."
"Not normally, no," he laughed."But I didn't want to….."
"Take them off," she interrupted him. "Your not going to be comfy and sleep otherwise."
Elliot never spoke as he reached for the bottom of his t-shirt and slowly pulled it over his head and threw it across the room onto a chair. Olivia bit on her bottom lip as she raked her eyes over his body, the man was like a freak of nature, and He was perfectly toned in all the right places. Olivia felt a dull throb between her legs as he pushed his sweatpants down and kicked them away, leaving him in only a pair of boxers.
Elliot climbed into bed and lay on his back staring up at the ceiling and he felt Olivia moving next to him as she lay down in the same position.
"Why don't you hate me for what I done?" he asked her breaking the silence. "You should hate me."
"I could never hate you, and believe me when I say I tried."
Elliot turned on his side to face her.
"It's not like I didn't give you plenty of opportunities to, I was a prick quite a few times during our Partnership."
"More than a few," she grinned turning on her side to face him. "But my bitchiness matched you step for step."
"The perfect Partnership."
"Until you blocked me out," she said not looking at him.
"Yeah," he sighed. "And you will never know how sorry I am for that."
"So why do it. I would have been there for you every step of the way."
"I know you would have, but I thought I could handle it myself… I was wrong."
Olivia moved a little closer and took hold of his hand that was resting on the pillow between them.
"I spent the first month angry and drunk," he told her. "I went from motel to motel drinking every night. I wanted to call you every time I heard your voicemails, but I convinced myself you would be disappointed in me because I was so drunk and such a mess, so I would drink more to try and block out those feelings, but it didn't work it just made things worse. I convinced myself that you hated me for shooting Jenna."
"Elliot I could never hate you for that, you never had a choice. She could have killed any of us that day."
"Yeah well I never saw it that way. Then Cragen told me that IAB were going through all my old cases that involved a shooting or anytime I had been written up. They were out to get me and that meant they would likely go for you as well…."
"So you quit to protect me."
Elliot nodded into the pillow. "I couldn't let them drag you down which is what they would have done. The only way to stop it was to retire. But I knew if I came to you and told you, you would have tried to talk me out of it. So I signed the papers and gave them to Cragen and told him to tell you. I then called Rick got on the bike and came up here. I got rid of my cell phone so you couldn't call me and gave the kids my new one for emergencies."
He saw the tears filling her eyes as they stared across the pillow at each other.
"So why didn't you call me later, why was it up to your son to come to me and give me the letter and card?" she asked him as the tears rolled down her face and dropped onto the pillow.
"Because I'm a stupid fucking idiot that's why."
"Yeah you are," she sniffed as Elliot left loose of her hand and gently wiped away her tears. "But I'm to blame just as much as you."
"No your not Liv, all this was my own doing."
"Yes I am. I should have tried harder to find you, to reach out to you. But I just let you go. I just thought you were happy at home with Kathy and the kids and you didn't need me anymore. I should have come to find you. You were my Partner and I just let you go."
"You know, to say we were supposed to be good Detectives with the best closure rates we were pretty clueless when it came to our feelings for each other."
"Yeah we were," she laughed, before looking away from him again.
"What is it?" he asked her, putting his fingers under her chin and lifting her head back up to look at her.
"Just thinking of something Dickie said when he came to see me."
"Oh god, I hate to think what this is."
"He said you only went back to Kathy because she got pregnant, despite your feelings for me…. Elliot when did you… I mean how long have you had feelings for me, other than what Partners should feel for each other."
"A while…"
"A while, that's your answer I need a little more than that."
"Gitano," he told her. "Well before then, but that was when I realised I wanted you and I couldn't be without you."
"So why didn't you say something then."
"Because I was scared, I was scared if I told you or showed you how I felt and then screwed it up or you didn't feel the same then I would lose you from my life completely. So I done the opposite. I acted like a prick and pushed you away, when all I wanted to do was hold you and kiss you and tell you how much I wanted you. I came to your apartment after the Gitano case to tell you what I had meant in the hospital and how it had come out wrong, but weren't there. Then I found out you had transferred to Computer Crimes and I was so pissed off. By the time I got my head out my ass and stopped sulking and came to tell you again you had gone undercover for the FEDS."
"I'm sorry. I really thought you didn't want to be partners anymore. I thought getting away for a while would help me make sense of my feelings for you, but all it done was make me want you more. Then by the time I got back and we were actually talking again and back to being us, you got Kathy pregnant and moved home. So I put all my feelings for you out of my head and just got on with the job."
"I should have just kissed you in the locker room after that fight with Blaine. I should have told you then how I felt, instead of walking away," he said cupping her face and stroking her cheek lightly with his thumb. "Then I wouldn't have spent the last 6 years dreaming of what could have been. I should have come to you that night instead of jumping into bed with Kathy."
"So why did you. If you had the feelings you say you had for me, why sleep with her?"
"We had just got our friendship back on track and I didn't want to turn up on your doorstep needing more than that from you and have you turn me down. I couldn't lose you again. So I took the easy option. I had been to see the kids my head was all over the place and she asked me to stay. I just needed to forget what I had seen that night just for a while. No sooner had we finished than I regretted it and I was out her bed and out the door. I hated myself for using her like that when it wasn't her I wanted."
"I'm not going to lie and say it didn't hurt when you told me she was pregnant and you were moving home."
"I'm sorry… I am sorry for everything I have put you through and the way I have treated you. You deserve so much more than I can offer you. That's why I didn't get in touch. I thought if I just left you alone you would move on and be happy. If I had known how you felt, I would have come home to you."
Olivia watched the tear running down his cheek and moved her head forward and gently kissed it away, placing gentle kisses down his cheek to his mouth.
"No more talking El," she breathed against his mouth. "We both fucked up, let's just work on making up for lost time."
"I can do that," he whispered moving closer to her and moving his hand to her hip and pulling her to him as the kiss deepened and their tongues found each other. The kiss was slow and deep, full of passion.
Elliot slid his hand slowly from her hip down over her ass cheeks slipping it under the bottom of the t-shirt she was wearing. He heard her moaning into his mouth as he trailed his fingers over her thigh and down to her knee, before taking hold of her leg and lifting it up placing it over his hip allowing him to move closer to her.
"Shit," she mumbled into his mouth when she felt the start of his erection pushing against her through his boxers and her lace panties. Elliot's body shuddered as she dragged her nails down his back and slipped her hand into the top of his boxers and gripped his ass pulling him to her.
Elliot broke away from her mouth and kissed his way down her neck suckling gently of her skin as his hand moved up under the t-shirt his finger tips lightly stroking her side and the side of breasts. She tipped her head back giving him greater access to her neck as his large hand cupped her breast and his palm brushed against her erect and sensitive nipple.
"Fuck," he mumbled against her neck as their lower bodies moved together. He rolled her onto her back moving between her legs raising himself up on one elbow as he looked down at her, his hand still on her breast, his breathing heavy as he continued to push his now hard cock against her core.
Olivia swallowed hard as she looked up at him, the glow from the fire lighting them up.
"You are so beautiful," she told him as they looked into each other's eyes.
"I was just thinking the same thing about you," he smiled before kissing her lips lightly. "Along with how damn sexy you are," he told her as he gently rubbed her nipple between his finger and thumb and watched as she bit down on her lip and closed her eyes. "Sooo fucking sexy," he whispered as he felt her push her hips up against him, and he ground himself against her, his cock rubbing against her sensitive clit through their thin layer of clothing.
"Jesus El…" she sighed as they began to move together still clothed. She knew without the underwear he would be buried deep inside her, making love to her.
"I….. I want you so much… But…" he moaned into her neck.
"…We shouldn't rush into sex, not straight away," she panted, as they continued to move together.
"Yeah…..But I am so turned on…. So hard for you," he told her as she scraped her nails down his back."I need to ….."
"Cum," she finished for him.
"Yeah."
"Me to," she said as he lifted his head stopped moving between her legs. "El, make me cum."
Elliot completely stilled and looked down at her a small smile on his face. "Do you know how many times I have heard you say those words in my dreams?"
"About the same amount as you have done it to me in my dreams," she replied as he slid off her slightly. "Just because we don't want to rush the sex, doesn't mean we can't have a little fun," she winked.
"Couldn't agree more," he said as his hand lifted her t-shirt up and revealed her breasts to him for the first time. He licked his lips as he ran his fingers lightly over them rubbing her nipples. "Gorgeous," he said dropping his head forward and taking her pert nipple into his warm mouth and sucked on it gently, swirling his tongue around the small bud, as his fingers played with the other nipple.
Olivia dropped her head back as she felt his teeth graze the nipple and rubbed her thighs together to try and ease the dull throb there. She could feel the wetness between her legs making her panties damp, and she jumped when she felt Elliot's fingers brushing over her stomach and over the top of her underwear and press against her core through the damp material.
She knew he would be able to feel the dampness of her arousal and she should have been slightly embarrassed by it but she wasn't, she just needed him to touch her, to feel his fingers slip inside her.
Elliot lifted his head from her breast.
"Liv…..Look at me," he told her as his fingers moved across the top of her panty line. As she opened her eyes he moved his hand inside his fingers slipping between her wet, warm folds as she spread her legs a little wider for him.
"Fuck, baby…..Your soaked," he breathed as her juices coated his fingers.
"Only for you," she told him as he pushed a single finger inside her his palm brushing against her clit as he moved the finger around gently inside her before slipping it from her, and out of her panties.
"I need to taste you," he said his voice deeper than she had ever heard it before. She watched as he raised his hand to his face and sucked slowly on the finger that had been inside her and moaning in pleasure. "So sweet," he said before licking his lips and sliding his hand back down and inserting two fingers straight into her hot wet opening. He crashed his mouth against hers as his fingers moved in and out of her at a steady pace his thumb brushing against her clit.
Olivia could feel his erection pushing against her leg through his boxers and moved her hand down brushing it over the top of the material and feeling how hard and big he was.
He moaned into her mouth as she grabbed the top of the shorts and pulled them away from him and down slightly freeing him. She moved slightly turning onto her side a little more as she took hold of him in her hand and began to stroke him firmly. She swiped her thumb over his tip spreading the pre cum already pooled there and she felt him jump slightly.
Elliot kicked the blankets off them and looked down between them all he could see was tangled arms and legs as they both pleasured each other, bringing each other closer and closer to their release.
Elliot added a third finger as he pushed deeper and deeper inside her as Olivia gripped him harder and pumped faster. The room filled with panting breaths, moans and groans.
"Oh god!" she gasped. "Don't….Don't stop, right there," she told him. "Right…. Fucking….. There!"
"So…close," he grunted as he pressed and rubbed his thumb over her clit sending her over the edge as she dropped her head back against the pillow, her hand stopped moving on his cock as her body convulsed and she came around his fingers, her inner walls gripping his fingers hard as her juices coated his fingers even more.
As the initial wave of her orgasm calmed she carried on stroking him. "Fuck, that's it baby…Harder….Oh Shit!" he gasped as they both looked down between them and watched as her hand moved faster and harder up and down his shaft bringing him closer and closer to his own release.
Elliot his cock into her hand, his body jerking twice before releasing, his warm seed spurting from him covering her hand and stomach as Elliot gasped for breath.
"Jesus Christ," he panted looking her in the eyes. "That was…."
"Amazing," she grinned crashing her mouth against his and kissing him hard.
"Just what I needed," he smiled against her lips.
"Me too, do you know how long it is since I haven't had to do that to myself?" she asked him.
"If it's as long as me, then it's a long time," he chuckled making her jump as he swiped his fingers along the length of her soaked pussy.
"We should get cleaned up," she told him finally leaving loose of his softening cock.
"Yeah," he said kissing the tip of her nose. "I will grab some wipes from the bathroom."
He jumped up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. He stopped in the doorway and turned to face her.
"After that Liv, I don't know how long I will be able to wait before I make love to you," he grinned as he disappeared through the door.
Once they cleaned each other up. Elliot gave her a clean pair of his boxers and t-shirt to put on whilst he put on his sweatpants.
They lay back down and Elliot pulled up the blankets around them as Olivia turned on her side and moved back against his chest. Elliot wrapped his arms around her hugging her to him. He softly kissed her neck on top of the mark he had left earlier.
"Merry Christmas Baby," he whispered as he heard her yawn.
"Merry Christmas," she said snuggling back into him a little more.
They both lay there for a few minutes in silence before they spoke quietly at the same time.
"I love you," they both said smiling, still as in sync just as they always had been. They closed their eyes and for the first time in a long time drifted off to sleep without any trouble.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Daddy…. Daddy," Elliot heard and a little hand tapped him on the arm. "Wake up Daddy…."
Elliot slowly opened his eyes a little confused at first by the weight of another person lying half on top of him, a smile crossing his lips as he remembered it was Olivia and then got a little worried at what his young son would think and thankful both him and Olivia had clothes on.
"Daddy, you awake now?" Eli asked tapping his arm again.
"Yeah, Buddy," he said his voice husky from just waking. "Are you okay?" he asked his son, his eyes finally focusing on him as Olivia moved beside him. "Did you have a bad dream or something?"
"No Daddy…. Santa has been," he said yawning.
Elliot looked at the bedside clock it was only twenty past three. "Eli, I don't think Santa will have been yet it's too early, why don't you go back to bed and go to sleep for a few more hours," he said hoping he would accept this and let him sleep a little longer.
"But he has been Daddy," he said climbing on the bed and sitting next to him.
"Did you go snooping down into the living room?" Elliot asked him a smile on his lips as he looked at his son's excited face.
Eli shook his head. "No Daddy. You said I wasn't to go into the living room alone because of the fire."
"So how do you know Santa has been?"
Eli lifted his head and looked over at Elliot at Olivia.
"Because of Olivia," said Eli grinning.
Elliot frowned "What do you mean because of Olivia?"
Eli sighed "Because Daddy, I left a note for Santa."
"Yeah."
"Well I asked Santa if he could bring you a present this year….." Elliot just looked at his son confused. "I asked Santa to bring Olivia for your present and he did. She is here," he beamed.
"You asked Santa to bring me Olivia?" asked Elliot a lump in his throat.
Eli nodded excitedly.
"Why did you ask Santa for that?"
"I was ear watching," he told his dad and Elliot couldn't help but smile at his sons mix up of words. "I head Dickie and the girls talking last night when you were at work. And they said the best present you could have this year would be Olivia, cause it would make you really happy, because you love her. So I wrote a letter last night and left it for Santa… And look he brought Olivia," he grinned. "Although Daddy you have been naughty opening your present before everyone else is up."
Elliot felt Olivia shaking beside him as she tried not to laugh out loud at Elliot being told off from his Son; however when he looked down at her he saw her eyes open and shining with tears at what Eli had said.
"So Daddy, are you happy with your present?" he asked him as Elliot just lay there stunned.
"Erm….. Yeah, I'm really happy Kiddo."
"Cool… plus if Santa can bring a real person then he will definitely be able to bring me a sled and Game boy," he said yawning again and rubbing his eyes.
"I'm sure he can," Elliot said ruffling his son's blond hair. "But why don't you try and get some more sleep before we go and have a look, otherwise you will be too tired to play with all your presents."
Eli thought about it for a few more seconds as he yawned again. "I guess I am still tired," he said sleepily. "But could I just sleep in here with you and Olivia? Dickie snores really loud."
"Well…..Erm…"
"Sure you can Eli," said Olivia sitting up slightly.
"Thanks Olivia," he said climbing over Elliot and squeezing in between him and Olivia and lying down as Olivia pulled the blankets up over him.
"Comfy?" she asked, as her and Elliot turned on their sides to face him.
Eli nodded and yawned again. "Olivia was it cool on Santa's sleigh?" he asked her. "I know you were in his sack all wrapped in paper but it must have been so cool to fly," he said closing his eyes.
"It was very cool," she said to him. "And thank you for asking Santa to bring me here for your Daddy."
"Your welcome," he said sleepily as Elliot looked over his son's head at Olivia and smiled.
"You okay," he asked her quietly.
"Never better," she told him as Elliot reached over the top of his son and took hold of her hand resting them lightly over Eli.
"We should get some more sleep. If Eli was excited about you being here imagine what three girls are going to be like," he chuckled as they both looked over the top of Eli's head their eyes locked together.
"I meant what I said earlier, before we fell asleep, I do love you El."
"I meant it as well and it felt so good to tell you, finally….. Hey what's wrong?" he asked her as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I just, I can't lose you again. I don't want to spend Christmas here with you and kids only to go back to New York alone. I just don't think I could take that."
"Neither could I Liv. There is no way I could let you leave without me."
"What?"
Elliot smiled at her and squeezed her hand.
"Liv as soon as we can, we are cancelling your flight…."
"But….."
"Let me finish," he grinned. "We are cancelling the flight. Then once the kids are on their flight home we are packing everything into the pick-up, putting my bike in the trailer and driving back to New York together…I can't live without you either," he smiled."When you leave to go back, I will be coming with you."
"You mean it?"
"I'm done running Liv. I'm not gonna risk losing you again. So as long as you don't mind me crashing at your place till I find somewhere to live….."
"Of course I don't mind," she sniffed.
"Come here," he said lifting his head and meeting her half way across Eli and cupping her face kissing her softly.
"That's so yucky," mumbled Eli from in between making them chuckle.
"I'm never leaving you again Benson, I promise you," he told her as they both lay back down. "Your stuck with me forever," he smiled at her as they both closed their eyes and slowly drifted back to sleep as Eli snored gently in between them.
I promise I will have the third and final Chapter up by Christmas Eve.
And there will definitely be a lot more Elliot and Olivia lovin in it.
Don't forget to review.
