Olivia felt the bed lower as it welcomed Elliot's weight. Elliot stared at the ceiling, and wondered how on earth he mangaged to destroy such a beautiful thing? One minute he was lying in bed with the woman he loved the next he was counting sheep. She stirred against him so that her backside was pressing into his thigh. Elliot groaned and turned his back to her.
Morning came slowly and Elliot awoke to an
empty bed. Placing his foot down he felt something soft. "Liv?"
he said shocked to find her curled into a ball on the floor.
She
was sleeping. "Liv?" he shook he gently and her eyes soon
fluttered open.
"Hmmm?" getting up her back ached. And
she stopped a moment to sraighten her spine.
"You ok?"
Elliot asked as he noticed the effort it took for her to
stand.
"Yea," she replied as she stood up and stretched
her aching muscles.
"Why'd you sleep on the floor?"
Elliot questioned, pinning her down with his eyes.
"You know
why" Olivia said, picking up the sheet and folding it.
"No
I don't! The bed is big enough for both of us." he said grabbing
the sheet and folding it.
"Elliot you might have gotten over
us, but I am still getting to that point!" she yelled ready for
the screaming match she knew was coming.
"I've never, forced
myself on a woman and I'm not about to start now." he said
coldly dropping the sheet on the bed like it burnt it him.
"Elliot
you know that's not what I meant!" Olivia said her eyes
narrowing to dangerous slits.
"Then what did you mean?"
"With
our sexual history are you going to tell me that last night you
didn't want to have sex with me while I slept beside you?" she
asked keeping his gaze.
Elliot laughed throwing back his. "Benson,
as hard as it is to believe I can sleep in the same bed as you a not
want to have sex with you," he said. Olivia didn't know that
there was something inside her to break till he said those words and
powerfull to stop them tears formed in her eyes...
Elliot was
stunned! He saw her eyes water and he just wanted to gather her in
his arms and kiss those tears away. But he knew if he did he would be
a dead man.
"Liv I'm sorr-"
"Save your
apologises Stabler, I 've got work to do" she said as the tears
that were theatening to fall two minutes ago completely disappeared
he had to wonder if he imagined it.
Olivia made her self to the bathroom as fast as she could and in there she cried. She cried she knew that this time they were lost to each other forever. And it was breaking her heart. Washing her face and brushing her teeth she combed her hair and got ready for the road ahead. She knew it would be rocky.
Elliot was ready, but he he wasn't ready for was the
simple beauty of this woman. "Are you ready?" she asked her
voice as plain as ever, so he just nodded.
Taking up the map she
walked with to the jeep.
And just like they both expected the
vechile was filled with nothing but silence and their breathing.
"Turn here" Olivia instructed as they got to the
intersection.
The cabin was now in view and stopped o make their
presence unknown while slowly walking up to the cabin.
Fin and
Munch where on their way, as Olivia and Elliot got to the door.
"I'll
go around the back" ELliot said as Olivia got into
postion.
"Policie Open up!" Olivia said knocking the
door. No answer came and she proceeded to open the door. Her heart
racing and she saw her former boss naked and slouching forward in the
chair that he was tied to. "El! in here!" she screamed and
soom Elliot walked in the room. "Cap'n wake up!" she said
touching his red face.
Elliot placed his hand to Cragen's neck for
pulse but there was barely any. They worked fast to untie him. "Come
Cap'n stay with me!" Elliot said.
"Nice that you could
join us detectives" A voice boomed from the back door where
Elliot had entered.
They spun around to see Mr. Miller with a
syringe with fluids in it.
"Mr. Miller you are under arrest
for the kiddnapping and attemped murder of Don Cragen" Elliot
said while taking out the cuffs and advancing on his. Miller swung
the syringe forwarded and emptied the contents in Elliots abdomen.
"El!" Olivia screamed as she watched him stagger and the
cuffs dropping from his hands with a loud thud on the board
floor.
"It's just you and me, cutie" Miller said walking
towards Olivia.
"And Me!" Fin stated aiming his gun to
the back of Miller's head.
"What about me?" Munch asked
as he entered the front door.
Olivia smiled at him and walked over
to Elliot who was helplessly falling to the ground. "Liv"
he grabbed unto her hand, and with that he past out.
