Christmas DanceChapter 7
The following evening, Olivia and Casey met the rest of the SVU squad at the Commissioner's Dance. Olivia had decided on a form fitting long black dress with an open back, and black stilettos. Casey had chosen a fire engine red dress that criss-crossed in the back, with white stilettos.
The first thing Olivia saw walking in was Fin's gaping mouth. She gave a small laugh and nudged Casey, who had also managed to woo John with her looks alone. She also laughed and the two of them walked over to the rest of the gang. To Fin, it seemed as if Olivia was gliding, almost floating across thin air. When she got over to him, he took her in his arms and gently kissed her neck.
" Damn 'Livia. Four days out of the hospital, and you still look fine." He emphasized the word 'fine'.
" You don't look half bad yourself hot stuff." She whispered back seductively, wrapping her arms around his neck. Fin shivered, but not from the cold that was blowing in from the open door in the back. He smiled as they walked over to their table, fingering the small velvet box in his pocket.
As the night wore on, they all ate, drank, laughed, and danced. Olivia was asked to dance with Elliot, John, and Rey Curtis, from the 2-7, as well as Fin multiple times. She even managed to convince Cragen to dance with her once. Casey and John danced numerous times, as well as Casey dancing with Fin and Elliot.
Once, when Casey and Olivia went out to get a breath of fresh air, they heard the police commissioner start to announce something, but both decided it wasn't important enough to go back in. They'd get the details from the boys later.
As the night came to a close, the DJ put on one more slow song.
" This is to all the couples out there. Girls, grab your men and start dancing!" he said with a grin as he turned the volume up. As the music began to play, Olivia pulled Fin onto the dance floor, and he held her close.
This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know…
They danced slowly, ignoring the "awww!" looks coming from Elliot, Casey and John. Fin whispered gently in Olivia's ear, taking in the sweet scent of her coconut shampoo.
" I honestly thought I had lost you for good Liv. I didn't think you were gonna wake up. I had lost faith." Olivia gave him a sad smile, and laid her head on his shoulder.
" Fin, no matter how bad it gets, you'll never lost me. I'll always be right here, I promise." He smiled, and kissed her gently as they continued to dance to the music. There were other couples dancing, but to Olivia and Fin, it seemed like they were the only two out there.
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never let go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything, but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know…
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never let go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away (so far away)
Been far away for far too long
So far away (so far away)
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know…
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long…
" 'Livia?" Fin asked gently, kissing her neck repeatedly.
" Hm?" she heard him take a deep breath, and realized he was about to ask her something important.
" Liv, I love you. With all my heart, I love you." He paused, and pulled away a little.
" Fin, what are you…" Olivia trailed off when Fin got down on one knee, pulled out a small black box, and opened it. She gasped, and tears sprang to her eyes.
" 'Livia, will you marry me?" Fin asked as calmly as he possibly could. The entire room went silent, watching them, save for the song, which continued to play a little softer.
" Oh my God Fin…" Olivia was speechless for a moment as she stared at the princess cut diamond ring.
" Liv? Please say something baby." Fin said anxiously. Olivia smiled, the tears in her eyes falling down her cheeks.
" Yes. Yes Fin, I will marry you." She said happily, pulling him to his feet by his tie, and kissing him passionately.
The room erupted in applause, cheers, and wolf-whistles as Fin slid the perfect size ring onto Olivia's finger.
" Hey Fin?"
" What's up baby girl?"
" I love you."
" I love you too 'Livia. I love you too."
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold onto me and never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold onto me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold onto me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold onto me and never let me go…
