But i still want them in the show…we all do…
Chapter 9
Olivia closed the phone with a snap, a satisfied smile on her lips.
"Whats up Liv?" Blake asked glancing at her as he made coffee the next morning.
"I invited Elliot and his wife Kathy over for dinner tonight. I want you guys to bond, Blake. Your the two most important people in my life. I want you guys to be friends." Liv answered.
Blake set the cup down in front of her "Don't worry, Liv. What time are they coming?"
"Eight." she said taking a sip. "This is great, Blake. Munch's coffee is horrible." she grinned.
"Im glad I could make you some. So do you want me to cook, or are you?" Blake smiled, sitting down next to her on the couch.
"If you want to, I don't know when Im getting off…" she offered.
"I don't mind, Liv." He took a sip of his coffee.
"You are a woman's dream." she grinned, kissing him softly.
"By woman, you mean you?" he said, teasing.
"Oh no, you figured it out." she giggled. She never joked like this with Elliot. It was nice, and different.
Blake grinned, and pulled her close "I need to figure something else out."
"Whats that?" she asked, looking up at him, coffee forgotten.
"How much time I to kiss you before you have to go." he mumbled, tilting up her face.
"As much time as you want." she whispered, as his lips captured hers. It was such a gentle, passionate kiss. She leaned in more as the doorbell rang, interrupting them.
"Grr. Who could that be?" Blake growled, walking to the front door.
Liv sighed annoyed. She was enjoying that.
Blake opened the door revealing Elliot. "Hey Elliot."
"Uh, Hey Blake." Elliot greeted, noticing he wasn't wearing a shirt, only pajama bottoms.
"El? What are you doing here?" Liv asked, coming over to them. She too was dressed in pajamas, Elliot noted.
"We caught a case, and I came over to pick you up. I called your cell, you didn't answer."
"Oh that's because I was talking with Kathy." she said, closing the door as he came in.
"Kathy?" he said surprised "Why?"
"I invited her and you for dinner." Liv said, smiling.
"Really" Elliot commented, raising a eyebrow in disbelief. Why was she doing this? What brought it on? In all of there twelve years together, she never offered to do that.
"Ya so be here by eight. Give me fifteen minutes while I get dressed." she said, walking to her bedroom.
When she closed the door, Blake spoke "Would you like some coffee?"
"No, thanks. Im in a hurry." Elliot declined.
"Suit yourself." he shrugged, taking a sip from his cup.
"So…you and Olivia are getting serious, huh?" Elliot asked.
Blake looked at him "Yes we are."
"I just want you to know-" Elliot began.
"I know what your going to say. Ill cut to the chase, Elliot. Im not going to hurt her, Elliot. You don't need to worry. I know your here to protect her, and I know you will always have her back but you don't need to worry I wont hurt her, I promise. " Blake interrupted.
"Well as long as it's clear. Because if you do hurt her, I swear…" Elliot threatened.
" I know." Blake said quietly.
"Do you love her?" Elliot asked abruptly, curiously.
Blake sucked in a breath. Ya like he was going to tell him, her partner. "That isn't your business, Elliot."
Elliot looked at him. Wasn't his business? Of course it was. Anything involving with Olivia was his business, he should know that by now. They looked at each other appraisingly until Olivia came out wearing black pants, purple shirt, black jacket, and boots. She had little make-up on, and her hair was in soft waves. She was absolutely breath taking.
"Ready?" she asked El.
Elliot shook his head, clearing his thoughts "Ya. Lets go. It was nice uh seeing you Blake."
"You too. See you tonight." Blake replied.
"You heading out too?" Liv asked, hugging him.
Blake smelled her lavender vanilla perfume and smiled "Ya if you want me to be here early. I'll lock the door before I leave."
"K. See you..later, then." she said, wondering how she could kiss him with Elliot standing right there, watching them.
Blake however kissed her check quickly, and gave her a small smile "Bye Olia."
Olivia smiled at hearing her old nickname "You haven't called me that since college."
" I know." he grinned, waved goodbye, and headed to the bathroom.
Later on…around seven.
Olivia stretched, and got up from her desk "Are you going to pick up Kathy?"
Elliot glanced up from his papers "Ya I should get going." He got up, downed his jacket and left.
"Why aren't we invited Liv?" John asked from his desk.
"Its a bonding dinner, guys." she explained, noticing that Fin was listening "I want Elliot and Blake to bond. You guys well be great with him, but you know how El is."
"Ya we know" John said with a knowing glance at Fin.
"Well good luck baby-girl. If you need us just call." Fin said smiling at her.
"Thanks. Bye." she smiled at them and left.
"Fifty bucks it will end badly?" John asked grinning.
"Your on." Fin said chuckling.
Olivia walked into her apartment, smelling chicken and mashed potatoes. Blake had set up the table, and made a complicated looking dish. It was chicken with white sauce, and mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side. Wine was also on the table, and bread.
"Blake you didn't have to go thorough all this trouble." Liv said walking into the bedroom.
Blake was buttoning up a white shirt over black pants "It wasn't trouble Olia. How was work?"
"Brutal, but now Im home." she answered, walking over to him and kissed him.
"I missed you." he said when they broke apart.
She smiled "So did I." she kissed him again, and buttoned up his shirt.
"I wish it was the other way around." Blake said grinning, his eyes turning a shade darker.
Liv played with the top button "Later" she said her voice sexy and full of promises.
The door bell rang, breaking them apart. "I'll get it. You get dressed." Blake said, kissing her and leaving. Olivia sighed, looking after him. It was going to be a long night.
Blake opened the door "Hey come on in."
Elliot and Kathy entered. Elliot was wearing his usual suit, while Kathy was wearing brown pants and a soft pink shirt. "Blake this is Kathy, my wife. Kathy this is Blake."
"Its a pleasure." Blake smiled shaking her hand.
Kathy smiled in awe. He was absolutely handsome. Liv sure knew had to pick them.
"Where's Liv?" Elliot asked, looking around.
"Bedroom." Blake replied leading them to the couch. "Would you like something to drink?"
Elliot hated how he was acting like he knew and owned the place. "No thanks I'll wait."
"Same. So Blake, what do you work as?" Kathy declined sitting down with Elliot next to her.
"I work in homicide." Blake answered.
"Really." Kathy said surprised "Is it hard?"
"Yes it is, but I imagine SVU is harder, right?" Blake said.
"Ya we deal with real live victims you guys deal with the bodies." Elliot commented. "Hey guys." Liv said coming out, wearing a red dress with matching heels. Elliot stared at her, amazed. She was so beautiful it ached him.
After they exchanged there greetings Liv said "Want to head to the table? Im starved."
They followed her and sat down "Wow Liv did you do all this?" Kathy asked, taking a bread from the basket.
"No Blake did." she smilied serving wine.
Elliot coughed "You did?"
Blake nodded, taking the bottle from Olivia "Sit you had a long day" he whispered, pouring her some and sitting down again.
Olivia smiled loving how he cared. Elliot watched the exchange with narrowed eyes. How could Olivia put him in such a position?
"This is amazing, Blake. FInally a man that can cook." Kathy complimented.
Olivia laughed " I know, right? Just what I need." The words pierced Elliot like knives.
"So whats the story with you two?" Kathy asked not paying attention to Elliot.
"We met in college." Blake said, smiling at Olivia. "I was giving tours of the campus to the freshman, and I see Olivia. And she's all by herself, looking around. I go over to her and offer to help, and she looks at me and refuses point blake."
Olivia laughed too "I didn't know if he was being helpful or wanted to gain something. But from then on, we became great friends. He got me in alot of trouble though."
"True true." Blake agreed remembering "You always bailed me out though."
Kathy watched them, feeling ecstatic. Finally Olivia had someone, someone she deserved. She was surprised that Olivia asked her over for dinner, but happy.
Over the dinner they exchanged funny stories, talked about the recent world news, and sports.
"Here Olivia. Let me help. You guys can go to the living room." Kathy said picking up there empty plates.
After they were gone, Kathy asked the question she was dying to know the answer to "He's really great, Liv."
"Isn't he?" Liv smiled carrying the plates to the kitchen.
"Yes he is. You sure know how to pick them." Kathy said handing her the plates.
"Thanks." Liv said turning on the water.
"Do you love him?" Kathy asked.
Olivia dropped the plate she was holding "What?"
"Do you love him?" Kathy repeated watching her.
Did she love him? Olivia wondered. She didn't know. "I don't know Kathy." she said truthfully turning back to the sink.
Kathy watched her thoughtfully. "Did you love him in college?"
"Yes I did." Olivia answered.
"What happened?" Kathy asked, bringing the rest of the plates.
"Reality" Olivia said honestly. Knowing she wasn't going to get more answers, Kathy cleaned up the table, leaving Olivia to her confused thoughts.
"Was work hard today?" Blake asked Elliot, leaning back in his chair.
"Yes it was, why?" Elliot asked surprised.
"Liv came home tired." Blake said putting on a Lakers game.
"Oh. Hey I love the Lakers." Elliot said smiling.
"So do I." Blake said, curiously. They looked at each other, then started talking.
Later on, after Elliot and Kathy left, (after eating cheesecake, and watching the rest of the game) Olivia washed her face and put on her purple nightgown. She came out finding Blake on the bed, pj's on no shirt.
He patted the space next to him "That was fun Olia."
"It was, wasn't it?" she agreed, sitting next to him.
Blake held her close, loving the feel of the silk material beneath his fingertips.
"Im glad we did it, I think me and Elliot got along." Blake said, running his hands down her back, making her shiver.
"I know B." she whispered, using his old nickname.
Blake leaned in closer "Its later you know."
"Mhmm." she purred, pulling him close and kissing him.
