She sighed, waking up with Elliot's arms tight around her. She moved around in order to see his face. She began to trace his face lightly with her fingertips and in doing so she woke him up. He smiled lazily at her, "This is a nice way to wake up in the morning."

She smiles at him and nods her head in agreement, "I think that I could get used to this."

He smiles his signature smile showing, "Me too." He pauses, "Do we have to get up?" She nods and tries to get up, but his arms tightens around her, "Where are you trying to go?"

"I was going to go make coffee and breakfast…you interested?"

He smiles, "Well, you know me, I can always eat." She nods and goes to the kitchen to fix breakfast."

She has the coffee on and is working on scrambling some eggs when there was a knock on the door.

Elliot went to the door, "Hello…Hey Star" He nodded to his Captain and then went inside. Elliot went to the kitchen and Cragen and Star followed.

Olivia turned from where she was cooking and looked at Cragen and Star, "To what do we owe this visit?"

Cragen looked between his detectives, sensing a change in their relationship "This you're in luck…The Feds caught them…The decoy worked and you both are free to go on with your lives…and I expect you both at work on Monday. Stabler, take your partner to her apartment and help her get whatever is salvageable and then take her to Casey's."

Olivia looked at Cragen, "Casey's?"

He nodded, "Yea…she said that you could stay with her till you can find another apartment."

Olivia nodded and Star spoke up, "We are confident that we have them all; I am very sorry that you had to go through that…We'll be keeping an eye out for a few weeks to make sure that things are going well." Olivia nodded and the two shook hands and Star and Cragen left.

After they had ate breakfast the pair had went to Olivia's apartment and they were able to salvage some of Olivia's stuff. Now they were on their way to Casey's house and neither had said a word since they left Olivia's apartment. Elliot was remembering her words from the night before while she was dreaming and wondering if there was any truth to them. Olivia, on the other hand, was wondering where she was going to find an apartment that was as good as her old one; then she remembered Elliot telling her she was going to move in with him. They pulled up to Casey's building and Elliot turned to Liv, "You know that you can stay with me, right? I mean if you want to, that is…"

She smiled at him, "Thanks El, but I'll be okay at Casey's...Besides; I think that Cragen wouldn't approve of us living together…And I'm not ready to lose my partner…"

He nodded; he respecting that she wasn't ready to take the step. "Well, have a great night and I'll see you tomorrow morning at work."

"Thanks for your help…see you in the morning." She smiled, "I'll get the coffee in the morning."

He smiled and reached for his door handle, "I'll help you carry your stuff up to Casey's…"

She nodded and they walk up the stairs with Olivia's stuff. As the reach the door, Olivia steps over and knocks on the door. Casey answered the door, looking straight at Olivia and a package laden Elliot. Casey smiled at the pair and stepped aside to let them in. "Hey guys."

Olivia smiled and followed Elliot into the apartment; Olivia looked at Casey, "Hello! Thanks for letting me crash here…" She pauses looking at Elliot, then looks back at Casey. "Where can he put this stuff?" Casey motions to the spare bedroom on the right. And Olivia leads Elliot into the room. "Just put it on the bed…Thank you for carrying it up."

He nods to her, "No problem Liv. So, I guess I'll go and see you on Monday… Have a great weekend with Casey. And be careful."

"Sounds good…Thank you for everything…Thanks for being there, for comforting me…for jus being you."

He smiled, excited that she was realizing that he was there for her. He walked to her, "You know that even though you're not staying with me, you can still call and I can be here in a few minutes. Right?"

"Thanks El, I know…" He nodded and she walked to the room door, getting ready to walk out.

As she did so he walks up behind her, "Liv…" She turns around, putting her right into his awaiting arms.

Casey walks from the kitchen, where she was working on lunch, toward the bedroom that Liv will be using. She walks over and looks at Elliot and Olivia standing in the door way holding on to the other as if their lives depended on it. Casey smiles to herself and clears her throat.

The two detectives jump apart, red faced and look at anything but each other or Casey.

Casey sees how uncomfortable they are, realizing that they probably aren't together, as she first thought upon seeing their embrace. She quickly recovers, "So…Lunch is ready. Elliot would like to stay for lunch?"

He shakes his head, "No, but thanks. I'm going to see my kids…" Casey nods in understanding and goes back into the kitchen, leaving the pair alone. After Casey has gone, Elliot turns to Olivia, "Well, have a good weekend…I'll see you to work on Monday." He moves to get around her and is saying good bye to Casey before Olivia comes out of her trance like state and realizes he's walking out the door.

Olivia run to the door and catches him before he gets into the elevator, "El!" His hand freezes in the air above the down button and he turns toward her. She smiles at him and comes to a stop in front of him. He looks at her expectantly and she simply says thank you and leans up to kiss him. It's a quick peck on the lips and she pulls back, looking unsure of her actions. Elliot opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. Olivia takes this as a bad sign and turns away from him and begins to walk back to Casey's, defeated. 'I thought that was something he wanted…He's sure looked like he wanted to kiss me before…Guess I'm reading him wrong.' Olivia thinks to herself. Before she can process what is going on, she is in Elliot's arms and his lips are on hers. She relishes in the feel of his lips on hers and lets her tongue duel for power with his, in a complete state of bliss.

Finally breaking of their intense game of tonsil hockey, Elliot rests his forehead on hers. "Why'd you try to walk away from me?" he asks.

She half-shrugs, still in his arms, "Well, honestly when you didn't say anything after I kissed you, I thought that I had misjudged you. I thought you didn't want that."

He leans back and looks her straight in the eye, "Olivia I have wanted to do that all week. It is incredibly hard to live I the same house as you and not be able to touch or kiss you."

She blushed slightly and was about to respond when both of their phones rang. They looked at one another and grabbed their perspective cell phones and answered. "Stabler." "Benson"

Olivia laughed, "Yeah Casey…I'll be right there…okay…bye."

Elliot sighed, "Hi sweetie. Yeah, I'm okay and so is Liv…Okay, I'll be there to pick you up in a minute…Okay, Love you too Bye." Elliot looked at Liv, "That was Kathleen; apparently Kathy dropped the kids off at school and today was no school. They can't get a hold of Kathy, so I'm gonna pick them up." Olivia nodded, smiling. "We'll talk later about everything…okay?"

Her pulse picked up realizing where such a conversation could lead. "Sounds great…Casey called me to say that lunch was getting cold, so I better go. Have a good weekend with the kids."

"I will…You have fun with Casey and I'll see you Monday. Call me if you need me or if you just want to talk." She nodded. He leaned down and placed a sweet kiss on her lips as the elevator doors opened.

"Be careful El…bye."

"Always…Talk to you later." She blew him as the doors closed. After the he was gone she touched her lips and, with a huge smile on her face, walked back to Casey's apartment.

Monday morning found Olivia waking up rested from her relaxing weekend with Casey. They had mostly stayed at Casey's apartment, watching movies and talking. Olivia had found herself on the phone with Elliot each night, until she fell asleep.

She got out the bed and got ready. After getting ready she walked out of the bathroom looking for Casey. She found a note on the kitchen counter and she read it aloud, "Liv, I have to be in court early, but Munch and Fin brought over your car." She grabbed her keys that were on the counter as well and walked out the door in search of coffee.

As she walked out of the coffee shop, her cell began to ring. She stopped walking and grabbed her cell, balancing her and Elliot's coffee in the other hand. "Benson…Hey El...No I'll be right there. I'm just got the coffee and I'm on my way back. Okay…I will. Bye" she hung up and proceeded to walk towards her car when she felt someone grab her from behind. She tried to yell, but a chloroform soaked cloth was placed over her mouth. Her last thought as her world went black was of the magnificent kiss that she an Elliot had shared Friday morning.
