Previous chapter:
He drove Olivia home around 10 pm. He opened the door for her when they reached her building. He was walking her to her apartment door when they saw Elliot outside, waiting for her. He had been calling and texting her all night but, she didn't answer because she didn't want to lie in front of Paul.
"Detective Stabler," he said as a hello, trying to hide the shock on his face. Why would he be here this late at night?
Olivia, however, could not hide the shock on her face.
"Olivia, I had a great time. I'll see you at work," he said then walked away.
Olivia said bye then looked back up at Elliot. He did not look happy, at all.
"What are you doing here?" Olivia asked.
"Funny, that didn't look like Casey to me." Elliot started walking away until Olivia grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
"It was just dinner. Nothing happened," Olivia defended.
"Then why lie about it?" Elliot asked.
"Because I knew you'd be mad, just like you are now."
"He likes you Olivia. How much more obvious can he get?"
"So what if he likes me? I'm with you, aren't I?"
"Yeah, until you leave me for him. Just like you did with Mark."
She shook her head. "That's not fair. I wasn't happy with Mark. I'm happy with you."
He shook his head and stayed quiet.
"You don't trust me, that it?" Olivia asked.
"I'm not fighting with you." He started walking away but, she grabbed him again.
"So you're just going to ignore it? Why can't you ever just talk it out instead of walking away?"
"Why can't you ever just tell me the truth instead of lying?" he shot back.
She sighed. "Fine, leave."
He pulled his arm out of her grasp and walked away.
Olivia got into bed and couldn't figure out how to make this better. It was both of thier faults but, she knew that he wouldn't apologize so it was up to her. She just wasn't sure if he was going to accept it. I guess we'll see tomorrow, she thought.
Olivia woke up the next morning, feeling like shit. Elliot was mad at her.
She walked into the precinct and saw everyone there. Even Elliot. She sat at her desk across from him and tried to get his attention. She failed. He kept his eyes on his computer screen and didn't even blink an eye when she walked in.
Paul was curious as to why Elliot would be mad. He knows that her and Elliot were best friends but, he has no right to be mad. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, had that right.
Then it all clicked. No wonder Elliot kept glaring at him when they first met. Paul was openly flirting with Olivia and was obvious about his feelings for her. Elliot is her boyfriend, he thought.
Paul found Elliot in the locker room later that night. "Elliot, listen it really wan't my intention to get in between you and Olivia. We just went to dinner as friends."
Elliot turned around and looked at him. "I'm not an idiot, ok? I know that you like Olivia but, you can't have her. So how about you just back off and leave her alone," Elliot barked.
"I know that you two love each other. Everyone knows that. I'm not going to get into this because it was just a innocent friendly dinner that was my idea, not hers. So don't blame her." Paul walked away.
Elliot sighed and closed his locker. He walked back into the squadroom and saw Olivia putting her jacket on.
She looked up at him. "Are you heading home?" she asked, trying to start up conversation.
"Yeah," he mumbled.
"Walk me to my car?" she asked. He looked up and glared at her. "Please?" she tried again.
"Why don't you have Paul do it?" he grumbled.
"El, please let's not fight. I don't want to fight with you anymore."
"Well you should of thought about that before you went out with him. "
"What do I have to do to get you to trust me? Nothing happened but, you just can't leave it at that. Well it's not my fault that you're so insecure. I'm sorry that you don't trust me. I'm sorry that you're a jealous asshole that only cares about himself," she snapped. She grabbed her purse then walked away.
Short, I know but, I'm working on making next chapter longer. Please review. :)
