Chapter 6/Coming Together
Mike looked down, then looked at her and smiled.
"I would like that a lot." He said as Olivia looked at him shocked that he agreed with her. She thought he liked her a lot.
"You would?" she said, it wasn't like she didn't want him to agree, it was just that he agreed without even a fight.
Mike nodded his head, "Yea its fine, I mean I like being around you and I like talking to you. But your more like a sister to me then anything. I couldn't really bring me to like you more then that. Besides I know your secret." He said giving her an evil smile.
Elliot saw them talking but couldn't hear what they were saying, he saw Olivia smiling and saw that she was excited about what ever Mike was saying. Then he saw her giving him a warm hug. This pissed him off, he thought about Kathy and sort of felt a sense of anger and disappointment. He still cared for Kathy and wanted her happy, but he didn't love her, and he was upset that she was acting like a child. Why would he want children when he was married to one. He looked back over at Olivia and Mike, and he just wanted to push Mike off the side of a building.
Olivia was happy that her and Mike agreed to be friends, she gave him a hug for being such a good friend, Now she just wanted to know what secret he knew about.
"Come on Mike, tell me what secret you know about?" She said, pushing his arm.
He laughed at her whining like a child. "That is so not attractive in a woman." Then he felt her pinch him in the arm. "Ouch! What was that for?" He said holding his arm where she pinched him.
"For being a jerk and not telling me." She said then she moved to pinch him again, but he grabbed her arm.
"Ok, ok, I will tell you, just don't pinch me again." He said, moving her arm away.
She smiled and stood up straight waiting for his response. He leaned down to her ear and whispered. "You love Elliot." He said, then stepped back to see a look of surprise on her face.
She playfully punched him in the arm. "Shut up." She whispered harshly. He laughed at her and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Its ok, I wont tell. Besides I know he loves you too." He said then moved away before she could hit him again. "Look see, you know it too. That's why you are trying to injure me." He said then moved back further away from her. She grabbed him before he could run and pulled him back over to her.
"How do you know?" She asked interested in his answer. He stepped back and looked at her sideways. "I am not stupid. I know when two people are in love." He said laughing.
She looked at him, "How do you know me and Elliot love each other." She said crossing her arms.
He leaned against the wall and fingered for her to come closer. "Look, its simple. You are always staring at him, its really obvious by the way, you suck at hiding it. Also, he is always staring at you when you aren't looking at him. He gets pissed and turns red whenever another man is talking to you. ALSO, ever since I got here, he has been watching me closely; he looks like he wants to push me off a building or something. In addition, every time he doesn't talk to you, you get sad and walk around with your head down, then you try your best to get his attention. He ignores his wife when you're around, and I saw how you looked upset when she grabbed his arm, and then he moved it for you." He finished now with a smug look on his face, since he knew he was right and she couldn't deny it.
Olivia looked back at Elliot now looking down at his paper work. "Do you really think he loves me?" She said quietly causing Mike to laugh.
"Yea I am sure. You want me to go ask?" He said walking over there, before Olivia grabbed the back of his jacket and slamming him against the wall.
"NO! Don't do that. I would be mortified. Especially if he said no." She said, looking directly at Mike.
"That's another thing, you act like a little girl when he gets around, you giggle a lot and you smile all the time, and then you say 16 year old things like "I would be mortified." He said grabbing his cheeks making his voice high like a girls.
Olivia laughed at him then pushed him away. "Don't you have to leave?" She asked him.
Mike looked down at his watch. "Yea I better go. I only came by to say hello!" He said then gave her a hug and left.
Olivia went back into the office and sat down at her desk. She saw that Elliot was red, just like Mike said he would be. She giggled slightly causing Elliot to look up at her.
She immediately stopped smiling when she saw Elizabeth Strum come in the room. Olivia rolled her eyes, looked down at her desk, and started on some paper work.
Elliot saw her discomfort, looked over at the door, and saw Elizabeth. It was true that him and her became close, but they never slept together. They kissed once and he thought about sex with her, but he couldn't do that to Kathy. Then he got an idea, since Olivia was now probably official with Mike, it was his turn to mess around. He stood up and went over to Elizabeth. When she saw him, she smiled brightly, she really likes Elliot, and she was almost in love with him. The only two problems where his wife and his partner.
Elizabeth was really short around 4'11 no one knew how she became a police office being that small. She had short brown hair and had green eyes. She was attractive and all the men wanted her, and most of them time she wanted them back and gave it to them. But she never got to have Elliot but she knew that one day she would.
"Hey Liz." Elliot said giving her a hug.
"Hi, Elliot!" She said excited to see him. She looked over his shoulder and saw that Olivia was ignoring them. She smiled to herself and knew that Elliot and Olivia were not on good terms. So she used this to her advantage.
"So what are you doing here?" Elliot asked, smiling a little more then he should. He wanted to piss Olivia off just as he would get pissed whenever Mike came around.
"Oh just came to see you and see how things where." She said touching his arm.
Elliot looked down at his arm, and smiled. Truthfully, he wanted to tell her not to touch him, but he didn't want to be rude. And he also wants to keep going to bother Olivia.
"So you still married?" She asked hoping the answer was no.
"Umm sort of, we are getting a divorce." He said, feeling relieved when he heard those words come out of his mouth.
Elizabeth smiled, "Oh that's too bad, well are you seeing anyone." She said.
Elliot thought to himself. "She is pretty fast." Then he shook his head. "No not yet. It's a little early to try and get back out there." He said.
Elizabeth shook her head. "Its never to early besides, I am not seeing anyone, and I would like to get my place before anyone else does." She said, stepping a little closer to him.
Elliot smiled. "Really? Well I will have to remember that for future reference." He said leaning against one of the desk.
"So when is your lunch?" She asked, smiling at him brightly.
Elliot looked up at the clock. "Right now." He said smiling.
Elizabeth moved next to him. "Well would you like to have lunch with me?" She said.
Elliot looked over at Olivia and saw that she stopped writing. He smiled inside and knew that he was getting to her. "Sure, let me get my coat." HE said, then grabbed his coat off of his chair and walked out with Elizabeth on his arm.
Olivia slammed her pen down on her desk, and stood up. She stomped into the nearest empty interrogation room, and closed the door. Then leaned against the wall. She looked at the ground and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and heartbreak. She slid down onto the ground and looked up trying to keep her tears down. She didn't understand why Elliot would do something like that. Mike was wrong, Elliot didn't love her, and she pulled her knees up to her chest and began to softly cry.
She couldn't contain the pain that creped up on her, every time she thought about Elliot walking out with Elizabeth. It was almost as if he was walking out of her life. She eventually pulls herself together after about 10 minutes, and walks out.
Elliot finally comes back from lunch after about 40 minutes. He was so happy to get away from Elizabeth, she talked way to much, and she kept trying to get him to come to the side building and fuck her. He knew she was a bit loose, but damn, she wasn't loose she was Blown out. He laughed at that last thought and went to his desk. He didn't see Olivia so he figured Mike must have come back and they went to lunch together.
After about an hour, he began to worry, he looked around for Fin and he saw him standing over his desk.
"Aye Fin! Do you know where Olivia is?" He asked.
Fin shook his head. "Naaa about two hours ago, she came out here crying, and grabbed her stuff and said she would be back." He finished and went back to looking at his desk.
Elliot got up and went to the locker room, he was kicking himself in the ass for being such an ass hole to her. He didn't think it would hurt her, he just wanted her to get mad. He acted like a child, and he ended up hurting the person he loved and also wasting an hour of his life, talking to some hoe. He went back out to his desk, and decided to wait for her.
Eventually it was time for him to go home, Olivia never came back and he knew that she was really hurt by him. He left and went to his car, he drove to her apartment and saw that her car wasn't there. He looked up and saw that the lights were also out. He figured she just didn't come home yet. He parked and waited two hours, but she never showed up. He eventually gave up and went home.
When he got home, he went inside and found Kathy sitting on the couch watching Television. She looked up at him and smiled. "Hey honey." She said.
Elliot sighed and sat down in the chair across from her. "Kathy." He started, he wanted to tell Kathy about the divorce, he didn't want to hide anything from her.
She looked up at him "Yea?" she said, seeing that he was serious. She turned off the television and turned to him.
"I want a divorce." He said and waited for her to flip out.
She looked down at the floor, "No you don't." She said then stood up and walked away.
Elliot couldn't believe she just said that, he got up and followed her into the bedroom. "Yes I do, I want a divorce. I am calling out lawyer tomorrow, and getting the papers," He said, making sure she understood.
Kathy looked up at him. "What the hell for Elliot!" She yelled at him. "What happened that you don't want to be with me anymore?" She said as she began crying. "I have been so good to you, and you just want to leave me like this." She said as she sat on the bed.
Elliot wanted to hold her and tell her he changed his mind, but he knew he couldn't, he just felt bad for her. He held his own. "Because you changed, I don't love you anymore." As soon as he said that, she stopped crying and looked at him.
She stood up. "Fine then Fuck you! Leave then, I am the best thing you will ever have. I know there is some other woman. Ass hole!" She yelled.
Elliot finally decided to give her what she wanted. "Yea, there is another woman. Sorry but I am leaving you for someone else. Get over it." He said and her face changed from a mad one to a satisfied one.
"I knew it, I knew it, that's ok though. I was cheating on you anyway. Yea, remember Jake? Yea the mailman. Yea I have been sleeping with him for the past 3 months. Now what the hell do you have to say?" She said thinking she was hurting Elliot.
Elliot started laughing. "Wow the mailman, you could find anyone better?" He continued laughing. He was hurt that she was cheating but he was happy that he finally knew what her problem was, and that she didn't love him either.
Kathy gets even madder. "I am also pregnant." She said.
Elliot stopped laughing. "Whose is it?" He asked, he hoped it was his but he hoped it wasn't. If it was his, he was going to stay with her, if it wasn't he was gone.
"Not yours!" She said, turning her back to him.
"Good." Was all that Elliot said as he went into his closet and grabbed a duffle bag. He was not going to stay in this house any longer with that crazy woman. Besides she is carrying someone else's baby, he really didn't want to be around her anymore.
"Where are you going?" Kathy said as she watched him grabbed clothes.
"I am leaving, I am not staying in this house anymore." He said as he closed his bag, and stood up straight.
Kathy's face changed and she became sad. "Do you have to leave?" She asked, she didn't want Elliot to leave, it was true that she cheated but that was only because she knew he was cheating.
"Yea I got to go, I am going to stay at the precinct for a while until I can get an apartment. The house is yours, get a job, because I am not paying the mortgage, oh or you can just call the mailman." He said then put his wedding ring on the dresser and left.
Kathy followed him, "Please don't leave, I love you." She said, hoping that would change his mind.
Elliot turned around and looked at her. "No you don't. If you did, you wouldn't have cheated, you wouldn't have got pregnant, and you wouldn't have changed into a bitch" With that he left and got in his car.
Olivia was sitting at home, she left the precinct earlier and came home to feel sad for herself. She was so upset. She just came home and sat in front of the TV. and ate chunky money ice cream.
She was lost in thought until she heard a knock on her door, she didn't know who is was, she didn't buzz anyone up so she grabbed her gun off of her dresser and walked over to the door. She looked through the peephole, and saw that the person covered the hole with their finger.
"Who is it?" She asked, but didn't get a response.
She unlocked her door and opened it, aiming her gun at the person on the other side of the door.
"Whoa whoa, it's just me." Said her ex. Dean.
She put her gun back down and rolled her eyes, she put her gun back on her dresser and came back to see Dean sitting on her couch.
"What do you want?" She asked. She went on one date with him and she thought they would be together forever, but he turned out to be an ass hole. After that she never liked him, she never wanted to be around him.
"I can't come to see my beautiful friend?" he said smiling.
"How did you get up here?" She asked.
"Well someone was coming out and I got in before the door closed." He said looking at her up and down, reviewing her outfit, which consisted of shorts and a NYPD shirt.
She saw him looking and rolled her eyes, "what do you really want Dean?" She asked getting irritated by him.
"I wanted to know if you would like to go out with me again, you know I changed a lot, we can start over." He said smiling.
Olivia stood up, "How about no, you can leave now." She said pointing to the door.
Dean stood up and walked over to her, he tried to kiss her, but she moved and slapped him. "You can really leave now!" She yelled at him.
He smiled at her. "Aw come on Livy you know I missed you." He said.
Olivia slapped him again, this time for calling her Livy, she never liked that name. Dean grabbed rubbed his cheek.
"How many times are you going to hit me?" He asked.
"Until you leave." She said and put her hand on her hip.
Dean laughed at her behavior. "Gosh you have gotten mean, I am guessing that Stabler finally got in that ass..Oh wait no because he has a wife." Dean said.
Olivia slapped him again, and this time he grabbed her arm. "Stop being so mean, just face the fact that he doesn't love you." Dean said, letting her hand go. "You might as well just get over it, I mean where is he? At home with his wife, if he loved you he would be here right now." Dean said smiling knowing he was getting to her.
Olivia sat down on her couch and sighed. Dean was right, if Elliot really loved her he would be here with her. She knew he was going through a divorce but still. Maybe she was the only one in love.
Dean sat next to her, and saw that she was upset. He saw a tear fall from her eye, and he knew he went a little too far. He knew she loved Elliot but Elliot didn't love her. Dean loved Olivia and has loved her since he first met her. He was an ass to her on their first date, but it was only because he got dating advice from his friend, who sucked at dating. Dean felt bad about making her that upset, thought that maybe if he made her feel better. That she may want to be with him. Or at least give him some.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset." He said trying to make her feel better.
Olivia looked at him and stood up. "You can go now." She said, and pulled him up, she was now pissed and didn't want to be around him. That was his game, make her feel bad then try to take advantage of it. Of course, he was horrible at it.
Dean tried to talk to her, "Come on I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." He said.
Olivia rolled her eyes and began pushing him to the door, she opened the door and found Elliot standing on the other side, Immediately Elliot saw Dean and reviewed what Olivia had on, then began turning red.
