Chapter 10
Olivia looked at Terry for a moment and tried quickly to think of a reason that he could not come in, but before she could Terry lightly pushed past her and went inside.
"Hey girl." Terry said with a small smile on his face.
"Uhh Hey Terry, what are you doing here?" She asked a bit nervous, the last thing she wanted to happen was for Terry to trip when he sees Elliot.
"I can't come to see you?" He asked smiling a bit too hard for her liking. He looked around the house and looked at her. "What's wrong?" He asked taking a step closer to her.
"Nothing, can I help you?" She asked a bit nervous.
"Look, I did a lot of thinking; I want to be with you. I don't care what I have to do just tell me." He said pleading with her.
She looked down and shook her head. "No, I don't want to be with you ever again, I would appreciate it if you would leave now." She said opening the front door.
Terry looked at her and then at the door. He sucked his lips then started to move towards her, just when she thought he was going to hurt her, she heard a noise coming from the stairs.
She looked up and saw Elliot coming down the stairs; she had never been so relieved and worried at the same time.
Terry saw Elliot and looked back at Olivia, "So, you are dating Stabler?" He said obviously pissed.
"No, we are just friends, why does it matter anyway you and me are not together anymore." She said making a point.
Terry sucked his teeth, "Doesn't matter, you were mine first, so as far as I'm concerned you can't mess with him. Even If you and I are not dating." Terry said trying to make a point also.
Elliot walked behind her and looked at Terry. "Terry, why don't you relax, me and her are not dating, she invited me for dinner to catch up. Besides, what do you mean she was "yours" she isn't a piece of meat, you need to apologize." Elliot said challenging Terry.
Olivia looked between the two men, she didn't like confrontations.
Terry looked at Elliot then at Olivia. "You're making a huge mistake." Terry said looked at her then walking out of the door.
Olivia let out a breath that she had been holding, she turned around and looked at Elliot. "You didn't have to intervene, but thank you anyway."
Elliot smiled at her. "No problem, I would do anything for you."
She smiled at him and went into the living room and sat on the couch, with Elliot following. "So, how are things at work going?" She asked looking at him as he sat down next to her.
"Umm things are pretty good. Been working like normal, how are things for you?" He asked smiling at her.
"Well, except for the crazy ex. Everything is going great." She laughed.
Elliot looked at her, "What's wrong?" He asked her seriously.
She looked up at him and looked down at her hands. She was waiting for him to ask, she knew he could read her like a book. "Nothing, I am just trying to think out things." She said truthfully.
"What things?" He asked pressing the issue.
"I love you, but I don't know if I want to be back with you. I don't want to get hurt." She said looking up at him with tears in her eyes.
Elliot, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "I would never hurt you." He assured her.
She moved away from him and looked at him. "But you did. Even if it wasn't on purpose you did hurt me." She said upset.
He looked shocked. "How did I hurt you?" He asked confused.
She looked at him and wiped her eyes, she sighed aloud. "I would rather not say." She said not wanting to talk about it. She tried to stand up but Elliot lightly grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.
"Don't run from me Olivia. I am trying to talk to you about what's wrong and I want to talk about it, and find out what's going on with you. Please." He pleaded with her.
She sat back down and looked at him. "Elliot, remember prom night?" She asked him quietly.
He nodded his head. "Yes I remember. What about it?"
She stood up and turned her back to him. "Remember you told me you loved me." She said quietly.
"Yea." He said confused.
"Remember what happened after you told me you loved me?" She asked him quietly.
