I'd like to thank Ren Victoria, Cfhonan, Gigi Barros, and SteffieDawn for reading and reviewing. It means a lot!

"Wow," David exclaimed as Olivia walked into the living room of her apartment wearing a knee length red dress with sparkles and a a plain pair of black high heels.

"You like?" she asked as she turned around for David to see the full look.

David nodded his head continuously as he kept his eyes on Olivia, "I love."

"We better get going," Olivia said grabbing her purse, "We don't want to be late."

"How did I get so lucky?" David questioned as they walked downstairs to meet the limo.

Olivia stopped in her tracks just before opening the door to the limo, "Do you mean that?"

David knew that he was Olivia's first serious boyfriend so he knew that she wasn't used to being pampered and he wished he had met her sooner. "Of course I mean it Liv. When I'm with you I never want to leave. You make me a better man."

"You're making me blush."

"Good," David said as he planted a passionate kiss on her lips, "Now we better get going."

When the limo pulled up to the fancy restaurant David stepped out first and walked over to Olivia's side to open the door for her. He offered her his hand for help and she gladly excepted.

"One if By Land, Two if By Sea?" Olivia asked, "David, this must have cost a fortune."

"You can't put a price on love," David said as he walked her inside.

"Hello welcome to One if By Land, Two if By Sea," the waitress greeted.

"Hi," David replied, "We have reservations under Haden."

The waitress pressed a few buttons on her computer to check the reservations and then called in her headset for a worker.

"Hello, I'm your waiter Jonathan. Would you please follow me to your table?"

David and Olivia followed Jonathan to a table near the crackling fireplace and were seated next to a window. Jonathan handed them their menus and took their orders.

"This place is beautiful," Olivia said as she took a look around.

The crackling fireplace was making small noise that was breaking through the small chatter all the couples were having. There was was a baby grand piano in the corner opposite where they were sitting that was playing the classic "Rose" from Titanic.

"Not as beautiful as the lady sitting across from me," David said showing his perfectly straight teeth white as pearls.

"I'm not really good at this relationship stuff," Olivia said, "I've never really done it before."

"It's okay," David said taking her hand across the table, "You're doing great."

Olivia smiled nervously and started thinking about how she could tell David about Elliot. Should she just come out and say that tomorrow she was going to see her ex-partner and the man she had been in love with for 12 years? She couldn't say that, it sounded ridiculous. She hoped that David would understand she was doing it for Lizzie. Maybe she didn't even have to tell David that Elliot was going to be there. She could just say Kathy would. That would be lying though and she didn't want to do that either.

"David I need to talk to you about something," she finally said.

"What is it?"

"Do you remember me telling you about Elliot?" she asked as the waiter brought their food over.

"Yes."

"One of his daughter's, Lizzie, is pregnant and she asked me if I would go with her to tell her parents tomorrow."

"Thank you," David said to the waiter before acknowledging what Olivia had said. "That's wonderful."

Olivia was appalled. She was expecting for him to be angry but it didn't seem that way at all, "You're not mad?"

"Of course not Olivia," he answered as he took a bite of his salad, "I know that he was your best friend for a long time. I trust you."

"I was expecting you to be mad," Olivia admitted.

"I'm not mad," David said taking another bite, "I could never be mad at you."

"Thank."

"Don't thank me," he said, "Enjoy the wonderful dinner."

Olivia smiled as he took her first bite of the salad she ordered. She had referred to it as the best salad she had ever had. After they both had dinner they ordered dessert. Triple chocolate cake.

"So you like chocolate?" David asked as he watched her devour the chocolate cake.

"Like isn't the word for it," Olivia laughed, "I love chocolate. Almost as much as I love the handsome man sitting across from me." Olivia offered a slight wink as she made the play on his words from before.

"I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much."

"That's because I haven't," Olivia admitted after taking her last bite of cake.

"I don't see how you have worked with Special Victims Unit for so long," David said, "Why do you do it?"

Olivia sighed at the thought of her job. She liked her job because she liked knowing that she was getting justice for victims but she hated her job because she hated the fact that there was a need for the special victims unit in the first place. She didn't understand why there were people like that.

"Somebody has to," she answered honestly.

"That's true. From what I hear you're pretty damn good at it too."

"I try."

"What do you say we head out for that romantic walk under the moonlight that I promised?" David asked sipping his last sip of red wine.

"I'd say let's go."

The night outside was perfect for a walk. The moon was shining and the air was cool and crisp.

"Dinner was great," Olivia said making small talk as they walked hand in hand down the path at Central park.

"It was," David said.

"Are you sure we should be walking through Central Park this late?" Olivia asked.

"It's only 9 o'clock," David said, "Besides, nothing is going to happen to you if I'm with you."

Olivia laughed, "Did you forget that I'm a cop? A badass one at that."

"I didn't forget," David chuckled.

"What if we didn't walk through the park and we went back to my place?" Olivia questioned giving him "the look."

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

"Is it working?" Olivia asked as she brushed the hair out of her eyes.

"Maybe," he teased.

Olivia stopped walking and turned around so her and David were face to face. She leaned into to him and they could feel each others hearts beating. She leaned in even closer and kissed him. If anyone was around it was impossible for them not to see the sparks flying.

"It's working," David said, "Let's head back to your place."

Olivia gave him one last kiss and then she stepped back at the sound of a woman screaming for help.
