Thanks for the reviews! Here's a steamy chapter!
When Olivia finally stopped walking she found herself in front of Elliot's house. She knocked on the door hoping he would answer.
"Hey Olivia," Kathy said, "Just a second and I'll get Elliot."
Olivia nodded and waited for Elliot to come to the door making sure there was no evidence of tears.
"Liv?" Elliot asked surprised to see her there, "What's up? What's wrong?"
"When we were partners," Olivia began, "I would come to you when I had a problem."
"You still can," Elliot said, "I still want to be your best friend."
"That's why I'm here," Olivia laughed, "Two people were killed because we didn't find the right people in time and I blamed myself. Then I went home and blamed David."
"Olivia," Elliot said, "I don't think you actually blame him. I think you are just scared to get married."
"I am," Olivia admitted.
"I think you should go home and talk to David," Elliot said.
"I want you to be at my wedding," Olivia said, "I want you to be in the front row."
"I'd love to be at your wedding, in the front row."
Olivia smiled and was happy that she had her old partner back. Elliot smiled too. He was happy for Olivia, he had to admit it.
"I'll see ya later," Olivia said as she turned to walk away.
"See ya Liv."

Before walking back into her apartment she gathered her thoughts and took a deep breath. She was preparing for David to be angry at her.
"David, I am so sorry for earlier," Olivia said seeing him on the couch.
David didn't say anything, just sat up and looked at her.
"I don't blame you for being mad and I don't blame you for the case I just... I'm scared to make a commitment."
"I know," David said motioning for her to sit next to him. "Olivia I told you that I loved you and that I would wait. I'll wait forever if that's what you want. Having a wedding isn't going to make the commitment that we already have."
Olivia let out a breath that she didn't realize she was holding and let her shoulders relax, "You really are the perfect guy."
"I try," David smiled.
"I love you," Olivia said, "And for the record, I do want to marry you. Soon."
"That's a good thing because tomorrow, I have a huge surprise for you."
"I hate surprises," Olivia smiled laying her head into the crevice of David's neck.
"Too bad," he laughed.
"Pleeeese," Olivia begged, "I've had a bad day."
"Nope," he replied, "I'm not telling you and you can't make me."
"Want to bet?" Olivia climbed into David's lap and kissed him on his neck.
"I'm still not going to tell you," he chuckled kissing her back.
"That's okay," Olivia said in a sexy voice, "I think I'll be pretty busy tonight."
David stood up holding Olivia in his arms and carrying her into the bedroom. "Forget everything about today."
"I already have," she whispered.
