A/N: Thanks for all the reviews!! And for the hate mail, thanks, you made me laugh!!
Olivia glanced at William as they stood in the grocery store. He was in his nice suit and had sunglasses on. "You know you're just drawing more attention to yourself with that suit. Should have worn jeans."
"Jeans are not professional clothing." He answered.
"You follow a lot of rules." She stated and looked at which yogurt she wanted.
"I like rules."
"Is that what the boot camp thought you?" She questioned with a smirk. He glanced at her and kept quiet. "My partner was a marine and he isn't as strict as you. He follows no rules at all."
He nodded a little.
"Am I annoying you?"
"Yes." He answered bluntly.
"Good." She smiled. "That's what happens when you take Cragen's side." She picked up a bag of baby carrots. "Do you think I need these?" He just stared at her with no emotion. "Guess not." She threw them back on the shelf. He followed her down the aisles as she shopped. "Hey are you married?"
"No."
"Girlfriend?"
"No."
"Does Cragen have any other relatives or it's just you?"
"Just me." He answered and looked around.
"Are you guys close?"
"Somewhat." He answered.
She nodded and threw a bag of chips in the shopping cart. "That's cool. So do you actually hold up conversations with him or are you quiet like now?"
"Depends."
"On what?" She asked. He glanced over at her again and kept quiet. "Does he lecture or yell when you do something stupid?"
"Yes."
"He does?" Olivia asked with a grin. "When did he last yell at you?"
He let out a deep breath. "Last Saturday."
"Why? Did you not have a tie on?" She teased with a chuckle.
"No."
"Then why?"
"Did anyone ever tell you that your compulsive need to dig through a person's life isn't attractive?"
"Yup. I hear it all the time." She nodded. "Did you get a girl pregnant or something?"
"No."
"Was it something stupid?"
"I'm not a child. I don't get yelled at for stupid things."
"Ok sorry." She rolled her eyes. "I should teach you how to hold up a conversation. That's probably why you don't have a girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend because I don't want one."
"Liar. Everyone wants someone."
"I don't. Relationships get in the way of work. "
"So you like your job huh?"
"Yes ma'm." He answered. She nodded and grabbed some Pepsi from the shelf. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
She pretended to think. "Well let's see, I invited Cragen's step son to sleep in my apartment and now he is following me around. No I don't, if I did, he would probably think we are sleeping together."
"Cynical huh ma'm?"
"Yes sir." She smiled. "Men are assholes."
"So you're a lesbian?" He tried his best to hide his smirk but it wasn't working.
She rolled her eyes. "No. Just because I'm a feminist doesn't mean I'm a lesbian. I'm attracted to men, just not assholes."
"Am I an asshole?"
"Are you flirting with me?" She questioned.
"Yes ma'm." he answered.
She smiled a little. "And yes you are an asshole." She winked and walked away. He followed and kept quiet again. "Are you going to tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"Why cap yelled at you."
He gulped a little. "I opened fire in a public place."
She looked over at him. "Why?"
"The person I was protecting almost got kidnapped. I shot at the perps in a public parking lot."
"So Cragen forgave you? Lucky."
"They attempted to kidnap a seven year old girl. He makes acceptations."
Olivia nodded a little. "Is the girl ok?"
"Yes."
Olivia nodded and proceeded to the check-out line. He followed. "I'm surprised Cragen didn't try to set us up."
"He is too protective over you. And apparently I'm too boring for boyfriend material." He answered simply.
"Wait." She looked over at him. "He talked about me?" He nodded. "What did he say?"
"Nothing. Just explained who you were and that I'm not allowed to date you." He answered.
Olivia raised an eyebrow at that. "And why not?"
"I don't question things." He answered.
"Oh fine." Olivia rolled her eyes. "Don't tell me." He smirked a little and stood by her as she paid for her things. He picked up the grocery bag for her. She walked out with him. "Hey can you take me to the precinct?"
"That's against the rules." he opened the back door for her.
She rolled her eyes and got in. He got in the driver's side. She moved closer again. "I won't take long." She pleaded.
"No."
"Please?"
"No." He started the car. "Where do you want to go?"
"A pizza place." She answered with a small pout. "24th and 8th."
He turned the car off. "I'm not stupid Ms. Benson. That is right down the street from the 1-6th. My orders were very clear; keep you away from the 1-6th and the courthouse." He turned to look at her. "Do I have to go over this again?"
"No." She groaned. "You got rules, I follow them. Got it Cragen Junior."
He shook his head and fixed his tie. He turned around again. "Where do you want to go?"
"You won't take me where I want to go." She crossed her arms on her chest. "We will just sit here all day. I can be very patient."
"I would take you to the precinct but that is against my orders."
She moved by him and rested her arm on his shoulder. "Ok listen William." She took his sunglasses off. "I know you like your job and for the time being, I respect your job. But if you don't let me go to the precinct to pick up one file that I need, I will not like your job." She pulled his tie down noticing that when someone spoke to him he actually listened and didn't get distracted. "If I don't like your job, I will be very mean to you. You don't want that." She messed up his hair. "And stop combing your hair like you're in 3rd grade."
He stared straight forward until she finished her small lecture. Once she was done, he fixed his hair and straightened out his tie. He turned around to look at her. "Ok listen Olivia. First of all, don't touch me; I don't like to be touched." He grabbed his sunglasses away from her. "And I will take you to the precinct. You have three minutes, I'm dead serious, we are in there more than 3 minutes, and I will personally drag you out in front of your detectives. Deal?"
She smiled. "Deal." She sat back in her seat.
He shook his head and put on his sunglasses. He started the car and drove off. He kept quiet like always until she spoke up again.
"Where is your biological father?"
"Tell me why that is your business?"
"I'm like Don's daughter, I should know."
"Well he can tell you if you're like his daughter."
"I bet he likes me more then you. I'm more fun to talk to."
"More of a pain in the ass? Yes I agree ma'm."
She smiled at him. She was slowly getting a crush on him since he was very honest with her. She was never around someone as quiet or as honest as he was. "Why were you in boot camp as a teen?"
"That is also none of your business."
"Oh stop being a jerk. I'm making conversation."
"I set things on fire and a prank went extremely wrong."
"What was the prank?" She questioned. He glanced at her in the mirror again. "C'mon share your feelings for once."
"My friends and I broke into an abandoned pool. We dared this small kid to jump from the highest platform. He did and broke his neck. It was either the juvenile center or boot camp. My mother and Don decided it was best that I went to Boot camp. So I did."
Olivia nodded. "Well I think it was the wise choice."
He nodded. "Thanks."
"You wouldn't be as strict and as military trained but I like the OCD William. Way more fun."
"I don't have OCD."
"Oh yes you do." She moved closed and pulled his tie down. He instantly fixed it. "See, you hate things to be out of place."
"That's called being neat. Try it once in a while."
She laughed. "See, right there, how can you hate someone that insults you in the cutest ways?"
He smirked a little and kept looking at the road. They finally got to the precinct. "3 minutes Ms. Benson. That's it." He got out of the car and opened it for her.
She got out. "Don't you want to say hi to your step dad?"
"No." He answered and led her up the steps. "Don't try to get lost either."
"Oh you ruin everything." She shook her head and went to the elevators.
A uniformed got in front of William spotting his gun. "Badge?" the young officer questioned.
William looked down at him. "Get out of my way kid."
Olivia smiled a little and turned around to look at William. "Juarez I think you need to escort this gentlemen out."
William shot her a look. "Five minutes." She raised an eyebrow. "Ten."
She grinned. "Its ok officer, he is with me." She grabbed William's arm and pulled him into the elevator. She smiled up at him and he just shook his head.
Another detective came into the elevator. "Hey Olivia." He glanced at William standing right by her. "Fed?" William didn't respond. "Guess that's a yes."
Olivia smirked. "William this is Detective Jones. Ben this is William Grant."
"Like the whiskey?" Ben chuckled. William looked over at him and then back at the doors. "Relax killer."
Olivia shook her head. "Don't worry about him. He forgets his sense of humor."
Ben nodded. "So are you going to call me after our date?"
Olivia instantly blushed. "I forgot. Sorry. Been busy with cases you know."
Ben nodded and put his arm around Olivia's shoulders. "You can always make it up to me." He whispered. William cleared his throat loudly. Ben ignored it. "I can take you on another date."
"I'm busy right now Ben, big cases. Sorry." She pushed his arm off her shoulders.
"Olivia c'mon, we had a great time." He moved closer. Olivia simply glanced at William. William instantly stood in between the two. Ben stared at William. "Dude get out of my way."
William didn't move or respond. Ben attempted to push him out of the way. William grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind his back. "You will not talk to her in my presence and you don't touch me again." He warned.
"I'm going to have you arrested for assault." Ben groaned.
"You can't prove anything." William let go of him and stood in his way from Olivia. Ben glanced at him and then Olivia. He got off on the next stop.
Olivia just stared at her bodyguard. "Wow you are useful."
William straightened out his tie and blazer. "Yes ma'm."
She grinned now finding it cute that he called her ma'm. Before she was annoyed, now she understood that he was extremely polite and that was just his way.
She got on her tippy toes and placed a kiss on his cheek. She smiled and looked straight forward just like him.
He blushed insanely and looked over at her. As soon as she looked at him, he looked away.
She laughed a little. "Awkward Mr. Grant?"
"Yes ma'm." He answered. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. He returned to his straight posture with his hands crossed in front of his body.
Olivia suddenly got a huge grin on her face. The elevator doors opened and she stepped out. He followed down the hall and to the squad room.
William stood by her desk as she looked for her files.
Cragen came out his office spotting them. "William." He motioned for him to come over.
"Excuse me." William said under his breath to Olivia and walked over to his step-father. "Yes sir?"
"Didn't I specifically ask you not to bring her here?" He asked in a whisper.
"Yes but she had to get something sir." He answered.
Cragen raised an eyebrow. "Get what?"
"A file sir."
Cragen smirked. "Apparently you haven't met deceitful Olivia yet. Take her home now."
"But sir-"
"No buts William, take her home. You know better than this."
"Yes sir." He nodded and turned to leave. Olivia was gone from her desk. "Oh c'mon." He looked over at Cragen. Cragen shook his head and went back to his office.
William took a deep breath and looked around for her. He went upstairs to check the locker rooms and the crib. She wasn't there. He went back downstairs.
He knew better then to fall for her charm. She was extremely talkative and somehow that attracted him. Most people didn't talk to him because he was so quiet mannered. She was very different.
He went out to the hallway and finally spotted her talking to someone. He walked over to her and kept quiet.
Olivia looked away from her partner she was talking to spotting William. "Oh hey, William this is Elliot my partner. Elliot this is William, the bodyguard." She smiled a little.
Elliot put out his hand. "Nice to meet you."
William shook his hand and spotted the tattoo on his forearm. "Marine?"
"Yeah." Elliot answered. "You?"
"Yeah. Where were you stationed at?"
"Desert Storm. You?" Elliot questioned.
"Desert Storm for a while then Afghanistan for two years." William answered. Olivia tried to walk away seeing the two were talking. William put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her back knowing she wanted to get lost again because she was bored at home.
Olivia rolled her eyes and stood there while the two discussed military weapons and their missions. She once again tried to sneak away. William pulled her back once again.
Casey came over to the two. "Who has the files on Mornings?" She looked at William that had his hand on Olivia's shoulder. "Hi."
"Hi." William nodded a little and put his hands behind his back.
Olivia smiled. "Girl talk." She grabbed Casey's arm and pulled her away before William could stop her.
Elliot shook hands with William again and excused himself to go to work.
William sat down by one of the windows being extremely annoyed the detective wouldn't let him do his job. He finally got up five minutes later to look for her. He spotted her by the vending machines. "Are you done playing these childish games?"
"Depends. Done treating me like a child?" She questioned and offered him soda. He shook his head. "Suit yourself."
"Ten minutes has been up." He answered. "Let's go."
"Sorry, did you get Elliot's number?" She chuckled.
"What?"
"You seemed talkative to him. You pitcher or catcher?" She burst into laughter.
"I'm not gay." He defended. "Did you make out during your alleged girl time?"
"I would have if your stalker ass didn't follow me everywhere." She smiled and went down the hall. He followed.
Olivia stopped in a sudden. William bumped into her by the instant. "What the hell?" He questioned and looked up.
Olivia stared at the perp that threatened her and attempted to attack her. There was no cops around him. He came on his own.
William instantly noticed the interaction. He quickly stepped in front of Olivia and placed his hand on his holster.
The perp kept staring at her. He started walking towards her.
William didn't budge. All he needed was to see a weapon so he could shoot him.
The perp punched William across the face and attempted to reach for Olivia. William instantly tackled him down. The man pulled out a knife. William pulled out his gun and pressed it to his head. "Put it down." He ordered. "Drop your weapon!"
"Freeze!" A couple officers yelled and pointed their weapons at William.
William looked up and didn't move. "Him first."
"Drop the gun!"
William pressed the gun more to the perps temple. "Drop the knife or I'm taking your life and they are taking mine."
Cragen ran out hearing the commotion. "It's alright." He ordered the officers down. "He is fine."
William punched the perp across the face and made him drop knife. He flipped him on his stomach. A couple officers ran over and handcuffed the perp. Some grabbed William. William instantly dropped his gun on the ground and placed his hands on the back of his head.
Cragen motioned for the officers to let go of his step-son. "It's ok." He told them and pulled William up. "My office. Go."
"Yes sir." He fixed his blazer and went to the office. Cragen followed him and closed the door behind him.
Olivia just stood there in shock. She completely froze. She never froze before. She glanced over at Cragen's office and spotted William standing in his military form and getting yelled at by her captain. It was all her fault.
