William looked straight forward with his hands to the side.

Cragen had his arms crossed on his chest. "Didn't I tell you to take her home?"

"Yes sir."

"And you didn't because?"

"I got distracted sir."

"You're off this William."

"But sir-"

"No buts, the man you pointed your weapon at is getting his bail revoked. Your services aren't needed anymore."

"With all due respect, you are not my client sir."

"I hired you. You're done. You did your job, it's time to move on." Cragen ordered.

"What if that guy had a partner sir?"

Cragen moved closer to him. "You are getting attached to her."

"No sir."

"Yes you are William." His voice was much softer now. "Go home."

For the first time William actually looked over at him when he was getting lectured. "I did my job sir?"

"Yes."

He nodded and left the office. As soon as he did, Olivia approached him. "William-"

"Stay away from me." He ordered and kept walking. He fixed his tie and blazer and went to the elevators.

Olivia quickly ran after him. "Wow. Wait a minute." She stopped the elevator doors from closing. "What's going on?"

"Nothing. You're on your own again like you wanted." He answered. "You mind?" he pointed at her hands.

She stepped into the elevator with him. "What did Cragen tell you?"

"What I needed to hear." He answered. He knew he was getting attached to her. He never got attached to his clients. It was against his rules.

"Did he fire you?"

"I did my job. Your suspect is in jail and you're safe. It's the end."

"End of what?"

"My job." He answered.

She nodded a little. "So I was just a job huh?"

He looked over at her. He had nothing to say. He looked back at the doors and kept quiet.

"Fine." She crossed her arms on her chest. "You were just a pest anyway."

"It was my job."

"Yes I know." She snapped. "It's your job. But William, it's just a job. It's not the end of the world if you screw up."

"I didn't screw up."

"Really?" She looked over at him. "We're in the precinct aren't we? You screwed up as much as I did."

He nodded. "You're right. I did screw up." The doors opened at the first floor. He fixed his tie. "Nice meeting you Ms. Benson." He left.

Olivia just stood there. Why was she so attached to him? She knew him for only two days and was already caring more about him then she ever did for a boyfriend.

She went up to the squad room already and instantly went to her captain's office. "Cap can I talk to you?"

"What's up?" Cragen questioned as he put his pen down.

"It wasn't William's fault we were here." She closed the door behind her. "I made him bring me here."

"I know. He knows better than to give into requests he knows he isn't supposed to."

"I screwed up cap, not him."

Cragen nodded. "Ok." He leaned back in his seat. "Did he tell you why he joined the marines?"

"No."

"After he got out of boot camp, he went back to his old ways. Getting in trouble and having cops bring him home at two in the morning. Once he hit 18, he would be going to jail and not getting a pass because I was a cop. He joined the marines because that was the only way to keep him grounded."

Olivia nodded a little. "So he follows all these rules so he doesn't become self destructive again?"

"Yes." He nodded. "The ma'm and sir part, that just lets him remind himself that he has to follow the rules."

"You make him sound like he is out of his mind."

Cragen smiled a little. "Olivia, take the day off. And whatever you do, don't get attached to William."

"Why not? I'm a bad influence?" She raised an eyebrow.

He leaned over the table a little. "No. That's the bad part. He can tell who is a bad influence on him. He stays away from those people. He is getting attached to you, that's why he gave into your request to come here."

She nodded a little. "Yes sir."

"Now you sound like him. Go home." He went back to his paperwork.

Olivia got up and left the office. She sat down at her desk for a while and searched William Grant. She printed out his driver's license and left before her boss saw her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

William ironed his Marine uniform when he heard a knock on the door. He put the iron down and went to his door. He opened it without checking who it was. Olivia was standing there. He didn't say a word.

Olivia raised an eyebrow and noticed he was in a white tank top and still in his dress pants. "Can I come in?" He said nothing and walked away. He left the door open. She came in and closed the door behind her. "Are you mad at me?"

"No." he answered and put the military issued jacket on a hanger.

Olivia noticed his tattoo on the back of his shoulder. It was the Marine Corps logo. "Nice tat."

"Thanks."

She looked around his apartment. It was extremely neat. Even the coffee table was clean and the remote controls were neatly arranged. "Wow you have a lot of time on your hands if you keep your house this clean."

"How do you know where I live?"

"Drivers license." She held up the paper. "I searched you."

"So much for privacy." He mumbled and went to his bedroom.

She looked around and spotted a picture of him and Cragen. William was in his camouflaged uniform.

He came out of the bedroom. "What do you want?"

"I came to apologize."

"You have nothing to apologize for."

"I feel like I do. I made you break the rules and you got in trouble for it."

"I made my own choice. You didn't make me do anything." He shook his head. "You have nothing to apologize for."

She nodded. "Ok. But what if I came to make up for you having to tackle a guy for me?" She smiled.

He didn't smile. "That was part of the job."

She rolled her eyes. "Ok fine. I came to make out with you."

He smiled. "That's against the rules."

She walked over to him. "I was never a fan of listening." She slowly grabbed his tank top and pulled him down. She pressed her lips to his.

He placed his hand on the back of her neck and pulled her against his body. She instantly wrapped her arms around his neck.

William softly broke the kiss. "Go to dinner with me."

"Is that a demand?"

"No ma'm." He whispered. "It's an offer."

"As long as you don't call me Ma'm on our date. Deal?" She smiled against his lips.

He grinned. "Yes ma'm."

She nodded. "You might need a shirt." She winked and went to sit in the living room until he got ready.

He nodded a little and went to his bedroom. He came back with a dress shirt on and it was tucked in. "Ready."

She got up and went over to him. She pulled his shirt out of his pants and let it hang loose. "Now you're ready." She grabbed his hand and led him out of the apartment.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia slowly opened her eyes feeling completely naked except for the soft linen against her body. She turned to the side and noticed she was in William's room. She sat up a little with the sheet covering her chest. William wasn't in bed with her. "Will?"

He came out of his walk-in closet with a clean, white dress shirt in hand. "Yeah?" He already had on a tank top that was tucked in his loose, black dress pants.

"Where are you going?" She ran a hand through her messy hair.

"Work." He answered and pulled on his dress shirt. He looked in the mirror as he buttoned it up. He grabbed his black, leather belt and pulled it on. "I left some coffee and breakfast in the kitchen if you're hungry."

"Thanks." She put her head on the pillow again and watched him. He was very proper even when dressing.

He nodded and tucked in his shirt. "You're welcome." He sat down on the bed next to her to put on his shoes. "Don called this morning, reminding me not to go after you." He smirked and looked over at her. "You mind keeping this secret for a little while?"

"No." She shook her head. "Me dating the step-son of my boss isn't something the other detectives would cheer me on for."

He smiled. "I'm glad we agree on that." He tied his dress shoes and got up to grab a tie and blazer. "You can let yourself out in case you want to sleep more."

"What time is it?" She looked around.

"5:30" He answered.

Olivia stared in shock. "I'll let myself out. Why are you up this early for work?"

"I like to get a head start on things." He found his holster and pulled it on. He pulled on his blazer and straightened out his tie. "I'll see you later." He leaned down and gave her a kiss. "Have a nice day."

She grinned instantly. "You too."

He left the room and then the apartment. Olivia laid there for a couple minutes until she got up and got dressed in last night's clothing. She went to his kitchen and found the breakfast he made.

She sat in his living room and watched TV as she ate the breakfast. She noticed a letter from the Marines still open on his coffee table. She couldn't help but look at it.

She read over the letter and closed her eyes realizing he was getting deployed to Iraq. This wasn't fair. Every time she got close to someone they left her. He was leaving in two days.

She threw the letter back on the coffee table and simply left his apartment. He used her. All he wanted was sex before he left and he got it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

William glanced at the clock in his apartment. 6:28 PM. He called Olivia over the day but all he got was voicemail so he left a message. She didn't call back. He grabbed his phone and paced around as he dialed her number.

He waited as it rang. Once again, she didn't answer him. It went straight to voicemail meaning she rejected his call.

He closed his phone and called his step-father. Don instantly answered knowing William didn't call unless he needed something. "What do you need William?"

"Is Olivia still at work sir?" William questioned and kept pacing back and forth.

"Why?"

"She's not answering her phone."

"No, not why are you asking. Why are you calling her?" Cragen questioned

"I…um…I misplaced something and was wondering if I dropped it in her apartment when I was surveying." William answered. "Is she in the precinct?"

"No. She went home two hours ago."

"Oh. Ok. Thank you sir." William answered and hung up. He sat down on the couch completely not understanding what happened. They had a nice time last night and this morning seemed fine. He knew he wasn't the most entertaining person in the world but Olivia seemed to be smiling when she was around him. She couldn't have been bored by him and not wanting anything to do with him anymore. Could she?

He sat there for almost half an hour trying to understand why she changed her mind about him. He couldn't come up with anything. He finally decided to let it go. He got up and started to pack his stuff for his deployment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia laid on her couch and stared at her cell phone. She had a missed calls and a voicemail from William. She didn't call him back once.

She thought he was different. He seemed different then other ones. She was wrong. He used her just like the other ones.

Her phone started ringing again. This time it was Cragen instead of William. She answered it. "Benson."

"Hey, William called looking for you. He was wondering if he left something in your apartment."

"No." Olivia answered. "He didn't."

"Ok just checking because he said you weren't answering your phone."

"Yeah." Olivia lied. "I was in the shower. Didn't hear it."

"Alright I'll let him know. Well goodnight."

"Goodnight." She hung up her phone and sat there for a couple seconds. She finally got up and left the apartment. She headed to William's apartment.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

William sat in his kitchen staring at the food he made. He wasn't even the mood to eat. He kept thinking about her. What the hell was she doing to him?

He played a little with his food and took small bites. A knock on his door interrupted him. He got up and answered it. "Olivia." He whispered seeing her standing there.

"What do you want?" She questioned harshly. "You called me like five times William."

He just stood there taken a back. "I…um…sorry." He moved out of the doorway. "Come in."

She came in and turned to look at him. "I'm not some whore you can just call when you want to get laid."

He closed the door behind him. "I wasn't doing that." He shook his head. "I thought…never mind. Sorry."

"Thought what?" She crossed her arms on her chest.

"Nothing." He shook his head and walked past her. "It was a misunderstanding." He cleaned his table from all the food.

She stared at him fiercely. "What was? I want to get over this and move on."

He looked up at her. "Move on? You seemed like you moved on when you didn't answer my calls. You can get over it and move on, I don't care anymore." He placed the plate in the sink.

"You're an asshole. I actually thought you were different." She stated and shook her head. "I can't believe I actually came here."

"Why did you come here?" he crossed his arms on his chest. "To mock me? I thought you were different also. Apparently not."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"You know what it means!" He snapped. "You're a fucking tease and you know it! Last night you acted like everything was great. This morning you we're smiling and flirting. Now you want to end it? Make up your fucking mind. You either like me or you don't. Don't show me what I can have and then take it away."

"You want to talk about taking something away?" She took a step closer. "You used me! You wanted ass and now you are getting deployed. C'mon William, talk about being a tease. You're the fucking tease, not me."

He tilted his head to the side. "How did you know I was getting deployed?"

She stuck her hands in her pockets. "I saw the letter on your table this morning."

"So you think I just used you?"

"Well yeah."

He shook his head. "Just because I'm leaving doesn't mean anything. For me at least. I still want to see you."

Olivia didn't know what to say. She was never in a long distance relationship. "I can't do this now William. I haven't had a boyfriend in months. A boyfriend half across the world is the last thing I need."

He nodded a little. "Fine."

"I'm sorry." She gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "It's nothing personal." He didn't say a word and just stood there. "Bye." She whispered and went to leave his apartment.

"It was nice meeting you." He spoke up before she left.

She turned a little to take a glance at him. "You too." She stated and left the apartment.
