Chapter 10

Olivia looked at Haung; he could see the shock and panic on her face.

"Shit!" she yelled making a move to go after him. Haung grabbed her arm.

"Olivia don't. Give him time to take in what he just heard"

"No! I need to talk to him"

"If you go out and try and talk now without giving him time to think about what he just heard, on top of everything else that is happening in his life, it might be too much for him"

"I can't just leave it I need to explain" she said with panic in her voice, what the hell had she just done.

"You stay I will talk to him, just try and calm down"

Haung walked out and stood on the porch looking for Elliot. He spotted him down on the small jetty sitting looking out over the lake. He took a deep breath and walked down towards him.

"I'm okay Doc" said Elliot not turning round. Haung kicked his shoes off and sat by Elliot letting his feet drop in the water. Elliot looked over to him "I'm fine Doc".

"Okay"

They both just sat not talking for a while.

"Is she okay?" Elliot asked.

"She's afraid."

"Of me I would never hurt her"

"She afraid that by telling you she will ruin the relationship that you both have"

"She still should have told me"

Haung stood up and picked up his shoes. "Just like you have told her?" he asked him as he started to walk away. "Everything that happens between you both now is up to you Elliot. Accidently or not Olivia has shown her feelings you need to let her know one way or another". He started to walk away as Elliot jumped up.

"I have always Loved her…I'm in Love with her"

"So tell her" he said walking back to the house.

Olivia watched Elliot and Huang sitting on the jetty, how could she have been so stupid just shouting it out like that. She walked outside and stood on the porch her arms folded in front of her as she watched them not able to hear what they were saying. She seen Haung stand up and begging to walk away before Elliot jumped up and said something to him. Haung walked towards as she walked down the steps towards him.

"How is he?"

"You should talk to him Olivia, something's I can't help with" he said walking past her.

She sighed and walked down towards Elliot, she felt a knot in her stomach as she closed the gap and he watched her waking towards him, her legs felt like jelly.

"Hey" she said as she got close.

"Hey" he replied stepping closer to her so they were almost touching. "So…"

"I'm sorry" Olivia whispered.

"I'm not" he whispered back, lifting her chin up so she had no choice but to look him in the eyes. "I'm glad you said it" he said his voice low "Cause I've been too scared to say it to say it to you Liv"

"You what?" she asked their lips barely touching, "What were you to scared to say"

"That I love you" he said his lips brushing against her softly as he spoke the words she had been wanting to hear. He took hold of her hands "I love you Liv". His mouth found hers again and he kissed her gently their lips parting slightly, so they could taste each other. Elliot broke the kiss and dropped his forehead against hers. "It feels so good to finally say that out loud to someone, to you" he said.

"It feels so good to hear it" she sniffed as the tears started again. Elliot pulled his head back and wiped the tears away.

"What's with the tears?"

"I was so scared you wouldn't feel the same and I would lose you altogether"

"You know to say we are both cops we were pretty slow at solving out we both felt the same" he said putting his arms around her and holding her tight. He felt her laugh against his chest.

"Yeah I guess we did suck a bit…So what happens now"

"I don't know. I have thought about this moment for so long and now I don't know what we are supposed to do." His hands moved up and down her back gently. "I guess I should take you out on a date or something" He said "Get to know you" he laughed.

"What's left to know about each other El we have been together longer than most married couples"

"Oh I'm sure there are some little things to find out" he said moving back and smirking. She smiled back at him, and kissed him again starting soft and gentle their lips only just touching, he ran his hand through her hair pulling her closer the kiss becoming harder as their lips parted, Elliot's tongue ran along her bottom lip before slipping in and finding her tongue as they fought for dominance. Olivia ran her hands down his sides resting them on his waist.

"Liv" he gasped as their mouths parted "We need to stop" he said as he felt the ache in his groin, Christ if just kissing her had this effect god help him later on.

"Why what's wrong?" she asked looking worried.

"Nothing….it's just erm…I'm just , your kinda having a quick effect on" he said nodding downwards.

"Oh right" she said slightly blushing "Do you want to stop?"

"I don't want to but I think we better" he laughed. "Why don't we get a drink and calm down a bit"

Although disappointed that he wanted to stop she nodded In agreement and turned away slightly pissed off, that he wanted to cool things down, she had wanted this for so long, she started to walk back towards the lodge.

"Liv. I don't want to rush this. I don't want to fuck this up. After everything that I have screwed up this last month, I couldn't handle something going wrong with you cause we rushed things, I couldn't handle that. Please don't be angry" he pleaded with her.

Olivia turned around and held out her hand "Come on" she said as he took hold of her hand and they walked towards the lodge "You can make me a coffee" she smiled. "Then I need to pop to the nearest town for a while to pick up some stuff"

Elliot looked at her "Oh like what?"

Olivia smiled and raised her eyebrows "You will find out later don't worry" she smiled nudging him "I want to do this right as well, god knows I've fucked up enough relationships in the past. We have waited 12 years why rush things now"

"Thanks Liv" he said pulling her to his side and putting his arm around her " Just don't be too long in town"

Oh I won't she thought, she didn't want to spend any time apart from him if she could help it.

I'm thinking it could be getting close to them doing the naughty soon, hope your all enjoying reading this as much as I am writing it.
