Chapter 6

Olivia woke up the next morning to the smell of something she had never smelt before in her apartment, breakfast being cooked. She jumped up and put on a pair of shorts and top and walked out the bedroom. She looked at Elliot stood by the stove grilling bacon, and scrambling eggs, wearing only a pair of shorts. Christ was he trying to drive her insane, she couldn't believe how good his body was, and it was killing her not touching him.

"Morning" she said walking up behind him "Where the hell did you get all this from?"

"I woke up early" he lied. The truth was he had been unable to sleep thinking about Olivia lying not far from him; he had slept on and off for a few hours before getting up and going for a run. "I went for a run and picked this up on the way back" He piled it all on two plates and put on down in front of Olivia before getting fresh orange out the fridge.

"Enjoy" he said sitting down next to her. They both ate in silence Olivia trying not to think about Elliot's leg touching hers or the fact his topless body was just inches away from her.

"You okay Liv?" he asked her

"Erm yeah …why?"

"You have been sat with the same piece of bacon on your fork staring into space for a least a minute now"

"Oh right…..no I'm fine" she said popping the bacon into her mouth, her cheeks turning a rosy red.

"Okay" Elliot smirked finishing off his orange juice. "Do you mind if I jump in the shower first"

"No…No you go ahead "she said watching him leave the room. As soon as he left she banged her head down on the breakfast bar "For fucks sake Benson get a grip of yourself" she said.

"Did you say something Liv?" he asked sticking his head round the corner.

"NO! No. I never said anything "she said forcing a smile to him.

"Oh okay I thought I heard you talking" he said disappearing into the bathroom. Olivia sighed and picked up the breakfast dishes dropping them in the sink, turning on the water.

She had just finished washing the dishes when she heard the bathroom door open.

"All yours Liv" he shouted as he came into the living room with a towel round his waist drying his short hair with another towel.

Olivia stared at him unable to move or take her eyes off him; she licked her bottom lip before biting it as she looked him over. Elliot grinned and walked towards her.

"See something you like Benson?"

Olivia nodded "Huh"

"You know I don't mind breaking the rule on taking things slow" he said his voice low and deep. Olivia swallowed hard and took a deep breath.

"Yeah but I do" she said her voice shaky. "I'm going for a shower. Get some clothes on" she said walking past him and slamming the bathroom door.

Elliot grinned to himself and looked down, damn it he seem to be constantly hard around her, he was like a teenager again, unable to control himself. He knew he would need to take care of it as he would be spending most the day with her looking at the apartment. He needed to get away from her if he had any chance of taking this slow, he couldn't be around her last thing at night and first thing in the morning. He couldn't control himself.

Olivia closed the bathroom and turned on the shower. She stripped off and noticed the damp patch in her shorts, damn him she cursed, how did he manage to have this effect on her. She knew he was finding it hard as well, she had noticed the towel starting to stick out. She climbed under the hot spray and sighed as it washed over her head and body. She washed her hair then picked up the soap and began washing herself, straight away her mind wandered to Elliot, god she wished he were In here with her. Elliot would need to go. She couldn't have him around all the time until they were both ready to take this relationship to the next level. Physically she knew they were ready but mentally she knew they had a lot to sort out. Monday morning she decided she would go to see Haung she needed to talk to someone about what was happening.

They sat in the car in silence as they drove to the apartment for Elliot to have a look at. Before they left Elliot had told Olivia he was going to stay at Fins for a few days until he sorted the apartment out. Although she knew it was for the best she still found herself upset that he was going. As they pulled up to the apartment Elliot turned to look at her.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No of course not"

"Cause it seems like you are, like I've done something wrong"

"You haven't done anything wrong, let's just go and look at the damn apartment" she said climbing out the car and slamming the door and walking round to the apartment entrance.

"Hi you must be Mr Stabler…and is this your beautiful wife?" he asked shaking Elliot's hand.

"No." said Olivia staring at Elliot "I'm just his work partner"

"Oh I'm sorry, well if you come this way I will show you around. It comes furnished with everything but beds, we find people like to bring or buy their own beds." He said as they walked into the hall way. "Apart from the beds it will be ready to move into by Tuesday if you decide to take it"

"That will be great, the sooner the better" said Elliot glaring at Olivia still wondering what the hell he had done wrong.

After looking round the place Elliot told the man he would take it. It was perfect for him and Eli and still enough space for the other kids if they came to stay. The agent said he would get the paper work sorted and meet him there 12pm Tuesday to get everything signed.

They got back in the car. Instead of starting the engine and driving they just sat in silence.

"Liv what the hell did I do wrong?" he asked her unable to take the silent treatment anymore.

Liv sighed "You did nothing wrong, I'm sorry…I'm just finding it hard. I know I said we had to take it slow but…."

"I want you like crazy" said Elliot "all the time, it's all I can think about, which is why I asked Fin if I could stay there" Olivia looked at him. "I can't risk everything for one stupid thing we might do and then regret in the morning. You were right Liv as much as I hate to say it. I need to sort my shit out before we take this any further, and I can't do that living in the same place as you"

"I know" she said "But I'm going to miss you, I like having you around"

"Hey you can always visit and don't forget you promised me a date" he smiled at her starting the engine. "So you coming to Fins to hang out and have a beer or do you want taken home"

"May as well join you at Fins"

"Okay…we need to go via the station though to pick up keys"

"Wow feels a bit strange coming in here" said Elliot as they walked into the squad room "I know it's only been 6 months but it was my life for so long"

"Yeah well we miss you to" she said bumping his shoulder "Although I'm sure the guys will deny that"

The squad room was quiet when they entered fin and Munches desks were empty. They walked up to Cragen's door and knocked.

"Come in" he said. Olivia walked in followed by Elliot. Cragen looked up and smiled getting out his seat and walking round his desk to shake Elliot's hand.

"Sorry to hear about Little Eli" he said.

"Cheers Cap, still getting my head around it myself.

"Fin says to give you these, him and Munch have just gone on a shout" he said handing him a set of keys. "He says to make yourself at home and he will see you sometime tonight" Elliot took the keys and put them in his pocket. "Do you have time to stay for a chat?" Cragen asked him.

"Erm Yeah sure"

"I will wait outside when you talk" said Olivia leaving.

"Take a seat Elliot" he said sitting himself on the edge of the desk.

"How's computer crimes?"

"I hate it, never been so bored in whole damn life" Elliot said laughing.

"Look I know you left here cause of pressure from Kathy and the birth of Eli, not because it was best for you….how would you feel about coming back"

"Cap I would love to but I'm goin for joint custody of Eli and with computer crimes I would be home every night"

"How about if I promised you the days you had Eli you wouldn't be on call during the nights for those days, and I'm sure we could work the shifts so you get some of your days off over that time, and if you're not off you can paperwork there is a crèche downstairs for employers kids so he wouldn't be too far from you."

Elliot sat a bit stunned he hated having to leave and the chance to come back would be great.

"Could I have time to think about it? I have a meeting with my lawyer Monday I will run it by him see if he thinks it will hinder my chances for custody"

"Sure Elliot I will run up a proposal for how we will run the shifts so you can show him…. it would be great to have you back"

"Just one more thing though Cap. If something were to happen between me and Olivia how would stand then"

Cragen shook his head and smiled "You know I have been waiting for years to be asked that question, but honestly I don't know, I have been told you couldn't be partners but nothing about same unit. In fact I have never seen anything in writing officially so I don't know" he laughed.

Elliot stood up "Cheers Cap I will let you know as soon as I can" he said shaking his hand and leaving, feeling even happier than he was before he arrived here. Everything was slowly coming together. If he could just get Eli then his life would be perfect.
