Please review! You guys are so sweet!
A week went by faster than anybody anticipated. It was Friday. Elliot had his first football game of the season tonight. During her activity period, Olivia gathered the cheerleaders to practice again.
Since Olivia was head cheerleader and team Momma, she was brought in on the trick they were going to play on Elliot. Will and Mike led the project and told Olivia what to do. Olivia smirked as Elliot came up to her locker after school. This was going to be funny.
"Hey baby!" Elliot said kissing her cheek. "Hey!" Olivia smiled as she closed her locker. "Are you excited for the game tonight?" She asked. "Yeah, we have the best team. We have Shorty, Goober, Quinnefer, and New kid." Elliot smiled.
Olivia laughed. "You know they have names." "Yeah, but it's easier to remember those." Elliot smirked. Right after Elliot said that, a loud bang came from the locker room. "What was that?" Elliot asked. "I don't know." Olivia lied.
Will came running upstairs and barreling towards them. "Elliot!" He shouted. "Will, what is it?" Elliot said. Will grabbed Elliot's forearms. "It's the team, Elliot. During gym, we were playing basketball. The cart came out of no where. Everybody's hurt. Goober has a broken leg!" Will said.
"No!" Elliot yelled running down to the locker room. Olivia and Will smiled at each other and raced after him. When they got into the locker room, Olivia was a little shocked herself. Everyone had a cast on their body. She had to give them props for the fake blood.
"How... why...?" Elliot stumbled over his words looking at all the casts and cuts. "We're screwed!" Elliot breathed. "Hey Elliot, we can still play." Goober said. "Goober, you can't even walk without crutches. How are you going to run after the other team without falling on your face?" Elliot asked.
"Simple. I take it off." Goober smirked. "What? No, you are not damaging your leg anymore than it already is." Elliot said. "Well then I'd have to break it. Elliot, man, we're messing with you." Goober smiled removing his cast.
"Wha-" Elliot started. "We wanted you to relax for the game. We all knew." Fin smiled from the corner unwrapping his arm. "Everyone?" Elliot asked looking around the room. Olivia smiled and nodded with the rest of them.
Elliot stared at Olivia with a smirk on his face. "You let me worry like that?" Elliot asked. Olivia just smiled bigger. Elliot's eyes darkened from baby blue to navy blue in no time flat. Olivia's eyes widened. "No." She warned.
Elliot took a step towards her. "No!" Olivia warned again taking a step back. The rest of the team smiled. They knew that look. It was hunting time. Olivia took off with Elliot darting after her. Olivia ran up the stairs, down the hall, out the front doors, and out onto the sidewalk.
Olivia glanced behind her to find Elliot gaining on her. Olivia ran faster. She ran onto the football field and crossed the fifty yard line when Elliot grabbed. Her feet left the ground as he turned her the opposite direction she was going.
ELLIOT'S POV
He twirled her around when he lifted her up. Elliot laughed when he felt Olivia screaming and laughing at the same time. He laid her on the grass and crawled over her, effectively preventing her from going anywhere.
He sprinkled kisses on her as she chuckled. "You let me worry like that." Elliot said looking into her eyes. "Well, I thought about it and realized there's a couple of things that would worry you more." Olivia said rubbing his chest.
"Like what?" Elliot smirked bobbing his head a little. "Well, one would be if I had to go back to my mom." Olivia said. "That's a given." Elliot said. "Another would be if I told you I was pregnant." Olivia said. Elliot's eyes bulged out.
"What?!" Elliot asked. Olivia laughed. "I'm not pregnant El." She said. "Okay, just checking. I would be worried if you were pregnant, but Liv... I would be so happy. I love you. No matter what, I will love the babies we have together." Elliot smiled pressing his forehead against hers.
"I will too. We should probably get going. We're meeting your family for dinner at our diner. It's already five." Olivia smiled. "Fine." Elliot said letting out a breath. "What? A dinner with your family isn't that bad." Olivia chuckled.
"I know that, but I'd like to have dinner just you and me." Elliot said. "Well, tonight, we both get to be in the place where you told me you loved and vice versa. That's all I need... tonight." Olivia smirked. Elliot laughed.
"I will take you out on another date." Elliot said getting up and helping her up. "I know you will. I love you." Olivia said taking his hand. "I love you too." Elliot smiled. He hooked her arms around his neck so she could hold onto him.
Once she hopped onto his back, he started carrying her to truck. "Hey, I have an idea." Elliot said. "What is that?" Olivia asked kissing his ear. He groaned when she bit it lightly. "How about we go for a boat ride tomorrow? My dad bought a speed boat a few years ago. We could unload off of our dock." Elliot said. "That sounds wonderful." Olivia smiled.
Elliot and Olivia got to the diner around five twenty. The rest of the family was already there. They ordered and relaxed. "So, how was school today?" Bernie asked her kids. "Fine." Sarah and Rebecca. "Sure." Elliot and Olivia said at the same time.
Joseph and Bernie looked at the two. Elliot and Olivia looked at each other. "Why did you say that? I've been saying that for years. What you mean?" They both said and smiled. "I have a question. Why do you say sure when I ask you how your day went?" Bernie asked.
Elliot and Olivia both shrugged. "I figure it's sort of like fine." Olivia said honestly. Elliot pulled her closer and kissed her cheek. Olivia turned her head to kiss him on the lips. "That's what I say everytime they ask me." Elliot said. Olivia smiled at him.
They soon finished dinner and were at the school getting ready. Olivia helped the other cheerleaders hold up the sign they made for the football team. Elliot watched as she laughed with her sister about something.
Elliot looked back at the other players. They were ready to go. He looked at the cheerleaders. They were all looking at them. Elliot smiled at Olivia as she smiled at him. "Now!" Elliot yelled.
The team ran, busting through the sign as they went onto the field. The bleachers on both sides roared with cheers. The band played the music they picked out. He ran over to the coach where they were instructed to go.
The cheerleaders ran by them towards the concessions where they usually cheer. The coach gave them a pep talk and a plan. They all stood for the National Anthem and headed out onto the field.
Elliot watched as the ball flew through the air. Goober caught it and ran with it. Elliot ran with him, blocking him as best he could. Will caught up and guarded his other side. Goober was tackled fifty five yards away from the endzone.
Elliot heard the cheerleaders cheering from the sidelines. He smiled. The game continued. It was close. They were losing by two points at half time. The teams went to the benches as the cheerleaders went on.
Elliot watched Olivia. She was standing, then dancing, then on the ground kicking her legs in different directions, then suddenly on the top of the pyramid with her arms in the air. Elliot found it fascinating that she could move so quickly and fluently.
Pretty soon, the whistle blew. His coach told them what to do and they went onto the field. The game continued to be as close in score as it could. It was the last play of the game. The ball was snapped to Elliot. Elliot looked down the field.
He threw the ball down the field. He watched it soar and smiled when it went right where he wanted it to. Shorty caught and ran. The other team was running after him. Shorty jumped over a guy trying to tackle him. He weaved around a guy coming right for him.
He made it to the 50, the 40, the 30, the 20, the 10. The minute her reached the endzone, the crowd roared. Shorty threw the ball on the ground and started jumping around cheering. The team was running to him cheering the whole way. New kid even did a cartwheel!
Elliot took off his helmet and started jumping with his team. They beat the other team by six points. Pretty soon, the players that had girlfriends in the stands left still cheering. Elliot moved out of the crowd of players. He saw Olivia talking to Rebecca smiling and laughing. He noticed they were practicing a cheer he hadn't seen. He smiled.
That's when Olivia looked over at him. She smiled. Elliot started running over to her. She started running towards him. Elliot weaved through the people and met Olivia. He kissed her. Her hands went to his neck. His went to her waist.
"Good game!" Olivia smiled with her forehead resting against his. "Thanks. Nice cheers! I had quite a show." Elliot chuckled. "Thanks." Olivia laughed. "WOO!" Mike yelled right next to them. Olivia and Elliot laughed.
"Hey, we have an after party to go to. Or did you want to go?" Olivia asked. "There's food at the after party. Of course, we're going." Elliot said. "I just have to shower and change. You are staying in that, right?" He asked.
OLVIA'S POV
"Yes, I can. Hurry back." Olivia laughed and pushed him off with the team to go change. She ran back over to Rebecca. Olivia laughed as Rebecca jumped onto her back. Olivia carried Rebecca over to the family.
They were covered with hugs while Rebecca was still on Olivia. "You guys did a great job!" Bernie said. "Thanks!" Olivia and Rebecca said together. "I'm guessing you guys are going to after party." Joe assumed smiling. "Yeah, Elliot and I are going." Olivia said. "Jordan is taking me." Rebecca said getting off of Olivia.
"Okay, we'll see you after the party. You guys know to be home by midnight. I don't want you home any later than that." Joseph said. "Yes Dad." Rebecca groaned. "Becca, you gotta do it like this." Olivia said standing up straight. "Yes Joe!" Olivia saluted to Joe.
Joe saluted back to her laughing. Olivia smirked at Rebecca. "Show off!" Rebecca said. Olivia laughed. "C'mon, the guys are meeting us in the parking lot." Rebecca said tugging on Olivia's arm. "Okay, bye guys." Olivia said to the family chuckling.
JOSEPH'S POV
He watched them run off to the parking lot. "What are you thinking about?" Bernie asked him. "I'm just wondering how she turned out the way she did. How did we get so lucky to know her like a daughter? And, how in the hell did Elliot and her start going out? I knew it would happen, but I didn't think it would be this fast." Joseph said.
Bernie laughed. "You should talk to your son. He loves her very much. He sounds a lot like someone I know. Just look at the way they look at each other. You know that look. You've showed that look to me many times. You and I both know this is not ending anytime soon if they ever do. Joe, talk to him."
"Yeah, I will." Joe smiled. Just then, Sarah interrupted their moment begging to go home because she had homework. Joe laughed. "Do you need help with it?" He asked. "You have no idea." Sarah said. "Bernie?" Joe asked pleadingly. "Nope, your turn." Bernie smirked. Joseph groaned and started with his family towards the car.
You guys are great! Please review!
