Olivia ran into the house and looked behind her to find Daniel and Nick still a block away. She chuckled and closed the door. "Ms. Benson!" Elliot called walking through the house. He walked into the living room and saw Olivia standing in a black sports bra and gray spandex capris. "Where have you been?" He asked admiring the skin that was showing.
"I went for a run with the boys." Olivia said pointing towards the door. "Why?"
"Well, I forgot to tell you that you would be walking with me on the red carpet. The kids will be with us also, but I forgot to tell you that you'd be with me." Elliot explained to her, watching her eyes get wider. "Is there something wrong?"
Olivia paused and put her hand on her hip. "Are they going to ask me questions?"
Elliot shrugged. "They might, but I will be there with you to help you. Just, don't say anything about your personal life and you should be fine." Olivia nodded before the boys walked in. "Hey! You guys need to get into shape. Your nanny beat you."
"You go running with her next time." Daniel said breathing deeply before going upstairs.
"Maybe I will." Elliot called after him before looking at his youngest son. "Nicolas, how was the run for you?"
Nick nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "It wasn't bad. The only reason I didn't stay up with Liv is because Daniel tripped over a garbage can." Olivia chuckled and watched as he went upstairs.
Elliot smiled and looked at Olivia. "Do you go for these runs everyday?"
"Usually every other day. I try to go early in the morning before you guys wake up." Olivia explained looking through the mail. "If you wanna join me, you can. I'll wake you up." She winked before heading upstairs to shower.
Olivia trotted downstairs and into the kitchen wearing her towel. She had already dried her hair, but hadn't picked out what she wanted to wear yet. She walked to the counter and grabbed a banana before peeling it open. She smiled when John walked in. "Hey John!"
John dropped his tray when he turned to look at her. "Ms. Benson!" He said breathless looking at her attire.
"John, are you okay?" Olivia asked as he picked up his tray and dishes. "I've never seen you drop anything. Of course, I've only been here a week."
"I'm okay. I was just surprised to see you." John explained not mentioning the fact that the other nannies did not prance around in a towel. "Mr. Stabler will be in here shortly."
Olivia took a bite of her banana. "Okay." She leaned against the counter with her back, facing John. "So, what does the nanny usually do?"
"Well, she takes the children to their playdates, gets them ready for school, makes them get their work done when it's supposed to be done." John explained putting dishes into the dish washer. "She also dusts the house."
Olivia looked at John with a raised eyebrow. "John, are you trying to put your work on me?" John rolled his eyes and ducked down to put more dishes in the washer.
"Woah, Ms. Benson!" Elliot said wide eyed walking into the kitchen with Alex behind him.
"Yes, Mr. Stabler?" Olivia asked with a smirk before biting into the banana again.
Elliot took in her long legs and the hint of cleavage that the towel was allowing him to see. "This is very inappropriete for the children to see. A nanny is supposed to be proper."
Olivia smirked and tossed ther peel into the garbage. "The kids went to their friends' houses a hour ago. Daniel drove them over. He is sixteen after all." She stated matter of factly. "Besides, I have a date tonight."
"A date?" Elliot asked moving closer to her.
"Yeah, I will leave at seven after I read Katie her story." Olivia nodded crossing her arms over her chest. "Is there a problem with that?"
Elliot paused. He wanted to saw there was, but he couldn't think of anything. "I guess not." He furrowed his eyebrows slightly felt a jolt run through him when she kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, Mr. Stabler!" Olivia grinned before walking upstairs in her towel. She turned to look at Alex. "By the way, if you don't close your mouth soon, bugs are going to start flying in."
Alex closed her hanging jaw before straightening herself out. "Elliot, she is being completely inappropriete. Are you sure she is good for the children?" She asked as John handed Elliot a brandy.
Elliot nodded. "I'm sure. The children need something different. We all do. And, I believe that my children would rather be with her than with me." With that, he walked out of the room, leaving Alex and John alone.
"Jealous, are we?" John asked with a smirk.
"Jealous? Ha! Why would I be jealous? Ms. Benson is a nobody from the other side of town. She is completely from a different class. Elliot would never go for someone like her." Alex scoffed sitting down on the stool by the counter. "Make me some tea, will you?"
John started making her tea. "Mr. Stabler's last wife was from another class. He doesn't like the woman of his class. They are too snobby."
Alex gasped. "I am not snobby! I'm just not used to the life of the underclass." John rolled his eyes. "I can be down to earth and loving."
"Really?" John asked handing her the cup of tea.
"Shut up!" Alex growled before walking out of the room.
John smirked and started washing the tea pot. "That's why I only use the dirty dishes for her."
Olivia walked into the living room ready for her date. She had a black dress on that was off the shoulder. It went down to her mid thigh and she was wearing black strappy heels with it. She smiled when she saw Katie holding a book in her hands. "Hey sweetie, are you ready for your story?" Katie smiled and nodded. "Okay then!" She grinned before sitting down, starting the story.
She had just ended the book when John walked in. "Hey John! My date should be here soon. Where is Mr. Stabler?"
"He's in his office, but be careful. He is kind of down." John explained.
Olivia furrowed her eyebrows. "Why?"
John paused and exhaled sharply. "Mr. Stabler thinks that the kids would rather be with you than with him."
"Oh, poor Mr. Stabler." Olivia sighed before patting his shoulder. "I'm going to go talk to him." She kissed Katie's head. "I'll see you in the morning, gorgeous." Katie grinned before Olivia headed towards Elliot's office.
Elliot looked up when there was a knock on the door. Olivia was standing there ready for her date tonight. "Wow, Ms. Benson, you look amazing!"
Olivia smiled and walked around his desk, sitting on the corner of it. "Thank you!" She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before speaking. "I have to talk to you about something." Elliot furrowed his eyebrows. "Do you think the kids like me more than you?"
"Well, they do like spending time with you more than they like spending time with me." Elliot stated.
"But, you are their father. Mr. Stabler, if you just spent more time with them and let them see there isn't just work with you, they would see you completely differently." Olivia explained putting her hand on his. "They could not love you more."
Elliot smiled at her. "Thank you for that." Olivia nodded at him before going to get off the desk. She looked back when Elliot hand came over his. "Ms. Benson, I-"
"Ms. Benson, your date is here!" John called from the other room.
Olivia looked over her shoulder. "I'll be there in a minute." She looked back at Elliot. "What were you going to say?"
Elliot smiled lightly and kissed her cheek. "I hope you have a good time." Olivia smiled at him and patted his chest before walking out of the room, questiong whether she wanted to go out on this date or not.
