They were both at work early so they could finish earlier than normal to head off for the weekend. Sonny and Amanda were happy to stay later to help out as Olivia said she would cover next weekend so they could have some time off then. It was a relatively quiet Friday... just one simple for Olivia and Peter who was quietly looking forward to having Olivia to himself for a whole weekend which no interruptions...

Olivia was so excited to be going away with Peter... if it had been down to her they would have planned in advance but when she thought about it... really thought about it... Peter Stone surprising her was actually far more romantic... Peter... organised chaos really and she couldn't get enough.

Olivia came through to the office and sat down in her chair... she could see Peter out in the squad room and she smiled to herself... not long now until they could both leave work... they had decided to give each other an hour to get some things together at each of their places and then Peter would pick her up to drive to where it was he had booked for them... Olivia had excited butterflies... wow.. their first weekend away together... she felt herself beaming with happiness when Peter walked in to the office to pick up some notes. "You look... extremely happy Olivia..." he smiled at her and Olivia nodded grinning back... "Of course... why wouldn't I be when a sexy man is whisking me off for a romantic weekend..." Peter's cheeks flushed and he smiled shyly back collecting the notes off Olivia's desk and giving Olivia a wink before going back out in to the squad room..

At 4pm they both headed out to the car park... they were in Olivia's car and she dropped Peter off at his apartment to pack. They kissed for about ten minutes before eventually letting each other go... both slightly breathless and excitable about spending time together somewhere nice over the next few days. Peter still wouldn't say where they were going and Olivia pouted fluttering her eyelashes seductively... but Peter was having none of it... "You'll have to wait... " he grinned and gave Olivia one last kiss before shutting the car door and heading up to her front door.

Olivia packed quickly at home throwing in to her leather holdall her nicest clothes including the underwear that gave her the most confidence. Toiletries and nightwear went on top... although she hoped she wouldn't actually need the nightwear...

She picked up her bag to go downstairs... she just had time to put two bottles of wine in her bag before she heard Peter call her phone to tell her that he had pulled up outside...

She went down in the lift and opened the car door to see that Peter had changed... he looked truly sexy in casual smart clothes and Olivia pulled him into a cuddle. Peter checked Olivia had got everything she needed and was actually impressed that Olivia had packed her normal holdall for when she stayed with him and not added lots of extra bags like Peter had expected! Olivia grinned... "Are you impressed...? Just the one bag..." Peter nodded and squeezed her hand slightly chuckling... "I am impressed..." he kissed Olivia lightly on the lips.

Peter put the radio on as they drove... Olivia didn't know where they were heading apart from that Peter said it would take about an hour. Olivia closed her eyes and listened to Peter humming along to the songs on the radio... she smiled and Peter looked at her grinning... "This is so lovely isn't it... I can't wait to get there..."

Olivia beamed at her and started humming along to the music too... resting her hand gently on Peter's leg.

After exactly one hour and four minutes (Olivia was counting!) they pulled up at a Country Spa Hotel. Olivia gasped slightly... it looked breathtaking... "Peter... this is too expensive... we didn't have to come somewhere like this..." Peter grinned and put his finger to Olivia's lips... "Hush... it is on me and I wanted to bring you away to somewhere gorgeous that you will always remember... it is supposed to be lovely... I read the reviews...".

Olivia grabbed his hand and kissed Peter's fingers lightly... "You are... amazing... there is no way you are paying for all this though..." Peter winked at her... "We'll see... no arguments..." . The car came to a stop and they got out taking their bags and walking up the path towards the Reception.

The receptionist was a young girl and she smiled at them both. "Ummm... I have a suite booked under Stone..." Peter spoke quietly as there were a few people milling around the area. "Ahh yes... here you go..." she passed them two key cards and explained how dinner and breakfast worked. She also gave them passes to the health club and spa to use all weekend.

Olivia couldn't stop smiling... wow... no one had ever done anything like this for her before... Peter was... totally breathtaking... he had literally taken her breath away with this...

They got the lift to where the room was... not really a room because when Peter opened the door Olivia saw the most beautiful suite... "Peter.. this must have cost..." but Peter stopped her right there with a passionate kiss... door still open but he didn't care... "Olivia... I want to spoil you... ok... we deserve this weekend together and we work damn hard most of the time... we deserve to come somewhere nice... together and enjoy ourselves... ok...?" Olivia just nodded before kissing him back... firmly... all her desire put into a kiss which she hoped showed Peter just what he meant to her...

It was almost time for dinner... Peter had called down to Reception to book them in for 8.30pm. Olivia poured them a glass of wine each in the room while they got ready... they couldn't take their eyes off each other and couldn't stop grinning... "My cheeks are actually aching from smiling too much..." Olivia giggled pulling on her wrap cardigan and putting the final touches to her makeup while Peter was putting on a new dark blue shirt which Olivia couldn't tear her eyes away from... Peter looked stunning...

"I think we can spend the rest of the weekend in robes" Peter chuckled "But tonight it's nice to make an effort... you look lovely... Olivia". Olivia blushed and replied that Peter looked absolutely sexy and how much she liked his shirt. Peter's cheeks flushed pink and he grabbed the key as they turned off the lights to head to the restaurant downstairs.

They had a gorgeous three course dinner with more wine and lots of conversation... Peter felt he had so much to catch up on about Olivia's life... after all he wasn't there for the first years... they talked... deeply about their childhoods and teenage years... content that they had all the time in the world for the rest.
