That was a tough one." Edgar puffs out a sigh when they finish the case. "Worth it though, to get that little girl back to her parents." Olivia looks at him and says"s our shift ended ages ago, why don't we go for a bite to eat? Olivia offers."There's a little Italian place over by St James street that I hear is lovely. Great wine list." Edgar suggests with a chuckle as they walk back to Olivia's office to their things. "Perfect."
Olivia laughs along with him. "Ready?" Edgar asks holding the door open for her. "I'm starving, aren't you?" Olivia walks slightly ahead of him. Edgar gets caught up with watching the sway of the brunette's hips, and then has to tell herself to stop ogling her in public as he looks away with a furious blush creeping all the way up to his hairline."Uh huh." Edgar says distractedly, Olivia looks up from putting her things back into handbag to check on the him."Yeah, I'm fine." Edgar assures her as he pulls on his coat, and grabs his briefcase. "I'll drive to the restaurant if you like, that way you can have a drink with dinner. ""You're too good to me, Edgar Pierce." Olivia grins as she winds her scarf around her neck and slips on her own coat."What are boyfriends for?" Edgar quips as he glances up at the brunette while shutting his briefcase.
"You've gone awfully quiet. Penny for them." Edgar had noticed a shift in his girlfriend's normally bubbly demeanour."Oh, I just... long day... hunger... exhaustion... I'm alright. Really." Olivia reassures him. "Would you prefer to go straight home? We can order". "Why don't you see if that Italian place does takeaway and we'll order some and bring it back to mine?". "Alright, let me just check." Edgar taps in the info on his phone and sees online that they do have a takeaway option. "Here, why don't you decide what you'd like on the drive over and phone it in? I'll have the lasagne and some garlic bread please." Edgar smiles as he hands his phone to Liv, with the restaurant's menu on the screen."There'll be no kissing tonight with all that garlic". Edgar laughs loud and carefree.
"I think I'll take the chicken carbonara. If I order some chips, we could share." Olivia chances a quick look over at him while he drives."Yes, and you can have some of my garlic bread as a trade." Edgar smiles as he indicates at the traffic lights and turns towards the direction of the restaurant. "Do you mind phoning in the order? Check with them how long it will be and how much. I've just got to stop at an ATM. My treat." He spots one at the garage by the post office and pulls in". Olivia closes the menu and taps on the phone number from the website, giving their order to the girl who answers the phone. Edgar shakes his head as he jumps out of the drivers seat and sprints off to the machine. Quick as a flash he's back beside the Liv. "Twenty minutes and £32.95 apparently.""I could drop you home and swing back for the food?" Edgar kindly offers."Would you mind? I just want to put my pyjamas on now. "Right, let's get you home." Edgar raises both eyebrows and starts the engine to head towards Olivia's apartment. Edgar looks at Olivia is struggling to keep her eyes open."Should we cancel the food? You look like you could go straight to bed." Edgar notes that the Liv is almost asleep beside him. "I want to have dinner with you, love." Olivia says "I'll just close my eyes for a sec." Within an instant the brunette is fast asleep. She doesn't stir again until Edgar stops at her apartment building. "Oh, that power nap has done wonders." Olivia exclaims around a yawn and a stretch, feeling a little bit more human again."I'll be back soon with dinner." Edgar toots his horn as Olivia walks through her lobby door.
Olivia answers, already in her pyjamas, slippers and fluffy dressing gown. With not a pick of makeup on and her hair a little messy, she takes Edgar's breath away. "Come on through, I've got everything set up in the living room." .Edgar dishes up their food and pour them each a glass of the wine and a scotch Olivia had left opened and breathing. Then they settle side-by-side on the sofa to enjoy their meal.
Once their finished the curl up to lie together on the sofa with the throw over over them watching a film as Olivia runs her thumb along Edgar's knuckles and then rubs it over the inside of his wrist at the pulse point."
