Favor

Olivia had gotten an invitation to the wedding of one of her college friends. She wanted to go but not alone. She decided to call someone she wasn't sure would accept her invitation but she figured she'd give it a shot anyway.

"Hey, Benson."

"You can call me Olivia, you know."

"Sorry. What can I do for you?"

"I need a favor."

"I'm all ears."

"I got an invitation to the wedding of one of my college friends and I'd like to go but not alone. Would you like to go with me?"

"When is it?"

"The weekend before Thanksgiving. If you don't want to go, I'll understand."

"I'll go."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"The wedding is in the Hamptons."

"Ok"

"I appreciate this, Hank. More than you can ever imagine. I owe you one."

"I'll see you then."

"Ok."

Olivia hung up the phone and her next project was finding a dress. She hated shopping for dresses more than anything. She called Erin and Amanda to see if they could go shopping with her. They agreed, so Amanda brought Jesse over to play with Noah, since Lucy was there and then the 3 of them went shopping after she put the RSVP in the mail.

"So, Liv, are you taking someone to this wedding?"

"Yes. I invited Hank."

"Voight?"

"Yes."

"He agreed?"

"He did."

"You are taking Hank Voight to a wedding as your date?"

"Yes."

"Hot headed guy with the raspy voice?"

"Yes, Erin! How many Hank Voights do you think I know?"

"He never dates. He said he would never get involved with another woman after Camille died."

"We're not involved. We're friends."

Olivia knew that was a lie but no one knew that she and Hank had slept together during the Yates case. They decided to keep it between them. He had tried talking her out of becoming involved with Tucker but she did anyway.

"Since when?"

"Since always, Rollins. I can be friends with a guy and got get involved with him. Although I do find him very attractive."

"You like him, don't you?"

"Yeah, I do. I have for a while."

Olivia went to try some dresses on and then Amanda and Erin helped her choose the perfect one. They went back to Olivia's after she bought a dress.

During the next several weeks, Hank had bought a new suit, so he looked presentable. He needed a new one anyway, even though he hated wearing them. This was for Olivia, the woman he had a great deal of respect for. A part of him wanted to ask her out but he was afraid she'd say no. After they had slept together, they decided to remain friends. Neither one was sure they wanted more. Until now. When it came time to leave for New York, Hank headed to the airport and waited for the flight. Once he boarded the plane and it took off, he was starting to get a little nervous. It had been a while since he had even been on anything that would be classified as a date. He wasn't even sure this was a date. When the flight arrived in New York and went to get his suitcase, Olivia met him outside Baggage Claim.

"Hey."

"Hey, yourself."

Hank put his arms around Olivia and hugged her. Then they kissed each other on the cheek.

"So, are we just doing this as friends?"

"I kind of want more but I'm not sure."

"I've wanted to ask you out for a while but I wasn't sure how you'd react or if you'd say yes."

"So, it wasn't just me that actually felt something between us."

"Nope."

Olivia kissed Hank and then she drove to her apartment.

"Where's Noah?"

"He's spending the weekend with Rollins and her daughter. She and Erin are the only ones who know that we're going together."

"Oh, boy! If Erin knows, then all of Chicago will know."

"You didn't tell anyone?"

"Olinsky knows. I did get a hotel room."

"I called and cancelled it. I want you to stay here."

"How'd you cancel it?"

"I called the hotel and asked if you had a reservation. They said you did and I said it had to be cancelled."

"You're a sneaky one, aren't you?"

"When I have to be."

Olivia gave Hank a smirk and then she kissed him again.

"Thank you for doing this."

"You're welcome. What time do we leave?"

"In the morning. The wedding is at 2. Do you want something for dinner?"

"Sure."

"Chinese ok?"

"That's fine."

Hank told Olivia what he wanted and then she ordered it.. They sat on the sofa and started kissing. Once dinner arrived, they ate and then they went into Olivia's bedroom to make love before they fell asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, they woke up and made love again before they got up to get ready. Hank fixed breakfast while Olivia was in the shower. After they ate breakfast, Hank took a shower. Olivia did her hair and makeup and then they both got dressed.

"Damn, you look gorgeous in that dress!"

"Thank you. You look pretty handsome."

"Thanks. I even went out and bought a new suit."

"That was so sweet! I love you."

"You do?"

"Yeah, I do."

"I love you too."

They kissed and then as soon as they were ready, they left. Olivia drove to the Hamptons. The weather was unusually warm for this time of year, so it was an outdoor wedding. When they arrived, Olivia found a place to park and then Hank got out, walked around and opened the door for her. She took his hand and then they walked inside.

"Olivia?"

"Allison."

"Can you believe I'm getting married?"

"No, actually, I can't."

"What about you? Are you married?"

"Not yet."

"So, what have you been up to?"

"I'm a Lieutenant with the NYPD Special Victims Unit."

"No idea what that is but thanks for coming. I'll have to introduce you to Derek later."

"Ok."

Allison walked away and Olivia rolled her eyes.

"You were friends with her in college?"

"I know, right? I have a feeling that I am going to regret coming here."

"Well, I can see why you didn't want to come here by yourself."

"I owe you big for this, don't I?"

"Once last night and once this morning. That's enough."

"It's going to be more than that. Believe me."

"Don't worry about it."

"That's what I'm worried about. You're going to have to stay sober because I am going to get drunk and one of us has to drive home."

Hank kissed Olivia and then another one of her friends came over.

"Olivia?"

"Melanie."

"And who is this handsome man?"

"This is Hank Voight."

"So, is he just a friend or are you two exclusive?"

"I'm a one woman kind of guy."

"That voice is so sexy! Do you have a friend who's single?"

"No."

Melanie left and then Olivia rolled her eyes again.

"I need wine and lots of it."

"Let's go for a walk."

"Ok."

Olivia took Hank's hand and they went for a walk along the beach. They got back after the ceremony had started, so they just headed back to the they city.

"I am so sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it. I came here to be with you anyway. Why don't I take you out for a nice dinner?"

"That would be nice. Thank you."

"Sure."

When they got back to the city, Olivia drove to an Italian restaurant that she knew didn't take reservations and then they went inside. They ordered their meal and waited for their salad and drinks.

"This is better than that stupid wedding. The next time I invite you to a wedding, tell me no."

"You're so beautiful when you're frustrated."

"Thanks."

"I really mean that. So, do you want to start a relationship or are you ok with the way things are between us?"

"I want more. I meant what I said before. I love you, Hank. I know that we have a lot to consider, like where we want to eventually end up."

"I know. I love you too. I would love to get to know Noah better."

"Maybe I can bring him to Chicago sometime."

"That would be great."

"Can we just keep this to ourselves for now?"

"Absolutely."

Their salads arrived and then their meals arrived. They shared a dessert and then they went back to Olivia's apartment. They made love before falling asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, they spent time together before she took Hank to the airport.
