When You Walked Into My Life
By Julia
I've waited all this time
counting minutes as they pass
Searching for a sign, wishing for the best
And just when my hopes were wearin' thin
You turned my heart to love again
Like a miracle out of the blue
You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens and cracked the sky
When you walked, when you walked into my life
Olivia Benson walked into the SVU precinct for the very first time. She was meeting her new partner, Elliot Stabler. She was getting ready to go and check in with her new boss, Captain Don Cragen, when she spotted the most beautiful man she'd ever seen in her life. He was standing by his desk, arguing with a man he was calling Cassidy. He took her breath away. He had gorgeous blue eyes, and one of the best bodies she had ever seen. She thought he might be her One. She had never believed in love at first sight, until now.
Elliot turned around, noticing Cassidy's gaze had turned from him to something else. When he did, he laid eyes on the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. She had gorgeous brown hair, so brown it was almost black, and her eyes looked like pools of chocolate. She was trim, and he could seee her breasts straining at the buttons on her shirt.
She went into Cragen's office, and he watched, never more aware of his wedding ring than he was right at that moment. In that moment, he wished that he had never married, because he ached to be able to call that beautiful gift from heaven his wife.
When you appeared
like sight to the blind
Like music to my ears
Like reason to a rhyme
And just when I thought my chance was gone
Love came to me with open arms
Elliot's heart sped up when Cragen called him into his office. That's where the angel was. He tried not to look too eager as he entered, meeting the angel's eyes, and barely heard Cragen as he told him that her name was Olivia.
Olivia was pleased, but a little disappointed at the same time. The gorgeous man she wanted to be her One was going to be her partner. That was going to make being together extremely difficult. Then she saw the ring on his finger, and her hopes were completely dashed. He wasn't her One if he was already married.
''You want any coffee?'' Olivia was transported back to the present as Elliot asked her if she wanted coffee. She looked up at him for a second. He looked older than when she had first met him, but he still had the same gorgeous blue eyes, and the same beautiful smile that made his whole face light up. She still loved every part of him.
''No thanks, El, I'm OK.'' She told him, watching him as he went to the coffee pot. She wondered how, after ten years of being partners, she could have been so off about him being her One.
Elliot turned back to watch her. Ten years, and she was still all he thought about. He was miserable without her. All he wanted to do was take her in his arms and never let her go. She had rocked his world for a loop when he'd first met her, and it was still off its axis.
Like a miracle out of the blue
You rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens and cracked the sky
When you walked, when you walked into my life
You spoke my name
and the world began again
You touched my heart and it opened
''Olivia, can I see the Speedman file?'' Elliot asked casually, breaking the somewhat comfortable silence.
Olivia could feel her heart pound when he said her name. His voice was so sexy. ''Um, sure, El.'' She said, digging it out of a pile of papers on her desk.
Elliot didn't really need it, he just wanted a reason to talk to her. He took it, letting his hand brush hers. He dropped the file, so that he was holding her hand.
Olivia blushed, wondering why he was holding her hand. She thought their hands looked nice together. ''What're you doing, El?'' She asked, as he admired the way their hands fit nicely together.
Elliot smiled at her, and her heart melted. ''I just wanted to hold your hand.'' He sang, horribly off-key. His eyes were twinkling merrily, and the smile that lit up his face just made her so happy she could cry.
Olivia laughed. She had loved that movie. ''John C. Reilly sings so much better than you do.'' She lightly teased. It had been so sweet, however, that she couldn't help wishing that he would sing some more to her.
Elliot blushed tomato red. ''I'm just glad you got my reference.'' He said, bringing her hand to his lips, and kissing it.
Olivia took a deep breath. ''What was that for?'' She asked, a bit breathlessly. She knew it was too much to hope for that he was going to declare his love for her. Plus, it was a little too soap operaie for her.
Elliot said, ''Because, I love you. I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you. I just thought it was time I told you.'' He surprised her, she totally hadn't been expecting him to say that.
Olivia's eyes filled with tears. She could hardly believe it. ''I've loved you since I first saw you.'' She said, and gasped, as he leaned up, motioning for her to do the same. Then he kissed her, and it was by far, the best and sexiest kiss of her life.
Like a miracle out of the blue
you rescued me like the angels do
You shook the heavens and cracked the sky
When you walked, when you walked into my life
Author's note: Something special for whomever can guess the John C. Reilly movie I was referencing. I'll use a baby name you suggest for one of my other stories where Olivia is pregnant. Those would be Right There All Along, Heartbeat, and Wedding of the Year. You can choose the story. Anyway, hope you liked it, and why don't you leave a review? Hugs and kisses!
