Barson- I need you

The First Date

Liv is sitting at her desk in her office and she heard the door open. She looked up and saw Barba.

Benson: "Hey Barba, what's up?"

Barba: "I was wondering when you would want to go on that date we talked about. I know we agreed to do it when you were better and I don't want to be pushy and I completely understand if you don't want to any-"

Liv cut Barba off. 

Benson: "Barba, it's okay. I still want to go out with you. I think that I'm in a better place right now. But I'm not really sure if it's a good idea to tell the squad."

Barba: "I agree, I think that we should keep our personal lives separate from our professional ones."

Benson: "So when do you want to go on that date?"

Barba: "Does tonight work?"

Benson: "Yeah, I guess so"

Barba: "Great! So I'll pick you up at around seven."

Benson: "Sounds good."

Barba left her office and Liv went out into the squad room. 

Benson: "Hey guys, so I'm going to leave early, my babysitter fell through and I need to pick up Noah."

Rollins: "If you want I could call and have my babysitter grab him and watch both our kids."

Benson: "No Rollins, that's okay. I got it. I'll see you all tomorrow."

Tutuola: "Bye Liv!"

Liv left the squad room and got into her car. She knew that Lucy was still with Noah but she really needed time to get herself ready for her date with Barba. When Liv got home, she hopped into the shower. It had been so long since she had gone on a date. After that, she went to her closet.

Benson (talking to herself): "Should I go with pink or black. I don't want to screw this up."

Lucy: "I think if it's the first date then you should totally wear that black one."

Benson: "Oh my gosh! Lucy! I didn't realize that you were right there. Do you really think that I should wear the black one? I don't want to give the wrong impression." 

Lucy: "Yeah! I think the black one's good. What time are you going out?"

Benson: "At seven. I completely forgot to ask you if you could stay the night! I would be home later in the morning because I have the day off tomorrow."

Lucy: "I can stay but it's 6:45 so you better finish getting ready."

Benson: "Thank you so much, Lucy! I owe you big time."

Liv went into the bathroom and finished getting ready. She had just finished right as the doorbell rang. 

Lucy: "Would you like me to get the door?"

Benson: "Umm, sure. I'll be right out."

Lucy opened the door and was surprised to see Barba.

Lucy: "Oh hi Mr.Barba"

Barba: "Hi Lucy. Is Liv here?"

Lucy: "Yeah. She'll be out in a minute. Would you like to come in?"

Barba: "Sure."

Barba walked in the door right as Liv came out of the bathroom.

Barba: "Oh my gosh. Liv, you look beautiful."

Liv blushed.

Benson: "Thanks Rafael, you don't look too bad yourself."

Barba then proceeded to hand Liv a giant bouquet of roses.

Benson: "Rafael, you really didn't have to.

Barba: "Oh, but I did have to. I needed it to be a special night for someone as special as you."

Benson: "Well, thank you."

Liv and Barba said goodbye to Lucy and Noah and walked out of the apartment.

Barba: "Ok Liv, I have one more surprise for you waiting outside."

Benson: "What's with you and all the surprises tonight?"

Barba: "You know, as they say, go big or go home."

Liv and Barba walked out to the street and to Liv's surprise, there was a black limo waiting for her and Barba.

Benson: "Rafael, you really didn't have to do all this."

Barba: "I know, but I go all out for the people I love."

Barba leaned in and kissed Liv. Then, he grabbed her hand and they got into the back of the limo and drove off to the restaurant. Once they got to the restaurant they went and sat down at their table and ate their dinner.

Barba: "Liv, how serious are you about us."

Benson: "I really love you, Rafael, I really want to be with you."

Barba: "I love you too Liv. I want to be with you too. So would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

Benson: "I'd love to be your girlfriend Rafael."

Barba: "How about we get out of here?"

Benson: "Sounds good."

Barba: "Your place or mine?" 

Benson: "Your place is probably a better idea since Lucy is at the apartment with Noah."

With that, Barba paid the bill and then they walked back out to the limo and drove to Barba's house.
