Chapter 1

After this case, long few days. Lack of sleep, food from the vending machine. All the detectives are running on the horrible coffee in the squad room. Only able to catch an hour of sleep here and there. All exhausted so now that the case is closed. They are all heading home but to be expected Olivia is still lingering around the 1-6. Amanda walks back into the precinct having forgotten her phone "Liv?" she questions "What are you still doing here? We're all heading out"

Liv sighs and looks up "I know. I jus – I just don't think I can sleep right now" The blonde looks at her curiously, tilting her head to the side and nods turning on her heel to leave until Olivia speaks up again. "that bastard" she whispers.

Amanda quickly turns and glances at the brunette detective "Are you okay?" she asks tentatively.

Olivia nods "yeah, fine" she replies, rather annoyed with the question. "Bye Amanda, I'll see you tomorrow" she says trying to get rid of the blonde that has occupied her dreams. She doesn't want to be pouring her heart out to the younger woman. Well not like this, deprived of sleep and food.

Amanda was going to respond but decides against it "okay bye Liv"

"Amanda?" Olivia questions

"Yeah?"

"Can you text me when you get home?" Amanda looks at Olivia curiously "Please? I just want to know that you got home alright" Amanda nods and heads out.

'What is that about?' Amanda thinks to herself

Olivia leaves the precinct about 5 minutes after Amanda but by the time she gets to her apartment building still hasn't texted her. She plonks down on the couch, sighs and runs a hand through her hair. She knows that she can't sleep until the blonde texts her. Instead of just sitting waiting she decides to take a nice hot bath, hoping it would relax her enough to even get just a few hours sleep. As she gets out, getting dressed she hears her phone buzz informing her of a new text message. She picks it up and reads

Hey Liv sorry it took so long, I stopped at a bar for a few drinks but I'm home now. Just gonna take a hot bath and then get into bed. Hope you feeling better – Rollins

Olivia is happy, the blonde is safe. She can finally get some much needed rest but replies hastily

That's fine Amanda. I'm home too. I'm okay. See you tomorrow – Liv

Amanda gets out of the bath and throws on her bathrobe to make her way to her bedroom. She picks up her phone, reads the message and sighs

Is everything okay Liv? Your message was pretty direct. Did I do or say something wrong? - Rollins

Olivia sits up in bed reading a message. Smiles cause it's from the blonde but frowns because she can't tell her what's wrong

Everything is fine Amanda. You haven't done anything. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight – Liv

Amanda lets a stray tear makes it way down her cheek but quickly wipes it away.

Fine see you tomorrow. Goodnight Liv 3 – Rollins

Olivia looks at the message from the blonde. "A heart?" she questions out lout knowing no one could hear her. She grabs her phone and snuggles it close to her heart and falls into a peaceful slumber with a content smile on her face.

Just a few short hours later Olivia is awakened by the sound of her alarm clock going off. She groans as she turns the alarm off and gets up to get ready for work. Half hour later, gun in her holster, coffee in hand. She picks up her keys and heads to work. She arrives and notices the guys are already there but not the blonde so she pulls out her phone to send her a message

Hey I'm at work, you alright getting here? – Liv

Amanda jumps out of bed at the buzz coming from her phone indicating a new text message

Shit I slept in. Be there soon ^_^ - Rollins

Olivia chuckles lightly to herself

Okay, I'll let the captain know. See you soon – Liv

Arriving at the precinct, Amanda rushes through the doors but stops when she realises everyone is only working through their stacks of paperwork. She flashes Olivia a grateful smile before heading to her own desk.
