Rating T, Friendship/Comfort/Romance


Amanda sat her beer down on the bar, her jaw flexing as her nails teased the wood grain below her fingertips.

"Hey, you alright?" Olivia asked, sitting her jacket down on the bar as she took up the stool next to the blonde.

"Yeah, fine." She chewed on the inside of her cheek for a moment before looking back up, watching a moment as Olivia ordered a drink.

"Sorry to call you out here... I know you said you were beat."

"It's okay, did something happen?"

"Came home to Kim and her... Abusive ex boyfriend on my couch. Guess he flew in while we we're workin' on wrappin' up our case today."

"I'm guessing he didn't take kindly to you asking him to leave?" Olivia asked, frowning slightly at her colleague's tired features.

"He knows better than to show his temper around me, I got him out pretty quick..." She swallowed, purposely leaving out the part about drawing her gun on Jeff.

"It was Kim, she was pretty mad at me for makin' him leave. She stormed into my room and locked herself in there."

Olivia nodded, quickly thanking the bartender for her drink before looking back to Amanda.

"She's gettin' mad because I work but I don't know what I can do. I wasn't exactly expectin' company." She threw her hands up in frustration, "Not to mention... Anythin' I try to do right she goes and makes things twice as bad!" She slammed her right hand down on the bar, pinching the bridge of her nose with the left.

At a loss for words, Olivia reached her hand out and gently stroked Amanda's hand with her thumb.

Amanda's eyes snapped open at the contact, they moved to the connected hands before she lowered her left hand to reach for her drink. The blonde fought down the urge to frown as Olivia retracted her hand.

The two chatted for a bit, about anything that they could think of other than work and family problems.

"I'm sorry Amanda, I hate to be rude but I am exhausted." Olivia said, sitting her empty glass back on the bar.

The blonde waved her hand, "S'okay, I'm gonna head out too."

"You're not driving are you?" Olivia asked, her tone worried.

"Nah, gettin' a cab. Last one for a while... Since Kim broke into my extra cash." She mumbled, fishing around in her pocket for her wallet.

"Hey, I can give you a lift." Olivia said, the blonde paused in her attempts to find her wallet.

"You sure?" Amanda asked, her voice suddenly sounded much smaller.

"Yeah, no problem." Olivia said smiling wider, "I should thank you. You gave me an excuse to drive my car for once."

Amanda's eyes widened as she was led over to an older style red Mustang, despite it's age it was in great condition.

"This is yours?" She asked, eyes still wide.

Olivia smirked as she unlocked the car, "Yep, its definitely a blast to drive it around on occasion."

Olivia followed Amanda into the blonde's apartment, she had helped the younger woman up the steps. Now she wanted to make sure that Kim was the only one in the apartment, especially with Rollins drunk.

Amanda flicked on the light switch in the foyer, her eyes scanning over the kitchen and living room before making her way back to her bedroom door. She pressed her ear to the wood, gently trying to turn the knob. The door was still locked and the faint sound of Kim snoring was coming from inside.

"Right where I left her." Amanda said with a smile as she moved back to where Olivia was standing, "Thanks for bringin' me home."

Olivia shook her head, "It was no problem, let me know if you need anything-"

She was cut off as Amanda lips met her own, the blonde pushed her back gently into the wall behind her.

Olivia froze, a little shocked at the suddenness of it all. She put her hands up to stop the blonde but felt a shiver roll down her spine when Amanda's tongue slid across her bottom lip.

The taste of alcohol was heavy on the younger woman's lips, Olivia's hands hovered over the blonde's shoulders. She was still struggling with the debate to stop what was happening before it went any further.

The warmth spreading throughout her body was weakening her resolve and engulfing her senses, Olivia's hands fell slowly to stop at the younger woman's hips.

Amanda's hands gently slid across her jawline before slipping beneath her ears and into her hair, the blonde's head tilted back. Her body pressing tightly against Olivia's as she deepened the kiss.

Olivia moaned softly, head falling back as Amanda broke the kiss and began kissing down her neck.

Amanda paused, grinning into Olivia's flushed skin as the older woman's breaths came out in short pants.

"Gonna let little ole me do all the work?"

Olivia watched as Amanda pulled back when she didn't answer, the blonde's teeth were playfully biting into her bottom lip.

Not one to back down when goaded, Olivia responded almost instantly.

This time her lips found Amanda's in a more aggressive lip-lock.

Amanda moaned into the kiss, her heart skipping a beat as Olivia pushed off of the wall and forced her backwards.

The two stumbled a bit as Amanda's body met the small wheeled cabinet in the center of her kitchen, the wheels shifting as they continued their momentum until it met the counter with a loud crash.

"I guess it is contagious." Amanda said when their lips finally parted, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Olivia cocked a brow at the statement but didn't plan on questioning it further.

Her hand wound around the back of Amanda's neck, their lips barely brushing when they heard the lock of Amanda's bedroom door click.

"Manda? Is that you?" Kim asked in a groggy voice, her head barely peeking around the white door.

Olivia immediately moved away from the smaller woman, her hands quickly working to smooth out her clothing and her hair.

"Yeah, it's just me Kim. Go back to bed, okay?"

The younger sister remained silent for a moment, her eyes squinting as she struggled to adjust to the light coming from the foyer.

She recognized the silhouette as the form of another woman and slowly pieced together in her foggy mind what had been going on before her interruption.

"Yeah, I think I'll do that."

Amanda ran a hand through her tousled hair, "Well, that was fun."

Olivia nodded, "Let's try my place next time."

Amanda's head snapped up, she had been surprised Olivia hadn't stopped her immediately.

Her heart began to pound as the brunette turned and headed for the foyer, "See you tomorrow Rollins."
