Chapter 2
Roughly around 11:45am Olivia takes a glance at the clock, running her right hand through her hair. Amanda can't help but stare at the movement. Biting her lip to stop the blush from creeping it's way up her neck and onto her face. Olivia feels eyes on her and turns to find the blondes eyes burning into her but unaware she is doing so. Amanda comes out of her trance as Olivia announces "lunch, I'm starved. Anyone wanna come with?" The guys all decline but ask her to pick them up a sandwich and donuts and they all hand over some money. "Rollins?" Olivia questions
Amanda blushes a deep shade of red before replying "Oh I'll come, I don't know what I'm going to have"
Olivia nods "okay, come on then. Let's go"
They walk out of the 1-6 together and head to their favourite deli across the street. They order their food and coffees. "Do you want to eat here?" Olivia asks hopeful. Secretly hoping she can spend some time alone with the blonde.
Amanda looks over at her "Yeah why not?" Sitting down at a table, opposite each other. Eating in relative silence but both stealing glances at the other.
Olivia breaks the silence "So Amanda, you come from Atlanta?"
"Yeah I do, I really miss home"
"Oh?" She questions
"It's just I miss my family, my friends you know"
"Fair enough. Siblings? Do you have any?" Olivia questions again
"What is this detective? Are you interrogating me?" Amanda responds chuckling.
"Ahhhh no, sorry just trying to make conversation" The brunette retorts
Amanda leans over and places her hand over the brunette detectives hand and whispers "It's okay Liv, I was only joking. But to answer your question, Yes Olivia I have a sister, her name is Kim"
Olivia looks up at the blonde and flashes her the famous OLIVIA BENSON smile. Amanda blushes and pulls her hand away hastily. Olivia groans at the loss of contact. "We should get back to the guys" Olivia says and she stands up to make her way out but is stopped by the blonde placing another hand on her arm.
"Sit, please? I need to talk to you"
Olivia reluctantly agrees and takes the seat she had just got out of. "Fine what's up Amanda?" Olivia asks a little concerned.
"Oh errrm I ah.. I don't know how to ask this"
"Just ask Amanda, Do you need help? Are you in trouble? Are you okay?" Olivia starts rambling off questions a little scared.
"Oh no it's not like that Liv. I'm okay, really"
Olivia tilts her head and looks at her "well what is it then?" she asks, sadness etched it her voice.
"I was errrm wondering errrm if you would maybe like to go to dinner with me?" she asks barely above a whisper.
Olivia had to lean in closer to make sure she heard her correctly "Are you asking me on a date Amanda?" she smiles softly.
"Ahhh well yeah? But if you don't want it to be a date, I understand. Maybe we could go as friends?"
"Which is it Amanda? Do you want to go on a date? Or just dinner as two friends?" she asks irritated
"Oh a date? Olivia would you go to dinner with me as my date?" Amanda asks with a new found confidence despite how she's feeling on the inside.
Olivia's smile grows wider "I would love to Amanda"
Amanda's smile matches that of the brunette detectives "Really?"
"Yes Amanda, really!"
"Ohhh it's Wednesday so how's Friday night when we both finish work?"
"Sounds perfect" Olivia says in a gentle and warm tone "Now should we get going? Or is there something else?"
"No. So yeah let's go" the blonde replies getting up and extending her hand for the brunette to take.
Olivia graciously accepts the hand offered to her and stands up. As she does Amanda leans in to place a gentle kiss on Olivia's cheek smirking when she notices the other detectives faint blush.
"Thank you" Amanda says "For giving me a chance"
"You're welcome. Now let's get the guys food back to them before they come looking for us"
They both walk into the precinct and start handing out sandwiches and donuts to the guys. "What took you guys so long?" Fin asks "I'm starved"
"We ate there. And anyway you all had the option to come along but you chose not to. Not my fault"
Fin just snorts in response.
A/N Let me know what you guys think?
