Amanda hid her face in her hands, not knowing what to say. What had just happened?
"Amanda, you okay?" Nick asked nervously, suddenly feeling a lot more sober than before.
Struggling to get any words out, Amanda finally responded, "Yeah, I'm okay...I just..."
"I'm...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..."
"No, no...it's not your fault..."
"No, Amanda, seriously, I'm sorry...I let myself drink too much. Not that I didn't enjoy it, but I don't want to make things weird between us."
"It won't be Nick. If we weren't partners..."
"I know, Rollins." Nick said smiling as he hugged Amanda from behind, "I'm still sorry. Let's get you and me home, I'll call a cab."
Amanda smiles, she knew that things would have been different with anyone else, but with Nick, they understood each other. She felt comfortable and they were able to pull themselves together before things got too serious.
"Wanna just crash at my place?" Nick asked, "I'll grab the couch and then in the morning, I'll just drop you off at your house to get clothes and we can ride in together since your car is at the station?"
"That's fine. Let's get out of here, otherwise, we'll still be drunk when we're supposed to be getting up."
The ride to Nick's house was silent. Nick would look at Amanda, smile and look back at the road, then Amanda would smile, noticing him looking at her. They both knew they were going to be just fine.
I'll get back to the Bensaro next chapter. I tried and no one liked the Rollaro - so I had to change up my ideas. Remember, the quicker reviews come, the faster I write. Just want to keep ya'll happy :)
