Amanda had always been jealous of the people that Olivia had encountered outside of work. She knew Olivia knew a lot of people, and also knew that Olivia would never do anything to intentionally hurt her. Yet, with the thought of Alexandra Cabot coming back, it sent Amanda into a fit of jealous rage.
Amanda had found out the history of Olivia and Alex, and it made her feel for Olivia in a way, because for a long time, that's how she had felt and there was nothing she could do about it unless Olivia had said something, which in time she did. But that was beside the point! Amanda didn't know how Olivia was going to react to the news of Alex coming back, but she sure as hell hoped she wasn't going to act beyond thrilled!
"You seem a little on edge today, Rollins. You good?" Carisi asked, feeling the tension radiating off the blonde.
Amanda shrugged and looked over at him. "Peachy." She smiled through her teeth.
"Cut the crap. What's going on?" Carisi was really never one to pry, he tried to keep to himself and stay out of trouble, but Amanda was his best friend after all, and had every right to pry.
Amanda sighed and ran her fingers through her blonde hair. "I'm jealous man, I really am." She couldn't help but laugh, she was sure she sounded pathetic.
"What?" Carisi asked, not sure why. He heard faint laughs coming from Olivia's office and put two and two together.
"Alex." He chuckled with her. "'Manda, you know you have nothing to worry about. Liv loves you." He smiled and walked over to her.
"Just go in there and talk to them. Try to get to know Alex a little. Yesterday at lunch she seemed nice, definitely knows what she's doing." He shrugged and went to the restroom.
Amanda groaned and hung her head back.
She stood up and made eye contact with Olivia through the window, and felt her cheeks turn red. Why was she jealous of someone who practically looked just like her? She had no reason to be. Olivia didn't have feelings for Alex… Or did she? I'm just going to storm in there and tell Alex to stay away… No… That's a really bad idea… Fuck… Act cool.
"Amanda, are you okay?" Olivia frowned as the blonde walked into her office. She nodded and looked at Olivia then at Alex.
"Why are you back here?" Amanda just word vomited. I'm getting put on desk duty.
Alex couldn't help but laugh. "Excuse me?" She raised her eyebrow.
"Amanda." Olivia looked at her subordinate. "If you must know why, I'm filling in on a case that Olivia and I worked on together back in the day." Alex stood up and smoothed out her skirt.
"Liv, it was good to catch up. I'll see you tomorrow." The attorney smiled and hugged her friend.
"I'm not here for her." Alex whispered into Amanda's ear before exiting the office.
Amanda let out a heavy sigh as she heard the door close behind her. "Look-" She began to speak as Olivia cut her off with a kiss.
"I'm mad that you walked in here like that and said what you did. That was highly unprofessional, but I understand." Olivia frowned and sat on her couch with Amanda.
"I.. Wait.. What?" Amanda looked at her confused.
"You're jealous of another hot blonde. I get it." Olivia laughed honestly, which sent Amanda's cheeks to a rosy red.
"I don't want to lose you, Olivia." Amanda sighed honestly and took the brunettes hands into her own. "I've really gone through hell trying to win you over, and Alex… She's just… Perfect." Amanda frowned.
Olivia smiled and cupped her cheek into her hand and leaned in and kissed her again.
"That was the past. She meant a lot to me then, and she means a lot to me now in a different way. I'm all yours, Amanda. I promise." Olivia smiled again and kissed her once more.
Amanda returned the kiss, sighing in relief.
"I was really going to kick her ass if she tried to pull a fast one."
That earned another kiss and laugh from Olivia. "Your jealously is kind of a turn on." Olivia wiggled her eyebrows playfully.
"Now, get back to work. I want those files on my desk before we go home."
