Chapter 7
On Sunday Olivia was the first one up again, even though Amanda went to sleep way before her. She showered and put on some lounge clothing. She enjoyed her coffee and read the paper. Around 10 she woke Amanda up, "Hey, Good morning. You would sleep all day if I let you huh?" Amanda stretched, "I don't want to go anywhere today." Olivia laughed, "We don't have to, but I want you to get up. It's not good to sleep like that. You need a schedule."
Amanda showered and joined Olivia in the kitchen. "Sit down for me and drink some Gatorade, but just sip it ok." Amanda looked across the table at Olivia's food, "I don't want that to eat." Olivia put a plate in front of her, "Here eggs, plain toast, and applesauce. Try it slow, but you need to eat. I started making homemade chicken noodle soup for later." Amanda wondered why she cared so much. "I figured we could talk and watch a movie or two." That sounded good to Amanda, "Ok!"
Amanda did good and ate everything. "Liv, I was really hungry." Olivia laughed, "Yeah it was just an upset stomach, not stomach flu. Why did you eat all of that." Amanda hung her head, "I haven't really ever gone that many places and had fun, so I guess I got carried away." Olivia smiled, "Well, never again."
They both cleaned the kitchen and plopped down on the couch in the family room. "So Amanda what do you think about our situation?" Amanda raised her eyebrows, "You mean you telling what to do all the time. I don't know, I guess it's weird, because I'm a grown up and even as a kid no one ever told me what to do. It wasn't that bad, but I can't tell you how I would feel without the actual punishment. I mean, telling and actually doing it are two different things."
Olivia could see what she meant. "Do you have any questions?" Amanda started twisting her hands, "Amanda just ask." Amanda shrugged, "Why are you like this. I mean you're not a bad person and it's not a bad thing. It's caring and loving. I can see it, but why does the discipline part have to be in your relationship?"
Olivia had never been asked that, "Wow Amanda. Hmmm. I grew up with my mom. She was raped and she decided to have me instead of an abortion." Amanda's eyes shot up to look at her, "Does it bother you to talk about it?" Olivia shook her head, "Not really anymore. Sometimes things will come up and it will make me feel bad. My mother was drunk and not a nice person. I was a lot like you, on my own. I don't really know why I want it in my relationship, but I do."
Amanda remembered seeing the psychologist at the academy. "It's definitely from childhood. I think you're trying to do what your mom didn't do for you. You definitely sound like the opposite. You think strong rules and consequences will turn me into a better person." Olivia's mouth was wide open, "How do you know that and where did that come from?" Amanda laughed, they made me talk to a doctor at the academy, if I wanted to stay."
Olivia raised her eyebrow, "Did you learn something about yourself?" Amanda laughed, "Yeah! I'm hardheaded as fuck!" Amanda was slapping her leg and laughing until she realized Olivia wasn't. "Oh, not funny?" Olivia shook her head no, "I don't like that language, you're too smart for it. I won't allow it."
Amanda frowned, "I Googled it you know." Olivia looked at her puzzled, "Googled what?" Amanda looked down, "Spanking in a relationship." Olivia smiled, "What did you find out?" Amanda smiled, "That a lot of people do it. I was surprised, but I'm really interested in the spanking that causes…" Amanda stopped. Olivia moved closer, "Don't be afraid to ask me." Amanda shrugged, What about the mind blowing sex?" Olivia fell out laughing, "There's a big difference in punishment spanking and that spanking Amanda. They don't feel the same."
Amanda just smiled, "So what are we going to do?" Olivia sighed, "Amanda you're young." Amanda threw her hands up, "You keep saying that. It's annoying." Olivia continued, "Look, if we do this, it can't interfere with work. I got you to SVU to look after you. I didn't expect to fall for you. It's going to be hard for both of us and we can't broadcast it, you need more rank and so do I." Amanda frowned, "And Amanda if you take that tone with me again, I'm going to pop that butt." Amanda's blue eyes got big.
They kept talking, while Olivia worked on the chicken noodle soup. "Liv, that smells really good." She put Amanda on chopping duty. "Here chop the celery and carrots to add it to the broth." They agreed to try things for a week. Amanda could be punished with lectures, time out, and stuff like that. She would however be told if her behavior warranted a spanking and if it was bad enough, it would happen. "Amanda, I'm not setting out to punish you, your behavior will determine that."
While the soup was cooking, they watched a movie. Amanda ended up laying in Olivia's arms, "You like laying with me." Amanda sat up, "Does it bother you? I really can't remember anyone hugging me or holding me. I feel safe with you and I like it." Olivia simply smiled and pulled her back, "I love it." When the movie was over, Olivia made grilled vegetable paninis, then she added the noodles in last.
When Olivia was cooking Amanda said, "Liv I'll just have soup." Olivia needed to stop this, "Amanda sit down. You will eat both, because vegetables are healthy and good for you. You don't just get to pick and choose." Amanda whined, "I don't want to because I don't like it." Olivia put the soup and sandwich down. "Another thing, all this whining will stop. You've never tried it, so don't tell me you don't like it. Would you like tea or water?" Amanda said, "Soda." Olivia narrowed her eyes, "Did you hear soda as a choice. Here, drink water."
Olivia did it on purpose just to see how bad it was going to get. Amanda folded her arms and refused to eat. "Your food is going to get cold and you aren't going to like it. Amanda if we were really doing this, I would take you to our room, spank you, make you eat, then send you to bed right after. Since we don't know what we are doing, I'm going to give you a chance. Eat now or you have to take a shower and go to bed hungry." Amanda scrunched her face like a kid, "Oh and your bed, not mine." Amanda sighed and then she tasted the soup which she wanted anyway. Then she picked up the sandwich, looked at Liv, and took a little bite. When Amanda bit into it, all these juices and buttered bread blended so well together. She smiled slightly while she chewed.
She finally looked up at Olivia, "You don't need to say anything Amanda, I know it's yummy." Olivia smirked and they finished the dinner laughing and talking. They really got along well. They both cleaned up and took their showers. Olivia found her in the middle of the bed watching TV. "Don't get mad." Amanda was already frowning. "I want you in bed at 9:30 and asleep by 10:00. I'll see how you wake up in the morning." Amanda fell back on the pillow, "Great!" Olivia looked over at 9:13 and she knocked out. She covered her up, "Night."
