Part 1: The Man in the Window

Amanda was in her pj's (comfy, light blue, drawstring sweatpants with no cuff at the bottom and a Georgetown short sleeve t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up) and her hair was down with cute curls resting on her shoulders, she was about to go brush her teeth in the bathroom, the only light in the room was coming from her nightstand lamp. It was raining out and she was thinking about Lee, 'I hope Lee is home, safe and warm in his bed' then she started to think about what it would be like if Lee was with her right now 'wait a minute, why am I thinking like that, there is nothing between me and Lee, but I do love those eyes and the way he grins makes me go weak in the knees, and when he holds my hand…stop that, Lee is just my friend nothing else' she went to go brush her teeth but right before she touched foot in the bathroom there was a tap on her window, she smiled because she new exactly who it was.

Amanda ran over to the window to open it, there she found Lee soaked from the rain. Amanda thought for a second 'he always looks so sexy when he's all wet'

"Lee! What are you doing here? Why are you all wet? I know it's raining out, but you are soaked from head to toe like you've been out there for an hour."

Lee rolled his eyes, he should of known that Amanda would bombard him with questions and start rambling, but he loved that about her, it made her seem so innocent. "I'll explain in a minute, but can I come in first?"

Amanda couldn't help but smile, "Oh sorry! You must be freezing. Come in."

Lee stepped in through the window and stood there as water dripped all over the floor.

"Stay there I'll go get a towel."

Lee thought to himself sarcastically, 'Where am I gonna go?'

Amanda came back with a big towel and handed it to Lee. He started to rub the towel through his hair as Amanda shut the window.

Just as Amanda stood up from closing the window there was a knock on the door and it started to open "Amanda darling, have you seen my slippers? My feet were a bit cold and I couldn't find them." It was her mother. Lee dashed down by the other side of the bed just in time.

"No mother, I haven't seen them" Dotty could tell by her daughter's voice that she was distracted by something. "Is there something wrong dear?"

"No mother I'm fine, really I'm fine."

She wasn't very convincing and Dotty thought she could see a big wet spot by the window, but decided not to question because she got the impression that she wasn't welcome in the room because Amanda kept inching towards the doorway.

Even though she thought it was strange, Dotty decided she would just question her about it in the morning, the boys were both sleeping over at friend's houses and it would be just the two of them. "All right, I will just go to bed then"

"Okay, good night, see you in the morning," She shut the door.

"That was close," Amanda could tell he was shivering, "You need to get out of those wet clothes, how about I go downstairs and start some coffee, while you take those off, that way I can wash and dry them while we talk about what happened."

"What I am I going to wear in the meantime?" It was the first question that popped into his head.

"Ummm, right" she thought for a moment. (spreading out her words as she spoke) "I don't really have anything, but I suppose you could wear my robe" Amanda wasn't so crazy about the idea but it was all she could think of, 'I wonder what Lee is going to think?'

"Aahhh..." Lee started to protest, but then he thought it might not be so bad to have her scent on him and to wear her clothing, it would be like her wearing one of his shirts. Lee realized that he was getting lost in thought and that Amanda was standing there staring at him waiting for an answer, he got nervous and blurted out "Okay that will be fine."

Amanda was a bit startled, that wasn't the answer she was expecting but nevertheless went to get the robe.

'How does she do that' thought Lee 'I'm a trained agent, nothing is supposed to make me nervous or feel the way she makes me feel, when I'm with her all I want to do is hold and protect her 'till the end of time, nobody else makes me feel like that'

Amanda came back out of the bathroom with her robe to find Lee sitting on her bed lost in thought. "Earth to Lee, are you there?" Lee jumped, but was settled as soon as he saw Amanda's warm face.

"I'm here"

She gave Lee the robe, "Okay then, I'll go start the coffee, just be careful when you come down the stairs I'm not sure if mother is completely asleep." She started to leave.

"Amanda..."

"Yeah?"

"Thanks"

"You're welcome" She smiled and left.
