The next morning, they took both cars this time, so as not to arouse any suspicion. They pulled up beside each other and got out. Fin pulling in after them. They waited for Fin then headed to the elevator. All 3 arriving together, Benson looked and said, don't tell me Rollins collected both of you this morning. The 3 of them all looked at her and said at the same time, No, we all happened to pull in at the same time. She said good, let's try and get this case closed today guys. I need to leave early today to pick up Noah's gifts. She stopped and said oh which reminds me, what are you guys doing tomorrow night? Fin and Amanda said nothing they knew of, Nick said he needed to find time to pack for going away the following day, Amanda looked at him and he shrugged. She said to Benson, why what's wrong, and she replied nothing, it's just I was wondering if you would like to come for a small get together tomorrow evening before we break off for the holidays. All 3 said yes of course they'd go, Fin said he had a gift for the little guy, Nick said the same. Amanda said I do too, but I'll bring it with me On Saturday if you want.
Sitting at their desks getting things arranged, they were chatting among themselves. Fin asked Nick if he had booked his parking at the airport yet, Nick said no, he was thinking of just getting a taxi, he hadn't decided yet. Amanda asked what time he had to be at the airport for. 8am was the reply. Well I'm up and back from my jog usually, I can drop you to the airport if you want, saves the money of a taxi and parking. He looked at her Are you sure? to which Fin said, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have offered if she wasn't numpty. She laughed, yeah, I'm sure, I can come straight here and go to the gym instead. Fin said if you need me to pick you up when you come home give me a shout. Nick said ah thanks mate, but it's a late night flight so I'll grab a taxi, thanks though.
Barba arrived saying deal was done, and arraignment was the next morning. He asked where Liv was and then headed towards her office. Fin said right, now's the time to cross our fingers that nothing else comes up.
5.45pm and Fin, Rollins and Amaro were finishing up. Fin said to Amaro, you going home to pack or leaving it till tomorrow. He said he wasn't sure, he'd see how he felt later on after dinner. They all said their goodbyes at the cars and drove off. At the traffic lights Amanda's phone rang, and she answered. "Rollins" Hey you, came a familiar voice, and she smiled. Hey back, what's up. He laughed and said I'm going to go home and pack, is it OK if I call round afterwards. Her stomach had plummeted when he'd said packing again, but she said, of course, I'll be waiting. "Hasta pronto mi cariño." See you soon baby she replied.
2 hours later and she heard the door opening. Hello, he shouted, In here she shouted back. He walked into the kitchen to find her wrapping gifts. Hey you she said. All sorted? Yeah, all packed and ready to go. He walked behind her and put his arms over her. He kissed her on the temple and said, I wish I was staying here though. She said so do I, but you've gotta go, don't worry, I'll still be here when you get back, she looked up and kissed him, breaking away she whispered, I promise. He smiled and as he sat down beside her said, I'm holding you to that promise Rollins. She laughed and he and asked if she needed any help. She said yeah, you can wrap that one while I write this card. 15minutes later and they were finished. You're a good wrapper Amaro, she said. I'm impressed. Yeah my mum taught us so I'm well trained he laughed. She told him to go get them beer from the fridge while she went to the bathroom. She returned to find him on the sofa, holding a beer out for her. She took it from him, sat down, give him a kiss and snuggled in beside him. He lifted his hand and started to run it through her hair. This is nice he thought to himself, leaning his cheek onto her head gently. He had never felt so comfortable and relaxed with a woman like this before. He thought to himself, this is totally different to Maria, we never relaxed like this, I never felt so relaxed around her like I do with Amanda, how could this feel so right? He realised he was falling for her, big time. This wasn't just a fling, or a dream, he had had feelings for her for a few years now, long before Maria cheated on him, unlike her though, he never acted upon them. Now? Now was his time to be happy. An hour later Amanda stirred, she didn't realise she was tired. Nick looked down at her and said, hey sleepy head, you ok there? She stretched and blushed, oh my god, I'm sorry, shh shh no need to apologise mi cariño, it felt nice. He smiled reassuringly. Why don't you head to bed mi cariño, he kissed her and said I'll see you at work in the morning. She froze and looked at him. You're not staying? He looked at her and said, hey, if you want me to stay, I'll stay. I just thought you would want some time to yourself. He could see her shoulders relax again and her eyes settle, a small smile appeared and she said, I'll have enough time to myself when you leave on Thursday baby, I want to spend as much time as I can with you, if that's ok with you that is? He smiled and pulled her closer, I'll be here as long as you want me to be. With that they got up, and headed to the bedroom.
Lying in bed after another session of love making Amanda smiled. She could feel Nick's slow steady breath on her hair, he was sleeping soundly. She loved this, lying here in his strong arms, this was the first time she had ever felt this way about someone before. Sure she'd had other partners, but nothing like this. She hid her feelings from him, not long after they met, she was gutted when she found out he was married with a kid. That put that idea to bed, so she tried to get on with it. When he announced that he and Maria were over, she couldn't lie, her heart skipped a beat, but she pushed the feelings away again telling herself he wouldn't want another woman. So last week when he kissed her, she couldn't believe it. Thinking about that night again she squirmed closer to him as possible and smiled. She felt him hold her tighter, soon she was fast asleep.
Next morning, she woke up and he wasn't there, she got up found his t-shirt from a few nights ago and put it on. She walked out to the living room and smelt something amazing from the kitchen. She walked in to find Nick topless, cooking. He turned around and said, hey, I was letting to sleep on for a bit. She walked over to him, put her arms around his waist and kissed him. Good morning handsome. Morning Bonita, he kissed her back.
Over breakfast they talked about how they hoped it would be a quiet shift, Nick said if needed he had booked a flexi ticket so he could fly out later tomorrow if something turned up and he needed to stay longer. He then said, hey, are you sure about the airport run in the morning? She smiled, of course I am babe. He took her hand and said, well seeing as it's an early start, maybe you should stay at mine tonight? She smiled at him and said, sounds like a plan, running her fingers over his. She got up and done the dishes while he had a shower and got ready. When he came back out she said, hey seeing as I'm staying at yours tonight I'm gonna pack a bag for Olivia's tonight and work tomorrow. He walked over to her and said "OK mi cariño" I need to stop off at my house to pick a few bits up, so I'll see you at work.
They broke off their kiss goodbye before it got too heated. She smiled sheepishly and said, we better stop before someone stands to attention again, she moved her hand down his trousers and he grinned, "too late" She looked at him saying so I see, then she kissed him again, rubbing her hand against his hard on. His hand on her back and one running through her hair she unbuttoned his trousers and kissed down along his neck, she went lower and pulled his trousers and boxers down just above his knees. He said, Amanda, you don't have to… but before he could say anything she kissed the tip of his erection and whispered against it shh, I want to. She caressed his balls and kissed them gently, then moving to his erection run her hand up and back down a few times, looking up at him then licking the pre-cum before humming and taking him in her mouth. Using her tongue and her other hand still caressing his balls, it didn't take long to hear him gasp, Fuckin hell, she smiled and carried on sucking and within a few moments felt him tense up and explode in her mouth, he let out a loud groan, and cursed in Spanish. Licking him clean, she started to kiss around him, then pulled his boxers and trousers back up, she had a another feel and quickly kissed him through the material before coming back up and kissed him passionately again. She pulled away and said, that was nice, smiling. He smiled back, stroking her face and said, that was more than nice mi cariño that was the best goodbye I've had in my life. She leaned in and put her arms around his waist. She looked up again, and said, we've really gotta go now. He kissed her again and said Thank you baby. Can't wait to see you soon. I'll leave the side door open for you and you can drop your things in on your way to work. She kissed him and said thank you. See you soon. Another quick kiss and he left.
