I hope you like this installment. I wanna thank yall so much for the reviews. I appreciate them all.

Olivia finished her check in. She looked over at Amanda. "I had to do something. I couldnt let you just walk away like that. Is it possible for us to at least talk?" Amanda looked at her, she had alot of gall just showing up out of nowhere. She was kinda glad she showed up in a way cause it showed her that she was someone worth something to her, if that made any sense. Amanda just kept looking at her. She was still pissed, and hurt which yes she had every right to be. Liv did hurt her.

Amanda stepped back as Liv stepped toward her after collecting her room key. "Liv that doesnt tell me why you're here. Why you couldnt say this when I was in NY. I leave and its like 'oh now let me show I care'. Im not in the goddamn mood. It's not fair to me Liv." Liv still looked at her, at a loss for words cause she knew she was infact wrong. Liv tried to take her hand. Amanda still wasnt having it. "Amanda follow me to my room, let me put my things in there and we can go talk." Amanda scowled. "Liv its late as hell or early as shit depending on which way you look at it. I am going on to my room to get some rest. We can meet when I get up, but that's if you are still infact here and oh, if you still want to meet. As you can see I'm over the games." Olivia was shocked Amanda had said 'no', she came all this way. But she did hurt Amanda so now it was going to have to play by her rules. "Okay Amanda. I guess um, just text me in the morning. Or come to Room 225." Amanda nodded. "Ill be in touch." With that she left Liv to stew in her own juices. She wasnt going to give up on her and Liv by any means but Liv had to see that she wasnt a pushover and someone she could bully.

They spent the rest of their night in their respective rooms. Liv had wanted nothing but to get to NSB, find Amanda and be able to talk. Just didnt happen the way she wanted. Hopefully they would be able to talk sometime tomorrow as Amanda did say she'd be in touch. Liv lay awake most of the night, despite being jet-lagged she couldnt sleep. She knew it was mostly cause of things not being settled with Amanda. She hoped like hell that Amanda kept her word and contacted her in the am. She looked at the pic of her and Amanda that was taken just before their fight. Brought tears to her eyes at how happy they were. She sent Amanda one last text

"Amanda- look I dont know where to begin so I'm just gonna say this and hopefully you read it and dont just delete. I am sorry for the way I treated you and have been treating you. I take full responsibility for you needing to get away. I will leave it totally up to you if you choose to get together later on or not. This will be the last time I text you and most likely will leave sometime tomorrow night. I dont want to bother you. I do want you to know I do have some type of feelings for you. Anyhow, sweet dreams and hope to hear from you later. xo-Olivia"

Amanda had heard her text alert go off. She just didnt feel like looking at the phone. She was thinking bout everything that lead her up to needng to get away. Her feelings for Liv were deep and her actions had really hurt her. As one could say they 'cut her deep'. She didnt know what was next for her and Liv. She was unsure of meeting her in the morning but they needed to get this hashed out. Amanda refused to have to walk on eggshells at work or anything. She tossed and turned all night finally giving up on sleep, she decided to get up and go for a run on the beach. Maybe the water could calm her down. She put her pink running shorts on with a blank tank top. Putting her hair in a ponytail. She put her armband on that held her phone, tucking her phone inside next were her sneakers. After that she walked out the door, making sure it locked she headed off. She needed a good run, needed to get the stress out.

Her run was very refreshing, down by the waters edge. Stopping once or twice to admire the beautiful view. God it was peaceful down here she thought. What was on her mind, was her and Liv and what was going on between them. She just didnt want to lose Liv. She sure as hell didnt want it to go back to 'fuck nights' on the nights they went to the bar. She couldnt deal with that. For one she didnt want to be in a different bed every time and for two she really couldnt see being intimate with any one other than Liv. Yep thats what it was, once she had a taste she didnt want another flavor. She ran for what seemed like forever but it was more like an hour and half. Hell it might of been two hours. All she knew she was tired and sweaty but felt accomplished. She knew Liv would be awake so she said the hell with going to get cleaned up and just went to her room. She got to room 225. Thinking to herself 'here goes nothing.' She knocked a couple times. She finally heard a muffled "Im coming." Liv had been up looking at emails sent from Fin. She was wearing navy capris and a tan shirt. Answered the door with her glasses on. When she opened the door and saw Amanda there she smiled. "Hi Amanda." She waved her hand to tell her to come on in. Amanda stepped in the room.

"Hi Liv. I hope you dont mind that I'm in this outfit. I decided to come up here after my run." Liv shook her head. "Not at all Amanda. I'm just glad you decided to come up. Would you like to sit down or would you like to go get something to eat and just talk? I've booked the latest red-eye flight back home at like ten tonight so I've got time." Amanda looked at her thinking, 'damn she is just gonna talk and leave. do I really want my space or do I want her to stay?' "Oh, I thought you were gonna at least stay a day or two?" Liv looked at her, "I didnt want to intrude on your get away anymore than I already have."

They ended up going out to get some breakfast. It was nice, for once since their fight it wasnt awkward to be around each other. They just sat and talked. Each of them having the burning question 'what was going to become of them?' Both of them scared to lay their hearts on the line due to being hurt before. Neither of them expecting to find someone they wanted to pursue things with. Both of them had been on the job long enough to know that relationships dont last. People cant take dating a cop. Not to mention both of them having severe trust issues. Amanda's eyes just kept watch on Liv. She couldnt get a read of what she wanted. If she was just here to say she was sorry, or if she was here to say sorry and end it all completely.

After they ate, Amanda suggested going for a walk. Liv was game for that. They walked the beach just talking. This time Amanda let Liv hold her hand. Liv really was putting forth the effort and Amanda could see that. Plus not many people would just up and fly to another state just to be able to talk face to face. They stopped at a lil nook in the beach, it was private and looked like noone was there. Amanda went and sat on a rock, Liv joined. She spoke to Amanda from the heart. "Look Amanda I know I fucked up in how I acted. It was wrong and I see it now. I cant go back and change that, but what I can do is work on it and make sure it doesnt happen again. I wish there was a way to show you how much I deeply regret treating you like that. I should have never closed myself off to you. I dont know what else I can do except say that I am deeply sorry." Amanda had a tear rolling down her cheek, never had she had anyone put this much effort into her. Liv wiped her tear gently. "Sweetie please dont cry." Amanda swallowed hard. "Liv its just I've never had this. When you pushed me away and held me at bay I cant describe how much that hurt. I dont want you to pity me cause I have had such a shit past. If there's going to be more to us than fuck nights, then I want honest feelings. By honest feelings I mean ones that you cant retract or take back when you get mad at me. Ill tell you, just cause I put the hard ass front on doesnt mean I'm hard ass on the inside. Im actually quite sensitive and I get hurt easily." Liv came closer, she put her arms around Amanda, she just had to have her in her arms. "I'm so sorry I hurt you. It wasnt my intention. I think I was scared cause of how fast I infact caught feelings." Amanda tightened her hug. "I'm scared too Liv. I've never felt for anyone what I feel for you. I just want you to be sure. I dnt want you to be with me out of pity. I couldnt handle that." Tears started falling more as Amanda let Liv know how she felt. Liv felt like an ass for how she treated Amanda. She vowed to never make her feel this uncertainity again. "Okay so Liv, what are you asking of us? Are you asking us to pursue a relationship?" Liv nodded instantly. "Yes Amanda if you will have us and give us a chance I'd like to see what becomes of us." Amanda had heard what she wanted, her heart beat wildly. You could feel it thrumming in her chest. She kissed Liv with that same intensity that her heart was pounding. After they broke the kiss Amanda answered. "Yes Liv I want to try an us. I want to see where we could go. Now my question is, since we have that settled. "Does my new girlfriend really need to catch the red-eye tonight? Or can she stay and spend the rest of the weekend enjoying the beach and sun with me?"

Sooo what yall think Liv is gonna do? Is she gonna catch the red-eye? Is she gonna stay with Amanda? Amanda was quite angry and was justified, hopefully Liv will do right by her and they can be a happy couple. As always reviews are great. Not sure how many chapters this will go but I keep getting ideas so...
