Amber was woken up the next more to the sound of her alarm blearing. She reached over and shut it off groaning as she did so. She sat up and soon realized she was wearing a shirt she didn't recognize.
Amber immediately looked to see if anyone else was in her bed and sure enough there was a sleeping Kelly Severide. "Damn whiskey." Amber gently shook Kelly awake. "Kelly"
Nothing.
Amber grabbed a pillow and smacked him with it. Kelly's eyes popped open. "What was that for?"
"One we need to get up because we need to be at the fire academy in an hour. Two do you remember anything from last night and why I am wearing your shirt?"
Kelly examined his own attire and noticed he was just in his boxers. "Uh I think we slept together?"
"You think???"
"The nights a little fuzzy to be honest. I believe we polished off that whole bottle of whiskey."
"Well that would explain a lot. We should get going though." Kelly nodded and the two of them got out of bed. Amber took off his shirt and tossed it to him. Kelly found his jeans and slipped them on.
Amber walked over to her dresser pulling out undergarments and then went to her closet to grab pants and a shirt. Once they were ready they headed downstairs.
They could hear talking coming from the kitchen so they headed towards the voices. When they entered the kitchen Andy, Heather, Matt, and Hallie were drinking coffee and chatting.
"About time you two got up." Andy smirked. "Want some coffee?"
"Yes please." Amber sat down at the island. Andy poured Kelly and her a cup of coffee. "My head hurts." Andy handed them there coffee.
"Oh I bet it does. You two were hammered last night." Matt also had a smirk on his face.
"Alright why are you two smirking?" Amber was tired and not really in the mood for games.
"You two have fun last night?" Andy wiggled his eyebrows.
Kelly raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about Andy?"
"You two couldn't keep your hands off one another last night. Amber finally took you up to her room after about 30 minutes of you guys making out in front of us."
Amber's cheeks went bright red. Completely embarrassed by her actions last night. "Sorry about that. I get a little out of control when I drink whisky."
"Noted."Andy and Matt were both snickering a little.
"You guys should get going if your going to make it to the fire academy in time. I can take Matt's car so Heather and me can go home while you guys go to the academy?"
"Sounds good hun." Matt placed a kiss to Hallie's lips.
"Kelly you riding with them or me?"
"I'm sure you were riding him last night." Andy jokes. If looks could kill, Andy would be dead by the look Kelly just threw his way. Amber's cheeks went bright red again.
"I'll go with you." Amber nodded to Kelly's response.
"Let me just feed Sunny and Cher and we can get going." Amber left the room to go feed the dogs.
As soon as Amber was out of the room Kelly turned his attention too Andy. "Seriously dude? Can we not act like we are in high school?"
"Oh come on Kelly. I was just having a bit of fun. Just trying to toughen her up for working in a mostly boys club."
"Well fucking cut it out. She is obviously embarrassed as is. She doesn't need you making it worse." Kelly was actually upset with how Andy was acting.
"What's gotten into you dude? Your normally not this uptight when I poke fun at the girls you sleep with."
"Well Amber is different. We are going to be at the academy together and who knows possibly working in the same house. So cut it out."
Before Andy could respond Amber came back into the kitchen. "We're good to go."
Everyone headed out of the house and got into the cars to leave. Hallie and Heather heading home, while the others headed to the academy.
There was this awkward silence in the car with Amber and Kelly.
Kelly decided to break the silence. "I'm sorry about Andy. He's not normally like that."
"It's okay Kelly." Amber fell silent again just watching the road in front of her. They soon pull up to the Fire Academy and Amber parks the car.
Amber goes to get out but then is stopped by Kelly grabbed her hand. She gave him a weird look questioning what he was doing. "Look um... I'd really like to take you out to dinner."
Amber raised an eyebrow. "As friends or as a date?"
"I'd like for it to be a date but understand if you want it to be just friends." Kelly's blue eyes were staring back into Amber's hazel eyes. Making her completely melt.
"A date sounds nice." Amber smiled at Kelly.
"How does Friday at 7 sound? I'll pick you up?"
"Sounds great." Kelly smiled and then they both got out Amber's car to head inside to begin that days training.
Andy and Matt we're driving to the fire academy following not to far behind Amber.
"What's Kelly's deal with this chick. He's not normally like this."
"I don't know Andy but maybe he likes this one? It's been 6 months since the whole Renee thing. Maybe he is ready to move on."
"I guess. He just swore he'd be a bachelor for the rest of his life and never settle down with just one women."
"Well maybe Amber has made him see things different?"
"They've known each other for less than 24 hours. There's no way."
"Well maybe it was love at first site kind of thing. Who knows for sure Andy. If Kelly is happy then we should be happy for him."
"Yeah your right."
Andy pulled into the fire academy and parked the car so they could head inside.
