Chapter 57
"Wake up!!! It's Christmas!" Mike yelled from down stairs. Amanda rolled on top of Olivia, "It's Christmas! Brush your teeth and let's go!" Amanda flew into the bathroom and was done, while she watched Liv move slowly and whined, "Liv come on." Amanda popped Olivia on her ass, "Ouch! That's it you're gonna get it now!" Amanda ran and jumped on bed playing a cat and mouse game. "Is that how you feel when you pop me?" Olivia narrowed her eyes, "Okay you get away with that one. Come on let's go. You do realize you only have one gift here right? Why are you so excited?" Amanda stopped her, "Liv I don't care if you bought me coal. I'm excited because I have you and a family that loves me." Then she gave her a big kiss, "And I really want you to open your gift from me. Come on."
They were the last ones downstairs. Olivia was shocked that Amanda got her a gift. When and where did she hide it? Amanda was usually always with her. Kat got Mike this huge steel safe that he wanted. Mike got Kat diamond earrings and a matching necklace. Kat got Melinda got a weekend at a spa resort for helping her so much. Olivia passed Amanda a box. It was the box she shook at home saying she didn't ask for it. She didn't ask for all of it, but she did ask for some of it. She wanted to get Amanda some extra stuff she didn't ask for. Amanda opened the big box and saw it was a Mac, new iPhone with a blue case, an Apple TV, an Apple Watch with a new blue band, and AirPods "Ahhhhhh! Livvvv!!!! You really bought me the wholeApple store!" Olivia rolled her eyes, "You just told me I could get you coal." Amanda winked at her. "Okay Liv, this is for you." Amanda put a big box in front of her, "Who helped her with this?" Everyone shook their head, but Melinda said, "I took her, when you were in the field and hid it, but that's it." Olivia started unwrapping the box and found another wrapped box, then the same thing. She unwrapped six times until she got to a small wrapped box. Amanda smiled, "Go ahead keep going.
She unwrapped the box and saw it was a red velvet box. When she opened it Amanda dropped to one knee in front of her, "Liv thank you! Thank you for taking me in, caring for me, pushing me, disciplining me, loving me, and making me a better person. I know I'm not easy, but you stick with me anyway. I want you to know I want you in my future. I want everything with you. And I know I'm just 19, I know I need to finish school, I know it may be years before we walk down the aisle, but Olivia Benson I want everyone to know you're mine, I'm yours and I want to marry you. What do you say?" Olivia was shocked and Amanda was scared. She knew she was taking a huge chance. She was just a kid with tons of baggage. "Yes!" All the girls screamed and went to see the ring. Olivia and Melinda went to make brunch once everyone calmed down from the excitement. They sat down to eat "Amanda how much did you pay for this?" Olivia asked while looking at that big rock on her finger. Amanda looked at her, "Ummmm it cost none of your damn business." Olivia leaned over, "Let's see if your butt is my business when we get home."
They finished brunch and Kat yanked Amanda in her room. "Gosh Kat what's wrong?" Kat folded her arms, "What's wrong? I'm gonna kick your ass kid!" Amanda thought she was worse than Liv. "Do you think I'm dumb Amanda? Do you think Liv is dumb? That ring on her hand is way more than your savings. What are you up to?" Amanda did something she hated doing, she lied, "I'm still writing papers. I had that guy tell his friends, but I'm done, ok. No more." Amanda wasn't about to give up this good thing. Everyone said their goodbyes and Melinda, Olivia, and Amanda headed home. "Merry Christmas Melinda! If you get hungry I'm putting lasagna in the oven tonight." Amanda grabbed the keys. When Liv walked in Amanda was holding presents, it took her a minute, "Amanda more for me?" She shook her head, "Yes! Now come on." Olivia was mad, "Why did you spend all this money? Amanda your savings…" Amanda had to come up with something quick. Kat was right, she wasn't dumb. Amanda knew at this point that when all these lies came out Liv would have her ass in a sling. But Amanda was in too deep, "Liv will you take a chill pill? Look I haven't touched my savings okay. I've been doing online tutoring for my school, which is why I spent so much time online. Might as well use my brain for the good. Now can we open gifts?"
Amanda got everything on her list plus more, "Thanks Liv! When do we use this?" Amanda asked, holding the strap-on up. Olivia laughed, "Not tonight." Amanda pouted, "Fine are you going to open your stuff? Here open this first. Don't worry everything is only wrapped once." Olivia unwrapped the first gift, it was an iPad and it was engraved with "I love you Liv!" "I had engraved so you couldn't return it." Olivia kept going. The next was a gold name plate that said, Sergeant Olivia Benson. "Amanda I love it! Thank you!" Amanda had one more gift. "Before you get mad, it's your last one and I think you may like it the most." Olivia held up her hand, "More than this?" Amanda smiled, "Maybe" Amanda giggled and couldn't stop. Olivia unwrapped her last gift, "Finally something I really am gonna put to good use." Amanda gave Liv a Fifty shades of Grey twitchy palm spanking paddle. "This we will test out right now."
