Thank you so much for the reviews & ideas. I will definitely work them into the story.

Nick slouched down on his sofa at home, he felt bummed and confused. The weekend he had shared with Amanda was great and from what he could tell, she thought it had been great too. He sat there running his hands through his hair...what had went wrong? He picked up his phoneand called Amanda;while the phone rang he thought maybe she would be willing to just tell me what I did wrong. He ended the call when he heard her voicemail chime on, frustrated he tossed his phone to the sofa. I'll shower then try her one more time.

A week later, down at the precinct Nick was already sitting at his desk finishing the paperwork from the night before. Amanda rolled in and sat at her desk, she pulled out her cell and started texting. Seeing her do this, Nick felt like she just slapped him in the face. He had called her a few more times after that day but she never picked up. He desperately wanted to say something to her but he knew he couldn't say anything in front of Fin. Nick dug his phone out of his pocket and texted her.

Nick: u can text other ppl but not pick up my call?

Amanda: I was asleep.

Nick: u couldn't return my call?

Amanda: Sorry.

Nick: Can u just tell me what I did wrong?

Amanda: Nothing.

Nick: why the brush off? Why tell me to go home to liv n noah, u know it's not like that.

Amanda: actually, I don't.

Nick: can we talk plz? Cribs?

Amanda: not here, Hooligan's after shift.

Nick: thank u

Amanda picked her head up, Nick was already looking at her when they met each other's eyes. He grinned at her in that charming, boyish way that she loves so much. She couldn't help but blush a little as she felt her stomach flutter.

"What are you guys smiling about?" Fin asked.

"Nothin' Fin" Amanda answered.

"I guess you people like to sit around and smile for no reason." Fin grumbled.

"Fin, you okay?" Amanda asked with concern.

"You people…you're not a person?" Nick teased Fin.

"Yeah, I'm cool. Sorry if I come off grumpy. It's just too early for me."

"No worries, man." Nick said nonchalantly.

The rest of the morning went by quickly; nothing new came in, allowing the detectives to get caught up on paperwork. And Liv was out again due to Noah's fever.

Amanda sat at the bar for about 30 mintues nursing her second beer as she waited for Nick. He's the one who wants to talk but can't make it on time when I agree to meet? Where could he have gone? We left at the same time. If he isn't here in the next 10 minutes I'm leaving. Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned around with happiness on her face-relieved that Nick finally showed up. But when she saw to whom the hand belonged, her face dropped.

"What are you doing here?" she cautiously asked.

"Getting a drink. What else would I be doing at a bar?"

"I figured you would go to your own bar if you wanted a drink."

Sensing Amanda's disappointment, "It's real nice to see you too, Amanda."

"Hey, I'm sorry. I was just expecting someone else. No offense intended." She apologized.

"You still working your program?" Nate asked.

"Of course." Amanda smiled at him.

Amanda allowed Nate to sit with her and engage her in conversation. Four more beers later, she was definitely feeling the effects of the alcohol. She and Nate were having a good time sharing stories and laughing about everyday life. Then Nate took an initiative and placed his hand on Amanda's thigh. She lifted his hand and placed it back on his own lap.

"I can't touch you anymore?" He asked sounding a little hurt but still placed his hand back on her thigh.

With that question and his touch Amanda felt she reached a crossroad, if I allow Nate to touch me I know I would go down that road again, he lied and he hurt me. If I remove his hand and remove myself from this situation, it would be the better choice. The GA Program Amanda would do this but the Irresponsible Amanda would give in to Nate. Which decision will allow me to sleep at night, giving into Nate or talking things out with Nick? Both choices involve men; men hurt women, so I guess the decision is which man is worth the pain? No Nate or No Nick? She felt her stomach sink real awful at the possibility of not having him in her life.

"Hey, you okay?"

Amanda and Nate both looked up at Nick. Nick looked from Amanda to Nate.

"Yes." Amanda's voice came out quiet and somewhat surprised.

Nick turned to Nate, "What is he doing here?"

Nate stood up and braced himself for the possibility of Nick clocking him in the face. He could see the anger in his face.

"Nick…" Amanda stood up and put her hand on Nick's chest to try to calm him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" This time he directed the question to Nate.

"Catching up with Amanda." He said smugly. Nate could see how angry Nick was becoming but could also clearly see the passion in his eyes for Amanda. He looked at Amanda, he could see the same passion in her eyes but she was mixed with worry.

Nick turned back to Amanda, put his hand at the base of her neck to pull her close to him. In her ear he angrily said, "I run late and you call this douche? What kind of shit is this?"

"It's not what you think." She looked at him, his jaw clenched, reddened cheeks with anger visible on his face. He looks so sexy when he's angry, smoldering.

"Tell me what am I supposed to think?" he held her gaze with angry, passion-filled eyes.

"Nate was just leaving." Amanda spoke up louder so Nate would take the hint.

"Is that what you really want, Amanda?" Nate touched her arm, trying to get her to look at him.

"Don't touch her." Nick swatted Nate's hand away.

Amanda stood slightly on her tippy toes to reach up to Nick, she kissed his lips, and when he didn't return the kiss, she kissed him again. He remembered how her naked body felt against his but the memory couldn't shake away the anger he felt.

"Take me home please." She whispered to him.

They walked out of the bar together, Nick opened the car door for her, handed her the seat belt and walked around to get into the driver's seat. Instead of starting up the engine and driving away, he sat there staring at Amanda.

"Why were you with Nate? Did you choose that place to meet so I would find you with him? Were you purposely trying to make me jealous? If that's what you were doing, then I'm done with all this. I don't appreciate games and I sure as hell don't like other men touching what's mine."

"Touching what's yours? I'm not a possession, Nick!" Now Amanda was getting angry.

"I know you're not a possession. What I meant was…If you're fuckin' with me then I don't want you fuckin' with other guys. I don't share women with anyone."

"Then you should know I don't share men with anyone either. You can't have your cake and eat it too!"

"What are you talking about?" he asked in confusion.

"You're so fuckin' clueless Nick!" She pushed his arm hard.

"Why were you with Nate?"

"I was there waiting for you, you took so damn long! Eventually Nate showed up and we started talking. Where the hell were you?"

"Then why did he have his hands on you? People talk with their mouth perfectly fine without having to touch."

"He put his hand on my thigh, I moved it but he moved it back-that's when you came in." I swear Nick. "Now tell me where the hell you were!"

"I stopped by Liv's to check on Noah. Amanda, I don't want you talking to him anymore." Nick quietly said.

"You don't get to say shit to me especially when you're over here trying to claim me while you play family man with Liv!"

"With Liv? What are you talking about?"

"Yesterday I saw the way you were with Liv and Noah, one happy little family. You two go through motions without speaking, it makes me angry to see you have that type of communication with her. Why did you go see her before you came to see me?" Amanda glared at Nick.

"She's my partner! I need to have that type of communication with her! I went to see Noah, not Liv. He's been running a fever; Liv didn't answer when I called so I stopped by to make sure everything was okay."

"Communication like that while on the job, not while playing the man of her family, he's not your son! By the way, she's not your partner anymore, she's our sergeant!"

"Amanda…I'm sorry if I hurt you or made you jealous. I didn't intend for that." He grabbed her hands in his. "I help Liv with Noah because I know what it's like to grow up without a proper father figure; Liv knows what that's like. So do you, so I hope you can understand, I don't want my kids or Noah to grow up with that type of void in their lives. I know I'm not Noah's dad but the least I could do for him is teach him how to be a man and show him what it feels like to have man encourage and love him."

Amanda stared at Nick in awe, she could see hurt in his eyes…I am so turned on by this man right now. I feel silly for not seeing what his intentions were with Noah…but what about Liv?

"What about Liv? Do you love her?" she asked quietly, feeling a little embarrassed about her question.

"Yes, I love her as a friend, as a partner. She and I are close, but I don't like her the way I like you."

Now Amanda felt herself blushing…Nick leaned over to kiss her passionately, she returned his kiss with just as much passion. She couldn't believe it had been over a week since she felt his lips on hers. She missed his kisses, his lips were soft, his glided his tongue smooth and gentle but also rough and quick. He always seemed to gauge what kind of kiss she needed at the right moment.

She reached down and took hold of him in her hand; she could feel he was turned on, too. Nick inhaled sharply when she squeezed the head of his cock. She unzipped his slacks, Nick slouched in his seat-Amanda's touch relaxed him. She heard him groan as she began sliding her hand up and down his cock, she felt the blood pulsating into it as it grew and engorged. Nick put his hand on the base of her neck and guided her head down over his fully erected cock. Neither one of them cared if someone passed by and saw what they were doing. Nick tilted his head back on the headrest, closed his eyes and enjoyed Amanda's work.

"Slow down…I don't have anything…to cum into." Nick managed to grunt out.

Amanda lifted her head and met Nick's eyes with a devilish grin, she licked her lips and said, "I'm thirsty."

He pushed her back gently until she sat up straight, his strong hands unhooked her slacks in one try. Nick firmly grabbed a handful of her golden hair and pushed her head back down to his swollen cock, the head was wet with a small drop of white right at the tip, Amanda swirled her tongue around the head to lick up the pre-cum. Nick slid his hand down to her ass, until his hand reached the opening of her slit, he dipped two fingers in to get all of her pussy wet, rubbed her clit firmly. Amanda quietly moaned while her mouth was still on his cock, Nick liked the way the vibration of sound from her throat tickled his dick. He dipped two fingers back inside her, found her spot and lightly pushed on it. She moaned loudly as pleasure shot up throughout her body. Nick kept his left hand over her head; she repeatedly took him in and out of her mouth, sucking him hard each time she drew him out. Nick knew he was close to cumming, he felt Amanda's back arching in pleasure but he held her head firm. The sounds of her moans on his dick drove him crazy. He pumped his fingers into her faster and faster, she stopped pulling him out of her mouth and instead kept the head of his dick close to the beginning of her throat. The faster he finger fucked her the louder she moaned, and the louder her moans got, the more her moans tickled his dick. Within the next minute he let go of her head just as she reached her orgasm, Amanda's head shot up fighting for air and the emitting sounds of pleasure. At the same moment that Amanda picked up her head Nick busted, he cum shot her face and hair as her cum flooded his hand and her panties.

Amanda sat back in her seat with her slacks around her knees, she tried to regulate her panting as she came down from her high. Nick sat next to her with his eyes closed, as he too was trying to gather himself. He looked down at his lap as he tucked his dick back inside his slacks. He saw white drops all around his crotch then he looked at Amanda.

He just saw that he shot her hair and face, he couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry." He continued laughing.

Amanda punched his shoulder, laughed with him as she tried to wipe it off. "It's not funny!" She giggled and punched him once more.

"I told you I didn't have anything to cum into! Here, let me help you." He pulled off his dress shirt and wiped her face with the shirt tail. "You're so beautiful." He kissed her on the cheek in the same spot that he had just wiped clean.

"Will you take me home?" she asked.

He kissed her once more and started up the car. "Only if you let me buy you dinner."

Working on the next chapter tonight. Hope you're enjoying this story so far. Tell me if you feel something is missing?
