I didn't get many reviews on the last chapter…hope you guys are still with me and want me to finish the story…let me know please. Also, I am on holiday this week so my goal is to finish this story because I have so many more ideas for Rollaro!

"Nick, you're so tense. Are you stressing?" Amanda straddle Nick's ass as she massaged his back.

"Mmm" he moaned.

"Hey, you can talk to me if you have something on your mind, ya know?" She continued kneading her hands into his back and shoulders and waited for a response. "Nick?"

"Shhh…just keeping going. I'm really enjoying this."

"Would you tell me if you had something on your mind?" Again, she got no response to him so she playfully whacked him on the back. He turned over on his back and put his hands on Amanda's hips and teasingly thrust his hips under her.

"Oh wow, I had no idea you enjoyed massages this much!" She lightly punched his chest but welcomed the pressure poking up between her hips.

"Amanda, I would tell you if something was bothering me, but nothing is. I'm just thinking about us…I want to tell you but I'm still working on it so I don't want to say anything just yet... It's nothing bad…"

"Promise?"

"Promise." He leaned up to meet her lips with his, while he had her lips captured with his; he slipped his hands under Amanda's thigh and bounced her on top of his erection.

"Nick!" she giggled and lightly hit his chest again.

"I gotta pick up Zara, but I want to nut in you first." He whispered to her as he unbuttoned her jeans.

She giggled but he kept the kiss alive as he covered her mouth with his then sucked her tongue tightly. She felt his grip on her waist tighten. "Nick…" he sucked on her neck causing her to quietly moan, "you're gonna be late."

"No…we have time." He bit her neck and dipped his finger into her slit, "I need you." He pushed his dick against her and pulled her hips into him, "let me nut…please? I want you so bad." He licked his finger and tasted her juices.

Just then the door bell cried throughout his house, Amanda tried to climb off of him, "No. Ignore it." He pulled her back on him.

"What if it's important?" Again she tried climbing off but he held onto her.

"They would have called first…" He sat up with her, holding onto her hand to keep her from leaving, "Amanda…" He stopped when whoever was at the door began pounding on the front door; Nick got up to go see who it was at the door.

"Nick, wait!" Amanda stopped him as she buttoned her jeans, "You can't answer the door like that!"

They both looked down to Nick's crotch, where Amanda was pointing; his erection was bulging through his slacks. Nick slipped his hand in his pants to readjust himself and let Amanda get the door.

"Why the hell are you in my house?" Nick heard the familiar voice yelling from outside.

"Hi!" Zara yelled to Amanda as she ran into the house, "Daddy! I'm home!"

Maria pushed Amanda to the side and walked in, "Where the hell is Nick?"

"Hi Zara!" Amanda picked up Zara's backpack from the floor and set it on the sofa. 'You're Dad will be out in a moment."

"Where is Nick and what the hell are you doing in my house?" Maria stood in front of Amanda looking her over, taking notice of her bare feet, casual attire, and messy hair.

"Maria, you seem upset. Calm down and I'll get Nick for you."

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Maria walked further into the house but stopped when she saw Nick come out of the bedroom. "Did you change the locks? What's going on?" She motioned to Amanda.

"Daddy!" Zara jumped into Nick's arms and practically choked him with her tight hug.

"Zara! My baby! I've missed you so much!" Nick hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead, he looked at Amanda who looked alert but uncomfortable, then he looked at Maria, she clearly looked pissed off and stood glaring at him with her hands on her hips. "Baby, go to your room and call Abuelita, let her know you came home early."

Zara took Nick's phone and ran to her room. Nick waited until Zara was out of sight, "Why are you here, Maria?"

"Why is she here?" She looked back at Amanda. "We waited for you at the airport and you didn't come. We had to ride in a cab."

Amanda grabbed her keys from the shelf near the front door, "I'm gonna take off. Call me later."

"Amanda, wait." He turned back to Maria, "Your text said the plane would arrive at 6, its 4 right now."

"We took an earlier flight."

Nick noticed Amanda slipping out the door, "Amanda" he grabbed her hand to keep her from leaving. Turning back to Maria, he gave her a look of disbelief, "And you couldn't have called to let me know?"

Nick stepped outside with Amanda, she leaned into him and quietly said, "Take care of whatever this is and call me later." He shook his head in agreement, pulled her into a hug and gave her a lingering kiss.

Maria saw the intimate exchange between them. She flung the door open, "You bitch!" Maria shouted she pushed Nick, "You're a fuckin' bastard, Nick!" Maria went at him with closed fists; she tried to punch him but missed. Nick caught her hand before she could raise it again.

Amanda inserted herself between Nick and Maria, "Hey Maria, you need to calm down. Think about what you're doing."

Maria shook Amanda's hand off her shoulder, "Wow, I had it all wrong." She ran her hand over her hair, "I thought you were fucking your partner, I never pictured this one as your type."

"Maria, you should leave." Nick calmly told her.

"No! This is my house, this is our home! Why did you change the locks? You brought this bitch into our home and fucked her!" She swung at him again, this time connecting with his jaw.

Amanda immediately grabbed Maria's wrists and twisted them behind her back, "You just assaulted an officer. I will arrest you if you do not leave. Listen to Nick."

Maria wrangled away from Amanda, "Both of you can go to hell!" She got into the waiting cab and buried her face in her hands.

"Daddy! What's going on out here?" Zara looked at her Dad with worry.

"Nothing, baby. Go back inside."

Zara did as she was told but watched her Dad from the window. She saw him hug Amanda and say something to her. Amanda shook her head and touched her Dad's jaw. He kissed her, they said some more words to each other before he kissed her again, then she drove away.

Nick turned to walk back inside his house and noticed Zara in the window; he waved to her with a smile. He walked in and scooped her into is arms, he hugged her tightly until he heard her yelp from the pressure. "I love you." He kissed her face and squeezed her tightly into his chest; he sat on the sofa cradling her like a baby.

"Are you sad, Daddy?"

"A little bit…"

"Why?" she looked at him sadly.

"Zara…I have something important to tell you about me and your Mom…we decided not to be married anymore."

Zara looked up at him with worry, "Why?"

"We can't get along, baby."

"Can't you try? You always tells me to keep trying."

"Well…Mom and I have tried for a long time but I think we spent too much time apart when Mom was in Afghanistan and when she came back I stayed at work too much. I'm sorry, baby, but Mom and I will never live together again."

"Where will I live, Daddy?" tears spilled from her eyes.

"You will live with both of us. Instead of having one home, you will have two…and two of everything else. I want you to know that we both love you. You'll always be my baby girl. Try not to cry, baby, everything is gonna be alright." He kissed her forehead and continued to hold her close to his heart as she softly cried.

"I'm scared, Daddy." She cried louder.

"Shhh, Zar. It's okay to be scared; I wish I could make everything better for you."

"My heart is hurting, Daddy. I don't know if I'm supposed to love you or Mommy."

Tears fell from Nick's eyes, "You don't have to choose who to love, Zar. You never have to choose between me and Mom. You just love us the way you have been."

"Okay, Daddy." Zara kept her face buried in her father's chest, where she felt safe.

After awhile she calmed down and asked, "Daddy, how come you let the girl from work give you kisses? Does she like you?"

"Her name is Amanda, you met her once before, at the station." Zara nodded her head at the memory. "She likes me and I like her, too. She told me she likes you, too." He winked at her.

"She did?" Zara smiled her father's huge smile.

"Yup. She actually asked if she could hang out with us tomorrow. Amanda said she wants to be your friend but I told her I had to check with you first."

"Hmm…yeah." Zara shrugged her shoulders, "She seems nice and I like making new friends."

"You're a good girl, know that?" Nick rubbed his nose against hers. Zara giggled, Eskimo kisses always tickled her.

"I was thinking…do you think it would be a good idea to have a bigger room?"

"Yes! It's a great idea! I need a walk in closet because I have so many clothes and shoes; they don't all fit in my closet here!"

Nick smiled at the excitement in his daughter's eyes. It was amazing how resilient kids were, "I was thinking the same thing. But you know if I got you a bigger room that would mean I would have to get a bigger house. Would you be okay living in another house with me?"

"Well it would take some getting used to…but I think I could manage. But Daddy, do you know if I got a bigger room and a bigger closet all my clothes and shoes would fit but my room would look empty with all the extra space! So that means only one thing…"

Nick laughed at her slyness, "And what's that?" he played along.

"It means, well, I would kinda need more clothes to fill the extra space." She looked up at him with a smirk and they both broke into laughter.

"Anything for my baby." Nick tickled her and littered her face with kisses. "Let's go see Abuelita."

Nick waited until Zara was sleeping before he called Amanda. He listened to the ringing on the other end of the line, he sighed as he thought about the missed calls from Maria that he ignored. After her anger and disrespect towards Amanda, he didn't have the energy to deal with her tonight.

"Rollins." Amanda quietly chuckled; it was a habit to answer her phone that way.

"Hey…I'm Batman." Nick whispered in a deep voice.

"Why aren't you in bed, Batman?" Amanda giggled.

"Because my kitty cat isn't here."

"It's late, you should go to bed."

"No, I want to play... Come over."

"You have been such a horn dog lately, what's gotten into you?"

"A horn dog?! Wow! I'm hurt, Amanda." Nick laughed into her ear. "I'm sexually attracted to my girlfriend and she calls me a horn dog?"

She chuckled, "I didn't mean it in a bad way."

"No, no, the damage has been done."

"Nick, you know I yearn for Jesus. I want him right this very moment but not while Zara is there."

"I understand, but you're gonna owe me an entire night to do as I please."

"I promise to let you enter anyway you want, however many ways you want."

"I feel a little better but what am I supposed to do with this?" He grabbed his dick and squeezed his balls.

Amanda laughed at how cute he sounded when he was sexually frustrated, "You'll survive."

He sighed, "It's not funny. I've had blue balls all day."

"Where's Zara?"

"In my bed asleep."

"Where are you?"

"In the kitchen trying to remember what kitchen sex feels like."

Amanda sighed and laughed, "You're such a baby. Have you talked to Maria?"

"No. She's called a few times but I don't feel like dealing with her tonight. I talked to Zara, though. I let her know we were divorced."

Nick gave Amanda a rundown of his talk with Zara and filled her in with their activities at his Mom's. She went to sleep that night with a smile on her face, she was happy Zara was willing to allow her to hang out with them. She genuinely wanted to be Zara's friend and love her the same way Nick loved her. She pictured the three of them out as a family, taking spontaneous family photos the way they did with Liv and Noah.

The next morning Nick and Zara took their time waking up and getting ready, then met up with Olivia and Noah at a nearby breakfast diner. Nick filled Liv in about the incident that happened with him and Maria the day before, making sure to use the broken Italian he learned from his father. He didn't want Zara to hear the drama. Then switched back to English when he mentioned Amanda would be joining them in the afternoon.

"Wow, Zara you are lucky because Amanda is a really good friend." Olivia looked at Zara with big eyes.

"Really?" Zara asked excitedly.

"Yep! Plus she's really nice and I hear she likes nail polish."

Zara turned to her Dad, "Daddy, can Amanda polish my nails?"

"We'll ask her when we see her. Now finish your food, baby."

"So things are moving to the next level, huh?" Liv asked as she watched Nick feed Noah scrambled eggs.

"Yeah…" He nodded his head, "looks that way." He smiled at Liv.

"I'm happy for you guys."

"Thanks, Liv…for everything. I appreciate all you've done for us."

"Liv smiled at Nick, "We appreciate you, too."
