Gamblers Anonymous Part Seven
Amanda was sitting in the back of an ambulance when she saw Agent Rookie walking over to her.
"How you holding up detective Rollins?" he asked.
"I think I'll be fine after I clean up and have fresh clothing on." She told him.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that." He said.
"Yeah, well so am I." she said.
"You heading back to New York after this?" Rookie asked.
"Yeah, I think it'll be time to head back. I'll have to deal with some court stuff. But I'll be fine, I'll mange." She says.
"It was a pleasure to work you." he tells her with a smile.
"Anytime." She said and shook his hand. He then left as she went to the hospital to get checked out.
It had been a couple of hours later when the nurse at L.A. General Hospital had released her. She was packing her bag when she heard a familiar voice.
"Nick." She said and realized that he had some flowers in his hand for her and a card.
"Get well soon card and some flowers I thought you might enjoy." He said smiling and handing them to her. Amanda took the flowers and smelled them. They smelt good.
"Thanks but you didn't have to get me anything." She told him.
"But I wanted to." He said.
"Heading back to New York?" he asks.
"Yeah, what are you doing over here anyways?" she questions back.
"Moving some things over here. And I wanted to see you. I was told that you were shot. It made me worry and I had to make sure you where okay." He replies. Amanda walks over to him now inches apart.
"I was worried when Liv said that you'd been shot. I had to make sure you where okay." He says again. Amanda give him a smile and looks at his eyes.
"So you made up an excuse to take the next flight?" Amanda asked him half joking.
"Yes. Because." He said while reaching up to stroke her hair.
"I'm in love with you." he told her and then slowly pulled her in for a kiss. The kiss lasted about a minute before Amanda pulled apart to catch her breath but she enjoyed every minute of it.
"Nick." She said quietly.
"Let's stay here another day, just you and me." He suggests.
"I would love to but I need to get back to svu." She tells him. He looks down in disappointment holding her hands.
"Please, just one day is all I'm asking for with you." he asks again. Amanda hating to say no him.
"I'm sorry Nick. My job is more important right now. How about the next day I have off, I spend with you?" she asks.
"I could do that, I guess I can wait." He responds and kisses her again as Amanda reaches up and wraps her arms around his neck.
A/N: Again sorry for the shortness of this chapter but I wanted it to just be Rollaro
