A/N: I think it's been a month since I updated, but that's fine 'cause I updated {Finding The Truth} but that's ok, right? So, I had a small "writers" block only because I thought this chapter wouldn't make sense, but then I was like yes it would I just have to write it and then change the order. So here am I writing chapter 3 of 24 Hours. Enjoy!

Olivia didn't want to show how pissed she was at the detectives, so simply said to get out and she'll call.

Amanda asked for the rest of the week off. Olivia at the time was still mad so she granted it. She hadn't heard from Nick after the confrontation and frankly she was glad. He wasn't her problem anymore because he was a uni, it was Amanda who was obliviously declining her phone calls without a care in the world. So, tonight she thought she pay Amanda a visit. She wanted to make sure she wasn't gambling her life away. Yeah, Amanda gambled, but if she was gambling it would be noticeable.

Olivia, who even called Nick to see if he knew where Amanda was, is ignoring her, too. So, there she was at Amanda's door at nine o'clock pounding on the apartment door like a manic. Her neighbor, , said Amanda hasn't been home since Wednesday. She kindly said thank you and left. There was only one place left Amanda could be at, but she told herself she wasn't going to Nick's house.

Liv went straight home to her place and made dinner. She tried Amanda one last time and left a message saying she wanted to talk to Amanda alone when she was available.

Amanda saw Olivia's missed calls, but didn't care. She needed to calm down and have the rest of the week off. She dropped Frannie off at a friends house saying she had to go travel for work, but it was a lie. She needed to be with Nick. When she was with him the world seemed to stopped. Did she enjoy having sex with Nick? Hell yeah she did! He made her feel in places she didn't know you could feel in. He was amazing in bed, if rating out of ten she'd give Nick a twenty. He was just that good in bed. But, did she want more then sex? Yeah she did.

She asked Nick if she could stay at his place for a while and he agreed. Nick had no problems with that. He loved having her around even though they don't technically have a label for what they havering on, but when Liv asked if they were it seemed ok at that time to say they were in a relationship. The only concern is are they in a relationship Nick wondered. When she came back with Chinese he would ask her. He wanted to be more then "fuck buddies" if that was even proper.

Amanda came back with the food five minutes after Nick had that thought swirling in his mind. She set up the plates and they ate. After they were both done Amanda put the plates in the sink and sat down next to Nick on the couch and intertwined their hands.

"Amanda, what are we doing? I mean I love having you around don't get me wrong, but are we really dating because we want to or because of what happened?" Nick asked.

Amanda was silent for a moment, but then replied, "Nick, we are dating because we want to. What happened just made us realize we needed each other."

"You know, we never did talked about what happened. Yeah we slept with each before the situation, but we just never mentioned it after." He said.

"Yeah it was scary at the time, but that's in the past I don't want to remember it." Amanda said getting up.

Nick nodded and said, "Want to sleep or just watch a movie in my room?"

Amanda simply said movie and went to go shower. Nick went to his room and put the movie in. He checked his phone to see one missed call from Olivia. He was surprised she even called, so he called back.

"Hey, I saw you called and I was just returning the call."

"Yeah, I wanted to ask a question. Have you seen or talked to Amanda since Wednesday? I just need her and I couldn't find her." Said Olivia.

"Yeah, she's at my place. Couldn't you have just called her yourself?" Nick said with a hint of anger.

"I have been calling all day and she hasn't picked up and I even stopped by her place to see if she was there, but a neighbor said she wasn't." Olivia was starting to get frustrated because Nick was getting mad at her.

"Ever thought why she was avoiding you for any reason possible? You were an ass to the both of us Wednesday night!" Now you could here his anger and he wasn't hiding it at all.

"That's only because she lied to me and to make it worse you were my partner." Olivia said who was equally mad.

"You're right I was your partner Olivia." Now Nick was more hurt that then angry.

"Nick, I didn't mean it like that. I was just stating the truth." Olivia said sensing the she did hurt Nick.

"I shouldn't have called. Sorry, but I gotta go." Nick said and he hung up.

TBC...

A/N: I know I said I was gonna add Fin to this chapter, but I couldn't find a perfect way to fit him in. So I promise next chapter Fin will be back! Leaving off with Nick hanging up seemed good because I want next chapter to be where Fin apologizes for being way too pissed and Amanda going back to work. So some of you might be wondering what was the situation and I'll be giving another hint about it next chapter. Review if you have any concerns or compliments! I hoped you enjoyed the 3rd chapter! :)
