"I shouldn't have called. Sorry, but I gotta go." Nick said and he hung up.
Amanda was in the door halfway in the conversation. She knew it was Liv when he said, "Yeah, she's at my place. Couldn't you have just called her yourself?" She went in the room and wrapped her arms around his waist. He turned around and looked at her ocean blue eyes.
"You heard, huh?" Asked Nick.
"Not all just from where you say I'm at your place. What did she want from me? Amanda asked annoyed.
"She wouldn't say. All Liv mentioned was she needed to talk to you alone." Said Nick.
Amanda didn't reply, she just nodded and went to look for clothes in his drawers. When she did put on some clothes Nick motion her to come next to him. They ended up not watching the movie. They both fell asleep in each other's arms. Amanda resting her head on Nick's chest, his arms draped around her waist like always, it was a daily routine since they started dating.
It was 3 am when Amanda's phone was ringing. She groaned, late night cases always ruined her and Nick's night when they were together. She answered.
"Rollins." She answered sleepily.
"We have a case. 55 Park St., Lower Manhattan. See you in 15." It was Fin who told her the address.
"Nick, I have a case and it's important since they're calling me in." She told him. He nodded since he was half asleep. She got ready in front of him because he was half asleep and she only had 13 minutes left. They kissed and she left.

"What do we have?" Was the first thing she asked Fin when she arrived at the scene.
"Female victim, 25, name Laura Vera. She was walking home when some perv grabbed and rapped her there." Fin said.
"Ok, is Liv going with her or should I?" Amanda asked.
"I don't know, you're gonna have to ask Liv." Fin said.
Amanda groaned and went towards Liv. "Serge, do you want to ride with the vic or should I?" Asked Amanda avoiding eye contact.
Olivia responded by saying she'll go. Amanda told Fin she'll see him at the precinct. Driving back Amanda thought of talking to Fin about what happened. She hated awkward situations, they were worst, but she knew she would put that aside till Liv lets them go home.
They worked none stop trying to look for clues on what happened. It seemed impossible and tiring. Liv saw this and sent them home. She needed to talk to Amanda but how was the question. She never had so much difficulty talking to someone. She needed to figure out a way and fast.
Amanda was about to leave when Fin called her over. It was bound to happen, at some point this week. She shut her car door and walked towards Fin. She stuffed her hands in her pocket and stopped in front of Fin.
"Amanda I just wanted to apologize, I should've not been so pissed at you. I just couldn't believe you had a thing with Nick and didn't tell me. It just you're my partner, for better or worse, I thought you trusted me and when I saw with Nick, I thought I did something wrong to lose your trust." Fin said.
"I don't blame you for being pissed. I know I would've been if I was in your position and yeah I should've told you about Nick and I." Said Amanda.
"Partners?" Asked Fin.
Amanda nodded and said, "I should be getting home now. I'll call you later."
They both went their own ways. Fin going wherever he goes and Amanda to Nick's place. She used the key that Nick gave her just in case he wasn't there and this was one of them. She took her shoes off, hung her coat up. Amanda turned on the tv and sat down on the couch.
It was eleven when Nick came home. Amanda was knocked out on the couch. He shock her awake because sleeping on that couch could get uncomfortable.
"Manda, hey, you wanna get up? It must be uncomfortable." Nick said.
"Yeah, sure. Did you bring take-out? There's not much in the fridge." Amanda said.
"No, but I can order some if your hungry. Chinese, pizza or Mexican?" Asked Nick.
"Hmm, chinese. The usual!" Amanda said before entering his bedroom. She changed into more casual clothes or more like his shirt and shorts. When her back was towards him, he snaked his arms around her. She turned around and looked at him.
"Hey." Amanda said softly.
"Hey yourself beautiful." Nick said.
"You okay?" Asked Amanda.
"Why wouldn't I be? I have the most beautiful girl in my arms. She makes me happy when we're together and sad when we're apart." Said Nick.
Amanda put her hands on his face and kissed him. She kissed him. It was always the other way around, but at the moment she wanted to and she did. They looked at each other, but what took Nick by surprise is when she put her head on his chest. They felt united, closer and in sync. He didn't want to let go, but the food came.
Nick grabbed and payed for the food. They were at the table when Amanda noticed something was off with Nick. It was like it was eating him alive.
"Nick, what's wrong and don't tell nothing again." Says Amanda.
Nick groaned, he promised Amanda the night of the incident that they wouldn't talk about again. Now here he was about to talk about what happened.
"You never talked about it when we got home, not once. I was so scared you were gonna break that night, but instead you told me before I left for work that we never speak of it again. Remember?" Nick's voice was breaking when he spoke.
Amanda looked at him, she had tears in her eyes now. She had told him she didn't want talk about it, but why being up now? She was trying to get over it. Of course it tore her apart, she couldn't work for 3 weeks because of the whole situation. She got up from the table and went to the bedroom.
TBC...
