When he finally spoke, he managed to say, "Hello".
When Nick woke up, he found himself in the living room. There was a glass of water, two Tylenol, and a note of some sort on the coffee table. Picking up the note first he read it slowly as his head was pounding. He laughed towards the end of the note which only made the hangover worse. He took the Tylenol with water and laid back down.
A few hours later he woke again, but this time without the hangover. He quickly sent Amanda a text asking what had happened to him last night. He walked towards the bathroom to clean himself up. He got the ok from Liv to take a few days off from the whole ordeal with his father. His father coming to visit had caused so much problems that he had to cut his time with Zara short.
He walked to the bathroom and for a second had no clue who's bathroom he was in. Then he realized the size. Instantly he knew he was in Amanda's apartment. It's been over 2 months and he already forgot her bathroom. He scowled at himself, it's not like he planned to come here last night. For some odd reason he felt better when Amanda was around.
It's like all his problems disappeared when she was with him at his place or at her apartment. If hadn't known about her former Captain he'd still be wondering why she acted like that at the bar. When she told him the night before everyone connected the dots he had this rage to give Patton what he deserved. Amanda knowing how he reacted on his anger begged him not to do anything, but his job. He agreed.
He was deep in his thought, so when he heard the door clicked he jumped a little; in the process of hitting his head. Quickly he threw on a white tee and walked out the bathroom to see her in the kitchen. She had gone to one of his favorite diners and got him his usual. He gave his signature smile with his dimples towards her. She just laughed and waved his burger in the air.
They silently ate with each other giving each other giving flirty looks here and there. When Amanda finished her lunch she quickly glanced at her watch. She had just about half an hour before Fin expected his her back to continue on their new case. Amanda told him that; throwing the spare keys at him. Before she left she told him, "I'll see you at our usual hangout to talk more?" To which he agreed to.
When he finished eating the lunch she brought him, he finally got himself cleaned up and left. He planned out what he was gonna say to her at the bar on 5th St in lower Manhattan. He was gonna first apologize for crashing at her place, but then apologize for being such an ass at the bar that started their fight and awkwardness at work. Eventually getting to the topic of them. It seemed like foolproof plan, yet it didn't exactly go as planned. They did talk about what they were after they went back to her apartment; after they went to the bedroom to resolve any other tension. The both of them were laying in bed when he brought them up.
"Amanda, what are we doing honestly?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Like we keep seeing each other no matter what and out of all the rules we break its this one we chose. I'd at least like to put some type of label for what we are. If you're okay with that of course."
"Just assumed we were an unnamed couple. Unless that bothers you then we won't be called that."
"No, I like knowing that you thought of us as a couple secretly. I did too."
"At least we can agree on that."
"Not true, we agree on other things too, smartass!"
"Yeah, sure we did." Amanda said laughing.
The phone rang interrupting their conversation.
"It's mine," Nick tossed Amanda's phone towards her. She groaned at whoever was at the end of the line. "Carisi, can you ever do anything by yourself?!"
"Sarge said to bring you along…"
She was mocking Carisi on the phone while getting dressed. Nick couldn't help, but laugh almost getting caught in the process. She hurled her shoe at him when he started laughing again. Amanda didn't find it amusing at all that he was laughing at her pain. Still on the phone she gave him a quick kiss while leaving the bedroom. He quickly followed her struggling to put his boxers on while trying to keep up with Amanda. She gave him the signal to lock the door.
He was glad it didn't go his way because his plan sucked now that he thought about it. It was like he was 15 all over again. Dating the girl he always wanted to date besides the fact that they're not supposed to. He didn't know what was it about her that made him just want to sneak around with him. Maybe it was the thrill he felt or that tue fact was that they were sneaking around. Either way it made him happy and he hoped it made her happy as well.
Four Months Later…
"I'll ride in the ambulance."
