A/N: Hi guys! This story is our first collaboration story so we hope you like it! We originally thought of keeping this as a oneshot but were thinking of writing some more chapters for it. Let us know what you think and don't forget to make a review :)

"Oh I don't have to pay for someone to listen to my problems."

What the hell was she thinking? Sure, Rollins was stressed but this was a new level. But Olivia had to have some room for understanding, right? Amanda was athletic, independent and definitely beautiful. Even Olivia couldn't ignore that. Maybe Olivia was attracted to blondes? Surely they had some tricks in bed…

FOCUS, she told herself.

She needs a friend, someone to talk to, and I am thinking about how I would like to screw my co-worker.

She watched as Rollins headed off into the cribs, obviously pissed by slamming the door. Liv shook her head silently to herself. Nate was just another low life who didn't even deserve to be in Amanda's presence.

The brunette began walking towards the cribs, hoping to get Amanda to open up about how the hell all this even started.

The senior detective edged the door open quietly and slipped into the room. She found Rollins sat on one of the beds, her hands were matted in her smooth blonde hair and by her posture she seemed utterly defeated.

Olivia moved closer to the blonde before slowly taking a seat next to her. She could feel the younger woman's pain; see that she was fighting back tears. Tears that moron Nate had caused. She wanted to hold her, tell her it would be alright, and tell her Nate wasn't worth her time. But she was, she was worth that time.

But that's not possible. She thinks I have baggage; well she's right about that. Right now Amanda needs a friend, nothing else.

"What do you want Olivia? Come to tell me I should grow up? Because frankly I've had enough of your advice for one day." She spat at the brunette before turning her face away. Wow she really was pissed! But even pissed, she seemed adorable.

"Amanda I understand your hurting inside, I'm just here as a friend."

"A friend? My sex life has just been exposed to every one of our squad. You think 'a friend' could help me stop feeling so humiliated, huh?"

Olivia dropped her head, letting her chestnut locks cover her face as she bit her bottom lip. "I could try."

The younger woman laughed. Or maybe it was a scoff. But Olivia couldn't tell. What she could tell however was that there was hurt and desperation in her voice. "Well where do you wanna start?" The blonde asked stretching her arms out around her. But almost too quickly, she put her head in her hands, her elbows resting on her thighs.

"Amanda, can you answer one question for me?" Olivia said softly, as not to alarm her.

"What?" Amanda answered, her position not moving.

"Why would you let an asshole like Nate get to you like that?"

"I can't answer that." She stood up from her seat on the bunk and walked around to the other side of the room.

"Why not?" Liv asked as she followed her in slow steps.

"It's hard okay? I wanted someone around who could help me forget how pathetic my life is! And that person was Nate." Amanda's face started to redden as a mixture of emotions welled up inside her.

"Amanda your life isn't pathetic. You're not pathetic!" Olivia's hand reached to touch the blonde delicately on the shoulder. Was she going to cry? Or was she just angry? Olivia prayed it wasn't the former.

Amanda ignored the comments while Benson's hand still rested on her body. "Nate saw that vulnerability in me and he…"

"He took advantage that's what he did!" Olivia jumped in. She could see how Nate had used her and it made her sick. "You deserve better!"

I deserve you! Amanda's thoughts wandered. The brunette detective was so reassuring, was she always this perfect?

"Let's face it Liv I'm a sad loner who can only find partners at GA meetings." She laughed to herself. If not only to extinguish her constant thoughts of Olivia and bring herself back to reality.

Olivia's hand moved down the blonde's arm. "Amanda we both know that's not true. Just tell me what the problem is. I'm here, I wanna help." She smiled reassuringly.

"The problem is I'm…" Amanda stopped herself from saying it, she stuttered, trying her hardest to force it out. The junior detective sighed. "I'm…"

"Amanda, you can tell me anything. I am here for you. I promise." The brunette was stuck in anticipation about Amanda's 'secret'.

"You're going to hate me."

"I won't I promise."

"I'm a lesbian. Just don't hate me over it, okay? And you can't tell anyone." She said it fast, like ripping off a Band-Aid.

Olivia couldn't lie, she was shocked. (And happy on the inside now that she knew for a fact the woman she often dreamed about was gay)

"Amanda, hey, Amanda, look at me." Olivia said putting her hand under Amanda's tear-stained chin, forcing her to look in her eyes.

"I don't hate you. I could never hate you. You aren't pathetic, you are perfect, I promise."

This is your fucking chance, Benson. Why don't you just take it?

She angrily scolded herself, but still managed to keep a reassuring smile on her face.

"So you won't tell anyone?" Amanda quizzed as she looked away from Olivia.

"It's our little secret," Benson smiled again hoping to calm the woman.

Rollins sat back down, steadying herself when she realised she had just told someone her biggest secret. Her life suddenly didn't feel like a lie anymore. She felt different somehow. Not only when she thought about her life but when she looked at Olivia, with her brunette hair that was currently draping over one shoulder.

Olivia joined her on the bed, sitting close to her colleague. She raised her hand to Amanda's face and slowly stroked her cheek.

"You're gunna be okay Amanda…If I'm around I swear I'll never let anything happen." Olivia spoke the words so softly that Amanda's heart fluttered the tiniest bit. The blonde moved closer to Olivia and leant her head delicately into the crook of her neck.

Another chance Olivia, take it! She wants you. Why can't you see that?

Benson rolled her eyes, of course the younger woman didn't want her, she just hoped that she did. The brunette's hand found its way to Amanda's, her thumb gently brushed across her skin. That was when Rollins began to intertwine her fingers with Olivia's.

'It felt natural' was the only explanation Amanda could offer herself.

"Thank you, Olivia." Rollins said softly, searching the detectives chocolate brown eyes. The same pair of eyes she gets lost in every day.

"Anytime, Amanda." The brunette replied with a smile, her thumb now stroking Amanda's knuckles.

They were close now. They both could see what they wanted. Clear as day. And even if they did the inevitable, they had a lot of obstacles to jump to get to where they wanted.

Olivia brought her free hand up to Amanda's cheek as they held each other's gaze. Amanda felt her heart kick into overdrive at the intensity of the moment.

They stayed like that. Brown locked with blue. Then Olivia went and did it.

"Kiss me." The brunette whispered. Amanda's heart was pounding so hard in her ears by now, she almost missed the command. She wanted to with every fibre in her being, but something told her no.

Still she leaned in to comply.

Her body was screaming with mixed emotions.

What if we get caught? What if I'm a bad kisser? Amanda's thoughts whizzed about her brain within the few milliseconds she was leaning in.

By now she could feel Olivia's breath grazing her cheek; her lips began to part as she edged nearer. The brunette's hand moved from Amanda's cheek and down to her exposed collarbone.

I want you Amanda Rollins! I need you!

Olivia closed the distance between them as she pressed her lips against Amanda's, the kiss was tender it was sensual. Gradually it deepened; Amanda wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck pulling the two women together. Their affection for each other grew by the second.

Amanda let out a small moan as Olivia caressed her bottom lip with her tongue. The pace began to quicken and the younger woman reached up and began to unbutton the dark haired beauty's shirt.

Olivia became dominant and pushed the junior detective onto her back but Amanda pulled away and sat back upright.

"Liv we can't do this here!" The blonde said quietly, her hand grabbed for Olivia's.

The brunette blinked a few times, before it sunk into her brain. "Yeah. You're right." She said her voice like dry paper.

Once again, they found themselves in a trance. Lost in each other's eyes. It was the type of silence you get after you tell someone you love them. Comfortable and sensual but detailed with tension.

"What does this mean for us?" Olivia broke the silence.

"Anything you want it to be." Amanda replied, her Southern drawl coming out with a sultry smile.

Olivia smiled back before leaning down and placing another soft kiss on the blonde's rosy pink lips.

After the small kiss, the pair stood back up. Olivia knew the problems that they were facing with making this decision. But she'll be damned if that was going to stop her happiness.

"We would eventually have to tell them." Amanda sighed once they reached the door of the cribs.

"Key word: Eventually. Not now. Unless you want to." Olivia answered intertwining her fingers with Amanda's.

"Definitely not now." The blonde was grateful for the warmth of Olivia's hand. She looked to her new lover with another smile. "Anytime but now."
