Girls Night Out

Chapter 7

They hung out for a while. They walked along the beach again. The silence between them not awkard but actually comfortable like it was supposed to be like this. It was just nice. Amanda hoped Liv would stay the weekend so they could work on things and even see if they were going to actually progress.

Amanda took Liv's hand, "So have you made up your mind whether or not you're going to stay? I'm kinda hoping you stay, but you are the leiutenant and I do understand if you need to get back." Liv squeezed Amanda's hand, "I do need to get back." As she said that she could see Amanda's face fall. Amanda nodded, "I understand Liv, I really do." Liv gently touched her chin to make Amanda look in her eyes. "Amanda granted I do need to get back and I should, I am also entitled to some time off. I deserve it dont ya think? I sure as hell do. And you know what else?" Amanda half smiled, "What else Liv? You got me curious." Liv smiled, "Well my dearest Amanda, I think it can be worked that I can stay. One thing though, I only booked my room for last night. Where am I gonna stay?" Amanda grinned, she couldnt believe her luck that Liv was actually going to stay. "Well I do happen to have a room for the weekend. Um, you did come to see me, at least thats what you told me. So why not stay with me?"

Liv held Amanda's hand and thought for a minute. She really did want to stay. She wanted and needed to prove to Amanda that she did want this, that she wanted them. Just before she answered she brought Amanda's hand up to her lips and gently laid a kiss on her knuckles. "If you really want me to stay and are sure that I wont be putting you out then I'll be more than happy to spend the rest of the weekend with you."

Amanda smiled, practically on cloud nine. "Of course you wont be putting me out. I wouldnt have asked you to stay if I felt that. Is it going to be hard to change your flight til Monday morning? Thats when I fly out?" Liv had to pull the blonde in her arms, she had to feel her, had to hold her. "No sweetie, it wont. I'm just glad that I'm staying with you." And with that they sat there looking at the ocean together. Ready to embark on this new adventure together. After a bit longer Amanda suggested they go and get Liv's things and get them set up in her room. She hoped Liv didnt feel forced into staying. Liv agreed. She was grateful for Amanda's forgiving nature. When they got to Liv's room to get her things Amanda sat on the chair and watched her. Thinking 'is this really gonna work? is this just nice cause they are away?' She didnt say anything though, she kept her thoughts to herself. She didnt want to upset Liv at all. She was tired of being abandoned when she made someone angry so she figured to not have that happen she would just keep her mouth shut.'

After they finished there, they walked to where Amanda was staying. She was happy to have Liv stay for the weekend with her. Her insecurities though, they were trying to come out and mess with her. As much as she cared for Liv, she just didnt feel worthy enough for her. She looked at Liv, "So what would you like to do tonight? Last night I went out and enjoyed the night life before running into you. Would you like to do that with me tonight?" Liv glanced back at Amanda as she was setting her things in the room. "Sure sweetie. Whatever you would like to do. I think a night out could do us good." Amanda smiled. She kinda wanted to do karoake again. "Hey beautiful, you wanna go do karoake, NSB style?" Liv glanced back at her from unpacking her clothes. "Nahh you're the one who's beautiful. I'm game for karaoke though my ass aint singing. Ill go if you promise to sing. I love hearing your voice. I've wanted to hear you sing again since you sang 'Whatever You Do, Dont' the last time." Amanda blushed lightly. She wasnt used to compliments. What she was used to was being told to shut up. She was told that in Georgia and she was told that by Nate. Thinking to herself 'what the fuck did I ever see in that man? Oh shit, I have to answer Liv.' In her southern drawl she answered, "If you really want me to sing. I think I can bring a song with me." Liv came over and touched Amanda's cheek. "I would really like to hear you sing." Amanda smirked, she was going to have some fun with this. "What do I get if I follow through with this request?" Liv winked, "I'm pretty sure I can think of something worth your while."

Since now Amanda was going to sing tonight, she had to put together the perfect outfit. 'Dammit what the hell was she going to wear? Does she dress sexy? Does she dress nicely, just enough to get Liv's attention without going overboard.' She really didnt have much to choose from which kinda helped, kinda not. She settled on a pair of blue skinny boyfriend jeans, a spaghetti strap pale pink tank top, with a pair of sandals. She pulled her hair up in ponytail with wispy bangs. She added her gold hoop earings and her gold charm necklace that she always wore. It was almost like her good luck charm. When Liv looked at her and got to see her eyes with the outfit well damn. "Amanda you look gorgeous. But then again you always do look pretty. I think its cause you're a blonde haired blue eyed beauty." Amanda blushed majorly. Liv decided to settle on black slacks and a deep blue dress shirt. Not that she had much to choose from cause she hadnt expected to stay. She had worn her dress shoes. So thats what she was stuck with. Amanda whistled. "Well damn, look at you Liv." Liv smiiled and blushed. "Well my beautiful date are we ready to head off? And you are going to sing, right?" Amanda smiled, "With a request like that, how can I say no? You seem to really want me to sing again so yes sweetie I will sing."

They decided to walk to the karoake bar. It wasnt far from where their hotel was. It was a nice refreshing walk. They walked hand in hand. Each of them feeling little sparks between them. Almost like that it was supposed to be like this, that this was a sign of some sorts. Since Amanda was a frequent to New Smyrna Beach alot of the locals knew her and smiled when she walked in. You heard "Hi Amanda" from all over the place. Liv raised her eyebrows. "Well my dear Amanda, you seem to have quite the following here. I can tell you frequent here when you vacation." Amanda smiled. "Yeah I kinda do. What can I say I like to be out and about."

They made their way to the bar and ordered a couple drinks. Hell even the bartender asked if Amanda was going to sing. He too told her he loved the sound of her voice. He also told her that if she sang tonight that her and her friends drinks were on the house for the night. Amanda laughed and answered. "I am only gonna do one song, but I wanna have a drink first and get settled in." The bartender agreed and set up their tab. Amanda took Liv's hand and lead her to a table where they could talk. It was just nice. After about an hour when they went up to get more drinks the bartender again asked. Amanda chuckled. "Okay okay I get the hint. Ill take my blonde ass over there now. Come on Liv you're gonna be front row." Liv smiled. Amanda told the dj the song she wanted. Took him a few minutes to upload it but he got it for her. He could tell it had a special meaning to it, as he watched how Amanda eyed the brunette.

"This is going out to someone very special to me. Hope she enjoys it."

The crowd roared when Amanda finished. Amanda smiled, blushed and thanked them. She couldnt get over the fact they all really liked her singing. As when she was little and even older as an adult with past people she'd been told to "shut the fuck up" with regards to Fin, he loved when she jammed out. But now it seemed she had gained herself a new fan. A new fan that had become very important to her over the past couple weeks. Liv took her hand and guided her to their table. "Well hell there Mandy, that was just DAMN! I get to go home with you tonight? Shit I better make it worth your while before one of these other suitors does." Liv pulled her closer, placing her hands on the petite blondes hips, looking deep into those beautiful blue orbs this woman possessed. She kissed her hotly and passionately. When they broke the kiss Manda answered her. "Never will another take me home. I've got the best looking date in here. Didnt you listen to the lyrics Liv? They were meant for you. Now let's get out of here and enjoy ourselves privately, if you catch my drift." As Amanda said that she made sure to nip at Liv's ear to show her that she didnt want or need an audience around for what she wanted to do Liv. Liv kissed her lips. "My sentiments exactly. Lets go my beauty."
