Summary-Olivia Pope is law student who meets a charming Fitzgerald Grant. Fitz is used to getting any woman he wants with his charm and good looks. That is until he meets Olivia Pope. To get her will take more than his charm and good looks. She is the woman that is like no other.

Olivia Pope is a brilliant law student at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, MA. She has always wanted to practice law to help right the wrongs created by an unjust society. She was 24 with an undergraduate degree in Psychology from George Washington University. She chose Harvard because she wanted to study of the mind of Cyrus Beene. Cyrus's ruthless, take-no-prisoners style of law was fascinating to her. After meeting her, Cyrus was very impressed with her knowledge and charisma. He offered to be her mentor and gave her a job as his teaching assistant. She was thrilled and promised not to let him down.

She lived off-campus in an apartment complex with a fellow law student named Abby Whelan. She and Abby met during orientation. They immediately took a liking to each other and were both looking to rent an apartment with a roommate. Olivia's father paid her rent and car note with the agreement that she would move back to DC after she finish school to work for a local law firm. Olivia loved her parents but felt they could be overbearing at times but she reluctantly agreed.

Her first semester was going great. She had no trouble in any of her classes. She spent most of time studying but she did party occasionally. She welcomed the much needed rest that came with fall break.

"Let's go to New York for the week," yelled Abby from the bathroom.

"New York sounds nice but I don't want to be bothered with the crowds." Olivia replied. She lay on the couch exhausted from her day.

Abby came out of the bathroom and stood over her smiling, "Who said anything about going into the city." She had this devilish grin on her face that made Olivia sit up and notice.

"OOOOkay. What do you have in mind?"

"Well, I was talking with Harrison, Huck and Quinn from down the hall. We were thinking about renting a house in the Hamptons for the week. We want to throw this huge house party. It is going to be awesome. Plus there will be some rich sexy guys up there. You may even snag you a husband."

Olivia scoffed and said, "No thank you. Rich guys think that every woman wants them and every man wants to be with them. Give me a hard-working man any day of the week."

"Anyway," said Abby as she rolled her eyes, "Are you in or are you going back home so mommy and daddy can baby you for the week."

Olivia thought for a minute. (Really, wasn't much to think about) and decided to go to the Hamptons with her friends.

Fitzgerald "Fitz" Grant III was what most people considered to be a pretty boy. He was 29 and fresh out of the navy. He was quite the ladies' man. No woman could resist the Grant charm. He was trying to decide what he was going to do with his life. His father, Fitzgerald "Big Jerry" Grant, already had his life planned for him. Fitz wanted to be his own man and do things his way which is why he joined the navy. His father was expecting him to come home and marry Mellie. But he didn't like her let alone love her. Besides, he never saw himself as the marrying type. There are too many women out here for him to be tied down to one woman. So Fitz and a few of his navy buddies have decided to rent a house in the Hamptons for the week because they know it is going to be some outrageous parties.

Fitz and his buddies, Jake and Tom, were sitting on the porch when a grey Mercedes E-350 pulled into the driveway next door. Two women got out the car. The passenger was white with long red hair. The driver was black with shoulder-length dark hair. Fitz couldn't take his eyes off the driver. He was in a daze when he heard Tom say, "God bless America!"

The guys burst out laughing. They were all drawn to the women until they saw two guys come out of the house to get the suitcases out of the car. They assumed they were their boyfriends even though no one kissed. Their curiosity got the best of them and they decided to meet their neighbors.

The guys walked over to the car. Fitz was the first to speak, "Hey guys, we are your neighbors for the week. Thought we would come over and introduce ourselves. I am Fitz, this is Jake (pointing to Jake), and this is Tom (pointing to Tom)." Everyone nodded in recognition as they introduced themselves one by one.

"I am Harrison."

"I am Quinn."

"I am Huck."

"I am Abby"

"And I am Olivia." Fitz eyes were fixated on her as she spoke her name. Her voice sounded like an angel. Fishing for information, he started back talking, "So what brings you guys up here? A couples' getaway."

The five of them looked and each other then burst into laughter. Olivia spoke and said, "No, none of us are couples. We are college students from Harvard just trying to enjoy our fall break. And what about you guys?"

Jake spoke up and said, "We recently got out of the navy and wanted to enjoy a little R &R before we head into the real world and enjoy the rest of our lives."

Abby smiled at Jake and said, "Interesting. Well we are planning a party and we do hope that you will come."

Fitz smiled at Olivia and said, "We wouldn't miss it for the world. Nice to meet you. We will let you finish getting settled."

The three guys walked away into their house while the other five unloaded the car and went inside their house.

Abby looked at Olivia and whispered, "Somebody has their eyes on you. Did you notice?"

Olivia sighed and said, "I noticed, but I wasn't impressed. It will take more than charm and a pretty smile."

As she walked up the stairs to her room, Abby said, "It's funny how you noticed the pretty smile."

Olivia smiled and thought quietly to herself, "Yes I did."
