Ella Beene-Novak was a well renowned writer just like her father James Novak three times Pulitzer winner. She wanted to write a new book to and she had an amazing idea. She wanted to write the love story of her God-Parents Fitzgerald Grant and Olivia Grant. They had a love like nothing she has never seen and she hoped she would be blessed to find her soul mate. She picked up the phone and called the Grant household.

"What?" Even at the tender age of 71 Olivia still answered the phone the same.
Ella stifled a laugh "Hey Aunt Liv, I was wondering if I could come over and run an idea across you and uncle Fitz.?"
"Sure sweetie, see you in a few."
Forty-five minutes later Ella rang the doorbell to her God-Parents' home in Bethesda Maryland.
Fitz opened the door, at the wonderful age of 80 he was still handsome and had that killer Grant smile. "Ellie! You look beautiful as ever, come on in."
He stepped aside for her to walk through the house to the outside patio. Ella sat across from her God parents at the table. Olivia brought out lemonade and some fruit. She sat down next to her husband and her hand instantly went to his.
"What's up E?" Olivia asked as she sipped her lemonade.
"Well I want to write a book."
"Another one? You're on a roll Ellie, that's good what on?" Fitz asked as he popped a grape in his mouth
She took a deep breath before continuing "I want to write a book on you and Aunt Liv's love story." She held her breath as she let that sink in.
she wasn't sure why she was so nervous but she really wanted to write about it.
Olivia looked at Fitz and they both smiled at each other, they turned to her. "Sure." They both said.
"But how will we do this? Will we write it and send it to you?"
Ella was jumping for joy inside but held her excitement in, "I will come by weekly and have a voice recorder to record what you say, once we get everything down I hook it up to my computer and it will basically create the words you say into a word document. Then I take what I want and turn it into a story."
"Technology, something I never understood." Fitz said as he shook his head and ate another grape.
"That's because you're an old man baby." Olivia joked as she sipped her lemonade. He leaned over to her and tried to whisper, "That's not what you said last night."
"Oh ew uncle Fitz, just… ew."
"Oh hush E, you are more than grown to know how to handle your uncle and his horniness."
"Yuck Auntie, just yuck. Shouldn't you guys not be doing that? Like Can't uncle Fitz have a heart attack form all the excitement?" she tried not to laugh but she couldn't hold it in. Olivia soon joined in.
"Not funny Ellie, for your information I'm in great shape and my heart is fine. Your aunt always jumps my bones, so ask her about her horniness."
Olivia elbowed Fitz in his side and he kissed her cheek.
"Eww, ugh forget I even said anything. So next week we can start, sound good?"
"Sounds great E. want to stay for dinner? Your uncle is making lasagna."
"Yum! I'm down!"

After getting the go ahead from her publisher Ella made her way to her Aunt and Uncle's house. She already knew they would be out on the porch so she used the key they gave her and walked out to the patio. "Hey guys, you ready? I have my equipment."
"Sure sweetie, I have fruit and lemonade." Olivia said as she poured everyone a glass.
"So where do you want us to start Ellie?" Fitz asked as he kissed Olivia's cheek as a 'Thank you'
"Ugh, well how about after Aunt liv was ousted as your ugh… you know."
Olivia chuckled, "Yes we can start there when I was ousted as Fitz' mistress."
Fitz winced, Olivia placed her hand on his and squeezed. "Ready?"

Olivia's phone was ringing non-stop she couldn't take it. She was pissed who the hell told about her and Fitz and furthermore what the hell was her father doing back? She thought he was in prison. Who let him out? Why did they let him out? she couldn't take the ringing anymore she threw her phone against the wall and watched as it shattered. She didn't even dare turn on the news because she knew her name was being dragged in the mud.
She heard a loud knock on her door and she was hesitant to answer until she heard Harrison's voice. "Liv! It's us open up!" She walked out of her bedroom and opened the door, Harrison, Huck Abby and Quinn walked in. she closed the door took a deep breath before facing her team.
Abby stared hot daggers into her flesh while everyone else seemed, concerned and worried. Quinn spoke up first, "You okay?" "No, hell no I'm not okay. My name… I- I can't believe this." Olivia started pacing again.
"Is it true?" Abby asked, Olivia heard the malice, she expected that but she also heard the hurt and it tore at her.
Olivia stopped pacing and faced her longtime friend. "Yes." No need to beat around the bush or lie to them any longer. "Yes, it's true. We have been together since the campaign trail. It wasn't supposed to happen, we weren't supposed to fall in love but we did. That is why I quit my job at the white house. It wasn't supposed to get this far but… but I love him." Abby scoffed, "You… you know how I feel about people like that, people like you. Whores-"
"Abby! Enough!" Harrison yelled. Olivia put up her hand, "No, let her finish."
"Whores like you ruined my marriage. Whores get nowhere in life. You kept this from me, I'm supposed to work for you and be your 'gladiator' but you can't be honest with us?!"
The room was silent, nobody said anything Abby stared Olivia down and Olivia didn't back down, staring her friend down back. Neither giving, neither wanting to admit they were both wrong.
"I'm done, you guys have fun trying to spin this I'm done." Abby stalked towards the door past Olivia without a word.
"Abbs-" Harrison called out. Olivia shook her head no, if Abby wanted to leave nobody should stop her.
Abby kept walking, out the door and out of Olivia's life, and it hurt…bad. XxX "What do you want to do?" Quinn asked as she typed away at her laptop tracking stories and trying to find credible sources. "Nothing." Olivia said, the exhaustion in her voice evident. Everyone froze, and looked at her like she just spoke Latin. "What do you mean nothing?" Quinn and Harrison asked
"Exactly what I said, nothing, I'm tired of fighting my conscious, I'm tired of lying and I am just tired of being tired."
"Okay." Huck said, that was the first time ince they walked into her apartment he has said anything.
Quinn and Harrison just shrugged their shoulders and shut down their computers.
"We will find the leak later, right now I just want to relax. I just want to let the world know what I am… the President's mistress." XxX "WHO THE HELL LET THIS SHIT COME OUT?!" Cyrus yelled as he walked to the Oval, he stomped his way through the halls splitting the crowd of people like the red sea. He pushed the door open and it swung back and hit the wall.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO FITZGERALD?!" "YOU THINK I DID THIS?!" Fitz yelled back "You think I wanted her name dragged through the mud like that, they are saying some harmful things and I can't even talk to her. I can't figure out where her head is!"
"You went back to Mellie! That shouldn't matter anymore!"
"Why can't you see that I'm only doing this to get through this term and my next?! I don't want this anymore! Hell I'm not even sure if I ever did! I want her!" Cyrus flopped down on the couch and let out a loud sigh. "You can't have her Fitz. It's over, let it go." "Could you? Could you let James go?" Fitz asked, it was taking everything in him not to break down, he needed her. He needed her and he knew he couldn't have her. "No, no sir I couldn't. but me and you aren't the same. So don't try and use me to compare. You made your choice, now you have to live with it." Without another word Cyrus left and Fitz let the tears fall.

"Wow, well I think that is enough for the day. So what's for dinner I'm starved?" Ella asked as she packed away her equipment.
"I made Jerk chicken with fried cabbage and rice." Olivia said as she began to clear the table.
"Mind if I stay?"
***well I hope you guys liked this! I think I will enjoy writing this almost asmuch as presidential love story. Anyways leave me reivews!*** p.s any ideas on who the leak is?
