Harrison and Olivia

11:30 at night at the office, Olivia suddenly heard an knock on the door. She turned around in her swivel chair and saw her right-hand man Harrison standing in the doorway looking at her with a face of worriness. He was always at the office late when she was because he didn't want her at the office by herself at the time of night.

"Is it ok if I come in Liv, I know your busy..I..I just need to talk to you for a minute. said Harrison.

"Sure you can come in". Harrison slowly walked in and took a seat in the chair in front of her desk. "What's the issue Harrison?" Olivia said in a swift tone.

"You tell me what's your issue first". said Harrison in a strong, stern voice.

"My issue? I don't have an issue, im fine Harrison ok?"

"Sure your fine, your ALWAYS just fine, but your in this office sitting by yourself again looking into clear space...AGAIN. Tell me what's bothering you Liv. I already told you that you can tell me anything and You know that!" Harrison rubbed his face and leaned back in the chair and took a deep breath. Harrison always knew that something was wrong with Olivia no matter how much she tried to hide it.

"Harrison...I'm just...ughh...i'm just so tired...stressed out... i'm trying to keep everything together but..." Olivia put her hands on her head in frustration.

Harrison grabbed her hands off her head gently and pulled them into his and caressed them with his thumb. Harrison stared into Olivia's soul without saying a word waiting for her to look up at him. When she finally looked up at his warm, reassuring, caring and sincere look, her body fell to an relax state. She gazed into his dark brown eyes and felt secure. She knew she could confide in Harrison.

"Liv... you remember when you took time out of your day, ...your life to sit with me in an jail cell for hooouurrss...upon hours just because you cared and you dedicated yourself to staying by my side? You were a true friend when nobody else was there for me...not even my parents were there but YOU were."

Olivia's eyes were filled with water.

"Everyday you run around here fixing other people's problems and worrying about other people...helping people...when was the last time you've actually helped yourself?" Harrison's jaw clenched waiting for an answer.

"I haven't in awhile. When I go home, i'm still Olivia Pope and I bring the office with me. I haven't had a legitimate break in years! I don't even remember the last time i've had a good nights sleep". A tear rolled down Olivia's cheek and she stood up at her desk looking at Harrison. Harrison stood up looking at her curiously awaiting her next action. Olivia walked around to the front of her desk where Harrison was and hugged him. She wrapped her arms around his neck really tight and cried in his chest. he held her and caressed her hair. Olivia never shows her vulnerability in front of anyone so Harrison knew Olivia was legit hurting. Harrison was in shock that she actually was comfortable enough to show him that side of her.

"That felt so good to let out. Thank you so much Harrison."

"No problem Liv, anytime" Harrison gave her a warm smile. Olivia walked to her chair and started to put on her coat.

"Umm Liv? Before you leave, I want to ask you something" said Harrison as he looked down at the calender on her desk.

"Yes Harrison?"

"Do we have any major clients or places to be this week or next week?"

"Uhh no I don't think we do. Hold on let me check my schedule on my phone real quick to make sure". She gazed real quick and saw nothing major.

"Um no we actually don't have anything to look into this week or next week suprisingly, haha that's a shocker!" Harrison chuckled and gave an agreeing smile.

" I was wondering sense you've been under so much pressure and stress lately and the fact that you haven't had a break in awhile...would you like to go to Jamaica with me this week? To have a genuinely good time?

"Sooo this isn't a date or honeymoon...just going as two best friends?..No funny business?

"Liv, what kind of guy do you think I am? Of course not! Haha I would never go there like go there..go THERE if you know what I mean if that's..uhh what you thought I was trying to do?" Harrison lifted one eyebrow and eyed her seriously.

"Oh NO not at all! I would never think of you like that. I was just making sure that this wasn't going to be anymore than what you say it is".

"Liv you KNOW we don't roll or get down like that ahaha.. trust me it's going to be FRIENDly and very fun. I promise. So what do you say?"

"Fine Harrison i'll go with you, you just have to promise me...that you take me to your aunt's house over there so she can make me those beef patties again because the last time she brought those to the office, I almost passed out they were so good!" Olivia and Harrison cracked up.

" Okay I will definitely tell her! SO I need you to go home and get some rest. I need you to meet me at the airport at 8:30 am on the dot! Not 8:31 am. Not 9:00 am like you would normally do. Olivia playfully rolled her eyes. "Our flight departs at 8:45 am , are you okay with that?"

"Yeah i"m okay with that. I am...actually excited about this trip. I finally get to relax and get away from things for awhile..wait a minute. I'm talking about me but I know you have to be just as stressed an tired as I am! you do a lot of work around here for 're so dedicated and focused and such a hardworker, your brain should be literally smoking."

" Yeah...but it's worth it because i"m working with the best and for the best."

"Everything I accomplish in this office is because of you guys, I cannot take all the credit"

"You're . You're a BOSS by yourself! Even if we weren't here, u'd still be great".

" I guess so, i'm just saying i'm only as good as my team. My gladiators. I'm so proud of you guys especially you. I've taught you so well. I remember when you were still a baby lawyer just a couple of years ago and now look at you! You're almost the male version of me. No more baby lawyer right Harrison?" Olivia smiled at Harrison. Harrison grinned and chuckled.

"Yes ma'am, no more baby lawyer". Harrison looked at Olivia admiring her, remembering all the things she taught him.

Harrison put on his black pea coat and grabbed his bookbag from his office. He walked to the elevator where Olivia was waiting and hopped on with her to go home.

Olivia rolled over on her plush pillow and nuzzled her nose against it. The sunlight shun in her face causing her to blink rapidly. She looked over at her alarm clock that read 7:04 am. Remembering she had a flight to catch, she hopped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower she quickly ran forgetting a towel to the closet. She hurried and put on a pretty, blue sundress with blue flip flops. She blow-dryed her hair and pulled it into a neat bun. She dragged out two purple suitcases and threw them on the bed and shoved almost all of her summer attire and her other necessitities in there. As if the morning couldn't get anymore hectic, she realized her "friend" decided to come this morning so she quickly ran to get her girl items. It was now 7:52 am and she was downstairs on the phone with Abby to tell her to hold down the office while her and Harrison are away.

"Ooohh so what kind of vacation is this? I've never heard of a couple going on a honeymoon before the wedding". said Abby in a slick, playful tone.

"Abby we are not a couple and this is not a honeymoon, it's a friendly getaway ok? This is no time to play games, i'm already running late! I need to know if you can handle being in charge at the office this week".

"Sure I can Liv, ok".

"Thank you Abby, if you need me call!". Olivia hung up the phone and walked outside to her driver. She greeted him as he went to get her luggage. She got in the limo and called Harrison.

"Hello?" Harrison's deep voice echoed through the phone.

"Hey, this is Olivia. I just wanted to let you know that i'm on my way".

"Oh okay that's great, i'll be waiting for you in the front alright?"

"Yeah okay well i'll see you when I get there ok?"

"Alright bye Liv". He hung up the phone. Olivia sat in the car and she was glowing. She had the jitters so bad her legs couldn't be still. It couldn't be! Is she feeling this way because of Harrison? For some reason, ever since last night and these past months, she'd felt a difference in their relationship. He started to show her that he cared about her more than a co-worker but she never payed it any mind. Was she realizing now because she's starting to have the same feelings? Olivia always trusts her gut feeling and even though she didn't want to believe it her gut feeling was telling her that she indeed was actually starting to care more about Harrison than a co-worker should.

Her driver pulled up to the airport and she saw his golden brown skin a mile away. As the driver pulled up front, she looked out the window and saw Harrison smiling at her showing all his pearly whites. Her driver opened her door and she got out. When she got out, Harrison was in front of her with open arms awaiting a hug. Olivia embraced him in a warm hug. She started to realize she liked the hug more than she should.

"Ayeee you got here on time..wait a minute..you got here on time? Umm are you feeling well?" Harrison chuckled.

"No! I am not fool!". Olivia playfully hit him on his arm. While Harrison helped the driver unload all her luggage, she took that time to observe how cute and rachett he looked. She never saw Harrison not wearing a suit. He was wearing a black NY giants snapback, black v-neck shirt, black basketball shorts, nike tube socks and some black and white jordans. "His skin was flawless! It looked better than mine on my best day!" she thought as she glared at his brown, toned legs."Omg his little biscuit booty!"

When she finally snapped out of her daze, she realized Harrison had been calling her name for awhile because he was clapping and shouting my name.

"Oh my goodness what is wrong with you?! Haha I was calling you for like two minutes and you were just staring at my legs!"

"OMG i'm so sorry, I was daydreaming."

"That's okay, hey it happens to everybody. But we have to hurry or were going to miss our flight."

Olivia and Harrison hurried to their flight and got onboard. Harrison booked them their on private, first-class plane. It was beautiful. Once on the plane, Harrison and Olivia flopped on the soft couch on the plane. Olivia flicked her sandals off and Harrison took off his shoes. Both of them sat back on the chair and Harrison wrapped his arm around Liv's shoulder.

"Are u excited?" said Harrison as he looked down at her laying on his collar bone.

"Yes i'm very excited, i've never been to Jamaica before."

"I promise you you'll looovee it! It's beautiful. Great beaches. Great view. Great great very great weather and my personal favorite part about Jamaica is their bomb food, I could eat it for daaayyss. Have you ever tried ackee and saltfish or curried goat?"

"No but i've always been curious to what it tastes like. Is it good?"

"Yes it's delicious! You have to try it Liv. I'm dead serious."

"I don't knowww, it might bite me.."

"Ohhh myy goshhh hahaha, you are a MESS!" Now they were both laughing on eachother.

"Liv were going to have THE best time."

"I know, I can't wait to get there."
