I'll be waiting
A/N: This is my first time writing a FF story so take that into consideration! I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1
It was in every gossip mag and social media the clamorous news of the impending marriage of the 30 year old bachelor Fitzgerald Grant and the heir of America's largest Oil companie Mellie Thornton.
Fitz Grant is the son of former Governor of California and 2-times U.S. Senator Fitzgerald "Big Gerry" Grant II,but despite his father's wishes, his reputation consists of partying hard and being a serial dater.
Fitz was first linked to southern belle Mellie Thornton 6 months ago when seen together at a charity function trown by his father. Although the novelty of the couple,acusations of infidelity and public fights are often aired making the break of matrimonial news nothing short of a surprise.
Fitz had barely made it to the airport when he was drowned with the paparazzi and the usual fangirling. Not only was he drop dead gorgeous but he had money and a rep sheet of dozens Top models,actresses and socialites to account for his fame. He was on his way to England to spend a week with friends and have his bachelor party.
Already inside the plane, Fitz got an international call and seeking privacy decided to take it to the restroom..
"Yeah?" Sounding every bit annoyed
"Bonjour darling,where are you?!"
"Gabriella? "
"Who else would it be mon amour?!" The british model tried with her best french accent
Already fed up with her voice and persistence he growled "Why are you calling?"
"I just.. What is this I hear about you getting engaged? When were you going to tell me?!"
"Gabby my relationship with Mellie is no news to you…You knew my situation before France,what do you want from me?!"
"Forget it,I must of lost my mind thinking we were something.." She sounds crushed but that still doesn't change his disinterested demeanor.
"I don't know what to say,just.. take care and I'll see you when I get back to the States" He doesn't wait for a response and promptly hangs up.
He left the bathroom with aloofness,his mind elsewhere .When he came back to it he took notice that he forgot his Iphone
Before getting a chance to enter the cabin he just left he sees the most stunning woman walking out of it. And ,for his luck,she happens to be carrying his property
He approaches her with a knowing smirk "I think you have my phone"
"I might as well confess : I'm a kleptomaniac" She jokes
"I dont believe it" At this point he's not focused on his phone ,his flight nor any coherent thought except her big brown doe eyes and her plump kisseable lips
"I was returning it to the owner, I found it in the- Aaah! "
Fitz tries to take the cell from her but she playfully slaps his hands away.
"Now, just a moment,how do I know it's yours?"
"Uh,well.. there's a picture of a boat as the screensaver"
Liv takes a look at 's a photo of a big yatch on the bluest sea but what surprises her is the back of a topless girl standing on the bow.
"Ah..uhnn.." She tries to hide an unconfortable smile " Is there something else in the pic?"
"Well,there's the ocean and the sun,and Gabby...I mean, a girl sunbathing" He's clearly not embarassed even though he just admited knowing the woman
"I guess that's yours all right.. Wait,is this Gabriella Wilde?"
" I thought she was spending the summer in Cannes with Mellie Thornton.. Oooh don't tell me you're the infamous Fitz Grant! I've read about you somewhere" Her tone is cold,she's clearly not amused with what she just discovered.
Noding and now a little self concious he tries to lighten the mood "Tell me, did you write the song "I'll never smille again"?"
Finally smirking Liv retorts "No,but I'm thinking of writting one called "Moon over La Gabriella", do you think Robin Thicke would perform it ?" She's full of sarcasm. Before he's able to blink she puts the phone in his suit jacket and starts walking away.
"Please wait! Im in trouble,serious trouble!" He says in a hurry,trying to catch up to her
"Well I could've told you, playing around yatchs and models,you sure could use some PR"
"I must talk with someone"
"Oh I'm afraid I'm not very good at that sort of thing "
"But you have such a honest and calm face" He tries
"I have?!" A look of disbelief crosses her features
"I can trust you, can't I?"
"Yes I suppose so"
"Good,come with me"
Visibly unimpressed with his attempt Liv says "Oh but the flight attendant has a honest face too,why cant you talk to her instead?"
"Look,I'm not trying anything here,I just.. Can we have a minute alone,maybe in my seat.I'm sitting by myself"
"Ok,we can talk for a bit,but in my seat"
With no objection he follows her, a little too excited for her taste
Already sitting next to her chair he gets on with conversation
"I'm sorry,I never got to ask,what is your name?"
"Olivia Pope,and I'm travelling 's that what was troubling you?"
"No,but this couldn't be nicer,you saved my life! I was bored to death! I haven't seem one attractive woman since I boarded,isn't that terrible? I was alarmed. I said to myself 'don't beautiful woman travel anymore?' and then I saw you and I was saved I hoped" He ends with the sexiest smile
Liv's got to admit,he may be a playboy but he's really charming, especially with those baby blues and that crooked smile
"Tell me, have you been getting results with a line like that?or would I be surprised?"
They start bickering about cheesy lines,when she retorts "Does your fiancé know the lady of the yatch?"
"Gabriella? She's her best friend"
"Chummy little group" She can't help but think how glad she is to not be involved in that absurd life style.
After some time of silence and contemplation of the sky,Fitz can't resist the chance to make her talk and breaks the ice
"You know,this flight is going much too fast...We gotta take advantage of every moment. Don't you think life should be savoured like fine wine?"
"I like red wine"
"Yes,that's the kind I mean.. Now,is there any reason why this flight shouldn't be... satisfying?" He shoots it with a flirtatious wink
"Uhn Hmm"
"Why?"
Liv takes her phone out of her purse and shows her screensaver .It's a picture of Liv wrapped in some man's arms)
"Oh dear,he wouldn't like it,would he?"
"Nope"
"Your husband? Because let me tell you,I'm not a jealous guy"
"No,Edison is my fiancee and I do believe you on that" She can't believe the nerve this man has
"Why isn't he travelling with you? He should be more careful,the world is full of predators,if you were mine I definitively wouldn't leave your side"
"Well,I'm perfectly fine taking care of myself,I've been doing it for a long time,don't you worry about that. And to answer your question,Edison is a very busy and hard working senator"
"But that doesn't answer my question on the least! That's no excuse for not being with you,he's lacking big time!"
"You must not know how the Senate of our great country works then,but that's not surprising" She can't help to jab at him,but all of a sudden she's thinking of the many many times she had to do things by herself because Edison was "needed" in the Capitol.
"Miss Pope how I wish you weren't mistaken,my father was a two-time senator and mom and I had to suffer through it" He speaks bitterly thinking of all the holidays and birthdays spent just the two of them
Not a second later the voice of the flight attendant was heard and the no smoke/buckle up sign was activated interrupting them mid conversation
A/N 2: Well that was the first instalment! I don't have a second chapter written yet but I have an idea about how this story is going to progress. Please let me know what you think,even if you didn't like it! Thanks for taking the time to read!
