Disclaimer: I Do not own any of the Scandal Characters

It was a typical Sunday afternoon for Fitzgerald Grant, sitting at a local starbucks, nearby George Washington University. He had been studying for hours prepping for an upcoming exam in his development politics class.

For Some reason, today was different. He was distracted for the first time while studying. Every Sunday, he would sit in his usual spot in the library and then have Mellie quiz him to be sure he was prepared. For one, Mellie couldn't make it, which he was thankful for, seeing he had been needing a bit of break from her lately. This sunday though, he saw a young woman who looked familiar but he wasn't too sure.

She had the most beautiful cocoa brown complexion, and curls that touched her shoulders, and wore jeans that fit just right. She sat a few tables across from him and he could not seem to get his eyes off of her.

He had been contemplating saying something to her since he laid eyes on her, but didn't want to be a distraction while she was studying. "It wouldn't hurt to try" he thought. "But what exactly am I going to say her?"

Fitz finally conjured up enough courage to head over to where she was seated. Walking over he was becoming nervous, and started questioning why he was going in the first place. "I have a girlfriend" "It's ok to make new friends right?"

"Hi" was the only word that came out of his mouth.

"Hi" she said back, wondering what exactly he wanted from her. Not that she didn't want him to say anything, because she did from the moment she noticed him watching her.

"Well you looked for familiar and I just wanted to know if you attended GWU?" he asked in his baritone voice.

"Yes, I'm an undergrad, studying Political Science."

"Well that's one thing we have in common, I'm a poli sci major too." "What are you studying for? I bet I could help" At this moment, he just wanted to know as much about her as possible. He was suddenly drawn to her and he didn't even understand why.

She tilted her head back and giggled and he smiled, happy to know he was the cause of that.

"Well im studying for Intro to Comparative Politics, but I'm sure I can handle studying on my own thank you." she answered as she closed her textbook.

As he was about to speak, he heard her phone vibrate. "I'm sorry, but I need to meet someone on campus" "It was nice meeting you though-

"Fitzgerald Grant, or you could call me Fitz" he said before she went away. "What is your name by the way?"

"Olivia, Olivia Pope.

"Before you leave, just one thing, please." Fitz just needed a little more time with her before she was gone.

"Stand with me for one minute, please?" She looked up into his piercing blue eyes and couldn't help but move nearer to him.

"Ok, one minute" They stood for one minute, looking into each other eyes, both knowing that no matter what their dreams may be, after today they had to be in each others lives.

Olivia pulled away and told Fitz she had to go. Fitz watched her walk away and enjoyed the sway of her hips as she did. He didn't know how, but Olivia Pope would be his.
