"What are you doing here?" Olivia asked as she looked around her high end DC condo. "If he sees you..if he knows you were here I will never hear the end of it. Y-you know that.." she trailed off as she continued to pace.
"I don't care, I needed to see you. To know that you were okay." Harrison said as he stood directly in her path to stop her from pacing. He put his hand on her cheek and rubbed lightly. When she leaned into his palm and closed her eyes he let out a breath that he hadn't realized he was holding.
"Har," she breathed out.
"No Liv, stop. Just.. for one second can we just..be us, you and me. Not the CEOs, not the devoted gladiators but just you and me. Please." He silently prayed that she would allow him this moment. He knew he shouldn't be there he knew that she would never return the love that he felt but he knew he owed it to himself to try.
"Fine." She finally gave in knowing that he wouldn't leave until she did so. She had always known that Harrison had a crush on her and though he never acted on it until two weeks ago she knew deep inside that those feelings were there. Yes she and Fitz were having problems but she still loved Fitz and no one's marriage was perfect, right?
"Liv." Harrison said lightly stealing her away from her thoughts as he squeezed her lower back and gently pulled her closer to him. "I said just us, no thinking. Not right now."
She glanced up giving him a small smile before nodding. "Right.."
They stood there for what seemed like an eternity as he held her and she let him. Reluctantly he pulled away and gave her a gentle feather like peck on the lips. "Goodbye, Liv" he said while still impeccably close to her.
"Goodbye, Har" she spoke barely above a whisper as she pulled herself out of his embrace. He walked to the door and stopped with his on the doorknob and gave her one last small smile before heading out.
