Chapter 1

"Is he gay?" Big Jerry asked himself as he watched his son from across the room. His eyes opened wide at the thought. "Could he be? No. He is about to run for Governor. There has never been a gay Governor period." " I mean this is absurd, absolutely ridiculous, completely—

"Honey?" Big Jerry turned to see his wife standing by his side. Elizabeth Grant had watched her husband for some time now wondering what was he doing there just standing staring at their son. "Is everything ok?" Elizabeth said. "Ah yes everything's fine". Big Jerry held up his glass from the table and took a generous amount finishing it in one swallow.

Elizabeth eyed her husband . " Jerry we have been married for 40 years, I know when you are lying and quite frankly you suck at it". Big Jerry let out a breath and looked at his wife.

"What's going on"? she said this time with a little more concern. "Don't you worry about Fitz?" "Worry how?" Big Jerry pulled his wife in a nearby corner of the room away from prying ears.

"That Fitz is gay"! Big Jerry finally said.

Elizabeth's eyes widened at what her husband just said. Big Jerry bowed his head in shame feeling like an idiot for thinking such a thing about his son, preparing himself for what his wife would do for even thinking it.

"You too?!" Big Jerry snapped his head up at what his wife said. "So you felt the same way and didn't tell me! Elizabeth said " You didn't tell me either"!

Big Jerry was relieved that it was not only him. "But come on Jerry Fitz hasn't gone on one date in 2 years. All the girls we through at him is rejected. I mean the boy is starting to scare me." Elizabeth said while watching her son.

"Maybe we should ask him" No. Jerry said. " But wouldn't he display some sort of gay tendencies by now"? Elizabeth said thinking more on Fitz's actions.

"I don't know" Jerry said.

Elizabeth and Big Jerry just stood there watching their son

Fitz had been sitting at the bar for an hour now just nursing his tumblr of scotch. He had watch people pass and heading to the dance floor eating, drinking, and having a good time.

" This party sucks". He said to himself.

Fitz felt like he was being watched and turned to the right direction only to see his parents staring at him. He waved and they waved back with a fake smile plastered on their faces.

"Oookay" Fitz said turning back with a questionable face.

"I am so bored; maybe I should just go home." Fitz decided.

He look down at his still full glass and said "ehhh 5 more minutes."

Olivia ran the warm water on the paper towel with the soap.

"Damn" she said and trying to rub out the wine spot that was on her white dress . She had manage to get it out before it had a chance to set in and stain but now a wet patch would be on her dress for the rest of the night. " Just what I needed".

"Ahh"! Getting frustrated she through the paper towel in the garbage and walked out of the ladies restroom. Olivia dug her hand in her purse to check the time but was met with a black screen. Her phone was dead.

"Great! Could this night get any better."

"Where is Cyrus" she thought

She walked to the bar trying to find someone that can give her the time. She didn't want the Governor Grant and his family to leave before she had a chance to meet and introduce herself to them.

She came up to the side of a man and said "Excuse me do you have the time?" Fitz not looking at the person uncovered his watch from his suite jacket and said "9:42". Fitz looked up and was taken aback. She was average height a little taller maybe because of her heels but 5'4 , 5'5 Caramel coco butter silk skin, brown doe eyes, cute nose, pouty pink soft lips, short mid shoulder bone straight hair, and a coca-cola shape body. Fitz stared and said to himself "She is beautiful".

"Thank you" Olivia said as she walked off. "He's Handsome" she thought.

Fitz watched as she disappeared into a crowd of people still captivated by the unknown female.

"Well at least there was one highlight that came out of this boring party" He said paying for his drinks he had that night and heading home.

"Olivia!" Cyrus said.

"There you are I have been looking all over for you. Let's go meet the potential candidate and his parents." Cyrus said with enthusiasm. Taking Olivia by the arm they walked over to the Governor and his wife.

"Governor and Mrs. Grant I would like to introduce you to Olivia Pope. She is D.C. finest fixer." Cyrus said with pride.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Pope" Big Jerry and Elizabeth said simultaneously shaking her hand.

"So you're the one that is going to get my son elected for Governor?" Big Jerry said

"I will be his campaign manager and fixer" Olivia said

"You come highly recommended by Cyrus which means you must be good" Olivia smiled

Elizabeth said "well isn't she a pretty little thing. Absolutely gorgeous!" making Olivia blush.

"Thank you Mrs. Grant" said Olivia

"Where is Fitzgerald he should be here Cyrus can you go find him I think he is still by the bar" Elizabeth said

"With pleasure" Cyrus said walking off making long strides with his legs.

Your reputation precedes you I think you will make this campaign shine. Elizabeth said while looking at Olivia from head to toe. With Big Jerry agreeing.

Cyrus came back 5 minutes later and said "Sir the bartender said that he went home for the evening. He said he was tired. "

"Oh well maybe you will get the chance to meet him tomorrow." Big Jerry said. Olivia nodded

"Let's say my office at 10:00 a.m." Big Jerry continued. Olivia shook her head 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
