"Jake why do you keep looking out of that window?" A man by the name of Fitzgerald (Fitz for short) Grant III wondered.
He and his best friend, Jake Ballard, were at a simple but elegant restaurant downtown-'Chandra's'. They decided to order a beer for the moment not wanting to eat anything just yet.
"I'm looking for my fiancée.'" Jake responded his eyes not leaving the window.
"Fiancée!?" Fitz blurted out almost choking the death from swallowing his beer too hard.
"You didn't know?" Jake asked finally turning his attention away from the window.
"No! Hell, I didn't even know you were dating. I want to know everything!"
Jake took another sip from his beer and folded his arms together getting ready to explain himself to his best friend.
"Actually, nobody knows about her because I wasn't sure that she was the one. Now I'm positively sure she is the one. She's intelligent, sexy, and takes care of her man."
Fitz raised both of his eyebrows at the news, "How long have you been dating her?"
"About two years."
"When did you propose?"
"Yesterday." Jake couldn't control the upheaval of laughter that belted from his vocal chords as he stared at his best friend's reaction. Fitz's mouth dropped straight to the floor his head cocked to the side.
"We have been boys since the navy, almost twenty years, and this is something you have decided not to tell me? Now I'm all unprepared to meet her because you never told me about her!"
"Like I said I didn't want to parade her around if I wasn't sure about how I felt."
Fitz shook his head at his friend, "how did you propose?"
"Over the phone,"
Fitz was about to take another swallow of his beer until he slammed it back down on the table throwing his head down while shaking it from side to side.
"Why are you still breathing? Who does that? Where's the one-knee?"
Jake shrugged, "I wanted to do something different, I have the ring right here but she doesn't know I have it yet."
"And she said yes?"
"Screamed yes!"
"My man." Fitz reached across the table to slap hands with Jake, although not an approach he would have taken but that was different and tactful nevertheless.
"Fuck, there she is, how do I look?" Jake frantically asked as he spotted his woman at the front door, the waiter that was standing at the front escorted her to where the party she was looking for was sitting, she was coming their way. Fitz had his back turned to her so he didn't get a chance to catch her at first glance.
"You look the same." Fitz replied plainly.
"Well that's good, because I always look fresh." Jake said in a cocky fashion while fixing his collar.
Fitz eyed him as he took another sip of his beer he was too much at times.
"Hey baby!" A gorgeous woman stepped into Jake's embrace, she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and laid a heavy kiss upon his lips. Jake returned the kiss as his hands traveled down her back eventually meeting and squeezing her ass cheeks. She squealed in response to his gesture.
"Hey, I have someone here I think you should meet, Fitz?" Jake tried to get his attention
Fitz, looked up from his cell phone whom wasn't at all paying any attention to the couple's little public rendezvous.
Daaaaaammmmmmmmn. Fitz thought. He wasn't lying when he said she was sexy, matter of fact sexy is an understatement.
Fitz stared at the beautiful chocolate toned woman in front of him. Her full lips revealed two rows of pearly white teeth. Her brown doe eyes were captivating. Her skin was flawless. Her hair pulled up in a fancy up-doo two curly strands on each side of her face. He felt his throat becoming dry as he swallowed hard; his palms were starting to get sweaty. A reaction he's never felt for any woman, she was breathtakingly fine.
"Fitz!" Jake snapped his finger loudly in his face wondering why he was in a frozen state. The sound disturbed his thoughts as he snapped back into reality-to breathing rather.
"Hi." Was all he could say.
"Hi." Olivia blushed.
Fitz got of his seat and grabbed her hand with his as he kissed the back of it, and in that split second was mesmerized by her smell.
"Wow, what a gentleman." Olivia chuckled and looked up at Jake still holding her hand out.
Jake nodded in a 'if you say so' fashion.
The three sat down together at the table looking through the menu, a waitress soon walked up asking them for their orders.
Fitz told her that he was fine and that he had eaten earlier, in reality Olivia's beauty filled his stomach with so many butterflies that he just didn't have the appetite to eat.
Jake ordered a garden salad, and Olivia ordered shrimp alfredo pasta.
"So what is it that you do Fitz?" Olivia asked her eyes lightening up as she was trying to break the silence and get to know her fiancée's best friend.
Again Fitz said nothing. Cat got his tongue? Something like that.
His eyes immediately went to the two cups of luscious brown flesh that were shown from her partially unbuttoned down blouse. Fitz felt so dirty and naughty for eye-raping a woman, especially one that belonged to his friend. He was definitely caught between a rock and a hard place. Get it? A rock and a hard place.
Olivia looked at Jake and wondered how in five minutes this was the second time he has frozen up in front of her, Jake was becoming slightly annoyed.
"Fitz are you okay? Do you need some water or something?" Jake blurted out.
Fitz simply nodded, he had to get out of there. This was way too ackward.
He looked at his watch and twisted his face acting like he was late for something,
"Oh will you look at that? I'm going to leave you two love birds alone I forgot I have to go back to work." Fitz lied.
"Work? This was your day off?" Jake basically blew his cover.
"Yeah about that I …..lied!" Fitz tried his best to come up with something. Before he stood up he grabbed his briefcase and put it in front of him, the blood that rushed to his private area was extremely noticeable.
"Maybe we can talk next time, Mrs…."
"Pope, Olivia Pope." Olivia nodded and smiled at the funny acting gentleman she just met.
He rushed out of the door quickly, Olivia and Jake stared as well as a few others in the restaurant.
"Your friend is weird." Olivia stated as she leaned back in her chair placing a hand on Jake's chest.
"Very, I wanted him to see this but oh well." He got up from his chair and bent down on one knee facing her. Olivia's mouth popped open as he her hands cupped her mouth and nose, staring at the diamond in the opened box.
Well how did you guys like my first Fanfiction? I know it's short but I wanted to see how it would be received, before I wrote anymore. I hope it wasn't cliché or done before, I tried to come up with something new, which is hard since there are a lot of fantastic and talented writers on fanfiction.
