Hello everyone I'm back, only with a one shot this time. This is my first one shot, so take it easy on me lol. I hope you enjoy!
To say that Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III was living a complicated life would be the understatement of the year. At thirty years old, Fitz was a successful corporate law consultant for his father's firm. Fitz loved his job, not only because he got to work for his father, but he got to travel a lot, and he always managed to get the job done. Fitz had the looks and the charm. He was smooth and could charm the pants off of anyone with ease. Many definitely fell victim to his good looks and way with words. He knew how to talk to people and capture their attention. He would have made a great politician if he was interested in politics. Fitz took great pleasure in what he did for a living. He enjoyed the salary he received that allowed him to live a comfortable lifestyle, which he was already accustomed to since his family was wealthy. Well, his father was wealthy from owning the most prestigious corporate law firm in California.
Fitz, like anyone else that worked for Grant Consulting, had to earn his paycheck. He attended Harvard Law, where he received his Associate's, Bachelor's, and Master's. Once Fitz finished school, he started working at Grant Consulting. Big Jerry, however, didn't just give Fitz a job because he was his son. He interviewed him and made sure that he was qualified for the job. Fitz also didn't want the job handed him or any kind of special treatment. He had to work hard to get to where he was today. It was good that he and Big Jerry were on the same page. Big Jerry was proud of the work his son accomplished and hoped that in a few years he could finally retire, leaving his firm for Fitz to take over. For right now though, Fitz wasn't quite ready to take on such a big responsibility and they both knew that.
Fitz needed to get his personal life sorted out before he took over Grant Consulting. At the moment, he was engaged to Melanie "Mellie" Crenshaw. She and Fitz met at one of his father's business dinners. Mellie was a lawyer that worked for Langston and Beene Law Firm. She was a no nonsense, ruthless lawyer and caught Fitz' attention. Her tough as nails persona turned him on. They had been together for five years and Fitz proposed eight months ago. He felt satisfied with his decision to make Mellie his wife. She was perfect for him and he loved her. She was beautiful, intelligent, independent, successful, well respected, knew how to communicate with people, and looked good on his arm.
The only flaw Mellie had was her inability to bear children. Well Mellie considered that her only flaw and figured that that was going to be a problem in their relationship. Fitz had assured her that she was more than enough for him and would take whatever she was able to give him. It didn't bother him that she couldn't carry his child. He meant what he said for the first three years of their relationship. However, that all changed when he met someone else. Fitz had been carrying on in another relationship for the past two years with Olivia Pope, a twenty- two year old college student. She lived on the east coast in New York, where she attended New York University for nursing.
She and Fitz met at the restaurant she worked at. Fitz had been in New York for business and was meeting a friend for lunch. Olivia had been their waitress. When Fitz laid eyes on her for the first time, his heart skipped a beat. He swore he had never seen, let alone met a woman as breathtakingly beautiful as Olivia. Of course Fitz had to make a move before another man, like his friend Andrew, who had also been eyeing her, did. He put on the Grant charm, which Olivia fell for, but she also reluctantly turned him down. Fitz hadn't been expecting that at all, which made her even more appealing to him. Olivia tried to play hard to get and Fitz eagerly accepted her challenge, if it meant he got to have her at the end of the day. Long story short, he eventually got her after she made him jump through some hoops. Olivia liked that Fitz was persistent and finally gave in.
After their second date, they became a couple. Olivia knew that Fitz was a corporate law consultant and his job's description required him to travel a lot, so she understood when he had to leave. She knew everything there was to know about him, except for one small detail… HE WAS ALREADY TAKEN BY ANOTHER WOMAN that lived on the other side of the country. Fitz was going to break things off with Olivia before things got too serious between them, but he couldn't. He loved being with her. She brought out a completely different side of him that he wasn't aware existed before her. She brought the open, carefree, goofy side of him out. They always had a good time together and rarely ever argued.
Another reason why Fitz didn't want to break up with Olivia was because his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. He had a jealous, possessive side to him that hated the thought of another man with his girl. He didn't want to view Olivia as a piece of property that he owned, but he had to claim her somehow. Fitz didn't plan for things to go as far as they did, but he started catching feelings, which turned into something much deeper. He fell in love with her. He loved her, but he felt the same exact way for Mellie. Fitz did his best commuting from coast to coast. Majority of the time he lied about going away on business to spend time with the women in his life. Fitz wasn't the typical two timing dog, most cheaters are. He really loved both women. He knew that didn't justify what he was doing and he wasn't using it as an excuse, it was just how he genuinely felt.
Fitz didn't want to lose either of them, but knew it was only a matter of time before he had to let one of them go. Which one, he had no idea. He would cross that bridge when he got to it, regardless of the many warnings he received from his family and friends. Everyone knew about his 'situation'. His parents were the first to find out, well they found out when Fitz told them about his relationship with Olivia. Of course, they didn't approve of his way of living and told him that it would catch up to him if he didn't end things with one of the women soon. Fitz' mother Julia, even slapped him in hopes of knocking some sense into him. Even though his parents disapproved with his choice of living, they agreed to fly to New York to meet Olivia. They instantly fell in love with her and understood why Fitz felt the way did about her and didn't want to let her go, but they still didn't approve of what he was doing.
Fitz then introduced his younger sister, Jenelle, to Olivia and the two of them hit off right away, partially because they were the same age and had a lot in common with each other. Jenni, as everyone called her, wasted no time expressing how much she liked Olivia to her older brother. She told him she liked Olivia a million times more than she liked Mellie when he asked what she thought of Olivia. Fitz' friends also immediately took a liking to Olivia because they said she was "laid back and not uptight like Mellie." Fitz was happy that his family and friends adored Olivia as much as he did. Fitz also got the pleasure of meeting Olivia's parents and older brother Elijah Jr. or as he liked to be called E.J. and her closest friends Abby and Quinn. Fitz didn't need to put on his charm for Olivia's family or friends because they naturally took a liking to him.
Fitz was happy that both of their families and friends approved of them and their relationship. However, that still didn't change the way he felt about Mellie. He felt guilty for paying so much attention to Olivia and his unfaithfulness, so he proposed to her. He had no idea why he made such a rash decision, but he couldn't take it back especially since Mellie excitingly accepted his proposal and told everyone they knew about their engagement that same day. All the people that knew about both of Fitz' relationships, wasted no time calling him offensive names and cursing him out. His only response was that he proposed in a moment of weakness, which was true. Mellie had been bringing up the topic of marriage for a while and his guilty conscience ate at him to a point where he finally just relented. Proposing to Mellie was just the first idiotic decision Fitz made.
The second one, was when he went back to New York and told Olivia that he wanted her to have his baby. At first she thought he was joking, but the look on his face told her he was dead serious. He wanted to get her pregnant. Olivia listed all of the reasons why then wasn't a good time for them to have a baby. She was only twenty- two, still in college, which was very expensive, she lived in a dorm with her friends and had no space for a baby, they weren't married, he was always traveling and only in New York for a couple of days at a time, and she didn't want to be labeled as the girl who got knocked up by a successful older white man to trap him. Fitz assured her that he would take care of everything financially and not to worry about anything else. She considered the idea and realized by the time she had their baby, she would have already graduated college and could take a year off before going to work. Fitz also bought an apartment for them to show how serious he was, so the few days he spent in New York, they made love nonstop. At that point, Fitz stopped thinking with his brain and started thinking with his heart.
Two weeks later, Olivia called up Fitz with the exciting news. Fitz was ecstatic. Again, his family and friends raised hell for his poor decision making, at the same time, they couldn't help but be happy for him. His sister and friends were relieved that he was at least having a baby with Olivia and not Mellie. Everyone was excited to meet Baby Grant. When Olivia was five months pregnant, she and Fitz found out the sex of their baby. They decided to keep the sex of their baby a surprise. Their families and friends would have to wait to find out until the baby was born. Over the course of Olivia's pregnancy, Fitz had been there for her as much as he possibly could. He managed to be at every doctor's appointment.
On the few nights Fitz spent with Olivia, he would stay up with her on the ones Baby Grant refused to settle down enough for her to go to sleep. Even when he wasn't with her, he would stay up, talking to her on the phone. There was no doubt in Olivia's mind that Fitz would be a great father. She fell more in love with him every time she watched him interact with their unborn child. She loved seeing him so happy. Fitz was glowing more than Olivia was and she was the pregnant one.
Now three months later, a very pregnant Olivia was standing in the doorway of her and Fitz' bedroom watching as her boyfriend of two years yet again packed for another one of his business trips. Her arms were folded across her chest with her bottom lip poked out in a childish pout. When Fitz finished packing his bags, he looked over at Olivia staring at him with a sad face. He walked over to her and cupped the sides of her face, leaning down to kiss her forehead before resting his forehead against hers.
"I don't want you to go." Olivia said with a sniffle, while wrapping her arms around his torso.
Her hormones had been making it hard for her to let Fitz leave without breaking down.
Fitz wrapped his arms around her shoulders, engulfing her in a big, warm bear hug.
"I know Livvie, I don't want to go either."
"Do you have to?" Olivia pulled back her head to look at him.
Fitz gave her an apologetic look, "I'm sorry babe but you know I do. It's my job. I'll only be in California for two days then I'm coming back here for the baby shower then I have to go back to California to settle a few things and then I'll be back here with you so we can meet our little one. We already talked about this, remember?"
"Yeah but I hate it when you leave, even it's only for a day." Olivia didn't care that she sounded extremely needy. She got a pass because she was very pregnant and hormonal.
"I hate it when I leave too Livvie but when the baby comes, I'll be here all the time. No work, no traveling, no nothing. My only focus will be on you and our baby. You two are my everything" Fitz reassured her.
He rubbed his hands down her arms and rested them on her large baby bump.
"You promise?" Olivia asked in childlike voice with the same pout on her face.
Fitz couldn't help but smile at adorable she looked when she pouted. He leaned down and gently pecked her lips.
"I promise."
Fitz' plane landed in California hours later. He immediately headed over to his parents' home, instead of dropping his bags off at his place first.
"Mom! Dad!" He called out when he entered the very large home.
"We're in here darling!" He heard his mother call back.
Fitz walked in the direction in which her voice came from and found his parents in the dining room, having lunch. Big Jerry was sitting at the head of the table eating a hamburger, while Julia sat in the chair beside him eating a salad. Both were drinking water to wash their food down with.
"Hi mom. Dad." Fitz greeted them.
He walked over to where they were seated, giving his mother a hug and kiss on the cheek and gave Jerry a hug before sitting down in the empty chair on the other side of his father, across from his mother.
"Hey Fitz honey, are you hungry?" Julia asked as soon as he sat down. "I'm sure Marta won't mind making you something. Marta!"
"Yes Mrs. Grant?" Marta asked, entering the dining room.
"Can you please make Fitz something to eat? What would you like sweetheart?"
"No mom, I'm fine. I already ate not too long." Fitz said, patting his stomach for emphasis. "Also, I don't want to be a bother to Marta."
"Are you sure? It's no problem for me at all." Marta said kindly.
"I'm positive." Fitz replied.
"Would you like a beverage at least?"
"Uh sure, I'll have a scotch. Thanks Marta." He answered politely.
Marta gave him a quick friendly smile before going to get his drink. In all honesty, she loved working for the Grant family. They weren't the typical stuck up rich family. They were really kind and down to earth people. Marta had been working for the Grants since FItz was born. She started off as Fitz' nanny and then Jenni's when she was born. Once the Grant kids became too old to have a nanny, she became the housekeeper for the family, which was no problem for her. She received great pay and benefits, she was allowed a paid week off for the holidays to spend time with her family, and all around enjoyed her job.
"Fitz, you look tired." Julia observed.
Fitz looked as if he hadn't gotten an ounce of sleep last night, which was semi accurate. He was only able to get about two hours of sleep after spending majority of the night making slow passionate love to Olivia since their baby decided to practice its soccer skills.
"Yeah, Baby Grant kept Olivia up for most of the night and I stayed up with her." Fitz replied as Marta handed him his drink. He thanked her before she left the dining room again.
"Oh how is Liv and our unborn grandchild that you refuse to tell us the sex of?" Big Jerry asked excitedly from the mention of Olivia and his first grandchild, causing Fitz to playfully shake his head.
"Liv's good and so is our baby." He said as he took a sip of his drink.
"That's good. When did you get back?"
"Not too long ago. I actually came straight here from the airport."
"How long are you going to be here for?" Big Jerry asked. He finished the rest of his hamburger and wiped his mouth, waiting for his son's response.
"I'll be here for two days then I'm flying back to New York for the baby shower then I'm flying back here to finish some business before flying back to New York in time for Liv's due date." Fitz said. He was already tired just thinking about how much traveling he'll be doing.
"Sounds like you're a busy man." Julia stated.
Fitz nodded in agreement, "That I am."
"What about Mellie?" Jerry asked, somewhat changing the subject.
Fitz furrowed his eyebrows and shrugged, "What about her?" He countered with the same question.
"Where does she fit into your plans?"
"She doesn't. I'll just tell her what I've been telling her." He answered nonchalantly.
"What that you're away on business? Come on Fitz. You're going to be in New York with your girlfriend and newborn baby for god knows how long while your fiance is here. How long is that supposed to work?" Jerry questioned his son.
"I'll tell her that the case I'm on is complicated and that I'll have to stay in New York until everything is settled."
Big Jerry shook his head, "This is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. You need to break things off with one of them." He declared firmly.
Fitz sighed and took another sip of his scotch.
"Don't you think I already know that, I know okay? I can't just... I love both of them too much to let either of them go."
"Tell me this, do you want to have a baby with Olivia?" Jerry asked, leaning forward in his chair.
Fitz answered right away without hesitation, "Of course I do. We're about to have a baby in a few weeks. What kind of question is that?"
"I was just asking. So you want to have a baby with Olivia, then tell me this then, do you want to marry Mellie and spend the rest of your life with her?"
"I proposed didn't I?" He asked defensively.
"You didn't answer my question. Do you want to marry Mellie and spend the rest of your life with her?" Jerry repeated his question, this time slower.
Fitz didn't answer right away. He thought for a moment before he was able to come up with an answer.
"Mellie and I have been together for five years." He stated, again dodging the question.
"It's a yes or no question Fitz. Do you want to marry her." Julia chimed in.
Fitz looked at both of his parents and they could see indecisiveness written all over his face. Fitz opened his mouth to answer the question, but closed it when he couldn't find an answer to give. He honestly was not sure if he was ready to make that commitment, well at least to Mellie anyway.
"I love her." He finally said after some time had passed.
"That still doesn't answer my question." Jerry stated irritably.
"I love her." Fitz strongly reiterated.
"But are you in love with her?" Julia countered.
"Why are you both questioning me?" Fitz asked, getting upset with the whole twenty- one questions.
"Because you can't keep this back and forth thing between these two women going. You are having a baby with one woman while you're engaged to another. How does that sound? You can't keep leading both of them on, telling them how much you love them and how they mean the world to you. Let's say you end up marrying Mellie and somewhere down the road, Olivia decides she tired of just being your girlfriend and the mother of your child. What if she wants more? What if she wants to get married? What are you going to do then?"
"The key word, if." Fitz said, instead of answering his father's question.
"Don't be smart Fitzgerald." Big Jerry growled.
"I don't know what the both of you want me to say. I want to do right by Mellie, Olivia, and my baby. I'm trying to be a good man."
"Well you sure as hell aren't acting like it. You can't have your cake and eat it too, it doesn't work like that. You need to choose which woman you want to be with before they find out about each other and you end up with neither of them."
"They won't find out about each other." Fitz said assuringly. "Besides I don't know which one I want to be with."
"Let me put this situation in perspective for you. You proposed to Mellie to keep her and impregnated Olivia to keep her. In my opinion, you already chose which woman you want to be with." Jerry said with Julia nodding her head in agreement to what he was getting at.
Fitz just looked at his parents with a confused expression on his face. He didn't think he chose the woman he wanted to be with or else they wouldn't be having this conversation.
Jerry rolled his eyes at his son's stupidity.
"It's Olivia. The woman you chose to be with is Olivia." Fitz scrunched his eyebrows at his father's conclusion. "Think about, you were willing to give a part of yourself to her to keep her in your life. I know Mellie is unable to have children naturally but still you wouldn't have gotten her pregnant if she could. If you really wanted to keep Mellie, you would have already married her. Deep down you know Olivia is the woman you really want to be with."
"Also you're a different person when you're with her. I've observed you around both women and you always seem happier around Olivia." Julia revealed.
Fitz thought about what both of his parents said. He allowed his father's words to sink in and realized he trapped Olivia by having her have his baby, which was the reverse of the cliche. Usually it's the young woman who purposely gets pregnant to trap the guy instead of the guy purposely knocking her up to keep her a part of his life. He then focused on his mother's words and had to admit that he did have a better time with Olivia than Mellie. Fitz imagined his life in the future with both women. He could see him and Olivia raising a family and growing old together. For Mellie, he only saw them in the present time. His parents were right, he did already choose Olivia, but denied his feelings because he was afraid of hurting Mellie.
"You guys are right. Olivia is the woman I really want to be with." Fitz admitted for the first time to himself out loud.
"You need to break your engagement off with Mellie then." Julia stated what Fitz already knew.
"I know, I just don't know how to do it without breaking her heart." Fitz sighed heavily, leaning back in his chair.
"Tell her the truth. You love her but you're not in love with her and can't see yourself spending the rest of your life with her." Jerry said, making it sound as if it's the simplest task in the world.
"Okay I will but I'll do it when I return after the baby shower. That way I have a few days to prepare." Fitz agreed.
"That's fair enough."
"Well I better get going. I have so much to do. I'll talk to you two later. You guys are coming to the baby shower right?"
"Of course." Julia answered for both her and her husband. "Bye sweetheart."
"Bye mom. Bye dad." Fitz waved to the both of them as he walked out of the dining room.
"Hey Fitz." Mellie greeted him when he entered their bedroom and collapsed on the bed next to her after a long day. "You look as if you're about to pass out."
"That's because I am." He responded with his eyes closed.
"You should really take some time off of work before you have a heart attack due to so much stress." Mellie suggested.
"I know. I will soon."
"Are you okay?" Mellie asked, setting the book she was reading on the nightstand next to their bed before turning her attention back to Fitz.
Fitz opened his eyes and looked at Mellie looking at him strangely. "Yeah I'm fine, why do you ask?" He asked.
"Just making sure." She said, moving off the bed.
Mellie went in the closet, only to return a few seconds later with a suitcase fully packed.
"What are you doing?" Fitz asked, while sitting up on his elbows.
"Oh I didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?" He tried to hide the nervousness in his voice. He thought she may have somehow found out about Olivia and was leaving him.
"My mom's friend's daughter is having a baby shower and she invited us. Even though we've never met, I'm still welcomed to go so I decided to take off of work for a couple of days to visit my mom and go to the shower. I'll be leaving shortly to go to the airport."
Fitz let out a subtle sigh of relief, "Okay well have fun." He said, falling back on the bed.
"Thanks." She leaned down and kissed his lips. "Bye. I love you and will see you in a few days." Mellie said as she grabbed her suitcase and walked out of their bedroom.
"Why is everyone having baby showers this month." Fitz muttered to himself, but shrugged off the thought and closed his eyes, hoping to succumb to sleep.
Olivia threw her head back in laughter. She was sitting at a table, talking to Abby, Quinn, and Jenni. She was having the time of her life just sitting there, talking with her girls, while nursing a nice cold cup of cranberry juice at her baby shower, which was being held in a ballroom at the Jade Hotel. Even though she was enjoying spending time with her friends, she couldn't help but glance at Fitz from time to time. Olivia really missed him when he was gone.
She smiled as she watched her man talking to the guys about whatever men talked about and drank his beer. She had to admit that he looked mighty fine in his blue polo that complimented his eyes, tan khaki pants, and brown loafers. He too was laughing at something his buddy Diego said, along with the rest of the guys. Olivia didn't realize she had staring for a long time until Fitz caught her and winked when they made eye contact. Olivia blew him a kiss, which didn't go unnoticed by any of her friends.
"Ugh, you two are sickening." Quinn was the first to say with a playful gag.
"No they're nauseating." Abby corrected.
"Sickening, nauseating, they're the same thing. Regardless they are both of them. My problem is Liv, you let my brother get you pregnant. You better hope my niece or nephew resembles you because my brother is an ugly troll." Jenni laughed and so did the other women.
"Jenni! Fitz is not an ugly troll. I think he is very handsome." Olivia said, defending her man.
"You are blind by love to see how ugly really Fitz is." Jenni responded.
"Well you do look a lot like me so if I'm ugly that makes you hideous." Fitz said walking up to their table. He kissed a giggling Olivia before pulling up a chair from another table to sit between her and Quinn. He leaned back in his chair and threw his arm over the back of Olivia's.
"I hate you." Jenni declared to her brother.
Fitz only shrugged his shoulders at her.
"So what else have you ladies been talking about other than how handsome I am." Fitz asked, smirking at his sister who was giving him a dirty look.
"Babe they were making fun of us. They said we're sickening and nauseating." Olivia tattled, mimicking a little girl.
"Is that right?" He asked with raised brows and an amused look on his face.
"Uh huh." Olivia giggled at her friends' expressions. All of them rolled their eyes.
Fitz leaned over to whisper something in Olivia's ear. Instead of whispering though, he said loud enough for all of them to hear, "They're all just haters because they don't have nor can they get a man."
Olivia erupted in laughter, while her friends glared at her and Fitz.
"I hate your brother." Abby told Jenni.
"Believe me so do I." Jenni replied.
"Relax ladies, I was just joking but that's what you get for picking on my girl." Fitz said to them before pulling Olivia into his side and kissed her temple.
Fitz talked to the women for a little while before Julia and Maya, Olivia's mother, handed him a list of more supplies they needed and told him and a few of the other guys to go out and get it.
Fitz left with the guys to go to the store, while everyone else continued what they were doing. Julia left to get something from the hotel room she was staying in for the night at that same hotel.
"Olivia look who's here." Maya said to her daughter as she walked up to her with two women following closely behind her.
"Mrs. Crenshaw it's so good to see you again." Olivia said getting up from her chair with the help of her mother and Abby.
Once she was up she gave the older woman a hug as best as she could with her baby bump.
"You too sweetheart. You look absolutely radiant. Pregnancy definitely looks good on you. When are you due?" Diane asked, pulling back to get a look at Olivia's stomach.
"Thank you so much and I'm due in a few weeks." Olivia responded, while she rubbed her belly.
"That's great. Olivia I would like you to meet my daughter Melanie." Diane said.
"Oh shit." Jenni whispered to herself.
She never met Mellie's mother, so she didn't recognize her, but Mellie she did know. Jenni managed to sneak away from the table without being noticed by Mellie or anyone else. She quickly walked to the bathroom. In there, she tried to call Fitz, but he wasn't answering his phone and after her third attempt, she sent him a text, telling him that Mellie was there.
"It's nice to meet you Olivia and please call me Mellie." Mellie said kindly, holding out her hand.
Olivia smiled at the slightly older woman and gently shook her hand.
"It's nice to meet you too Mellie."
After Olivia and Mellie became acquainted with one another, Olivia introduced her to her friends. She noticed that Jenni's chair was empty and wondered when she left the table. Mellie joined Olivia at her table and they immediately started talking about every topic they could think of.
Fitz and the rest of the guys finally returned with the supplies Maya and his mother asked for.
"The guys are back." Maya pointed out as she watched them enter the room. She excused herself from the table and got up to supervise them.
Jenni finally re entered the ballroom. Her attention immediately went to Olivia and Mellie sharing a laugh over something. Then her attention drifted to her older brother, setting down bags. She went to go make her way over to Fitz, but stopped when Olivia beat her to him, dragging him by the arm in the direction of where her table and unfortunately for him, Mellie was.
"Oh no." Jenni groaned.
"Babe I want you to meet my mom's friend and her daughter." Olivia said to Fitz, while they made their way over to the table "Diane. Mellie. I would like to introduce to my boyfriend and father of my child, Fitz. Babe, this is my mom's friend Diane and her daughter Mellie." She cheerfully announced, wrapping her arms around Fitz' waist.
Fitz froze in place and all of the blood drained from his body as he came face to face with his fiance and her mother, while Olivia had her arms wrapped around him, staring at him lovingly. Mellie couldn't believe the sight in front of her. She hoped that Fitz was playing a joke on her. She knew there was no way Fitz, her Fitz would cheat on her and get another woman pregnant. There was just no way.
Olivia looked between the two questioningly when both of them failed to introduce themselves. She watched as they stood mute, staring at each other. She noticed Fitz felt cold and looked pale as if he just saw a ghost. She wondered if he was feeling okay. Olivia also noted that Mellie was staring at Fitz with an expression that she thought to be a mixture between hurt and anger. After another minute went and still neither one of them said anything, Olivia decided to speak up.
"Do you two know each other?" She asked them awkwardly.
Fitz looked down at Olivia, but didn't respond.
"Actually we do." Mellie said with a tight smile. Fitz gave Mellie a pleading look, silently begging her not to say anything. Mellie ignored his silent request and said, "Olivia, I would like to introduce you to my fiance, the one I was telling you about, Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III."
Oh hell.
Author's Note: Okay I'm stopping here because I want to know what you think first before I continue. Again, this was meant to be a one shot, but if anyone finds it interesting, I'll make it into a short story, five chapters max. Let me know what you think and I hope you enjoyed!
