A/N: Hey, guys this story have been swirling in my head for days now and I hope you like it.
" Hey, babe." Olivia ran into the room and kissed Fitz. She had just returned with a weekend visit with her grandparents and now back at Stanford. Olivia had missed Fitz so much. They have been together for a year now. Fitz is a junior and Olivia is a sophomore. Olivia was in the pre-med program and Fitz is the school's star soccer player.
" Hey….." Fitz replied warily, and barely kissing Olivia back. Then Olivia looked around his dorm room and it was all packed up.
" Babe, what's going on? Why is your room all packed up? Are you switching room?" Olivia blurted out questions.
" Livvie, I let's have a seat on my bed….." Fitz sighed. This weekend was the best and worst weekend of his life.
" What's the matter Fitz you're scaring me." Olivia was now really scared. She knew from the look of his face it was not good news.
" Olivia, on Friday I got a call from Real Madrid, they want to sign me…" Fitz exhaled.
" THAT'S AMAZING BABY! Where is it?" Olivia was excited for her man.
" In Spain! They were impressed with my performance at the world cup and wanted to sign me on a trail contract…."
" When will you be back?"
" That's the thing I won't…."
At that moment everything thing was numb to Olivia. There was the love of her life telling her that he won't be back.
" What do you mean Fitz...?" Olivia said as tears were ready to spill out of her eyes.
" Olivia, this is only college. No one said this was serious! You knew eventually we were going to break up. I'm a soccer player and always will be. You want to be a doctor, and I know for a fact you won't follow me to Spain.
I need to go after my dream, and I won't let anyone stop me from chasing them. Look it's been nice what we had, but this is a once in a lifetime off. I need you to understand that. You will make someone very happy and it's not me. I'm a lone wolf, and alway will be." Fitz had to say that to Olivia because if he didn't he wouldn't have been able to leave her.
Olivia nodded. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Fitz basically told her that she wasn't good enough for him, and that she's not worth his time. He didn't even love her.
" I'm a bad boyfriend Olivia. I cheated on yesterday with Amanda and I'm really sorry, I was drunk and…" Before Fitz could finish what he was saying Olivia flew out of the room. She's never been that embarrassed in her life.
13 years later.
Olivia ran to her office, she was late and Olivia is never late. Olivia had graduated #1 from her med school and is now head doctor for the LA Galaxy. She worked in a hospital for a year, and during the year she had saved the owner's life when he was rushed to the hospital, so he offered her a job that paid extremely well. Today they were getting a new player to sign to the team and it was so secretive, Olivia didn't know who he was.
Olivia ran into the examining room, and once she entered the room all of the air in her lungs left her. There was the person that shattered her heart 13 years ago. They stared at each other for a long minute before the owner interrupted them.
" Liv, I'm glad you're here. This is our new player Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III." Bruce the owner smiled.
" Yes…...sorry I'm late Bruce…."
" Liv, for the 2 years you've worked for me you've never been late, it's okay." Bruce smiled.
" Shall we get to work?" The coach said in excitement.
" Right." Olivia gave him a tight smile and cleared her throat. Great the man that shattered her heart was apart of the team she loved working for now. How nice was that? It was only morning and Olivia was done with the day.
Olivia went over to Fitz.
" Mr. Gant please sit on the examination chair." Olivia said coldly. There was all the medical personal and head office people. This was an important signing. Though Fitz is 34 going on 35 this was like landing on a gold mine. Olivia followed his career and it was an impressive one. Fitz was the winner of 10 " Ballon d'Or", two time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA world cup for Team USA.
Fitz was a national hero. All his career he played for Real Madrid and they won 11 straight home league and Premier league titles since he joined the team. With him, Cristiano Ronaldo, di Maria, Iker Casillas, and Gareth Bale , that team was unstoppable. Fitz knew he had only a good 2 years left at Real Madrid before they would trade or sell him, so he decided to finish his career in MLS.
Fitz was the highest paid soccer player and athlete, and instead of resigning he decided to leave the club. When the news breaks everyone in the soccer world is going to flip out.
" Take deep breaths for me." Olivia commanded as she she examined Fitz's breathing. For a good half hour Olivia did the physical on Fitz. He was proud of Olivia, she had become a successful doctor. He kept tabs on her till it got too painful and he was losing focus so he stopped.
Then the team tested Fitz on his physicality. They made him run with an oxygen mask on, lift weights, long jumps, and many other things. Olivia couldn't help but marvel at him. Fitz definitely got more muscular. He had 8 packs, a very well toned chest, veins popping out of his biceps. She also loved his sleeved tattoos. Fitz had his lower right arm covered with tattoos and his whole left arm covered. Also on his chest and back were tattooed quotes. Then she remembered how he had hurt her, but Olivia didn't care anymore.
She had forgiven Fitz along time ago and now if focused on her life. When he broke her she was a mess, but now Olivia just was over everything. Fitz on the other hand marveled at how beautiful Olivia looked. She was beautiful when they dated, but now she's just…..perfect. He was a man full of regret and not a day goes by that he didn't think about her. Fitz looked at Olivia's right hand and was kinda surprised and happy that she didn't have a ring on it.
Once all of the examination was done, they took him away from Olivia for paperwork. Never in a million years he'd imagine Olivia would be the head physician at LA Galaxy. By the end of the day it was announced that Fitz had officially signed with LA Galaxy. To say the soccer world was shocked was an understatement. The next day Fitz joined the team in training. The workouts for LA was nothing compared to Real's.
This was good for Fitz. In soccer world he's like a dinosaur now. The workouts for Real literally killed his body. All throughout practice all Fitz could think was Olivia. She is perfect in every way and seemed to be loved by everyone in this organization. Fitz noticed that the team physical therapist Peter is all over her and he didn't like it. He was engaged and jealous. Fitz was happy when Peter left Olivia to go somewhere else.
Thirty minutes later there was a little girl running towards Olivia screaming " MOMMY, MOMMY. MOMMY!" From what Fitz observed the girl couldn't have been older than 11. Peter went over and kissed Olivia and the little girl jumped on his back. Then he and Olivia's daughter headed towards Fitz.
" Hey, Fitz, there someone here is very excited to meet you. Harp get down and greet the man. This is your idol." Peter nudged her.
" Hi, my name is Harper. You are my favorite soccer player and when I grow up I want to be just like you." Harper smiled and shook Fitz's hand.
" Hi, Harper. I'm honored that you are my fan! Do you play soccer?" Fitz studied Harper. She was basically a mini Olivia, but with blue eyes.
" Yes, I play! I just got back from a soccer camp!" Harper smiled proudly.
" Wow, that's amazing Harper. What position do you play?"
" I'm a forward just like you!" Harper beamed with pride. " I gotta go Mr. Grant, but it was so cool to meet you. Come on old man geedee up!" Harper got ready to hop on Peter's back and go to where ever they were going. So many questions went through Fitz's head.
" How old is Harper? Was Peter her dad? Why did she have blue eyes" Wait Peter had blue eyes too. Damn!" Fitz watched as Peter chased Harper and the two were having the time of their lives.
He went over to Olivia who was writing some notes on her iPad.
" Harper's a great girl….." Fitz awkwardly said to Olivia.
" Thanks, Fitz." Olivia smiled.
" Look, I'm so sor…"
" Hey, no it's okay. Things turned out great for the both of us. You became a legend and I became a doctor." Olivia stated honestly.
" I guess…." All Fitz wanted to do from the moment he saw Olivia was pull her into his arms. He did what he had to do for the both of them, and now he was full of regret. That could have been him. Married to Olivia and have a family with her. Fitz was a man that had everything, but at the same time nothing at all. He was alone and everyone just wanted him because he was Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III. The soccer legend. God, he was envious of Peter.
