Author's Note: Hi there. This is my second Scandal Fanfiction. If you are following my other one No Memories, please know I will still be trying to update that as soon as I can. I hit a bit of a writer block which lead me to writing this one instead. XD Hope you enjoy it.
Prologue
Fitz couldn't believe he was seeing her again after all these years. She was as beautiful as he remembered. Same flawless dark brown skin, lush lips and curvy slim figure. He on the other hand had aged from the stress of being governor and from being on the campaign. Even though he had long since married and had a family of his own he never forgot about her now here she was.
"Nice to see you again Governor Grant." Olivia said.
"You as well Ms. Pope." Fitz said.
"Cyrus asked me to come in and work on the campaign with you. I almost said no but then I saw the competition and said why the hell not." Still as brash as ever he saw.
"I'm glad you came here." He said.
"Yeah…now let's get to work." She said as she went to start taking charge. She was still the head strong woman he had loved. If only…he hadn't made that huge mistake so many years ago. She would have been his wife instead of Mellie who he had been growing to despise greatly now. Olivia needed him yet he let her down in the worst way. He didn't know how she could be here to face him after that.
He could always blame it on being young and selfish but the fact of the matter is, it was so bad he lost Olivia forever. He had hoped that her being here was a way of saying she finally had forgiven him.
To Olivia, Fitz looked just like he did the day she left him. She knew he had aged and was no longer the young fresh out of law school lawyer when she first met him but even still he looked the same. Olivia wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for Cyrus who was an old friend of hers. He didn't know about her and Fitz' past which was fine with her. She rather it stayed that way.
Part of her did miss him. Being in his arms after a long day, going to the lake together, just enjoying being in each other's company. That was then though and this was now. He was married to Mellie with a family of his own. Olivia had tried to date after their relationship ended but it was to no use. Every man got compared to him and in the end she was afraid of being hurt again. So she just gave up on the dating scene all together throwing herself into her work. That's what she decided this would be. Just work for her and nothing more. She knew not to play with fire twice in a lifetime…or so she thought she did.
