She saw him get out of his car and the joyful rush through her body made her giddy. She smiled at him while he gave her their signature greeting : "Hi." Her heart hammered away when she thought of her words to Mellie : " Whatever i want." Whatever she wanted was this man. This man who she had loved for so long now : since the moment she first laid eyes on him , roughly ten years ago.
"Hi." , she said to him and was rewarded by his soft smile . The special smile that he only reserved for her. He had his hands in his pockets and looked a little shy suddenly : " So you are out of work huh...looking for a new job?"
She lifted her gaze : "Are you hiring? "
He took a step closer to her, his intense blue eyes challenging her brown once :
" You, always." She shook her head : " I don't think that's a good idea."
He took a step back and she saw hurt cross his features so she stepped closer to him, her hand grabbing his and she rushed out : " Only because i don't think i should work for my boyfriend. "
He felt her hand and the words boyfriend made him smile brilliantly. He felt like a teenager who just had his first kiss from the girl he had a crush on. "Boyfriend you say?"
He saw her nod her head and he saw her shyness. It was so rare to see her shy although she was opening up more often to him nowadays and he loved discovering new things about her, seeing the old Liv come back to him : but somehow improved ; a more mature version. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned into her, finding her lips with his own.
He finally murmered to her between kissing her again : " I thought you'd never ask, Livvie."
She laughed out loud and playfully slapped his chest. Only to get distracted by his fine muscles under his black coat. Her hands trailed down his chest and soon rested on his middle before she nudged her head against his chest and demanding : " Take me home, Fitz." He immediately grabbed her hand, somehow opened the door to the car and helped her inside. He followed her into the back of the car and he nodded to his driver and secret service agent : " To miss Pope's please, Sam." The second the words left his mouth he promptly forgot everything else around him, but the beautiful woman who snuggled up next to him and who was playing with his fingers entangled in hers.
"Livvie", he started and she looked at him kindly ; questioningly when he was quiet for a few seconds too long.
He found his voice : " I love you...I'm sorry i left for Vermont without you before. I was wrong."
She kept his gaze : " You thought you where giving me what i wanted ...but all i wanted was you...it's all i have ever wanted, Fitz. We just...really, where we came from when we met...all the years after...i know why you did it. ... But i love you too. And to me nothing means more to me than you, than us."
He smiled at that : " So we are in this together." She nodded her head confirming : " We are in this together."
