Chapter 7

Olivia Pope walked into her home and immediately took off her stiletto shoes. She did not get any work done today. Her mind kept wondering back to Fitz and their daughter. Needing to loosen up some, she called Jake.

Ring. Ring.

"So, when do you want me to pick you up?" Jake responded right after receiving the call.

Smiling, she commented. "You are assuming that I called to ask you out."

"I know you did," he said continuing on with all the confidence in the world. "However, I am not the kind of guy who lets the woman do the driving on just the second date. So, is half an hour, okay?"

'You like to drive a woman on the second date?"

"I like to pamper a woman when I take them out. I can promise you that if you go on a date with me, at the end of it, I will leave you on your doorstep feeling lightheaded. If you come on a date with me, you will experience how a woman is meant to be treated by a real man."

Olivia let out a tiny giggle. "You give this big speech and all you have going for yourself right now is a hypothetical situation. That's sad."

"Let me rectify that. Come on a second date with me."

"Okay."

Chapter 8

Olivia was shocked to find Fitz on her couch in the dark when she got home late at night.

"Where were you?" he spoke harshly.

"Out." She responded setting her bag down on the glassy table and walking to the kitchen.

Fitz got up from his seat, and commented. "Yea. Well, me and Your daughter were here waiting for you."

"I was out"

"Good to know your priorities are in the right place." He said sarcastically.

"Don't you dare talk to me like I am a terrible mother! I am the one who has been there throughout the morning feedings. I have been right there when she was teething and could not sleep. You have not. You have been in your oval so don't you dare come inside my house and badger me on how I raise my kid! Now, what do you want to have for dinner?"
