"Hi." She breathed as she waited for him to invite her in but he just stood there. "Can I come in?"
"Yes, I'm sorry..I am just surprised to see you." He said as he moved to the side allowing her to walk in. He followed behind her mesmerized by her beauty. She could wear anything or nothing and she would still look spectacular. Tonight she chose to wear sweats that outlined her body perfectly. She walked slowly to the couch and set her phone on his table.
"What happened to your phone?" He asked picking it up and looking over the broken glass.
"I don't know." She said lied, not wanting to go into detail about her tantrum she threw before coming over.
"Livvie."
"Fitz, who cares about the damn phone." She snapped now remembering the purpose of her visit. "Why are you avoiding me?"
He sat down across from her and gave her a look, "You know why."
She shifted in her seat uncomfortably and said, "I don't know why. Please enlighten me." She pressed on, she didn't want to guess, to play this game.
"Did you wait for me?" He asked after a long pause.
Now she was confused, she shook her head and asked, "What?"
"You heard me Olivia. Did you find someone else out here while I was gone?" He repeated so calmly that he surprised himself. Especially when on the inside he was fuming at the thought.
"Why would you even ask me something like that?" Was that really what he thought? She had never wanted to cry more than she did in that moment. Never did she want him to think she was capable of such a act of betrayal.
He cringed at the amount of hurt in her voice and he knew that he had gotten it wrong. He moved to sit beside her on the couch and grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry, I just thought..The way you've been acting..The way you acted over the summer..something changed."
She took a deep breath, "My love and loyalty to you has never changed..it will never change."
He couldn't take the space that was between them anymore. He moved her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her holding her close to his body.
"What was it then? What pulled you away from me towards the end? Do you know how much it killed me when you would ignore my calls?" He lifted her face to his so that she could look into his eyes.
"I was hurting too Fitz and it became too much for me so I tried to push you out of my thoughts, I couldn't sleep and I was barely functioning. Then.." She broke off and looked away not sure how to say the next part without sounding like an awful girlfriend.
"Then what? Talk to me Livvie, I want to clear the air. I've missed you so much but I can't pretend like things aren't different." He knew there was something and he wouldn't push too aggressively but she was there and he was just giving her the extra nudge that she needed.
"Then I met someone..a friend and they helped me forget about you, to numb the pain temporarily." She had wanted to tell him during the summer but she didn't want to worry him while he was so far away or at least that is what she told herself.
"That's when you stopped calling as much? Stopped answering some of my Skype calls?" He asked and she nodded in agreement. "Do you like him?" He asked nervously afraid of what she may say.
"What makes you think that it is a 'he'?" She asked with a arched eyebrow.
"Liv.." He warned, not in the mood to go back and forth with her.
"I do like him but not like you think." She felt him tense and she moved her hand to his cheek. "I guess I felt guilty about enjoying my life without you but that's it. We debated, we studied, we had fun but we never got too personal.." There was so much more that she wanted to say but she stopped there.
They sat there in silence and she was starting to get nervous. She opened her mouth to speak but she didn't know what else to say so she waited until he was ready.
"I love you." He blurted out of nowhere. He needed her to know that it didn't matter, nothing mattered more that those three words.
"Still?" She asked hesitantly, she hated sounding needy but she wanted reassurance.
"Always." He picked her up and led them to his bedroom. He set her down on the edge of the bed and kneeled in front of her taking off her shoes. It was late and he just wanted to go to sleep with her in his arms. "Do still you love me?" He asked when she was situated in his arms with her head on his chest.
"I never stopped." She turned her head and kissed his even more defined chest. Everything about him seemed to have gotten better over the summer. She continued to kiss up his body and she could feel his heart beating fast against his chest. He seemed as nervous as she felt. She kissed up to his neck to his jaw but he didn't move, he just laid there.
"Touch me Fitz." She whispered hoarsely into his ear. "I missed you. I missed the way you feel..I need to feel you."
He felt himself growing hard inside of his sweats. He was tired but her soft lips all over his body, her voice saying those three words that he had been longing to hear since he returned made it impossible to deny her. He moved his hands up the back of her thighs, he gripped her ass fiercely as he flipped them over. The burn for her deep in the pit of his stomach wouldn't allow him to take things slow.
He undressed them both in lightening speed and he swore that he hears her laugh a bit at him as he yanked her sweats and panties off in one swoop. He kissed the inside of her ankle up towards her sensitive heat. He kissed her lips down below sloppily moaning deeply when he tasted her sweetness. Her hands flew to his hair and he yearned to be inside of her.
Three months had been too long. The thought of her giving some random guy her attention while he was away drove him crazy. He lifted his head and smirked at her confused expression. He lined himself up with her unable to wait any longer to become one with her. He moved inside of her slowly pausing every few seconds to calm himself down. She stared up at him and he felt butterflies in his stomach as her mouth formed a O once he was fully sheathed deep within her heat.
They kissed for the first time in one hundred and ten days. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his body further into hers as she met him thrust for thrust. He was back, he was hers and it was everything that she had ever dreamed of. They moved in sync with each other and didn't miss a beat.
Fitz broke their kiss and started to kiss her neck. She bit his ear lobe and he growled, "Say it again Livvie."
"Hmm? Say what baby?" She panted, her legs threatening to squeezed the life out of him as she clutched his waist.
"Tell me you missed me..I need to hear you say it..I never want you to stop saying it.."
"I missed you." She whispered against his ear then kissed his neck and whispered again, "I missed you Every. Single. Day. I love you." She kissed every that she could reach repeating those words over and over to him until she was satisfied that he felt it.
He felt it, he felt her love and he for the first time since he had been back he allowed himself to believe it. He moved his mouth to hers and got lost in her taste, he felt her coming and he allowed himself to go over the edge with her. He spilled himself inside of her and collapsed on top of her.
"Fitz." She giggled.
"What Livvie? Why are you laughing?" He asked as he laughed with her. "God, I missed your laugh."
She blushed and bit her lip. "Fitz babe, I hate to ruin the moment but I kind of need to pee."
He didn't know why he found that so funny but he rolled onto the bed and continued to laugh.
"Fitz why are you still laughing?" She stood next to the bed with her hands on her hips looking down at him.
"I don't know. I'm being silly because I'm happy, being with you makes me this way. Come here." He sat up and pulled her to stand in-between his legs. "I never want to be away from you for that long ever again. I'm sorry about ignoring you and not talking to you sooner, I hated that."
She kissed the top of his head before lifting it to look up at her. "I'm sorry too. Can we put it behind us now and promise to talk to each other like we did before?"
He smiled, "I would love nothing more."
"Great, now cuddle me until we fall asleep." She pulled him into bed and snuggled in his arms as they drifted off.
The next morning Fitz woke up early. He wanted to make breakfast for the love of his life and have time to enjoy it before she had to to drive 30 mins back to school. He cut up fruit for the both of them and made her favorite omelet.
He placed feather like kisses on her jaw until she stirred awake. She groaned and placed the blanket over her head. She was so adorable and now the permanent smile that had taken over his face last night was back.
"Livvie you need to wake up."
"No." He heard her pout from underneath the covers made him laugh.
"I made your favorite for breakfast and maybe some fresh fruit too." He teased as he slowly pulled the blanket down off of her.
"Fine." She reluctantly got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up pulling on one of his shirts before meeting him in the kitchen.
She walked over to where he was sitting at the bar and kissed the back of his neck hugging him from behind. "It smells amazing in here."
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of her soft hands on his torso. "Come on eat." He said pulling her from behind him and sitting her on the stool next to him.
She took a bite of her omelet and moaned loudly. "This is more amazing than the last time."
"I'm glad you like it." He smiled not looking up from his iPad.
"What are you doing over there?"
"The guys talked me into getting a Twitter and Instagram when I got back. I'm looking at some of the comments that the picture of your breakfast got. I can't believe it already has one thousand likes. I just posted it."
"Let me see." She lazily reached for it waiting for him to place it into her hand. She clicked through and saw some of the females comments and most of them were down right trashy. She scoffed and handed it back to him.
"What?" He asked smiling.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't get one of those trashy skanks beat up."
"Hey look who is talking. Don't think I won't be making my way to Harvard this weekend to see who this "friend" from summer is. What is his name anyway?"
"His name is Ashley." She stated simply and He erupted in a fit of laughter before stealing a piece of her fruit and leaving the room.
She quickly finished the rest of her food and ran in the room after him. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing," He smirked. "What kind of name is Ashley for a guy? Is he..you know?"
She slapped him on the arm before saying, "You think I asked him that? I don't care what he is honestly. He is just a friend and I can't wait for you two to meet."
She pulled on her sweat bottoms and pulled her hair into a curly ponytail, slipped on her Uggs and searched for her phone. When she found it she looked over her messages as she waited for him to finish putting on his shoes.
"Let's go Grant, I need to get back to change and get ready for class!" She yelled from the living room. She turned around and saw him staring at her. She bit her lip and backed up until her back was against the front door.
"Have I told you how much I love your hair curly?" He asked as he moved into her space hovering over her lips until she was practically begging him to kiss her. He moved his mouth to her neck instead sucking hard enough to leave a mark.
Her eyes rolled to the back of her head from his assault on her neck. She moaned loudly and her legs threatened to give put and he moved his hands to cupp her ass pulling her further into his body. "Babe.." She choked out putting a hand on his chest before they got too carried away. He stopped and looked down at her smirking and she pushed him hard away from her causing him to stumble back a bit.
"Don't act like you didn't like it." He said licking his lips.
"Whatever. You've marked your territory, now walk me to my car."
"Only if you promise to do something for me."
"What do you need Fitzy? Make it quick because I really need to be going." She glanced at her watch realizing she was running out of time.
"Geeze, ok, ok. I want you to follow me on Twitter and Instagram so I can tag you in my posts?" He placed both his hands together to plead as he said, "Please Livvie."
"I'll have to think about that." She said as she turned and walked out his apartment.
"Ok. That's all I'm asking." He closed her door and leaned down into her window. "I love you Livvie."
"I love you too Fitz, see you in two days." She kissed his lips softly and make her way back to campus.
