"I may be young, but I'm ready

To give you all my love

I told my girls you can get it

Don't slow it down, just let it go

So in love

I'll give it all away

Just don't tell nobody tomorrow

So tonight,

I'll do it every way

Speakers knocking til' the morning light

'Cause we like to party!"

Beyoncé ft. Kanye West and Andre 3000 - Party

I DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO SCANDAL

This is my very first fanfic. I don't know what it will turn into. Just kind of letting things, "unfold" as they may. Haha Leave reviews and suggestions. Hope you enjoy.

"Tonight is going to be epic!" Amanda said to Olivia. The two were at their apartment getting dressed for the night.

"Tell me about it? I feel like it's been forever since the gang got together," said Olivia.

"Liv, it has! You left for Ghana a week after the semester ended. Sheesh, you just had to stay both sessions, huh?" Amanda teased light heartedly.

Olivia gave her major side eye, "you know there was a shortage in volunteers this summer. Plus, I don't mind sacrificing an entire summer of nothing but parties to volunteer in underprivileged villages."

Amanda sighed sarcastically, "St. Olivia Pope, always looking out for the greater good. No more talking about Ghana. It's great and all, what you did, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more excited to have my ace, partner in crime, my best friend back with me in good old Bloomington, Indiana!"

"For sure! It's so good to be back. Being away from you, Har, and my Jakey was almost unbearable. Especially Jake." Olivia said with a faraway expression, as if her mind went somewhere else.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course you missed him over your best friends!" Amanda said,

"Oh don't be such a baby. He makes me happy. Jake completes me in ways that a best friend could never. Plus, I'm here with you right now, aren't I?" Olivia said with a pointed look.

Amanda turned to face her friend with a suspicious grin. "Am I missing something? Have you and Jake… you know? Are you, Olivia Carolyn Pope withholding crucial information from?!"

"Oh dear God, Amanda!" Olivia exclaimed shaking her head profusely. "You're even nuttier than when I left in May! Jake and I have not… you know. I just missed him a great deal. The last week of May until August is a long time away from the one you love. It's made me appreciate us and what we have, so much."

"Oh gosh, I definitely don't want to hear all of the mushy love crap!" Amanda stated. "Let's save the catching up for later, deal?"

"Deal!" Olivia laughed as she turned on her iPod. Seconds later Beyoncé's, Party began blaring throughout their apartment's built in speakers. "This song never gets old! It's the perfect pregame song. Puts me in a zone," she said as she walked back into the room with her friend.

"Mhmmm, just perfect," Amanda said with a smirk.

45 minutes later, the two were stepping into a cab on their way to the most anticipated block party of each Fall semester. From past experience, they knew a cab was the smartest option. It was definitely going to be, "one of those nights." Possibly even, to a new level, since the two weren't able to hang out at all over the summer.

Once situated in the cab, Amanda turns to Liv. "So are the guys meeting us?"

Olivia could hear the hint of irritation in her friend's voice. She knew it was coming. "Nothing's changed. I know you aren't too crazy about Jake, nor Harrison, but we do this every year. It's our thing. So no moping, cheer up pal! You always have the best time, anyway." She laughed. "Plus, if they never came, who would keep me company after you find your special friend for the night?"

Amanda gasped and stared at her best friend. Olivia fell into a fit of laughs, "oh, I went there! Don't act surprised. You know it's true!"

Amanda couldn't help but join in on the laughter. "Yeah, so maybe it is. What can I say? I like to meet new friends. I'm friendly!" She shrugged.

"That you are my friend, that you are. No judgments on this side. I love you regardless." She leaned over and gave Amanda a one armed hug. She meant what she said. Despite all of her friend's promiscuous ways, she'd never pass judgment. That was her prerogative. She had a right to do whatever she wanted, with her own body. Although Olivia could never be that way, Amanda never had a dull story to share, she thought. She snapped out of her thoughts when she felt the car come to a stop. They'd arrived.

As the two stepped out, Amanda turned to Liv, "you ready to turn up?!"

"Turn down for what?!" Olivia responded.

They shared a long laugh at the expense of their overly corniness while approaching the party. Looking around Jordan Ave., they saw many fraternity and sorority houses were having some sort of function. That's generally how it went, one gigantic party amongst all the Greek houses along Jordan. Olivia and Amanda had their preference though. They entered Jake's best friend Stephen's frat house.

"Liv!" Stephen spotted them as soon as they walked in. Amanda took one look at him and walked in the other direction. Stephen shrugged it off and proceeded to scooping Olivia up into a massive bear hug. "So good to have you back, for more reasons than one. You can't just up and leave Jake on his lonesome all summer long." He joked.

"Nice to see you as well, Stephen. And Jake's a big boy, he managed." She laughed. "He also had that internship in Santa Barbara the first half, so that kept him pretty busy. Although, we definitely missed one another, speaking of, have you seen him? We only got to see one another for a couple of hours earlier." She said.

"And so it begins! Olake back to their nauseously inseparable ways again." He laughed.

"We are not!" She gasped dramatically, pretending to be offended. "Cut the crap. Where's my boyfriend, jerk?" Olivia asked, poking Stephen in the chest.

Stephen hopped back as if she hurt him, "woah there Liv, you're back in the states now. No need to be so hostile. No wild animals to fight off here!"

"You're such an ass. There weren't any wild animals where I volunteered! Oh my gosh, don't ever utter those words to anyone else." She laughed. Stephen always could make her laugh with his dumb, slightly offensive remarks. "So… Jake?"

He'd been laughing so hard, he almost forgot about his friend. "Right. Loverboy! Let me escort you to the back deck, my lady."

They made their way through the crowded party, onto the deck. Olivia recognized Jake as soon as she approached the sliding door. His back was to her as he talked with some other guy; she saw he was wearing khaki cargo shorts and his IU basketball jersey with no undershirt. His long, toned arms looked great in it. He was tall and fit enough to pass for a player. Olivia couldn't take staring any longer. The need to have physical contact took over her. She made her way over and wrapped her small arms around his waist, placing her head on his back. She instantly felt comfort in the warmth of his body.

Jake smiled at the touch, knowing immediately it was his Liv. But decided he'd mess with her head for fun. "Oh Allison, you'd better stop that. Liv will be here soon and we don't want her kicking both of our asses, do we?" He winked at his friend. He could tell by loosening of her grip, he was in for an earful.

"Who the fuck is Allison, Jake?!" She jumped back with major attitude. "Is he fucking serious right now?" She thought to herself.

"Oh, babe!" Jake said turning around. "I…I didn't know that was you." He pretended to stumble over his words.

"Jake, how could you?" Olivia asked. Now feeling more hurt than angry, she attempts to turn back and storm off.

This wasn't how Jake saw the joke going in his head. He quickly grabbed her arm, pulling her back into his chest. "Babe, I'm so sorry. It was a joke. A really dumb one, I now realize. Honestly. There is no Allison. I just said the first name to come to mind. Tyler can vouch to that." He turned and looked at his friend.

"It was a completely dumb joke, from your dumbass of a boyfriend, Olivia. He even gave me a lame ass wink as soon as you placed your arms around his waist. I don't even know what you see in the guy." Tyler laughed, trying to his best to come off sincere.

Jake felt Olivia's chest rise and fall as she took a deep breath and sighed, heavily. She was beginning to soften, he could tell in her posture.

"You jackass! You're not funny, whatsoever. How many times do I have to remind you to give up the comedian crap? You. Are. Not. Funny. And as mad as I want to be right now, I'd only be punishing myself." She turned around in his arms, looking up at him. "It's been three and a half very long months and all I want to do is spend as much time with you as possible before classes begin, Monday." She said, blinking her bright doe eyes at him. "But you keep being a prankster, and I'll sacrifice my own needs to teach you a lesson, buddy!" Olivia said with the sternest voice she could muster up, while staring into his gorgeous gray eyes. She knew she was fighting a losing battle. Before she knew it, she rose up on her tip toes and pulled his face to meet hers. While gazing into one another's eyes they shared a long overdue kiss. Nothing rough or rushed, just a slow and sweet kiss that said everything words couldn't do justice, "I missed you."

After a minute or so, the two broke apart. Jake couldn't help but stare down at the beyond gorgeous being he was lucky enough to call his girlfriend. He took in all of her. There she stood, hair bone straight with that little flip thing she did to her bangs, her makeup flawless, sleeveless burnt orange sundress that highlighted all the right curves and revealed just enough but not too much cleavage. Just the right amount for him to enjoy without him having to worry about fighting off other guys with drifting eyes. The dress stopped and flowed out just above the knee, and she finished off her ensemble with gold wedge sandals to match the few accessories she had on. It was all truly a sight to see. Paired with her tan from the Ghana sun, the oranges and gold made Olivia appear to be glowing. Jake wanted Liv, right then and there and from the glazed over look she was giving him, he could've sworn she felt the same. But he knew that wasn't in the cards. Jake knew better. He shook his head, to try and help clear his mind.

"Babe, I'm really sorry about my lame joke. I know it was an epic failure." He gave her a light peck on the lips. "How about we go get you a drink? I know I could use another one." He said as he titled his head and rubbed the back of his neck, smiling nervously.

"Yes, I can definitely go for a drink!" She laughed. "Plus, I have to get caught up with you! Lead the way Loverboy." She joked as she looped her fingers through his and they made their way back into the house.

Olivia and Jake consumed way more drinks than they intended. But free alcohol for any college student was almost impossible to pass up. Harrison eventually joined them and Amanda as well, despite her jealousy towards him and Jake. Everyone seemed to be having the time of their lives. They played a few rounds of beer pong and flip a cup before heading to the dance floor.

"We totally kicked you guys' ass in beer pong!" Olivia boasted to Harrison and Jake as she and Amanda slapped high fives.

"Sure did!" Amanda co-signed.

"Like hell you did! We could have crushed you both, you know if we didn't LET you win." Harrison said in the guys' defense.

"Yeah, what he said," was Jake's only response.

"Yeah, what he said," Olivia mocked with a snicker.

The girls laughed at the complete bullshit the guys were trying to pass off as fact.

Everyone stopped off at kitchen to top off their drinks once more before hitting the dance floor. Once on the dance the group separated, except Olivia and Jake, of course. The two danced for what seemed like hours, only stopping to occasionally fill their red Solo cups up with even more alcohol. It had been forever since they were able to enjoy one another's company like this. Olivia could definitely feel the liquor taking over her senses. She made a mental note to not drink anymore after this last cup.

Jake turned Olivia to face him, as they danced. "You having a good time, baby?"

"I'm having a great time," she responded as she rested her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was slowly swaying to the music as she pressed more and more into him. It was as if no matter how close they were, she couldn't get close enough to Jake.

This completely caught Jake off guard. This wasn't the Liv he was used to. She usually kept her space between the two, so she couldn't be as tempted to do something she may regret. "Babe, what's going on there?" Jake laughed, as Olivia began to grind her front into his.

"What?" She looked up with innocent eyes and the sweetest voice. "I'm just trying to dance with irresistible, sexy boyfriend."

Jake smirked at the visibly inebriated Olivia. "Oh, is that right?"

Olivia smiled, and looked Jake in the eyes with the most seductive glare he'd ever seen since meeting her. "Yes, indeed. I…"

"You a bad girl and your friends bad too. Ooh. You got the swag-sauce, you're dripping swagoo," began blasting through the speakers.

Jake didn't know what happened in that moment, all he knew was that Olivia's petite frame somehow managed to back him into the wall of a dark, secluded corner. He'd never seen her dance so freely, nor this provocative. Olivia's back was to him as she grinded up and down against his center. She gripped the sides of his shorts for added support. He was completely taken aback. The tighter her grip, the harder she pressed into him. She moved perfectly in sync with the beat. Her movements were slowly raising the back of her dress exposing her ass cheeks to Jake. Once he was beyond the initial shock of it all, Jake allowed himself to actually enjoy what was happening. He felt his shorts began to tighten in the front and seized the opportunity to let his hands roam.

"Damn baby," Jake groaned.

"You like that?" Olivia asked with an almost raspy voice filled with seduction, still working her hips in a circular motion.

He made sure they were out of view of anyone before he placed his hands beneath Olivia's dress landing on her hips at first. He helped guide her movements into his manhood before slowly caressing his palms down to her ass, she continued her motions. The intoxication was controlling both of their movements and better judgment. Jake's hands continued roaming her body, until his right rested on the right side of Olivia's hip, his left hand drifted further down her thigh until it landed on her bundle of nerves. He waited to see if there was any hesitation, but to his surprise Olivia leaned up still grinding into him as she reached her behind her with her right arm, placed it around the back of his neck, then rested her left hand over his. She looked over her left shoulder into Jake's eyes and gave him a slight nod, with that same seductive look from earlier.

Jake could not believe this was happening. It had to be the alcohol. He was must be drunker than he thought. Or this definitely wasn't real. His Olivia? The virgin? Nah. "Well, if this is some drunken slumber, I'm going to enjoy it," he thought to himself. Jake's right hand moved back up her body, resting on her left breast. He slipped it through the low cut opening, grazing his thumb across her now sensitive nipple.

"Jake," Olivia moaned. "Move your other hand."

At that moment, Olivia's fingers gripped his and began to massage through the soft material of her thong. It was pure ecstasy for the both of them. Olivia allowed small moans to escape her lips as she continued grinding her ass into Jake's hard member. He couldn't take anymore; he needed to feel contact past the thong underwear she was wearing. Jake went to move his finger beneath the material, as he heard the song ending.

"Liv! Liv, are you in here?!" Olivia jumped at the sound of Amanda's voice, which was getting closer and closer.

"You've got to be kidding me," Jake groaned.

Olivia straightened up, and quickly fixing her clothes, grabbed Jake's hands and wrapped them around her waist just as Amanda rounded the corner. "Liv, there you are," she said with a small hesitation. Noticing her friend's irregular breathing and chest rising and falling. "Am I interrupting something?" Amanda asked, looking at the couple cuddled up in the closed off corner.

Jake was first to answer, "Yes!" He didn't try to mask his irritation. He'd always had low tolerance for Amanda, and her present timing made it ten times worse.

"Jake," Olivia hissed, rubbing his hand to try and help calm his nerves. She never understood why Amanda got under his skin so quickly. She gave her friend an apologetic smile, "sorry Mandi, we were just getting away from all the noise. You know, to catch up. We missed one another so much. Did you need something?"

Amanda gave her a knowing look but decided against addressing it at this time. "Oh. Just wanted to let you know I'm leaving with Rick. I've been calling you, but you didn't answer. I was two seconds away from sending a search and rescue team," she joked.

Olivia giggled nervously, "Well, thank God you didn't do that. Sorry, forgot my phone is in Jake's shorts pocket. So, I'll see you at home?"

"I'll catch you in the morning Liv," she replied with a wink. She headed back towards the door she entered through and stopped. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do… or do," she said with a devious smirk as she exited the room.

Olivia leaned back into Jake's chest and brought the palm of her hand to meet her face. She was mortified at the thought of someone, her best friend walking in on them in such a predicament. Jake obviously didn't share the same sentiments as his hands began to roam once more and his lips dropped to Olivia's neck.

She pulled out of his grasp, "Jake what are you doing?" She couldn't believe he wasn't the slightest fazed by what just happened.

"Liv, I'm trying to finish what we just started. Come here," he said deepening his voice and giving her his best puppy dog eyes.

"We can't. Jake, we almost got caught just now," She pleaded. "I don't think it's a good idea. Plus, adding the amount of alcohol we've both consumed tonight, we just allowed ourselves to get carried away. Mandi walking in must've been a sign or something."

"Yea, a sign that your whore best friend is a complete cock block," he grumbled.

"Wow Jake. You always know just the right thing to say. Give me my phone. I'm calling a cab to take me home." Olivia couldn't believe the way he was behaving. The entire situation was quickly sobering her up.

"What? Are we not going to talk about what happened tonight, Liv?" He was in complete shock.

Olivia held out her hand. "Phone Jake, now!"

"Liv, don't do this. Let's go back to my place to discuss this and finish what we started." He wasn't above begging, when it pertained to the possibility of them having sex for the first time.

"There's nothing to discuss. There's nothing to finish. What happened was due to our careless drinking. It was a mistake." The words left her mouth before she could stop them. She knew instantly how it sounded. She immediately felt regret.

Jake's face held no expression, just a blank stare and sad eyes. He pulled her phone from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Jake, I…," she started. She wanted to take it back, although Olivia knew it was impossible. She still had to try.

"Forget about it, Liv. I'll talk to you later," he said. He refused to make eye contact and began walking towards the exit.

"Jake," her voice barely above a whisper as it cracked. What had she done? She wondered as tears began to stream down her cheeks.

What did you think? Have any suggestions? Throw me some ideas.

I have a pretty good understanding of where I'd like to take this story.

But, I'm not Shonda. I may use your idea if it fits the story line. Haha

Thanx for reading.
