I loved writing this chapter! I hope you guys like it :)
1 o'clock came around fast. Abby went home about an hour ago because we finished most of my office. I told her I would do the rest. I left my office and headed for the oval. I asked Lauren if he was in there and she said yes and that I could go in. I knocked on the door before going in. When he said come in I opened the door. He was looking at papers on his desk but looked up to see who it was. When he saw me he smiled and got up from his desk. He walked over to me and lifted my chin up to give me a kiss.
"Hi." He said when he pulled away.
"Hi. Do you want to get lunch?"
"I'm having someone bring it up for us. Do you like shrimp scampi? It's the best thing that the cook makes."
"That's fancy and yes I do like that."
"That's good."
He gave me another kiss and then we sat on the couch talking about our day until the food came. I forgot I was in the oval and that he was the president for a while. Whenever I'm with him it just feels normal and right. I really like him a lot and love being with him. I have never had a relationship with someone like this before. My past relationships have been weird and awkward, but with Fitz it feels right and it's different. I think he might be the one but it's too early and I don't want to scare him if I say the wrong thing.
When we were done lunch we just sat on the couch until we had to get back to work. I didn't know what he was wearing but it smelled really good. All I wanted to do was stay in his arms but I knew I had to get back to work. I finally decided to get up but when I did he grabbed my hand and pulled me back down. I sat back down on the couch right next to him and I knew what he wanted. I leaned in and gave him a little kiss but then he turned it into more than a goodbye kiss. Next thing I knew I was laying on the couch with him on top of me. I pulled away before it got out of hand.
"Fitz…" I started to sit up.
"I'm sorry if this was too soon. I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I just really like you Liv; I don't know what it is but…."
"I know, I feel the same. I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to scare you."
"That's good. I really like spending time with you Liv, I wish I didn't have to work. I have meetings all day but i'm going to call you later."
"Ok. Try not to have too much fun without me."
"Oh trust me I won't."
I laughed at his comment and then walked out of the oval. I was glad he felt that same way about me as I did him. I didn't really have anything to do for the rest of the day because it was still my first day. I just went back to my office and finished up my office. When I was done it was about 4 so I decided to go home.
2 months later
It has been two months since me and Fitz started dating. It has been 1 ½ since Fitz surprised me by coming to my apartment and telling me he loved me. I told him I loved him too and we finally did it for the first time in our relationship. We started spending a lot of more time together. The news found out that we were dating so now I get asked a lot of questions but I know not to answer them. Fitz and Cyrus taught me things about the press awhile ago in case this happened.
Our relationship was moving faster than a normal one but we didn't mind and we both wanted it to. If I worked late some nights Fitz would come and stay with me until I was done and then I would just stay the night in the residence with him. I enjoyed the nights that I stayed with him. I found I got better sleep when I was with him than sleeping by myself.
We both knew we were meant to be together. Everyone knew it too, we went to a gala a couple weeks ago and everyone was saying how good we looked together. I was trying to spend as much time with him as possible because I knew in 2 months he was going to be gone because he would be on the trail for re election. Fitz knew how I felt and told me he had a surprise for me and was going to give it to me on our 3 month anniversary.
Night of 3 month anniversary
Earlier today Fitz sent me a bouquet of flowers that said to meet him in the residence at 6. I got to the residence at 6 o'clock exactly. Fitz was already there, he wouldn't tell me where we were going though. He put a blind fold over my eyes so I couldn't see where we were going. When we got to the spot he took the blind fold of and what I saw made me almost tear up a little. He took me to the rose garden just like our first date. The only thing that was different was there were lights and there was a candle lit dinner. There was wine and finger sandwiches like our first date. I could not believe he did this, it was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. He led me to my seat and pulled out my chair for me.
"You remembered our first date."
"I remember everything we do Livvie. Plus this is only part 1 of your surprise."
"Oh really? I can't wait then."
After we ate we talked about things for a while and then we started talking about what would happen when he left. He told me not to worry about that right now and to just enjoy tonight.
"Liv, I want you to cover your eyes and I don't want you to open them until I say so."
I agreed and then covered my eyes with my hands. It was only less than a minute when he told me to open my eyes. When I opened my eyes I gasped and almost started to cry. All I saw was my amazing boyfriend on one knee in front of me with a ring.
"Olivia Carolyn Pope, the day I saw you outside your car on the street was the day I knew that you were the one. Every day and every moment with you since then has been the best time of my life. I know it's a little early to do this but I couldn't wait any longer. I love you and I know we are meant for each other. Would you make me the happiest man in the world by marring me?"
Tears were now running down my face. I nodded my head and then finally got the word out. "Yes. Yes I will marry you Fitz."
Fitz slipped the ring on my finger and then picked me up and spun me around. When he finally put me down he gave me a kiss that was so passionate and loving. I knew he was the one a while ago and I was glad he asked me because I don't think I could wait any longer.
When he pulled out of the kiss he picked me up and took me back to the residence. We went to the bedroom that we share and started undressing each other. It didn't take long until Fitz and I were going at it. When we were done we just laid there together until we both fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up before he did. All I could was look at my ring that he had given me. I didn't really get a good look at it because Fitz picked me up. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. I couldn't wait to show Abby and Cyrus. I also knew that Fitz would have me move in right away now so I knew I had to pack up my apartment. I decided to get out of bed and get ready for the day because there was a lot I had to get done. I hopped in the shower and when I got out he was still asleep. He looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake him. It was the weekend so he didn't have to get up for a while. With that I finished getting dressed and headed out of the residence and out of the white house for my very long day.
Yayyy they are engaged! Sorry for jumping ahead in time i just wanted to speed it up a bit.
Please review and comment! I enjoy hearing from all of you and what you think. It helps me to write more :)
Until next chapter...
