A/N: Hey guys, I am so sorry for not updating for a while. I found it very hard to get inspired to write about olitz. The writers have ruined them and I don't know if they have a future. But a girl can dream. I just finished watching scandal season 1 and felt inspired to write this update.
" Olivia Carolyn Pope…." Eli Pope said into the phone with a deadly voice.
" Hi….dad…" Olivia swallowed.
" Have you lost your mind?"
" Pardon dad?"
" You frolicking around with that boy without a care in the world!" Eli half screamed.
" Dad please calm down…"
" No, Olivia I will not calm down! How do you know he's not using you? That's your problem, you trust people too much! That's what makes you weak, you won't survive in the political if you are the weak!"
" Dad…."
" NO! YOU ARE TO STOP SEEING THIS BOY OF YOURS! I already have some men I would like you to meet that would make a perfect husband."
" Dad, I'm sorry but you DO. NOT. CONTROL. MY LIFE. I will date whom I want, and marry someone I love not someone hand picked by you." Olivia finally stood up for herself.
" DON'T YOU DARE TALK BACK TO ME LIKE THIS YOUNG LADY!" Eli boomed. Olivia flinched over the phone and a single tear dropped. She took a deep breath and answered.
" Dad, I am not your little girl anymore….I am a grown woman….Please respect that I want to live my life. You are clearly upset right now, so I'm going to hang up and I will see you Saturday." With that Olivia hung up the phone and Fitz took her into his arms. Lori sensing that the couple needed to be alone left with Benji to head to the other room.
" Why does he hate me so much Fitz…?"
" Livvie…..Look at me…." Fitz whispered into Olivia's ear, but she refused. So he tried again.
" Livvie….please look at me…" Finally Olivia looked up.
" Your father does NOT hate you….I'm sure he loves you very much...Some people have a hard time showing their loved ones how much they love them….If that made any sense.." Fitz rambled and Olivia laughed.
" Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that is a sign of a worried father, but kinda on steroids…., but what I know is that anyone would be crazy not to love you…."
" You're amazing you know that?"
" I've been told…." Olivia laughed and snuggled more into Fitz's hard chest.
" Thank you for being you and sorry again for the misunderstanding…"
" There isn't anything you do that I won't forgive you for…." Olivia was so shocked she just stared into Fitz's eyes. Minutes later Olivia broke the silence.
" I should go…"
" You should go…., but that doesn't mean I want you to go…."
" I know, but I have work and I still have to read over this new bill that we have to vote on…."
" Big bad senator making a difference in the Senate….I'm proud of you Livvie…."
" And I'm proud of you for taking care of your sister and nephew…"
Fitz kissed Olivia on her forehead and held her tight.
" I've been meaning to ask you Livvie….Would you like to um….I...umm...why is this so hard….? Wouldyouliketogoonadatewithme?" Fitz blurted out.
" Fitz say it again, but much slower." Olivia laughed.
" Would you Senator Pope like to go on a date with me…? I know you're not used to going out with guys like me, and I can't take you to elegant places, but I promise you that you will have a good time."
" Fitz, I don't care that stuff and you should know that. I want to spend time with you….I don't care about how elegant the place is…..And I know I'll always have a good time with you.."
" Thank you Livvie… How about Thursday night?"
" You have yourself a date Mr. Grant! Night Fitz.." Olivia smiled up at him.
" Night Senator…" Olivia gave Fitz a kiss on his cheek and left his house with a huge smile.
That night Olivia and Fitz both went to bed with satisfied smiles on their faces. They were excited for the future that was in store for them. The next morning Olivia went to work with a bright smile on her face. Abby and Quinn were both waiting for her with knowing smiles.
" Looks like someone had a night night…" Abby smirked.
" Liv….Spill…" Quinn budded in.
" Well...everything is settled and Fitz and I will be going on a date on Thursday…" Olivia smiled while Abby and Quinn squealed.
Days leading up to Thursday, Olivia and Fitz: Texted, Facetimed, and talked on the phone whenever they could. They have learned a lot about each other and were very excited for Thursday. Olivia was a little worried when she sees her dad though, no matter how many times she tries to stand up to him he would end up winning anyway.
It was finally thursday and Olivia was excited. Fitz told her he was going to pick her up at 7pm, so Olivia left the office at 5:30 to get ready for her date. Fitz still haven't told her where they were going, but hinted that there will be a lot of movements. So Olivia decided to go with a white Bogo sundress. At 7pm sharp Fitz rung Olivia's door bell. When Olivia opened the door his breath hitched. She was breathtaking.
" You take my breath away every time I see…." Fitz kissed Olivia on the cheek.
" Awww, thanks Fitz…. And might I add that you don't look too bad yourself…" Olivia observed and he looked really hot. He had a white cotton oxford shirt on rolled up halfway to his arm, light jeans that fit him perfectly, and scandals.
Olivia loved how casual he looked. Fitz smiled at Olivia, took her hand, and headed out to his car. When they got on the road " Uber everywhere" started playing and rapped along to it. Olivia favorite part of the song was when the singer goes " Skrr skrr". Twenty minutes later they arrived at their destination. It was a outdoor Mexican restaurant. It was a self seat club so Fitz and Olivia found themselves a table. Soon a tater came and dropped off their chips and guac.
Olivia loved food and was down for anything. After ordering their food Olivia was so excited for the aftermath. Fitz had remembered how she had told him that she loved to dance. He was definitely a keeper. When the eating was done, it was time to dance. Olivia loved the Spanish music, although she couldn't understand it was like the music spoke to her in some way.
Since Fitz spoke spanish he would tell her what the song meant. The first song they danced to was " Hasta el Amanecer by Nicky Jam" it was a face paced song but sung with chil. Great grinding song. Fitz pulled Olivia back side to his front. She fit like a glove to his body. Fitz wrapped his arms around Olivia's waist and started to dance. Olivia grinded her ass to Fitz's crotch and he felt Fitz junior stir. She reached to grab his neck and they just moved to the beat. There was no room between them and it was great.
Then it changed to a fast past song called " Hasta Que Salga el Sol by Don Omar." Fitz and Olivia were great dancers and everyone around them started to cheer for them. Then they moved on to " Danza Kuduro by Don Omar" now the crowd went wild. Someone recognized Olivia and started to film Fitz and Olivia dancing. The teenage girl told everyone who Olivia was and soon the whole place know who was the woman and man that had great moves. Olivia and Fitz were too focused on each other to care what was going on around them.
Then "Limbo by Daddy Yankee" played and Fitz got super excited because this was one of his favorite songs. The couple was dancing really closely to each other and everyone was having fun. They ended the night with " Vivir Mi Vida by Marc Anthony" everyone sung along to it. Olivia and Fitz were named the King and Queen of the dance floor. They thanked the owner of the restaurant and promised to come back again. As soon as the teenage girl got home she posted her video she took of Olivia and Fitz on Facebook saying " Glad some of our politicians know how to have fun and be down to earth. This is why she's my favorite Senator."
Fitz car pulled up in front of Olivia's apartment and she turned to Fitz.
" Would you like to come up….to...ummm." Fitz touched Olivia's face and nodded. When they got up to Olivia's apartment, Fitz attacked Olivia's lips. They both sighed and kissed like there was no tomorrow. Fitz pushed Olivia against the door and continued to kiss her. As Olivia reached for Fitz's shirt he stopped her.
" We should stop…."
" Oh...um...yeah…"
" No, Livvie it's not like that….Look Liv, I really like you...I mean really really…. And I don't want to mess things up….I would just be happy holding you for the night….." Olivia smiled and nodded.
" Will you stay the night….?"
" I couldn't think of a better thing to do." Fitz smiled at Olivia.
" Okay, I'm going to take a shower because all that dancing got me all stinky." Olivia scrunched her nose.
"There's a spare shower down the hall you can use that. Do you need clothes for the night?" Olivia smiled.
" Nah, I have a overnight bag in my car, I'm going to go grab it. I'll be back in two." Fitz kissed Olivia and headed to his car. After he got his bag, Fitz headed into the apartment to take his shower. Fitz took off his clothes and headed into his shower. He was so happy right now words couldn't describe it. These few day were the best days he had since he got back. It was like he was drowning and finally oxygen have been given to him. Just then the shower head started to spaz a little and Fitz stared up at it.
As Fitz attempted to Fitz it, the shower head was making loud noises and water was coming on and off. It was like it took him back to the worst day of his life. The water soon turned into bullets coming at him. Just like when his squadron got ambushed and were out numbered. Fitz let out a scream and curled into a ball in the shower. He was rocking himself back and forth. Olivia heard the commotion and ran to the spare shower.
There she saw a sight she never want to see again. Fitz in tears and rocking himself back and forth while the shower was on.
" Fitz…." No response….
" Fitz!" Olivia moved closer to him and he flinched. It was like he was there physically, but not emotionally. Olivia took careful steps towards Fitz.
" Fitz….baby….it's me...Livvie...Your Livvie….." Fitz looked up at Olivia and looked so broken.
" Please get me out of there…...Please….I can't stay…..I don't want to be torchered anymore….please…." Fitz rocked back and forth. Olivia took of her robe and carefully joined Fitz in the shower. He flinched when Olivia lifted her hand to stroke his hair.
" You're here with me….You are safe….I'm your Livvie…" Olivia took his hand carefully and placed it over her heart.
" I want you to take deep breaths with me okay? Ready?" Fitz nodded.
" In….Out….In….Out….In….Out…." Finally after a while Fitz calmed down.
" There you are….." Olivia smiled at her Fitz. She knew at that point Fitz was a broken man and it was up to her to mend his wounds. Olivia turned off the shower, then she noticed it….Fitz's horrible scars, they were covered by his tattoos. His back made her breath hitch. It was unrecognizable. It looked like he got caned and whipped. She took him into her arms and held in tight while Fitz was numb. What monster had done this to her Fitz?
She slowly let him go and got out of the shower first and put on her robe. Then she grabbed his towel and wrapped it around his waist. He was a broken warrior. She took his hand and silently let him back to her bedroom. Olivia kissed Fitz and help him put on his clothes. While she did that Fitz looked up at Olivia with admiration, love, and something else she couldn't describe. She took the towel and carefully dried his hair. Once she was down Olivia took him into bed.
She put Fitz's head over her heart so he can hear her heartbeat. Olivia saw Fitz physically relax and held her close.
" I'm sorry….I haven't had an attack like that in a while….." Fitz finally spoke up.
" It's okay….I just want you to rest…."
" I owe you an explanation…"
" You don't owe me anything Fitz….It's okay to be not okay…."
" No, you deserve to know…."
" Okay…"
" I used be a Marine…."
