Waiting for Fitz to come over seemed like the longest 20 minutes of my life. I didn't know what was taking him. Maybe he was in a meeting; also Hal has to get him out of the white house so that could take some time. He just knocked on the door and then he came in.
"Liv I came as soon as I could…."
I was just sitting on the couch staring into space thinking about what I would say to him first. I didn't know if I should talk to him about Jake first or how Jake is possibly working for the mole. I don't know how I could tell him that because of how close they seem to be. I was just going to tell him everything, no more lies.
"Livvie are you OK What's going on?" He was now sitting next to me on the couch and looking at me. I finally decided to turn to him. I saw his blue eyes looking at me. He was really worried now, I could see it. Next thing I know I'm kissing him. It was just a simple kiss but then he deepened the kiss, his hand went to the back of my neck to deepen the kiss more. I finally broke away for air.
"I need to tell you a couple of things but you need to listen to it all. Also you cannot get mad."
"I won't get mad, what is it?"
"I'm going to start at the beginning. While Jake was watching me I met him at a coffee house, I didn't really talk to him. I had a case that week and I went to the pentagon looking for Captain Ballard, I didn't know it was him I only knew his first name. After that we went on a couple of dates but nothing major."
"Wait he was dating you! I asked him if you were dating someone after the Caldwell event and he said you weren't! That son of a bitch!"
"Fitz you said you wouldn't get mad."
"I know I'm sorry, continue."
"I was also giving him information to give to you, because I knew we were fighting and you didn't want to see me. The mole killed a girl named Wendy. She had a flash drive with information, the same information I gave Jake to give to you. The only thing I did not give Jake was that Osborne was the mole, which he is not. My team is working on who the mole is still. I also think that the person who broke into my apartment helps the mole."
"OK I understand."
"This morning I went to Jake's and got all the videos from when he was watching me. I went over this week's videos and I found something. When Jake put the cameras back up after Huck swept my apartment I wrote down these numbers that were on the screen. Then I watched when the robber broke into my apartment. I'm going to say this again, do not get mad, just not yet OK."
"OK."
"The night that the robber was in my apartment I was at Jake's. I got up in the middle of the night and was about to watch TV. Next thing I know I'm watching my apartment; I was in shock and dropped a glass. Jake came out and tried to talk to me but I started to run. He grabbed me and I started fighting him, next thing I know I was thrown across the room into a table. I blacked out after that."
I could see Fitz getting madder and madder. I had to hold his hands to calm him down. It only worked a little.
"I'm going to kill him."
"Fitz you are not going to kill Jake."
"And why not?"
"Because it's not the person you are. Also I have more to show you. Before I blacked out I asked Jake why he was watching me. He said to protect me from him, and then he showed me a person in my apartment with a gun. When I looked back at the footage of the robber I wrote those numbers down also. They both are in the 6's; they are way too close together. Then I watched it again, the robber and Jake have the same clothes on but the robber has a ski mask on. Just watch. And do you see the daylight in my apartment, it's from the same day Fitz. I think Jake is against us and is working with the mole."
"I see your reasoning's but maybe he recorded that just in case you came over. Or he could be working for the mole and if he is we need to have him looked up and questioned right away."
"No we can't do that, I was thinking that we go back to the white and you call Jake and ask him questions to try to get him to confess. We will have agents and FBI outside the oval just in case we do need to have him locked up. OK."
"OK that sounds good."
We got up from the couch and were about to leave when Fitz stopped in front of me.
"One minute?"
"Ya, one minute."
I chuckled at him before he took me over to the couch. We sat on the couch holding each other just like we did over a year ago. I still remembered that moment. When our minute was up he released me. Before we headed to the door he dipped his head down and started kissing my neck. He trailed kisses up my neck until he found my lips. This kiss was sweat and full of emotion. I didn't want it to end. I know that Fitz is sorry and I think I just finally forgave him in that moment. When we broke away he had his forehead pressed up against mine.
"Livvie, I am so sorry for hurting you and having you put in danger like that. Jake isn't the man I thought he was and I am so sorry. I love you. Can you please forgive me because I can't live without you…."
I cut him off by kissing him again. "I forgive you Fitz, and yes."
"What do you mean yes?"
"In the hospital you asked me if I still loved you, and I do. I love you."
Next thing I knew Fitz picked me up and spun me around. When he put me down he had the biggest smile on his face.
"I know last time I asked you this, things went bad, but Olivia, will you wait for me. I'm going to ask Mellie for a divorce again; I just wanted to make sure you were behind me 100%."
"You can't do that right now. You have to tell the American people if you are going to run again in less than 6 weeks."
"Yes I can, and I will. I'm going to run for president, and i'm going to win. Do you know how I know that?"
"No, how are you going to win Fitz?"
"Because I have the most amazing campaign fixer by my side."
"Oh Ya, and who is she? She better not try to move in on my boyfriend."
"I'm your boyfriend again?"
"You've always been my boyfriend, even when we were in fights together."
We both just stared at each other. I knew that he needed my help if he was going to pull this off. I also knew that hurricane Mellie was going to come full force. I was reading now to take her on. First though we needed to control the mole situation.
"We need to get to the white house now. Call Jake and tell him to come in 30 minutes. Do not let him know I will be there."
"OK."
Fitz kissed me again before we headed out the door. As soon as we were in the car Fitz called Jake. Jake agreed to meet in the Oval office. After he hung up we just sat there holding hands because we knew what was about to happen. We had two problems we had to solve in 5 weeks, the mole and Mellie. We arrived at the white house; we took a deep breath and got out of the SUV. We got to the oval and waited for Jake to get here. We just sat on the couch, I was in his arms and that's all that mattered. 20 minutes passed and we heard a knock on the door. We both stood up and Fitz went to the front of his desk while I stood behind the one couch. When Jake came in he shook hands with Fitz. He went to go sit on the couch and when he turned around he saw me standing there. I gave him a you should be scared face and then sat on the couch and looked like he was going to be sick.
