AN: Sorry it's been a while since I've posted but I've been very busy and I probably won't post as regularly. Hopefully, in the future I'll be able to do a full story instead of just one shots. This one shot is mostly Fitz's point of view. Anyway, please forgive any mistakes and let me know what you guys think :)

It was late at night and Fitz had just got back from a business dinner. He had a long elevator ride as his hotel room was the penthouse suite. He was alone in the elevator and so he leaned back against one of the walls and closed his eyes.
A few floors later, the elevator door dinged and opened. He opened his eyes just in time to see this magnificent woman walk in. She looked at him and smiled. He quickly smiled back at her. She blushed and turned around.
Fitz was surprised that she didn't recognise him. He was a famous director and producer. At the age of 40, he had accomplished many great things within the movie and tv industry. Wherever he went, there would always be someone wanting his attention. Wanna be actors, actresses, directors and producers.
'I guess not everyone knows who I am.' Fitz thought.
He stared at the woman in front of him and wondered who she was, what she was like and what she was doing here. He hoped that she was single. It had been a long time since he had been in a relationship. He just didn't have the time for one.
As he was about to speak and introduce himself when the elevator suddenly stopped. He was shocked as the woman in front was too as she gasped aloud.
"Ohh my god, ohh my god." She repeated.
It looked like she was about to freak out and have a panic attack.
"Hey, hey, look at me." Fitz said putting his hands on her shoulders trying to calm her down. They stared into eachothers eyes for a little while.
"I need you to breath in and out. It's gonna be okay."
"Okay." She said trying to calm down.
"Good... that's it, keep doing that."
He couldn't help but be mesmerised by her eyes and beautiful face even in her state of panic.
"Thank you." She said finally calming.
"You're welcome." Fitz grinned.
Fitz finally let go of her shoulders as he realised how close they were.
"I'm Fitz, Fitzgerald Grant." He said holding his hand out to shake.
"I'm Olivia Pope." She smiled as she shakes his large hand.
"Sorry about that, I was just really shocked and was scared that the elevator may drop or something."
"Don't worry about it. I was shocked too." Fitz says chuckling.
Fitz goes to the panel on the wall to see if he can get some help or somehow get the elevator to start working again.
"Hold tight guys, it should be fixed within 10 minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience." Says a voice from the speakers in the elevator.
"Well, I guess we're stuck for a little while. Will you be alright?" Fitz asks.
"I'll be fine, thanks." She replies.
"So..." They both say at the same time and then both laugh.
"So, may I ask why you're staying in a hotel?" He says chuckling.
"I'm on a business trip, I'm a lawyer. What about you?"
"Me too, well I'm a director and producer."
"Wow, I bet that's interesting work."
"Yeah, it is." He smiles.
A short while passes and Fitz decides to be bold for once.
"If you don't mind me saying but you're very beautiful you know. Just out of curiosity, are you single?"
"Thank you and yeah, I'm single." She blushes.
Suddenly, the elevator starts working again and a few moments later stops at a floor.
"Well, this is my floor." She smiles.
Just as she was about to exit the elevator, Fitz grabs her hand.
"I know we just met, but I can't help but think this is a coincidental meeting. I'm in the penthouse suite and I was wondering if you'd like to hang out tomorrow or something." Fitz says hopefully.
"I'm in room 250, I'll see you tomorrow." Olivia says as she smiles and squeezes his hand and exits the elevator.
The elevator door shuts and Fitz can't help but be excited to see her once again.

The next morning, Fitz wakes up early to get ready. Just before 10 am he is making his way down in the elevator. He hopes it doesn't break down again but he couldn't help but smile at the incident last night. He takes a deep breath and knocks on her hotel room door. The door slowly opens revealing her beautiful self.
"Hi." He grins.
"Hi." She replies giggling.
"Would you like to get some breakfast?" He asks.
"Sure, there's a place down the road."
He grabs her hand as they walk to the elevator. They are both smiling and standing close to one another.
"I hope it doesn't break down again." Olivia chuckles.
"Me too, but I wouldn't mind if it means I get to spend more time with you." He flirts.
She blushes but doesn't reply, instead she leans in closer to him.

They arrive at the breakfast place down the road and order their food.
"So tell me more about yourself." Fitz asks.
"Well I'm 35 years old, I'm an only child. I live and work for a law firm in Los Angeles." She smiles.
"Wow small world, I live in Los Angeles too. I'm 40 years old and I'm an only child also." He says.
"I feel like us meeting is somehow fate." Olivia whispers.
"Maybe it is." Fitz replies, grabbing one of her hands and kissing it.
They smile at each other and hold eachothers hands as they eat their breakfast.

One day later, they fly home to Los Angeles together and decided to be in a exclusive relationship. At 5 months, they decided not to waste any time and move in together. Olivia moved into Fitz's penthouse as it was much bigger and actually closer to the city. Fitz knew that Olivia was the one. She wasn't using him for money or fame or for anything else that he could possibly give her.
Fitz learned that Olivia would sometimes get jealous because woman and even men would practically throw themselves at him to get a job in a movie or tv part. They worked their issues out and Olivia knew that he loved her and that was just part of his line of work. Now 1 year on, life couldn't be any better for the both of them.

"Babe!" Olivia shouts as she enters the penthouse.
She walks further inside and finds a candle lit dinner. There's candles and rose petals scattered around the room. Fitz emerges out of nowhere wearing a tuxedo and holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Happy one year anniversary." He grins.
"Fitz..." Olivia says shocked.
He puts the flowers in a vase and walks up to her and gives her a heart stopping kiss.
"Hmm, happy anniversary. This is an amazing surprise, baby. Your gift is hidden somewhere." She says out of breath.
"You can give it to me later. Come on let's eat." Fitz chuckles as he hugs her tightly.
"I feel so under dressed, you're wearing a tuxedo."
"You look beautiful, baby." He winks.

"That dinner was amazing, thank you." She says kissing him.
He grins and kisses her again.
Fitz decides that this is the perfect moment and to just go for it. He stands up, reaches into his pocket and gets down on one knee and reveals the ring. Olivia is once again shocked as she did not expect this at all. Her legs would have probably given up if she wasn't already sitting down.
"I know we've only been together for one year but I don't want to wait anymore. I love you so much baby and I know that being with me can sometimes be difficult especially in my line of work but neither of us is getting any younger and I can't wait to be husband and wife. So Livvie, will you marry me?"
"Yes Fitz, of course baby!"
Fitz grins as he puts the ring on her finger. He then stands up and picks her up twirling her in the air as she giggles. As he puts her down, they start to make out like they have never done before.
"Hmm, I love you." Olivia says.
"I love you too." Fitz says as they stare at eachother with so much love.
