Cherry Oak
****** flashback
She walked lightly across the marble floor heading to his office that was located on the other side of the house. She had lived in this house since she was in Rebecca's womb. This was her home, the only home she knew and loved. The ceilings went up to the heavens and each room was tastefully decorated. This house was the perk of being a daughter of a governor. Getting closer and closer to the office Mellie started to think of a reason her father would want to see her so early in the morning. It was 5 am and she was sleeping peacefully, dreaming of the Chanel purse she couldn't wait to buy the following morning. She reached for the handle and knocked softly.
"Come in."
Her father was sitting in his big chair, eyes busy at a folder of documents in front of him. His brown eyes were magnified by his rimless reading glasses that made him ironically appear younger.
"Father what do you need? I was sleeping. This couldn't wait until 9?" Mellie obeyed his hand signal to sit in the chair. She rolled her eyes and sat down resting her chin in her hand.
"Well Scar I have something for you. It's something better than you've ever gotten."
"Father you are a funny man you know that? What on earth are you talking about? Something better than I've ever gotten? Not to be a snob but father I have all that I need and want and then some, what more can you possibly offer me?" She wanted to burst into laughter at what she was hearing. Something better? Psh yea right
"Fitzgerald Thomas Grant II, Governor Grant. He has a son who is quiet dashing. He has looked for a special girl to take his boy off his feet. You know that I am friends with damn near ever republican in office, so I felt as if it was my duty to help out my good pal. Scar. You are . You two will court and eventually get married." He smiled at her and signed whatever he was reading before the conversation.
"Are you serious? How does he look? Father you just can't expect me to run off with someone! I don't even know him! What if he's a psychopath? Father, what if we are incompatible what the hell will we do? What if he is hideous? What if-"
"Silence Millicent. Keep your mouth shut and you listen to me real good. I'm going to keep this real simple, You will marry this boy and you will deal with it! If you do not like him or if he doesn't like you then that's just too damn bad! You will not disobey me, governor grant and your soon - to - be husband. Be a good girl and do what you are told." His face was a slight shade of red. He could feel his daughter still staring at him in disbelief.
"Go upstairs and get dressed. We are having brunch with them. You have about 4 hours to get ready. Just enough time. He said with a smirk - that's why I woke you up so early so you could have all the time you need. You are dismissed." Michael nodded his head and continued to work on the next task on his desk. Mellie couldn't feel her body. She walked up to her room but it felt as if she was gliding. Her face was burning up with rage and pain that her father was still a controlling maniac. When she got to her room she went straight to her closet full of her designer wardrobe and handbags to match. She reached out and ran her long elegant fingers over a plum colored dress. She looked over it a few more times before she withdrew it from it's holding spot.
"Olivia? What a pleasant surprise! Are you calling to congratulate me on my recent news of a bundle of joy coming me and Fitz's way?"
Olivia made a snarky little laugh escape her and straightened up in her chair to talk to Mellie.
"I need you to meet me at Tucker's warehouse on 21st and Ambler tomorrow at 12pm. I would like to discuss business in person rather over the phone."
"Oh Liv how did you know I was coming back to DC? Did my husband tell you? Well I guess it doesn't matter but could you at least tell me why you want to see me in person? I was enjoying this little conversation."
"Correction. It is Olivia or to you. Mellie we need to discuss something in person, not on the phone. If you want everything to go smooth sailing I need you to do what I say and not question me. If I wanted to hurt you I would not be having this conversation with you. Like I said, meet me at the Tucker's warehouse around 12 tomorrow. The door will be unlocked go up to the 4th floor."
Olivia hung up the phone and didn't dare wait for Mellie to respond. The information she had on Mellie was going to floor her and she couldn't wait to see the look on her face.
No! Give me that one!" Abby yelled trying to get around Harrison.
"No hot tamale it's mine! Ha! Abby move get off of me!"
"Mmm this one is sooo good!" Quinn said stuffing the chocolate donut in her mouth.
"I will castrate you with my bare hands if you don't give me that donut!" Abby said pounding her little fist into Harrison's back.
"Not a chance Abby, never. And I mean never touch a black mans food." Harrison let out a loud chuckle as he spun around to hand Abby the sprinkled covered donut that she had whinnd about for the past 2 minutes.
"Good thing I just like glazed donuts." Liv said throwing her head back laughing heartily at what she just witness taking place.
"Good thing I bought two boxes." Huck said through mumbles as he took another bite out of his jelly filled donut.
"Did you say two? We only have one box Huck!" Quinn squealed with evident dis may at the discovery that Huck was holding out on one of the best wonders of the world.
"Harrison have you talked to Tarren?" Abby asked while whipping the corners of her mouth.
The room got extremely quite that you could hear a feather drop. Huck looked down at his shirt whipping away invisible crumbs he managed to drop. Quinn but her donut aside and sat back in her chair fiddling with the hem of her grey pencil skirt. Olivia sat there leaning forward with her elbows propped on the table waiting for Harrison to respond. She blinked really fast trying to prepare herself for any news.
"She called me and said she is safe. She won't tell me where she is but she did say it was beautiful and she thinks she will fit in well." He walked over to Liv and rested his hand on her shoulder.
"She's a smart girl, I know she will be just fine." Olivia said without a tad bit of doubt.
"Someone is here." Quinn said springing to her feet walking toward the entrance. Everyone stood and followed Quinn. Eager to see who they would cross paths with today giving the fact the business was slower than usual.
They all stood there lined up side by side facing the elevator. Harrison shoulder with Abby, Abby shouldered with Olivia, Olivia shouldered with Huck and Quinn shouldered to the right of Huck. Olivia stood firmly in place with her arms folded tight against her chest.
The elevator dinged and two men in black walked forward first. Everyone stood straighter. Before Olivia could uncross her arms she saw him descend forward.
"Morning Quinn, Huck, Harrison and Abby."
"Morning ." They all said in unison except Olivia who was boiling with rage at Fitz announced arrival.
Without a word he grabbed Olivia by the arm and in return she yanked her arm free from his hold and stepped in front of him power walking down the hall to her office.
Her ass looks incredible in grey slacks.
"So that's how you split the Red Sea." Abby said under her breath earning a low laugh from Harrison and Quinn.
She slammed the door not caring if the others heard it. She was trying to remain calm but feeling and seeing his presence was not helping at all.
"Who the hell do you think you are coming in here like this?"
He remained silent watching her eyes narrow down on him.
"This is my job. I work here! You cannot just waltz your ass in her like you own this place. It does not say Grant and associates. Next time you want something from me, I advise that you ca-." Olivia cut off the last word because she was guilty of not answering his calls. For the last 3 days she had ignored fitz. She was so busy trying to make sure everything went off with a hit that she needed time to me fully devoted to the task at hand.
"What was that? I believe you were about to say call. You know it's funny because that's what I have done for the past 3 days Olivia. I had no word from you in 3 days except for that statement you released out to the press saying that everything is not as it seems. Is something stressing you out? Is it a case you are working on that is making you close the door on me?" He stood in front of her wanting to reach out and hold her but decided against it.
"Yes. There is a case and I am not at liberty to discuss it with you. At one point I will be but not now." She said everything in one breath and swallowed hard after she regulated her breathing.
"Are you sure that's all?" He asked walking to her desk looking around trying to take in everything.
"You redecorated. I like it. I see you kept the desk." He said touching the desk but keeping his eyes locked on Olivia.
******* flashback
It was the 2nd night at OPA and Olivia was already exhausted. Their case was about a 22 year old who found her father dead in the bed of his newly wedded wife who was only 3 years older than her. She was hysterical explaining how she hated her step mother and knew that she did it. Basically an open and shut case. It too Huck a grand total of 3 minutes to see the holes in her story due to 20 million was deposited into her account. Olivia confronted the girl after she made a friendly call to David Rosen. They arrived just in time and hauled the spoiled princess out. Closing the file folder on her desk, Olivia put her head in her hands trying to rest her eyes.
"This is what you left me for?"
She jumped at the sound of his voice. Her breathing picked up right along with her rapid heart beat.
"Mr. President. What are you doing here? You should leave." Olivia stood up out of her chair but refused to move closer to him.
"You didn't answer my question. You left me for a smaller office? I miss you Livvie. I miss you so much." He started to move but stopped when she threw her hand up.
"Fitz. You seriously need to go. It's 11:20 at night you shouldn't be here. They are probably looking for you as we speak." He looked at her but then something caught his eye. It was a picture of him from the campaign. It was the one painted red white and blue. He couldn't believe she still had it. His eyes scanned the rest of the office when he spotted 2 more pictures. One was of them at the corn fields in Iowa and another one was them hugging after his speech in Colorado. He was so nervous that day because he was sick but Olivia pushed him and told him he could do anything and a little cold was nothing he couldn't over come. They looked so happy.
Noticing that he saw the pictures, Olivia shifted over to the left so that she was standing in front of the pictures.
"I'm leaving. You should do the same before someone comes back in here because they "forgot" something." She picked up her lap top and purse and went to the right trying to snake past him.
She felt his warm hand on her hip and a chill went up her spine. His touch was always so intoxicating and it drove her mad.
"Please don't go. Can we talk for a little? Tell me about this place. I want to know as much as you can tell me. Please." Olivia didn't say anything nor did she move a muscle. She wanted to stand her ground and tell him that they were done and he needed to go but she couldn't say no. Not now.
"It's fine. Had a case today that was really easy. It didn't take long to know the girl was guilty. I like it Fitz. It keeps my mind off of. Off of things." She rubbed her hand along her arm trying to mask the pain from her face.
"I can't keep my mind off you. I can never keep my mind off you. Why now livvie? We've been together but all of a sudden you just stop. You resign. You didn't even tell me anything."
"Why should I! Why should I have to tell you anything?! This. This thing that we have going on isn't worth anything. It was going to end sooner or later and I chose to end it while I still had a chance to get away. You coming after me, coming here was a mistake. You should really think about things before you act on it."
"Oh come on Olivia. Give me a break! Me! It's always me! Fitz you should, Fitz you shouldn't, Fitz that's not right, Fitz you are the president, Fitz you can't. No Olivia. No! I know what I can and can't do. You are not my guardian, you are not my mother. I don't need a mother. I need my soul mate. I need you. I need you by me." Fitz was in her personal space and there was no escape.
His chest was rising and falling at the same rate as Olivia's. both of their eyes tearing up making it hard to avoid the inevitable. She leaned in and kissed him softly which then turned into a passionate strong kiss. Her tongue dueled with Fitz's tasting the peppermint tea that was still fresh on his taste buds. his right hand moved onto the middle of her back while his left hand grabbed a handful of her ass. She whimpered at the feel of his hands cupping her ass. She broke the kiss and stood back. He saw her eyes become darker with desire and need. She ran up on me and pushed him repeatedly until the heel of his shoes hit the bottom of her cherry oak desk.
"I think we could do it right here on this desk." Olivia's voice had switched down into her salutry tone. His erection was fully grown now as Olivia ran her hands up to his thighs grabbing his manhood through his pants. She unbuckled his pants and pulled them down. As soon as his boxers followed suit, he got off the desk and pulled Olivia so her back was facing him. He licked her ear and nibbled on her neck as he fumbled for a zipper on her pants.
"Where? What kind of pants are these." He managed to say out of breath and clearly running on the last thread of patience.
Olivia tilted her head down and unzipped her pants. She made a small giggle at the thought of Fitz not being able to find the zipper. Each layer of clothing dropped to the floor. They stood holding each other naked. Fitz bit her shoulder and put his cock into its favorite resting place. Olivia took a deep breath and exhaled once fitz started moving in and out. She felt all of her problems go away thrust after thrust. She moved her hips with him and stretched her left leg further out on to the desk. He always pushed her flexibility limits. Years of swimming and ballet came in handy dealing with Fitz.
"Mmm Fitz." She whispered trying to stay quiet as possible. Everyone was gone but at any minute one of them could return for varies reasons.
"Did you miss me?" He asked rubbing his cheek along the side Of her face.
"I missed him." She said as she let out a yell due to Fitz digging deeper hitting her gspot.
"You didn't miss me? You just missed my buddy?" He tried to sound hurt but he couldn't keep his voice together. He slapped her ass and started pumping hard and deeper. He was hitting all of her walls and he could feel his cock throbbing with readiness to release. Olivia grunted out of frustration when fitz stopped and pulled out. He turned her around and picked her up sitting her back on the desk.
"I want to see your face sweet baby." He kissed her and easied himself back into her.
"Goodness Livvie. You feel so much tighter and wetter." Olivia shook her head continuously not able to use her words. She kept her eyes opened watching the sight of him going in and out. Her body was tired but her need to have him still inside her, out weighed her tiredness. He grabbed her and held her close as her nails dug into his back. She held on tight feeling that not only was she close to release but he was too. He cupped her face and gave her a sloppy kiss. With one hard thrust Olivia cried out as she felt her body jerk. Fitz held onto her as he released every once of himself in her. Both drenched in sweat and exhaustion stayed in the same position for what seemed like hours. Neither of them wanted to depart their bodies knowing that they had to separate soon. Fitz made the first move slipping right out of Olivia's wet throbbing sex. She lowered her head and got off the desk. She didn't want him to go but knew it was well past due. They dressed quietly not saying a word to one another. Once Fitz put his tie around his neck, Olivia zipped her pants and walked over to him to finish up his tie.
"I love you." He said kissing her forehead letting his lips linger a little longer than he should have.
"I love you too." She straighten it up and patted his chest twice. He tightened his hold on her hips.
"Will you come back?" Olivia lifted her head up looking at him puzzled at what she just heard.
"You think because you fucked me I'm going to come back to you? You are an asshole." Olivia shoved her way out of his hold. Her eyes started to tingle as she went to pick up her purse and her blazer.
"That's not why Liv. I was hoping you would change your mind."
"Change my mind? Change my mind because you just got what you wanted? You are out of your mind. I like being a boss, being my own boss so for you to expect me to roll over and lie down is the stupidest shit I've ever heard come out of your mouth. You out of anyone should know me. I hate you! I hate you so much get out of my office and get the hell out of my business!" Her hands were shaking and her voice was rugged.
"Olivia."
"Get the fuck out Fitzgerald! We are done! I don't ever want to deal with you again! Pretend that I am dead. This will be the last time you use me!"
Fitz was stunned at Olivia's out burst. Did she really mean it? He didn't mean for it to come out that way but he was hoping a little jump start would change her mind. Once on the elevator he felt like the biggest ass hole in the world. What he said and what she said played in his head over and over.
"Back to the house tom."
"That's not why I kept the desk." Olivia said giving him a small smirk.
"Okay, if that's what you keep telling yourself. I have a press conference tomorrow. I'm kind of scared to tell you the truth." He said running his hand over his jacket.
"So that's why you really came. I knew it was something for your benefit."
"That's not true. I've missed you so much, I could show you. On that desk." Fitz picked her up an carried her to the desk.
"Fitz! Put me down! Stop seriously we are not alone in her!" She hit him lightly on the arm.
"What is up with you and desk?" Olivia asked standing up and moving far away from the desk.
"Well it kind of just came to mind in the spur of the moment with my girlfriend inauguration night. After that I can't look at a desk without reliving that night." He chuckled at his own confession.
"Mhm. Well I need to head back to my team and you need to go back to the White House. Baby, I love you. And I'm sorry for being distant, hold off on the press conference okay?"
"Why I think it's time that we feed them more Liv. They are still on us."
"And that's why you thought it would be a good idea to come here to see me?" She asked putting her hand on her hip.
"No one. And I mean no one knows I'm here. That's why I bought Tyler and Billy with me. No one has ever seen them and it's not like I rolled through here in my motorcade. I'm not as d-u-m-m as you think." He said winking at her. She laughed loudly at Fitz comedic spelling error. She loved Fitz silly side.
"Come on you need to go." Fitz didn't put up a fight but took one more good look at her office and headed towards the elevator.
"Good bye ." The group all said again like school children saying farewell to their teacher.
"Call me Fitz. sounds so serious. I hope to see you all again really soon." Fitz gave them a big smile and reached for Liv to come next to him.
"See you later Livvie. I promise I will smile really big at the cameras down stairs."
"Cameras!"
"Breath Livvie it's a joke. I'll call you. I love you. Be good." He pulled her in for a hug and a kiss meant for the mouth but was dodged so he settled for cheek.
"One minute?" Olivia said into his ear rubbing small traces on his back.
"Of course, one minute."
They stood there holding each other close. He was not the president and she was not the fixer. They were just Liv and Fitz. Just like everyone else. They have ups and downs and arguments but at the end of the day. They had each other. Olivia broke out of the embrace and waved good-bye.
Once Fitz was out of ear shoot Olivia turned around to see everyone staring holes into her.
"What is everyone staring at?"
"Livvie Liv has been shot in the ass by Cupid that's what! We love you Liv. Glad that you are happy." Abby said genuinely filled with joy for her best friend.
"Yea, lets just hope we can keep it that way. Come on let's get the copy of the names."
Dontcha just love seeing a playful Fitz?! He's so funny! I know you guys are probably like OMG what the hell why are they always arguing give me that fluff! I know I know but I'm trying to keep these characters real! All couples argue and go through things. I would rather have them face problems together rather then break up to make up! Next chapter will be the show down between Liv and Mellie! I really hope y'all enjoyed it! Xo until next time!
