The Choice

Olivia was avoiding Stephen that night. All she could think about was the small box hidden under his pillow. She told him that she was going to read in the library because she wasn't that tired. But really, she was scared that he was going to propose to her. He smiled and just said 'Okay, babe'. Things weren't 'okay' though.

It was late at night and she was mindlessly flipping through the pages of some heavy book. Olivia slumped on the chair and suddenly closed the book. She didn't even know what she was reading. She has never been though anything so complicated in her life.

She stood up and put the book back in its place. She looked around the room and suddenly thought about going for a walk. She needed to calm down and relax for a little while. The house was big enough so she thought that it might be a little distraction from her troubles... Ohh, how she was wrong.

Olivia found herself standing in front of a door. It was a guest bedroom. She stared at the beautiful wooden door. What am I doing here? How the hell did she even get here? The person behind that door was the one and only, Fitzgerald Thomas Grant the Third. The question is if she was going to knock or is she going to walk away?

On the other side of the door, Fitz was tossing and turning on the bed. He hadn't really slept very well in possibly years. Knowing that Olivia was sleeping with someone else under the same roof as him was slowly killing him. He never thought that he would actually ever see her again but here she was.

Fitz thought about having another shower and just relieving himself with thoughts of Olivia. As creepy as it sounds, that's what would sometimes get him though his days. Simply thinking about Olivia and the happy times before their relationship ended would be enough for him.

Fitz closed his eyes as his left hand slowly made its way over his boxers. He was slightly hard. Memories of his relationship with Olivia slowly came to mind. He was about to reach into his boxers when a few quiet knocks echoed throughout the bedroom. Who the hell was knocking on his door at this hour?

He quickly stood up and put his shorts on. This better be good, Fitz thought to himself. As much as he loved the children, he really hoped that they didn't come to disturb him. He slowly made his way to the door and prepared himself to be bombarded by small children. He literally gasped and had to grip the door handle once he realised that it was in fact his Livvie standing right in front of him.

Olivia chuckled at his reaction. She was a nervous wreck when she realised that she had indeed knocked on his bedroom door. She was even more nervous when the door slowly opened. She immediately relaxed when she saw his handsome face and body.

"Hi..."

"Livvie, hi..."

"... I don't know why I'm here. I'm sorry if I woke you up."

"I wasn't sleeping... Would you like to come in?"

"I guess so."

She elegantly walks past him as he quickly shuts the door. Neither one of them believed that this was really happening. They both thought that they were somehow dreaming each other. Olivia sat on the edge of the bed as Fitz hesitantly sat near her.

"Are you okay?" Fitz softly asked.

"I could be better... I'm sorry for disturbing you. I should just leave."

"Livvie..."

He grabbed her hand as she was about to stand up. He weakly smiled as they made eye contact.

"Fitz..."

She looked like she was about to burst into tears. Fitz slowly pulled her down to straddle his lap. He could feel her tears falling onto his bear skin. He rocked her until she finally calmed.

"You must be tired. I'll take you back to your bedroom."

"No... I wanna stay with you." She sniffled as she clung to him.

"Are you sure?" Fitz replied surprised.

"I'm sure." She nodded against him.

He slowly moves them under the covers. She's still clinging to him as he strokes her back. He couldn't believe that she was in his arms again.

"I love you." Fitz whispers as they both fall into a deep sleep.

Morning eventually came. They're warmly snuggled together. Neither has ever had such a good nights sleep. Fitz kisses her forehead as she just smiles.

"I'm gonna talk to Stephen. I need to end things with him. It's just not fair on either on of us." She heavily sighed.

"Livvie, I love you and I'll wait forever if I have to but take your time. It's your choice at the end of the day."

"Fitz, I know and... I choose you. It's always been you." She smiled as she cupped his cheek.

Fitz grinned as he pulled her closer and fused their lips together. He was so happy right now. He would finally get another chance with her and he certainly wasn't going to fuck it up again. He faintly heard Olivia moaning as he pulled back with a smirk. God, he missed her so much. He literally never wanted to let her out of his grasp.
