"You're fired."
As Amanda looked at Fitz and Tom she kept her composure. "Well, I can honestly say I did not see this coming."
Fitz looked at her like she had lost her mind. "Amanda your behavior is unacceptable, you crossed the line and I can't over look this."
Tom who had been quiet finally spoke up. "I think we are being more than generous here, we will write you a recommendation letter for wherever you decide to apply for and we will also pay you for the upcoming month."
Amanda tried hard not to roll her eyes. She wanted to ask Fitz why he felt the need to have Tom here. She knew Fitz was firing her so they could be together without worrying about work obligations. She smiled and accepted her termination letter. "I'm going to clean out my desk."
Tom waited until Amanda left before he turned to his friend, "Did you see the look in her eyes?"
Fitz rubbed his temples "Yes, I can't believe this...its like a switch flipped in her head or something. She never acted like this before."
"Maybe she did and you just didn't notice. Anyway how's Olivia?" Tom had a soft spot for Olivia , he respected her and he knew she had Fitz wrapped around her finger.
"She's great. We talked a lot over this weekend about moving forward. Her birthday is coming up and I'm trying to decide what to do."
Amanda deliberately took her time clean her desk, she wanted to speak with Fitz alone before she left. Her patience payed off because 10 minutes later Tom left Fitz office. She waited a few minutes before she opened the door without knocking and went in. Fitz looked up from his paper work with a look of bewilderment.
"Why are you still here."
Amanda shut the door behind her and walked to the front of Fitz desk. "I know why you fired me, and I wanted you to know I'm not mad. I think its a smart move that way we won't have to worry about work being a issue between us."
Fitz squinted his eyes he couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was this woman delusional? "Amanda...I don't think you understand-
"No I understand perfectly, you fired me so we can be together. You don't want work to get in the way."
Fitz stand up and leans over his desk so he is looking her in her face, he needs her to get this message loud and clear. "Amanda. I. do. not. want. you...whatever it is you are thinking stop it , there is nothing between us and there never will be. I have Olivia." Fitz said to her firmly. He was beginning to lose his patience with this.
Amanda looks at Fitz and smiles "Ok, I understand." She turns and leaves his office. Fitz falls back into his chair. He grabs his phone and calls Olivia.
Amanda grabbed her box and left. On her way to her car she kept replaying the conversation over and over. Fitz had basically told her that as long as Olivia was in the picture they couldn't be together.
Olivia inhaled the crisp salty air and couldn't help the giggle that escaped her. Her, Fitz and a few of their friends were out on the water today. They had all pitched in to rent a boat. Today was going to be filled with sun, laughter, food and quality time with her friends and most importantly her man.
Amanda pulled out the tools from her purse. She cracked open the door with ease. She walks in and takes a look around. To her right she picks up a picture from off the thin table that lines the wall . Its a picture of Fitz smiling holding up a surfboard. She lays it back down and makes her way thru the condo. It was easy to find out that Fitz wouldn't be home today. His friend had sent him an email of the boat they were to be renting today.
She couldn't wait til it was her and Fitz out in the open together, she would let Olivia enjoy it for now. She made her way to what she guessed was Fitz bedroom. The bed wasn't made and his shoes were scattered off to the side. She climbs in Fitz bed and inhales his scent, she grabs the pillow and rolls around the bed squealing from her joy. Amanda gets up and heads to Fitz walk in closet. She touches his clothes and stops when she sees a few dresses hanging in there as well. Obviously Olivia's, she can't help but admire her style. She then notices a red dress that hangs in the back.
Fitz pulls up to his building bright and early to get the work day started. He had called Terry and explained to her, he needed her back at work, she happily obliged. Fitz would make sure she could leave anytime she needed to, being a first mom and all. Amanda watched Fitz from afar as him and Terry met up at the front of the building. Fitz hugged this new woman and Amanda watched as they entered the building.
Fitz was at the gym late night working out. The gym was inside a medium sized building connected to a shopping outlet. The front was all glass windows. The treadmills lined up in front of the windows and against the walls of the entire building. Fitz just so happened to be in a spot Amanda could watch in from.
Fitz and Olivia were in the park walking along the trail. Olivia had mentioned to him that she wanted to start a light excise routine for herself. Amanda watched them from behind her shades, eyeing the happy couple.
Fitz, Olivia, Cyrus and James met up for dinner at Fitz one night , Amanda waited outside across the street stalking Fitz condo. Hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
Olivia was looking for her red cocktail dress, she and Fitz were going out for dinner tonight and she wanted to wear it, she remembered leaving it at Fitz place. She searched his closet on the side she keeps her clothes but she doesn't find it. 'Maybe its at my place.' she thought to herself. She grabbed another dress and went to get ready.
"You look amazing." Fitz complemented her as she came out the room. She was dressed in a burnt orange wrap around dress that tied at her waist, showing off and hugging her figure. She wore her nude shoes that added a few inches to her.
"You don't look bad yourself mister." she kissed him. "Lets go I'm starving."
Amanda watched as Fitz and Olivia came out the condo, they were clearly going on a date. Amanda looked in her backseat, and saw that red dress she took from Fitz closet. It must have been a gift he was going to give to Olivia. Amanda smirked.
She followed behind them until they pulled up to 'Chenai's.' Amanda quickly undressed and fixed herself up. She was going to surprise Fitz and show him that she was the better woman for that dress.
Olivia and Fitz were enjoying their dinner, and having a very entertaining conversation. Neither one was aware that they were being watched. Amanda was at the bar, she finished her drink and made her way to the couple.
"Well well well , fancy meeting you here?" Fitz and Liv looked up to see Amanda in front of their table.
Olivia spoke first "I'm sorry do we know you?" the nerve of this bitch, to come speak as if they were friends. Fitz coughed trying not to laugh at Olivia's sarcasm. If Amanda knew what was good for her she would leave. Fitz grabbed his drink and took a sip, he would let Olivia handle this.
Amanda leaned her head to the side and played along, she extended her hand to Olivia "Amanda Tanner, I was Fitz secretary for a while, remember?"
Olivia sat her fork down and crossed her fingers together ignoring Amanda's hand. "Hmmm oh yes, now I remember. The secretary who has been trying to get with my man."
Amanda's smile didn't falter "Fitz?" was he really going to let Olivia talk to her this way.
Olivia laid her hand on top of his, "Fitz has nothing to say to you, and I strongly suggest that you go on about your business before I lose what little patience I am holding on to." Olivia said so sweetly. If you were looking at her face you would have thought she was talking to an old friend, but the sweet venom in her voice said otherwise.
Amanda ran her hand over the dress, which caught Olivia's eye. If she didn't know any better she cold have sworn she had that same dress. The more Olivia looked , she was sure of it. Somehow this bitch had her dress on. Olivia was petite and she had that red cocktail dress specifically customized to her body. It wasn't a good fit for anyone else, and Amanda certainly was looking very uncomfortable in it. It was very short on her and the chest area did not fit.
"That's a nice dress Amanda, I have one just like it at Fitz place...good thing I didn't wear it tonight or we would have been twins." Olivia leans forward on the table, examining the dress. She's absolutely certain its hers. She made sure to say it was at Fitz just to dig at Amanda.
Amanda smiled slipped a little "Oh this old thing...an old boyfriend got it for me." she waves off dismissively.
Olivia kept up "Oh yea, who billy chambers?"
Amanda lost her smile. What? How did she know about Billy?
She had came in to show Fitz she was wearing this dress but now she needed to leave.
"Yes, I didn't know you two were acquainted...well it was nice seeing you both, enjoy your night." Amanda turned and left before Olivia could say anything. She needed to go see Billy and find out how he knew Olivia Pope.
