Hope you amazing people are not too upset with me for making you wait this UNBELIEVABLY long. I know this is unforgiving. Tell me how i even begin to appease you. For now, enjoy!
RING RING
"So. I hear you and Jake are getting pretty serious."
Olivia let out a sign and said "Fitz."
"What? Oh. Am i not permitted to acknowledge the fact that you are engaged? Is that out of the picture for us?" he swirled the scotch in the glass and stared intensely as if the anwer was hidden there.
" no, of course not.. and yes, we are serious. We are getting married in about two months."
Fitz takes another swing of the scotch in his hand.
Liv continues 'but that doesn't change a thing."
"how do you figure if she goes around callling him dadda?"
Olivia shook her haid and sat up in the bed. "You are angry and hurt. Tha's understandable. Go ahead but dont hide your insecurities, pain and whatnot under the facade of my relationship with Jake. Jake is a good man. He may not be perfect and he may not be Josie's dad but he is a good man. he is honest and kind and funny. And he actually gives more than a damn about me and josie even when it's not appreciated or reciprocated. So spare me this funk, Fitzgerald, because we all know including josie herself that Jake is not her dada. And we both know that this hostility is not because of Josie or Jake."
"Leave it, liv." Fitz said knowing where this conversations was going to head.
"No Fitz. No. I'm sorry. I am. I am really sorry about defiance but if you think i will allow you to let me feel this way any longer, you have another thing coming for you. "
"I said to leave it alone."
"No. I wont leave it alone. You have been drinking like a fish with your woe is me speeches you keep telling yourself. You are so consumed with yourself all the time that you dont turn around to see how i am doing."
"I did and you seemed to be doing fine. Thankyou very much."
"Oh yeah you did by having Jake spy on me."
There was a pregnant pause.
" Dont act so suprised. I always do my homework"
"liv"
"Did you even think about what i went through? What it cost me to go through with defiance. How i felt when i found out about Amanda Tanner or just how i feel everyday seeing you with your trophy wife glued to your arm. Everyday i want to crawl up and die but i dont. Because God knows that our daughter needs me and she needs a stable family. Something that we cant have"
"Dont sa-"
"I am saying it. It's true. i used to wake up everyday thinking one less day till we will be together. Then i realized that that was just another day without you. I love you , Fitz but i cant. I cant do this anymore."
"Livvie"
"I cant fitz. I cant. I'm too tired. This on again, off again thing. I cant. My hearts too tired i just cant. I'm going to bed."
"livvie, please."
"goodnight."
