I apologize for my delay in posting this new chapter. Work got crazy in between the last time I had the opportunity to write but who do you think is at the door? I can guarantee it's not who you expect it to be. Anywho you're in for some twists and turns so buckle up!

Olivia was more than shocked to be having company so early since it was almost time for her to go to work. She did her best to ignore the knocks but they became louder and more rapidly happening. After fully getting dressed, she hurried down to the door to find Abby and Harrison greeting her.

"Uhm hey guys, what's up?" Olivia asked in a confused tone
"We have some very exciting news for you and we didn't wanna wait before work." Abby spilled
"Spill it, it's almost time to go." Liv rushed
"We were on our way to work and I got a call from David Rosen, that super hot attorney. Well anyway, he told me that the space we had been looking into had been bought, paid in full by that actor Fitz Grant, the SUPER hot one out of him and his brother. Liv did you know anything about this?" Abby hungrily asked

Liv shot a quick smile and answered, "No, I didn't know about this. Fitzgerald is a good friend of mine, friends do nice things for each other."

"Tuhh," Harrison spat. "Good friends my ass. I know that smile from anywhere. I put that smile on plenty of girl's faces. That's your boyfriend. I wouldn't be out buying girl's buildings if I wasn't the only one chopping that tree down."

"God! Harrison, do you have to be such a pig?! I hate that I agree with him but Liv, my goodness you're glowing. Is Fitz your boyfriend?" Abby wondered

"The inter workings of my personal life aren't the topic at hand right now. You said Rosen said he closed on the property?" Olivia deflected the question with a question

"That means yes. So about these interviews, those still going on today?" Harrison asked

"Yes. Can I have you two to run those? I have to see about the closing procedures on the building and what'll be necessary. Remember I need a tech guy and another lawyer. Meet at the building around three?" Olivia asked

"Sounds like a plan."

A huge smile and sigh of relief crept on Liv's face shortly after her team left. She had been looking at that place since she graduated undergrad. Her and Fitz discussed the building almost every night. She dreamt of dark hardwood floors throughout the office and for each of her associates' spaces to match their personalities. She hurriedly made her way to the office. Upon her arrival at the office, she was greeted by Fitz.

"Why hello there beautiful?" Fitz asked

"Hi. You know you didn't have to do this for me? I appreciate it so much though. What made you want to do this?" Olivia curiously wondered

"I heard someone else was looking at closing on this building so I had too. This was your dream location. I couldn't have let this slip away from you. No you're not indebted to me so don't worry about paying me back. i had the building checked out, the furniture will be here in 2 hours. I think that's enough time to uhh, you know, christen your office, the floor, your desk, chair." Fitz said as a sly smile crept on his face. Liv returned to smile which commenced the christening

"So your name is?" Harrison asked

"I'm Huck."

"Huck what? That seriously can't be what your parents named you." Abby rudely replied

"That's not what they named me, it's what I prefer. What I like to be called has nothing to do with my job." Huck replied unbothered

"You're right. You were a computer analyst for the Marines? I say that makes you more than qualified and I'm not in the most to do anymore interviews so congrats, welcome to Olivia Pope and Associates." Harrison hurried along

"You're getting cornier as the day goes by! Olivia Pope and Associates? Next you'll suggest some corny tag line like "We aren't soldiers in armor, we're gladiators in suits!" Abby annoyingly shouted

"Just for that, I'll keep that tag line. Liv will like it since she has that weird obsession with 300. I'll make sure to credit you with the tag line." Harrison said as a huge smile appeared on his face. "You said that girl Quinn was your pick?"

"Yeah, she's weird but she'll get the job done. Isn't it about time to meet Liv?"Abby asked

"It's 2:30 so I'd say it's safe to go. Gladiators, mount up!" Harrison laughed

After christening her new work space, the two lovers bid farewell as Fitz was summoned for a tea party with his princess. This left Liv to herself to reflect on the last month and all that had taken place. She had a somewhat publicized breakup with Devin, met her childhood crush, Fitz, who was now her wonderful boyfriend who helped finance her dream building without even asking. She was happy. Yes, it happened faster than she anticipated but she wouldn't have had it any other way. Just before she drifted off into la-la land, her phone jolted her back to reality and it was the last person she wanted to talk to.

"You're not man enough to talk to me so you send your girlfriend?" Olivia angrily answered the phone

"Good afternoon to you too Olivia. I apologize for that, I didn't even send her, she went behind my back and she's not my girlfriend, you are." Devin thirstly replied

"Try again. You publicly humiliated me. You lied to my face. You called me HER while you were inside of me. You made me mistrust my gut and go against my good judgement. If that's how you treat "your" girlfriend, I can do bad all by myself. Goodbye." Olivia tearfully answered

She pulled herself together, not wanting to appear weak in front of her staff. "Gladiators don't cry" she told herself. No sooner than she pulled herself together, her staff walked in.

"Uhh Liv, I know we just officially got squared away and all but we have our first client." Harrison nervously spat

"Yeah, it's um Hollis Doyle." Abby whispered

THERE YOU HAVE IT! Fitz out here buying property and Liv is still gift wrapping the panties. It's all in good standing in my story though. Fitz is all hers. I had all y'all thinking Devin was gonna pop up at her door. Lol nope! That phone call though smh. But Hollis has a lot of balls coming to Liv asking for help. Drop your reactions in the reviews and until next time.
