"I thought you're busy with paper work." Fitz said to Olivia, not as a question.
Jake sensed, who ever Fitz was, must be interested in Olivia. He pulled her closer and said to Fitz. "Busy with me. Are you the delivery boy?" He threw a smirk at Fitz.
"What are you doing here? I thought we agreed to see each other tomorrow" Olivia asked, with her concentration on Fitz, not pulling away from Jake.
Fitz was silent, his eyes, moving from Olivia to Jake, having no clue who Jake was. He was hundred percent sure Olivia wasn't seeing anyone, Abby even made mention of that.
Jake broke the silence "Who is this guy?" He asked Olivia. "Is this why..?" He didn't finish his sentence, because he was lingering kissing on Olivia's neck, trying to make Fitz jealous.
Olivia then pulled away from Jake, in order not to escalate whatever that was happening. She had no idea how to deal with the situation at hand. She did the first thing that popped into her head, introduced them.
"Fitz, Jake, Jake, Fitz." She said, pointing each of them; waiting for them to say nice to meet each other, but no one extended the hand further. Olivia thought the only solution would be for them both to leave, in order not to create a scene. And it would better for her not to choose side. She took a step in front of her door, with hands crossed, waiting for them to leave. She wished she could ask Fitz to stay, he looked very tired, but Jake might cause a scene.
Fitz saw Olivia's action, insinuating for them to leave, for him to leave too, and he was heartbroken by the realization. But he needed some clarifications before doing so. "You didn't say who he is to you." Fitz was barely audible with so much pain in his voice.
Jake extended his hand forward to greet Fitz now, bragging. "I am the boyfriend, the only guy she has ever dated, and the one she can't get over, never ever."
Fitz did not extend his hand to reciprocate the gesture. He thought of the guy Abby mentioned was Olivia's first love, and the only guy Olivia has ever dated, the guy Abby thought Olivia could never get over. If the pain in his voice was felt before, the one on his face was heart shattering.
Olivia saw Fitz's reaction to Jake's statement, how hurt he looked; she then tried to tell Jake to get over himself. As she opened her mouth to say it, Jake leaned forward and kissed her on the mouth. Olivia was so shock, she didn't even move, she was numb. Jake kept on kissing her, with no reaction or resistant from Olivia. Fitz was just staring at them, feeling lifeless and weak.
After Jake was satisfied with his accomplishment, he said to Olivia "Think about that baby. No matter how hard you try, I'm always going to be special to you. I was your first and I am going to be your last." He turned to Fitz and mocked. "she said she is busy because she wanted to be with me. I am, and always will be the love of her life. Have a nice day, Fitz!" He took some steps forward, then thought of something and walked closer to Fitz's ear, saying slowly. "I took her virginity, and some naive girls like Olivia don't forget about that easily. And that's why she's still tugged up on me." Jake left smiling.
Olivia and Fitz were both silent, starring at each other. Fitz was still lifeless, the pain on his face was excruciating, and Olivia could see it. She was biting her lower lips, not knowing what to say or do that could take away the pain he seemed to be going through. Her eyes were filled with tears just from the look on Fitz's face.
Acknowledging she has to say something or anything, she stammered. "I'm…. sorry…. I'm not in love with him….. I don't know what to say. Please don't be mad, don't hate me please."
"Why did you think you ought to lie about being busy?" Fitz asked her and swallowed spit; his own eyes filled with tears too. He continued "He is right. You're still in love with him, and I don't think you will ever get over him."
The tears were now pouring on Olivia's face. "No, I don't love him. I never did. Please believe me. I only went out with him today because he said he has a confession to make. I'm sorry I lied to you about being busy with paper work. I didn't want you being suspicious or asking questions about him. Fitz, please hear me out." Olivia cried out.
"I brought this for you, I have to go." He gave her the ribbon wrapped box, walking away.
Olivia pleaded through tears for him to stay. "Fitz please don't go, don't leave. Stay with me please."
Fitz stopped and thought for some few seconds, he walked back to her and said to her. "I won't lie to you Olivia; walking away right now hurt so much. He kissed you in front of me and you didn't try to stop him or push him away. Moments ago you didn't ask him to leave and for me to stay, you wanted us both to leave. How do you think that makes me feel?" He gave her a peck on her wet cheek and left.
Olivia went into her apartment, closed the door, and sat on the floor with her back against the door. She started sobbing. She opened the little box Fitz gave her and saw her name engraved on a locket with a question saying, Livvie, can we commit to us? She then wiped her eyes saying to herself she was more than ready for that. She was determined to pursue whatever that was going on between them. Olivia thought of going after Fitz, but later decided tomorrow would be a better day to do so, because by then he'd be calm.
Meanwhile, Fitz called Cyrus and one of his friends Andrew, to join him for a drink. He was depressed and he didn't want to be alone. Fitz has never been drunk before, he decided today would be the perfect day for that.
Cyrus and Andrew joined him; they could see how depressed he was. They asked him what was going on. He refused to tell them, and kept on drinking. Andrew and Cyrus advised him to stop with the drinking but he wouldn't listen. He ended up drunk, and told them everything that transpired between him, Jake and Olivia. He was shouting and screaming for everyone to know how heartless Olivia was. They told him it was time for them to take him home. Fitz kept saying he wanted to talk to Olivia, to see her. They both refused knowing it was a bad idea at the moment. Fitz told them, if they didn't take him to Olivia, he was going to drive there himself. They came to a conclusion Andrew would take him home while Cyrus get Olivia for him, he then agreed.
Knock on Olivia's door, she opened and saw Cyrus standing outside her house, looking all tired and yawning. She checked the clock on the sidewall, and it was 2:30am. Olivia couldn't comprehend what Cyrus could possibly want at this time of the morning.
"Cyrus is anything the matter, what are you doing here at this time?" She asked, telling him to come in.
Cyrus entered and took a long breath, and then he said. "Is Fitz, he…"
Olivia held her stomach as it sang inside, she sat on a nearby chair, with fear on her face. Thinking the worst had happen. Breathing heavily she asked. "What's wrong with him? Please tell me he's…O.."
"Gee! Olivia calm down, he's fine; if you care this much, why did you kiss another guy?" immediately Cyrus said that, he regretted it. "Sorry I didn't mean that." he apologized to her.
Olivia led out a sigh of relief. "Is OK you don't need to be sorry, he kissed me, I should've pushed him away, but I didn't." she said regretfully.
"Sorry again, I don't want you to think you owe me an explanation. I'm here because of Fitz. You should go and see him. I've known him for twenty years now; he has never been drunk before, this is his first. Please I just need you to calm him down. I would've stayed with him, but I don't think I'm the one he needs right now. James will be worried sick by now."
"Let me just change, I will be with you." she went into her room, changed her nightgown and brushed her hair back.
Moments latter there were at Fitz's house. Andrew was still with Fitz, he opened the door for them, and Cyrus introduced the two. It was Olivia's first time in Fitz's house and she loved it the moment she stepped inside, saying to herself with a female touch it would be exquisite.
"Andrew, Olivia. Olivia, Andrew. How is he doing?" Cyrus introduced Andrew and Olivia then asked about Fitz.
Andrew didn't answer Cyrus because his attention was focus on the famous Olivia Pope. "Wow the famous Olivia Pope, finally a face to the name. What have you done to my boy?" Andrew extended his hand to Olivia. She greeted him shyly, not sure of the answer to give him.
"Olivia come with me let's see how he's doing." Cyrus called Olivia, taking her to Fitz's room, with Andrew following behind them.
They got to his room and saw Fitz lying across the bed on his stomach with his head hanging down.
"Hey Fitz, Olivia is here. Will you like to talk to her?" Cyrus tried to get Fitz's attention.
A very drunk and weak Fitz said. "No, what is she doing here I don't want to see her, tell her to go away."
Andrew chuckled and asked him. "Weren't you the one who wanted to see her like five minutes ago?"
Cyrus told Andrew to hush.
Olivia decided to chip in. "You guys shouldn't worry. I will take it from here, you guys can go home. I promise to take care of him" she assured Cyrus.
Cyrus and Andrew left the room. Olivia could hear them talking outside of Fitz's room. Andrew was asking Cyrus whether it was a good idea to leave them alone together. Cyrus told Andrew he should trust him. "It would be good for them." Olivia smiled at Cyrus respond and went beside Fitz, stroking his hair, telling him everything was going to be fine.
Fitz shifted away from her touch "I said I don't want to see you, go away".
"I know, when you get better I will, but for now I'm your doctor. Just like when I didn't want you to be my doctor, remember?" Olivia said, trying to help him up.
"I don't remember anything, and stop touching me." Fitz was struggling to stand up, very drunk and very weak when he threw up on himself. Olivia asked him not to move, that she was going to do the cleaning.
"Let me help you to the bathroom, but I have to take off your clothe first." Olivia took off his clothe and left him with his boxer short. Fitz was laying on the bed all vulnerable and stuff, with his manhood clearly visible from his boxer. Olivia was just staring at his body; admiring God's creation. Fitz looked so beautiful and very edible, vulnerable. Olivia thought of what she could do to his body right now and get away with. Before she realized, she was all moist and hot. She climbed on the bed next to Fitz, to carry out her mission; she ran her hand through his hairy chest, down to his boxer short and rested on his member, stroking him gently, touching her breast in the process. She immediately felt Fitz's reaction to her touch and came back to her senses, thinking about her action. Gee Olivia, do you know what you're doing is rape? Are you seriously taking advantage of a drunken man? You belong behind bars. You should be in jail for your action right now. She had to calm herself and help Fitz to the bathroom. They were under the shower together, with her helping him for support. She filled the bathtub and then helped him inside. He was there for some time. Olivia left him and went to his room, checking his drawers for a change of sheet. She saw it and replaced the one Fitz puked on. Olivia also saw Fitz's T-shirt that would look nice on her and decided she was going to take it to bed.
Olivia went back into the bathroom and saw Fitz butt naked, trying to get his towel. Since she already tried to take advantage of him before, she was contemplating whether to go in and help him or to turn away. She decided on the former.
"Here, let me help you." Olivia gave the towel to him. She then turned to walk away. Fitz grabbed her hand roughly and drew her closer to kiss her.
"I know you stroked me while I was lying on my bed. How about we continue what you started." Fitz said, manhandling Olivia, grabbing her ass roughly.
Olivia was struggling to get loose from his grip. "Fitz, you are drunk please let go, you're hurting me."Olivia cried out.
Fitz could feel the pain in her voice, he then let go immediately and said he was sorry with remorse in his voice.
Olivia told him it was OK, he should go to bed. Fitz went directly to bed after that and slept like a baby. Olivia was dying to sleep next to him, to cuddle up with him. But knowing she couldn't trust herself or him, she decided to sleep on the sofa even though there was a guest room.
In the morning Olivia went to check on Fitz. He was already up, taking some pain killers; Fitz turned around and saw her walking toward him with his T-shirt, and said "The shirt look nice on you," He then remembered manhandling her roughly. He felt very ashamed and looked away from her with a frown on his face.
"How are you feeling?" Olivia asked, trying her best to ignore the frown on his face.
"I'm OK thank you. You shouldn't have stayed. You can go now" Fitz said, not looking at her.
Olivia stopped halfway. "Fine, if that's what you want. I need to change from this." She turned with her head down, fighting back tears.
Fitz said something that Olivia didn't get him. She turned around quickly to his direction, and asked Fitz what he said with such gentle voice that melted Fitz's heart.
Olivia said. "What? Please can you say that again? I didn't get you."
Fitz, not having the stamina to look her in the face, he apologized. "I'm deeply sorry and embarrassed for my behavior, handling you roughly in the bathroom, and me getting drunk, is not gentleman-like"
"I should be the one to apologies, because it was my fault, entirely." Olivia's eyes were filled with tears. She continued, "Please can we sit down and just talk it out, because…because…" she could not finish her sentence because the tears kept falling.
Fitz quickly closed the gap between them and hugged her. He couldn't stand seeing her cry "Is fine, stop crying. Please don't cry." Olivia got lost in his embraced.
After she was calm, Fitz gentle pulled away and wiped her tears, saying "why don't we go to the kitchen and talk while I prepare us breakfast. I'm still having a bad hangover; this is why I hate drinking."
With a smile on Olivia's face, she asked "Can you cook?"
"Lady, there's a lot of things you don't know about me" he led her into the kitchen and gave her a stool. He added "watch and learn. I don't mean to brag but sometimes bragging is all I can do"
"I will have to see before I believe." Olivia said smiling with him.
She saw the earlier frown, reemerged on Fitz face. "What's the matter did I say something wrong?" Olivia asked.
"Can you tell me about Jake?" he asked, taking eggs from the refrigerator.
"Oh that. He is the only guy I've ever dated, but I'm over him. He thinks because he made me a woman, I'm forever his" Olivia replied.
"How old were you?" Fitz asked
"I think twenty one, twenty two, I was naive and stupid" Olivia answered regretfully.
"And you never dated anyone after?" Not waiting for her to answer, Fitz continued. "Are you sure you're not still in love with him? You might thing you are over him, but maybe he's the reason you're not interested in anyone."
Olivia was more than hurts from Fitz words. His words were like an arrow to her soul. It was painful for her to hear. Why should he assumed something like that, can't he see I'm in love with him. Olivia thought. Wait, she said to herself. Am I in love with him? She reminiscence everything that has transpired between them, from their first encounter at the hotel, her sacking him out of her hotel room, Fitz taking care of her when she was at the hospital, and not long ago, she taking care of him.
The tears came falling down like rain on her face. Olivia just came to a conclusion she was deeply and far gone in love with Fitz, but he didn't believe she was over Jake. The thought of that made her angrier.
Fitz saw the tears and pain on Olivia's face. He thought of the day he saw her in her office crying, when he went to ask her whether she was pregnant. He dropped what he was holding and rushed to her side.
"Darling I'm sorry, please don't cry" he tried to hug her.
Olivia pushed him away."For your information I've been interested in other guys. They're either not available or acting as douche-bag just like you, if you can't believe I'm over him, fine, I don't care. Have a good day" she got up, walking toward the door with tears pouring down her cheeks. She stopped and turned to him. "In fact don't have a good day. Have a horrible day." She said through tears.
Fitz smiled at the way she said have a horrible day. "I now believe you, and I'm sorry about before." Fitz said still smiling.
"I don't care. The fact that I've never dated anyone after Jake will always mean I'm still in love with him. Why can't it be I don't like jumping from one guy to another?" I … I …..
Fitz kept smiling as Olivia tried to make a point. She stopped talking and asked him to stop smiling. "Why are you smiling? I'm serious. Stop smiling." Olivia cried.
Fitz said to her. "I love you. I'm madly in love with you." He walked up to her and kissed her.
Olivia couldn't protest any further. She melted in his kiss and embraced. She pulled back lightly and asked him. "Are you sure you are sober?"
"Yes I'm very sober. It feels so good telling you this. I love you. I've never said this to any woman. I love you with all my heart Olivia Pope" Fitz carried her and spun her around. Then he heard her saying…
"I love you too Fitz. You're the love of my life."
Fitz stopped spinning with her and said to her. "You didn't need to say that you know." Not wanting her to feel obligated to say it back.
"Oh yes I do. I fell in love with you the day I felt your seed inside of me at the hotel." Olivia said.
"Me too. It was magical" Fitz assured her.
Olivia looked into his eyes and could feel his love, and just like that she went out of control. Pulling his pajamas trouser down, going down on her knees. Fitz couldn't keep up with her. It was like she was on drugs or something. Fitz pulled her up. As he pulled her up, Olivia started taking off his shirt. Kissing his body, telling him she loved every part of him. It tickled a lot; Fitz couldn't stop laughing at this bold sight of her.
"Woman calm down. We have to eat breakfast. Aren't you hungry?"
"Yes I'm hungry but not with that kind of food. I want you right now, here in this kitchen." Olivia replied.
"Will I ever get enough of this you?" Fitz asked.
"Let's hope not" Olivia answered, nipping his earlobe.
"Wait, wait. I have to ask you something." Fitz held her a distance away from his body to see her face, smiling in the process. "Did you really stroke me while I was lying on my bed all vulnerable, or was I dreaming?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Olivia answered feeling a little embarrassed, closing the little space Fitz created between them to kiss his hairy chest.
Fitz noticed, she was embarrassed. Nevertheless, feeling egoistic to put her in such a state. He took advantage of her state. "Olivia, look at me." He held her in position again to see her face. "Did you try taking advantage of a drunken man?" He asked, laughing at her. Certain she did, but he wanted to hear her say it.
"I did no such thing. You were drunk. Your brain is making up stuff." She answered coyly.
"You see all of this?" Fitz asked, pointing at his body, rubbing his torso with his right hand, laughing in the process. "You're not getting any of this if you don't tell me the truth." Fitz teased Olivia. Putting on his game face.
"As if you're not dying to have me too" Olivia said. Knowing full well Fitz couldn't wait to jump her bones too.
All of a sudden, Olivia got interested to play the game Fitz was trying to play. She sat back on the stool and dared Fitz to refuse to make love to her. "I'm not telling you anything mister. Let's see how long you're going to last with that." Olivia dared him.
"Look at me this woman." Fitz said and continued. "OK. I was even about to prepare us breakfast. You sit there and be all horny while I prepare us breakfast. And after this breakfast, I have a football match to watch. Tell me the truth and all this chisel hard body will be all yours" Fitz teased her with a smirk on his face.
Olivia threw a smirk at him too. Standing her ground, not accepting she stroked him while he was drunk. She noticed how hard his dick was while kissing his body earlier. Knowing he won't last. And any second soon, Fitz would be all over her.
Fitz took off his pajamas and was completely naked, for Olivia to see how hard he was. Walking toward her like he has given up on the game, he brushed pass her and went to the fridge to get more eggs to prepare their breakfast.
Olivia couldn't believe her eyes. Fitz was completely naked, and solid as a rock, preparing them breakfast with no care in the world. The sight was exquisite. She was panting at how manly he looked.
"Are you OK there?" Fitz mocked her playfully.
Olivia saw the smirk on Fitz's face. Very aware he was winning the war but certainly not the battle. She left the kitchen to prepared for her comeback.
Moments later, Fitz called Olivia back into the kitchen, saying breakfast was ready. Olivia came back with her hair slightly wet and naked too. She saw the dining table all set for their breakfast. She took her time, removed their breakfast from the table, climbed on the table, and sat on it with her legs wide opened.
Fitz couldn't take his eyes off her, he was staring at her center, with mouth opened. Shocked at this beautiful bold sight of her.
"Do you want to eat egg and whatever that delicious stuff is, or do you want to eat this?" Olivia asked seductively, touching herself.
Fitz didn't need to be asked twice. He walked quickly toward her, to dive into her center. But in the process, he brushed his penis lightly on the stool Olivia was sitting on earlier.
Olivia laughed out loud, knowing the victory was hers. "ugh! dose that hurts?" She teased him.
Fitz held his penis to comfort it. And by doing so, he saw Olivia's reaction to his action. Fitz earlier smirk reemerged on his face. He started stroking himself in front of Olivia. Looking at Olivia's naked body for more inspiration, moaning in the process.
Olivia could feel her liquid oozing out from her body. She then surrendered. "Yes I did stroke you while you were drunk and vulnerable. You win. Please make love to me now."
