Fitz fills with anger, as Cyrus' words seem to hang in the air. He says, "Cyrus, you can't be that big of an ass can you?" Cyrus replies "I'm sorry I….." He says trying to apologize; but again he's too late. Fitz leans forward obviously annoyed and angry with him. He says, "Beyond the devastation your failed plan, and loose lips could've had on Liv's, and I reputation, and business. What pisses me off most; is you put everything we have worked for at risk, and are still oblivious to what's happening here.

I trusted you. This level of betrayal and arrogance to boot; as if you've done nothing wrong, is unbelievable. Not to mention the disrespect you're showing for Liv; if I were of a different mindset, I would knock you on your ass. Luckily for you; I am erring on the side of being civilized. But the next time; I may not be so willing to contain myself."

He gets up and gets ready to walk out. Cyrus says, "Fitz wait. I know that I screwed up; sometimes I get nervous when I make a mistake, and I say the wrong things. I didn't mean to disrespect you and Liv." He takes a breath, and looks at Fitz, seeing the anger in his face; he continues, "look I know I'm sorry doesn't cover it. But what can I do to try to make it up to you two, and show you that I am a team player here?"

Fitz walks over to him and says, "You can make sure, you play your part in this plan, without letting on to Robert or anyone else what's going on. Cyrus replies, "I'm on it Fitz; don't worry." As he walks away; he says, "I'm not Cyrus; but if you don't come through; you should be worried. Have a good night, and let yourself out." He says, as he walks toward the bedroom, to check on Liv, and Cyrus walks out hurriedly.

Before Fitz goes into the bedroom; he remembers that her favorite dessert is bananas foster. So he calls room service, and orders dessert for both of them. About 10 minutes later, he opens the door, when he hears a knock. He is surprised the ice cream arrives in such a short amount of time; he carries it into the bedroom, and hears the water running, so he stops, and puts the treats in the mini fridge, in the corner of the bedroom.

Liv is standing in the bathroom; she decides to shower, to wash away her frustration; but she's still on the phone with Abby, as Fitz is heading in to check on her. She puts the phone down and hits the speaker button after starting the water. Abby says, "Hey before I let you go. I wanted to tell you I have all the rsvp's for the charity ball, and one came in yesterday from Matt."

Liv almost falls over. She says, "You mean he rsvp'd?" Abby responds, "Yes, he sent it in electronically yesterday Liv. What are you going to do?" Liv covers her mouth, she is in shock. How the hell is she going to get through this one? She wonders as she undresses, and twists her hair up, so it doesn't get wet. Obviously she can't go to the ball with him now. "Oh God I completely forgot about asking him to go with me. That was before Fitz and I admitted our feelings for each other Abby. I will have to call him, and let him know; but damn he's probably going anyway, he always goes. This is a total clusterfuck."

Abby laughs in agreement; but says, "You haven't talked to him since he came to Ellie's?" Liv replies, "No, I haven't returned any of his calls." Abby sighs and says, "Liv just call him, and tell him it's a wrap, and that he isn't your date for the ball. What can he do except be mad, and get over it. Don't let this situation with him; screw up you and Fitz. Just be honest with both of them, and you will be fine. If Fitz loves you, he will understand; he's going to be mad. But he will understand." Liv knows she's right and says, "You're right. I will take care of it." Abby replies, "Okay bye Liv." Liv replies, "Bye Abs, I will talk to you soon; thanks for listening." Abby replies, "You're welcome; good night." Liv responds, "Good night."

Liv is now in thought about what she is going to do about Matt, and whether she should tell Fitz, about him coming to Ellie's, as well as the ball situation now, or later. She turns to get into the shower, and sees Fitz standing in the door way. Until he speaks; she's unsure if he heard her conversation or not. But she gets confirmation of that not being the case; when he asks, "Is it safe to come in here?" She smiles and replies, "Yes, for you it's safe. Is Cyrus gone?"

He walks over to her, as he says, "Yes he is gone; but not before I had to help him understand how it's to his benefit this works out our way." She looks at him with some regret in her eyes, as she says, "I'm sorry I lost my temper; it was unnecessary. I didn't want you to see me that way." Fitz responds, "Liv people get angry, and if that is the worst that happens when you get angry then we are good. I will say; you took some verbal jabs at him that were funny as hell, but wrong. The comment about the late night meetings was over the top." He says smiling. She agrees with him; she did take it farther than she should've; she replies, "I will talk to him about it tomorrow. He deserves an apology." She says as she hugs him.

When the embrace breaks, he says, "So you're about to take a shower huh?" She replies, "Yes and I see you would like to join me." She says as she calls attention to his waiting erection. He smiles at her, as he removes his shirt, and she unbuckles his pants, and he removes them. She takes his hand, and leads him into the waiting steaming shower. As they step into the shower; they instantly become soaked; as the nozzles from all directions are firing, and stimulating their bodies.

She stands in front of the shower head; allowing the water to run down the front of her body. He embraces her from behind, holding her tight. She is melting into his strong arms; she feels like this is the safest place on earth. But she is plagued also by her thoughts of what to do, or how to handle Matt.
