Fitz silently walked towards the Oval Office with both hands in his pockets. He had won a second term and he could hear people celebrating all around him. He wasn't sure if he should be happy or not. It was going to be another long four years. He sat down on his chair and absently looked outside of the window. Sometimes he wished that he could just escape out into the world and be free to be whoever and do whatever. A couple of minutes later, he heard someone knock on the door before they entered.
"Mr President?" Cyrus says.
"Where's Olivia?" He asked sadly.
Their phone call just before he went on stage seemed like a goodbye. Like there was a possibility that he would never get to hear or see her again. They both had said I love you and had their one minute moment.
"Olivia? I don't know, sir."
"Could you find out where she is... she should be here too."
"Of course, sir... and can I just say, congratulations - you deserve another four years in this place."
"Thank you, Cyrus." He said but sighed.
Cyrus left the room and Fitz just went back to staring outside. 'This place' was keeping him from the love of his life. 'This place' was keeping him from experiencing real happiness. Fitz took out his special phone for her and pressed call but all he got was voice mail. It was about an hour before someone came to get him so that he could address the nation on winning his second term as President. He probably looked sad but he tried his best to look happy and presentable.
"Good afternoon everyone..." He started.
After addressing the nation and taking in some questions from the press, he decided to take a walk in the rose garden. The place where he first declared his love to Olivia. Remembering the moment, he realised that it could have gone better and more romantic than both of them just arguing. It had now been several hours since he had talked to Olivia and it seemed like no one knew where she was. Maybe she left him again, he sadly thought. He didn't think that he could deal with another break up.
"Fitz?"
He suddenly turned around as he heard his name and there she was. She looked so beautiful but then he saw that she also looked a little sad. He practically ran over to her.
"Sweet baby, what's wrong?"
"My dad died." She sniffles.
Even though he hated her father and she probably did too. He was still her father and that meant something.
"What? I thought he was fine."
"He had a sudden heart attack. He was fine and then he just wasn't."
"Come here, baby, it's gonna be okay..."
He hugged her tightly as she nuzzled her face into his chest and she tried not to cry.
"Let's lay down in the residence." He said after a short while.
"Okay." She said without arguing.
They slowly walked hand in hand to the residence. They took a hidden route so that no one could see them. Hopefully, in the future, they would be seen for the world to see their love. They both slowly stripped down to minimum clothing and cuddled.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too."
"Congratulations by the way..."
"Thank you, baby."
"Four more years."
"I know."
"I can wait..."
"I thought you had left me again... no one could seem to find you."
"I'm here, Fitz, I'm here."
"I love you, Livvie."
"I love you too."
"Are you gonna be okay?" He asks after a while of silence.
"I will be." She slightly smiled.
"Can I get a congratulations kiss?" He smirks.
"Of course. Come here." She giggles.
He leaned in closer as their lips fused together and they kissed passionately for the first time in long a while.
"I'll always be here for you, Fitz." She said as they both looked deeply into each others eyes.
He happily sighed and nuzzled her neck. He hugged her tightly and inhaled her wonderful scent. His second term would be different, he promised to himself as he closed his eyes and they drifted off to sleep.
