Thank you guys so much for the reviews for chapter 43. I really appreciate it! Please read, review and Enjoy Chapter 44!

After I finally finished packing my suitcase, I plopped on the bed. I was tired and had a headache.

Feeling the bed shift woke me up. "Mmmm? Fitz…what is it? I'm exhausted and I have a headache," I whined sleepily. Fitz didn't answer my question. I continued to feel him make his way over to me, leaning over me in an attempt to kiss me.

"Did you know that making love cures headaches, Livvie?" his voice, a low seductive purr. I didn't say anything. Fitz pulled me toward him. He peppered the side of my neck with kisses.

I turned my face away from Fitz, and turned towards the pillow. I was trying my best to keep quiet, and play possum. I just needed a few moments of silence.

Fifteen minutes of total quiet and my headache didn't ease up. I couldn't take it anymore, the pounding sensation of my headache was too much to bear. I scooted over toward Fitz, and began to cuddle with him.

"How's your headache, is it any better?" he asked with a yawn. I'm guessing he just woke up from a cat nap. I shook my head in the negative, rubbing my temples.

There was no denying the devilish smirk on his face. "What do you want, Livvie?" he asked playing innocent. I didn't beg Fitz for sex. I didn't have to. However, since I felt my head was about to split open, I was willing to do anything. I needed relief from this torturous headache as soon as possible.

"I want you to make love to me, Fitz. Please? I need your tender loving care," I told him. I proceed to kiss him to get my point across. "Hmm, I suppose I could do something. I do love you, Sweet Baby," he said teasingly. "You better. No one can take care of me like you do," I said, just before giving him an eskimo kiss.

Three rounds and two hours of sleep later, my headache was gone. I am still snuggled in Fitz' embrace, my head on his chest. I kiss his neck. "I love you," I whispered softly. I felt his arms tighten around my middle. "I love you too, Sweet Baby," he whispered back before enveloping me in a kiss.


"Are you sure, you want to do this Livvie ?" Fitz looked at me, with an uncertain look on his face. "No, I'm not sure. But I do know that I have to do this. I have to confront Eli about what he and Maya did to me and my parents."

"That man has lied to you, your entire life, Olivia. How can you be sure that he is going to tell you the truth?" Fitz was concerned for my well being. I kissed him sweetly, hoping to erase his worries.

"Fitz, I love you. I appreciate your concern for me. I really do. But you don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself. I can hold my own with that man. I'll have Jack with me. I promise you, nothing is going to get out of hand," I tried to reassure him.

"I know you can take care of yourself, Sweet Baby, but you can never be too careful. Eli Pope is one unpredictable man. I just want you to be safe. In addition to Jack, I would like Tom to go with you," Fitz' tone brooked no room for argument.

"Fine, I'll agree to your terms. But I assure you, nothing is going to happen. I will be fine".

He kissed me. "Like I said, you can never be sure, just please do this for me Livvie?"

"Okay, but I'm telling you, I will be fine. You worry too much, Baby," I said.

"I always worry about you, especially when you can be in a potentially dangerous situation. I say, better be safe than sorry. I love you. If something were to happen to you, heads will roll," Fitz promised.

"I'll be fine," I said soothingly. I kissed him again. "I don't know how long it will take. But I will be back, I promise. I will tell you everything that happened, when I get back."

"Okay you win," Fitz relented. He kissed me three times. Then after the third kiss ended and he went in for the fourth kiss, I could feel my knees buckle and my heart pound in my ears.


His kisses always left me breathless and wanting more. A few moments passed, and I reluctantly broke the kiss. "Fitz, I really need to go. I need to get to the bottom of this," I said trying to get my thoughts together. I needed to be in the right frame of mind, when I confronted Eli.

"Okay, I'll let you go. But if you take too long, I'm calling in the national guard," Fitz told me.

"I won't let it get to that. I'll be back soon, Baby," I said giving him a quick kiss. I kiss Fitz again, as I mentally prepare myself for the impending verbal battle with Eli.

I left the White House Residence to go to Wonderland. I was ready, I wasn't going to back down. Eli Pope was going down once and for all.

That was chapter 44. What do you think? Feel free to tell me what you think in your reviews! Chapter 45 is coming soon. Until next time…Tay
