He waits for a few minutes, but when he sees the conversation is ongoing, he decides to leave to get ready to meet Liv. But, as he makes it out of the doors he hears her call him again. He stops and turns to face her. She hurriedly walks up to him as she says, "You are deceptively fast my friend." He smiles as he says, "I guess. What's up? Did you need something?"

With some people walking by to exit the gym, they step around the corner to be out of the way. And, she says, "You texted me remember? I forgot to hit you back because I've been so busy. My bad."

While sipping his drink he nods as he replies, "That's right. I did text you." She quickly interjects, "Were you calling to ask me out?" Deciding to just come out with it. Fitz drops the bomb as he responds, "Actually I wanted to talk to you because I've noticed your innuendos and sly comments lately." She grins at him as she moves closer, saying, "Well it's about time. I didn't know what more I needed to do to get your attention."

Feeling like she was way too close for comfort, he steps back a bit as she replies, "Of course your advances got my attention; you're beautiful, talented and a really cool person."

She sinfully grins as she chimes in, "I agree, so why are we still standing here talking? I have an empty apartment we can continue this conversation, and more in. Oh, you can check out my new 4k TV, all the guys raved about it when they came to watch the game the other night."

Although he's heard how sweet the 4k's televisions look. He can't help but realize going to her apartment isn't the smartest idea. She clearly has other plans he doesn't want any parts of.

Seeing him in thought she decides to take the lead, as she seductively grabs his free hand, but he pulls his hand away as he blurts out, "I'm not romantically interested in you, Nyemah."

As she turns toward him, she gives him a look that he can only describe as what offended, mixed with pissed off looks like. He didn't want to be so blunt. But she didn't give him much of a choice.

It's clear by the shift in her demeanor, she's highly irritated with him. Seeing the full development of what's likely to happen next, and wanting to avoid it. He attempts to step around her to leave, as he says, "I have to go." She isn't willing to let things end so easily though, as she asks, "What's up with you? Why do you keep ignoring me?"

He's confused by her question, since he just told her the deal. It's like she didn't hear him, so if anyone's ignoring anybody it's her. So he responds, I don't know what's up with you. But, I just told you I'm not ignoring you. I see you. I'm just not romantically interested in you."

Surprisingly, his response doesn't disturb her flow, despite its straightforwardness, as she matches forthright tenor by asking, "Who said anything about romance? Fitz, I just want to fuck." Her reply causes him to step back as he asks, "Aren't you and Rob supposed to be together?" She nods as she steps closer to him as she asks, "Why? Are you going to tell him or something?"

Annoyed by her insistence he replies, "Is that what you want? For me to tell him about this?" His tone is steady and unrelenting. It's then she realizes he's not taking the bait. He notices as her facial expression changes from that of attempted seduction, to anger. As she says, "You know what. Fuck you. And guys like you who are intimidated by strong women like me. You think you can judge me or shame me for knowing what I want, and not being afraid to say it. But you can't!"

He's beyond perplexed in this moment, and decides this is his chance to escape this madness. He wants to simply say, "Yeah, you're fucking batshit." But instead he replies, "You can try to make this about whatever you like. Just do me a favor and leave me the fuck out if it whatever you decide; because I'm not entertaining your crazy! Before she can respond he's halfway down the hall, and they're no longer alone in the hallway. So, she lets him go. But thinks to herself, this isn't over. Not by a long shot.

When he finally reaches his apartment he's in disbelief. He can't wrap his head around what just happened. And, he has limited time to figure it out due to Olivia sure to be on her way soon. Still flabbergasted, he heads to the shower to get ready, knowing she's not going to believe the story he has for her. But also not necessarily wanting this bullshit to ruin their plans. The last thing he wants is to have anything take center stage over their time together.

Meanwhile, Olivia is sitting across the desk of Cyrus Bean, her law professor and mentor, who has been instrumental in helping her while she's been in law school. She's touted as his smartest pupil and she appreciates him always working to challenge her to be her best.

As he finishes looking over the last paragraph of the last page of the document, he says, "Yes. Everything looks good now Liv." She nods as she replies, "Great Cy. I'm glad they agreed to the revisions." He nods as he says, "Me too. There was no way I was going to encourage you to sign the original document.

There were zero protections in it for your privacy, meaning he could blab to the world about you. While you'd be pressed to barely be able to utter his name, or acknowledge you were engaged at any point without being sued civilly. Only a fool would agree to that, especially since I don't trust that punk as far as I could throw him. And, with my bad back, that isn't far."

They chuckle together as she says, "I hear you. Thanks for catching that. I owe you one." He smiles as he says, "Nonsense. You don't owe me anything. Here's a pen, just kindly place your John Hancock here, so we can get you on your way my lady." She grins as she takes the pen and signs her name gleefully.

After signing, she says, "There you go." He takes the form from her as he replies, "Thank you much. Here is your copy of the agreement, and I will send this one over to Barron's attorney's office today by messenger. They wanted it before the weekend."

She nods as she takes a breath and says, "Sounds like a plan. Now I guess he and Jasmine can prepare for their debut at the gala this weekend." He sees the expression on her face and says, "You know. I thought maybe you'd be more upset about this thing with Jasmine, or even how the situation unfolded with him. But, I'm glad to see just the opposite. You look refreshed and relieved."

She smiles as she replies, "I am Cy. It's been a long road and I'm happy to be done. I don't have a reason to be upset anymore concerning him. She will discover what I already know, which is all that glitters isn't gold." He nods in agreement as he says, "That's understandable given all you've been through. Speaking to your parents last night, I think we're all relieved this is over." She grins as she replies, "Yes. I agree with you there. Did my parents tell you about their RV road trip plans?"

He chuckles as he says, "Yes. Your mom seems to be on board with it. That shocked me." She laughs as she replies, "Me too. But I think she's just being supportive. Dad's been kind of bummed since retiring, and the idea of taking this trip has given him some much needed pep in his step."

Cyrus understands her point, as he responds, "That makes total sense Liv. By all accounts the trip actually sounds interesting. I'm not a sports person of course, but even I'd be interested in going to the various professional and college football stadiums across the country."

Agreeing with him, she says, "I must admit it does sound intriguing. I'm just glad my aunt Beverly and Uncle Brian are going with them, so they aren't alone too long together. I can only imagine how they'd drive each other crazy being alone that long."

He has to agree with her, cabin fever is real and can be an issue on road trips. He says, "That's a brilliant point. I'm betting your mom came up with that idea." She nods as she replies, "Of course she did. She knows herself, and she knows him too. Their laugh in concert cleanses them both, as they reflect on the craziness that is her parents.
