Well family here we go again I can't help myself. First let me say this story is not my own. It was inspired and pretty much written by none other than one of our own on the BOOK! Jessica Carrajola. She has so many great ideas for stories but does not write and asked me if I could bring this masterpiece to life. So I agreed after reading her idea for a good story. I fell in love the moment she presented this idea for a story to me. I must say you never know where you next inspiration may come from. Thank you Jessica aka Jess for allowing and choosing me to bring your idea to life. I pray I do it justice. I must note I know nothing about soccer in the professional sense but will do my best. Also to the person who originally reached out to me to write something for them and I rejected the idea…I soley apologize. I do not know who you are personally but I truly am sorry for telling you NO to writing for you. Please if you see this PM PLEASE reach out to me again and I will make this right with you. I truly did not know nor understood what a gift writing for others could be. Please know I truly am sorry for rejecting you and your idea for a story. I TRUELY AM SORRY TO THE POINT I PUT MYSELF ON BLAST FOR REJECTING YOUR IDEA ONLY TO TURN AROUND AND LOOK OUT FOR SOMEONE I WAS FAMILURE WITH! I SERIOUSLY APOLOGIZE! IF YOU STILL DESIRE FOR ME TO WRITE A STORY BASED ON YOUR IDEAS I HUMBLING ACCEPT YOUR REQUEST. Now to all my readers and followers let's get this story started!
HAPPY READING!
The energy in the stadium is high, the crowd is loud as Fitz does a round house kick to the ball aiming just beyond the right corner of the goal net opposite the goalie and scores the winning shot causing the people in the stadium to go wild and make their way to the field in celebration of The Golden Kings win of the season. The team is lifted from the ground and carried across the field before returning to the tunnels leading to the locker room as the celebration continues among the players.
Fitzgerald Grant a professional soccer player and team captain of the number one soccer team The Golden Kings. Soccer was his life and his main focus leaving little to no room for relationships or family except his parents of course. An only child who grew up with money and a trust fund he wanted and made a name for himself and his love of soccer was his dream job so with the help and approval of his parents Fitzgerald Grant II and Anna Marie Grant he brought his dream to fruition.
Fitz was born too late bloomers his parents were both in their mid-40's when Anna found out she was pregnant. She and Gerry had all but given up on having children after the doctor's informed Anna that she may never have children because of long term female problems that started when she was very young as well as two miscarriages in her early 30's. So she and Gerry focused on enjoying their life together instead when almost 5 years later Fitzgerald Grant III was born. With the pregnancy being very high risk Anna was forced to be on bedrest for 2 months before delivery followed by a hysterectomy due to severe bleeding. Now that Fitz is turning 30 soon and his parents are in their mid-60's Fitz is beginning to long for more in his life. His parents continuously talked about wanting grandchildren before they were too old to enjoy them.
The problem with that was every woman Fitz dated was gold diggers and used him for fame, gifts, money, and attention never really taking time to get to know him as a man. This over the years gave Fitz a complex about women by creating trust issues when it came to relationships. One woman in particular Angela Webster completely broke his heart. Angela 5 years older than Fitz was the first woman Fitz had strong feelings for and wanted to settle down with. But she chose her career over their relationship as FBI director the United States of America and felt that being in an interracial relationship would not look good. This sent Fitz down a spiral for two years closing himself off too relationships and just dating model type women whom he only used for sex and distractions.
Now that the season was over and the final game had been won he collects yet again another trophy and meets his parents outside after his short tv interview. "Mom dad thanks for coming. I really love seeing you guys in the stands."
"Oh Fitz honey you know we support you in every way we can." Anna shares "Plus you're our son and until you give us some grandbabies we have nothing but time on our hands." His father adds with a chuckle "I'm working on it dad. I really am."
His father nods and they head off to grab a bite to eat. After sitting down and ordering their food Anna notices Fitz is a bit quiet. "Fitz honey is everything okay? You seem a bit quiet." He looks up at his mother with his beautiful blue eyes that matches his father and smiles. "Yeah I'm okay. I've just been thinking a lot about starting a family but my choices are slim, I haven't found someone who doesn't want me for my money or fame…you know for me. I want so bad to give you guys a grandchild but I can't just have a baby with just anyone. You guys are getting older and so am I so I was thinking…" He pauses and watches for his parent's reaction and sees they are both listening intensely "I was thinking about using a surrogate. I know it's not the way most people have children but I really think this is something I want."
Both of his parents take in what he said but don't immediately comment. Gerry leans back in his seat tilting his head as he looks at his son. Anna covers her mouth with her hands in attempt to hide the smile on her face before reaching over and grabbing Gerry's hand as she reads her husband's expression. She knows he's speechless at their son's words. "You would really do that for us son?" Gerry questions with teary eyes
Fitz smiles "Yes dad, I would and I am. It's not the traditional way but I would love to have a child and children even. Women do it all the time. With both of your help and support I'm sure we can raise him or her into someone great. We are a small family and the amount of love you two have for me has taught me to not be selfish. Lately I have been feeling the urge to become a father. I've haven't found the love of my life yet but that shouldn't stop me from fore filling my other dreams…right?"
"Right!" Both parents quickly agree
They hold hands silently talking to one another when Gerry speaks again "Fitz your grandfather was not much of a family man. His main focus was making money with his great business sense and as I told you he and I weren't close but he built an empire and left it all to me I guess as his way of saying he loved me. I've always desired to have a large family it just didn't work out for me but god gave us you and we support you in whatever you decide to do. Isn't that right Anna?"
"Yes dear and since my parent's adopted me and left me such a nice egg basket of wealth I have learned that there is more to life than money. Family is the most important thing to me and however you want to expand our family I'm all for."
When Fitz told his parents at age 5 that he wanted to play soccer they immediately signed him up wanting Fitz to be as normal as possible and not some spoiled entitled brat as he grew up. They made Fitz earn his allowance his right to do special things, or even buy something he saw and wanted. They wanted him to be well rounded and hard- working; never taking advantage of his privilege being born to family with money.
"Okay I will talk with my PR manager Cyrus and have him set things up. Just to keep things private and report back to you guys as things progress."
They continue their meals and conversation about the future.
…..
"Russell stop I told you I'm not ready to go there yet." Liv aggressively says as she pushes her boyfriend of 6 months Russell Thompson away from her. "Oh come on Liv when are we going to have sex? You're the only 24 year old virgin I know..." He pauses "Are you sure you're not a lesbian? Because this waiting is getting old I respected it at first but damn it been six months. I had more sex before I met you and gave all that up for you."
"Well I'm not ready and if you need it that bad I'm sure there's plenty skanks on the campus willing and waiting as you always say."
He walks towards her as she stands up next to her bed in her dorm room "I just be saying that to test you." Russell says changing his tone seeing that Liv is really agitated with him "You know I only have eyes for you Liv, but a man has needs baby. I can't keep beating my meat day in and day out."
"I'm just not ready Russell." Liv softly says dropping her head in guilt as he takes her into a hug "Okay baby I can wait, but can you at least jack me off."
"Russell!" Liv screeches pulling back from his embrace looking at him with disbelief "I'm not ready to see what your dick looks like yet. All that does is manipulate the situation and creates more problems. Please stop pressuring me. I want to be married when I have my first experience. We've discussed this and you were okay with it before we started dating. You said you respected me for wanting to wait till marriage, was that all a lie to get in my panties?"
This causes Russell to frown. Nothing he does seems to work. Liv continues to hold true to her I want to be married my first time speech. "Whatever Liv, you always trying to make me feel bad for being attracted to you sexually, look I have class so I'll call you later." He leaves slamming the dorm door loudly never answering her question
Liv slumps down on her bed with feelings of guilt. She really liked Russell but sex was not on her agenda. She sometimes questioned why she was even dating him. He could be such a dick at times when he didn't get his way. Always indirectly putting her down and pushing guilt off onto her because even though they do a lot of kissing and groping she's just not intimately attracted to him yet. Maybe with time she will be but currently there's no spark or desire to have sex not just with him but with anyone. Maybe there's something wrong with her she thinks. Should she feel the desire to have sex at her age? She knows she gets wet when she watches love scenes on her favorite shows but is that normal? Why didn't Russell make her feel this way when they make out?
She now begins to feel anxious wishing her best friend Abby was there but she wasn't so instead she calls her mother Candace Maya Pope. Candace was a Real Estate Broker and her father a Circuit Court Judge. Liv and her parents were close and she spoke with them often and openly. Her father Norman Elijah Pope was a hard working loving man with a gentle soul. Always soft spoken but his presence demanded the room whenever he entered. Her mother was personable and smart as a whip. People easily drew to her and bought whatever she was selling. Not to mention she was stunningly beautiful just like her daughter.
"Hi mom."
"Hi Libby… Norman Libby's on the phone." She yells out
Norman yells to tell her hello and that he's in the bathroom both women laugh "I can talk to dad later mom let him finish his business. I actually called to speak with you. Do you have a minute?"
Candace takes a seat on the sofa "Sure baby I always have time for you talk to me. Tell mommy what going on."
Liv takes a deep breath then releases it with a sigh "Mom I think something is wrong with me."
A frown appears on Candace's face "Wrong with you how?" Her concern comes through the phone
"Is it normal to not fell turned on by your boyfriend even when making out? Like when I'm with Russell I don't get those feelings you and I always talk about."
"Nothing… Libby?"
"Nothing mom, I feel more when watching romance on television or reading a book with romantic scenes but nothing with Russell and mom we do a lot of making out."
"Have you had sex yet?" Candace asks bluntly
"No mom. I'm still a pure flower."
"And he don't make you feel nothing?"
"Nope." Liv states while shaking her head from side to side as if her mother can see her "Do you think I need to see a doctor. Is this normal?"
"Well from my experience Libby it sounds like you're just not attracted to the man sexually but I know you so go ahead and make the appointment to get yourself checked out for you own peace of mind."
"I really like Russell I'm just not ready for sex and he's is. I used the excuse I'm waiting for marriage which is not a bad thing but I think I want to test out the man I might marry to be sure we are compatible in that department before I promise to spend the rest of my life with him. You said sex is an important aspect in a marriage."
"Yes Libby it is. People get married and find out that the sex is horrible only after they've tied the knot and it causes a great deal of issues sometimes where as some couples can't overcome and end up divorced or unhappily married. I just wanted to be honest with you about everything so you can make up your own mind and not go into things deceiving yourself."
"Thanks mom. I think I will make an appointment you do know me well. Have you spoken with Harrison?"
Harrison Pope was Olivia's older brother by two years a successful business owner, husband and father to two year old twin boys Harrison Jr and Henry aka Harry and H. for short. Harrison owned several Jewelry stores. He loved flashy things and nice clothes and had an eye for designing things. With the help and encouragement of his parents Harrison designed his first piece of jewelry for his parents on their 25th anniversary for each of them. They loved it so much after showing it off to people in there circle and getting positive feedback Harrison changed his major to Business and Design he made his love for flashy a business adventure and turned it into a success.
His wife Quinn Pope aka Quinn Perkins was CFO of a security company owned by her adopted bother Huckford Perkins aka Huck who was a master with surveillance and technology and his wife Kimberly aka Kim Perkins. Huck and Kim were the proud parents of a handsome 4 year old son named Javier Perkins and they all were the love that kept Liv stable. "Yes I spoke with him yesterday. He's bringing the family by for dinner Sunday maybe you should come home this weekend and join us." Candace shares
"Okay mom I will try. I think I need some family time anyway plus I need to call for an appointment with my OBGYN here, I will let you know by Saturday if I'm coming home. Love you mom and tell dad I love him too." Liv states as she hears her father yell "Candace dear can you bring me the Fra breeze I'm about to fall out in here." Both women laugh again
"Okay Libby let me go take care of your father. I love you too dear. Bye."
"Bye mom."
Liv calls and schedules her appointment for Tuesday which was two days away.
….
The following day Fitz meets with Cyrus Beene is PR manager with all things Fitz. Fitz offers Cyrus something to eat or drink and he declines. "What's this about Fitz you got me up early in the morning when I swore we were on vacation now that the season is over?"
Fitz pours himself a glass of scotch and takes a seat across from Cyrus. "I want to hire a surrogate to have my child."
Cyrus slowly sits forward in his seat and stares at Fitz. "Okaaaay tell me more." He drags out as he gets up and pours himself a drink deciding this is something he may indeed need a drink for
"Look my parents are getting older and I don't trust these women but I want a child. I haven't met anyone that I can call the love of my life so, I want to put a smile on my parents face as well as mines. Lately I've been feeling a desire to become a father but without the grief and greed that comes with women who doesn't love me for me."
"Wow…okay I know some great reproductive specialist that I can send you too but first I have to find a surrogate."
"Yes she has to be willing to sign away her rights and a NDA has to be put into place as well. I don't want her coming back some day talking about she want to see the baby or asking for more money. Make sure she smart, beautiful and is sure she wants to do this Cyrus before you even bring her to meet me. I will pay two million and all medical expenses. One million after the procedure and confirmed pregnancy and another million after the child is born and rights have been severed."
"Understood I'll get started right away." Cyrus stands to leave thinking to himself who the fuck am I your goffer boy? This shit has to stop. He doesn't pay me enough for this.
"Thanks Cy." Fitz states walking him to the door
Cyrus true to his word begins working on Fitz request right away. With the kind of money Fitz has and is offering it didn't take long to get the ball rolling. The reproductive specialist Dr. Elizabeth North who specialized in every aspect of reproduction and catered to the wealthy and those with the best insurance coverage was able to give him a list of name of potential women. One woman stood out to him. She was a college student one year from graduation having financial problems. She was from South Carolina, 27 years old Ivy League student who missed a year for financial reasons but was now back but owed a great deal for tuition for her law degree. He decided to give her a call but only got her voicemail. So he chose two more possible candidates and set up a meet.
His frustration begins to set in on how could something so simple be this difficult being a man used to making a few phone calls and things were done quickly. His phone rings just as he's finishing up with the second interview. He was glad for the interruption as he recognized the number as his god daughter Melody Sinclair aka Mellie and gets and idea in his head. She always had this thing for Fitz but he never reciprocated nor paid her a moment of attention being Cyrus never introduced the two and he knew secretly she resented Fitz never given her a second thought nor a moment of recognition knowing Cyrus never told him who she was. His rejection and cocky attitude was a sore spot for them both. Cyrus secretly envied Fitz and his rich lifestyle. Fitz never listened to him and treated him like an employee instead of someone who has his best interest at heart and has been around the block and is always there to clean up his messes. Fitz paid him a hefty salary and even adds bonus's when he's asked to do things outside of his duties like this request to find a surrogate. This happens without Cyrus having to ask for it or mention it. It just shows up in his account. But Cyrus still wasn't grateful or satisfied.
"Mellie dear, hold on one moment." He dismisses the second woman and goes back to his phone call. "Okay I'm back, where are you right now?"
"I'm actually on the side of the road my car broke down."
"Ah I see, well I have something that could change that greatly. Send me the information where you are and I'll be right there."
Cyrus meets up with Mellie and have her car towed to the mechanic as he explains his plan to kill two birds with on stone. "I know a way to get you and Fitz together."
"Stop playing daddy Cy. You know Fitz doesn't like me in that way."
"What would you say to having a baby with him?"
"What?" She looks on in confusion "I…I don't understand."
Cyrus flutters around "Fitz wants a surrogate to have his child. He's willing to pay $20,000 to whomever I find willing to do it. I can have the contract revised with a clause that states you can change your mind about giving up your rights at any-time of course he won't know that. We can split the money and you get to keep the baby or not but still be tied to Fitz. With a child involved Fitz is tied to you forever." Cyrus shares clearly lying about the amount Fitz is paying to have the process done.
"But he's not attracted to me daddy Cy. He never even said hi to me or paid me much mind when I did cross his path."
"Well I'm not attracted to Michael either but because of Ella we make it work besides as you said he wouldn't recognize you from Adam."
"If this works daddy Cy you can keep the money because Fitz has plenty."
"So you're in?"
"Yes. I'm in this will be great it's a win win for me. He will have no choice but to allow me in his life and fall in love with me while I live like the rich and famous." This causes Cyrus to chuckle
Cyrus contacted Dr. North and explained that he had someone for the procedure so they set up the exam after releasing Mellie's medical records to her. He then contacted Fitz and let him know it was a go and he would need to report to the medical facility on Tuesday for the procedure before 4pm which is when the office closed.
Fitz was so excited that he didn't inquire about meeting the woman. He trusted Cyrus with everything. He later thought about it but brushed it off thinking Cyrus would handle everything and he would meet the woman the day of the appointment even though he had no clue what it detailed. The thought of doing something for his parents that they greatly wanted and needed brought him so much joy. He decided to just stay in and not go out and enjoy his win this time around and save his energy so when he did give up his sperm it would be potent and built up leaving no room for questions of his swimmers.
…
TUESDAY….
Liv walks into her OB appointment and checks in. Taking a seat she waits for her name to be called when I tall handsome man walks in. The first thing she notices about his is his height then his smile and finally his blue stunning eyes that shows off his handsome face just before his places a cap over his head dropping to a downward position as to hid his face. So Olivia looks him over and sees his fit build along with his swagger like walk. She finds herself drawn to him and can't take her eyes off of him due to the slight tightening in her gut.
Fitz noticed Olivia the moment he walked in and a shiver went through him so he quickly placed his baseball cap on his head to hide his face for one as to not be recognized and two so that the beautiful women in the waiting room would not see him checking her out as he watched her walk back to her seat and sit down. She was beautiful not just that… she was stunning. He had an immediate attraction to her that even he did not understand. Without saying a word his placed his ID on the clipboard as instructed by Cyrus and handed it to the receptionist. She scanned it and thanked him without mentioning his name and asked him to have a seat explaining someone would be with him shortly.
With this being a place that catered to the Elite security was at the door and the first and last initials of the person coming were given as identification. This was required before entry was allowed. Security was to be given the initials and time of appointment before they would be allowed inside. Fitz knowing this still did not want to take any chances with his identity covered his face. After seeing that the lobby was empty except for him and the beautiful woman he decided to sit across from her in hopes to talking to her.
He quickly notices her drop her eyes after checking him out and smirks to himself and takes his seat. His nerves are on edge. This has never happened before. Did this beautiful woman make him nervous? Wow was she beautiful. Fitz wanted to get to know her. He wanted to introduce himself. How would he do that…she made him nervous? This was something he was not familiar with. He was confident in his interest and approach to women. Why was this different? Why was approaching her different? He needed to find out. He needed to know what was so intriguing about this beauty. Was she interested or curious about him as well? He saw her checking him out from the moment he walked in the door. So he makes up his mind and decides to say something to her.
"Excuse me do you have a pen?" He asks thinking it's worked in the past why not now
Olivia looks up after his voice awakens something inside of her. Could this be an awakened desire? "Oh sure." She answers while reaching inside of her purse digging out a pen handing it to him when an even deeper awakening happens from within her womb…sexual attraction once their hands touch. Can this really be happening? She questions herself from within. Is this what desire feels like? She crossed her legs as to tame the sudden tingle deep between her legs above her thighs in the center of her unbroken garden of purity as Fitz suddenly becomes stuck in time unable to move.
