Fitz couldn't help but smile as he drove home. He was still feeling high from meeting Olivia Pope. Of course he knew that Mr Pope had a daughter but never did he think that she would be so mesmerising. As soon as she opened the front door, he looked at her and he was gone. He really surprised himself as he was usually a shy guy and only had a few girlfriends in the past. Usually, they weren't serious and often ended because he was always busy with working. As he arrived home and entered his apartment, he was greeted by his Maltese puppy, Milo. His apartment was nice and cosy but it also had that masculine vibe.
"Hey, buddy. Guess what... I met a beautiful woman today." He said as he played with Milo. Milo barked as if he was talking back.
'I wonder if she will call or text me like she said she would. I don't want to crowd her considering what happened at the house.' He thought. He just couldn't help himself around her. He hoped that he didn't come across as a creepy older guy. He was definitely going to need a quick cold shower tonight.

Meanwhile back at the Pope household. Elijah and Maya were cleaning up after the dinner.
"Did you like Fitzgerald?" Elijah asks Maya.
"He seems great, Eli." She replies.
"Yeah, I'm so glad that Cyrus was able to find someone like him and hire him just in time. He was the only person who eventually closed the Smith deal."
"Really? No wonder you invited him over for dinner. You almost wanted to scrap that deal."
"Yeah, I told him that maybe one day, he could run this or his very own company if he worked hard enough."
"I guess it helps that he's also young and handsome." Maya chuckles.
"Don't get me started on that. I've seen how some of the younger women employees seem to fawn all over him." Elijah laughs.
"Someone seems jealous." Maya smirks.
"Never." They both laugh as they continued to tidy up.

At the same time, Olivia was in her room just lying on her bed and staring at the ceiling.
'Do I text him? Do I call him? Now or later?' She wondered.
She eventually decided to waste some time by looking at her social media pages. 2 hours seemed to pass by and it was almost 11 pm. Just as she was about to text him, her parents peek into her room.
"Goodnight, Liv." They say.
"Goodnight." She smiles as they close her bedroom door.
'I guess I should text him now.' She thought.
'Hi.' She texts.
'Hi.' He replies back almost immediately.
'Are you going to sleep?' She asks.
'No, what about you?'
'No, not yet.'
'Do you wanna facetime or something?' He asks.
'Sure.' She replies with a smiley face.
He calls her and she quickly answers. His face pops up on the screen, it looked like he was sitting on his bed. They stare at each other for a short while, suddenly both becoming shy.
"How are you?"
"I'm great. What about you?" He smiles.
"I'm good…"
"Liv…"
"Fitz…"
"Sorry, you talk." Fitz chuckles.
"No, it's okay, you go first." She chuckles too.
"I just wanted to say sorry if I came on too strong. I don't know what came over me." He sighs.
"Fitz… it's okay, I didn't mind." She giggles.
Out of nowhere, Milo decides to jump onto Fitz and bark at the phone but he eventually settles down as Fitz strokes his fur.
"Awww, who's this cutie?"
"You're on about me, right?" Fitz winks.
"Hmm, I guess you're cute too." She laughs.
"This is Milo, I just recently got him."
"Hi, Milo." Olivia giggles.
Milo barks back. Fitz can't help but stare at her and fall in love with her laugh.
"Fitz… hellooo?"
"Sorry…" He chuckles.
"Are you okay?" She asks concerned.
"I'm fine… I just can't help but be mesmerised by you."
Olivia doesn't know what to say as she is speechless.
"Go on a date with me?"
"I'd love to… but what about my father, he's your boss."
"Would he have a problem with us being together?"
"I honestly don't know but he seems to really like you. I think he may have a problem at first but then he'll eventually get used to the idea."
"What about your mother?"
"Hmm, I think she'll be okay… hopefully anyway."
"I hope so, I really like you, Olivia."
"I really like you, too."
"So, about that date?" He winks.
"What are you thinking?" She laughs.
"How about you come over tomorrow afternoon and I'll cook something and you can meet Milo, too."
"... Okay." She grins.
"Okay, it's a date." He grins too.
"It's a date." She says but yawns.
"I guess I should let you go."
"Yeah." She yawns again.
"Goodnight, Liv." He chuckles.
"Goodnight, Fitz." She says suddenly getting very tired.
"I'll call or text you tomorrow."
"I'd like that." She smiles.
The call ends and they both eventually fall asleep, thinking and dreaming about each other.

Olivia wakes up to her 6 am alarm. She yawns as she starts to get ready to drive to the university campus. She smiled as she thought about Fitz. She couldn't wait for their date tomorrow. She's a little bit nervous about meeting him at his apartment. As much as she physically wants him, she hopes that they don't sleep together straight away. She has done other stuff but she is still a virgin and maybe once they get to know each other better, then maybe they could take the next step forward in their relationship. She still couldn't believe that she had only known him for basically less than one day. She sighs as she quickly gets ready and goes downstairs.
"Morning, pumpkin." Maya greets as she eats her breakfast.
"Morning, mom." She replies as she gets some toast and hot chocolate.
"Off to college?" She asks.
"Yeah, I have a test later."
"Good luck, baby."
"Thanks, mom. I didn't know you had to go into the hospital today."
"Yeah, I have to cover another nurse who is sick."
"Where's dad?"
"He's in the basement gym." Maya rolls her eyes.
"I'm sure he'll get sick of working out soon." Liv laughs.
"Yeah… anyway, what did you think of Fitzgerald? Your father seems to have found a favourite employee." She chuckles.
Olivia tries not to blush as her mom says Fitz's name.
"He seems… cool." Olivia says, hoping that her mom didn't see her blushing.
"And handsome." She chuckles.
"Ohh gosh, mom." She chuckles too.
"What? Anyway, I've gotta go, baby, I'll see you later." She says hugging Olivia.
"Bye, mom."
'Ohh my god, my mom has a crush on Fitz.' She facepalms as she laughs.

Olivia arrives on campus and parks her car just as her phone rings. She grins and quickly answers it.
"Hi, Fitz."
"Hi, Liv."
"Good morning."
"Good morning, where are you?"
"I've just arrived on campus. I've got lessons and a test later. What about you, are you still at home?"
"Aww, good luck, baby and yeah I'm having a lie in bed." He chuckles.
'Baby.' She grins.
"Thank you."
"I'll call you later, then."
"And I'll answer." She smiles.
"You better." He chuckles.
"Bye, Fitz." She chuckles too.
"Bye, Livvie."
'Livvie.' She grins as she ends the call.
She gets out of her car just as her best friend, Abby, comes over to greet her.
"Hey, red." Olivia greets.
"Hey, Liv! Are you ready for Parsons lecture?" She says.
"Yeah, what about you?"
"Yeah, I just hope I don't fall asleep, he's so boring." Abby laughs.
"I think he's alright."
"Whatever, Liv. Anyway, Stephen is having a house party tomorrow. Are you in? Please say you're in."
"Errmm, I can't, Abby."
"Why, not?" She says pulling a face.
"I… I have a date."
"Ohh my god, girl with who?"
"You don't know him."
"Hmm, just tell me he's handsome." Abby smirks.
"Ohh, he's very handsome." Olivia winks.
"Maybe you can come over to the party, later? That's if you don't sleep over with your date." Abby chuckles.
"Our date is in the afternoon, so I guess I could come over after but I'm not promising anything, Abby."
"Yes, thank you, Liv!" Abby grins.
"Come on lets go, before we're late for lesson."
