The Unexpected

AN: I'm really excited for the 100th episode, I can't wait to see where the characters end up in the alternative timeline. Again, thank you guys for the follows and reviews. This story is mixed point of views but it will probably be mostly Olivia's point of view. Hope you guys like it. Please forgive any mistakes and let me know what you guys think :)

"Bye, Liv."

"Bye, Abby."

"Don't forget about the party!" Abby said.

"I'll think about it." Olivia said.

Olivia was glad that her day at university was over. It had been a long day and it didn't help that she couldn't stop thinking about Fitz. She knew that they were basically strangers but were they in a new relationship, she wondered. She also contemplated whether to actually go to the party afterwards or not. She wasn't sure whether to tell Fitz or not as well. She didn't want him to think that she was ditching him to go to a party. Even though she was still a teenager, she didn't want Fitz to think that she was being childish or selfish. Driving home from the campus, all she wanted to do was have a short nap and hopefully talk to Fitz.

Meanwhile, Fitz was working at the office.

"Come in." He said as someone knocked on his office door.

"I've got the paperwork you asked for." Mellie said as she came in. She was another employee who also worked for Mr Pope.

"Thanks, Mellie."

"Come in." He said as someone knocked on his office door again.

"Hey Fitz, Hello Mellie." Cyrus greeted.

They both greet Cyrus. Mellie eventually leaves after handing him the paperwork.

"What's up, Cyrus?"

"Nothing, I was just checking up on you. You've made a great impression on Elijah. I heard he invited you over for dinner."

"Yeah, it was nice." Fitz smiles to himself thinking about the dinner.

"Don't ruin it." He says.

"I'll try not to." Fitz gulps as he thinks about Olivia.

"By the way, I'd steer clear of Mellie." Cyrus warns.

"Why?" Fitz asks.

"I heard that she has a reputation of using other employees."

"For?"

"Well, to advance her career. Also, I heard that Amanda has slept with a lot of the men in the building just to get what she wants."

"I never would have thought that." Fitz says surprised.

"Yeah…"

"Thanks for the warning, Cyrus." He sighs.

"You're welcome, just keep up the good work, Fitzgerald." He smiles and then walks out of the room.

Fitz went back to working but eventually ended up day dreaming about Olivia.

An hour later, Olivia woke up from her nap. She felt less tired and more energised now. She sat up on her bed and was about to pick her phone up to text Fitz, when it started buzzing. Fitz was calling her. Great minds think a like. She smiled as she answered her phone.

"Hi."

"Hi, how are you you?" He asks.

"I just had a very nice nap, what about you?" She giggles.

"Lucky, I'm still at the office. I'll probably leave soon."

"How was work?"

"A lot of paperwork." He chuckles.

"Did you see my dad?"

"I saw him from a distance but I didn't talk to him today."

"Okay…"

"What's wrong?" He asks worried.

"I don't know, I'm just worried that if and when he finds out about us, that you won't be his favourite employee any more and he might find some way to punish you at work." She sighs.

"Liv, do you want to cancel our date tomorrow?"

"Fitz… no. I'm just saying that it could be possibility and I don't want you to resent me down the road." She explains.

"... Livvie, it's a chance that I'm willing to take."

Olivia doesn't reply as she absorbs what he has just said to her.

"Now, what would you like to eat tomorrow? Are you allergic to anything?" He says changing the subject.

"No, I'm not. Hmm, how about a simple lasagne?"

"Good choice, Livvie. I'll get some garlic bread and salad as well." He smiled.

"Great."

"I can't wait to see you tomorrow." He says.

"Me too." She replied blushing.

They stayed silent on the phone just simply listening to each other breath.

"I guess I should let you get back to work." She said after a short while.

"Okay, bye, Livvie."

"Bye, Fitz." She smiled as she ended the phone call.

'Now, I need something nice to wear tomorrow. Maybe I should bring something as well.' She thought.

Fitz woke up early the next morning, he needed to get his apartment and himself ready for their date.

"Hey buddy, you have to behave today. We have a very important guest coming over." Fitz said as he greeted Milo. Milo just stared at him.

He quickly cleaned and tided up his apartment. He couldn't help but laugh at Milo as he was definitely not helping the cleaning and tidying up situation.

"Now I need to buy the food and cook." He said to himself.

Olivia spent the morning picking out what to wear. She kept on choosing one dress and then changing to another dress.

"Abby, I need your help." She said as she rang Abby on facetime.

"What's up, Liv?"

"I don't know which dress to wear."

"Show me." Abby replied.

Olivia held up a short skater red laced dress and then held up a red sun dress.

"The red one." Abby says chuckling.

"Abby, focus!" Liv chuckles too.

"Okay, hmm, the lace looks hot."

"Thank you." She smiles.

"So, how did you two meet?"

They've been best friends forever, Olivia wonders whether she should tell her the truth or not.

"He… He works for my fathers company."

"How did that happen?" Abby says kind of surprised.

Olivia tells her pretty much exactly what happened when Fitz came over for dinner.

"Ohh my god, Liv!" Abbys says shocked.

"I know." Olivia laughs.

"Damn girl, you better show me a picture when you get one."

"Sure." She laughs again.

They chat and laugh as she gets ready for the date. A few hours later, Olivia was finally ready and drove to Fitz's apartment. She knew that he couldn't pick her up without raising suspicion from her parents. She chuckled to herself as she decided to bring a bottle of wine and two bags of popcorn.

She took a deep breath as she knocked on his apartment door. Fitz was on the other side as his heart was pounding quickly. He was casually dressed in a grey polo shirt and dark jeans. He took a deep breath as he opened the door. They smiled as they looked at each other. He put one hand out which she happily took. They entered his apartment as he closed the door.

"Hi." He smiled.

"Hi." She smiled back.

"Welcome to my apartment."

"I brought wine and popcorn." She giggled.

"You look beautiful."

"And you look very handsome."

They were still holding hands as Fitz stepped forward and hugged her. They both closed their eyes as they hugged one another. Their moment was broken when Milo started sniffing Olivia. They both laughed as their hug ended.

"You must be Milo." Olivia said as she bent down to play with him.

Milo lay on his back as Olivia tickled his tummy. Fitz just looked on smiling.

"I'll be right back." He says.

Olivia looked around his apartment as she picked up Milo. She liked what she saw. It was a nice apartment and it definitely suited him.

"The food is ready, Liv."

Olivia put Milo down as she headed to where Fitz was.

"Wow, Fitz."

The food and wine was on the table along with candles and flowers. Olivia was impressed.

"I hope you like it." He grinned.

He came over to take her hand as he pulled the chair out for her to sit in. He gives her a single rose as he kisses her forehead and then quickly sits down as well.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"Dinner is served." He chuckled.

"This looks and smells amazing, Fitz." She smiled at him.

He took her hand again and kissed it as they started eating.

"Great choice in wine by the way."

"I took it from my dads collection." She says nonchalantly.

"Olivia!" Fitz says shocked.

"Don't worry, baby, he has plenty." She laughs.

"Gosh, woman." He laughs too.

"The food is delicious."

"Thanks, baby."

"I like it when you call me baby and Livvie." She blushes.

"Good, because I like saying them." He grins.

They continue to eat and chat until they finished the food.

"If you want, I have chocolates or ice cream for dessert."

"I'm stuffed." She says.

"Me too." He laughs.

He gets up as he puts the dishes away. He then helps her up as they hold their wine glasses and walk over to the couch. Milo follows them and jumps on the couch too.

"He likes you." Fitz says.

"He's adorable." Olivia says as she strokes his soft fur.

"Hey, I'm feeling neglected over here."

"Aww, Fitz." She giggles.

She cuddles up to him as they wrap their arms around each other. Fitz kisses her forehead as they sit still just holding one another.

"What's your favourite colour?" He asks.

"Hmm, I guess purple. What about you?"

"Blue. Favourite ice cream flavour?"

"Mint chocolate chip."

"Me too! What do you want to do after you've graduated?"

"Hmm, I'm leaning more towards something to do with business, like my father."

"Maybe I could help you." He winks as she blushes.

"Do you have any siblings?"

"I'm an only child as well."

"It's lonely sometimes." She says.

"Hey, look at me." He says.

Eventually, she looks at him. He smiles and cups her face as he strokes her cheek with his thumb.

"I'm here for you, baby." He softly said.

She nods her head as she kissed his chin. They stayed cuddled up as they chatted. Fitz was so happy that she was finally here and in his arms. She felt amazing in his arms. He promised himself that he wouldn't let anything bad happen to her or to their relationship. Olivia too was feeling happy just being with him.

"Are we together?"

"I want you to be my girlfriend, Livvie."

"Do you think we'll make it?"

"I won't settle for anything less, baby."

"I want you to be my boyfriend." She smiled.

"Good." He says hugging her tightly.

They stayed cuddled up just chatting and getting to know each other, while playing with Milo.

"I guess I should go, it's getting late."

"Okay."

"We didn't get to eat the popcorn."

"Well, how about next time we have a movie date."

"I'd like that. I had an amazing time, Fitz." She said as they stood by the door.

"Me too, baby." He smiled.

They stood there until Fitz cupped her face. He leaned in slowly as she closed her eyes. She wrapped her arms around his waist as their lips met. It was a slow and unhurried kiss. Fitz pulled away after short while as he kissed her forehead. He didn't want to rush her especially after what happened at her house.

"Bye, Livvie." He said as he quickly kissed her again.

"Bye, Fitz." She smiled.

He stood by the door until she was gone. He closed it and sighed, he missed her already. He couldn't wait to see her again.
