-It was now the week of Olivia's exam. She had been burying herself in her work trying to study everything she could. Her mom gave her the rest of the week off so she could concentrate. Olivia's exam was Friday and here she was Monday in her room walking back and forth reading her book. She hasn't spoken to Fitz almost all day. He would text her and get a response hours later, then he would call and she would send a text saying she was busy. Fitz was getting frustrated so he stopped trying to talk to her for the day.

Olivia heard knocks on her door. "I'm busy!" Olivia said as she continued to pace back and forth.

"Liv you need to eat something." Abby said through the door. Olivia sighed and tossed her book on her bed and opened her door. She met her redheaded friend who had a smile on her face. "There she is." Abby said.

They walked to the kitchen. Abby made both their plates. "So have you spoken to Fitz at all?" Abby said cutting her grilled chicken.

"No and I sorta feel bad. I kept telling him I was busy and I don't want him to feel like I'm pushing him away but I need to study." Olivia said.

"Liv, you can't just keep yourself drowned in those books until the day of your exam comes. You need to relax stressing yourself out will make it worse. You need to talk to him."

Olivia knew Abby was right again. "I'll call him after I finish eating. How are you and Stephen?" Olivia said forking her green beans.

"We are actually good. I think I actually like him. He's so nice and I just get him. I don't know but he gives me this feeling I can't explain." Abby said as she blushed talking about Stephen.

"Awe, I know how you feel Abs. You two are cute, I can really see you two together. Have y'all done anything yet?" Olivia asked.

Abby laughed at Olivia. She sounded like a child. "If you're talking about sex, then yes. You haven't told Fitz have you?"

"No, I'm scared to. What if-"

"Don't start that shit. Liv just tell the man. He isn't going anywhere. Trust me he isn't. You two were made for each other, he will wait for you no matter what. He loves you Liv. He probably hasn't said it yet but he is definitely showing it." Abby said getting up and putting her plate in the dishwasher.

Abby was once again right. "Damn what is this, Abby is right day." Olivia mumbled. Olivia got up and put her dish in the dishwasher. She went to her room and cleaned off her bed. She sat down and called Fitz. He answered on the third ring.

"Hi." Olivia said.

"Hello." He said.

"Were you in the middle of something?" Olivia questioned.

"I was getting out of the shower. Is there something you need?" Fitz quipped.

Olivia heard the annoyance in his voice, but she wasn't sure if it was towards her or something else.

"Fitz what's wrong?"

"Oh I don't know maybe I haven't heard from you all day barely, but all of a sudden you have time to talk now."

"Fitz, you know I have an exam coming up."

"Liv I get that but I don't want you drowning yourself in all that stuff and stressing yourself out even more." Fitz said.

"Well I'm sorry that I'm trying to accomplish something I always wanted." Olivia sassed back.

Fitz sighed. "I didn't mean it like that. I just want you to take it easy and take one day at a time. You need to relax Liv. You are smart and I know you are gonna pass." Fitz said.

Olivia stayed quiet. "I'm coming over tomorrow after I get off work." Fitz said and with that he hung up. Olivia looked at her phone and rolled her eyes. She just took a breath and went to take a shower to calm herself.

Olivia woke up around 3:45. She was tired from yesterday. She sat up and yawned. She had a missed call from her Dad. She grabbed her phone and called him back.

"Livvia."

"Hey Dad, sorry I didn't answer I was very tired from studying yesterday." Olivia said yawning.

"It's fine Babygirl. I was just calling to check up on you. How have you been?"

"I'm fine, just been working hard." Olivia said as she walked to the kitchen and started to cook some grits. "How are you Dad?"

"I'm okay. Just missing you, when will you some to Brooklyn to see us?" Eli asked.

"I'll try to come up there soon Dad." Olivia said.

"Okay sugar. I have to get back to work. Talk to you later. Love you."

"Okay Dad Love you too." Olivia said.

As soon as Olivia put her phone down there were knocks at the door. She moved the pot off the hot eye and turned the stove off. She opened the door.

"I have flowers for a Ms.Pope?" The tall man said.

"I'm her. Thank you." Olivia said taking the flowers.

The man walked away and she closed the door. She smelled the white roses. They were her favorite flower. Something that she told Fitz. She smiled and pulled out the card that was in it.

"I'm sorry, I hope you accept my apology."

She smiled at the card. She put the roses in a vase and called Fitz.

"Hi." He said.

"I do accept your apology. I'm sorry too." Olivia said.

"It's fine Livvie, I was the one who had an attitude for no reason. I'm on my way over after I pick up some things. Wear something comfortable." Fitz said.

"Okay." She didn't even want to question him.

"See you soon." He said then hung up the phone. Olivia sat at the table and ate her grits. After she finished she cleaned her bowl. She went in her room and put her hair into a messy bun and grabbed her book off her bed. She went back into the living room and did a little studying before Fitz came over.

A few minutes later she heard knocks at the door. She smiled and got up and opened the door.

"Hi there." He said.

"Hi." She said standing on her tippy toes. Fitz bent down and pecked her lips. Fitz dropped the bags on the floor. He took off his coat and put it on the coat hanger by the door. Olivia looked him over. He had on a white nike shirt that fit him tight showing his muscles and a pair of light grey Nike joggers with his white nike shoes.

"You look comfortable. You wore that to work?"

"No I didn't wear this to work. I changed before I came by." Fitz said. "Now can I get this tour?"

Olivia giggled and gave him a quick tour of the not so big apartment. They ended In her room. "It's cute I like it." Fitz said as he looked at her room.

"Thanks. Now what were in those bags?" Olivia asked.

"Oh yeah. Sit down on your bed." Olivia did what she was told and waited for him to come back. He came back and started to place candles around the room and light them. He pulled a towel out of one of the bags and put it across her bed.

"Fitz?" Olivia said watching him. He continued to place things around the room ignoring her.

"Fitzgerald?"

"Yes Livvie?"

"What are you doing?"

"Well I'm about to give you a massage if you don't mind. I want to help you relax, is that okay?" Fitz said and smiled.

She smiled back at him and nodded her head. "Okay go in the bathroom and remove your clothes and put this on." Fitz said handing her a robe. Olivia did what she was told. She came out of her bathroom. Olivia walked over to the bed.

"Can I take this off for you? I have towel to our over you" He said behind her.

"Sure." Olivia said, her back was to him. Fitz untied the robe from her waist and slowly pulled hit off her shoulders. His hands ran up and down her shoulders and then down to her arms. He breathed in her scent and kissed her neck. Olivia shuddered.

"Lay down Livvie." Fitz said. Olivia laid on her stomach and put her head on a pillow. Fitz wrapped the towel over her lower half. He climbed onto the bed and drizzled the oil on her back. He rubbed circles on her back making sure he got all the tense spots. He eased down to her legs and feet massaging them and placing kisses on the heel of her feet and legs.

"I'm gonna lift the towel, okay?" Fitz said. Olivia nodded.

He lifted the towel from her lower half he felt his member getting hard. He tried to shake the feeling but it was hard to. He drizzled the oil in his hands and started to massage her ass and thighs. He earned a few soft moans from Olivia as he did so. He was rubbing her inner thigh and his fingers kept getting closer and closer to her center. Olivia's breath hitched. Fitz smiled noticing what he was doing to her.

"Flip over Liv." He said. Olivia obliged and flipped over. He licked his lips and started to rub her up and down. Getting all her tense areas in the front. Olivia ended up dozing off to sleep which gave him time to do something else. He went into her bathroom and ran a bath. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a wine glass. He went back to the room and went to check the water. He added roses to the tub that was now filled with bubbles. He went back into the bedroom to wake Olivia . "Livvie." He whispered. Olivia stirred a little.

"Liv." He said a little louder this time kissing her cheek a few times. Then started to kiss her until he felt her finally kiss him back.

"Come on, I got something else for you." He said giving her his hand. She grabbed it and he walked her to the bathroom. She smiled. "Fitz you didn't have to." Olivia said.

"But I wanted to." He said. He helped her in the tub and poured her a glass of wine and placed it beside the tub. "I'll let you relax." Fitz said standing up to leave. Olivia grabbed his hand. "Stay." Olivia said in a hushed tone. He sat down on the stool.

"I can't believe you did all this for me."

"I'll do anything for you Liv. I mean that Livvie." Fitz said with a smile.

"Thank you." Olivia said. Olivia was debating on telling him that she was a virgin since he has already seen her body and she was really craving him but she went against it.

Fitz helped her out of the tub and back into the robe. They went into the living room and sat on the couch. Olivia sat beside him and cuddle under his arm. She felt him shift a little.

"You okay?" She asked looking into his eyes.

He leaned towards her and kissed her. The kiss deepened quick he pulled her into his lap. Fitz's hands roamed her, one hand was on her ass and the other was rubbing her leg. Olivia's hand was at the nape of his neck. Fitz's hands started to go under the robe and Olivia broke the kiss grabbing his arm. "Fitz we can't."

"Liv is there something wrong?"

Here we go it was now or never she thought. "Fitz, I'm…" she took a deep breath. "I'm a virgin." Olivia said and looked away.

"You are?" Fitz questioned.

"Yes and if you don't want me anymore I unde-" she was cut off by Fitz kissing her.

"Liv I'm not going anywhere. I promise you that. It's okay to be a virgin, I don't have a problem with it. My feelings for you haven't changed and they never will." Fitz said.

Olivia smiled and gave him a kiss then laid her head in the crook of his neck. He rubbed circles on her back. "What do you want your first time to be like?" He questioned out of the blue.

She shrugged. "Very intimate, a little music in the back with candles and wine." Olivia said.

"Okay." Fitz said taking note of what she said. "If you don't mind me asking, but what's keeping you from doing it?"

"Well I just haven't found the right guy I guess. I haven't found that guy I trust, but maybe you can change that." Olivia said and looked into his eyes and smiled. She pecked his lips and laid her head in the crook of his neck. Fitz rubbed her back up and down in deep thought. Olivia had dozed off in his lap. He stood and carried her to her room. He was about to walk out.

"Fitz." He heard.

"Yes?"

"Can you stay?" She asked. He smiled. "Sure I can." He said. He took his shirt off and got into bed with Olivia. She cuddled into him. He rubbed circles on her back until she dozed off and not long after Fitz was asleep too.

A few days Later and it was the Day of Olivia's exam. She prayed, her mom called and prayed for her, then her dad called her and told her she could do it. Abby made Olivia breakfast, and Fitz sent Olivia more flowers and called her and talked to her to help calm her nerves. He even told her "You can do it Liv, you can do anything that you put your mind to." She kept saying those words as she walked through the building. She got to her classroom and said a quick prayer before she started.

After a few hours, everyone finished their exams and went to the cafeteria to eat. Olivia sat down and called Fitz.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi, I really needed to hear that." Olivia said then took a bite out of her sandwich.

"Liv you are okay, I know you passed."

"I don't know Fitz." They talked more until Fitz had to go into a meeting. Olivia finished her sandwich and headed back into the class. She sat on her phone until her professor cleared his voice. Olivia sat her phone down.

"I will call you by your name, and you will come down and I'll let you know if you passed or not." He said then walked back to his desk. Olivia took deep breaths as she waited for her name, then finally he called it.

"Olivia Pope." Olivia got up and walked to his desk. She tried to smile but she couldn't she was too nervous.

"Congratulations Ms.Pope you have passed the exam. You made the highest score out of the whole class, I'm very proud of you." The professor said standing and shaking Olivia's hand.

"Oh! Thank you sir it was an honor being in your class." Olivia said as she shook his hand. Olivia walked out of the class with a little pep in her step and the biggest smile on her face. She was so happy a weight has been lifted off her shoulders.

When she got home she was just so happy. She busted into Abby's room. "I PASSED...I FUCKING PASSED!" Olivia shouted.

Abby jumped up. "YESSSS! We told your ass you would." Abby said giving Olivia a hug. "You know we gotta celebrate." Abby said.

"The club?" Olivia asked.

"You read my mind." Abby said as she sat down sending a texting to the group. Olivia told Fitz the good news and that they were going out. Olivia then called her parents to let them know the good news.

It was 11:00 and the girls were at Olivia's and Abby's apartment pregaming.

"To Liv and her smartass...it comes in handy sometimes." Trinity joked as she lifted her shot glass. They laughed and threw their drinks back. Olivia was gonna get drunk tonight and she didn't care.

"Let's get the hell outta here." Abby said grabbing her purse.

They left to the club. The guys were already there waiting. When they got there they chilled in the VIP section for a while. "So Charlie how do you know Fitz?" Olivia asked.

"Oh we go back. We used to play Football together back in highschool." Charlie said.

"I didn't know you played football." Olivia said hitting his arm.

"You never asked." Fitz said with a smile.

Olivia took another shot. "Let's go dance." Olivia said pulling Fitz up. He had to grab her cause she almost fell when she stood up. She giggled and they walked to the dance floor.

Olivia and Fitz were owning the dance floor. Olivia was grinding on him and he was grinding on her. Their hips were moving to the song. Fitz would whisper in Olivia's ear and kiss her neck from time to time causing her to giggle and feel that feeling she always gets when she's with him.

They all dance the night away. They left when Olivia couldn't stand anymore.

"I can take her Home Abby." Fitz said as he carried a drunk sleeping Olivia in his arms.

"You sure?" Abby asked.

"Yeah you go hang out with Stephen I got her." Fitz said.

"Okay, take care of her." Abby said as she got into Olivia's car and drove off with Stephen.

Fitz laid Olivia down in the car. He brought his black 2015 Mercedes Benz C-Class since he had the boys with him. He leaned the seat back for her, he strapped her in then kissed her cheek. He got in on the other side and drove to her apartment.

When they got there he got her out and carried her upstairs. He was glad he worked out because there was no way he could have carried her all the way up those stairs. He grabbed the key that Abby gave him. He did it want to go through Olivia's purse.

He opened the door and took her to her room. He sat her on the bed and stored to undress her.

"Fitz." Olivia whispered.

"Yes?"

Olivia jumped up and ran to the bathroom. Fitz went in after her and rubbed her back and kept her hair out of the way as she threw up everything. When she finished he grabbed a towel for her. She washed her face and brushed her teeth and grabbed her black night slip.

"You hungry?" He asked.

"Yeah a little." Olivia said as she walked to her bed tying her hair into a low bun.

Fitz walked to the kitchen and made Olivia a sandwich. He walked back in her room and gave her the sandwich. He sat behind her and she rested against his back as she ate.

"I have something planned for you." Fitz said kissing her ear.

"You do? What are we gonna do?"

"You are gonna have to see it's a surprise." Fitz said kissing her cheek.

Olivia rolled eyes and finished her sandwich. Fitz got up and took her plate to the kitchen. "You want me to stay again?" Fitz asked.

"Yes please." Olivia said.

"Okay I'll be right back." Fitz said as he disappeared.

He came back a few minutes later with his duffel bag.

"Oh so you knew you were gonna stay the night." Olivia lightly joked.

"I was hoping you were gonna ask." Fitz said as he started to take his shirt off. Then he took his pants off. Even though it was dark Olivia could make out his ass. She bit her lip as she watched him. He slid on a pair of shorts and got into bed.

Olivia cuddled against him. He kissed her forehead. "Goodnight Livvie."

"Goodnight Fitz." Olivia said then dozed off to sleep.
