She can't help but think, should she tell him?
Doesn't he deserve to know? She then thinks doing such a thing would be an act of betrayal to Mellie. After all, she's known both of them for the same amount of time.
She met both of them in high school. But he was the first person she met on her first day. She was walking down the hall, looking for AP English, and he showed her the way. He was wearing a Magic Johnson jersey, so they bonded immediately over basketball. He was impressed with her sports knowledge right away. She smiles as she thinks about their first conversation. They argued about the top 5 Laker players the entire way to class. Hence them both now being on track to being attorney's. They've had tons of long study sessions together over the years, with opportunities to get to know one another well. She truly values his friendship. And doesn't want to see him hurt.
She and Mellie met in the bathroom one day between classes. She went to the bathroom, on her way to science class. And, she heard someone in a stall say, "Oh no. I forgot my purse. Damn it! What now?"
Understanding that predicament and guessing her reason for distress. Olivia leaned down in the stall beside her and passed her a tampon, saying. "Here you go." Mellie eventually accepted the offer, but not without first asking a bevy of questions. Olivia chuckles as she recalls how crazy that situation seemed to be.
But, since that day she and Mellie were friendly. And, when Olivia realized she was friends with Fitz. It caused them to all become friendlier, including Harrison and Andrew. Who were basketball and football teammates of Fitz's. It wasn't long before they found themselves doing everything together as a group. It was always fun and always a good time to be had.
The time it takes for her mind to run down memory lane, consumes her. Before she knows it. She looks at the clock and it's after midnight. But she still has her phone in her hand.
She notices she has a bevy of missed messages and calls she didn't notice previously. After looking closer. She realizes they're from Eddie. She forgot she turned off the ringer while she and Abby were Netflix and chilling. And never turned the ringer back on.
Seeing the list of voicemails and text messages he's left overwhelms her. What doesn't he understand about leaving her alone, and giving her space? She thinks. Annoyed, she decides not to listen to the voicemails, and based on some of the text messages she reads, she knows she's not missing anything important from him. No apology will do. She's simply tired of it. If he can't be faithful now. How can she expect him to be faithful after their married? She takes a breath, and decides to block his number. Something about taking that step gives her a measure of peace.
Upon blocking his number. She notices a message come in. She checks it, and it's Fitz. She blinks twice to make sure her eyes are not deceiving her. And, once she does a double take. She sees it's him.
She's not sure why, but she's nervous to click the message. What could he possibly want this time of night? She thinks. She then considers, maybe it's more tips on how not to get fired from her appointment to clerk for Judge Rowan. But, only one way to be sure.
She clicks the message, and she sees. "Hey, You up?" She replies, "Yup. What's up?" He responds, "Wanna chill like old times?" Wow, she thinks. They haven't chilled together alone in quite some time. Despite knowing she has work tomorrow and it's late. Her fingers make the decision her head knows she shouldn't. And, by the time common sense prevails. She reads her reply. "Yes." And his response, "I'm on my way."
