Mellie replies, "Well, for one. I've texted him a few times and he hasn't responded regarding what they're all bringing game night. And, I saw his girlfriend with Drew today at the gas station."
Abby and Olivia both look at one another as Olivia asks, "What girlfriend?" Abby adds, "Yeah Mel. Explain what you're talking about; because I'm lost. He was just on a date with you yesterday. So either that's the quickest rebound move in history, or he's suddenly a two timer."
Olivia defends him as she says, "I'm sure neither one of those are true. This is Fitz we are talking about. He's not that guy." Abby smirks as she smartly says, "Girl, all guys are capable of being that guy. Let's not be naive." Mellie says, "I agree with Abby, nobody is perfect. Especially not a man. What he can do, he will do if given the chance. You know that first hand Liv."
Olivia shakes her head as Abby replies, "Damn, really Mellie?" Mellie realizes how her comment must have landed, and says, "I'm sorry Liv. I didn't mean anything by it." Olivia puts up her hand as she responds, "Mel, its fine. Just tell us about this alleged Fitz's girlfriend sighting please that has you up in arms."
She again falls off track as she responds, "I wouldn't say I was up in arms, I mean..." Abby feels her own annoyance level rising as she interjects, "Mel. I love you. But as God as my witness. I am going to slap you if you don't stay on topic! Who is this chick?"
In her head, Olivia is screaming, yes. Thank you. And, Mellie replies, "Okay damn. No need to get violent. Anyway, I was on break and stopped at the gas station. When I went inside I saw Drew talking to some girl, and Harry at the counter.
At first I thought the girl and Drew were together, but I knew he and Stacey were supposedly back together. So I was hoping I didn't just catch him cheating. That would've sucked." Abby replies, "Agreed. I like Stacey." Olivia responds, "Me too."
Mellie proceeds as she says, "So anyway. I walk over to Drew and the chick who were talking. He acknowledges me and he says her name is Nyemah. Pretty name, but different."
Instantly, Olivia knows who the young woman is, but doesn't interrupt Mellie. She lets her continue as she says, "We greet each other and she seems nice enough. But, a little too nice if you know what I mean. And, she kept asking Drew what snacks Fitz said he wanted. She was intentional about getting the request right. I told her whoppers and Doritos, since I knew those are two of his favorites, and she seemed a bit put off by my knowledge."
Abby asks, "Did she give you an attitude or something?" Mellie says, "I mean she seemed a bit bothered that I knew what he liked. But shouldn't I with as long as we've been friends?"
Olivia says, "Yes. That's a fair point. But, she didn't know you were cool with Fitz. Unless Drew introduced you that way. And, what you took for her being put off, was probably more like confusion as to how you had that knowledge, and by the way you got the candy wrong. He likes milk duds, not whoppers."
Mellie frowns at first and then says, "Oh, damn. My fault. You're right. It was milk duds. How do you remember stuff like that?" Olivia shrugs her shoulders as she replies, "I don't know. I store allot of information that most people forget. But, let's get back to why you thought she was his girlfriend."
Abby says, "Agreed. What did she do to make you think they were dating?" Mellie rolls her eyes as she responds, "I just told you all. She was buying him snacks. Nobody does that unless they're dating someone or they're interested in them."
Abby sighs as she replies, "Oh my goodness. I'm going to bed. I can't with you." Olivia cracks up as she responds, "Me too. You're so dammed dramatic sometimes Mel." Mellie scoffs, "Whatever, When I finally get him on the phone maybe he can confirm it or deny it. But until I hear it from him. I am sticking with my story. That's his girlfriend."
Abby says, "Mellie that doesn't make any sense. But of course do what you will. I'm just curious as to why you'd care even if it was true?" Olivia follows with, good question. Mellie are you jealous he's getting attention from someone else?"
She quickly says, "No. of course not. I am happy for him. Now he can stop hounding me." Olivia shakes her head as she says, "Yup. On that note I'm really calling it a night. Night ladies." Abby heads down the stairs as she says, "Goodnight." Leaving Mellie in the living room alone as she says, "They're just mad because I'm right, heifers." And she storms off to bed, turning off the lights and setting the alarm before heading to her room.
After going to her room Olivia showers, puts on her pajamas and gets into bed. As she gets settled, she begins to yawn. Upon plugging up her phone next to her bed, she lays back down. But then she hears it buzzing.
When she grabs it, she sees a message from Fitz. She instantly grins and hits the message. "Let me know when you're ready for that do over. Because I'm game whenever you are [kiss emoticon] heart emoticon]." She giggles at his response to her last text. She forgot she sent it until now.
She thinks for a second, then responds, "Will do. And next time. I won't hold back. Since I know you can handle it." He grins as he replies, "Oh damn. I'll be sure to be ready beautiful. How was your day by the way?"
She sighs as she responds, "It was long and too much to text about. But, I made it through. How about yours?" He responds, "Uhhm, it was very interesting. In fact, when you get a minute. I want to talk to you."
She re-reads the text, and her curiosity is peaked. She curiously replies, "Okay. Are you available now? You can call me." Knowing they've still got company and the game currently has 5 min left in the 4th quarter. He replies, "Can you give me about a half hour? Or will you be sleep? I know your morning was enough to tire you out. (Smile emoticon) lol"
She chuckles a she types, "Lol. Funny. While my morning was very taxing. I am just fine thank you. You can call me when you're available. I will be up for another hour or so."
He smiles as he responds, "Okay. Can I call you on video chat?" She smiles as she says, "Yes naughty. I will happily give you something to envision before you fall asleep. (Kiss emoticon) He replies, "I'm going to hold you to it sexy. Talk to you in a bit... (Wink emoticon)
She smiles as she puts her phone down and anticipates why he wants to call her. It could be anything. She then thinks about Nyemah, and Mellie's claim of them being a couple. Although she knows she likes Fitz; she also knows she's simply not his type. She'd do better to stop being so aggressive in her approach. And play it cool. But, since that's not her personality. It's obvious them hooking up is a negative.
She then wonders, why would she be buying him snacks anyway? Shouldn't he have been at work? Her curiosity is now off and running. Maybe she should've asked Mel more questions, instead of honing in on the lunacy of her theory.
With her mind running in circles, with no end in sight. She decides to pass the time by flipping through her social media accounts until he calls her. When she clicks on Instagram. She flips about halfway down when she suddenly sees something rather unexpected.
It appears somebody is in a new relationship, and all she can think to say is "Good luck with that."
Thank you for reading my fan fiction tale. Allot was addressed in this segment. Hope you were able to keep up. What did you think about Eddie bringing his parents to lunch? Allot of you guessed it. I'm curious how you all think Olivia handled the interaction. It was a heave exchange, and some things needed to be said and realized.
What did you think about Mellie's assertion that Fitz and Nyemah were a couple? Did she seem bothered to you? Also, what were your thoughts on Drew knowing about Fitz and Olivia? And, Drew not telling Fitz that Olivia wanted to ask him out in high-school? Was he wrong to keep it from him? Was Drew right about Mellie being petty for no reason? We shall see.
In the next episode we address all that and more. We find out more about Olivia and Fitz's journey. There are some unanswered questions that only they can answer by talking about their future. Curiously, do you think she should inquire more about Nyemah, or ask about her buying him snacks? Would that be out of line? I'm also curious how you think their situation is unfolding. Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for your support. I appreciate it.
