Olivia is doing some last minute prep for her late night call. Now ready for action, she has her dreads swept up in an up do. And she's changed into one of her new lingerie pieces, thinking her previous choice wasn't sexy enough. She's now sporting a pair of sheer red lace boy shorts, and matching tank top. She also has her side table lamp on dim with a red scarf over the top; because it gives a sexy background affect on camera. Knowing his favorite color is red, she figures this ensemble can't miss.
As she settles into bed ready for his call she's hoping happens soon. Her phone vibrates. She smiles as she sees his face pop up on the screen, and she hits answer. With the phone positioned just above her cleavage. She smiles sweetly as she says, "Hello there handsome." He grins as he replies, "Hello beautiful."
Instantly, her sexy smile lights up his screen. Excitedly he takes in the teasing peek she's giving him with the camera angle. Admittedly she's also intrigued by him as well, seeing he's obviously shirtless. While he's checking her out; she's noticing his manicured chest and pecks, by the way he's holding the phone completely unabashed.
She adores his confidence, it's one of the sexiest things about him that really turn her on. His voice then interrupts her thoughts as she hears him say, "Sorry I'm so late calling you. It took a while to clear the house out after the game."
She nods as she responds, "I understand. It's no biggie. I'm glad you called." He smiles as he replies, "Me too. You said your day was too long to text. So, I had to check in on you."
She appreciates his concern as she replies, "Awe thanks. That's sweet of you. It was just allot for one day that's all. Tons of emotions riling around from one extreme to another." He nods as he replies, "It sounds draining;Tell me about it." She takes a breath as she responds, "Well for starters I had lunch with Eddie today to finalize our break up. And spoiler alert, he brought his parents with him."
His eyebrows express surprise as he replies, "He what?" She grins at his reaction as she says, "You heard me. I didn't stutter." He shakes his head as he responds, "That's insane Liv. How'd that go?"
She sighs as she replies, "It went about as well as you'd expect. They tried to talk me into staying with him, at least through the initial launch of his campaign. His father even tried to promise me he'd stop cheating." Fitz quickly asks, "How in the hell was he going to ensure that?"
She shrugs her shoulders as she replies, "That's what I asked him, and he didn't exactly have an answer. Because he knew he was making promises he couldn't keep, and nor should he. At any rate; ultimately I declined the offer. Then Eddie got upset when he realized I wasn't backing down. And he yelled some obscenities as I walked out refusing to look back. Bottom line I'm done with him and his craziness. He can find someone else to be his enabling arm piece. But it won't be me."
Fitz doesn't like him yelling at her. But, at the same time he's happy she walked away unscathed. Being supportive, he says, "I know you don't need me to defend you. But he's an asshole for talking to you like that, and an even bigger one for showing up with his parents to back him up, despite being guilty as sin."
Loving his protective nature, and finding his somewhat blustery toned defense of her sexy as hell. She smiles as she replies, "You're right. I don't need you to defend me. But I appreciate you nonetheless. So thank you." Her sweet tone and smile calm him as he relaxes once again, and smiles at her as he replies, "You're welcome. I just don't like guys like him. He's a bully. Politics is probably the best place for him. And that's one main reason it's not the place for me. I couldn't keep my temperament working with guys with that mindset. They're illogical, irrational, and idiotic."
She nods agreeably as she replies, "You're not wrong. He will be right at home in Washington for sure." They both know it's truly an environment he will thrive in; considering all of the bully tactics and underhanded shenanigans that go on in government. It's a world she can't believe they both almost ended up in. And it's an invitation to a party they've both happily rejected.
She thinks about how invested he was in politics earlier in his life, and how he abruptly changed his mind after high school. He sees her in wonderment and asks, "What's on your mind Liv?" She comes back to the moment as she replies, "Just thinking about how we both almost ended up in politics. And, how miserable it appears we would've been."
He nods as he says, "I know. That world is not for the weak at heart, or apparently anybody with much integrity. The level of corruption involved gives me a headache." She has to agree with him. Nobody is completely clean in politics, especially the ones that appear to be. Which makes her think of his father. So she asks, "Not to be disrespectful in any way; but have you spoken to your dad yet about not entering the senate race?"
He smirks as he replies, "Funny how the idea of deceit and back stabbing makes you think of him, fitting." Olivia gives him a look as she shakes her head and says, "You know I didn't mean it that way. I even prefaced my statement before hand." He shrugs his shoulders as he responds, "I know. But it's true." She concedes to his remark, knowing his feelings about his father.
He sees a shift in her facial expression, and feels bad. So he says, I'm sorry Liv. I didn't mean to be like that toward you. You know it's not you, right?" She nods as she replies, "Yes. I do. But, I also know that keeping the amount of pain and anger you have inside of you regarding him isn't healthy, nor is it helpful." In her head she's thinking, damn girl. That was about as subtle as a bull in a china shop.
He doesn't want to hear a lecture from her on how he needs to deal with his emotions. But, at the same time. He knows he bought this on himself with his remark about his dad. So he decides to shift the conversation back onto a decent track. She sees him thinking and like him, she feels the conversation has gone left, unnecessarily.
But as she prepares to speak he beats her to the punch, as he says, "You're right. My father and I don't have the healthiest relationship. But, right now. It's what we've got. And I'm just not ready for it to be any better. I know you don't agree with it, but just try to respect it. One day i hope it will be better."
Agreeing toe relent she takes in his response and nods as she says, "I can respect that. And please know I didn't mean any harm." He smiles at her as he replies, "I know you didn't. I can always count on you to tell me exactly how you feel, and not hold back. It's one of the things I adore about you."
Intrigued by his response she grins as she says, "Really?" He returns the sweet smile she's flashing as he replies, "Yes. Really." Despite the heaviness of a conversation about his relationship with his father can bring; the mood is trending back to being relaxed.
Being a good sport; he decides to answer her original question posed about talking to his father, as he says, "To answer your question. He knows I don't want to run for public office. But, that doesn't mean he's listening to me." She tilts her head a bit, as she smartly responds, "So, the short answer is no, huh?"
