The long awaited update!

As the kiss slowly winds down and they both pull away, Fitz is the first to speak answering Olivia's question.
"I did feel something. I was trying to tell you but you kept rambling on. I needed you to shut up for a minute so I could tell you."
"Okay." She whispered still standing close to him.
"I apologize if I overstepped by kissing you." a nervous Fitz spoke shoving his hands into his pockets. " I hope we can still spend time together right now."
"Your fine and of course we can." Olivia replied nudging his shoulder. "I was hoping you'd kiss me"
Fitz smiled before asking "Do you want to head back and get something to drink?"
"Sure."
Fitz turns around grabbing Olivia's hand heading back to the party. "What's you go to drink?"
"I usually have a nice glass of red wine but they probably don't have any, so I'll take a Smirnoff Ice. You?"
"I like Bud Light, sometimes I have a glass of Scotch at night. Do you have a favorite flavor of Smirnoff?" Fitz curiously asked.
"The Peach Bellini flavor is really good." As Olivia finished speaking, they were back at the party. Fitz went and grabbed their drinks, while Olivia waited for him she checked her phone for any messages.
Mellie: "Liv where did you go?"
"Marcus is pretty cool, I'm having fun being with him."
"I hope your okay, text me when you want to leave."
Olivia texts back letting Mellie know she's fine.
Olivia: "I'm okay, I just went for a walk with someone, we are getting some drinks and then we'll walk and talk some more. DEFINITELY NOT ready to leave." With that she hits send and notices Fitz stroll back to where she is standing. She puts her phone away as he hands her the bottle.
"Here ya go." Their fingers briefly touch and Fitz asks to see her phone.
"Can I see your phone please"
Olivia pulls out her phone and playfully says "see" then hands it to him.
"What's your passcode?"
"That's personal business mister, let me see my phone again I'll put it in for you." she quickly types her passcode and hands the phone back to him.
"Thanks" he then locates her phone app and creates a contact for himself. Once the contact is created he takes a funny picture of himself to have as his contact picture. After this he sends a text to his number so he will have her number in his phone.
"If you wanted my number Fitz, all you had to do was ask!" Olivia spoke as Fitz responded to the "hi" he sent on her phone.
"Now we can talk to each other whenever we want." Fitz smirked after he told her.
"Yeah we can." Olivia responds. "I'm hungry, was there food back there when you got the drinks?" As she spoke you could hear her stomach rumble.
"Uh yeah, there was a bunch of snacks, but if you want we can get pizza instead"
"Pizza sounds so good right now." Olivia said as she took a sip of her drink.
"Well then, let's finish our drinks put them in that trash can over there. Then we can find a pizza place open." Fitz said already thinking of what pizza toppings he wanted.
Olivia chugs the rest of her drink and waits for Fitz to do the same so she can get rid of them. He sees that she is awkwardly standing there waiting for him to finish. So he finishes his in one gulp.
"I'll take care of that for you." Holding her right hand out for Fitz to put his empty can in. "Thanks" Fitz responded as their hands connect for a brief second Olivia suddenly got this feeling of butterflies in her stomach.
As Olivia walks to the can and bottle bin to properly dispose of their empty drinks she smiles to herself thinking about knowing this man who has her stomach doing flip flops when they touch.

As Olivia and Fitz walk together to find a pizza place their bodies migrate closer together and they start holding hands. Fitz decides to be romantic and bring their hands up to his lips to give her hand a kiss.
Olivia blushes at the affection Fitz is giving. As they approach a pizza place called "Pat's Pizzeria"
Fitz decides to bring up a discussion topic about pizza. "So, what are your thoughts about Pineapple on pizza?"
"I don't mind it. Especially if it's a Hawaiian pizza with Ham, but it's not something I typically order."
"What do you usually have then?"
"I love Buffalo Chicken pizza and dipping it in blue cheese."
"Dipping your pizza in blue cheese instead of ranch?" Fitz says with a disgusted look on his face.
"Yeah, it's really good you should try it." Olivia said as Fitz opens the door the pizza shop. "What kind of pizza do you like?"
"I'm boring, so just pepperoni and cheese or meat lovers. But I dip my pizza in ranch not blue cheese."
"Yeah, I settle for ranch if I can't get blue cheese but I always make sure I order an extra container of blue cheese when I order pizza"
As they approach the counter to order Fitz is looking at the menu on the screen and he see's something that intrigues him.
"Hey Liv, ... uh what's a garbage plate?" He asks looking at her with confused look. "Like is it a pile of garbage on a plate? Because, that is gross."
*Olivia chuckles* " No it's not a pile of garbage on a plate. A garbage plate is a cheeseburger or hot dog with fries, mac salad or baked beans topped with a meat hot sauce. It's pretty decent and will definitely keep you full for a while."
"Well, I am going to try it then."
*Laughs* "Okay then."
They are next in line and the cashier calls them up.
"How may I help you guys tonight?"
Fitz sticks his hand out signaling for Olivia to go first. "I'll have one slice of the Buffalo Chicken pizza with a side of blue cheese and a Coca Cola please."
"And for you, sir?" The cashier asked Fitz.
"I will take a garbage plate and a Coca Cola."
"Of course, would you like a cheeseburger plate or a hot dog plate?"
"Cheeseburger with baked beans and mac salad please."
After the cashier repeats their order to make sure she got everything correct, they go and take a seat in one of the booths.
Once seated across from each other Fitz links their hands together and Olivia gets that feeling in her stomach again and smiles.
"Whatcha smiling about over there?" Fitz asks giving Olivia's hand a slight squeeze.
"You." She responded with a big smile.

Hi all, I apologize that it has taken me so long to update. I worked a lot during quarantine since I didn't have school and my job was extremely short staffed (can't be short staffed when you work for a grocery store.) My school finally opened up again in September and so far, this year has been exhausting. I promise to try and write more frequently.
What were your thoughts on this chapter? I would love to hear them!
