Mellie was disgusted at what she saw on the dance floor. Fitz was basically having sex with some black girl on the dance floor. She looked familiar but couldn't place her. She was letting him have his fun but he would be back to being hers tomorrow. She was just waiting for her opening.

Liv and Fitz head off the dance floor for some air.

"If they grind any harder they are going to start a fire," she says looking at Abby and Harrison who have stopped dancing to the music and have found their own rhythm.

"It's good seeing you again Livvie P."

"You too G3, I've missed you… I mean I've missed hanging out with you."

"It's okay to say you missed me because I feel the same." He says jokingly but looking in her eyes making her ears warm from his intense gaze. "Drink?"

"Yes please," after getting the bartenders eye she turns back towards Fitz, "so last I heard around the grapevine was you were engaged to Mellie."

"God no! We did date but she started telling people I proposed, she even went out and bought a ring to show people."

"Shit that's crazy. She seemed nice back in school."

"Tell me about it. I broke things off the second I found out. She flipped out and then the next day she acted like nothing happened. It was kind of creepy."

"Well you picked a crazy one."

"That's not even the bad part; I moved here with Harrison and started work 2 days later she was working there too."

"Sounds like you have a grade A stalker."

"How about you weren't you with that Jack guy?"

"Ughh it was Jake. Hey you want to get out of here so we can stop shouting at each other?"

"Sure want to get something to eat

"Now you're speaking my language." All of a sudden she feels her stomach growl at the mention of food.

"What about those two?"

"They'll be fine, but I have to go tell her I'm leaving with you so she doesn't freak out."

Fitz can't help but watch her walk away. She has so much sex appeal in her walk but confidence too. That body of hers made him think of all the things he would love to do to her. He's snapped out his fantasy when he feels a hand on his shoulder and the voice he could only compare to what glass to a chalk board would sound like.

"Fitz, funny seeing you here."

"Mellie."

"What are you doing standing here by yourself? Why don't you come with me I have a table."

"I'm not by myself." Rolling his eyes

"I know that much but Harrison looks busy."

"Look Mellie...

"Want to dance?"

"Actually I'm heading out." Hr states in clip tone hoping she will get the picture and leave him alone.

Pouting her lip out and wiggling her eyebrows, "come on dance with me, one dance. I'll make it worth your while."

Liv is getting closer and he has completely shut Mellie out. She doesn't see Mellie at first but when she gets in front of Fitz she sees her and her not so welcoming smirk. Fitz wanted to get as far as he could from Mellie. Looking at Liv and walking out of reach from Mellie.

"You ready?"

"Yea I don't think they even heard me but she made small eye contact so who knows."

She looks over and squints at Mellie.

"Mellie?"

"Do we know each other?"

"No I just remember you use to date Fitz back in college."

"Hmm I don't remember you if you'll excuse us we are…"

"No we weren't anything. See ya Mellie." He grabs Livs hand and takes her towards the exit

"That was awkward." He just gives a small grunt still holding her hand.

"Come on I know a hole in the wall diner not too far from here." What she didn't plan on how drunk she actually was making it hard to walk in her heels. They barely made it around the corner before she almost ate it. Fitz kept a tight grip on her hand but she was stumbling around. Stopping he kneels down.

"What are you doing?"

"Just get on my back."

"No I'm fine. I can do this?"

"Livvie you look like a baby giraffe learning how to walk."

"Wow thanks." Knowing she was doing a horrible job at walking she agrees.

"I hope I'm not heavy. Here goes to praying my ass doesn't hang out this dress."

She hops up on his back.

"Light as a feather but I kind of wish I could see if your ass is hanging out."

"I bet you do."

"I do it's a lovely ass." They walk a few more minutes until they come to the diner. He lets her down off his back and grabs her hand to go inside. Once seated Liv already knows what she wants.

"Do you come here a lot?

"Not much but what else do you order when your drunk besides a juicy cheeseburger and a butt load of curly fries with ranch and a vanilla shake."

"I agree with everything except the shake. I like chocolate better."

"Since I'm drunk I'm I have a bit of liquid courage. So are you trying to tell me you like chocolate girls?"

"You can take it that way, but I'm not saying I don't. I like all flavors but chocolate has always been my favorite." Sending her a wink.

The waitress comes over with a big smile on her face. She doesn't even look at Liv to ask her order she's to busy undressing and trying to flirt with Fitz.

"What can I get you?"

"We will have 2 cheeseburgers, an order of curly fries, with 2 shakes."

"What kind of shakes?" Liv decides to have a little fun with the waitress she is still being rude and staring at Fitz.

Leaning over she grabs his hand, "1 vanilla and the other chocolate right babe."

"Yes sweet baby." The waitress looks stunned that he answered her back that way. Throwing the waitress a big smile Liv turns back to Fitz.

"She was rude. She was basicaly undressing you with her eyes and ignoring me."

"Jealous?"

"Dream on. Hey remember that party back in college?"

"You mean the one where we were eating each other's faces and I said I like you and you ran like a bat out of hell?"

"That's the one."

"What about it?"

"I was just thinking about it. And how I owe you an apology."

"It was a long time ago, don't worry about it."

"But I do and I'm sorry."

"Apology accepted."

"Let's play a game. 21?"

"Just like old times, same rules?" She nods head. "Ladies first?"

"Did u really miss me?"

"Yes," Fitz answers back with no hesitation

"Are you single?"

"Yes sir."

"Can I tell you a secret?"

"Yes."

"Can I tell you one?"

"Yes."

Liv knows it can be the liquid courage talking but its helping her in this moment.

"I've had a crush on you forever."

"Well good because I've had one on you since I saw you."

Their food arrives and they dig in. Liv raises her shake towards him to do the same.

"Here to having crushes on good friends."

"Here's to hoping we become more than friends." Sending her that oh so charming smirk.

After they eat and talk more Fitz pays their bill and they walk back out to the world. Liv sobered up so she can walk again. The conversation flowed freely on the way to her apartment. They return back to the game of 21.

Fitz completely sober asks, "Can I kiss you?

"Hey it's my turn... I think."

"Answer the question Livvie."

"Maybe."

He stops in front of her and gazes in to her brown eyes. Leaning down without touching her at all he whispers in her ear if he can kiss her. He sees her shiver and smirks. Who said chivalry was dead. They might have bumped and grind on the dance floor but this was on another level. She reaches up on her toes and ghosts her lips against his. They both feel a shift in themselves; it feels like they are able to breathe and were complete with each other. Wanting more Liv presses her lips fully against his. Taking that as a queue he lifts her up in his arms and brings her up to him. They stay that way till air is crucial for them. Placing one more kiss on her lips he opens his eyes. He can feel heart on his chest he has her that close to him. He smiles at her and she smiles back. Wanting to not let this moment go Liv wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him in for a slower more tender kiss the passion fueled one before. She can taste his shake on his tongue. This kiss reminds her of those years ago at the party where he was taking his time with her and learning and tasting her mouth. She moans into his mouth when he takes her lip in between his teeth.
