"Fitzzz." Liv was in a fit of uncontrollable giggles. Fitz was buried deep under the covers, in between her legs. "Come out of there."
"No, I like it here." His muffled reply could be heard.
"Ow!" She roared with laughter. "Did you really just bite me?"
Finally he emerged from under the covers, laying on top her. "I like your thighs." He grinned mischievously.
"That doesn't mean you have to bite it."
"Would you like me to kiss it better?"
"No. I have to get ready for work."
"It's 10am."
"So?"
"You don't have to be in until 11."
"Don't get smart with me. I already called in late."
"For good reason." He kissed her throat and moved along to her lips, starting a full make out session.
They've been seeing each other for almost two weeks now but it consisted mostly of phone calls and texts. Liv was busy working on an important case which took up most of her time so this is only the second time they've really been intimate.
They were currently at Liv's apartment. Talia had an early class and so Liv asked Fitz to come over.
Pulling back from their intense kiss, Fitz smiled at her. "I can't believe you summoned me here."
"I didn't summon you, I asked...nicely." Her bright smile was making him weak.
"How is 'Get over here. Now' asking nicely?"
"That was after I was done being nice because you started teasing me."
"I like teasing you." He pushed his erection against her.
"No." She giggled adorably.
"What?"
"I can't go another round with that thing. Not now, not when I have to be at work in an hour."
"That thing" He asked with quirked eyebrows and a smirk then snuck his one hand underneath the covers to place his tip just over her entrance.
"Fitz.." Liv's breath hitched. "I've got to get ready for work."
"We can be quick."
"How quick?"
"How about I show you."
Liv bit her bottom lip. A quickie could do anyone any harm now could it?
"You better make sure I get to work on time." She said reaching for the nightstand to retrieve a condom and handed it to him.
Fitz made quick work of rolling the condom over his erection.
"I can't promise you that but I'll try my best." His grin changed into a look of lust as he slowly entered her. Liv grabbed hold of his shoulders and released a loud moan as his length filled her up making her back arch.
The room was filled with heavy breathing, desperate moans and eager grunts as Fitz increased the pace of each thrust. Olivia's hands unconsciously moved to his head and got lost in his hair. She pulled him towards her and kissed him aggressively. Fitz smiled into the kiss loving her feistiness.
He pulled out of her and navigated his face down to her breasts, complimenting each one with open-mouthes kisses making her squirm. His warm mouth around her nipples was something she never knew she needed so bad.
Making his way back up to her lips he pinned her hands above her head.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a throb between her legs.
"Satisfying you."
She was about to respond but his cock entering her made her shut up real quick. Fitz fucked her like crazy. Olivia breathlessly urged him on while being on the verge of an orgasm. His dominance was messing her up. The way he had her pinned down was such a turn on.
Liv's cries as she reached a thrilling orgasm made Fitz explode. His body shivered as he came.
They lay breathlessly next to each other. "Shit that was intense." He said staring down at the condom filled with come.
Liv followed his eyes downwards. "That...is a lot." She commented as he took the condom off.
"I mean..I haven't had sex in two weeks."
"I'd hope you haven't because that would mean that you were with someone else."
"Nope. No one else."
"This is the best sex I've had in my life. You are incredibly skilled."
"In your life?"
"No joke. You tire me out."
"You're welcome but that thing you did when you put your leg o-." He was cut off from finishing his sentence.
"Shut up I was in the moment. I don't even know what that was." Liv mustered up the strength to get out of bed. "Before you ask, no you're not joining me in the shower."
"Okay first of all, you should definitely do that thing again. Secondly, Olivia if we take separate showers you'll be late for work."
She stared at him. He stared back. She tried to look serious but his smile melted her. "Okay fine but we're not doing anything."
"We're not doing anything."
Liv darted him a serious look and he couldn't help but to laugh. "I won't even touch you. I'm just saving us some time by taking a shower together."
"Sure."

Olivia had a full and busy day when she eventually showed up at work but she felt revived with a new found sense of energy after starting her day off the right way so her hefty workload didn't bother her at all.
She just came from meeting with a client in the conference room when, Violet, her secretary stopped her.
"Miss Pope your mother called. She wanted to know if you're still joining them this weekend."
"Crap I forgot about that. Thanks Violet, anything else?"
"Yes, the Johnsons wants a meeting..preferably today."
"Ugh that family is going to drive me to alcohol, which one of their kids messed up this time?"
Violet chuckled and just shook her head. "You have free time between 3:30 and 4:15. Should I set it up?"
"Please before they start calling me on my cell."
"Okay. Well that's all for now."
"Thank you." Liv stepped into her office, placed the files she's been carrying on her desk and went to the staff kitchen to get some coffee.
"Hey Olivia." The associate attorney greeted her with a smile.
"Andre, hey."
"That coffee is fresh by the way."
"Thanks. I haven't really had time for lunch today, so this will have to do." She said as she poured herself a cup of the hot liquid.
"Those are the best days..when you work through lunch."
"It is?" She asked then brought the mug to her lips. Closing her eyes as the coffee ran down her throat.
"Yeah, well it is to me."
"Working on the right case where you can't even think about anything else..I guess."
"Of course. Hey if you need help or assistance of any kind on the Mendes case, I'd really like to get involved."
"Thanks Andre, If I need an extra pair of hands I'll let you know."
"Great.. Anyway, I've got to get back to work. Enjoy your coffee."
Liv responded with a friendly smile as Andre made his way out.
"You know he has a crush on you right?"
Liv jump a little at the voice appearing behind her. "Geez Lauren did you have to sneak up on me? And what are you talking about?" Lauren is a paralegal at the firm and one of Olivia's favourite people in that office.
"Andre has a crush on you, how have you not noticed?"
"Probably because I come here to work and nothing else."
"It's been a while since your friend came to visit."
"My friend?"
"The tall, good looking one with the dazzling smile."
"Are you participating in office gossip now?"
"Not at all, you know me."
"Good. I have to get back to work. Hey I need your help on something by the way, it's kind of urgent."
"Sure I always have time to help you."
"I have a meeting in about 10 minutes but I'll stop by your office as soon as I'm done."
"Okay."
Liv cleaned out her mug and went to get ready for her meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
After her meeting and discussing research with Lauren, Liv finally returned that phone call to her mother.
"Sorry mom I've been a little busy."
"I understand baby. So, will we be seeing you and your sister this weekend?"
"Yes of course. I'm leaving work at 2 tomorrow afternoon then we'll hit the road."
"Great, I'll let your dad know. Now get back to work."
"Okay bye mom, love you."
"Bye Livvie, love you too."
And then her busy day at the office continued.

"Hey stranger. I'm surprised you recognized me."
Fitz was on his way to the back of the restaurant when Talia spotted him and signalled for him to come over.
"Oh come on." He laughed. "Are you waiting on someone?"
"Liv. She texted to meet her here for dinner."
"Oh okay. How are you?"
"Great, I have a boyfriend now." She wiggled her eyebrows.
"So that's why you've been so scarce. What's his name and what does he do for a living?" Fitz asked sitting down opposite her.
"None of your business."
"Please tell me it's not Josh."
"Eww Fitz don't be weird."
"Josh is not 'eww that's my friend you're talking about."
"No he's not but still. I don't even know Josh."
"So who is it then?"
"Jeremy."
"See that sounds like code for Josh."
"Please leave."
"Maybe you should leave, it doesn't look like your sister will show up anyway."
Talia's gaze went over his shoulder.
"Her sister is here. Is this guy bothering you Talia?" Liv's voice brought an instant smile to Fitz's face and he got up, locking eyes with.
"Hi there."
"Hi."
"For your information, I wasn't bothering her." He smirked making her chuckle as she sat down.
"Talia where's my wine and did you order our food already?"
"I got here like five minutes ago Olivia calm down."
"I'm just so hungry I haven't eaten all day." She groaned. Fitz stood there silently and adored her cuteness.
"Dude you're standing here like our waiter." Talia teased Fitz.
"It was nice to see." He said dryly and left leaving the two sisters in a fit of giggles.
"Are you texting your boyfriend?" Talia asked with a mouth full of food.
Liv quickly finished typing and placed her phone down. "He's not my boyfriend."
"He should be if he can make you smile like that just by a text."
"Well he's not."
"Do you want him to be?"
"I don't know.. Don't you think it's too soon for me to get into another relationship?"
"Only you would know that Liv. How does he make you feel?"
"Unbelievably giddy." She said shyly and covered her face in her hands.
"That's so cuuute."
"Stop."
"You really like him."
"Now that I'm getting to know him better by the day, yes.. I'm liking him more and more."
"So when will I meet him?"
"Why do you want to meet him?"
"You've met Jeremy even before we officially started dating."
"I didn't ask to meet him."
"Shut up. Hey, what time are we leaving tomorrow?"
"I finish working at 2 so anytime after that."
"Cool. Why haven't you replaced your car yet? We could've had a lovely trip to Garden City but now we're gonna sit in complete silence in an Uber."
"I just don't get time."
"Excuses, excuses. You love using public transportation. Oh my god Chad would've pissed himself if he knew."
"Ugh can you not mention his name?."
"Hey we all go through bad boyfriends."
"Uhh I almost married mine."
"Thank god you didn't."
After having finished their meal the girls paid and left the restaurant.
Back at the apartment Liv just got out of the shower and was about to go to bed when Fitz's name flashed across her phone screen.
"Hi."
"Hi, sorry I didn't say goodbye earlier. I didn't wanted to interrupt your dinner."
"That's okay, so..how was your day?"
"After the morning I had, I'd say I had a pretty good day. How about you, how was your day?"
"Busy."
"That's what happens when you take the morning off to get freaky."
"Hey I needed that."
"Me too, I kinda might need it now.. I can't get enough of you."
"Oh really?"
"Literally just hearing your voice right now turns me on."
"You have hands, use it."
"That's just rude Olivia."
Olivia laughed heartily and got settled in bed. "Did you go see your sister earlier at the restaurant?"
"I went to see Ryan actually. He wanted to talk. He uh, his wife and him have agreed to start a family this year. They are both really excited to become parents. However she just had a miscarriage. They didn't even know she was pregnant to begin with so they're really struggling with it at the moment. It's so sad."
"Oh no.. that's, I can't even imagine what they're going through right now."
"Yeah it sucks but hopefully they'll get through this and when the time is right and they've both healed they will try again. But anyway, tell me more about your day."
"Nothing exciting happened after our morning together so..."
"I could come over there and have something exciting happen again."
"Don't you dare. Talia is here and she doesn't know about...this, yet."
"Okay fine, so when can I see you again?"
"I'm going to Garden City for the weekend."
"Visiting your parents. When do you leave?"
"Tomorrow around noon."
"So I won't be seeing you."
"You sound sad."
"I won't lie I am kinda bummed."
"Ugh I wish I could give you a big hug right now."
"Hey how are you gonna get there? To your parents house I mean."
"You know how." She chuckled knowing he's gonna offer to drive them in a matter of seconds.
"Liv.. I cou-"
"Stop. You don't have to drive me everywhere I want to go Fitz. You have more important things to do than to drive me up and down."
"Oh yeah, like what?"
"Work?"
"Not that important."
"But definitely more important than being my chauffeur."
"You're important Olivia." He sounded very sincere.
"Fitz.."
"Look okay, then how about you at least take my car?"
"Then how will you get around?"
"I'll use one of the company cars." Fitz answered nonchalantly.
"Why are you so damn nice!" She said smiling to herself.
"I just want you to be safe and comfortable.. Plus you're kinda cute."
She blushed. "Thanks Fitz and you're kinda cute too."
"Just tell me when to drop the car off tomorrow."
"No no I'll pick it up, please you're already doing too much."
"Okay fine, if it makes you feel better. Come to my office I'll be there all day."
"Okay."
"A kiss would also be appreciated."
"This is just all playing out in your favour isn't it?"
"Maybe but a kiss would benefit both of us."
"It would."
"Great then I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight Liv."
"Goodnight Fitz."

"Hello, I'm here to see Fitzgerald Grant, the lady at the front desk sent me to you." Olivia gave the secretary a friendly smile.
"Good day, Mr. Grant has people in his office right now, did you make an appointment to see him?"
"No.."
"And your name is?"
"Olivia Pope. Sorry, is he going to be long?"
"May I ask why you want to see Mr. Grant so urgently?"
Cindy's little attitude didn't go unnoticed by Liv. "It's personal."
"Of course it is." Cindy murmured under her breath but Liv could still hear her.
"Excuse me?"
"My boss, Mr Grant has given me strict instructions. Other than clients with appointments I should only allow his family and friends through to his office."
"How would you know I'm not a friend?"
"Your name isn't on my list."
"People make new friends quite often."
"Mr. Grant isn't just 'people'."
"So he's not just your boss but also your friend..is that why you know him so well?"
"We're not friends but I've worked here since day one so yeah, I know him and he trusts me."
"Oh..kay." Olivia really didn't get why this secretary was getting so snippy with her. "So, am I allowed to wait until Mr. Grant is available?"
"You might wait a very long time, today is just one of those days. Busy busy busy."
"I bet. I'll just be over here then." Liv said taking a seat on one of the chairs.
10 Minutes later two men in suits left Fitz's office with him following closely behind. Walking them to the elevator he made eye contact with Olivia on his way and they exchanged a happy smile.
When he came back Cindy spoke up before he could make his way over to Liv. "Sir, this lady is here to see you. She said it's personal."
"Yeah don't worry we know each other."
"Her name isn't on the list though. Actually neither is the other girl's who's been coming to see you so often, the younger one with the bright smile." Cindy was trying to get to Liv but she was unfazed and so was Fitz.
"The younger one.." He chuckled before continuing. ".. with the bright smile is her sister. Put their names on the list if it worries you that much." Fitz shut her down real quick then focused his attention on Olivia. "Hi, follow me."
Liv got up and followed him, he held the door for her then closed it once they were inside his office. Fitz leaned back against the door and took in her beauty. She was wearing a pants suit and she looked amazing.
"Your secretary is fucking rude." She said as she placed her bag down on his desk and turned to look at him.
"What?" Fitz asked amused.
"She's not very nice."
"Wait she's a nice person." He frowned but still smiled at her.
"She has an attitude." Liv ran her fingers through her hair and sighed.
Fitz sauntered over to her and pulled her into his arms. He gave her an affectionate hug then leaned back to lock eyes with her. "What did she say to you?"
"First she got all uptight because I didn't have an appointment. Then when I told her it's personal she went on a rant about how only friends and family is allowed to see you in your office and oh, the list which definitely does not have my name on it."
Fitz cupped her face and kissed her. Slowly, until she opened her mouth and their tongues started duelling. Sucking on her bottom lip he pulled back. "Wait here."
"Where are you going?"
"To have a word with my secretary."
"Fitz no don't."
"I'm not gonna fire her I'm just going to talk to her." He said walking out, not giving her a chance to talk him out of it.
"Cindy can I have a word with you?"
"Of course Sir."
"You weren't very receptive when Talia came to see me and now you acting the same way with Olivia, why's that?"
"Don't you think it's a bit unprofessional to have your 'lady friends' just waltz in here Sir?"
"Olivia is my friend, Talia is her sister. I've known them for a while and I care about them. My personal life is absolutely none of your business and the only one unprofessional here is you with your assumptions. And since when is it okay to have an attitude with our clients?"
"It's not. I'm sorry Sir it won't happen again."
"It better not. Just stick to doing your job and treat everyone that comes in here with respect."
Cindy had a look of regret on her face and nodded in agreement.
Fitz swung open his office door and found Liv standing by the window. Closing the door behind him he walked to stand behind her. "Admit it, my view is way better than yours." He said smiling.
"I'm not admitting to anything."
He grabbed hold of her hips, tugging her body against his. "I could always make you say it."
"I mean you could try but-" Liv gasped when she felt his lips on her neck. Heat scorched her body as he sucked on her soft skin.
"Fitz..." Biting on her lip she turned around in his arms. "We can't." Liv palmed her hands on his hard chest and pushed him back a little.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you Mr. Grant."
Fitz clasped their hands together. "So what are gonna do all weekend?"
"It's my parents anniversary tomorrow so we'll be celebrating with them."
"Did they ask you and Talia to come?"
"Yes why?" Liv frowned at his odd question.
"It's their anniversary, surely they would've wanted some privacy to have a little fun on their own."
With her mouth agape Liv hit him. "That's disgusting!"
"No it's not. What's wrong with your parents having anniversary sex?"
"Please just stop talking and give me your car keys so that I can leave."
Fitz chuckled loudly. "C'mon I'll take you down to the parking lot."
"You do know Talia and I will be eating so much food in your car right?"
"Oh man I should've known."
"It's really not that big a deal."
"Probably but I just don't like when people eat in my car."
"Well at least you won't be there to see it happening."
"You're just so smart huh? How are you gonna explain driving my car to Talia."
"It's totally normal to borrow a friend's car."
Fitz opened the door for her to walk out first. "So she's completely in the dark about us?"
"Not exactly. She knows I've been seeing someone, she saw the marks you left." Liv whispered as they passed Cindy.
"Cindy I'm stepping out for a minute." He told his secretary.
"Okay Sir. Goodbye Miss Pope."
"What did you say to her?" Liv asked surprised once they were in the elevator heading down to the parking lot.
"I told her what she needed to hear."
"Well it definitely worked, I didn't expect her to acknowledge me at all."
"She shouldn't be treating people like that, especially not you or Talia."
Liv wrapped her arms around his neck. "So serious." She placed a delicate kiss on his lips. "It's sexy."
"Don't make me take off your clothes in this elevator."
"I've never had sex in an elevator before." She kissed his sharp jawline.
"Olivia.." He groaned and she threw her head back in laughter.
"Sorry."
"That should definitely happen soon though."
"What? Elevator sex?"
"Yes."
"I don't think I'm that brave."
They reach his car and he hands her the keys. "Don't worry, whenever you're feeling brave and spontaneous just let me know"
"I'd probably have to be drunk then."
"Ooh I'd kill to see you drunk."
"I've been told that I get really emotional when I'm properly drunk. Like nonstop tears."
"That's amazing." He laughed. "I'm picturing drunk you right now sobbing uncontrollably over nothing."
Liv couldn't help but to laugh. "Shut up."
"C'mere." Fitz embraced her in a warm, hearty hug. "Drive safely and enjoy your weekend."
"Thank you." They held on for a minute until she stood back. "What will you be doing?"
"Work, go out with the guys tomorrow night probably and well yeah that's about it."
"Well have fun. See you..Sunday."
"See you Sunday." He opened the door for her to climb in then closed it again.
Liv rolled down the window and stuck her head out. "Kiss?"
"Oh yeah." He gave her a big smooch. "Alright off you go."
"Bye Fitz."
"Bye Liv."
xxx
"Sooo Fitz just gave you his car?"
"Yeah."
"Wow. I mean it's super nice of him."
"It is."
"I didn't know you guys were that close. I bet he wouldn't borrow his car to just anyone."
Liv made a right turn. "We're good. I'm a responsible person, he sees that, so it's not a big deal."
"So you guys hang out without me huh?"
"We do, just like you guys hang out without me sometimes."
"But I don't get to drive his car. Does your bae know you got a guy bestie?"
"Talia what does that have to do with anything?"
"Oh come on how would you feel if your boyfriend were driving his female friend's car?"
"Except I don't have a boyfriend."
"You do you just won't admit it. So does he know about your buddy Fitz?"
"Yes...he does."
"Does Fitz know about him?"
"Okay what's with all the questions?"
"I'm just asking." She said putting her feet up on the dashboard. "Look I probably shouldn't tell you this...or maybe I should."
"Tell me what?"
"Fitz kind off..has a thing for you."
Liv roared with laughter.
"Okay why are you laughing, I'm being serious. Don't ask me how I know, I just do"
"Like a crush?"
"Liv this isn't a joke, Fitz is a great guy."
"I know he is Talia."
"So maybe you should tell him that you're seeing someone."
"How's things with Jeremy?"
"It's great. He's so good to me. I'm really happy."
"That's wonderful Talia, really."
"Why do wanna keep your guy a secret when he makes you so visibly happy? Liv you've been smiling a lot more lately and you're so relaxed and shit."
"It's not that I want to keep him a secret I-- You know what you're right."
"I am?" Talia asked surprised.
"Yes."
"Um okay. So I get to know all about him?"
"You already know all about him." Liv smiled.
Talia had a confused frown on her face. "No I really don't."
"Pretty sure you do since it's Fitz."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME RIGHT NOW!?" She turned in her seat to face Liv.
"Oh my god why are you yelling? And no, I'm not."
"Y'all really fucking?"
"Can you phrase that a little different?"
"Excuse me I'm in a bit of shock right now. Wait but how? When?"
"Like almost three weeks ago."
"No shit! Really? He's the guy?"
"He's the guy." Liv was grinning all the way to her ears.
"This is amazing!! Damn so that mark on your thigh... Fitz is an animal."
"Okay stop."
"Look at you driving your boo's car and whatnot."
"You can shut up now."
"I'm genuinely happy for you guys You really had me fooled, you guys are slick."
"You're the one that ain't slick Miss Matchmaker, don't think I didn't see your devious little plans."
"Well it worked out just fine in the end for you didn't it?"
"It did. I like being around him. He makes me laugh, we go toe-to-toe against each other and I like that. He shows up at the firm and annoys me but in a good way."
"You got it bad sis."
"Maybe but I'm still a bit cautious. I mean what if I'm not ready for another relationship yet after everything I've been through."
"Your therapy helped you with those issues though."
"It helped me work out a lot of stuff yes but now this is real.. No hypothetical made up scenario, there is actually a guy who's beyond amazing and wants me for me. He's so great that I'm afraid I might over think this and expect him to turn out like all the others."
"He's not like other guys I can definitely tell you that. I've gotten to know him Liv, he would do just about anything for you."
"Yeah.." Liv said as she pulled into her parents driveway.
"Girls you're here!" Caroline pulled them both in for a hug.
"Hi mom. Where's dad?"
"Right here."
"Dad are you cooking?" Liv asked seeing him wearing an apron.
"Yes, I'm spoiling my babies with a lovely dinner tonight."
"Aww you're the best."
"What's with all the bags you're only here for the weekend."
"I have one bag. Ask your other daughter."
They all turn their gaze on Talia.
"What? I never know what to wear so I just packed some options."
"Did you take a cab?" Richard asked picking Talia's bags up from the floor.
"No Liv got her boyfriend's car." She said walking off with a mischievous grin.
"Please don't take her seriously."
"Livvie.."
"Mom we can talk about it later, okay?"
"Okay. Richard stop treating Talia like a baby she can carry her own bags upstairs." Caroline scolded her husband.
"She is my baby though darling."
"Dad, mom's right. You're spoiling her she's a grown woman."
"Talia get your butt in here!" Caroline yelled.
There's never a dull moment in the Pope house when the kids are home.

On Sunday afternoon the girls loaded their bags in the car and said their goodbyes to their parents.
"It was so good to have you two here. Please visit us more often you don't live that far away."
"Mom if we could we would but with work and Talia's classes it's a bit difficult."
"Yeah I know.."
"Hey, stop it lady we had a great weekend. I promise we'll visit again soon. I'm sure we can figure something out right Tali?"
"Of course." They both exchanged warm, loving hugs with their parents.
"You girls take care of yourselves there in the city okay?"
"Will do dad."
"You should bring Fitz with you next time."
"Mom come on." Liv groaned making everyone laugh.
"And Jeremy." Richard chimed in.
Talia pulled on her sister's arm. "Yeah okay Liv let's get going."
"Bye you guys!"
They arrived in Manhattan just after 4 and Liv drove straight to Fitz's penthouse. She already texted him that they were on their way.
"Hi." He opened his door for them.
Liv jiggled his keys in front of him. "Your car is still in one piece. You gotta take us home though, our bags are still in there."
"Hey Fitz what's good?" Talia grinned widely.
"Why do you look so happy?"
"She knows." Liv said happily.
"She knows? Ohhhh! She knows. That would mean that I don't have to wait for us to be alone to kiss you, c'mere." He pulled on her shirt and Liv stepped forward, gladly accepting an open mouthed kiss from him.
"Disgusting. The whole idea of the two of you together were cute and everything but you're just nasty."
Fitz look amused at the younger Pope before turning back to Liv. "Come on in."
"Thanks."
"So how was your weekend?" He asked hugging Liv from behind as Talia walked straight out to his balcony to look at the view.
"We had such a good time. Also, Talia might've told our parents about you."
"What about me?"
"That our...friendship has developed."
"Really?" He came to stand in front of her. "And how did that go?"
"Good I guess."
"Yeah?"
"I mean..they weren't upset or anything."
"Okay."
"My mother jokingly told me to bring you along on my next visit, but enough about that, did you work a lot this weekend?"
"No not really."
Talia came back to join them. "Your place looks amazing."
"Thanks Talia."
"Are you two done making out, I'd like to go home now? By the way it's so weird to see you looking so.. casual."
Fitz was dressed in sweatpants and a plain white v-neck.
"I can't wear formal clothes everyday you know."
"I was starting to think it is actually all that you wear all of the time." Talia joked.
"Hey do mind waiting just a couple of minutes? Jaden is sleeping upstairs I gotta wake him up and take him home so I'll drop you guys off on the way."
"Who's Jaden?"
"Oh, Julia's kid." He answered and jogged upstairs.
Fitz came back down carrying a cartoon backpack and a sleepy 6 year old in his arm. "So this is Jaden. Buddy can you say hi to the to nice ladies?"
Jaden slowly lifted his head while rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He stared at them. "Hello."
"Hi Jaden." Both Liv and Talia beamed at the sandy haired boy.
"He's usually a lot more chatty." Fitz laughed.
Liv smiled. "That's okay he just woke up."
"Alright let's get going, Talia there's a car seat below the staircase, could you grab it please." Fitz grabbed his house keys and followed them out.
"Jaden are you cool back there? You can talk to Talia she's basically a 6 year old herself." He joked as he put the car in drive.
"Wow Fitz that's really nice of you to say." Talia said dryly
He made it to their apartment building in no time. Talia had already gotten out to get their bags while Liv said goodbye to Fitz.
"Can I come back here after dropping him off?"
She smiled sweetly back at him. "Of course."
Fitz gave her one last peck. "Okay, see you in a bit."
On their way to his sister's house Jaden spoke up from the back. "Uncle Fitz?"
"Yeah buddy?"
"What's that lady's name?"
"Which one?"
"The one that sat in front."
"Her name's Olivia."
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"What do you know about girlfriends?" He asked with a smile.
"I know when you kiss a girl she's your girlfriend."
"Okay smarty pants, Olivia is my special friend."
"Is that like a girlfriend?"
"Uh yeah I guess so."
"Okay."
Jaden was wide awake once they got to his home. He skipped off ahead of Fitz as his mother waited for them by the door.
"Hey Jules, Jaden why did you run off without your backpack?" He held it out to him.
"Oops!"
"Are you not coming in?" Julia asked her brother who didn't make a move to enter the house.
"No I just dropped him off."
"Uncle Fitz has a special friend mommy."
Fitz's eyes were targeting in on his nephew.
"Really? How do you know?" She needed details and knowing her brother he was not going to be the one to give it to her.
"She was at the house and there was another lady." He made a pondering face. "I think they're sisters but Olivia is Uncle Fitz's special friend."
"Olivia?"
"Julia..." His plea fell on deaf ears as his sister questioned her son for further information.
"So what makes Olivia Uncle Fitz's special friend?"
"We took them home and then Uncle Fitz kissed her."
"Okay I'm leaving now." Fitz should've known Jaden would spill the beans. Kids can never keep anything to themselves.
"No you're not. Jaden, daddy is waiting for you inside." He took off and Julia turned her attention on her brother.
"Sooo.."
"I have to go."
"Going to see Olivia? Is this the same Olivia that I know?"
"Is that any of your business?"
"Fitz, is Liv your special friend?" Julia smirked.
"Our friendship has developed into something...more."
"Oh my god."
"It's only been a couple of weeks though so don't go running to mom or Ryan okay?"
"You sneaky dog. I didn't even know that you were friends to begin with. So this is a thing?" She exclaimed.
"I uh.. yeah." He answered with a smile.
"I'm so happy for you!" Julia enveloped him in a hug. "Please don't fuck this up? Olivia is freaking amazing."
"I know. She's almost perfect."
"Man you're so gone."
Fitz chuckled heartily. "I really have to go now."
"Oh yeah no of course, Liv's waiting. Go."
"Your son should learn to keep his mouth shut."
"He takes after his mother!" She yelled as he walked to his car.
Liv was all smiles when Fitz showed up at her door minutes later.
"You should've known he was gonna tell on you. Kids around that age blurt everything out." Liv giggled and climbed on top of him.
"What are you doing?"
"We're about to have some fun, unless you don't want to?" She whispered huskily against his lips.
Fitz cupped her ass. "Of course I want to but we don't have protection."
"I started on the pill just over a week ago. We're good."
Fitz groaned hungrily and started kissing her.

2 Weeks Later
"Okay why does it feel like we haven't seen you in months?" Amanda asked. Liv invited them over to hang out. Other than really missing her friends, she didn't feel like having another boring Friday night on her own.
"We've all been so busy though."
"That's true. So uh, I read that Chad is being sentenced next week."
"Yeah.. His lawyer contacted me yesterday. Chad wants to see me."
"Liv, tell me you're not going."
"You guys please, I don't need lectures right now. Talia and Fitz is already pissed at me but is it so bad that I just want to hear what he has to say?"
"One, who the hell is Fitz?? And two, Chad's a terrible person Liv he's done horrible things to you." Leslie exclaimed.
"I know that. It's just.. I guess I just want to know why he did what he did. Maybe he wants to apologize."
"Olivia just be careful. We still wanna know who Fitz is though."
"He's.." She started blushing like crazy.
"Ohhh my gosh!! You've met someone!! How long has this been going on?"
"Leslie can you relax.. And it's been about a month now."
"And we haven't even met him yet!? I'm disappointed Liv."
"Well he's mad at me now so you're probably not going to meet him anytime soon."
"So you're definitely going to see Chad? What if he doesn't tell you what you want to hear and hurts you all over again?"
"Can we talk about something else?"
The girls all share a look and nodded.
Liv spend all weekend catching up on work. Nothing important, she just didn't have anything else to do. Fitz still wasn't talking to her and conversations with her sister kept ending in an argument.
On Monday she left work early and took a cab to Fitz's company.
"Hey sorry I don't have an appointment but I really need to see Fi-- Mr. Grant." Liv said to Cindy.
"Oh, unfortunately Mr. Grant has already left. He won't be back at the office until tomorrow."
"Oh..okay." Liv sounded slightly disappointed. "Thank you."
"Sorry for the inconvenience. Have a good day." Cindy was a lot more polite now.
Olivia then took another cab over to Fitz's penthouse. She knocked a few times until the door opened.
"Hi."
"Shouldn't you be on your date with Chad."
"Fitz.." She pleaded his name. "Can I come in?"
He turned back and left the door open for her. Stepping inside, she closed the door behind her and followed him to the kitchen where he seemed to have been busy on his laptop.
Fitz started typing away on his laptop as Liv stood on the other side of kitchen island watching him. She placed her bag down on one of the barstools. "Can we talk?"
He stopped what he was busy with to look at her. "We've been 'together' for a month now and yet I don't even know what this is. I'm not here to force you into anything, but I also feel like this might just be a waste of time. I've told you that I wanted you and I was serious. You're cautious of getting serious with me and that's because of him, of what he did to you. Yet you chose to go and see him."
"I didn't go to see him Fitz and I'm not planning to."
"That's not what you said last week."
"I've changed my mind. You were right, I don't owe him my time.. I don't owe him anything. And I do want you, I want this..us."
"Then what are you so afraid of? I would never hurt you Olivia."
"I know that."
Fitz released a loud, tired sigh. "Look I have work to do.."
Liv rounded the island to stand next to him. "I'm sorry."
"You shouldn't be. He's your ex fiancé and I had no right telling you what to do so.."
"I'm sorry for the uncertainty of where you stand with me. I want a relationship with you Fitz it's not like I've been using you. It shouldn't have taken me this long to admit that."
"Did you just decide that because of our argument or do you actually mean it?"
"Fitz c'mon.."
"Sorry."
"So is it okay if I introduce you to people as my boyfriend?"
He didn't answer so she walked up behind him, wrapped her arms around his chest and hugged him close to her body. "Okay, you're still upset so I'll leave.." As she was about walk away from him he grabbed her by the waist and brought her to stand between his legs.
"No, don't go." He locked eyes with her.
"You don't even want to talk to me." Liv said with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry. I'm acting like a complete idiot. Yes, you may...introduce me as your boyfriend." He grinned up at her.
"I was foolish to even consider going to see Chad."
"But you didn't and that's all that matters."
"So you're not upset anymore?" She asked, playfully twirling his curls around her finger.
"I was done being upset when I started missing you...and that was on Friday." He chuckled. "Sorry for being such an ass earlier, I didn't mean to be so harsh I was just annoyed.."
"I've missed you too."
"I wanted to call you but after how we left things I figured you wouldn't want to speak to me."
"I thought the same the thing."
"How did you know I was at home?"
"I went to your office, Cindy said you had already left for the day."
"You look beautiful." Fitz complemented her. "I like this skirt on you."
Liv was wearing a nude pencil skirt with a white top.
"Thank you."
"Can I kiss you now?"
Liv smiled widely. "Please."
Their kiss was passionate and intense but Liv pulled away when Fitz's hands started searching for the zipper on her skirt. "I thought you had work to do?" She smirked.
"I have you to do." He got up and threw her over his shoulder, running upstairs.Her laughter and squeals echoing through the open space.
They were finally official.
