They sat there in silence for a very awkward minute.

Fitz decided to go first.

"Hello Olivia," he said calmly.

She ignored his greeting. She had been looking everywhere but at him. But even so, she could tell his body was different, he seemed bigger. His muscles were way more defined and they could barely be hidden under his shirt. She could feel his presence. She looked down at her nails nervously, it was getting more awkward by the minute.

Her phone kept buzzing, It was jacob, he had been calling her non stop, since he got escorted out of the restaurant. She picked up her phone to answer, but Tom grabbed it as soon as she attempted to accept the call. Tom declined the call.

"You can't do this, you can't keep me here?" She said softly.

"Why are you here with senator Shaw?" Fitz asked ignoring her plea.

He could barely look at her because of how beautiful she was.

"I was on a date with him," she said matter of factly.

When she said that Fitz looked right at her. He still couldn't believe how much she had changed and it was taking all the self control he had not to grab her up and kiss her hard. He had an inner battle between being angry about defiance, being jealous at the fact that she was here with Shaw and lusting after her because she looked so damn amazing.

"A date, you're dating?… Is that what you're calling it. You lost your big fish, so you start at the bottom and think you can fuck your way back to the top again. Are you gonna run his presidential campaign next and make sure he wins, like you made sure I won. Maybe you'll be a wife this time and not a mistress," he spat.

She sat there eyes full of water, lips quivering, feeling utterly humiliated. She wanted to leave, she got up to leave but Tom wouldn't let her so she sat back down. She didn't know what to do, which was unusual but everytime Fitz started talking to her like that, it just did something to her. She couldn't fight back, she felt small.

"I don't know what I did to make you hate me so much," her voice cracked with emotion, "but this is too much, you've made it clear that you don't want me, that I was just some whore to you, I understand that but you can't treat me like this, it's cruel and wrong. Why are you doing this, what did I do," she said, wiping her eyes.

For the first time since Verna's funeral Fitz he felt sorry for the way he treated her. To see her crying like that, didn't make him feel good and was actually sorry but he felt like he could back down until she admitted her part in defiance.

She looked at him. She could tell he heard her because of the pained look on his face.

"Olivia, don't act like you don't know what you did in this," his voice was angry and full of emotion, "You got together with Cyrus, Mellie, Verna and Hollis and you played your part in defiance, do not lie to me," he was almost yelling.

"Defiance? I don't know what you're talking about Fitz," she defended.

"You know, if you're going to sit here and act clueless, then I have nothing else to say to you."

Fitz was seething. He couldn't believe she insisted on lying so much. He looked at Tom.

"Give her the fucking phone back Tom," he said flatly.

With that he got up abruptly and his crew quickly escorted him out of the restaurant.

Olivia sat there more confused, angry and hurt that she had ever been.

After a while, she heard staff making their way back into the restaurant. She gathered her things and made her way out. She saw that Jacob called her 15 times, but she wasn't in any shape to talk to him tonight, so she decided to call him tomorrow with some lie she would make up to explain why she never came out of the restaurant.

She got in a cab and it dropped her right in front of her apartment. She was about to head into the building but she decided to sit on a bench in the park across the street from her apartment just to get some air and think.

After a quick drive Fitz arrived at the oval office. He needed time to think. He was really conflicted about Olivia. On one hand he was angry about defiance and on the other hand he felt terrible about the way he had been treating her. He still was very much in love with her, no matter how much he tried to tell himself otherwise. He paced back and forth trying to decide what to do. After about half an hour, he decided to no matter what she did, she didn't deserve the way he was treating her. He also knew he had no right to be jealous over her date with Shaw, because they weren't together and he was married. Sometimes he just lost all sense of control and rationality, when it came to her. Something he knew he need to stop doing.

He called Tom and told him to bring the car around.

"Sir, what's the destination." Tom asked.

"I'm going to see ms. Pope."

After about 45 mins of sitting in the park by herself, Olivia decided to go home. Being outside did her some justice, her eyes weren't as puffy and red anymore but she was still very sad from dinner earlier.

When she got to her floor, she could hear Ginger, the teacup maltese she bought a few months ago, barking. She was very tiny but her bark said otherwise. Olivia loved that about her, that's why she picked her out of the lot.

As soon as Olivia opened the door, Ginger greeted her, she played at her feet for a few seconds and then ran over to her bed and layed down, she seemed content to go back to bed.

Olivia dropped her purse on the couch and then after a few moments, she heard a knock on her door.

She wondered who would show up at her apartment so late it was almost 10pm, she wasn't expecting anyone. She wiped her eyes with her hand, just to make sure nothing was there.

She cleared her throat, "Uhmm Who it is?" she was still sniffling.

No one answered. They just knocked again.

She looked through the peephole. Her stomach dropped for the second time that night.

"Go away," she said loud enough for him to hear. Her voice was still cloudy so he knew she had been crying.

"Please open the door."

"No, I hate you and I don't ever want to talk to you ever again," she said loudly.

"Olivia please open the door and let me in so I can apologize to you," he said loudly.

She pondered for a few seconds and decided to open the door.

When she opened the door, Fitz saw her standing there. He looked into her eyes and saw how sad they were. He knew she was been crying and that he was the reason for it. He became so overwhelmed with emotions; love, lust, anger and guilt, that without thinking he reached forward and cupped his hands around her face, his index finger behind her ear and his thumb rubbing the tears flowing down her cheeks.

He kissed her passionately and deeply. He expected her to push away but to his surprise, she kept her hands loose around his waist and joined in the kiss.

He pulled back from the kiss and started peppering her with kisses while he whispered how sorry he was and then he deepened the kiss again.

She couldn't believe he was kissing her. She knew she should've stop him, but it felt exquisite to feel him like that. To feel his tongue driving in and out of her mouth, his strong hands holding her face. She couldn't stop him because she didn't want to. It had been months since she had seen or touched him before tonight and as much of an asshole as he was she missed him. She ached for him.

He dropped one of his hands from her face and wrapped it tightly around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

At this point he had a full blown erection and he could feel his precum spilling down his shaft. When he pulled olivia closer to him she felt his erection pressing in her stomach too. She moved her hands from his hip and drop them so she could ease her coat off. He spinned her around so her back was facing her bedroom and began walking her to towards her bedroom. He could hear her heels clicking every time they hit the floor and it only aroused him more. She was so sexy and so perfect. He reach the room and walked her to the bed. He eased her on to the bed gently. She sat on the edge of the bed, her feet touched the floor, she used her elbow to prop herself up.

He took his jacket of in one swift movement. He then leaned forward and kissed her while he unbuttoned his shirt.

She allowed herself to gaze upon his body and she ran her hands up and down his torso . He was way more muscular than she realized, his abs were more defined, his biceps and triceps were bigger. She roamed all over his body until the landed at his belt and began to undo it. Once she undid the belt, his pants dropped and then she slowly pulled his boxers down to reveal his swollen and erect penis.

She always knew he was big, the only problem was that she hadn't been with him or anyone else in two years, she worried that it might hurt, but she knew that Fitz would be gentle or at least she hoped he would be, she had no idea who the man standing in front of her was or what he was capable of anymore.

With one swift motion Fitz stepped out his pants and kicked off his shoes, he was now completely naked. Fitz reached under her mini dress and pulled her red lace thongs down her legs. He pulled her dress over her head and then he admired her body completely naked. Her body was perfect. She was toned, her waist was smaller and she was leaner.

She saw him looking at her body with extreme lust and hunger in his eyes. She spread her legs as wide as she could. She used her index finger and motioned for him to come to her. When she opened her leg, he could see fluid dripping down her center. He couldn't wait anymore.

He slowly guided himself in her. She let out a loud gasp. Her nipples hardened at the contact and she could feel the goosebumps rising all over her body.

He slowly drove himself in and out, her tightness was driving him crazy, he threw his head back and let out a loud grunt.

She closed her eyes and allowed his touch to take over, the erotic feeling that came over her was indescribable.

Olivia's insides began to tingle as Fitz increased his speed. She moaned softly but the sensations were overwhelming her.

She grabbed the sheets and arched her back.

"Fucckkk!" she she screamed in between moans.

Fitz was relentless, he kept increasing his speed.

Her moans became louder and more erratic and Fitz crashed his mouth against hers, kissing her hard.

She let go of the sheets and wrapped her arms around his neck as tightly as she could, holding on for dear life.

"Fitz baby, don't stop, please don't stop," she panted.

Fitz had his forehead against Olivia's so he could look directly in her eyes as he thrusted into her and he could feel her breath on his skin as she moaned.

"Cum for me baby, cum for me," Fitz whispered in her ear.

Her body started to quake. She tried to to take slow deep breaths to keep her orgasm at bay but every time she inhaled Fitz would feel her walls tighten around him and it brought him over the edge. He started to thrust into her as hard as he could and that did it. Olivia threw her head back and surrendered to her orgasm. As soon her orgasm began, Fitz's did as well.

He looked at her and saw a single teardrop escape her eye. He kissed her deeply and wiped it away as they both came.

They were both spent, but Fitz needed more of her. He took a few deep breaths and felt his erection forming again. He flipped her around and bent her over on all fours. She spread her legs so he could have a perfect view from the back. He grabbed her ass and then reached his hand around and started massaging her core.

He could hear her soft moans. He used his other hand to enter her from the back with two fingers. He heard her screaming into the sheet and felt himself growing harder as he watched her mannerisms.

He pulled out his fingers and entered her with his erect penis. She felt sensational. All he could was throw his head back and pump in and out of her with all his force. He could hear her screaming his name and begging him to make her cum. He grabbed both her hands and pulled towards his chest. He used one hand to hold both her hands in place and then used his free hand to wrap around her to pull her face towards his so he could kiss her as he rammed her from behind.

She started to tremble and he felt her insides tighten. She screamed into his mouth as she came and he followed shortly after.

They were both out of breath. She could feel him pull out slowly and then she felt his cum, dripping down her legs. She had to admit the fact that she like having a part of him inside her, when they finished having sex.

Fitz dropped himself on his back on the bed beside her. He let out a sigh. Then he grabbed her and turned her over and pulled her close to him in the honeymoon position. He had one hand around her waist and the other cupping her cheek.

He kissed her softly, He didn't pull away for a while. They laid there in silence until not long after they both fell asleep.

FItz woke up at 6:30 the next morning to the sound of a dog barking. Olivia was still sound asleep. He got up and to his surprise he saw a teacup maltese on the ground barking. FItz had no idea Olivia had a puppy. He put on his boxers and then bent down to get a better look at the puppy.

"Hey cutie, when did you get here" FItz said as he rubbed ginger's belly and played with her. Ginger stopped barking and laid on her back so Fitz could rub her belly.

"Hey girl, hey girl," Fitz cooed at ginger.

Olivia turned and heard Fitz playing with ginger and with that she woke up. She laid still as she thought about whether or not to fake sleep so she could avoid any conversation with Fitz or get up and face the music.

She decided to fake sleep.

Fitz headed to the bathroom and turned on the shower. He thought maybe it would be best to shower at Olivia's so that once he got to the white house he could just change and get to work.

While Fitz was in the shower, Olivia thought about what happened last night. She regretted it. How was she going to get over him if she kept sleeping with him, especially after the way he'd been treating her. She felt herself being pulled into him again. Like all the progress she made over the last few month just disappeared into thin air. All she could think about was his hands all over her body and how good it felt to feel him inside her.

By this time Ginger had managed to climb her way unto the bed and cuddle beside Olivia.

Fitz stood in the shower thinking about the night they had. He didn't regret a second of it. If anything all it did was make him like an absolute idiot for behaving the way he had been behaving for the last 8 months. He decided he needed to get to get bottom of this whole defiance thing once and for all. He made a mental note to make sure he set time aside to talk to Cyrus.

Olivia didn't hear the shower running anymore so she knew he would be coming out any second. She closed her eyes and covered most of her face with the blanket.

She heard when Fitz walked out of the bathroom he stopped by the bed and started to pick up the pieces of his clothing that were on the floor and get dressed.

"I'll be taking these," she heard him chuckle to himself and she wondered what he was talking about.

He took her red lace thongs and stuffed them in the pocket.

She heard him walk over to her side of the bed. Her heart began to race.

When Fitz walked over Ginger jumped up and began to pant.

"Hey girl," he said as he pet her.

He kneeled down by the bed and reached under the blanket and took her hand and kissed it.

Her heart began to flutter.

"I love you Livie, so much and I'm so so sorry," she could hear the emotion in his voice.

With that he got up and left. When She heard the front door open and close, she knew it was safe to get up.

She got teary eyed. She was so confused on one hand Fitz was sweet and perfect and on the other hand he was a total asshole, she didn't know what to do but she knew that pretty soon they would have to have a conversation about what happened last night and she really wasn't looking forward to it.

She was deep in thought she didn't even notice when Ginger jumped and and started licking her face.

"Gingerrr," she giggled while she rubbed her back.

"Come on, let's go get tidied up and then take you for a walk."

Once she stood up she realized how sore she was and she blushed because she loved how it felt to be sore because of him.

She took a hot shower and threw on a pair of black yoga leggings and a sports bra with her running sneakers and headed out with Ginger.

First she stopped at her favourite cafe and grabbed a flat white latte and then walked Ginger over to the park.

Fitz got back into the residence undetected and changed his clothes. He kept Olivia's panties in his pockets when he changed.

He went to the oval office to start his daily briefings. He instructed Lauren to have Cyrus come and see him once he got there.

About an hour later Cyrus walked into his office.

"Good morning sir, you wanted to speak with me?" Cyrus asked curiously.

"Good morning Cy, please have a seat."

Cyrus sat down.

"Tell me about defiance," Fitz said sternly.
