Fitz woke up a little later than his usual time. Ginger was actually the one who woke him up.
"Morning girl" he said lazily as ginger jumped up and down excitedly.
He stretched. He was wondering how they got to the bedroom, but then he realized the he woke up late last night and brought them in there.
He really didn't feel like getting up, but he knew he had to. He had a lot of important meetings to attend before he was off to the g8 and he also knew the press would get hold of the divorce being finalized.
He was in a really good mood from last night. He'd never seen Olivia so comfortable in their relationship and he was happy that she was happy.
He had never seen her initiate sex before, he was always the one asking.
He loved seeing her so aggressive and in charge, it turned him on to no end.
He laid in bed, running over the events of last night in his head till he finally found the resolve to get up. He threw on his underpants and headed to the living room.
He brought all the plates and wine glasses to the kitchen and washed them.
He picked up the pillows from off of the floor and tidied up the area.
He moved the coffee table back in place and threw out all the little candles that had all been burned out.
When he was done he went to take a shower.
When he was in the shower Ginger took the opportunity to wake Olivia up by licking her face and jumping up and down on top of her.
Olivia yawned.
"Morning Ginger, you just hate it when I sleep in huh." she yawned.
Ginger barked in agreement.
Olivia sat up.
Her body hurt, but in the way she liked, the way it always felt when fitz was done with her.
She began thinking about last night and started to blush.
She got out of bed and stretched. She was still completely naked when Fitz stepped out of the bathroom in just a towel wrapped around his waist.
His face lit up when he saw her, and it didn't go unnoticed by Olivia.
"Good morning beautiful." Fitz smirked as he walked over a planted a kiss on her lips.
"Morning Mr. president." she blushed.
She watched as Fitz's eyes moved up and down her body. She knew what that meant.
"Don't even think about." Oliva scolded.
"Today is my first full day of work and I don't want to show up winded."
Fitz shook the dirty thoughts that were going through his head. He decided to change the subject.
"You excited to be back, Ms. Pope." he said as he plopped down on the bed.
"Yea, I want can't wait to go back to O.P.A and start kicking ass again." she smiled.
Fitz chuckled.
"You're funny." he teased.
"I try, you know" she gloated
She was getting herself ready for a shower.
"Mhmm it's a shame you showered without me, we would've had so much fun in there." she goaded and then ran into the shower.
Fitz whipped his head up in excitement only to realize she was teasing him and then he plopped back down again.
"Not funny Olivia" he yelled so she could hear him.
He loved how witty she had been lately.
As she showered, he began to get dressed, he didn't rush.
She took a very long time in the bathroom.
When she came out her hair was curled in long wavy curls and her makeup was done, soft and natural the way she liked it.
She went over to her closet to pick something out for the day, she was excited to finally be back.
Fitz was fully dressed, except for his jacket and tie. He had an agent get their usual breakfast and he made coffee and tea in the kitchen.
He walked back to the room with a cup of tea for Olivia.
"Livie" he called.
"In here" she yelled.
He followed her voice.
She was in her closet with her back turned to him, putting an outfit together.
"Hey livie, I have your tea."
"Thank you" she said as she turned around to take it from him.
He was pleasantly astonished. He still couldn't get over how beautiful she was.
"Livie you look so gorgeous." he praised.
"I just can't get over your new look, it's really working for you." he raved
"Aww Thank you baby." she blushed.
He watched her as she drank her tea and picked out her outfit.
She ended up going with a a pair of white skinny ankle pants from Armani and white silk button down top from Stella Mccartney. She wore a Max Mara studios camel duster coat because she knew outside would be chilly. She paired it with her nude Christian Louboutins and her black Saint Laurent bag.
Fitz was in the living room playing with ginger. He was ready to go and just waiting for her.
She walked out into the living.
"Okay, I'm ready to go." she said nonchalantly.
Fitz gawked at her.
"What's wrong" she asked confused.
"Do you not see how great you look, I didn't know I was dating a supermodel." Fitz praised.
"Oh Fitz you're giving me a big head." she laughed.
They kissed and left to separate cars.
Olivia's day went pretty good. They mostly had PR cases to work on.
Around 11 am, Fitz called and asked her if he would join him for lunch in the oval.
She decided it wouldn't hurt even though she wanted to be careful about being seen with him because all the news outlets were reporting on the divorce and they were looking high and low for a story.
At about 11:45 she told Jake that she would be heading to the whitehouse. Which he already knew because Fitz had called him.
They went to her car and and he drove to the whitehouse. He couldn't stop staring at her and it made her uncomfortable. Usually when jake stared at her he was discreet. He couldn't wrap his head around how Fitz got a woman like her. He had always been jealous of how easy he thought Fitz had it, he was rich and pampered and good looking and didn't have to work as hard as him.
After about a week of working with Olivia, he installed surveillance cameras all over her apartment except for the bathrooms, he liked to be thorough when he guarded someone. In this case, he also wanted to get to know Olivia better, he couldn't do it by asking questions, so he watched her. He had been watching her and saw everything that happened last night. He pleasured himself to it and that was the real reason he couldn't stop staring at her, he often fantasized about her because he thought she was an incredible woman.
Once Olivia got to the white house, she headed to the oval. Mellie had been preparing to leave the residence for weeks, she was heading back to California. Olivia was walking through the hall when she passed Cyrus in his office, he called her.
"Liv!" she stopped
He ran out to the door of his office where she stood.
"Hey liv, I know we aren't in a good place right now but how are you doing?" he asked his voice was full of concern.
"I'm doing fine, cyrus."
She said flatly.
"Liv, Ella's christening is coming up and I know when we adopted Ella, we told you that we intended for you to be the godmother, I don't know if you still…"
"Of course I still consider myself her godmother." she cut him off.
"You know, I might not like you right now, but James still takes Ella to visit me every other week. I know her christening is coming up, I'll be there." She said matter of factly.
"Thanks Liv, it means alot." Cyrus said gratefully.
"Yea, well I didn't do it for you." she retorted.
As she was about to step off, Mellie stopped right infront of her.
Mellie's mouth dropped open.
Olivia was still going to leave when Mellie started talking.
"Olivia pope!" she sounded disgusted.
Olivia stopped and turned around but didn't say anything.
"It seems near death experiences agree with you, you look good, Of course now I see why my husband just couldn't wait to hand me those divorce papers, he couldn't wait to finally be with his whore" Mellie said through clenched teeth.
"That's enough" Jake said as he stepped between them.
"Mellie that was out of line, I think you forget that you no longer have any say what's goes on with Fitz and Olivia" Cyrus said.
Mellie looked at cyrus angrily and then stormed off.
"Enjoy california, I hear it's hot over there, bring sunscreen, bye Melody, whatever your maiden name is." everyone turned and looked when they heard Cyrus yell, Mellie was flushed and embarrassed as she walked back to the residence.
"Thanks for sticking up for me Cy, but this doesnt mean were buddies again." Olivia said softly.
"I figured, but liv, you shouldn't let her talk to like that." Cyrus said sternly.
"I know." she sighed
As she made her way to the oval.
"Thank you but you don't need to stand up for me, I can take care of myself."
She said to jake as they walked.
"Didn't seem like it." Jake said while looking straight forward.
She was going to reply but she decided to let it go.
When they reached the oval jake waited by the door as she entered.
As soon as she walked in, Fitz could tell something was off.
"Liv, are you okay."
"Yea, I just stopped by Cyrus' office"
"Why do you look like that, did he say something."
"No Cyrus was fine, Mellie decided to tell me off though."
"What did she say."
"Nothing, just forget it"
"Liv, what did she say"
"Fitz just forget about it."
Fitz called his agent stationed in the residence.
"Where is my EX-wife" Fitz said calmly.
The agent said something through the phone.
"Thank you Gary"
"Let's go"
He said as he headed out .
"Fitz what about the food"
He had a two paninis and ice tea laid out for them on his table.
"We'll eat when we get back"
"Fitz I don't want any drama, just let it go."
"No liv, I shouldn't talk to you like that and neither should she."
Fitz picked Olivia up and put her over his shoulder.
She squealed.
"Fitz let me down."
She was trying to be serious, but she couldn't stop laughing.
He put her down.
"Are you gonna walk then." He asked
"Fine" she said she she tried to stay keep a straight face.
They made their way to the residence. Jake tried to come but Fitz told him to stay put.
Once they got to the grand bedroom, they heard Mellie screaming at one of her maids.
They walked into the the room.
"Can we have the room." Fitz said to the maids.
They scurried out.
Olivia mentally prepared herself for all the names Mellie was about to call her.
"What the fuck is your problem?" Fitz asked with an attitude.
My problem is that you couldn't even wait till I left the white house to bring your …."
"Do not let the word leave your mouth Mellie." Fitz cut her off.
"Today is the last time you will speak to her like that." Fitz warned.
"I can speak to her however I want to speak to her."
"I suppose you could try, go ahead and do it, I will walk down to the press room and tell the country who Teddy's real father was or should I tell them the real reason he died."
Fitz said coldly.
"You wouldn't"
"I would and you know I would" Fitz warned.
They stared each other down for a few moments.
Olivia felt very uncomfortable seeing them face off like that.
"Fine, you and … Olivia, have a nice life together, I hope I never have to see either of you again, but I know I won't be that lucky." Mellie stormed out.
"We won't be that lucky eitherl" Olivia teased loudly.
Mellie grunted like a spoiled child and slammed the door behind her. Fitz bellowed out laughing.
"Good one." Fitz mocked.
They headed back to the oval office
Olivia couldn't help but love that Fitz stood up for her like that.
They ate lunch and laughed and talked until Olivia headed back to the office.
She was excited for Fitz to come over later in the night, because he would leave for the g8 summit for 2 days then he had do a tour for a week throughout Asia. He would leave early in the morning for the airstrip and she wasn't looking forward to missing him for almost 10 days.
