Liv was walking into the building thinking about how it was finally Friday and she was ecstatic that her weekend was here. She started working at her new job four days ago and the people have been so nice to her and Jake was a fun boss. She didn't tell her siblings that she was let go from her job because so much has been going on. And plus she didn't want to ruin Abby's birthday because it was supposed to be all about her. She started thinking about her date with Elijah...Wait was it really a date? No it was just a coincidence that they had to share a table and ended up having an insightful entertaining conversation. She started smiling and breaking her out of her reverie with a harsh bump was a woman on her way to the employee lounge or otherwise known as the hangout spot.
"OMGosh I'm sorry I didn't mean to bump you I wasn't paying attention", Liv said.
"No way, say it ain't so... Little Libby Pope is that you?"
"Yes. Wait a minute. If it isn't Tracy G aka Tray Ray my best friend since diapers? Come here!" They embraced one another while still in shock.
" How you doing Lib's?"
" I can't complain just staying focused on working here. Where were you I haven't seen you here. How you doing?"
" I'm doing great, I haven't been in because my baby was sick that's why."
" Baby?! We have to catch up. We'll go to lunch on our break, my treat."
" Okay I'm down see you later Liv."
Olivia started daycare at 1 because her mommy had to go back to work. When her mommy dropped her off on her first day she became instant friends with Tracy who was also her next door neighbor. They were friends ever since. One day Liv was about 6 years old when Tracy family had moved away to New York because her dad was pursuing a better paying job. The girls were devastated because they didn't want to separate. Everyone knew they were like Velcro. They both cried their eyes out but promised to call each other everyday. When Tracy arrived in New York she didn't like it because she had to adapt to a new environment. After a while she started to like it. Soon daily calls turned into weekly calls then every other week. Before they knew it they had lost communication. Tracy was a dark skinned beauty with with thick short black hair and her body was like Liv's but alil thicker at the hips. She had big pillowy lips and a cute button nose with nice cheekbones and beautiful chestnut brown eyes. She had definitely grown up from lil Tray Ray.

Entering McDonald's the girls were laughing at something that happened on their way there. After getting their food they sat down and began to eat. Liv decided to start the conversation off.
" So how have you been?"
" Well it's been 17 hrs since I've seen you so let me start from the beginning. When I first got to the city to was mad because I didn't have my best friend (making a pouty face causing Liv to laugh). Anywho after a while I started to adapt. Now losing communication with you wasn't my ideal. A lot was going on because the job lasted for alil while. My dad had to find new work so financially we were in a bind. Fast forward to my last year of high school I had the sexiest chocolate man with a hot body and we were dating for a while. Graduation night I gave him my virginity. We went off to college so in love to the same school together and everything. One day I went to the doctor and she told me I was pregnant, 8 weeks to be exact. I couldn't believe it. I went immediately to tell Garren ( that's his name) what was going on. I was thinking of ways I could surprise him you know little cute ways to show him that he's going to be a daddy. I had got cute little shirts and I was going to make the dinner you know baby carrots, baby back ribs, everything that had pertained to a baby. I ended up finding him with one of my floor mates at my dorm room having sex. Liv you couldn't imagine the pain and hurt I felt when I saw my one true love giving a stranger what was supposed to be mines and only for me. I was livid with him so I took a couple of days to cool off then told him. He had the nerve to say that he wasn't ready for a kid. I was so through with him that I avoided him ever since and I've never seen him again. I stayed in school while I was pregnant and got a job so I can support myself and my baby. I felt like such a disappointment to my parents but they NEVER made me feel that way. I guess I was more hard on myself then them. I couldn't believe that I was gonna be a 19 yr old single mother. After I had the greatest gift Megan Allison Garnett I never gave a guy the time of day. It's been me and her ever since. She's my best friend, my mother at times (giggling) and the BEST company ever. My parents had been super supportive throughout everything. Once I graduated I worked for 2 years out in NY. They called me about this job and here I am. But enough about me how is my best friend?"
" Wow well I have been doing good. I continued on to college in DC. My last job got shut down so I just started this one this week so far so good. Abby just turned 18 and Huck is 17 they're seniors and baby sis Quinn is 15 and a sophomore. My babies are growing up."
" OMG how is Aunt Rosie doing? You know I am her favorite (chuckling). I've got to come by and see her today. ( looking at Liv sad face she knew something wasn't right) What happened Libby?"
Getting teary eyed Liv said, " My mom passed away 2 yrs ago. I really don't want to talk about it."
Tray knew that her friend was hurting so she decided to change the subject. " I'm sorry Libs and I totally understand. Now since I haven't been getting any tell me about your love life. I'm living vicariously through you. Who's the guy? ...wait or girl I don't know I haven't spoken to you in a long time. But I'm not judging you if it is a girl."
Blush filled Liv's cheeks. " First of all I'm strictly man all the way straight. I've never been attracted to a woman EVER. I mean to each its own but not for me. By the way I don't have anyone."
" Ahhh but you like someone. I can tell by how hard you blushed you definitely have a crush on someone."
" I DO NOT repeat DO NOT have a crush on anybody. I'm more focused on my job and family, thank you very much."
" Yeah okay Liv I'll be the judge of that. You don't have to tell your best friend. I'll figure it out on my own."

Finally Liv was walking into the gym ready to work out. She decided to start on the treadmill first since she hated running. She had on black leggings that hugged her bottom perfectly, black and purple Jordan's and a purple sporty fitted tank top with her hair on a high bun. She turned on her playlist and started running. After 30 mins she started looking around the gym to see where she'd go next. Her eyes landed on Elijah lifting weights in the corner. Mesmerized by his muscles she ended up falling off the treadmill making a loud noise. Everyone turned and looked at her like she was absurd. Before she could get up a strong hand pulled her up.
" I had it you know. I didn't need your help getting up but thank you."
" You're always so feisty Gabby."
" I'm not feisty I'm just alil spicy sometimes for your info. You can go I need to do my squats now."
" How about I help you out?"
" How about no? I know how to do this." Liv was so nervous that when she started doing her squats her legs weren't straight and she was stiff because Fitz was watching her.
" Just let me help you and stop being so stubborn."
Liv gave in because Fitz gave her the most adorable pout and she giggled relenting, " C'mon big baby."
He went behind her and held her stomach to make sure that her core was strong. Then he turned her feet alil straighter and started doing the squats right along with her. Liv felt his hard abs and his treasure on her lower back. Between her legs began to ache and she started to totally lose it because this gorgeous man had his hands all over her body. She was about to back up as her resolve was weakening. She wanted to feel his body on hers. Saved by the chime on her phone she saw a picture message come up with a chocolate baby girl with two big curly puff puffs.
" I thought you said you didn't have kids."
" I don't and why are you looking at my phone Mister?", she said playfully poking him on his chest.
Looking at her beautiful makeup less face he couldn't help but be captured by her flawless skin and beautiful features.
" Well I couldn't help but glance that little girl is extremely gorgeous."
" Why thank you. That's my best friend's daughter Mr. Nosey Roley Poley Oley."
" You're adorably annoying and corny do you know that?", he said walking into her space.
" I've never heard that before in my life", she responded while moving in closer to him with a strong desire to kiss him. She couldn't take it anymore so she leaned in grabbing him by the neck and planting her lips on his. Fitz felt like he was dreaming floating on clouds. He loved the taste of her mouth and if they didn't stop he'd taste the rest of her.
Liv backed up and smiled, " I normally don't make the first move so consider yourself lucky."
" Oh I'm more than lucky sweet baby." Liv heart soared when he called her that. They talked for 2 hours until it was time for them to go home. They exchanged numbers and they were definitely going to chat soon.

She got in the house at 9 pm and headed for the shower. After feeling relaxed and clean she put on her pajamas. A text from Fitz came through.
Fitz: hey beautiful did you get in okay?
Liv: Yes I just came out the shower and put on my pajamas.
Fitz: Thanks for the visual now I won't be able to go to sleep.
Liv: You're such a naughty boy. Cut it out
Fitz: So what are you wearing ?
Liv: No way am I gonna tell you mister!
Fitz: You wanna come to a bbq that is happening at my house?
Liv: Okay just send me the address *immediately Fitz texts back the address* ... Well aren't you an eager beaver!
Fitz: Eager when it comes to you ;)
Liv: Alright lover boy I have to rest it's been a long week. But I'll see you tomorrow. Good Night Elijah *heart eyes*
Fitz: Good Night sweet baby *heart eyes*
Liv went to sleep with a smile on her face.

Olivia got Abby ready for her date and told her to just relax. After she laid down the rules to her and Christian again she went to check on Abby and Huck. She got ready and before she knew it she was at a beautiful big sized house. Fitz was outside waiting for her.
" Hey beautiful did you find it okay?"
She kisses his lips quickly and said, " Yes I did handsome thank you for inviting me. I'm glad to see you again."
" As am I. C'mon lets go in the backyard."
It was decorated so nicely and there was plenty of food, snacks and drinks. As soon as Liv turned around she heard Jake say, " Liv what are you doing here?"
Fitz looked up and said, " Who's Liv? Her name is Gabrielle."
Liv responded, " Look Elijah I was gonna tell you..."
Disrupting again Jake said, " His name is Fitz."
just her luck Abby moved from behind Jake saying, " Liv what's going on? Why are you here?"
Both Liv and Fitz confused and embarrassed said, " I can explain!"
Okay so Cliffhanger or nah? Liv reunites with her bestie and they talk about everything from toddlers to grown women. A lot has changed for them but I like that they picked up like they never left. Liv has her friend back. I like how Tracy is spicy and kind of off the chain when it comes to speaking her mind. She's definitely going to be alil more on the wild side than Liv when it comes to filters. Fitz and Liv are so flirt and cute I like their bantering one another. They finally got caught. The cat is out of the bag. Now the real question is how is this conversation about to go.
