Fitz was up bright and early the next morning. Sure, it was a Sunday but it was summer and if things work out the way he hopes, it'll be the best summer ever. He cleaned the apartment spotless, yes he wanted to impress Olivia even if she spent a lot of time here before. In Fitz's mind this was different, he wanted everything to be perfect.
After a quick run to the grocery store, Fitz organized food for the grill and loaded the cooler with ice, beer and mixers for Olivia's fruity shit. It was a little after 10:30 when Fitz heard a knock at the door. He still hadn't seen Jake that morning, he thought maybe he forgot his keys. On the other side of the door was a pleasant surprise, Olivia with her hair in a messy bun, tank top and cut off shorts. He could see the ties for her white bikini and his mind instantly pictured what was underneath.
Unfortunately his mind wasn't the only part of him excited. Embarrassed, he ushered Olivia in with a quick "hello". Over his should as he ran to his bedroom he smirked "be right back Livvie". Once in the safety of his room he forced himself to calm down. This was the first time they have seen each other since the cuddle incident, he couldn't scare her off by sporty a hard on just by looking at her. A few centering breaths later, he braved facing her. The lack of eye contact and pink of Olivia's cheeks gives her way, she totally saw his hard on. Great.

To say Olivia was excited was an understatement. She was up and ready much earlier than necessary. After cleaning her apartment, she finally gave in and decided to go to Fitz's early to see if he needed help. She careful picked a casual and low-key sexy outfit of short shorts and tank over her bikini, hoping to catch Fitz's attention without looking desperate. As she approached his door she had to calm her nerves. "It's just Fitz" she whispered to herself. But that was it, this was Fitz and she wants him more than ever.
She decides after recent events, it's best to knock, plus she was early. Who knew what was going on inside when no one was expected. As Fitz opens the door her breath is taken away. "God damn he is gorgeous" she thinks. She notices an strange look on his face before he tries to quickly turn around but not before she notices the bulge in his pants. "Holy hell, that's huge, is that normal? Wait, was that for me?!" Olivia wonders as he bolts for his bedroom. She patiently waits for him to return but still can't hide her surprise of seeing Fitz's boner. She's more curious than ever. When he had spooned her the other night, she had felt him behind her. Never having seen or felt a man, she wondered what he looked like and how he felt. Shaking her head of the thoughts, desperate to hide the blush still present on her face, she stands up just in time to make eye contact as Fitz opens his door. Embarrassed she looks down just as Jake enter the apartment.
"What's going on guys? Why do you both look like you saw your grandma naked?" If only Jake knew what was going on. Fitz ignores him and heads to gather their supplies, Olivia close behind. The three of them take the cooler, food and their bag down to the pool side loungers near the grill. Claiming chairs and settling in, Fitz grabs the sunscreen and begins to apply it to his skin. He shyly turns to Liv "would get my back for me?"
Touch Fitz? Um no brainer! "Yea, hand it over"
She slowly applies the lotion to his back, trying to hide her smile. Taking her time to cover his back while sliding her fingers over his muscles, Olivia was in heaven. As she finishes, she hears loud chatter. Looking over shoulder she notices all their friends making their way to the pool. Thankful for the distraction from Fitz, she jumps up and hugs Abby and Quinn.
It doesn't take long for the boys to jump in the pool and start horsing around while the girls laid out. The girls begin to shed their clothes to sun bathe in their swimsuits. David can't take his eyes off Abby, same with Huck who was staring holes into Quinn's ass. Meanwhile Fitz thinks he may die as he sees just how small Olivia's bikini is, his imagination did not do her justice. My god she was perfect. She turns her head and catches Fitz watching her. He quickly turns his head, embarrassed at getting caught. Only his excitement turns to rage when he notices Jake drooling over Olivia. As the girls were chatting Fitz starts yelling at them to get in. If she's in the water, Jake can't look at her like a starved man.
Abby speaks up "nope. We are good. Just here for the sun, food and booze".
Instantly David, Huck and Fitz climb out of the pool approaching the girls. "David I swear to god if you throw me in, I will kill you" which doesn't stop him from picking her up and tossing her over the side. Huck quickly follows with Quinn. Fitz is slowly making his way closer to Olivia. "Fitz please. I don't want to get my hair wet. Don't throw me in, please. Pretty please." He continues closer, clearly on a mission. With a giant smile on his face he lunges at her, but she quickly evades him with a squeal and makes a dash for the other side of the pool. He continues to chase her for a few minutes before finally scooping her up in his arms. Olivia refuses to go down without a fight. The pool is full of their friends laughing at the spectacle in front of them. Olivia is clinging to Fitz for dear life so he can't throw her in.
Her head buried in his neck, she hears him begin to laugh. "Oh Livvie, if you think this will save you, you're wrong" with that he takes a step and jumps in with Olivia wrapped around him. They sink to the bottom before Fitz pushes off and they reach the surface. Wiping away water still clinging together, their faces inches apart Olivia looks into his eyes and sees something she's never seen before; wonder, desire and what she thinks is love. Loud laughs interrupt their moment and Liv swims away towards the girls. Had the cheers not broken their moment, Olivia truly believes they would have kissed and now more than ever she hates having a group of friends. If they were alone maybe they would finally address the elephant in the room. One thing is clear to both of them, they are not alone in their feelings. This moment changes everything. The only question left is where do we go from here?
The group spends the afternoon into the evening enjoying the summer day and drinks. Fitz and Olivia steal looks, playing in the water. Slowly the crew begins to trickle out. Before long it is just Fitz, Liv, Jake and Harrison. They gather their things and head back to the apartment. Harrison and Jake decide they want to hit up a local bar but can't convince Fitz to join them. The moment the door closes behind them Fitz and Liv turn to each other, staring into each other's eyes and they both know everything is about to change.
