AN: I hope you all like this version of Olitz. There will be pumps in the road like any other couple but this will not be a make up and break up story. Thanks again!
Monday may have brought Fitz peace but Olivia was conflicted. That kiss was everything she has ever wanted. The guilt, not so much. Although she knew Mellie was her friend, she wasn't naive enough to think Mellie actually cares about her. Their relationship has always been one sided. Olivia, forever the people pleaser, was the friend Mellie knew wouldn't say no to her. Mellie used Olivia for her kindness more than any of her other friends, it was something she just accepted. That's why she was always the one Mellie set up with her current flame's friends. Mellie always wanted her boyfriend's sole attention, Olivia was the answer. Olivia, of course, knew what she was up to and hated it every time but was too nice to stand up to her. That is until Jake, she just couldn't do it. He was creepy as hell. Any time she broke up with one of her boyfriends, Mellie would turn to Olivia for a shoulder to cry on.
Which is how Olivia ended up in her current circle of personal hell. Mellie had shown up at her apartment in tears because "Fitz dropped me for some dumb whore!", she had claimed. Mellie continues to rant her hatred for Fitz, appalled that HE would have the nerve to break up with HER. Olivia sat quietly listening to Mellie vent. The guilt she felt was slowly disappearing, only to be replaced by rage. Not once in her meltdown had Mellie said she loved Fitz, or that she couldn't imagine life without him. All she repeated was what a piece of shit he is and how she can't believe that this was happening to her.
"Mellie, why are you really upset? Is it because you love him or because you're embarrassed to be dumped?" Olivia asked calmly.
"Don't be ridiculous Olivia, how could you even ask that? You wouldn't understand you've never been able to keep a man interested longer than a week. You have no idea what I am going through."
That was it, Olivia was officially done. "Mellie I think its time for you to go. Fitz is my best friend, I won't sit here and listen to you bash his character and call him out of his name. I get that you're upset but I will not be your sounding board for trashing him."
"Are you kidding me?! You're throwing me out in my time of need?! You're supposed to be my friend too Olivia" Mellie fumed.
"You may be my friend but Fitz is my best friend, he's family. I'm sorry things didn't work out for you but I refuse to be a part of this. I will talk to you later." Olivia strides to the door, opening it as a sign for Mellie to leave, only to come face to face with the topic of the hour himself.. "Fitz" she says surprised by his arrival.
"Hi" he smiles not noticing Mellie behind Olivia.
Clearing her throat, she nods her head in Mellie's direction, it's now that he finally sees the last person he wants to talk to. "Well isn't this just perfect, he would come running to you with his sob story... whatever. Forget you both"
With that Mellie charges out of the apartment. Fitz and Olivia face one another, silently taking in what just happened. After a moment they both giggle at Mellie's dramatic exit.
"Hi"
"Hi"
"So you broke up with Mellie"
"I broke up with Mellie, there's only one woman I want and she is right here. There is nothing standing in our way Livvie. What do you say? Do you want me?"
The smile on Olivia's face shines brighter than the sun as she rushes to him. They spend the next few minutes just holding one another, taking it all in. They could finally be together. Fitz pulls away, brushing the hair out of Olivia's face before leaning in to kiss her. Softly at first, then she deeps the kiss. Fitz picks her up and carries her to the couch, laying her back before climbing on top of her. They continue to make out for the next ten minutes. Hands wandering, hips grinding. They can not get enough of each other. All that can be heard in the apartment are sighs and heavy breathing.
Eventually, Fitz pecks her lips before pulling his head back to look at her. Olivia smiles as she brushed his forever loose curl back. This was happening, he was hers and she was his. Sitting up, Fitz pulls her with him. "Livvie, we have a lot to talk about, I don't want to rush things. I want to make sure we start out building a foundation that won't fail us down the road."
"I agree, slow and steady. Fitz, I don't want you to take this the wrong way but I don't want anyone to know about us yet. You just broke up with Mellie, I don't want to be known as a home wrecker. Plus, who knows the wrath of Mellie, she's already pissed I kicked her out tonight"
"You kicked her out?!"
"Well yea, she came into my home bashing the most important person in my life." Olivia smiles shyly.
"Livvie, I promise I will take care of you, thank you for having my back. I love you."
"I love you too, Fitz"
Those words were magic to his ears. He would cherish this moment forever. Olivia Pope was his, and she loves him too. He grabs her, snuggling into the couch for a few minutes just taking it all in. "I should probably head out, if we want to keep this to ourselves for the time being, I don't want Abby walking in on me kissing you because if we lay here any longer, I won't be able to stop myself" he grins.
Olivia drags herself off the couch "You're right. It won't always be like this, lets just let some time pass okay?"
"Anything for you Livvie."
They walk to door hand in hand, before Fitz gathers her into the best bear hug. She feels his pants start to stir and quickly kisses him goodbye, only for him to suck her bottom lip and sneak his tongue into her mouth. Things heat up quickly, they've both waited so long for this, they can't stop themselves. When they hear keys in the door, they jump apart. Olivia pulls the door open as Abby pushes it, causing her to fall into the apartment. Olivia helps her up, not stopping herself from laughing. Once on her feet, she notices Fitz and says hi. "Hey Abby, I was actually on my way out, I will talk to you later Liv"
"Bye Fitz" she says as he disappears through the door.
"So what was that about?" Abby asks.
"He broke up with Mellie and needed someone to talk to."
"Oh wow, okay didn't see that coming but good for him, Mellie is a bitch."
Olivia giggles and agrees, "well, I'm going to bed, Night Abs".
"Night Liv." Turning into her own room.
As Olivia climbs into bed, her phone lights up with Fitz's name.
GOOD NIGHT LIVVIE, I LOVE YOU. I COULD KISS YOU FOREVER- F
GOOD NIGHT FITZ, I LOVE YOU TOO. I WILL BE DREAMING OF YOU AND THOSE LIPS TONIGHT- O
LIVVIE I AM 5 SECONDS AWAY FROM TURNING AROUND, DON'T PLAY WITH ME-F

"Sweet baby? That's new, I definitely don't hate it." Olivia thinks as she drifts to sleep.
