Meanwhile:
Mellie is enjoying a night out with friends at the hottest new restaurant in town, Angelo's. She has had a few glasses of wine and the food is to die for. She is halfway through her meal when something catches her eye. Across the dining room she sees Fitz, almost dragging Olivia by her hand out of the restaurant while she giggles behind him. "You have got to be kidding me" she says under her breath. She notices how good Fitz looks, black slacks that fit just right and a blue button down that make his eyes pop. And that hair, lord he was fine. She glances to Olivia, she has never seen her look this good before and it instantly irritates her. The dress isn't nearly frumpy enough to be Olivia's, since when does she dress so skimpy? Jealousy consumes Mellie, she can't take her eyes off of them. They look so happy, she wants to vomit. Who actually giggles in public? Rage spreads through out her body. It is then that Olivia's turns, her eyes sweeping the room before making eye contact with Mellie. Mellie holds her gaze, still in shock by the sight before her. As if on cue, Fitz leans over and claims Olivia's mouth in a disgusting display of public affection. "Whore" Mellie mumbles. Olivia turns back to Mellie with a smirk on her face. "How dare she..." The couple continues out of the restaurant and into the night, leaving a fuming Mellie behind.
Mellie remains quiet the rest of the night, drinking more and more wine. Tonight she wanted to drink the image of Fitz and Olivia from her mind. She was beyond embarrassed to be dumped but to be dumped for Olivia was unacceptable. She would make them pay for it. Once she gets home she stews for hours, finally coming up with her plan. Olivia would regret the day she chose Fitz over her.
The next morning Mellie showers and dresses to impress. She still has a key to Fitz's place. She would let herself in, show him what he was missing. Hopefully get some action while she was at it. In the process breaking Olivia's poor little heart. She dressed in her sluttiest lingerie and a sexy red dress. Her hair was curled to perfection and her makeup flawless. Happy with her look she makes her way to Fitz's apartment. It is almost noon, its was the weekend and she knows he likes to sleep in and relax. Quietly unlocking the door she enters the apartment. She strips down to her lingerie before heading down the hall to Fitz's room. On a mission she doesn't notice the changes in the apartment since she was last here, definitely not realizing Olivia's touch was everywhere. Confidently she struts into his room only to get the shock of her life.
A very naked Fitz and Olivia are in the throws of passion. Fitz pounding into Olivia as she aches her back, moaning like crazy. Mellie squeals, caught off guard by the sight before her, unsure how had she not heard them. Fitz was never so intense with her and Olivia is supposed to be a good two shoes virgin. Olivia and Fitz both turn to see Mellie standing in the doorway, dressed in nothing but a lace bodice and matching underwear. Olivia is embarrassed to be seen in such a compromising situation, but then she smiles. Serves her right for storming into their place. Olivia pulls Fitz's face back to her as if Mellie isn't there, she's already seen them in the act why should Olivia be the uncomfortable one in her own home? The two continue like there wasn't someone standing three feet away. Mellie screams before storming out of the room. She stops dead in her tracks when she reaches the living room. It is only now that she notices the changes in the apartment. The colorful throw pillows and rug, the framed photos of Fitz and Olivia. There are flowers on the counter and then she notices the candles that liter the apartment. It is then she knows that not only are they together but they are LIVING together. Fitz never let her even spend the night! Further enraged she quickly throws on her dress and leaves, slamming the door behind her. Never had a plan backfired so hard. Who makes plans while drunk and sober tries to follow through?
Back in the bedroom Fitz and Olivia laugh "I guess we need to change the locks" Fitz chuckles.
"Yes we do... but where were we?" She smirks and they once again throw themselves into the heat of the moment. They weren't going to let Mellie's unwanted presence ruin what had started out as a beautiful, orgasmic day.
A while later, Olivia is standing in the shower, playing the incident in her head over and over. Mellie really showed up to Fitz's apartment with the intentions of seducing him, how pathetic can she be? It's then she realizes she never told Fitz about Mellie being at Angelo's the night before. It all made sense in that moment. She was jealous of what she saw and wanted to cause problems. She shouldn't be surprised, it is Mellie after all. No one was more prone to revenge as her. Olivia begins to laugh, well looks like the joke is on her. Not only had Olivia got the guy but Mellie had to have noticed all her stuff in the apartment.
She walks into the bedroom, wrapped in a towel, "hey Fitz did you call the landlord about the lock situation?"
"Yep, he said he would be here in about 20 minutes. I also asked him to bring a copy of the lease to change Jake's name out with yours. He said it was fine we just have to pay a $50 fee. We didnt break a lease but it does change a legal agreement.
"That's fair enough. Think we will see Mellie around here again?" Olivia asks with a wicked smile.
"Depends, maybe she liked the show and wants more" he wiggles his eyebrows.
"You're disgusting Fitzgerald, I don't know what came over me. I can't believe I initiated continuing in front of her, I didn't even recognize myself in that moment." she is beyond embarrassed.
"Liv you let her know I was your man, its her fault for coming into our home with our permission or invitation." He justifies.
"I guess you're right but NEVER again will something like that happen"
"Livvie, if anyone saw you like that again I would probably have to kill them with my bare hands. You're mine, and mine alone" he possessively takes her into his arms.
"I'm yours baby, always" she kisses him sweetly, turning to get ready before the land lord arrives. "You know she was at Angelo's last night"
"What? I didn't see her."
"I saw her on the way out, she looked right into my soul. Her mouth was so far open she could catch flies" Olivia is full on laughing. "I guarantee thats what this little stunt was about"
"Well I dont know what she was expecting to happen, she is lucky I didn't call the cops for trespassing. She's crazy Liv, why would you ever be friends with her?"
"I didn't know she was crazy at first" she continues to laugh.
Once the locks and lease are taken care of, the couple decides to take it easy. Relaxing on the couch, watching trashy tv, basking in the new reality of their relationship. It doesn't take long for watching tv to turn into much more enjoyable activities. They could definitively get used to this.
AN: Sorry not sorry Mellie. A lot of you were ready to see Olivia break out of shyness, and boy did she.
