It was finally the day Olivia was getting off her cast. She was super excited but she was sorta gonna miss it ,it was full of signatures now. The first person who signed it was Fitz, everyday she would look at it and smile. It said Get well Ms.Pope and it had a cute heart at the end. It was so innocent but so cute. Olivia got dressed, putting on a pair of light blue jeans with her black flats and a black and white shirt. She left her hair down since she couldn't really do much to it using one hand.
"Okay mom I'm ready." Olivia said walking into the kitchen and grabbing an apple.
They both left and went to the hospital. They didn't have to wait too long to get pulled back. When Olivia was situated in the room. The nurse spoke "Dr.Grant will be in shortly." The nurse said walking out.
Fitz walked in with a big smile on his face. "Hello Ms.Pope and Mrs.Pope." Fitz said shaking both their hands. He then looked at Liv. "You look very happy to take that off."
"I'm excited. I can get back to work and then I'll be ready to go take my exam that's in three weeks." Olivia said.
Fitz started to check her arm. "Oh what are you in school for? If you don't mind me asking."
"I want to become a teacher."
"That sounds nice you would be a great teacher." Fitz said.
Olivia could feel the butterflies going crazy. It was something about that man that just made her so nervous.
"Thank you." Olivia smiled.
"Well let's go get this thing off." Fitz said walking them to the room to get the cast off. After that process was done Fitz checked Olivia's arm to make sure everything was okay.
"Well you are as good as new Ms.Pope." Fitz said.
"Thank you Fitz." Olivia said.
"It's my job to help people like you." He said smiling.
Fitz has been thinking about asking her something ever since he found out she was coming in today. But he knew he needed to just grow some balls and ask her.
"Ms.Pope we should celebrate." Fitz said toying with his pin in his pocket.
"Okay that sounds like fun. Sure we can celebrate." Olivia agreed.
"Well I get off at 3:00 so we can meet at Cactus Cantina."
"Okay I'll see you at three doctor." Olivia said. Maya smiled at the interaction between the two. Olivia and Maya left.
"You like him don't you?" Maya asked as they stopped at a red light.
"Mom it's nothing. I'm just taking him on his offer. He seems nice." Olivia said as she scrolled through her Instagram.
"Mmmhmm" Maya said. "I bet you two will end up together." Maya said pulling into Olivia's apartment garage.
Olivia sighed. "Mom I don't want to be in a relationship. No one can handle my schedule, I'm too busy to be dealing with some guy when I should be getting my goals done." Olivia said.
Maya sighed. "You are just like your father." Maya said. She kissed Olivia on her cheek before Olivia got out. Olivia walked in the apartment she dropped her keys on the table by the door. She walked to her room and sat on her bed and pulled out her computer and books. She heard light taps on the door.
"Come in Abs." Olivia said.
"Look at your arm. I almost forgot what it looked like." Abby laughed sitting next to Olivia.
Olivia shook her head and laughed. "How was work?" Olivia asked.
"It was work. Didn't have much going on today surprisingly." Abby said. Abby owned a bakery called Sweet Lobby, It was the best and most popular bakery in DC. Abby and Olivia have been friends since they were little. They have always been there for each other no matter what. Abby was great for Olivia, she knew how to be sassy and fun.
"Oh okay, I'm going out tonight." Olivia said.
"With who?" Abby said.
"The doctor I was telling you about." Olivia said.
"He asked you on a date? Okay Liv I see you."
"It's not a date we are celebrating me getting my cast off." Olivia said.
"Date" Abby said.
"I call it celebrating." Olivia said looked at the time it was going on 2:30. She needed to start getting ready.
"Whatever you say Liv." Abby said getting up and walking out the room.
Olivia shook her head and went to take a shower. She felt so much better being able to take a shower without a cast and a big bag over it. She walked in her closet trying to figure out what she wanted to wear. She wanted to wear a dress but she wanted to keep it casual. Olivia pulled out two dresses and two shirts she went back into the bathroom and started to curl her hair. She put on a little bit of makeup. She walked back out into her room. She looked at the clock "Shit I need to hurry." Olivia picked up the black off the shoulder dress that stopped just above her knees, she did a quick once over in the mirror then left out her room.
"Bye Abbs." Olivia yelled out.
Abby opened the door from her room. "Have fun on your date!" Abby yelled back. Olivia rolled her eyes and got in her car and went to the restaurant. She sat down at the bar. She didn't didn't see first there yet. Harrison was at the bar fixing drinks.
"Hey Harry." Olivia said.
"Liv what you doing here? What can I get you?" Harrison said. "Nice arm by the way."
Olivia rolled her eyes and laughed. "Get me a Pina Colada, and I'm here because I'm meeting my doctor we are celebrating me getting my cast off." Olivia said.
"Oh so your in a date?"
"It's not a date. What is up with you and Abby." Olivia said.
"Just saying what it looks like." Harrison said passing Olivia her drink. Olivia sipped her drink and rolled her eyes. Then she started to think "Is this really a date? I don't even know him why would this be a date? You can go on a date no knowing someone...can you?"
"Hi." She heard taking her out of her thoughts.
"Hi." Olivia said back. She slid off the stool and gave Fitz a hug.
"Sorry I was late hope I didn't keep you waiting. I had to do something at the hospital." Fitz said.
"It's fine, I was sorta just getting here." Olivia responded sipping her drink.
"Hey man what can I get you?" Harrison asked cleaning out a glass.
"I'll have a patron silver." Fitz said.
"Got you." Harrison said making Fitz's drink. When Fitz got his drink he raised it. "Cheers to you for finally getting your cast off." Fitz said clinking their drinks together.
Olivia gave a small smile. "Cheers."
"You look beautiful by the way." Fitz said looking her up and down not missing a feature on her.
"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself. You clean up nicely." Olivia said looking him up and down. Fitz has on a pair of khakis with a light blue button up with the two top buttons undone where you can see his chest hairs. His hair was pushed to the side except for one curl that just stuck out.
He smiled watching her look him over meeting her eye to eye. "Thank you. So can I call you Olivia?"
"Yes that's fine." Olivia smiled when he said her name.
"Ok...Olivia." He said smiling how it rolled off his tongue. "So Olivia what made you want to be a teacher?"
"Well one I like kids. They are just so interesting and adorable and two I just like the concept of me being able to teach them things and help them succeed." Olivia said. Fitz smiled at her response and took a sip of his drink.
"Fitz what made you become a doctor?"
"Well my granddad used to own the hospital I work at now. So now I'm the Medical Officer of the hospital. I used to work with him but before he passed he put me in charge of the hospital. I just want to keep the hospital up and going and I want to make my granddad proud."
"That's really sweet of you and I'm sorry for your loss. I bet he's proud of you." Olivia said touching his hand not even thinking about what she was doing.
Fitz smiled and rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. Olivia eased her hand back. "So if you don't mind me asking are you in a relationship?" Olivia asked.
"No I am not."
"Why not?" Olivia spat out she didn't mean for it to come out. "Sorry for saying it like that."
"It's fine. I just haven't found my other half yet. I haven't been able to find someone who can handle my busy schedule." Fitz said. "What about you?"
"No I'm not in a relationship and I just don't have the time to be in a relationship I'm busy with school and work and I'm just trying to stay focused on that."
"I see." Fitz said and chugged the rest of his drink."You want to go for a walk?" Fitz asked.
"Sure." Olivia said. Pulling her wallet out of her purse. Fitz our his hand over hers.
"I got it." He handed Harrison two 20 bills. The two walked out of the restaurant. Fitz stuffed his hands in his pockets as they walked.
"So Olivia when can I see you again?"
"Huh? Fitz I just told you I don't want to be in a relationship." Olivia chuckled
"Well can we just try something. I want to keep you in my life. We can even just be friends but I don't want to lose you." Fitz said stopping and turning to her.
Olivia looked up at him in his bluish grey eyes. "Sure we can try something. I'll give you a chance but don't say I didn't warn you I am a very busy person." Olivia said.
"We will figure it out Livvie." Fitz said. Olivia smiled at the name. Only her Mom called her Livvie. But hearing him say it just felt different. He walked her to her car.
"See You later Livvie." He said closing the door.
"Bye Fitz." Olivia said as she started her car and pulled off.
~
It was Saturday night and Olivia and the girls were going out. There was music blasting throughout the apartment and alcohol was on the table so the girls could pregame. Olivia was debating on what to wear. She finally grabbed her white spaghetti strap bodycon dress. She grabbed her favorite nude heels and walked out of her bedroom. She heard a knock on the door. She smiled when she peeped through the peephole. Olivia opens the door.
"Time to party bitches!" Trinity said as she swayed her hips to the music. Olivia shook her head at her. Trinity was just like Abby. Loud, crazy, and ready to get drunk and party. Trinity was a close friend from high school.
"Heyyy Liv." Quinn said giving Olivia a hug. Quinn also went to high school with them. Quinn was more laid back but she knew how to party.
"Hey girls." Olivia said closing the door.
"Abby bring your ass!" Trinity yelled.
"Well I know who's not driving back." Olivia said pouring shots.
Abby came out of her room. "Time to party!" Abby shouted raising her shot glass. "This is to being great friends and having the best time with each other always."
They all threw their glasses back. "Damn, This is why I stick to wine." Olivia said feeling the burning sensation run down her throat.
"Weak." Abby said pouring her, Quinn and Trinity another shot.
"So how have you ladies been?" Olivia asked as she poured wine in another glass.
"Working. Trying to keep Robin from being so damn bad. He is a handful." Quinn said. Quinn was married to Charlie who she met at a gun range one day. They fell for each other and ended up having a son named Robin.
"Awe I know my nephew isn't that bad." Olivia said laughing at the look Quinn have her.
"Well I've been doing me. You know get dick here getting dick there." Trinity said.
"I hope you wrapping up." Olivia said sipping her drink. "Why don't you just get in a relationship?"
"Trust me I am plus relationships just don't work for me. I need my freedom." Trinity said.
"Preach." Abby said high-fiving Trinity.
"You two are a handful." Olivia said.
"So Liv tell us more about this doctor guy. We haven't heard you talking to a guy since highschool." Quinn said.
"It's nothing to it really. He was my doctor he gave me his number and now we talk." Olivia shrugged.
"Okay enough talk can we go party now." Abby said.
"LETS GOO!" Trinity said. The girls walked out the apartment. Olivia drove them to the club. She was always the designated driver when they went out. They went into the club and it was so many people in there. They went to the bar first and got some more shots. Some of their drinks had gotten paid for by a few guys.
"Let's take it back." The Dj said into the mic. The beat for poison came on. The girls jumped up from their seats and headed to the dance floor. They all started dancing and singing the lyrics. Olivia started to rap the part she knew it word for word. She felt someone come behind her dancing. They wrapped their hands around her waist.
"It's driving me out of my mind That's why it's hard for me to find Can't get it outta my head Miss her, kiss her, love her, wrong move you're dead" she heard a deep baritone voice sing in her ear. She smiled recognizing the voice. She turned around in his arms still dancing.
"That girl is poison,Never trust a big butt and smile." Olivia sang back with a big smile. She smiled as they danced. "What are you doing here?" Olivia said loud enough for him to hear.
"I'm here with my guys. We're just hanging out. What are you doing here?"
"Girls night." Olivia said pointing to her friends.
"Come to the VIP section with us. Bring your friends." Fitz said. Olivia grabbed her friends and they followed Fitz. They walked up to the roped off area. They all sat down. Olivia sat next to Fitz.
"Liv these are my friends, Stephen and Leo."
"Hey guys." Olivia waved. "These are my girls, Abby, Quinn and Trinity."
They waved at each other. "Y'all want some drinks?" Leo asked.
"Sure I'll take a drink." Trinity said. She got up and walked over to Leo who poured drinks for them. They all started to talk and get to know each other. While Olivia and Fitz were in their own little world.
"You look amazing." Fitz said in Olivia's ear and placed his hand on her exposed knee.
Olivia had felt this ache in her stomach when he touched her. She swallowed "Thanks. You look good too."
You guys wanna go dance some more?" Abby asked.
"Let's go." Stephen said grabbing her hand.
"Hey Liv I gotta go. Charlie has to work tonight." Quinn said hugging Olivia.
"Okay call me when you get home." Olivia said. She looked back at Fitz. "You wanna go dance?"
"Sure let's go." They walked to the dance floor. Abby was dancing with Stephen and Trinity was dancing on Leo.
The song No Letting Go started to play. Olivia started to wine and rocked her hips to the song. Fitz has his hand on her hip as he rocked his hips with her. They were in their own world, like they were the only two in the room. As Olivia was rocking her hips she could feel something against her ass. She smiled and kept dancing and grinding against him.
"You feel what you do to me?" Fitz said in her ear.
Olivia felt that pain in her stomach again. She turned to face him. He smiled at her. She looked in his eyes as they kept dancing and grinding against each other. There was something between them something strong and Olivia hasn't felt this before. She was nervous about what she was getting herself in but she was going with her gut. Something about Fitz just made her feel some kind of way. They had a great connection with each other. The two continued to dance the night away.
Olivia and Abby didn't get home till 2:00 in the morning. Leo took Trinity home. Olivia stripped out of her clothes and laid on the bed. Just thinking about her time with Fitz. Her phone buzzed on her nightstand. She grabbed it and it was a text from Fitz. She opens it and it read:
"I enjoyed tonight can't wait to see you again beautiful."
She smiled at the message and texted him back saying she enjoyed it too and telling him goodnight. She put her phone back on the nightstand and sighed. She just replayed them dancing in her head until she fell asleep.
