Guys I am so so so so so SO sorry for not updating! Between summer, working two jobs, and paying for college, my life is so hectic. This may just be the longest update I've done! I tried to make up for the delay. Enjoy!
"Olivia Carolyn Pope, hurry the hell up!" Abby said, banging on the bathroom door. The girls had been waiting on Olivia for the past 30 minutes. It was now half past nine, and she changed more than ten times. Ever since she got Fitz' text, she couldn't help but try and look as perfect as possible. She entered her passcode into her phone, rereading his text for the umpteenth time in the last two hours.
Fitz: Liv, here's your official invitation for a night out. My roommates know of a party 547 Quail Drive. I really hope to see you there. Still have to work on making you fall in love with me! Lol
She smiled, yet again, locking her phone. She figured the outfit she had on was the best yet. She had on a black tank top, with her favorite pair of blue acid washed jean shorts. The black fishnet tights and her favorite black Steve Madden combat boots perfected the outfit. She finished applying her makeup, giving herself a once over before opening the door to come face to face with her three impatient roommates.
"You girls ready or what?" Olivia said with a smirk.
They grabbed their purses and phones, making their way to Circle. The Circle was was where everyone got the bus or the taxi to go downtown. For the first party of the semester, it seemed that everyone was going out. Olivia hadn't thought that it was a big deal, but she was mistaken. She looked to her left and saw a bunch of girls who had clearly pregamed a little too hard; stumbling back and forth and barely able to stand on their own two feet. She rolled her eyes at them, glad she knew how to hold her liquor. I am my father's daughter, she thought to herself. A sense of unease washed over her, but the voice that broke her thoughts instantly made it disappear.
"Wow. You look…..wow. Um….wow." Fitz blubbered out, turning crimson. Olivia smiled, sending shivers throughout Fitz' entire body. He returned her smile with a breathtaking smile of his own, before kissing her cheek.
"In case I forget to tell you later," Olivia said, "I had an amazing time tonight."
"Breakfast tomorrow?"
Olivia laughed, throwing her head back. "Already planning on seeing me tomorrow, Fitz?"
"I don't plan on ever letting you out of my sight, Ms. Pope."
Olivia nudged him smiling, just as the bus pulled up. Fitz turned around. "Yo, guys!"
Olivia turned to follow his gaze and saw three guys approaching them. She assumed they were his roommates.
"So is this her?" the boy with the ruffled brown hair asked.
"Am I who?" Olivia questioned.
"The girl who's gotten Fitzy ready to settle down on the first night of freshman year," the blondish boy said with a smile. Olivia felt a bit of unease at his smile, but she pushed it away, thinking it was just nerves for the night to go well.
"Livvie, this is Andrew, Jake, and the quiet one over there is Cyrus. Guys, this is Olivia. Be nice."
Finally being able to put the names to the faces helped so much. Olivia could tell that Andrew was a good guy, and although Cyrus was quiet, she could tell that he was only so because he was accessing the situation. He was the thinker of the group. Jake, on the other hand, seemed like a pretty boy who was just that. All brawn, no brains. Olivia snuck a look at Fitz, his superman curl dangling teasingly over his forehead. She was glad that he was as intelligent as he was sexy. She smiled at her thought, and at that moment, his eyes met hers. His gaze sent off a thousand fireworks inside of her, and she gasped from the overwhelming feeling.
"Hey, lovebirds! Let's go!" shouted Abby from the line. Fitz placed his hand on the small of Olivia's back, ushering her forward in front of him. They all got on the bus, along with practically the entire campus. The bus was packed to the point that there was no space in-between anyone. Abby and Quinn were on Mellie's lap, Jake and Andrew were back to back, and Cyrus was in the corner between two girls. Olivia thought he looked incredibly uncomfortable, but she put the thought at the back of her mind.
At the moment, Fitz was more focused on the fact that Olivia was pressed into him. He tried with all of his might to stay calm, to think about disgusting things. Come on Fitz, think about something. Spiders. Grandma Julie's bunions. Something!
Olivia felt the electric spark between her and Fitz. It was hard to even try to ignore it. What she was trying to do, however, was not move her body against his. Because if she did, she couldn't necessarily guarantee that they would be going to the party.
Olivia turned her head as much as she could, peeking up at Fitz. What she saw, shocked her. His eyes were already on her, but they were different. Instead of their usual cerulean, they were the color of the sky before a storm; dark and glazed over. Olivia bit her lower lip, Fitz' eyes following her movement.
The ball of electricity inside of Olivia was growing intensely every second that passed. All she wanted to do was turn around and pull him down to her and kiss his lips. They looked so full and plump, she just wanted to just on them.
Fitz leaned down slightly, so that his lips were in front of her right ear.
"You feel it too, don't you?" he whispered. "You feel the electric current when we touch. And when I do this," Fitz ran his hand up her leg, meeting her skin through her fishnet tights, "you get turned on, don't you?"
Olivia shuddered, trying to change the topic. "Fitz, how much have you had to drink?"
"Enough to be brave enough to say what we both know already." He said with another one of his panty dropping smiles.
"This is our stop!" Mellie shouted out, causing everyone to look at her. The group pressed the stop button, getting off the bus at the corner of Quail Ave and Partridge Street.
"You guys ready?" Andrew asked everyone. They all shouted shrieks of excitement, ready to enter their first party as college freshmen.
"This is it? It seems a little quiet." Olivia said, eyeing the house. It looked like your average house on a street; five steps leading up to a large brick two family house. A guy with a snapback stood at the front door, with a red cup in his hands.
Fitz walked up to the guy, and the group followed. "How much?"
"2 for girls, 5 for guys."
Everyone started to get their money together, as Fitz gave the guy seven dollars.
"That's for me and her. Come on, Liv."
Olivia and Abby shared a look, smiling. She took his hand, looking back at the group. "See you guys inside!" she said, sticking her tongue out.
There was a sign on the wall, telling them to go downstairs and make a left. Olivia held Fitz' hand tighter as they walked down the stairs. The muffled sound of the music became louder and more clear. They turned left, staring at the closed door down the hall. Flashing lights emitted through the cracks. Fitz turned around, shooting Liv a wink, before opening the door.
The music and lights hit them full blast as they opened the door. People were everywhere, red solo cups were in the air, there were people making out in the corner, and people getting served drinks in the back.
"We're never gonna get drinks, look at that line!" Fitz shouted.
"Watch this!" Olivia said, walking to the back. Fitz watched in amazement as Olivia smiled and batted her eyelashes at the guy pouring the drinks waved her to the front of the line, blushing when she touched his arm. He gave her two full cups of jungle juice, and watched her as she walked away. She handed one of the cups to Fitz. "Cheers!" she sang. She downed her cup in entirety, going to get a refill. Fitz pulled her back. "Whoa! Let's pace ourselves here."
Olivia stared at him, confused. "Don't you want to get me drunk?"
"What? No! I mean, if you want to get drunk, that's your choice. Not mine. Why would you ever assume that's what I wanted?"
Olivia put her head down as she spoke, and Fitz had to lean forward to even hear what she said. "I thought you wanted to have sex with me…"
Fitz was at a loss for words. He stammered a little bit before answering. "I do! I mean, one day. Not tonight. I mean. I do, but I want to get to know you first. Liv," he said exasperated, running his hand through his hair, trying to get out the words. "I don't want you to be just some hook up. I am genuinely interested in you. I want to know your dreams, your fears, your favorite color, your first kiss, everything. This isn't just physical. I'm in this for the long haul."
Olivia's heart melted at his words. The times she had sex with Edison, he had always gotten her drunk first. That was she was more likely to say yes. Fitz was unlike anyone she had ever known. He had completely and totally thrown her for a loop.
She pulled him towards her. "Dance with me."
"Anything you wish, Livvie."
She turned around, winding her hips into his, letting the beat flow through her body. She dipped, grinded, moved this way and that, and the whole time, Fitz kept up with her. Edison never could, even on his best days.
"Come get it, bae!" Olivia sang along. Fitz chuckled behind her, putting his hands on her hips. Out of nowhere, he turned her around, taking her hand in his, before twirling her. She laughed an exhilarating laugh, throwing her head back. Out of the corner of her eye, she was aware of an audience.
Her roommates and his roommates all stood gaping at them. Abby had never seen Olivia so carefree and lifelike, and Andrew, who had known Fitz over the summer, had never seen him like a girl enough to dance. Olivia jumped up and down, shouting to the music, while Fitz bent down pretending to dance, causing Olivia to laugh even harder. He picked her up, spinning her around, while the whole crowd cheered them on.
He placed her back on her feet, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. Then, before either of them realized what was happening, Olivia stood on her tippy toes, and kissed him. The crowd roared around them, but Olivia and Fitz were in their own little world.
"Hey, guys!" Quinn said.
"Yo, loverboy!" Andrew said.
"Hey, Olitz!" Abby shouted.
Olivia and Fitz looked at her. "What the hell did you just say?" they said simultaneously.
"It's your couple name. Filivia is stupid. But Olitz works."
"We're just getting to know each other, Abby." Olivia said.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure your tongue knows the inside of his mouth pretty damn well by now. Now let's get some drinks!"
And for the rest of the night, the group enjoyed themselves. Even Cyrus, whom Olivia saw talking to a thin brunette guy with glasses.
"Liv, wake up!" Abby said from the bathroom. She was still in her pajamas, brushing her teeth. The party last night had been a success, and her entire dorm was still sleeping. There was a knock at the door. When Abby answered it, no one was there, but there were white lilies on the ground. Abby turned to look at the door, and there was a note, addressed to Livvie.
She picked up the flowers and took the note off the door, closing it with her foot. She walked back into the room, putting the flowers on Olivia's nightstand. She put the edge of the note into her roommate's ear, knowing it would wake her up.
Olivia screamed, swatting at her ear, ready to kill whatever insect dared to invade her personal space. What she was met with, was her best friend cackling at her reaction.
"You know I hate when you do that, Abigail." Olivia growled, clearly not a morning person. She laid back down, picking up what Abby was torturing her with. She took one look at the handwriting, knowing it belonged to Fitz. And just then, she noticed the lilies on her nightstand. She smiled a full 1000 watt smile, bringing them to her nose. She opened the note, excited to see what it said:
Good morning, Livvie. Last night was….beyond words. I know you probably don't remember last night at all (courtesy of all those cups of jungle juice you had) but I do. You told me that your favorite flowers were Casablanca lilies, so I took the liberty of going 30 minutes away to find them. When you're fully awake, I was thinking maybe we could go to the field and have a little picnic? Maybe bring some books and just read to one another. I'm willing to o whatever you want, as long as I get to stare into your eyes while doing so.
I'll be waiting,
Fitz
