This was originally a much longer chapter, but it didn't flow as well, so I split it up. That should make for another quick update. I'll try to do it once a week, I'm trying to make sure I balance between the two stories and make both of them the best they can be rather than fire off quick unedited chapters.

"I can't believe this is our last night of summer," He said tossing her the nerf football.

"Fitz it's only a half day, it'll be fine, you don't have to be nervous," she caught it and threw it back to him.

"I'm not…. But I don't know what to wear, I've always had a uniform, what the hell do you wear on the first day of public high school?"

She started laughing, as she walked over and sat on his lap running ran her hands through his hair "Awwww baby, you are nervous. You'll be fine, but come on I'll help you pick something out."

They stopped to say hello to his parents then followed behind Olivia up the stairs so he could check her out. He smiled as he watched her go through his closed and laid down on the bed. She also had alterior motives to steal a tshirt while she helped him pick out his clothes.

"Something blue or purple, that looks best on you. Or maybe I shouldn't make you look good so all of the girls stay away," she smiled at him.

"I thought everything looked good on me?" he gave her a big toothy grin as he laid back on the bed and tossed the football up to himself, "You don't have to worry there's only one girl I look at."

"I like the grey shorts you wore on our first date. Why don't you wear this light blue v neck shirt with those shorts and the shoes you wore that night? It'll match what I'm wearing too."

"And what are you wearing?" He pulled her over and pinned her on the bed smiling as he gazed down at her.

"Fitz, behave your parents are downstairs."

He ignored her and started kissing her neck, knowing it would make her give into him.

"I'll stop when you tell me what you're wearing," he was moving his hands down her body and under her shirt to tickle her making her giggle and squirm.

"Fitz…please ...stop...!" she couldn't stop giggling.

"Tell me and I'll stop!" he replied in a low snarl and was now rubbing his unshaven face against hers.

"A pair of cropped jeans, tank top and light sweater, now stop tickling me!" tears were forming from laughing.

"So we are going to be the best looking couple in the school?" he boasted as he sat up and let her out from under him before his parents did catch them in a compromising position.

She sat up and kissed me "We WILL be the best couple in school."

"What time do you have to be home?"

"I don't know, not too late, but I think we are off our curfew."

"Do you wanna watch a movie before you go?"

"It's only 8, let me text my mom and tell her that's what we are doing and I'll be home after it's over."

They laid on the bed cuddling up together while a cool breeze blew in from an opening window, signifying that summer was indeed ending as cool fall nights begin to creep in. He turned on Netflix while she ran a hand under the Navy sweatshirt he was wearing.

"Navy?"

"Yeah, Edward gave me one of his old ones to wear."

"You'd look good in a uniform. Have you thought about wear you want to go to school?"

"No, Gerry always had it planned that I was just going to Stanford to get my undergrad then go onto law school somewhere on the East Coast. But, I guess I can make my own decision now. I've had offers to play football or baseball, but haven't really thought much about it. Where are you going?"

"Either, Duke, George Washington, Drexel or Georgetown, at least they are my top three. I'd like somewhere that is a full Med School program so I don't have to do four years undergrad then go somewhere else to Med School."

"You have it all planned out don't you? Well, I'll figure it out here, I wanna play football and who knows maybe major in engineering or architecture."

"Well at least you aren't as bad as Jackson, who is just going to be a football player."

They laughed at her making fun of her brother.

"Anyway, aren't you going to be hot wearing that sweatshirt?"

"Livy, are you trying to get me to take my shirt off?" his tickling assault began again and she squealed, shaking her head no.

He let her go and took off his sweatshirt, leaving him shirtless. He gave her a smug look as he laid back down as she began to trace the lines of his muscles. She was interrupted by a guttural growl.

"How can you possibly be hungry with everything that you ate for dinner?"

He shrugged his shoulders "I don't know, but do you want some icecream?"

" That's what I mean, how do you eat all of that food?"

He smiled at her and picked her up off the bed " I'm pre-destined to be good looking and fit"

"You're ridiculous!"

Olivia took one final look in the mirror and decided she was ready for the first day of her Senior year. Jackson and her would be riding with Fitz and they were picking Abby up since her house was on the way. Otherwise she would be late. She was excited for the year to start and was hoping Fitz wasn't stressing too much.

Hi baby, are you ready yet?

Just finishing my hair, meet me at the jeep in five minutes.

She knocked on Jackson's door and told him they would be leaving in five minutes. She grabbed a smoothie and bagel then headed outside to text Abby and give her an official warning. He tried to sneak up on her but she could smell his cologne.

"Wow, I am going to be the luckiest guy in school, good thing I have most of my classes with you so no one tries anything, " he wrapped his arms around her kissing her cheek "You look amazing."

"Thanks, you're not too shabby yourself."

"I had some help," he kissed her again.

"Hey, it's seven, could you two at least wait until the afternoon to be all over each other?"

Fitz laughed and they all hopped in the jeep to pick up Abby. On the first half day they went to their first three classes, received a syllabus and discussed class expectations. Olivia and Fitz first class was AP US history, where they played a history game that Fitz knew all the answers to, impressing the teacher immediately.. Afterwards they walked hand in hand while he carried her stuff to AP stats. They were utterly disappointed when they walked in to see Meli and Brody were both in the class. Unfortunately this was a brand new teacher so he was not letting people choose seats and sat them alphabetically which meant Liv and Fitz were split up. They were instead forced to endure the misery of sitting with the two people they didn't want to be with. He kissed her cheek as he walked over to sit in a group with Brody.

"Hi Liv, looks like we'll be partners," Brody smiled and laughed at the thought.

"We are in a group of four Brody, so no we aren't partners and it's not like this is our group for the year, he just needs to learn our names dumbass."

"Wow, aren't you awfully bitchy this morning. Did loverboy do something to upset you?"

"No unlike you, he's actually considerate."

Brody didn't know how to respond. She had never really talked to him like that before, but having Fitz and knowing how someone should treat you gave her even more confidence. Fitz was seething and staring a hole right through Brody. She reassured him and mouthed it'll be ok to him. Melli was staring at him while he was trying his best to ignore her. She approached Fitz as he was waiting for Olivia.

"Fitz, I struggle in math, do you think maybe you could tutor me?"

"Mellie, how is it possible that you struggle in math and are in AP Stats?" she stood there in shock after being called out and he walked away.

"Hi pretty girl," he kissed Liv taking her books, then wrapping an arm around her waist.

"How long do you think we will be stuck in their groups?"

"Hopefully not too long. Most AP teachers let us choose our seats, but he doesn't know any of us, so maybe after he learns our names. I am not going to be able to stand Brody, I was ready to punch him today."

He laughed "I am wearing off on you."

Fitz and Liv enjoyed their first few half days of school without problems although Fitz did have one issue in his schedule. He had an afternoon study hall and Melli was in it. She had tried hard to get him to talk to her and sit with her but he found and excuse to do something else each time. Friday finally came and it was a special night for the athletic teams. They would all be presented at a meet the teams event.

After practice and showering the guys changed into their uniforms. Fitz took too long for Jackson and Luca to wait, so he could fix his hair, so he was left looking them and Olivia while he walked out to the stadium. Unfortunately Melli found him first.

"Hi Fitz," she smiled and continued "Each cheerleader takes a few players names to decorate their lockers for games, looks like I have you."

"It's ok, I don't need my locker decorated," he replied trying to ignore her and find Liv and Jackson..

She slipped her arm under his grabbing his bicep,"but Fitz we have a history together."

He gave her a look of utter disgust, "We do not have a history! I was just using you that night, Olivia is my girlfriend and I love her, so just back off alright?"

At that moment he looked up to see Liv, and he left Melli looking disgusted, hurrying to explain to Olivia.

, "Livy I can explain…"

"Don't worry Fitz I trust you," she kissed him then let her lips linger, "however I've had about enough of that bitch."

Fitz looked at her surprised and they walked over to the bleachers holding hands.

"You look pretty good in your uniform, especially those tight pants," she winked at him. They were forced to wear their jerseys and football pants without pads, it was not comfortable and Fitz wished he just had shorts on.

"Are you nervous to speak?"

"Nope, no one cares about Cross Country so they probably won't listen, but we are first, so I need to go over with the team."

"Good luck, you look sexy in your uniform by the way," he kissed her cheek then patted her butt.

"You're bad mister," she called over her shoulder as she jogged away.

He made his way over to the team and sat with Jackson..

"Whatever you said to Mellie you unleashed the devil woman. She stormed off and was plotting with Brody."

"I've had enough of her, she thinks she has a chance and there's no way. She has to know that."

"I told ya that girl is crazy, it doesn't matter what is obvious to everyone else, she thinks she is entitled just like her cousin."

The speeches were given and football was last. Liv noticed that Fitz watched her the entire time and was one of the few attentive people, however she also saw Brody watching her two rows below Fitz.

Jackson's speech made everyone laugh as he hammed it up. He called out Fitz and made him come up front which he wasn't happy about. Afterwards a bunch of kids wanted pictures with football players. Jackson made sure Fitz joined him in those pictures, he'd be a great celebrity someday because Jackson certainly loved his fans.

Fitz finally found Liv, as her and Abby made their way over ready to leave, pulling the boys away from their elementary fans. They were heading back to a cookout at the Pope's house.

"Listen, Liv, she came out of nowhere, and she's pushy, I told her you're my girlfriend and I love you," he gave her a shocked look as he realized he just admitted he loved a girl for the first time in his life.

"Do you?" She gave him a sly smile "How much do you love me Fitz?"

He laughed and shook his hand.

"Do you love me like you love ice cream, or like a good friend, orrrrr like what?"

"Livy, come on stop picking on me, you know what I mean," he was nervously running a hand through his hair as she was relentless.

"No Fitz, I don't at all? You really need to tell me," she continued to smile very pleased with putting him on the spot.

Fitz pulled in and put the car in park. He turned to face her, and moved close enough that they were almost kissing.

"I love you like I've never loved anyone before or will again."

She grabbed him and kissed him "good because I love you too Fitzgerald Grant."
