It's been a while for this story hasn't it. I was thinking about deleting it, but I got some requests and some PMs stating people wanted updates so I thought I would update and see the reaction from you guys. If you guys aren't fans of any of my other scandal story's I have to tell you, I have found my muse for all my stories. I'm not sure where it came from but it came, sooo I'm done talking! Enjoy:)

The phone vibrates against her dresser as she pulls on her black high heels. She walks over to her dresser with one shoe on and picks it up.
"You know there is this thing, it's a weird invention called the doorbell." Olivia answers with a smile.
"Well if I rang the doorbell and you weren't ready then I would have to do the awkward first date sit on the couch and wait thing." Fitz says as he stands outside of her door.
"So why did you call?" She laughs as she pulls on her other shoe.
"So if I could ask if you were ready, so when I knock, you answer looking beautiful, I compliment you and we leave. No sitting involved in my plan." Fitz says explaining himself. Olivia laughs and grabs her clutch.
"Well I'm ready and you are officially late." Olivia says as she walks to her front door as he knocks. She opens and smiles.
"I'm not late, and you look beautiful." Fitz says hanging up and looking at her. "Simply breathtaking." He sticks his phone in his jacket pocket before holding out his hand. She smiles and takes it.
"You don't look to bad yourself." She smiles and he kisses her hand.
"You don't know the half of it." He flirts and she rolls her eyes and turns to lock up her apartment. After she is finished, she turns and he offers his arm as they walk to his car.
"So what do you do Fitz?" She asks when they get settled in his car.
"Well I am, I was an musician." He says as he turns his body towards her as much as possible.
"Wait a minute. You are Fitzgerald Grant? I loved your first album." Liv gushes.
"Only my first?" He says teasing her.
"Well you only had two and the second one was extremely sad. Beautiful, very beautiful but sad. The piano ballads were extremely moving." Olivia says turning her body. "But your first one, hope was in your voice a you sang about love but your second one, all the hope was gone, you sounded empty." She says as they make eye contact. She sees a war starting in his eyes as she talks about his music.
"Well my first album it was my hope. Hope that I could have the future my dad said I couldn't have by becoming a musician." He says.
"And your second one." She questions.
"My brother passed away, all I could think about was him. My agent said it showed a sensitive side to me, which would generate sales, but really it was me grieving. If I had it my way.." Fitz trails off and looks out he window. "If I had it my way, that album would've never gotten out." He says covering the tears that were building. Olivia watches him as he tries to re gather himself. She reaches out and touches his arm and Fitz looks at her hand before placing his hand on hers. He finally calms down and looks at her.
"Thank you." He smiles and she reaches up and wipes the tears the escaped.
"You're welcome." She whispers and lets her hand rest on his cheek. The car comes to a stop and Liv removed her hands and looks out the window to check out their destination. Fitz clears his throat and straightens out the imaginary wrinkles in his tux before the driver comes over and opens his door. He looks over at Liv and holds out his hand. She smiles and takes it and climbs out the car with him. He poses for a few pictures before walking in the venue with Liv. He walks in and is immediately swallowed up by people, asking him questions and trying to get him to have drinks with certain people. Olivia keeps back and lets him mingle. She walks over to the bar and orders champagne.
"I will have what the lady is having." He says as he joins her at the bar. His voice makes her smile as she looks up at him.
"I thought you had mingling to do." She says as she leans against the bar.
"What? That? No that was greeting people." He says as they get their drinks.
"Now I'm curious to see what mingling is." She smiles and takes a sip of her drink.
"It's not much different really." He faces her and takes a sip of his drink. She smiles at him before taking another sip of her drink.
"You know, this is the part of the date where you tell me a little something about yourself." Fitz says with a charming smile.
"You could just ask." Olivia fires back with a smile, keeping her glass up to her lips.
"Olivia, tell me about yourself." Fitz caves and Olivia laughs.
"Ok Grant it can't be that easy all he time."
"It's not so count your blessings." Fitz smiles and Olivia can't help by to laugh.
"Well if you just know, I'm a doctor. Pediatrician, to make it more specific. I have two sisters and a brother. Um lets see, I hate orange." She looks at him and he laughs.
"Thank you for that random fact. But wow a doctor. That's pretty amazing." Fitz smiles and sets his glass down.
"How about a dance Dr. Pope." He holds out his hand and she stares at it.
"Not if you keep calling me Dr. Pope." She says.
"Fine. Olivia may I have this dance?" He says keeping out his hand. She stares at it before draining her glass and taking his hand.
"One dance." She says but he shakes his head.
"We are going to dance until I know you like the back of my hand."
"It's going to be a long dance." Olivia mumbles but Fitz hears her.
"I'm counting on it."
