Now I totally understand that this story isn't for everyone, but I'm glad that some people like it. Now I promise that Olivia and Billy romance is coming soon. Hope you enjoy:)
Olivia felt Fitz's eyes pierce her like daggers. She quickly looked away; she knew that tonight was going to be hell. The hunt was almost over, and Olivia spent the last few minutes pretending to be working on the blog. She could tell by his body language that Billy realized that something was off, but Olivia didn't have time to deal with him and Fitz. Soon they were back on the bus heading to the hotel , Oliva was having a young teck savvy intern named Ethan show her how to upload the pictures onto the blog. When they got to hotel; Olivia checked in and headed up to her room. She quickly entered the room and locked the door. She hoped that she was wrong; she hoped that Fitz didn't notice what had happened on the hunt, because nothing happened on the hunt, she and Billy where just friends… Right? Suddenly she heard it, the knock on the door, she felt her stomach drop. She didn't want to answer it but she knew she had to. She slowly opened the door, Fitz pushed in, his eyes were bloodshot and he reeked of scotch.
"I know your cheating on me with Billy" he said
"Fitz… I swear…I'm not…."
"Oh realy, then what was today? Are you seriously saying him holding you in his arms was just friendly?" He said moving closer towards her
"I was stuck in a swamp, he helped me get out, that's it I swear" she pleaded
"Oh … you think I'm gonna buy that? If you needed help you should have asked me"
"ASKED YOU?! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS, I CAN'T ASK YOU TO HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS, YOUR FRIKIN MARRIED …"
"YOU KNOW I WOULD DIVORSE MELLIE IF I COULD!…."he barked
"BUT YOU CAN'T, EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO YOU CAN'T! YOU WILL BE MARRIED TO HER FOR 8 MORE YEARS SO NO MATER HOW MUCH WE TRY I'M STILL NOT YOUR FAMILLY"
"I love you Liv, you know that…"
"I know that… but that doesn't mean that I don't get to be a little jealous"
"I'm not stupid Olivia; I know your just making up this stupid your jealous of my family story to detract from the fact that you're sleeping with Billy" he barked
"How low do you think I am? Sleeping with 2 guys at the same time? Though I guess you could be sleeping with me and Mellie and that would be okay because you're his majesty Fitzgerald Grant who gets a free pass to do whatever he wants"
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK TO ME THAT WAY" he yelled as he twisted her arm
"OH YES I DO , BECAUSE I'M NOT YOUR WIFE OR YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR EVEN YOUR MISTRESS , I JUST WORK FOR YOYR CAMPAIGHN , AND IF YOU WANT TO FIRE ME GO AHEAD BECAUSE YOU AND I ARE DONE!" She snapped. She opened the door and stood her ground until a furious Fitz finally left. She felt sick, she knew she might have just lost her job but she didn't care, she finally felt free.
1 week later:
It was had been a week since their encounter in Olivia's room. She had only spoken to Fitz about campaign based topics. The bruises on her arms healed with time and Olivia tried to move forward. She was determined to do her job, to get him into the white house by any means necessary , and she refused to let her personal life have any influence on her job. Because of that she was also avoiding Billy in an attempt to keep Fitz calm. As the newest polls were in it clearly showed Fitz a solid 7 points behind Reston. . There were 35 days before the general election and Fitz desperately needed to close the gap. Tonight the whole campaign was in D.C for the second to last presidential debate. This debate was one of their last chances to turn things around. It wasn't an easy feat, Fitz was great at giving speeches but he was terrible at debating. Reston was a career politician who had come from solid middle class roots and had brought thousands of jobs to Maryland. Fitz on the other hand was born filth rich and had everything handed to him in life. That made it easy for Reston to cover up Fitz's good ideas with jokes about his unlimited trust fund. They had been prepping for weeks for this debate. Fitz had tons of charisma unfortunately he just didn't have that fire in his eyes, he didn't really even seem like he wanted to be president. Olivia felt like he might be running more because people expected him to but less because he wanted to. Olivia was trying to come up with ways to motivate him but it was not working. Maybe if he took some of the anger he held for Billy and directed it towards Reston then we wouldn't be having this problem. It was the night before the debate when they pulled into the Taft was the first time in months they were staying at a nice hotel. Everyone checked into their respective rooms. After about 10 minutes of pacing her room worrying about Billy and Fitz and the debate Olivia decided to head down to the hotel bar for a drink. She ordered a glass of red wine; suddenly Billy sat down next to her.
"Hey, what are you doing down here?" he asked
"Finally getting to drink good wine again"
"Well it definitely can't be better than the 4 dollar stuff from the Chinese place in Oklahoma" he teased
"That stuff was shit; I don't think that wine could possibly be worse than that" she complained
"Actually it was better than some of the hooch I've had" he said
"Oh don't go all cold mountain on me" she teased
"I'm sorry but I'm a Sothern boy at heart" he confessed
They chatted for a couple minutes until suddenly his phone began to ring. He recognized the number in a second
"What did you do now? ... Okay hold on I'll be there in a second and whatever you do don't tell them" he said to the person on the other end, then he stood up and turned to Liv "we need to go now"
"Go where? Who was that on the phone? "She asked visibly confused
"No time to explain we need to get to the Rain dance club now. This is important" he said as he put a twenty down on the bar and headed out dragging Olivia by the hand. They raced down the street towards the Rain Dance club. Soon they arrived and Billy rushed Olivia in. it was virtually empty except for the bar tender the manager and a tall teenage girl with red hair wearing a very slutty dress and 7 inch heels. Olivia felt that the girl looked familiar but she just couldn't place her. Olivia focused her attention back on the bar where there were knocked over cups and a broken window. Billy immediately raced over towards the red haired girl.
"Oh my god Billy thanks you so much for coming to save me" she squealed as she hugged him
"What did you do now?"
"Well… I was up here with some friends which my mom knows about by the way and we just came here for some drinks I barely had more than like 3 but some of my friends got really wasted and got into a fight and broke the window and shit . Then they all bolted before the manager could catch us but I can't run in heels so…. here we are. You need to help me, I won't survive in jail" she whined
"Don't worry Cassidy You're not going to jail, I'll handle it, I'm just glad you called me "Billy said, suddenly Olivia grabbed his arm and pulled him away from the girl
"Did you just say Cassidy as in Sally Langston's daughter Cassidy?"
"Um yea, I thought you recognized her"
"No I didn't but why did she call you?
"Whenever Cassidy needs someone to bail her out it's me, I always fix whatever problem she's in, I only brought you because I wasn't sure if it was a big problem, but luckily it's not." Billy explained
"Are you serious? Her getting detained at a bar is a big deal" Olivia snapped
"Compared to some of the things she's done, this is water under the bridge, just hold on and I'll fix it" he said as he walked over to the manager
"That your daughter?" the manager asked motioning to the girl
"Something like that" he said "Now listen Gentleman none of us want to go to the cops, it's just lots of paperwork and bureaucratic red tape. You don't want to have to report her for the fight and I don't want to report you for not carding her. So how about we both just forget this ever happened
"Fine man, as long as she doesn't come back here again"
"Oh she won't, and just as a signing bonus here's 20"
"I don't need 20 dollars man"
"Oh no this is twenty 100 dollar bills so I guess technically this is 2000 dollars"
"Oh shit, what are you, some kind of drug dealer?" the bartender asked
"Well if I told you I'd have to kill you so let's just say I'm a guy who knows that there's always someone who needs bailing out." Billy said as he turned to leave Olivia and Cassidy followed in suit. as soon as they got outside Cassidy began to shiver
"Oh god you're freezing" Billy said as he took off his suit jacket and gave it to Cassidy
"Oh this is so sweet, but now you must be freezing, here I'll help you "she said as she wrapped her arms around a very uncomfortable Billy.
"Cassidy what have we talked about a million times?" he said as he untangled himself from her arms.
"But …I'm almost 18"
"Cassidy…."
"Come I'm putting you on a train back to boarding school"
"But all my friends are…"
"I'm not letting you go back to our friends who did that"
"But…my clothes "she pleaded
"Your friends will bring them back for you and besides judging by what you're wearing now, it's not stuff you're going to be allowed to wear after your mom finds out where you've been."
"You can't tell my mom" Cassidy pleaded
"I have to tell her, off course it will be an edited version of the truth in which you didn't get drunk, you just went there to bail out your friends who then bolted on you"
"Omg you're going to lie for me thank you so much" she squealed
"I'm only doing it so that I don't have to spend hours tomorrow with your mother praying to god to fix her messed up daughter" Billy said
The three of them headed to a train station where Cassidy got on a train back to Georgia. Billy payed the conductor to make sure that she didn't leave the train. Afterwards Olivia and Billy walked back to the hotel, they leaned against the wall outside of the chatting
"You realize she took your jacket right?" Olivia said
"Oh ya well you know she needed it more than I did"
"Well that sweet, you bailing her out and everything"
"Yea well Cassidy like family"
"Oh she clearly wants to be part of your family"
"Oh yes, Cassidy and I have a special relationship, basically her flirting with me , and me reminding her of the age difference and her reminding me that the king of Monaco and his wife are super far apart an since her mom's going to be vice president that she's basically American royalty"
"Well you can't argue with that logic" Olivia teased
"She's actually not a bad kid , well I mean I guess she is , but it was hard for her growing up in the public eye, and Sally well Sally's very um…strict"
"Believe me I know, she's a piece of work " Olivia said
"I mean she's not horrible though, she saw potential in me that nobody saw. She let me run her senate campaign at 24. I was one of the youngest people to ever manage a presidential campaign"
"Wow I never knew that" Olivia said
"Yea well I guess I wasn't very good because we lost"
"Oh boo hoo poor you I'm not joining your little pity party" Olivia teased
"It's not a pity party it's just sad" He said as he leaned in and kissed her
