Hey y'all …. So this is just a short chapter that takes place at Camp David while writing the State of the Union. Loosely based of the show but minus the Olitz. Also to the person who pointed out that my Lazarus bible reference was wrong … I'm not at all religious so I'm sorry I mixed it up ….. I'm make sure to stay away from biblical references Hope you enjoy :)

It was late at night and Olivia was lying in her cabin at Camp David. She stared at the oak ceiling trying to fall asleep, but no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't. Maybe it was the noises …. It was so quiet here unlike D.C. where it was all sirens 24/7. As Olivia squirmed and re arranged her pillow she found herself deep in thought. She was really here… at Camp David! At only 33 she had successfully managed a presidential campaign. She had achieved everything she had ever wanted professionally … huge name recognition a cushy job at the Whitehouse, professionally she had everything, but personally she was kind of a mess. She had dated countless guys on the D.C. party scene from lobbyists to senators to the president of the United States of America. Ah yes she had been involved with the married president of the United States who couldn't seem to take no for an answer. Even thought she had specifically told him that their relationship was strictly professional he was very into stretching professional. Just today he had made a pass at her like a thousand times.

Earlier in the day:

Olivia was walking from her cabin to the main meeting area where they would work on the most important speech of his presidency. As she was walking she suddenly felt him behind her causing the hairs on her back to stick up.

"Those jeans look hot on you" Fitz whispered

"Stop it" she said firmly

"Why? Nobody's around it's just you and me and a bunch of empty cabins in the woods. "

"Were here strictly on business and you know that" she said feeling him get closer to her

"I know that nothing's wrong with mixing business and pleasure"

"Yes there is especially when the pleasure involves the married president of the United States"

"I need you Liv I don't know how to be without you"

"Well you're going to have to learn because we are done" she said hurrying ahead to the meeting leaving him in the dust *End Flashback*

As Olivia lay in bed thinking about Fitz she felt a mix of sadness and joy and a lot of other jumbled up emotions. As she thought of him she also began to think of Billy. They had gone on a few casual dares and had had fun. He was nice and funny and available and things were only slightly awkward between them considering they had already had sex. As she thought of Billy she decided to text him to help cure her boredness

Liv : "Hey"

Billy : "Hey what's up?"

Liv: "The ceiling"

Billy: "Seriously! You really had to take it so literally?"

Liv: "I literally did … besides I need to drag out this Convo so I can avoid going to sleep and getting eaten by a bear."

Billy: "If u see a bear just punch it in the face"

Liv: "Okay A I'm pretty sure that's for sharks and B there is no way in hell I would punch a dam bear"

Billy: "When I'm at your funeral I'll think about this moment and laugh"

Liv: "You're so mean … I hate you"

Billy : "Who's the mean one now…. Heading off to Camp David and leaving me to a prayer weekend with Sally"

Liv: "Aw poor you at least your not stuck in the middle of the woods in a dam cabin"

Billy: "Wow u know you've made it big when your complaining about spending the weekend at Camp David … just think of the coffee fetching interns and then tell me how unfortunate your life is"

Liv: "Ugh let me vent without making me feel bad"

Billy : Sorry

Liv: It's okay and oh god I legit hear scratching outside!"

Billy: "Their coming for you !"

Liv : "Oh god I want to kill you"

Billy : "Ur so nice"

Liv : "I know …. Finally falling asleep … Gnight"

Billy : Good night don't let the bear bite

Next day:

It was late afternoon after an intense day of back and forth on the state of the union. Finally they had come up with a genius plan for free collage to anyone who volunteered for two years. Olivia was excited about the plan and about the next four years. After the meeting Liv and Cyrus decided to take a walk.

"What is that smell" Cyrus asked

"Fresh air, sunshine, the great outdoors" She explained

"Fresh air makes me very nervous, I'm an indoor person. That's what the person I was dating says …. said" He explained as a look of sadness crossed his face

"You should call James, I bet he misses you" she said with a mischievous smile wrapping her arm around his. She could tell he was shocked that she knew "Worst kept secret in Washington" she explained

"I'm the leader of the republican party…. It's complicated" he admitted

"It's not. You want to be with the man you love …. Be with him "

"Ugh … I'll think about it … but what about you who are you dating?" he asked

"I don't date"

"Really that's your excuse?" he said raising an eyebrow

"Well theirs sorta a guy , and he's nice and funny and normal but I don't do normal … I mean the last normal guy I dated was Edison and we all know how that turned out." She said with a laugh

"Yeah … what the hell ever happened to him?" Cyrus asked

"He's still a senator I think"

"Ha …. Poor Edison all that man wanted was to marry you" Cyrus said laughing

"Yeah well I wasn't in the right place to get married back them …. I mean if I was married I would have never come on the trail and then you would have lost"

"That's true …. But still poor Edison"

"Yeah … I guess I really did hurt him" she said as they continued walking. After a minute of strange silence Cyrus finally spoke up

"It's Billy isn't it?" He asked

"What?" she asked trying to seem oblivious

"The normal Mr. nice guy it's him right?" Cyrus asked

"Maybe" she said quietly

"Yess I was right! Verna owes me ten dollars"
