Chapter 2
They had made it to the restaurant after talking with Michael. Sitting across from each other it was all business at the moment discussing what they each thought about their meeting with Michael.
Olivia put down her wine glass. "I think he is holding something back. Did you see the look on his face when we asked who Lauren was? He tightened his Jaw. Did he seriously not think we would find out about her. What do you think it is? Girlfirend on the side?"
Fitz laughed. "No, there is something there. I think he would have told us if she was another girlfriend. He kept saying to move on and that she is not and couldn't help him at all. I think there is a deeper story there, we just have to dig and find it. Now, no more business, we need to discuss that kiss you planted on me out of no where."
Olivia was blushing and started to feel warm. "well, I got some good advice from Abby and thought maybe I should start listening. One the drive to Michaels when you weren't talking to me I felt hurt and all I wanted to do was grab your hand and hold it." At that moment Fitz reached across the table and grabbed her hand and rubbed his thumb over her knuckles. "As I was saying, I knew that if I let that feeling pass I may never get the opportunity again so I decided to jump."
Fitz shifted a little in his seat, he would be lying if he was not wanting to take her home right then and put her in his bed. "Livvie, I think what is going on here between us is something and I can't wait to see where it goes. I will not sleep with you tonight so quit looking at me like that. I am not that kind of a man." He smiled at her and her heart melted.
"Good thing Fitz, because I am definitely not that kind of a woman. We are going to take this slow and like I said, no kissing or holding hands in the office. I have worked to hard for people to be talking that I am getting these cases because I am sleeping with the boss' son." Olivia had a very serious look on her face.
"One, you are not sleeping with the boss' son...yet. And two, we will take this slow. I am a get to know a person before I let them see me naked. Underneath this three piece suit is a man of steel and you have to be ready to witness something so good." He laughed loudly as Olivia was smiling at him. "You said it yourself I smell good so if you see this chest with no clothes on there is no telling what you might do."
Olivia's mouth dropped open, "You heard Abby and I. I am mortified."
"Dont' be, I know that I smell good. By the way, you smell amazing too."
"Fitz, one thing that we should talk about is we are different. Being a mixed couple could cause issues." Olivia said hesitantely.
"Wait...what? I'm not black?" He said bringing her hand to his lips. "Liv, I know that it could be issues for other people looking in or at us but I see you, not the color you are, I see only you and your heart and I like what I see. Is it going to be hard for you to deal with because if so we need to let it be known now before things get deeper."
"I would be lying to you if I said it didn't cross my mind after I kissed you. I have been in many different relationships with many different men and have encountered the hatred before. We will just have to deal with it. I can, I just needed to make sure you could."
"Whoa, how many men and relationships are we talking about here?" Fitz was curious and a little jealous. "You know my history so it's only fair Ms. Pope."
Olivia shifted in her seat. "Fitz, there have been a few. Three serious and a couple not so serious."
Fitz spit his water out a little, "Three serious and two not so serious. Okay."
"Is that a problem? I am not saying I slept with all of them but I have been in love three times, well what I thought was love and they all ended badly so I casually dated after the last bad break up and that was about a year and a half ago."
Feeling more at ease Fitz rubbed her hand again. "Well Ms. Pope, you know my past so I think we are all clear on that. You ready to get out of here and me take you to your car?"
"Yes, it is getting late."
They pulled into the garage of the office and Fitz pulled right beside her car and put his car in park. He turned towards Olivia who did the same. Fitz was leaning in to kiss her good night when she pulled back.
"What?" Fitz looked confused.
"This is our first date. I already said I am not that kind of girl." Olivia moved to get out of the car with a huge smile on her face.
Fitz was quick to jump out and get to her door. "Well played Ms. Pope. Would you mind if I kissed you on the cheek good night?" he asked like a little kid.
"I think that will be fine Mr. Grant."
Fitz went to kiss her check and was very close to her ear. Once he was done kissing her cheek he whispered in her ear, "The next time I kiss you, you will have to ask me for it. I don't get turned down twice Ms. Pope."
Olivia felt her knees go weak. This man was her everything already and it scared her to death.
"Good night Fitz."
"Good night Livvie, will you please text me when you get home and safe?"
"I will, thank you for a wonderful first date." Olivia shut her car door and smiled at him as she drove off.
Once she was home and in the bed she decided to text Fitz.
OP: Made it home and safe. Thanks again for tonight
Fitz: I am glad, my goodness, how far away do you live? I have been waiting forever it seems.
OP: I don't live far but came home and got ready for bed and just crawled into bed.
Fitz: So what are you wearing?
OP: Oh no sir, that will not be happening.
Fitz: A man can dream. Good night Livvie.
OP: Good night Fitz, I am in a t-shirt and my panties...dream away.
Fitz couldn't believe she just wrote that back to him. He couldn't leave it at that,
Fitz: You tease but thanks for the thoughts you put in my head, there will be some good dreams tonight thanks to that visual.
Olivia just smiled and didn't respond. She knew she needed to stop before things got to heated.
The next morning when Olivia arrived at the office there were people running around and whispering. She walked into her office and Abby was sitting on her couch waiting.
"So, you and Fitz huh?" Abby said looking up at her.
"What are you talking about?"
"Liv, someone saw you in the parking lot last night when he dropped you off and started a rumor about you two."
Olivia slammed her purse down. "What are you talking about. We went to dinner after going to Michaels and he brought me back to my car."
"And there was no kissing outside of your car in the garage?" Abby said now standing in front of her so she could read Olivia's face.
She smiled, "He kissed me on the cheek in the garage when he dropped me off." Olivia looked at Abby "But I kissed him at Michaels before we went in to talk to him."
Abby pointed her finger at Olivia, "I knew it, that smile you have on your face and you didn't call me last night, I knew something was up. Liv, you know I love you and will do what you want me to so tell me what you need me to do about these rumors."
Just when Olivia was about to say something there was a knock on her door and Fitz walks in.
"Good morning ladies. Liv, may I talk to you a minute?"
"Sure, Abby I will catch up with you before lunch okay."
Abby nodded her head and left Olivia's office smiling for her friend.
"Fitz, after only one night a kiss on the cheek someone is starting a rumor about the two of us." Olivia sat down behind her desk.
"I am not worried about the rumors Liv. As long as we don't feed them it will stop."
"Well, good way to stop them as soon as I get here you are in here five minutes later." Olivia laughed but was also being serious.
Fitz moved closer to her leaning over her desk. "Nothing is going on in here."
"Get out of here. I will see you in a few minutes for the meeting."
"Could I get a good morning hug at least since you left me hanging last night on the phone?"
"No, now get out of here." Olivia pointed her finger to the door.
"Before I go, can I take you to dinner and a movie tonight?"
"I think that can be arranged."
"Great, I will pick you up at your place around 7, I already have a movie picked out with a place in mind for dinner if that is okay?"
"I think that will be fine. Now I am not going to sit by you at this meeting so don't be sad when I don't." Olivia started getting her stuff togther.
"I am fine with that Ms. Pope" and just like that he walked out of her office.
The meeting with Cyrus about what all was going on was quick and each little team let the other know what they had found and Olivia let it be known about her concern of who this Lauren is to Michael. Huck spoke up and said he was still digging but would find it for them.
The rest of the day Olivia stayed in her office going over testimony on another case she was helping with and then looked at the time and knew she needed to get home to change for her date with Fitz. She sent him a quick text.
OP: heading out, see you at 7, here is my address. 208 White Pond Avenue.
Fitz responded with a smiley face.
As he was getting ready he was nervous. Even thought they had gone out last night this is an official date, he was picking her up at her place. He made his way out his door to head to Olivia's place.
Olivia was still getting ready. She couldn't decide if she wanted to wear a dress or jeans and a cute top. In the end the dress won. As she pulled her hair up the door bell rang and she made her way to it.
"Wow, you look amazing." Fitz said after Olivia let him in.
"Thank you, you look nice also. I have never seen you in anything other than a suit so the jeans and blazer looks good on you sir. Have a seat, so what is the plan tonight?"
Fitz sat down in a chair in her living room and she was standing in front of him asking if he wanted something to drink. In that moment Fitz grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her on top of his lap.
"What are you doing Fitz?"
"I want to enjoy the moment. So sit here for a minute and relax."
Olivia relaxed in that moment and looked into his eyes. She couldn't help herself, she lowered her head to kiss him but he noticed that is what she was about to do he turned his head.
"Is something wrong?" Olivia asked disappointed he turned his head.
"I told you last night the next time I kiss you that you would have to ask. So ask."
"I am not going to ask you to kiss me, that is insane." Olivia said about to get up when he held her tigher.
Fitz moved his lips to just over hers "Ask me Livvie."
Olivia could feel herself getting aroused by this man just speaking to her and she needed to kiss him. "Fitz, please kiss me."
Fitz moved his hands up her arms until he had it around her neck and pulled her in for a kiss. It was soft and sweet at first but as the kiss deepened Olivia moved her hand to his hair and grabbed a hold of it. Before she knew it he had grabbed her and moved to where she was straddling him and the last thing she was thinking about was the date.
One of Fitz's hands started to ride up her leg and then her thigh when she finally pulled away from him and looked in his eyes.
"Fitz, we need to go before this goes to far."
Fitz shook his head in agreement, "I am going to need a minute before we get up."
Olivia laughed but she was also smiling inside knowing she had that affect on him. She got up and straightened her dress out. Olivia leaned down and pecked him on his lips. "Take your time."
Dinner was great and the movie was funny. They made it back to her apartment and Fitz came in and had a beer while she went to change.
Olivia walked back in the living room with yoga pants and a over sized sweater that fell off her shoulder. Fitz couldn't take his eyes off of her as she poured a glass of wine. She sat down beside him on the couch.
"Would you like to turn on the television or would you prefer music?" Olivia asked grabbing the remote control.
"Either is fine with me, no preference."
Olivia pointed the remote to the radio and pressed on. It was some light jazz playing and Fitz was really enjoying it and the silence that had fallen between them that was just a comfortable one. About five minutes later Olivia turned to him.
"Thank you for tonight, it was a lot of fun."
Fitz reached for her glass and placed it on the table in from of them. He pulled her on his lap again and started kissing her. Again it started to get heated and Olivia found herself grinding a little on his lap and could immediately feel what she was doing him.
"Liv, you have to stop or I am going to find your room and get you in the bed."
Olivia broke away from him a little but then went and kissed his ear and bit his earlobe. He let out a soft moan. They began kissing again and in one swift move he moved her underneath him on the couch. His hand moved up her thigh as he pushed his erection against her.
"God, you feel so good." Olivia was moving her hands up the back of his shirt feeling his skin.
"Livvie, we have to stop this. There is nothing more that I want to do right now then take you to bed but we are taking this slow and I need to go before I do just that."
A few minutes later they were at the door and giving each other a kiss good night.
"Good night Fitz and thanks again."
"Good night Livvie, I will see you in the morning."
Olivia backed up against the door after she shut it and shook her head. She knew this was the man she was suppose to be with but it had been two dates, was she being stupid about this. She made her way to her bed and just as she was about to fall asleep a message came on her phone.
Fitz: Made it home, thanks for a wonderful night Liv.
OP: Glad you made it home. I had a wonderful time also. You are going to be trouble.
Fitz: I hope so, see you in the a.m. Ms. Pope. Sweet dreams.
OP: Sweet dreams Mr. Grant.
