Chapter Five

Olivia called into work the next morning letting Cyrus know she was not feeling well. She was wearing herself thin between the cases she was on and trying to spend time with Fitz. Once she got off the phone with Cyrus she sent Fitz a quick text.

OP: Hey, not feeling that great this morning going to work from home today. I will miss you. Have a great day.

Fitz was getting dressed when he heard his phone go off and smiled when he saw Olivia's picture pop up. His smile faded when he saw the message.

Fitz: Beautiful, sorry you are feeling bad. Anything I can do or that you need? I can come by at lunch with soup.

Olivia couldn't believe this man. He said and did the right things everytime.

OP: Thanks, just tired and need to rest. I sent you an email about the case. Let me know your thoughts once you read it. No need to come by. If I am coming down with something I don't want you to catch it. :)

Fitz was disappointed but he was more worried that when he went to go look at the house that she would see him. He decided he would get her some take out and leave it at the door once he looked at the house just in case she happened to look outside and see him. He didn't want to scare her off. He knew her well enough that if she saw him looking at the house she would run for the hills.

Fitz: I am going to come by and leave you lunch. I will just ring your doorbell so I wont get sick even though I feel a little bad now since I will not see you today and maybe tomorrow if you are still not feeling well. :(

OP: You are the best boyfriend a girl could ask for.

Fitz: Boyfriend? That's new.

Olivia smiled

OP: Well, there is this other guy but he doesn't bring me soup and hold my hand on walks so I guess by deferment you won out.

Olivia laughed at herself as she hit send.

Fitz busted out in laughter as he read her last message. He thought to himself that she was the most wonderful woman he has ever met.

Fitz: Good thing you snagged me when you did then because from what the story is around the firm is that I am a good looking, smart and rich man that can get any woman he wants...i will have to say though that I am in fact the lucky one and can call you my girlfriend.

OP: When I am feeling better mister I promise you are getting so lucky. Okay, I am going to lay down. Talk to you later.

Fitz: Rest up and feel better because once you do I am cashing in on your promise. Heart you.

Olivia smiled and noticed that he didn't put I love you but I heart you. Made her think he wasn't going to say it again since she didn't say it to him. That made her feel worse.

After sleeping for about three hours Olivia woke up and felt much better. She checked her phone and saw that Fitz said he would be stopping by to drop off her soup and would leave it on the table outside on her porch.

She made her way to see if it was there and it was. As she was walking back into the house she saw his car down at the house for sale. She thought what in the world was he doing down there. She looked for a minute but then just walked back into the house to grab her phone.

OP: Fitz, thanks for the soup heating it up now. Is that your car down my street? What are you doing?

Fitz saw the message and immediately paniked.

"Shit, she saw my car Monica." Fitz said trying to think about what to send her back.

Fitz: Hey beautiful, hope you are feeling better. I am down here. Saw a realtor and I just was curious and I had the time to look at it since my girlfriend is sick and can't eat lunch with me.

OP: Well, your girlfriend is very sorry but she is feeling better and will be able to see you tomorrow. The house is amazing isn't it?

Fitz: Glad you are feeling better and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. As I drive by you can flash me or something through the window...its just a suggestion and yes, the house is amazing.

OP: You are funny, nothing will be flashed Fitzgerald Grant but nice try.

Fitz: Oh, the whole name, that can't be good. I will text or call you later to check on you. Get some rest and eat my soup it is a miracle worker.

OP: One, the whole name is not good and two I know you didn't make this soup so you can't call it yours but it is delicious. Call me later, I want to hear your voice.

Fitz smiled at her ommission to wanting to hear his voice, that was a good thing.

Fitz: I will call you around 9. I have a dinner thing to attend that I wish my girlfriend wasn't feeling bad so she could go with me.

OP: This girlfriend sounds like a handful.

Fitz: Oh, she is but I love having her in my hands...all night long.

Olivia was now blushing.

OP: Okay, we need to stop before I let you in my house and do things that will surely make you catch my cold.

Fitz: It would be well worth it, just say the word and I will be there to grab handfuls of you.

OP: No, stop now.

Fitz: Okay, later beautiful.

Fitz took a look around the house again and told Monica to put in an offer and what he would be able to spend on it. Once he left the house he drove by Olivia's and just honked the horn. Olivia heard and tried to get to the window but by the time she was there he was already passed the house.

Fitz wasn't sure how he was going to explain that he bought the house for them or even when, but he knew it had to be at the perfect time or she would run or try everything she could to get out of a commitment.

The dinner was going great with all the people from the firm and board memebers unitl Fitz saw Amanda Tanner and a few of the other paralegals walk in. He had no idea they were invited to this dinner since it was dealing with a lot of decisions regarding them and interns that would be coming in. Amanda came and sat at the table he was at and he rolled his eyes, she clearly knew what she was doing and he knew it too.

"Hi Mr. Grant, both of them and Mr. Beane" She said with a smile.

Fitz said hello but then pulled out his phone and saw that it was close to 9. He decided to send Olivia a quick text.

Fitz: How is my girlfriend feeling? Still here at this dinner, it may be a little later than 9 before I can call. Will you still be up?

Olivia read the message and smiled but was getting tired and was only waiting up for him to call.

OP: Your girlfriend is feeling much better but is getting very tired. I am heading to bed, so I will see you in the morning at the office. Have a good night.

Fitz felt bad that he couldn't call her and wanted to hear her voice, he excused himself for a moment and went in to the hallway at the restaurant to call her real quick.

Olivia heard her phone ring and smiled when she saw it was Fitz.

"Hi"

"Hi, I wanted to call before you went to sleep. I am glad you are feeling better and can come in tomorrow. Don't come in if you feel bad, don't push yourself."

"I feel better and I think a good night sleep will work wonders. How is the dinner?" Olivia asked climbing into bed.

"Dinner is good, we are done, its just a bunch of us making a few deals with the board about adding more paralegals and some interns over some scotch." Fitz said as he heard someone coming down the hall.

Olivia was about to say something until she heard a womans voice say there you are to someone and since she could hear it she assumed it was Fitz.

"Fitz, is that woman speaking to you?"

Fitz shut his eyes because he knew that this could and probably would end badly. Olivia heard him tell her he would be right back waiting on him to respond to her on the phone.

"Liv, they are waiting on me to get back, I wanted to say a quick good night to you and check on you." He was hoping that would be the end of it but he knew better.

Olivia was fuming, why would a woman be looking for him and sound so comfortable at a business dinner to approach him like she had not knowing what he was on the phone discussing and who he was talking to.

"Okay Fitz, I will let you get back to your dinner and whoever that is that is looking for you since you are being summoned by who I can only assume sounded like Amanda."

Before he could say anything about her and the other few paralegals showing up she had hung up the phone.

Damn it Fitz said as he walked back into the room they were using at the restaurant. He talked to his father and said if he was no longer needed he needed to go. His father nodded and told him he would see him in the next few days.

Fitz made his way to his car and was going straight to Olivia's house since she apparently had shut her phone off. He didn't want to disturb her but he also didn't want her going to bed pissed off at him.

Olivia was sitting in her bed flipping channels when she heard her doorbell. She knew it was him but didn't want to go open the door but heard him start yelling that she open the door. She made her way downstairs and opened the door.

"What do you want Fitz? And quit yelling, my neighbors will be outside soon if you keep that up."

Fitz had to catch his breath because even though she was sick she looked beautiful in her silk pajamas.

"Why did you hang up on me and not let me explain that the paralegals showed up at the end of dinner and had some drinks while we sat around and talked. You don't hang up on me Olivia. May I come in?"

"No you may not. I am going to bed and we can talk about this tomorrow. Good night."

Olivia was shutting the door and Fitz pushed it open and walked in.

"We will talk about this now, you are not going to make me feel bad or guilty for nothing Olivia. I was at a dinner that I wanted you at but since you were not feeling well it didn't work out that way. What do you think I did, call Amanda and the others when I knew you wouldn't be there and ask them to come. If you do then you are being ridiculous."

Olivia looked at him and then sat down on the couch.

"Don't be stupid Fitz, I know you didn't invite them but it is annoying to me that this woman keeps popping up and is so comfortable addressing you in that manner. Clearly she saw you were talking on the phone with someone and still didn't care about interupting you. I am sorry I hung up with you but it just makes me so angry that girls are like that."

Fitz was smiling at her and it was annoying her and he knew it.

"Stop smiling you ass." Olivia said with a little laugh in her voice.

Fitz made his way to her and held out his hand for her to take. Olivia took it and he pulled her to him.

"Olivia Carolyn Pope, there is no other woman I want more than you and I am staying here tonight doll."

Fitz picked her up and made his way to her bedroom. Once they reached the room he placed her on the bed and began to take off his clothes. Olivia watching him the whole time. She was getting warm and knew that it was not the fever from her cold coming back.

"Liv...Liv...OLIVIA!"

Olivia came out of her trance.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"I am going to jump in the shower, I will be out in a minute. Get under the covers and I will be back in here in no time." Fitz said walking into her bathroom.

Olivia was laying in the bed thinking about him in the shower and knew she was going to have to go in there. She walked in and began to brush her teeth looking at the fogging shower glass.

"Fitz, I have an extra toothbrush here for you."

"Okay, thank you baby. I will be out in a minute."

Olivia was slowly taking her pajamas off and opened the shower door. When Fitz heard it close he turned around and saw her standing there.

"Liv, what are you doing? Get out of here. You can't be in here looking like that and sick. I may not be able to stop the things that I want to do to you. So you need to march that pretty little ass of yours out of here before I take you up against the wall."

Olivia smiled at him and turned around like she was going to leave but then looked over her shoulder.

"Is this the pretty little ass you are referring to Fitz?" Olivia asked shimming her butt.

Fitz reached out for her and pulled her to him.

"This is the ass I am referring to." Fitz said grabbing hold of her butt and moving her up against the wall.

Olivia felt his erection and looked down.

"I think we need to do something about that." Olivia said pointing down.

"What do you have in mind...my beautiful girlfriend?" He smiled at her as she placed her hand around him and began stroking him up and down.

Fitz placed his hands on the wall beside her head as she continued to caress him. "Shit, Liv. That feels so good but you have to stop babe."

"Why?" Olivia said looking deep into his eyes as her hand continued to pleasure him.

Fitz leaned in and kissed her cheek. "Because I want to come inside of you, not while you give me a hand job, which by the way you are very good at."

Olivia smiled and moved on her tip toes to kiss him. She then whispered in his ear.

"Then get inside of me Mr. Grant."

Fitz moved quickly to pick her up and brace her against the wall, wrapping her legs around his waist as he entered her. Both let out a moan as the sensation of him going inside of her wet center.

Olivia started to move her hips and Fitz told her to stop.

"What, why?" Olivia looked at him confused.

"Baby, I am about to lose it and need a minute to control myself. You feel so good and I have to pace it." Fitz said smiling at her.

A minute passed and he began to move slowly and the pleasure was already taking over both of them. Fitz adjusted them slightly and the new angle had him rubbing up against her little bud with each thrust.

"Feels so good Fitz, don't stop. Shit, I am so close. Don't stop babe, yes, just like that." Olivia was moaning out. Fitz was close also, he took her nipple in his mouth as he continued to thrust and when he bit down a little on it Olivia yelled out as she reached her climax. Fitz went into double time to reach his release.

They had washed each other off and made it to bed. Fitz curled up behind her and pulled her to his body. He whispered to her good night and gave her a kiss in the crook of her neck. Olivia said goodnight and intertwined their fingers on her stomach and both fell asleep moments later.

The next morning Olivia woke and didn't feel Fitz in bed with her but could smell something cooking from downstairs. Olivia walked downstairs and saw him eating bacon and singing to Pink.

"Pink fan, learning more and more about you." Olivia said reaching around him from the back and wrapping her hands around his waist.

Fitz turned around and squeezed her to his body.

"Good morning babe. You look rested."

"I sleep better with you and I am very well rested thanks to that."

Fitz kissed her lips lightly.

"Good to know that, I also sleep better with you in my arms."

Olivia felt a shift in the conversation coming and tensed up. Fitz felt her body change and knew what she was thinking as soon as he felt it.

"Olivia, don't over think it. I am not moving in nor am I asking you to move in with me. I am just saying that I sleep better with you, thats all."

Olivia let go and smiled up at him.

"Thanks for breakfast, it looks delicious." she was avoiding and she knew it and knew he knew it also.

"Well, eat fast because we have to get into the office. I am full from sampling as I cooked. I am going to run upstairs to grab my things and head to my place for some clothes." Fitz made his way upstairs and began to collect his things.

Olivia sat and ate and thought to herself she has to allow herself to love this man, because she did. In the short months she has known him she has fallen in love with him and needed to trust her gut. As Fitz came down the stairs yelling something about socks and shoes she turned to look at him.

"Fitz, can you come here a minute?"

Fitz made his way to her and she opened her legs so she could pull him closer to her.

"What is it Liv? You feeling okay?"

"Yes, I want you to bring some things over here so you are not having to run back and forth if we happen to spend the night together." Olivia was looking at him and trying to gage his reaction.

Fitz just smiled and kissed her. "That sounds like a good idea to me beautiful. I will pack a bag and bring it over. You can always come to my place also you know."

Olivia kissed him back.

"I think that can be arranged as well. I mean we are now calling eachother boyfriend and girlfriend which is making it official I think." Olivia smiled that cute smile he adored.

"Yes, it is official and exclusive." Fitz said grabbing her and carrying her to the door. "See you at the office...girlfriend."

"Yes you will...boyfriend. See you soon." Olivia closed the door behind him and smiled all the way up to her bedroom to get ready for the day and happy she had made the decision to have him bring things over.

Fitz was driving out of the neighborhood and smiling, it wasn't an I love you from Olivia but it was a big move for her and he knew it. He smiled all the way home and then to the office.
