Again, I am going to say this every chapter I write...thank you all so much for supporting my story.
Here is the next chapter, I wish I owned these characters but unfortunately I don't.
Chapter Seven...
Two week into the trial
"Your Honor, we would like to submit the phone records of our client to show that he was far away from the scene of the crime at the time of death." Fitz went to grab the evidence when the judge interrupted him.
"Mr. Grant, I will allow the evidence but the prosecution has not seen the records, therefore, they have until tomorrow. You are dismissed for the evening jury, please remember the rules of this court. We will be back in here at 10 a.m." The judge stood up and walked out of the court room.
Olivia got up from her seat to go talk to Fitz. "You did great today baby."
Fitz smiled, "Baby...so you are addressing me in the court room as baby now."
"Well, no one is around and heard me so it doesn't matter what I call you." Olivia said smiling back at him. "I am heading home, you coming over or are you going to stay at your place?"
"I have to run to the office but I will be coming over after. Do you have a preference for dinner?"
"No, surprise me, but no mexican. I have had enough from that place you love for the next month." Olivia grabbed her purse and briefcase and started to leave.
"You wound me Liv. That place is amazing...better than that chinese place you make me eat at every other night."
"Keep it up Grant and you will be eating that food alone and at your place." Olivia said moving to open the door of the court room.
Fitz walked into the house and called out to Olivia but got no response. He made his way up to her bedroom where he found her asleep on the bed wrapped in a towel. She looked so peaceful and didn't want to bother her but she also looked beautiful and he had to.
Fitz made his way up the bed trying not to wake her until he was on top of her. When Olivia felt the weight of Fitz she opened her eyes quickly.
"Hey beautiful, I didn't mean to startle you. You just looked so wonderful lying here and I know that there is nothing underneath this towel and I couldn't help myself." Fitz had moved his hand up her thigh as he talked to her.
Olivia moved her head up to meet his lips and kissed him. "You can wake me up like this anytime."
Fitz's hand continued to make his way up her leg until he was at her hot center. Olivia parted her legs for him to have access. Fitz smiled and kissed her passionately.
"Liv, you are so beautiful." Fitz moved his hand from her and undid the towel that was wrapped around her and just kept his eyes on her.
"Fitz, you are so wonderful to me." Olivia began to unbutton his shirt and pull it off his shoulders.
Fitz sat up and removed his pants and shoes then Olivia grabbed for his boxers to remove them. He leaned down and began to kiss her again while his hands made their way down. As he stroked her clit with his thumb and moved down her chest taking one of her nipples in his mouth. Olivia immediately arched her back and moaned.
As Fitz made his way down her body and parted her legs more he was getting more and more aroused by the moans Olivia continued to make. His mouth made it in between her legs and he took his tongue and flicked her clit.
"Shit...that feels so good." Olivia was moving her hips to match Fitz's stroke.
Fitz stopped and looked up as Olivia opened her eyes and looked down. "Be still Liv. I don't want you to move at all." Fitz took his hands and opened her legs further and held them down. He licked and sucked on her core until she was starting to shake.
"Yes baby, right there." Olivia was not moving but had a death grip on his hair with one hand and the sheets with another. Fitz knew she was close and doubled his efforts when he heard her moan out and her back arched so much he knew it had to hurt. Before she was done he entered her and started slow as they both moaned out the others name.
"Fuck Liv, its been a week and I don't know if I can go for that long again since you feel so damn good to me." Fitz whispered in her ear and kissed her neck.
Liv pulled his head up and brought his lips to hers in a kiss. "Fitz, move faster and harder. I am close again and I need you to give it to me."
Fitz kissed her and smiled. "I aim to please." Fitz started moving faster and lifted her leg up so he could go deeper. With the new angle he was rubbing her clit as he moved in and out of her.
"Damn...so good. Don't stop Fitz. Yes...yes...yes. Mmmmmm." Olivia found her release and so did Fitz. They laid together on the bed not saying anything until their breath evened out.
"Olivia, you are one amazing person and I am not just saying that because we just had some mind blowing sex. You make me want to be better and do better all the time."
Olivia lifted up off his chest onto her elbow. "Fitz, I feel the same. I love you and don't you forget it mister. Now, do I smell chinese?"
Fitz laughed and got up and threw his shirt to her as he slid his boxers on. "Yes, come on. We will have to reheat it now but it is from your favorite place."
They were eating leaning on the counter in the kitchen when Fitz just looked over at Olivia and smiled at her. Olivia looked at him.
"What, why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" Olivia asked.
Fitz shook his head and smiled. "No, you just look beautiful in my shirt eating chinese out of the carton and I can't remember when I have ever been happier in my life. Marry me Olivia Pope. Marry me and make my life complete."
Olivia put her carton down on the counter and just looked into his eyes. "Okay."
Fitz spit his food out. "Did you just say okay? Did you say okay to marrying me?"
Olivia moved closer to him and put her hands on his face. "Yes, I said okay to marrying you. I love you and can't see my life without you so yes Fitz, I will marry you."
Fitz gave her a quick peck on the lips. "wait here" he called out as he ran upstairs and back down. "Liv, I bought this and was going to do it at this romantic dinner and then go meet up with friends and family after but this was the perfect time and I love you. Say you will marry me again."
Fitz took her hand and she had tears in her eyes now as he slipped the beautiful ring on her finger.
"I can't believe you already had a ring and it is beautiful and yes I will marry you... a thousand times yes." Olivia kissed him.
The next morning they were rushing to get ready for work since they were up all night making love over and over again.
"Liv, I need to tell you something." Fitz yelled from the bedroom and it made her walk out of the bathroom.
"What is it?" Olivia could see the look of concern on his face.
"I bought a house. I bought a house for us about a month ago knowing that I would make you my wife eventually."
"What, you bought a house without me knowing and not knowing if I would like it or not? Like the neighborhood or not and you don't see the issue here?" Olivia said putting her earrings on.
"I think I know your taste and would never buy anything I knew you wouldn't love. Do you want to see it? If you don't like it I will sell and we will stay here until we find something you like. But I think you will love the place."
"The problem is that you are not seeing the issue here Fitz. You can't make a decision like this. If this is going to be our life together, we make the decision together." Olivia was angry and he knew it.
"We will go by the house, if you hate it. We will sell it okay. I am sorry I bought it but I had to act quick."
With a huff Olivia said okay as they made their way downstairs.
They got in the car and Fitz couldn't help but keep smiling as the backed up out of the driveway.
"We don't have a lot of time before court so we need to hurry up." Olivia said still mad at him.
Fitz began to go down the street when Olivia noticed he wasn't going out of her neighborhood.
"Fitz, where are you going? This is the long way around."
Fitz just smiled as he pulled into the driveway of their new house only a few houses down from where Olivia lived now. It was her dream house and he knew it.
"Here we are." Fitz placed the car in park.
Olivia looked at him. "You bought this house, you bought this house for me...for us I mean?"
"Yes, but if you don't like it we can sell."
Olivia hit his arm. "Fitz, you are the love of my life. Thank you for buying this house for us. I cant believe this. Its so amazing."
"We don't have time to go in Liv, but after work we can come here and you can walk through and we can decide what needs to be done. But first, you and I need to get to court and decide on a wedding date. People are going to be floored that we are getting married so soon." Fitz said grabbing her hand and kissing it.
"Who said anything about soon Mr. Grant? I just agreed, you have to go through the family and friend test before I walk down the aisle." Olivia said teasing him as she kissed his neck.
"Stop the teasing Liv, no marks and I am driving...to court might I add.
"Alright. I can't help it, you have proposed, bought me a house all within 12 hours and I can't help if I don't want to take my hands off of my fiance." Olivia said as she ran her hand up his thigh.
"Livvie, please stop or I am going to be late for court because I pull off the road and take you right here and we get arrested for public indecency. And by the way, I bought us a house, not you."
Olivia started laughing. "I know baby, it's OUR house."
Fitz and Olivia went into the court room and saw Abby and the rest of the crew sitting there with Cyrus.
"You ready Fitz? This is going to be a rough day of testifying." Cyrus asked shaking his hand.
"Yea, I am ready, the phone records are going to show where he was and Huck is working on the cameras around the area to try and find his car parked around the area also. Hopefully we will find it soon and can submit it also."
Everyone was talking about the case when Abby yelled. "Olivia, what in the hell is on your finger?"
Now, everyone was looking at her, well her hand and she had this big smile on her face.
"Well Fitz, I guess now is as good as time as any. Fitz asked me to marry him last night and I said yes." Olivia said holding her hand up so everyone could get a look at the ring.
Congratulations from everyone went around and soon court began. Cyrus was right, it was a rough day of cross examinations and Olivia could tell he was getting fed up with some of it. After the judge called recess for the day they all decided to go out to a bar and unwind and celebrate the engagement.
The bar was busy and they sat around talking about anything but the case. They had been there about an hour when Olivia felt someone kick her leg underneath the table.
"Ouch, Abby did you just kick me?" Olivia looked at her and Abby turned her head to the bar where Jake was sitting. "Oh, God."
Fitz looked between the two and looked back to Olivia "What? What are you to looking at?"
"Nothing important baby." Olivia leaned over and kissed him.
About three more shots in Olivia was feeling buzzed and Fitz was laughing at her and her playfulness. Just when everyone was about to get ready the waitress came over with an order of shots, which happen to be Olivia's favorite.
"Liv, did you order another one?" Fitz asked but before she could answer the waitress said that they were from the gentleman at the bar and pointed to Jake who raised his glass.
"Fuck" is all that came out of Olivia's mouth and she looked at him and nodded her head in a thank you.
"Liv, who is that?" Fitz looked at her.
Olivia turned to Fitz and took his face in her hands, "Babe, before I tell you and you get crazy that is my ex Jake. Remember, I am marrying you and I love you. Now I have to walk over there and say thank you. Do you want to come?"
Fitz couldn't be mad but he was jealous if he never ran into another man that had been able to be with his Livvie it would be too soon.
"I am going to pay the bill and then I will walk over to give you a minute with him." Fitz said handing his card to the waitress.
Olivia walked over to Jake and Fitz kept his eyes on her the whole time.
"Thanks for the shots stranger. How are you?" Olivia said sitting on the bar stool next to Jake.
"Olivia, you look amazing. I am good. How have you been? What has it been a year?" Jake said as he moved to run his hand down her arm. Olivia prayed a silent prayer that Fitz didn't see it. Olivia moved her hand to his to remove it when he noticed the engagement ring.
"Are you getting married Olivia?" Jake grabbed her hand.
Before Olivia could answer Fitz was reaching around her waist and saying yes for her. Fitz reached around her and put out his hand for Jake to shake. "Hi, I am Fitz."
Jake took his hand and introduced himself. "Wow, what a difference a year makes. You have a wonderful woman here in Liv."
Olivia felt his body tense when he referred to her as Liv. "Well, Jake we were actually on our way out. It was good to see you. Take care of yourself."
Jake reached out for her hand to kiss it. "Liv, I would like to take you out to lunch to catch up, would you be available later this week?"
Olivia didn't have to look at Fitz to know he was about to snatch her hand away from Jake. "Email me Jake, I am busy in court so I will have to see." Olivia looked to Fitz, "You ready baby?"
Fitz kissed her temple, "Yes I am. Nice to meet you Jake." Fitz reached to shake his hand again.
"You too Fitz, you are a lucky man to have this one say yes to you." Jake said pointing with his other hand to Olivia.
They said their goodbyes to everyone else and made their way back to the car. The ride was quiet at first but Olivia knew the question was coming, she was waiting on it.
Fitz grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Liv, did Jake ask you to marry him? Is that what he meant when he said I was lucky you said yes to me?"
"Jake was my last relationship before you and yes, a little over a year ago he asked me to marry him and I turned him down obviously." Olivia shifted in her seat uncomfortably not knowing where this was going.
"Why did you say no?" Fitz looked at her through the corner of his eye.
"I wasn't at that place in my life and I knew that he wasn't the one. I told him no and broke it off. Can't really stay with someone when you turn down a marriage proposal. He moved out that same week and until tonight I hadn't seen him since." Olivia unbuckled her seat belt as they pulled into the driveway.
"Wait, you two lived together, in this house? In the same bed I have made love to you in?" Fitz was turning red as they walked to the door.
Olivia turned to him. "Fitz, what did I say in the bar. I am marrying you, I said yes to you. I love you. Yes, we lived together, we were together for a long time but when he asked me to marry him the only thing that I could say was no. what did I say to you the minute you asked...i said okay. It has never been a doubt in my mind that you were the one. The moment I kissed you in that parking garage that night I knew I would be your wife one day."
Fitz looked at her and just went down and kissed her. He loved her so much and hearing her say such sweet things to him made him smile so big Olivia laughed at him. "Come on the future Mrs. Grant, I am ready for bed. And I want your sweet ass naked in the bed in 15 minutes."
"Yes sir. I have to do what my future husband tells me...well when it comes to being naked and in the bed that is." Olivia ran up the stairs screaming as Fitz slapped her ass.
