Chapter two.
He was in bed, just thinking about the latest events. She left again, leaving him on his own. Why? They had a plan, they would be together. He had earned her, he had chosen her, and now, she was gone once again. What had happened? He wondered.
He turns around and sees Mellie sleeping next to him, and he knew that neither Mel or Him were happy, and he wanted to fix that; she was his wife, Not for long he thought. Fitz closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
The next morning, the first thing he did was contact his lawyer, John, as to start his divorce papers. He was decided: he would divorce his wife, remain President and go after his Livvie. He had now only to start planning and doing.
The meeting with John went well; the papers were going to be ready for that night and he would be divorced in less than 6 months if he convinced Mel. He had talked with Cyrus about his plans. At first he hesitated about helping him, but at the end he realized that he couldn't change the President's mind, so he agreed. Plans were starting to being made, press control, and just in case, plan B and C involving lots of dirt for starters on Mellie and many more people who would cause scandals.
He had one important thing to do left, find the love on his life and convince her that everything would be okay; that they could do it together; that everything they had was not a dirty secret, it was love and it could be more than enough.
He called Tom and Hal and asked them to take him to Olivia's apartment.
The ride was long. He could only think on what should he said to Liv, how to convince her, how to make her believe that they could be good, even great together. He could no longer live without her, he could barely breathe, let alone sleep without her, he needed her, and he knew that Liv needed him too. When he got there, he knocked, and waited, and waited. 10 minutes had passed and he still had no answer.
He still had a key that she had given him long ago, when he got elected.
Election Day, years ago.
-"Fitz, we can't continue with this, we are going to get caught, and your presidency is going to be over before it even starts. We can't see each other anymore, not here at least." She said closing the space of the cold bed between them.
-"Sweet Baby, no, don't over think this. We will figure something out, we always had". He replied kissing her lightly.
- "I, I think we should stop seeing each other, you have a family, children, wife and we cannot afford a scandal."
-"Liv, I can't stop, you are the most important person in my life, I can't just stop, don't you get it? You are more important to me that this new job. I can back down, you just have to ask for it and I'll do it. I love you. I love you. I love you. I can't live without you..." He started
-"I know Fitz; I want this as much as you do. I am just trying to be rational here. I don't want you to let me go, we should think about something, but now let's go to sleep. We had a long day tomorrow". With this words, resting her head in his chest they both went to sleep.
The morning after, when he woke up, she was no longer there; there was a little box in his pillow. He opened it and it had a little note "This is what I came up with: this is the key of my apartment, I am sure you know where I live. Be careful. I'll be waiting for you. I love you too. O." A bright smile took over his face and didn't leave for the day. He kept his key with him since then…
Today.
He opened the door. His face was transformed. He was in shock. He would never have imagined that something like this would ever happen.
What do you think that happened? What about Liv?
Peace & Love
