Chapter 3.
He opened the door. His face was transformed. He was in shock. He would never have imagined that something like this would ever happen.
There was lots of blood on the floor, on the couch, all over the place but there was not body. He went to the bathroom, the bedroom, only hoping not to find Liv there, and for his relief, she wasn't there. He only found Olivia's gold ring, the one she never took off and her gold watch. He took those items, read the intern inscription and remembered when he gave them to her.
Two years ago.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
-"Coming." He heard.
When she opened the door she only looked at him; her face was a mix of happiness and concern. He could guess that she thought she was dreaming. Her next action was kissing him in the middle of the hallway. Thankfully there was no one there besides them and Tom.
When she broke the kiss he could finally say something.
-"Surprise! Happy Birthday Sweet Baby!" He kissed her again and continued, "I am not complaining, I could stay here all day as long as I am with you, but could we go inside?"
- "Oh," She hadn't realized that they were still outside her apartment. "Yes, of course, came in."
-"Are you insane? This is too dangerous! What if someone sees you?" The rational part of her started to work again.
-"I don't care. I couldn't miss your Birthday Livvie. I missed you." He took one of the colorful paper bags that Tom was holding and said "Here, I got you something, I hope you like it."
She opened it and it was beautiful, one of the best presents she had ever gotten. It was a golden watch, and in the inside you could read a short phrase that meant the world for them "I will love you now and forever." It was a promise that they will have their time. It will come someday. And they would be happy in the light, no longer a secret; he would be able to tell the world what she meant for him, that she was the love of his life.
-"Thank you Fitz, it is beautiful. I am never taking it off. I love you too." She responded with tears in her eyes.
-"You're welcome beautiful. I'm glad you liked it, but I still have something else for you. I'll give it to you after diner." He said going to the kitchen.
After they ate, they went to the couch, they sit there juts hugging each other and dreaming about a life where every night would be like this. After a while he took a light blue box from his pocket and put it in Liv's lap. She looked at him, shocked, suspecting what it was, but not believing it: It couldn't be what she was thinking.
-"Open it." He commanded.
-"Fitz, you can't. We can't. You are married, what is this?" She said looking at him.
-"It is not what you think. I wish I could give you an engagement ring, just not now, yes? Open it." He repeated with a sad smile.
Tears began to form in Olivia's eyes as she opened the small box. It was a golden ring; it matched perfectly with the watch he had given her no longer ago. It also had an inscription that said "Liv & Fitz"
She was talking herself in not crying, 'because Gladiators don't cry, but it was becoming too difficult, and her sods began, followed by uncontrollable tears. It was a perfect, simple and elegant ring, but it was overwhelming. Trough her tears, he could only kiss him. It was a passionate kiss. They both depended on it. They still believed that someday they could be together.
Now.
She was no longer here. Where could she be? Was she Okay? Whose blood was it? Wasn't it enough to run from him, but she needed to get out-of-town too?
What had happened to her? What made her make this decision? He didn't now. But for sore he was going to move heaven and earth to find her and get her back. He was a men in a mission and we would not give up. Not now, not ever.
He took the watch and clock with him and told Tom to start looking for her, with the same urgency as if the First Lady were missing. He had to find her.
Okay, i hope you like it.
I absolutely love your reviews, they make me smile every time i read them!
I'll go back to Liv next one, what do you think?
