Chapter 15: Just Hold On We're Going Home
I got my eyes on you,
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly
I can't get over you,
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly
— Hold On We're Going Home by Drake
At last freedom, was all Olivia could think as she walked out of school that late morning with her friends after their last final of the year. All she had to do now was graduate the next day and then she would be truly free. She, Quinn, Huck, and Kenny were on their way to IHOP and she planned to hang out with them until she had to go to work later in the afternoon and after that go to Fitz's house to cook in the evening. Even though she and Abby were still ignoring each other, she and Kenny had managed reconcile and now he was back to being the silly guy she befriended on her first day of school. If only relationships with girlfriends were as easy to resolve as they were with guys, but she was partly to blame for not swallowing her pride and going to talk to her.
Besides relations with Abby, Olivia was excited to begin her summer but what she was looking forward to the most was the week she and Fitz would spend in New York. In just two days, they would be on a plane to the Empire State and it would be for the most part be just them. She hadn't been this eager for anything in a long time.
Fitz walks into Barnes & Noble around 5pm which is when Olivia started her shift in hopes to surprise her and sure enough she was already behind the counter tending to a few customers. As he stands by a row of books, he spends a long moment just taking her in as she smiles and hands a little boy his book. She seemed to grow more and more beautiful everyday and he couldn't wait for this summer to kick off so that she could finally be his and he could proudly show her around to everyone. He knew anyone from school that found out about them would have questions and that they could face criticism, especially from those closest to them, but he would be completely fine with proving to anyone who asked that their relationship in no way interfered with Olivia's progress in school. He knew that they'd have to figure out the right way to approach their families about them, especially Bob and her father, but he wouldn't let anyone or anything break them apart when they had come this far and he had waited so long to be with the girl of his dreams.
He waits until all the customers are gone before he gets an idea of how to greet her and grabs a random book of a shelf. He walks up to the counter as she's writing something down on a piece of paper and says, "Hello, gorgeous. I was wondering if you could tell me if this book is any good or not."
She looks up and he winks at her as a wide smile spreads across her face at the sight of him. She looks down at the book and raises her eyebrows and responds, "Well, I'm not sure if it's any good, but I must say that I had no idea you were with child."
He gives her a confused look but only when he looks at the book and sees the title which reads "How To Properly Breastfeed Your Newborn" does he understand why she's laughing at him.
He smirks. "Neither did I. That did not go as smoothly as I planned."
She smiles. "What are you really doing here? I thought we were meeting up at your house," she says, taking the book behind the counter.
"I wanted to see you and I didn't want to wait, especially if I was just going to be sitting at home doing nothing."
As she's about to say something, he hears a voice from behind him say, "Socializing while working again, Liv? You young kids have no respect for the job"
He turns around to see a short, middle-aged, balding man approaching them. He takes a good look at Fitz before exclaiming, "Oh, hey, it's the boy toy."
Fitz inwardly laughs at the label as he looks back to Olivia and gives her a questioning glance. "Boy toy?"
"I never called you that," she rushes to say, glaring at the man. "Fitz, this is Cyrus, my manager. Cyrus, this is Fitz, and he's not my boy toy."
"Well, hello, Fitz. Not to be rude but are you going to buy something or are you going to continue to distract my employee and let her make googly eyes at you?" Cyrus asks, rolling his eyes. Olivia blushes and looks away from Fitz.
"Uh, yeah…I will buy something, as soon as I find what that something is," he says, backing away from the counter.
"I'm going to hold you to that. And it better be something more than ten dollars or else your girlfriend is getting fired for wasting my time!" Cyrus hollers as he grabs something from behind the counter and starts to leave.
Fitz is filled with panic at thinking that he may have cost Olivia her job but when he looks at her, she seems calm as ever as she says, "He's joking."
"Oh, Liv, I was wondering if you could work from 2 to 5pm tomorrow. Becky can't make it," Cyrus says turning back.
"Sorry, Cy, neither can I. I'm graduating from high school tomorrow."
He cocks his head. "Really? Hmm…well, I guess I'll just see you when you get back from New York. And congrats."
She smiles. "Thank you!" She turns back to Fitz and asks, "If you don't want to hang out here for the next three hours, I'll just see you at your house when I'm done here."
"I'm staying, Liv. There are a million books in here, I'll find something to keep me occupied," he assures her.
She nods okay and he walks off as a customer goes over to her. Like Fitz said, he's able to find a fairly interesting book and by time it's time to go, he's already half way through. Fitz purchases the book, which is indeed over ten dollars, just to be safe in case Cyrus wasn't playing and he and Olivia take off together.
"So, what are we making tonight?" Fitz asks as they stand in his kitchen.
"Mmm…let's try mac'n'cheese. I saw a box of Kraft's in your pantry last time," she says, heading to the pantry to fetch it.
"Alright, just tell me what to do," he says, loving the determined look she got on her face when she ordered him around. She had him get a pot, fill it with water, and let it boil over the stove. She guides him step-by-step to make the dish, even though he already had a pretty good idea of what he was supposed to do he prefers to listen to her, mostly so that he doesn't screw up the meal, but also because he loved hearing her lovely voice.
After it's cooked and done, they serve themselves and sit on the couch to eat, turning on the TV more as background noise since they're not really watching.
"I can't believe I made this," Fitz says as he swallows the surprisingly good-tasting macaroni and cheese.
"I know," she says, winking at him. "This is pretty good. I guess I have taught you well."
He smiles. "So, are you ready for New York?"
"I've been ready since you asked me to go with you. I can't wait to take a break from this place and go somewhere different."
"Me, too. I'm glad you agreed to come."
She grins at him and says, "So, tell me about your friends. When'd you meet them?"
"Back when I went to school with them at NYU when I was an undergrad. We met when I joined one of the school's drama clubs."
"That must've been a lot of fun."
"Yeah…well, I didn't actually do any acting in any of the plays. My only job was to be in charge of backstage stuff, like lights and curtains. It was kind of boring but it was great to see all of the magic happen as the actors rehearsed so that was the main reason I stuck around and I made some friends along the way. Eventually, we all got together and wrote are own play and we ran it for about a week at this small theater."
"That's really impressive," she says looking genuinely amazed.
He smiles. "It wasn't the greatest, but they've been at it a while now without me and I think they're finishing one up now, so when we get there, maybe we can see it if you like."
"That would be great," she says, putting down her bowl. He notices her starting to shiver and also senses that it's a little colder inside than usual.
"Here, let me get a blanket," he says, getting up but as he goes over to the hallway closet, he looks out the window and sees that it's raining.
"Liv, it's raining outside. We're in June and it was 70 degrees earlier but it's raining outside," he says, going back to the living room and placing the blanket over her.
"Thanks." She looks out the window, shaking her head. "That's California weather for you. It's so unpredictable."
He sits back down next to her and she snuggles up to him, laying her head on his shoulder and spreads the blanket over the two of them. He smiles, inhaling the lavender scent of her hair as he positions them so that she's almost on his lap. He turns up the volume of the TV but he's not paying attention as he feels her soft hands, which were at first settled on his thigh, glide up under his shirt to his lower stomach right above his crotch. "You're so warm," she says breathily, curling into him even more.
He struggles to control his member and he lets out a low growl, wondering if she knows what she's doing to him but when he looks down at her and sees her already looking up at him with desire in her eyes, he can see that she does. Before he knows it, their lips are crashing together in slow but hungry kiss. Her tongue asks for access into his mouth and he lets her in, sucking on her bottom lip and wrestling with her tongue. She readjusts herself so that both knees are on the outside of his legs as she kneels above him, putting a hand on the back of his neck and raking her fingers through his hair with the other. He positions his hands on the backs of her thighs, steadying her towards him and pressing them closer together as she begins to leave wet kisses along his jawline, making her way to the behind his ear where his sweet spot is.
"Oh, Livvie…" he groans out as his hands creep up towards her bottom. He hears her moan as he slowly squeezes her ass. She reconnects their lips for a long, hard kiss before pulling back and looking at him with so much intensity in her eyes that he almost guesses what she's about to say next and he wants it more than anything too.
"Make love to me, Fitz," she whispers.
"Are you sure?" He asks, wanting to take her right then and there but he wanted her to be sure that she was ready to take this step with him right now.
"I'm more than sure. I want you," she says with the most earnest look in her eyes that he's ever seen.
"I want you, too." Without further thought or deliberation he picks her up, holding her by the back of her knees and her mid back as she keeps her arms slung around his neck and he takes them to her bedroom.
Olivia didn't know what had come over her but she had never wanted him more now than before. Maybe it had to do with the feeling of freedom and rootlessness she had now that she was done with school and she could basically do whatever she wanted but all she knew was that she was tired of waiting and she was ready to claim what was hers now. She smiles at him and he returns his own as he puts his lips to hers and passionately kisses her. He gently deposits her on his bed as she brings him down with her. She relishes in the feeling of running her fingers through his soft chocolate-y curls as their tongues vigorously dance together. She reaches down to his waist, fingering the hem of his shirt and raising it up, running her fingers over his warm skin.
He sits up, pulling the sweater off and letting her gawk at the definition on his abdomen. He pants out of breath from their kiss as he asks, "Are you on the pill?"
She had forgotten about that. "No."
"It's okay. I'll be right back," he tells her, pecking her lips and climbing off the bed then he heads to the bathroom and comes back with what looks like a condom in hand.
He climbs back onto the bed and kneels in front of her so that she's in between his legs. Her dainty fingers start to work at his belt and he keeps his eyes entirely on her as she does so. He kicks off his jeans, allowing her to see his even more pronounced bulge. He positions his hands on either side of her and lowers himself so that he's hovering above her. He lays a soft, wet kiss on her neck and continues to do so as he caresses and gently nibbles his way down. She feels him slide his large hands under her shirt and the sensation feels so good that a long moan escapes her lips. He helps her take off her sweater and watches her intently as she unclips her bra. His hands immediately go for her breasts, massaging them intensely before attaching his mouth to one of her nipples. She whimpers out and arches her back as his lips travel from her breasts and down her stomach, gliding his tongue across her skin. He peppers every inch of her skin before it becomes too much for her.
"Ah, Fitz…I need you inside now." She moans out.
"I'm coming, Livvie," he growls, quickly sliding off his boxers. She gawks at his size as he slips the condom on. He keeps eye contact with her as he slowly inserts himself into her. She whimpers out, feeling a little discomfort as her walls expand to accommodate him but it soon subsides.
"Are you okay?" He asks softly.
She nods. "I'm great…mmm you're so huge."
He smiles as he says, "I'm going to start." She nods and he grips her hips and thrusts into her at a comfortable pace. She feels him still growing in her as he starts to speed up his pace a little.
"Go deeper," she pants out.
He does so, increasing his speed and the intensity of his thrusts as he grunts, "You feel so good, baby."
Her walls close around as she starts to moan out his name. Her toes curl as her eyes roll back in her head, feeling so electrified and on fire in this moment. Minutes later, he gives her one final thrust before he pulls out and collapses next to her. After a few minutes of rest, he takes off the condom and discards it in the waste basket by the bed. She snuggles into him as soon as he lays back down, resting her cheek against his chest as he kisses her temple and nuzzles his face into her hair. He pulls the covers over them and puts his arms around her. They continue to sit in a comfortable silence, glad to have all each other in this moment, and slowly drift off to the sound of the raindrops outside.
So, Olitz finally went all the way and they're moving on with their relationship. Next up we have graduation and then the trip to New York. Give me your thoughts on this chapter and predictions. I may not be back for a while because I have to start focusing on school again now that winter break is coming to an end but I'll try to update as soon as possible. Anyway, thanks for reading!
