AN: here's another chapter guys! Please leave reviews. I'm glad that you're enjoying it :)

It was 8:45 pm when Fitz finally made it home from the studio. It had been a good day. Made even better by the conversation he'd had that afternoon and the thoughts of Olivia that had stayed with him ever since.

He looked at the clock impatiently, then decided to go shower as he'd stopped at the gym on his way home.

After a quick shower, he decided on making himself a light dinner which he ate at the kitchen counter, staring into space, thinking of Olivia again. When he snapped out of his trance, he realized that it was 9:10 pm and he grabbed the phone, hoping she hadn't gone to bed.

It rang a long time and he was about to hang up when he heard a breathless, "Hi!"

He smiled in relief. "Hi. Am I catching you at a bad time?"

"No, I forgot my phone in the living room." He heard her take a breath, then say, "I was waiting for you to call. You promised to sing me a lullaby and I wasn't going to pass on the once in a lifetime chance of having III Legend sing to me!"

They both laughed at that.

"I'm flattered but I'm the one with the lifetime opportunity here. I get to talk to you."

He heard the smile in her voice. "This afternoon, we didn't talk that much about you. I think it's your turn to share. Tell me something about you."

"What do you want to know?"

"Anything. Everything."

He smiled as that was what he felt about her. "Well, for starters I'm the eldest of two children. I have a sister who is 4 years younger, her name is Raye. She lives in New York with my parents, who are retired. My father was a lawyer and my mother a pediatric nurse. They've been together forever."

He paused, before adding, "I want their kind of love, Livvie. It's my hope that one day I'll find it."

Olivia stayed silent, moved by his love for his family and the desire to find the kind of love that his parents had.

Fitz continued to talk about his family, how he grew up as a grandmother's boy. Grandma Pearl had been his maternal grandmother and she had taught him to play the piano.

He said he'd adored her his whole life. Adding that her passing 8 years ago, had made him turn his back on a legal career and pursue his dream of becoming a musician. He'd dedicated his first single to Grandma Pearl and that song had launched his career as a musician.

Listening to him, Olivia gathered that he'd grown up in a loving family. She was happy to know that some fathers still insisted on passing good qualities to their sons; and that Fitz adored his father or Big Jerry as he was known to friends and family. Fitz said Big Jerry had always been there for him and his sister, even when his schedule got crazy with cases.

Olivia felt a tad jealous as she'd grown up without a dad. Her father had died when she was 5 years old, and she barely remembered him, except for the things her mother told her about him.

Yet even though she'd lost a father, she had never felt a lack of love. Her mother, Alexis, had been father, mother and best friend to her only child. Olivia was more than happy that God allowed her to be her child.

"You have an amazing family, Fitz," she said softly. "How do you stay out there in LA all the time without missing them? I miss my mom like crazy, but we make sure to talk every other day."

"Just like you, Livvie, we talk on the phone. In fact, I just taught my mom how to skype so now I get the occasional skype calls from her." He chuckled at his mother's tech-savvy nature. Janet refused to be left behind. Being in her late sixties she kept up with technology and most importantly fashion.

Olivia teased, "Awwww, look at you being Son of the Year."

This prompted more laughter.

Conversation between them flowed smoothly as if they'd been friends forever. They talked about where they'd gone to school and the sports they played. Olivia had been the captain of her high school swim team, while Fitz had played forward position on both his high school and college basketball teams.

"So do you still play basketball? Or isn't that allowed in Hollywood?" She teased.

He laughed. "I do play bball from time to time. Not as much as I'd like but that's fine."

"Ok, ok. Since you played college basketball were any of the NBA teams looking to draft you?"

Fitz snorted. "I wished but no, Livvie. I was a starter in high school and I thought I was unstoppable until I came to Columbia and met all these amazing players. Put it this way... I never left the bench once for a college game."

Olivia burst out laughing. Fitz swore he'd never heard anything lovelier, even if it was directed at his expense. He couldn't help but join in, seduced by the sheer infectious joy of the sound.

"Fitz I'm so sorry I didn't mean to laugh," she giggled, continuing anyway. After the laughter had subsided she asked, "Have I hurt your feelings? Is your ego intact?"

Fitz smirked. "It'll take more than you laughing at me to dent my ego, m'lady. It was a funny time in my life and I'm glad I got to share it with you."

"Thank you for sharing, Fitz."

There was a pause, and he listened to her breathe, feeling a strong connection in the silence that stretched across the distance between them.

"Oh, my goodness! Fitz, it's 11," Olivia's startled voice broke into his thoughts. "It's getting late and I need to be at school early tomorrow but before you go, I need to remind you that you still owe me a lullaby."

Fitz smiled. "Are you already in bed?"

"Yes, I am. The lights are off too."

Fitz paused a moment, picturing the scene in his mind, then he said softly, "Close your eyes and take a deep cleansing breathe." He heard her breathing in and out, a sound that gave him a deep sense of tranquility.

Then he began to sing 'One and Only' by Adele.

In the dark quiet of the room, Olivia listened to his deep husky voice as she lay wrapped in her white duvet. She'd never felt such peace as she did in that moment and she knew she would do anything to have that peace remain in her life. For now though, she would not think about tomorrow, she would just live in this moment, allowing his voice to fill her mind, body and soul.

It took a few minutes for Fitz to realize from her breathing that she had fallen asleep. He stayed on the line listening to her. This moment felt intimate, and somehow fated.

He was falling in love with Olivia, this woman he'd just met who made him feel as if he'd known her forever. He promised himself that he would do everything in his power to keep her in his life. Fitz had been in a few relationships with women that he cared for, but none had ever made him feel the way she did.

As he listened to her breathe, his eyes grew heavy, so he whispered, "Goodnight, Livvie… my One and Only." Then he disconnected the call and went to sleep.

So they're both falling. Stay tune for more!
