A/N: I really love reading the reviews from you guys it makes me smile. I've updated the rating to M for future purposes. ;). I now present you another chapter with our fave couple. Enjoy!

Olivia normally worked Monday through Wednesday and occasionally on the weekends if needed, with Thursdays and Fridays blocked for school all day.

Today was Thursday and another school day, but it brought her 3 weeks closer to graduation and the thought made her happy.

Olivia didn't hate school because she loved the subject, but she was keen to graduate. For one thing, it meant she'd be able to see her mom. The last time they'd seen each other had been for Olivia's 22nd birthday, 3 months ago.

They were planning to meet up in Texas, a halfway point for both between Florida and Seattle. Her mom would be spending a week with her, and Olivia was looking forward to it.

She worried about her mom. Olivia was an only child and Alexis had no one else. She encouraged her mom to date but so far her mother was happy with her career as a private chef, spending her spare time volunteering which had gained her recognition as a valued leader in the community.

Right on cue, thoughts of her mother made Olivia's tummy rumble as she remembered Alexis' delectable cooking. Olivia's mom was of Caribbean descent and she had mastered a lot of traditional cuisine, some of which she had passed on to her daughter.

That thought made Olivia smile as she made her way to the kitchen and began making a simple healthy breakfast.

During her commute to school, her thoughts drifted to the previous night when Fitz had sung one of her favorite songs as a lullaby. In her dreams, she'd heard him call her his one and only. It had been a dream, she was sure, but that memory alone gave her a warm glow of happiness.

Pulling in the parking lot at school, Olivia couldn't help but smile at her life. At 22 years old she had been through a few trials but she was thankful for the person she was today. Still in her car, she decided to send Fitz a quick text.

"Good morning, sleepy head, it's 8:30. Time to wake." She pressed send and proceeded to gather her belongings.

Within 2 minutes, her iPhone dinged notifying her of a text message.

"Good morning, beautiful. I am up but not really. :)"

"How can you be up but not really, Fitz?" she texted back.

Immediately a response came back with a picture attachment.

"Let me show you what I mean, since a picture says a 1000 words."

Olivia heart almost stopped when she clicked on the beautiful face was against the pillow with his curls a gorgeous mess on top of his head. He had his right hand underneath his head, revealing a well-toned bicep. But the cutest thing for Olivia was his pouty smile, a sight that made her knees weak, even as she smiled noticing that he had his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

She let out a deep sigh, feeling warmth spread over her entire body. To regain some composure, she waited until she was in class before replying, "Pictures not only tell a 1000 words, they also makes you feel a 1000 things ;)"

Instantly she got another response. "Tell me 1 thing that you felt, Livia?"

Olivia blushed and started debating whether or not to share her feelings. Stalling, she texted, "Why do you want to know?"

"Because I want to know if you feel the way I do when I see a picture of you." This time his message came attached with the picture Sean had taken of them together at the concert.

Olivia was shocked that he had a picture of them in his phone. She was even more surprised to see how good they looked together, with his slightly tanned vanilla skin complimenting her mocha brown skin and her white dress contrasting nicely with his all black attire. They even had matching smiles.

Only then did she realize that he had his arm low on her waist when they had taken the picture.

After getting over her initial shock she replied to his message. "Wow, I didn't know you had that picture. It's nice."

"As a matter of fact it's a gorgeous picture and that's because of you. BTW U haven't told me 1 thing you felt out of the 1000 emotions. Waiting patiently..."

Olivia chuckled at his persistence and then she gave into his request. "I don't know I felt a 'strong like' and please don't make me explain what that is. Haha."

"Come on, Livvie, you have to help me out here. What if I tell you how I feel when I look at the picture of us? Would you then explain what you mean by 'strong like'? Deal?"

"Deal, Grant!"

Back in LA, Fitz snickered at the use of his last name.. "Ok, Ms Pope. When I see that picture of us, I see a future. A life of love, happiness, arguments, forgiveness and hope. I hope that one day I won't dream it but I would live it with you."

Olivia was rendered speechless again. "WOW I'm speechless Fitz. Ok my turn, when I saw your morning picture, not only did it made me flustered but it made me envisioned waking up next to you for the rest of my life. *nervous chuckle*"

"WOW now I'm speechless. There's something that I really want to ask you but I don't want to do it through text. When can I call you today?"

"You can call me around 1pm. I have a one-hour break between classes."

"Sounds great. Be on the lookout for my call. I won't hold you up any longer as you're probably in class texting LOL. Hope your morning is as beautiful as you are, Livvie. Talk soon!"

She smiled at his compliment and simply replied, "Thanks, Fitz, and have a great morning too. Xo"

Olivia spent the next 3 hours in class making sure that her final assignment was all done before its due date the next day. She was happy to that her major assignment would be over and then all she had left were 2 tests which weren't a problem.

At 1 PM she made her way to the cafeteria to grab a fruit smoothie and a tuna wrap. Normally she would have chosen to sit with Quinn and Abby during their 1 hour break but today both girls were busy. Not that Olivia was concerned, as she kept looking at her phone, willing it to ring.

She had almost finished eating when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and smiled seeing Fitz's name appears.

"Hi."

"Hi beautiful, how's your day so far?"

"Well to be honest, it's so much better now. I've just finished my lunch and I feel energized to go kick some butts," she chuckled, wondering what had got into her to make such a silly joke. The Fitz Effect, she decided, he made her so giddy.

Fitz laughed at her statement, then said solemnly, "Please don't kick them too hard, Livvie, People need their butts to sit on."

That made her laugh. "Okay, I won't. Just for you."

Fitz cut to the chase. "I know we live in separate states but I would like to take you out on a date. LA is a little over 2hrs away from Seattle by plane and I'd be more than happy to come up there this weekend to take you out… What do you say Livvie...Will you let me take you out on our first date?"

Yes! Olivia wanted to scream, before she quickly remembered that she would be in LA that weekend for the magazine shoot, which she hadn't told him about.

"Um, I'm sorry, Fitz, you cannot come to Seattle this weekend."

There was a strained silence, which made her feel bad so she added quickly, "Because I will be in LA on a work trip."

A gusty breath was released at the other end. "For a second, I thought you were going to turn me down, Livvie."

"No, I wasn't going to do that," she said quietly.

His tone became low, more intimate as he drawled, "So since you'll be in LA we can have dinner and then go dancing? Or see a movie? Or…"

"I don't care, as long as I get to spend time with you," Olivia blurted, then smiled when he chuckled in response.

"Yeah, that's the way I feel too, Livvie. Okay then. It's a date."

Hope you guys enjoy this chapter. So our boy Fitz is kinda smooth. Haha! Do you like him so far? I know this Liv is more straightforward and I will try to keep her that way. So next Olivia will be in LA and guess who will be surpised? You are right!
