Olivia took the rectangle shape box with deft fingers while looking at Fitz face, "What's this?" She asked.
"It's your graduation gift, open it" he answered softly.
Olivia gasped as she opened the box to see the beautiful pandora bracelet inside. She placed her hand over her mouth and looked at Fitz, "it's beautiful, thank you."
Fitz smiled, happy that she was pleased with what she saw. He reached over her and took the bracelet out of the box. She instinctively stretched out her left wrist and he placed it around it.
Olivia twirled the expensive bracelet around her hand watching the charms dangle. She loved it so much and to thank Fitz she leaned back onto his body and tilt her head for him to kiss her. His kiss was passion filled and it leave her wanting more. When she pulled away from his kissable mouth she asked, "what's the story behind the charms?"
Fitz pulled her onto his lap as he cradled her and replied, "I thought you'd never asked."
He grabbed her dainty wrist and pointed at the first charm and spoke, "the camera is for your love of photography, the cap and gown is for your degree, then there's this a reminder of how we first met." He paused while allowing Olivia to view the charm with a ladies shoe stepping on a man's foot.
Olivia threw her head back and laughed at the cutesy charm. "You'll never let me live that down?" She asked once her laughter had subsided.
Fitz kissed her forehead, "Never! That was the moment that my life changed for the better" he added convincingly.
Olivia smiled at him, he went over some other charms that were mostly flowered designs. The bracelet was made out of a 24k gold and Olivia knew this was probably very expensive. She listened to him as he explained his reasons behind each charm and she could feel herself falling harder for him. He'd taking his time to put thought into her gift and she love him for that. She watched as he paused over the last charm, it was a musical symbol.
Fitz looked into Olivia eyes and he felt his throat tighten because of the love he felt for her. He rubbed her wrist as he held the charm between his fingers, "this one is to remind you of me and every time you see it you'll know that I will be thinking of you. You're the love of my life Olivia and I want you to remember that always" he choked.
Tears were silently running down Olivia's face at Fitz's confessions to her. She was afraid to speak because she was afraid no words would be able to describe how she felt for him. Instead she showed him, Olivia turned around and grabbed his face kissing him with all the love she felt for him. She closed her eyes allowing the sea of love to wash over her.
They cling onto each other as their bodies spoke the language of love. Emotions were high that only heightened the intimacy of their union. Olivia clung onto Fitz with her all as she felt her orgasm racked through her body, she give herself to him in blind abandon. In that moment she knew that she couldn't live without Fitz, her heart wouldn't be able to beat without him. And she cried feeling all her emotions and fears rise to the surface but she wasn't alone as she felt water from Fitz eyes fell onto her. He's in this with me, she thought. He feels the magnitude of our love too.
They clung to each other, Olivia not caring that his heavier body was on her. She felt safe, protected love. They whispered "I love you's" over and over to each other afraid that the other doesn't understand how much they mean to them.
Fitz eventually rolled off of Olivia and spooned against her back. He pulled the silk sheet over their bodies as they drifted into a peaceful slumber. Tonight their relationship has made a turn for the better, they were embedded onto each others heart. They were in deep and no one wanted to be rescued.

The sun was peaking through the curtains and onto their naked love biting bodies. Olivia was the first one to open her eyes and stretched. She looked on as Fitz rouses from his sleep. She smiled widely at him.
Fitz opened his eyes to the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen in his life. He leaned forward to plant a sound kiss on his ray of sunshine. Pulling back he whispered, "Good morning, sunshine."
Olivia still smiling widely replied, "good morning babe" and leaned into kiss him again.
"So what do you want to do today?"
"Mmm I don't know. We're going to have to go back to my apartment sooner or later because mom is there. She probably thinks that I stayed at Abby's last night."
In alarmed tone Fitz said, "oh boy she'll definitely know you weren't with Abby." He pointed at the dark circle that he'd left on her neck.
Olivia quickly got out the bed to stand in front of the floor length mirror to exam herself. Not only was there a hickey on her neck but also on her inner thighs. "Fitz! Oh my gosh!"
Fitz got up from the bed and put on his discarded boxer briefs, he came up behind Olivia's naked body and wrapped his arms around her waist. He made eye contact with her in the mirror and said, "I'm sorry, Livvie. I got carried away."
Olivia met his eyes in the mirror and shook her head. "She'll definitely know for sure and I think that's ok."
Fitz raised his eyebrows questionably at her and Olivia answered his unasked question. "It's not like she doesn't know we're having sex. She saw my birth control pills in my bag."
His eyes looked like it was about to pop out his head. "What! Your mom knows that I've been having sexual relations with her daughter? She isn't plotting to kill me is she?"
Olivia laughed at his outburst. She unhook his arms from around her waist to go grab a robe all the while laughing.
"Liv, I'm serious. I don't think I could show my face again. Did you go into any details?" Fitz asked still looking like a wet cat.
She laughed at his second question while clutching her stomach. Fitz looked so cute being afraid of her mother. When she'd stopped laughing she answered, "1. I didn't tell her any details. That's just not OK to share and 2. She's not plotting to kill you." She watched him visibly relaxed and then added, "unless you break my heart of course and only then you should be worried."
Fitz smiled and approached her, "well then I have no need to be worried" he placed his hand over heart and added "because I'm not going to break this."
Olivia tipped toe and placed a soft kiss on his mouth. "Good, let's go shower now."

When the two had finish their rendezvous activities in the shower, they'd made their way out and gotten dressed. After ordering room service they were sitting in the dinning area having breakfast. Olivia asked him about his family and they made plans for their trip. They talked about Olivia coming down to LA to spend some time with him when she's not working. She'd agreed to fly down the following Wednesday after work to spend 4 days with him. Being in a long distance relationship is tough but they're more than willing to make it work.
Once they were finished eating Fitz pulled out his phone and asked, "so how do you want us to break our relationship to the world?"
Olivia's heart started pacing a little bit and she forced herself to stay calm. "We can do it over twitter" she answered, remembering her mother's suggestion.
"I like that because I want it to be personal and well twitter is the only social media form I use."
"What? You don't have Instagram, Tumblr or Facebook?" she asked.
Fitz shook his head, "Instagram is for people like you who can actually take pictures and I have no idea what's Tumblr"
Olivia clutched her chest playfully, "what? We have to break up I can't believe you do not know what's Tumblr" she spoke with exaggeration.
Fitz simply shrugged." Well you can either show me or break up with me. Your choice sweet baby"
Olivia got up her seat and went over to his to sit on his lap and kissed him. "I guess I can show you."
"Good" he replied victoriously.
She grabbed his hand, "now let's do this. First we have to find a picture of the two of us. Do you still have the one with us on the yacht?" she asked.
Fitz nodded yes and brought up his pictures. "Hey!" Olivia screeched while playfully hitting him. "You have like a 100 pictures of me in there." Fitz had pictures of Olivia sleeping, with her on the yacht, hiking and pictures of her lounging around. "You're such a sneak" she accused.
"I wouldn't say all that, it's just that when I see something beautiful I have to take a picture of it. And it doesn't hurt that it keeps me company when you're not around" he replied.
"You're too sweet you know that, sometimes it just isn't fair to others" she said while rubbing his chest.
"Livvie, if you want us to leave this room anytime soon I suggest you do not do that" he spoke in a strained voice.
She retrieve her hand from his chest, "ok I'll behave.. For now" with a wink.
The two went over pictures and all of them seemed too intimate as Fitz didn't want to share his private moments with the world. Olivia had retrieved her phone and luckily she had transferred the pictures from her camera to her computer from their hike at Grand Lake park a few weeks back. It was a cute picture with them hugging each other at the waist with big smiles plastered on their face. They both looked at the picture and then at each other. In unison they both said, "this one."
They'd selected the picture and it was captioned "Yes the rumors are true. Olivia Pope is my girlfriend. #InLOVE" the post immediately created a buzz with his fans and also with the gossip sites. Everyone was eating up this piece of information.

They'd checked out the hotel at noon and were now heading to the local flower shop that they'd found on their way back to her apartment. Fitz had decided to buy some flowers for her mom as a good will gesture. She loved Japanese peonies and they'd settle on that. They both decided to not look at their twitter page for the time being. Fitz had called his manager to let him know what's happening in case anyone called him to make a comment. They didn't care what the media had to say because that wasn't what that matters.
Once they'd made their way to the apartment Alexis greeted them at the door. Fitz handed her the flowers which she graciously accepted.
Alexis smelled the flower "oh thank you!" She give him an affectionate hug.
"You're welcome, Mrs. Alexis"
"From Mrs. Pope to Mrs. Alexis! Were you're raised in the army?" She teased.
Fitz laughed, "no ma'am" which garnered more laughs from her and Olivia.
She'd made chocolate chip cookies and invited them to sit on the small patio with her. They made small talks about the weather, Florida and food. Now Olivia could feel her mother's eyes boring into the side of her head as they were all eating. She turned to her and gave her a quizzical look.
Alexis smirked, "why are you still wearing that scarf Livvie?" She asked even though she already knew the answer.
Fitz could feel himself become flushed and he didn't know what to do or say to deter this conversation from happening. "Uhh, I'm going to the uhh bathroom. Yes, I'll be right back" and with that he made his exit.
Alexis laughed at his quick departure and Olivia playfully rolled her eyes at her. "He thinks you're plotting to kill him" she said.
"Why would I do that? He's too cute getting all flustered. I told him I'm not afraid to harm him if he hurts you thou" she added once her laughters had stopped.
"That's what I told him."
The two continued to make small talks when Fitz returned. He made his way to sit next to Olivia and she stretched out her hand for him to hold. Alexis smiled at the affection they'd displayed to each other.
"You guys looks so happy and in love" Alexis said after watching them.
Fitz and Olivia turned to look at each other and smiled, "we are" they spoke in unison for the 2nd time that day. They both laughed and Fitz said, "jinx you owe me a soda."
"What are you? 5 Fitzgerald?" Olivia teased. Fitz simply nudged her with his shoulders, all the while Alexis looked on.
"Just promise me one thing" she said grabbing their attentions. "Promise me that you'll never give up on each other."
With their fingers intertwined they looked at Alexis and nodded their heads signaling that they've heard her loud and clear. They'd already decided to give each other their all and it was no turning back from this point.
AN: Awww sorry to disappoint some of you it wasn't a ring. But how cute and thoughtful was the gift thou? Isn't Fitz the cutest, afraid of Alexis knowing him and Livvie have sex. Lol. Alexis is still the bomb! Please leave a review. Thank you for reading! Until next time, xo.
