AN: Hello lovely leaders I have one request for you today. Before you read this chapter or while you're reading it please listen to John Legend "You & I Nobody In The World" Here's the link directly to it. watch?v=MaHnGs_9Tp8 Please enjoy!
"Fitzzzz!" Olivia screamed as her orgasm wash over her. She clawed at his shoulders digging into skin as she felt his hot seed coat her walls. Olivia slowly climbed off of him and lay on her back in a heap of sweat and heavy breathing. She turned her head watching at the bedside clock and saw the time as 8 am. "Shit! Fitz you're going to make me late for my first day of work" she yelled while jumping out of the bed only wearing her tank top from which she went to sleep in. Her underwear was somewhere on the floor in a heap of shreds from Fitz rough ministrations. Her underwear isn't safe around him.
Fitz grinned watching her run to the bathroom to wash up. To say that he was a happy man was an understatement. The past few days he's been living on cloud 9. It took three months of strategizing, storing, selling, moving and yelling to bring them together under the same roof. They'd had several bumps in the road between her mother and her and his parents and him but they made it. Everyone was wondering if it wasn't too soon for them to make such a big move. Fitz even got mad at Olivia when she was second guessing them and they'd went a day without talking to each other. It was the longest 24 hours of his life not hearing her voice and he does not think that he could go that long without hearing it again. He was extremely blissful that she was finally here in LA making his house a home. She'd even put some personal touches to his home to accompany her taste; he was more than willing to compromise with the few changes. For one he was happy with the portrait of the two of them hanging on the living room wall. He'd already told her what's his is hers. He'd even go so far to surprise her with a new Mercedes car since she'd sold her Ford Fiesta in Seattle. At first she was hesitant in receiving his gift but he quickly reassured her that it's his way of welcoming her home. Fitz loved going to bed and waking up with her every morning and night. He loved the shared bathroom spaces and closet space. Well to be exact he had one of the rooms converted into a walk in closet for her. It has been a week of pure magic as the two enjoyed cohabiting with each other. He stretched his naked body out and climbed out of bed to go make his beautiful girlfriend breakfast.
Olivia climbed out of the hot shower and quickly toweled dried her skin. Memories of the past three months floated in her mind. When she broke the news to her mom that she's planning on moving in with Fitz, Alex almost had a heart attack. Of course her mother's first comment was "and he didn't ask you to marry him?" Olivia knew that was coming as her mother was still very traditional. She believed that people should marry before living together. Olivia explained to her that she and Fitz had spoken about marriage but now wasn't the time for it and of course Alexis said, "But it's time for y'all to move in with each other thou. Why not marry now?" Olivia agreed that she had a point but still stuck to her guns that they weren't ready for marriage. She'd never seen her mother so upset at a decision of hers and that caused her to second guess her move which cause her and Fitz to fall out. He'd refuse to speak to her after when she called him up and blankly said to him, "We shouldn't live together". They'd argued because everything was going fine until then. She was frustrated by the distance and so was he and that didn't help with the argument. A full day went without contacting each other and she was on the verge of losing her mind but she kept it together. In the end everything worked out and her mother may not be comfortable with her decision but she respected it.
Olivia was dressing in her grey pencil skirt and blush pink silk shirt when she heard the blender going and smiled knowing that's Fitz morning tradition of making power smoothies for them. So far living together had so much perks and Olivia loved reaping the benefits. Lovemaking at night, in the morning and during the day was oh so good. Since last week was her first week living in LA Fitz had taking a week off from everything to spend uninterrupted time with her. They'd had so much fun playing tourist to the great city of LA. Her skin was already glowing from the sun kissed tan the sun had caused from several hours of lying on the beach. She quickly slipped on a pair of black Louboutins that she'd got from her 'work clothes shopping spree' Fitz had insisted that she made when she came down to LA. Abby had accompanied her down to LA and she was none the wiser to encourage Fitz's expenditure. As much as she didn't like him spending money on her she's slowly learning to accept his gifts as it makes him happy to please her and as long as he's happy she is. The shopping spree along with the black Mercedes car she found in the garage one morning with a bow had transferred Olivia into LA elite. She was grateful for his thoughtfulness in his gift towards her. The car he'd purchased was what she'd shared with him that would be her dream car one day. She remembered watching him laughing with pure joy on his face as she behaved like one of the contestants in the Prices Right that'd won a car after her initial shock. Olivia chuckled at the memory as she grabbed her black Prada bag to head down the stairs.
Olivia was so happy that her ex-boss Jean provided her with an excellent recommendation letter along with her experience and schooling that landed her a job at O Magazine. She will be working in their media department, taking the catalog pictures for clothing, food, etc. and will also be working alongside the main photographer on photo shoots. She will be working five days now and she looked forward to it but mostly looking forward to coming home every day to her boo.

Fitz was adding the finishing touches to their plates when he heard her make her way down the stairs. With each step he imagines the sway of her hips and he could feel the stirring in his boxers. He looked down and chastised himself, "down boy."
Olivia laughed at the sight of Fitz clad in black boxer briefs with plates held in both hands mumbling at his penis. "What in the world are you doing babe?" She asked while making her way to him.
Fitz groaned at the sight of her, "Damn Livvie, what are you doing to me? I heard you coming and it did this to me now you're standing in front of me looking like a sexy librarian and smelling like a goddess" he shook his head while describing how she's making his body react.
Once she made her way in front of him she placed a kiss on his lips and took one of the plates from his hands. "Well I don't know whether to say sorry or thank you" she said taking a seat at the kitchen island.
Fitz grabbed a seat next to her and replied, "Both are good."
Olivia shook her head, "you're talking about me when you're the one cooking in your underwear showing out that cute butt of yours, you know how much that butt turns me on."
"Yea?" Fitz asked his voice dropping a few octaves.
Olivia knew the road they're on could only end with either both of them on the floor or her hiked up on the kitchen island. She shook her head trying to clear it and cleared her throat. She closed her legs tightly trying to quell the ache between them. She lifted her fork towards him before speaking, "we need to stop babe."
Fitz took a large bite out of his bagel and mumbled at her, "mmmmm."
Olivia laughed at his response. She'd quickly learned that when it came to food Fitz hardly spoke when eating it. You may get a few "mmmm and ahh ha" from him but nothing more. They ate breakfast in comfortable silence enjoying each other's presence.
"What time are you going to the studio babe?" Olivia asked clearing her plate.
"I'll probably leave in the next hour" he answered while joining her at the sink. "You should probably go, I'll take care of this" he said turning off the water.
"Ok" Olivia said while rushing to the bathroom to check that her teeth had nothing in it - hair and makeup was perfect. After making her way out from the guest bathroom she saw Fitz dressed in sweats and tee. She loved him in and out of clothes, mostly out but she'll take his bicep straining tees any day too. She chuckled at the sight and he gives her a quizzical look.
"What's so funny?"
She laughed more, "nothing" and she laughed again before she could've given him more of an answer.
"Livvie don't make me tickle it out of you. Now tell me what's so funny!" He demanded finding himself laughing with her as her laughter was infectious.
She tried to compose herself as much as possible before making her way to show him what she was laughing at. "I'm going to need to start a campaign called 'Save the Shirts' since your guns have no mercy on them" she said while holding her tummy from laughing so hard.
Fitz loved the many facets of Olivia but her silliness was one of his faves as it also brought out his and he could honestly say that she's not only the love of his life but his best friend. He laughed with her because he has no other choice but to join in, "for that I'm going to get you" he warned pulling out his hands in front of him wiggling his fingers at her.
Olivia backed away from him still laughing, "Fitz no, no don't you dare tickle me" she said between laughs. She eventually took off to the living room and collapsed on the couch from laughing so hard and running that she felt her sides would burst. Fitz always could bring out her carefree side and she loved that he allowed her to be herself with him. She watched as Fitz came in the room still wiggling his fingers.
"Tickle tickle!" He yelled stopping right at the chair where she was laying. "Babe it's time for you to go. You have 20 minutes to get there. "
She nodded and got up straightening her skirt, "you know you can't be making me late every day?"
Fitz touched his chest in faux surprise, "me? You're the one talking about guns and campaign" he retorted.
She smiled and grabbed her bag, "well it's a good thing the office is only 10 minutes away."
"That's true. Now come here let me escort my beautiful girlfriend to her car" he added holding onto one of her hands.
They walked to the garage and Fitz opened her door to let her inside. As she stretched to rest her bag she saw a single rose with a note on the passenger seat beside a lunch bag. She turned towards him and saw him grinning at her.
"Lunch and something to wish you well on your first day" he said answering her unasked questions.
She smiled and grabbed the note, "To my beautiful Livvie, I love you today and always. Now go kick butts!" She felt herself tear up as she placed the handwritten note in the outside pocket of her handbag for safekeeping. She beckoned for him to lean down and she planted a sweet kiss on his lips. Pulling away a few inches she spoke softly, "thank you baby and I love you very much."
Fitz smiled against her lips, "I love you too very very much. Now go kick butts. I'll be here when you get home. Call me during the day if you need me."
"Thank you and I will. Have a great day babe" she said while turning on her keyless car.
"You too, Livvie."
He gives her one more peck on the lips before closing her door. He watched as she buckled up her seat belt and started backing out the garage. He stood waving like a proud parent sending their kids off to school while feeling sad at the loss of their presence. He stood there until her car was no longer insight. He then made his way inside to get ready for his day.

Olivia arrived at her job with five minutes to spare. She was happy that they were able to allow her to come in last Friday to have her set up her work space. She grabbed the single rose Fitz had given to her and placed it into a slim vase she'd found. She smiled at the picture on her desk; there was one with her and her mom and another with her and Fitz on the beach. She'd had on her beach cover up with shorts while Fitz had on his swim trunks and a white tee. They both looked so carefree and happy with big goofy smiles on their faces, he was carrying her piggyback style when he almost tripped when the passerby who they'd asked to take their picture had snapped it. Olivia felt so happy with the way her life was going. She took a moment to be thankful to God for it before she saw Lauren making her way towards her.
"Good morning Olivia" Lauren smiled greeting her.
"Good morning Lauren" Olivia replied with a smile on her face as well.
"Are you ready for your first day?"
Olivia nodded, "yes I am."
"Great, I know you had sort of a tour last Friday but let's take an official one today. Ok?"
Olivia got up from her desk and made her way around it, "let's do this" she smiled as Lauren led the way. She can already tell she and Lauren would be good coworkers and even friends, there was something sweet and innocent about the other young woman. She was already introduced to the other photographer, Ethan. He was only a few years older than Olivia herself and he'd already made a name for himself in the photography business. She'd heard of his work and was honored to be working so closely with him. Then there was Ella who coordinated the things that they would need for shooting. And lastly there was Daniel he was the tech guy, he handles most of the edits. This part of the company was small but it was a vital part of it. Lauren took her around introducing her to everyone as well as the floor supervisor that she can visit should there be an issue. Once they made their way back to her office Olivia joked, "So when am I going to see Oprah?"
Lauren laughed because everyone asked that question, "if you're lucky she may come in one day but for guarantees you'll probably see her at the annual staff Christmas party."
Olivia smiled and the thought of meeting Oprah, "sounds good. Thanks for the tour Lauren."
"No problem Olivia. If you need anything please don't hesitate to come to me. Again I just want to welcome you to O Magazine and I hope that your stay here will be both productive and enjoyable. Now I hope that you have a great day" she replied before leaving her.
"You too" Olivia called as she watched the young woman retreat out the door. Olivia got up out of her seat again and made her way to Ethan for her first assignment.

The day was going productive and by noon she was hungry. She retrieved to the break room taking her well pack lunch bag with her. As she sat eating she called the number to the only person she'd never get tire of listening to.
"Hi"
"Hi, baby" she replied when she heard his deep baritone voice answer the phone.
"How's your first day going?" He asked with a smile on his face remembering how happy she was when she received the call for the interview a month after she applied for the job.
"It's going really good, Ethan knows what he's doing and I know I'm going to be learning a lot."
Fitz stopped listening at the mention of an 'Ethan'. "Who's Ethan?"
Olivia chuckled knowing that his jealous head is beginning to peak out, in a hush tone she replied "no need to worry Fitz. Because 1. I only have eyes for you and 2. Ethan is gay."
He knows that she's faithful to him but he can't help his jealous side from showing time to time. He's a man that doesn't like to share especially when it comes to his Livvie. "Oh. That sounds good. So is he the other photographer?"
"Uh huh" Olivia answered while eating the sandwich he'd prepared for her. "What are you doing?"
"Taking a break from writing" I wrote a song today and the lyrics are sorta motivated by thoughts of you."
Olivia arched her brows, "is that so? When can I listen to it?" She asked genuinely interested.
"Mmmmm. Maybe later tonight. How that sounds?"
Olivia smiled, "it sounds like tonight needs to come faster" she chuckled softly.
Fitz let out a contended sigh, "I just love you and I love that you're here in LA. I have to keep pinching myself so I will know that I'm not dreaming. "
Olivia blushed always appreciating his honesty. She loved that from since the beginning of their relationship they were nerve about playing games with each other feelings. "Well believe it or not Grant I'm here and you'll just have to live with it. "
"I can guarantee you that living with you is the most joyous experience ever. So living with it - isn't a problem" he added smiling.
They made other small talks with each other before she went back to work from her lunch break.

Fitz spent the remaining of the day fine tuning his sounds before leaving the studio. By 6 he was pulling into the garage to see that Liv was already there. As he made his way into the house he can smell something familiar cooking. He sniffed his nose when the waft of something spicy hit him. He made his way to the kitchen to see his woman in very short boy shorts a tank top and flip flops on her feet stirring something in a pot. He came behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist; at first she was startled but quickly relaxed into his hold. He watched as she kept stirring the pot then it dawned on him what it was.
"Livvie, is that what I think it is?" He asked feeling the excitement of the prospect of the delectable food on his tongue.
"Yup and I made it twice as hot. Don't forget our deal we had" she answered swatting his hand when he was trying to collect the spoon from her.
After being chastised he kissed her cheeks, "you're the best girlfriend ever. Curry for dinner, man am I in heaven?" he said feeling like the luckiest man in the world.
Olivia laughed at his appreciation for the food he hadn't even tasted as yet. "You may feel lucky now but when the heat gets to you I don't know if you'll feel that way."
Fitz huffed at her and in a serious tone replied, "I ain't never scared what!"
Olivia laughed louder this time at him imitating Bone Crusher, when she'd ceased laughing she finally said, "ok gangsta Legend go wash up it's time for dinner."
Fitz kissed her on the cheeks before disappearing to the bathroom. Olivia had the patio set with two floor pillows and a short table in the middle of them. She'd taking the dish with curry along with the roti she'd gotten from the Indian shop she'd google on her way home. She was surprise to find that they were three of them in close proximity to her workplace. She loved sitting outside listening to the ocean waves and watching the sky color change when the sun is setting or rising. She sat comfortably on one of the pillows waiting for Fitz to come out and join her. Shortly after she saw him walking in with his guitar - wearing a Nike shorts and armless shirt.
As he made his way to her he lifted his arms flexing his muscles, "no need to campaign anymore. The shirts are safe and the guns are free" he joked.
Olivia laughed, "You're so silly. What's with the guitar?"
"Mmm you'll know after dinner" he answered. He sat the guitar on the ground next to him as he sat opposite her on the pillows. He loves that she makes such an effort to give them a good time even if it's something small she's doing. He smiled grabbing both of her hands and requested that she closed her eyes.
She was surprise that he said grace but then again she really wasn't. After their first church going he'd requested that they go back a few times as he'd enjoyed it. She was happy that he did, he talked about feeling an extra peace in his life when he prays.
She watched as he tore the roti and dipped it into the curry with his hands; she waited for him to yell out at the hotness of it. She watched as he chewed on the food with his eyes close savoring the flavor.
"Mmmmm, Livvie I feel like you're trying to make love to my mouth baby" he said enjoying the mouthwatering taste on his tongue.
Olivia couldn't believe it, she thought he would've been sweating from the heat but here he was eating this very spicy food like if it's nothing. "Wow" she said in both amazement and defeat. "I thought you won't be able to handle it."
Fitz smirked at her, "is it because I'm white and we can't handle spicy food?"
Olivia laughed and answered, "Yes and no. You just surprise me all the time" she added shaking her head while digging into her own food.
"Likewise, Ms. Pope. This is so good" he added while licking his fingers.
Their meal continued like that, occasionally Olivia would give him a bite from her hands and he would eat it up but for most part Fitz ate his own food moaning appreciatively at it.
Once they were finished eating they sat and talked about their day. It was already dark and just the candles that she'd lighten earlier was casting a soft glow on their skins.
Fitz took in the atmosphere around him. It was so peaceful and beautiful with the stars shining bright in the sky and the crash of waves providing a calm caressing sound. It was even better because of the most beautiful amazing woman he'd known sitting beside him. When he'd seen her getting up to clear the table he interjected and did it. He took all the dishes to the kitchen and returned to her. He removed the table from between them and placed it to the side and grabbed his guitar from off the floor.
"Here's your after dinner treat" he said while plucking his fingers on the strings.
Olivia sat enthralled watching him as he watched her playing a beautiful tune on his guitar.
"I hope you like this song as you're the one that influenced me to write it."
Olivia blushed and continued to watch him as he played his guitar skillfully.
You fix your make up, just so
Guess you don't know, that your beautiful
Try on every dress that you own
You were fine in my eyes, a half hour ago
If your mirror won't make it any clearer I'll
Be the one to let you know
Out of all the girls
You my one and only girl
Ain't nobody in the world tonight
All of the stars, you make them shine like they were ours
Ain't nobody in the world but you and I
You and I
Ain't nobody in the world but you
You stop the room when we walk in
Spotlights on everybody staring
Tell all of these boys, they wasting their time
Stop standing in line, cause your all mine
And this evening I, won't let the feeling die
I never wanna leave your side
Out of all the girls
You my one and only girl
Ain't nobody in the world tonight
All of the stars you make them shine like they were ours
Ain't nobody in the world but you and I
You and I
Ain't nobody in the world
As he finished strumming the last sound he watched as her tear streak face smiled brightly at him. He made his way over to her and kissed her passionately conveying all of the feelings he has for her in it. He repeated the lyrics of the song to her, "you my one and only girl."
Olivia couldn't believe that he wrote a song for her. She'd never felt so cherished and loved in her life like she felt in that moment. Once they've parted from their kiss for air she stood on shaky legs reaching out her hands to him. He took her hands, "let's go to our room" she said.
She led him to their bed and stripped herself from every article of clothing she was wearing standing completely nude in front of him. She then did the same for him then led him over to sit on the chair in front of the floor length mirror. She kissed him slowly and languidly feeling out every crevices of his mouth. Her hands stroked his shoulders and neck- torso and back feeling every lean muscle in their wake. She continued her ministrations feeling her juices seeping down her inner thighs. When she thought it was enough she slowly climbed onto his lap and positioned herself to take him in. She watched as their bodies unite in the mirror and she gasped at the union. "Look babe" she breathes on his ear urging him to watch their naked bodies in the mirror. She watched as he sucked in air from the sight. Their eyes met each other and they maintained contact as she moved up and down his shaft. The pleasure she was feeling was out of this world. Her soul felt connected to his as their body joined each other's. When she felt his hip swiveling beneath her it was her undoing, she threw her head back and allowed herself to let go of all control as her juices coat him. Not long after she felt his grip tighten on her hips as he released himself into her. They stayed that way wrapped up in each other none willing to break the sacred bubble.
