I hear a hard knock at the door that causes me to sit up in my bed alarmed. I look over at the clock and the green bright numbers that read 4:32 a.m. I throw the covers from my body and put my robe on. I hear voices in the hall and my curiosity peaks. Before I can reach the door it swings open and he walks in. My eyes widen in surprise.
"What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same question."
"It's in the middle of the night and you show up to my home that is not ok." His eyes widen.
"Your home? This is your home? Could have fooled me Mellie." I scoff I don't want to have this conversation I have no clue why he wants to have this conversation.
"Is there something wrong with the papers? I didn't ask for anything and I'm willing to give you joint legal and physical custody of Teddy." I am really confused why he's here.
"Are you fucking kidding me right now Mellie? You are going to stand there and pretend that it's perfectly normal that you just sprung divorce papers on me. That you left town with our son without so much as a word to me?"
"Are you going to stand there and pretend like the reason I was able to leave without you knowing is because you were off fucking your whore? Are you going to stand there and pretend like you haven't shit on me at every turn for the last six years. I'm over it Fitzgerald and I'm over you! I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. So sign the damn papers and leave me the hell alone!"
"No! It's not going to be that simple Melody. You don't get to walk away now. I wanted a divorce two years ago and you pulled every trick in the book so that I couldn't be happy now that you have Andrew you think I'm about to look the other way while you two go gallivanting off into the sunset?" Mellie looks at me confused. I think momentarily that maybe I have gotten this situation wrong, but the words are already out there and I can't take them back.
"Oh I see what this is about. You don't want me, but you don't want anyone else to have me. Is that what this is Fitz? You want to punish me because I didn't acquiesce to your demands and let you go off with your mistress. This isn't about Andrew or any other man. This is about you and I, this is about you being a shitty husband and an even worse father." I would never hit a woman but at this moment I want to slap the taste out of her mouth.
"You are damn lucky I'm not like my father." I can't help, but to roll my eyes and scoff. "Otherwise I'd slap the shit out of you for talking to me this way and insinuating I'm not a good father."
I step close to his face. "Since you are very much like your father go ahead and hit me and I'm not insinuating, I'm saying you are a horrible father." I can feel the venom boiling through my blood. I am not feeling hurt at this moment I am angry, angrier than I have ever been in my entire life. Angry that when I had a bad moment that was not my own fault, that he walked away from me. He made me out to be this villainous bitch that I'm not. I fail down on the job one time and my entire life was over.
"Mellie get out of my face. I won't give you the satisfaction of hitting you." I push her away from me, not trusting myself with her close proximity. She steps back into my personal space.
"Hit me Fitz it's what you want!" I push her away again.
"Mellie stop! I came here to talk to you."
"No you came here to intimidate me why else would you show up to my home at this time of the morning."
"This is not your fucking home!" She's back in my face pointing her finger at me.
"This is my home where I don't feel like a second class citizen to some whore!" I smack her finger out of my face.
"Don't call her a whore!"
"Olivia Pope is a whore! Whore whore whore!" I know I'm being completely immature and walking on thin ice and I don't care. He turns from me and I can tell he's trying to compose himself.
"I know what you're doing and it's not going to work." He states in a deadly still voice. "I won't be derailed from the conversation that we need to have."
"There is nothing for us to talk about. I want a divorce, I've had papers drawn up, I signed said papers and you need to do the same, end of."
"No….no!" He turns to me with fire blazing in his eyes. In one swift motion he clears the contents on top of my dresser as jewelry, mirrors and small trinkets go crashing to the floor. I stand rooted in place, shocked at his outburst. He stalks over to me and grabs my shoulders. "We are in this hell together and you won't be walking away, not until I say you can walk away." His fingers are biting into my flesh. I try to shrug him off.
"Get the fuck off me Fitz." I say trying to get away from him.
"I can't touch you now?" He states through clenched teeth. "Did you tell Andrew to get off of you?"
His fingers dig into my flesh even deeper at the thought of Andrew. I'd never realized before how much my affair with Andrew truly bothered him.
"No I didn't as a matter of fact I begged for more. He satisfied me in ways that you never could." He grabs me even tighter. His jaw clinches and I know he's fighting to control his anger.
"I'm surprised his dick didn't freeze off after being in your frigid pussy." Mellie snatches away from me and slaps me across my face. The sting reverberates down my spine into my feet. I instinctually hold my face where she has just hit me, and that only serves to make the pain worse. This is not why I came here, it really isn't, but since we are here then we might as well finish it. "Too close to the truth huh Mellie?"
"At least he could keep it hard long enough to get inside of me!" I flinch at that verbal assault.
"I asked you never to bring that up again. It was an isolated incident."
"I asked you to do a lot of things namely love, honor and cherish me, but did you do that? And since when is two months isolated? You limp dick motherfucker!" I grab her face and push her against the wall. I can see the momentary terror in her eyes that she quickly tries to tamp down.
"Don't you fucking ever bring that up again! I'm not playing with you Mellie." I push her head into the wall harder before I release her face. Before I can step away she lunges at me. She starts to hit and scratch me like a rabid animal. I try to grab her arms to stop the assault but I just manage to get tangled in the hem of her rob which causes us both to tumble to the floor. Her momentary shock from falling gives me time to roll over her and use my body weight to pin her arms down by her side.
"Just sign the damn papers Fitzgerald!" Even splayed out on the floor with me using my body to stop her from hitting me she is unrelenting. I look down at her, I really look at her for the first time in a long time. She is red from exertion and her chest is heaving. She's beautiful. That train of thought surprises me.
"Get off me!" He looks up into my eyes.
"Are you going to stop hitting me?" I nod yes. He moves from on top of me and stands as soon as I am on my feet I swing on him, but I'm not fast enough. Fitz grabs my arms and pins them by my side before slamming me back into the door. The look in his eyes is terrifying, for a split second I wonder if he snaps my neck will the Secret Service hide my body for him.
"I knew I couldn't trust you. Any woman that allows my father to buy her can't be trusted. You never loved me did you Mellie? That's why it was so easy to turn away from me even after the rape? You didn't really want to be my wife anyway."
"That's right I didn't. I just let your father get away with raping me just for the hell of it. I figured hey I've already been brutally attacked I might as well get something out of it. I might as well give up my career and my aspirations so I can hold this man up that I don't even love and don't really want to be with. I'll use my rape to get him what he wants because I don't love him." The last of her statement is sobbed out and I know she hates that she is being vulnerable. I release her arms and step back. I go to try to comfort her, but she pushes me away.
"I'm sorry Mellie. I'm sorry for everything." Mellie had began to walk away from me, but she abruptly turns around and gets in my face again with that damn finger.
"Oh you're sorry alright, the sorriest motherfucker I've ever seen." My hands are on her again before I know it. This woman makes me lose control and any sense of being rational. I grab her around her shoulders and crush her mouth to mine. I don't know why I'm doing this, where this intense desire I have for her is coming from, but I want her.
I want her like I've never wanted anyone in my life. She doesn't struggle at first I can tell I've caught her off guard and I use this to my advantage, quickly removing her robe to reveal a curve hugging satin night gown that stops just above her knees. My hold around her shoulders softens and I begin to draw her into me. Mellie snaps out of her trance and pushes away from me, but I won't be deterred. I grab her hips and pull her back to me as I begin to make my way down the side of her face to her collarbone. I lick and nip at it and she moans. I still know her body so well. She tries again to get away, but I won't let her go.
"Stop fighting me." I go back to my previous motions as my hand begins to run up her thigh and underneath her nightgown. My hand brushes again warn flesh and I realize she isn't wearing any underwear.
I have no clue why I'm allowing this to continue, but I can't stop myself. I know this is a momentary distraction technique, but the little emotions building up in my body doesn't care right now. His hand is running up my thigh. When he realizes I don't have underwear on he pulls back and looks at me surprised. I reach forward and begin to pull his polo over his head, throwing it to the floor when I'm done. My hands run through the soft down hair on his chest. Fitz captures my mouth and slides his tongue in past my parted lips. His hands push up my night gown and brings it over my head in one swift motion. Soon it feels like his fingers is everywhere. He teases my nipples and then his hand runs slowly down my body until he reaches the heat between my legs where he gently manipulates me.
Mellie moans into my mouth as a stroke her. She reaches between us and unbuckles my belt and unfastens my jeans before pulling the zipper down. Her hand reaches into my boxers and begins to stroke me. I pull her hand away knowing I won't last long before I pull my jeans and boxers down and hoist her up. I carry Mellie over to the bed and lay her down, before climbing on top of her. She opens her legs wide and I can tell from the glistening folds that she is ready for me. I slip into her tight heat and began to move inside of her. We set a frantic rhythm and I know neither of us is going to last long. After a couple minutes of stroking Mellie begins to clinch around me, her fingers dig into my back.
"I'm close." She hisses out. My pace picks up and I begin to brush against her g-spot with the tip of my penis. "Fuck" She says in a breathy voice. He leg tightens around my waist and she digs her heels into my lower back.
"I'm about to cum." Fitz says through gritted teeth. He shits his weight and slides in deeper and that is all it takes for me to come undone. I moan out his name as I reach my peak. I hear him finish and as he comes down he continues to slowly move inside of me. Fitz bends down and kisses me before pulling out of me and laying on his back. He reaches for me but I shrug him off, before exiting the bed. I throw my robe on, when I turn around he is looking at me funny.
"This doesn't change anything I still want a divorce." I say before stepping into the bathroom and closing the door.
