Here's the newest installment! I've been trying to write a new chapter every few days. Thanks for the reviews. They put a smile on my face and keep me motivated. Keep em comin! Hope you enjoy this chapter. Happy reading:)
"What are you doing here?"
"It's good to see you, too," he said in a soft, slightly sardonic tone while standing in the hallway.
"Sorry, I just. I was expecting someone else."
"Oh,I see," Fitz looked down to the ground, wondering who she would be having over at this time of night.
"No, not... Brad just called me and invited me out unexpectedly. I thought he was surprising me. Come in, you don't have to stand out there."
Fitz walked into her house. It seemed like forever since he was there last. Everything looked exactly the same. He saw the pictures on her piano were all still there, even the ones of them when they were a couple. He didn't want to be obvious about it so he looked away quickly and smiled at her.
"Hi, Olivia." He walked closer to her, putting his arms around her gently for a hug.
She crossed her arms around his shoulders, melding into his body. She loved the way he hugged her. They always fit perfectly together. Fitz let go, walking backwards a few steps until his back was against the wall, enough distance to look at her completely. He placed his hands in his pockets.
"Really, Fitz. What are you doing here?"
"I was in New York again and finished my work a few days ahead of schedule. I've been thinking about you a lot, and decided to roll the dice and take the drive down here to see you. It's been too long Liv."
She walked over back to where she had been sitting on her couch while talking to Bradford on the phone.
"Oh my goodness," she just remembered that she hung up on Brad when she answered the door. She began calling him back. "I'm sorry, Fitz. I gotta call Brad back really quickly."
"That's fine." He walked over to sit on the other end of the couch.
"Hey Brad. Sorry I hung up on you. Something just came up, so I can't meet with you tonight...Yeah, I know...But we'll catch up before you head home, okay?...love you too. Bye." She put her phone down, and looked over at Fitz who was staring at her the whole time. His grey eyes looked tired, but he still looked handsome dressed in his suit and tie.
"I've missed you Liv."
"I missed you too."
"You haven't called me, it doesn't seem like you missed me."
"Well, I did. But if we're going that route, then you haven't called me either."
Fitz leaned forward to slowly take his jacket off. He threw it on the chair adjacent to where he was sitting. He sat back in the corner of the couch, his arm relaxing on the side.
He looked at her and in a calm, warm voice he asked,"Olivia, do you know that I love you?" She stared at him blankly.
He continued in a slow pace,"I'm in love with you. I think about you every day. You are my first thought when I wake up, and my last before I fall asleep. When I dream, I dream about you, about us. After our weekend in New York, that didnt change. But I felt like if you were feeling the same way, then you would call me. Or send an email...Something.I mean, I get it. Out of the two of us, I'm the more verbal one. I'm more emotional. But babe, sometimes I need to be reminded that I'm not fighting for something that you don't even want. So that's why I'm here. I don't want to wonder anymore. Is this what you want? Do you want us to try again? Do you want to work at this? At us?"
Olivia sat there in her corner of the couch, calmly taking in what he had just said. She stood up and walked over to where he was sitting so that she could sit as close to him as possible. She sat her tiny body right next to him, propping herself on her knees to face him as she grabbed his hands into hers, while looking him in his eyes.
"Fitz, I love you too. You're right, it's hard for me to be verbal about it. I get so wrapped up in my life and my job. I'm still trying to figure out how to do it all. I want us to be together, but it's not easy for me. I don't know how to make us work. I honestly don't. When we're together, I couldn't ask for anything more. But we live on different ends of the country, and we both are consumed with work. I hated it when we would argue about which one of us works too much and why don't we set aside time for each other. It killed me to yell with you when all I wanted was to just be with you. Just sit, sometimes in silence, and just be. I want that back, I do. But I think I need help figuring out how." Liv surprised herself in her honesty asking for help.
Fitz grabbed her hands and kissed each one separately.
"I accepted a permanent position in New York City this week."
"What?!"
"Yeah. They really wanted me to give it a try. And I accepted it. I know it's not the same as me living in DC but its a quick drive and an even faster flight. So, I want us to try again." He brought his hand to Olivia's face and held it as they stared into one another's eyes.
"I want to try again too Fitz," she replied raising a hand to hold his against her face. She kissed the inside of his palm.
Fitz started talking."I know it won't be easy, and we have to really figure out some ground rules about seeing each other and talking regularly. We can't go days without even hearing each others voices with the quick commute I don't see why we won't be able to be with each other most weekends."
Olivia smiled at the thought of them making the relationship work. She was happy that he would be on the east coast with her and was hopeful about the possibilities for them as a couple.
" a start." She let out a deep breath."So what's the plan for the rest of your weekend?" She asked.
"I'm not sure exactly. I was hoping you and I could get some rest and kind of go wherever the wind takes us. I have to head back west to tie up some lose ends but thats not until next week. We have a few days to catch up and makeup for lost time."
Liv liked the sound of that. She crawled up to Fitz, placing herself in his lap, her tiny legs wrapped around his waist. She put her hands on either side of his face and leaned in for a slow passionate kiss. Fitz placed his hands on her waist grabbing her into him. As he did that, their kiss got deeper, Liv tilting her head to allow his tongue further into her mouth. He pulled back, nipping her bottom lip as he brought one hand up to slightly grab the back of her neck.
"Mmmmm, Fitz," Olivia moaned as he began kissing and slowly licking her neck. He finished his exploration beneath her chin, peppering small kisses up to her cheek.
She leaned back to look at him.
"I'm starving, Liv," Fitz said tiredly.
"Starving as in food right? Not the other thing." She had to ask, not sure as to what he was referring to.
He chuckled and held her hips close to him."We'll I'm always hungry for that other thing, but right now I'm hungry for some food. Like, pizza, Chinese, anything really. I haven't eaten since this morning and I was too anxious to eat before I got here."
She gave him a quick kiss on his lips."Thats cute," she said while smiling at him."And since you're literally hungry and not referring to giving me some kind of pleasure, ill order some Chinese for you."
"Don't get me wrong, I plan on doing alot of that other kind of eating this weekend. We have some time to makeup for. But for now, some egg rolls will do just fine." He smiled at her, exciting her about their weekend together.
"I'm gonna go put the order in. If you want to change I still have some of your clothes in the bottom right dresser drawer."
Liv stood up to grab her phone and place the food order. Fitz sat for a minute as she scrolled through her contacts to find the number she had saved from their favorite takeout spot. He watched her as she dialed, smiling at her.
"What?" She looked at him and whispered while waiting for someone to answer the call.
"Nothing," he responded, standing up walking past her. He quickly kissed her shoulder and squeezed her ass as he walked by her to the bedroom to get changed. She let out a light squeal in response, making him laugh. She placed the order and grabbed some blankets from the chest in her living room for them to cuddle with on the couch.
"Do you wanna watch a movie?" She yelled from the living room while he changed.
"Sure. I might fall asleep, but I'm game."
"You always fall asleep. That's nothing new."
He walked out to the living room with a fitted dark blue tshirt on and a pair of light gray sweatpants.
"Not always. Only when you make me watch sappy stuff like On the Hill."
"You know that's not what it's called. Trying to be funny."
He plopped himself on the couch dragging her with him.
"Oh that's right. I meant Notting Hill." He lightly laughed, kissing the top of her head, her back resting against him.
"Its my favorite movie! Just for that, guess what we're watching..."
"You know that either way, that's the movie we were gonna watch." He poked her side making her squirm and laugh.
The night continued with them laying on the couch, enjoying their Chinese food, and watching Livs favorite movie. Fitz fell asleep, as promised. His snoring became too loud for her to enjoy any more of the film, so she woke him up, walking with him to bed. They both fell asleep immediately, wrapped up in one another's arms until the morning.
"Fitz, baby, wake up," she whispered in his ear while rubbing his back. Olivia was propped on her side laying slightly higher than him.
He was sleeping on his stomach and started moving at the feel of her hands. He groaned into his pillow.
"Its too early to wake up."
Liv snickered. "It's 10:30 in the morning. It's not too early, it's too late. Half the day is almost gone." She began softly kissing his shoulder, causing him to turn his head and look at her.
"You better stop unless you're trying to get me hard," he said with a smile.
"Mmmm, always."
"Oh yeah? Is that how we're starting this day off?"
"If you want to, I don't see why not." She started scratching light circles on the skin under his tshirt. He slowly turned over so he was on his back and she continued caressing him, now along his abdomen, sliding her hands down under his briefs to his growing bulge.
Leaning into his ear again she said,"looks like little Fitz wants to come out and play."
Fitz looked at her with one eyebrow raised,"Little? Has it been that long that you've forgotten?"
She squeezed his growing length firmly causing him to let out a deep growl.
"Little, big Fitz?" She asked in a sarcastic tone while still rubbing him.
"How about Fitzgerald Thomas the Fourth?"
Olivia let out a loud laugh."You're so cocky."
"Yeah, that's the point!" He laid there letting her rub him, massaging his hardening member. Watching her beautiful eyes staring at him.
"Let's go take a shower Liv."
She leaned to kiss his mouth but he slightly pulled away.
"Hey, what's that about?" She paused her hand movements in between his legs.
"Morning breath." He looked at her with an embarrassed look, slanting his lips awkwardly.
"My breath stinks? I already brushed before I woke you up."
Fitz laughed."No, not you, me. My breath is gross. You know I get wierd about that. Come on, you can start the shower and get nice and soapy for me. I'll brush my teeth and gargle and then we can resume this little thing you got going on." He winked at her, grabbing her hand and leading her into the bathroom.
She undressed out of her clothes from the night before. Fitz staring at her the entire time. She tied her hair up in a high bun and jumped in the shower.
"Fitz I could really use some company in here." He could see her lathering body wash on herself. Seeing her wash her breasts through the steamed glass almost made him come without even touching her.
"Am I interrupting?" He playfully asked as he stepped in under the warm water with her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, her arms around his neck. They began kissing deeply as he pressed his erection against her stomach.
"Minty fresh." Olivia said in between a kiss. He laughed, sliding his tongue into her mouth even further.
They walked into the wall of the shower, Livs back leaned against it. Their kissing was passionate and full of desire. Fitz raised his hands to grab hers from behind around his neck. He intertwined their fingers, lifting her arms straight above her body against the wall forcing her to lock her elbows.
"You're so sexy Olivia," he moaned in her ear.
She could only manage to let out a light whimper.
"You're making me so wet Fitz."
"Mmmm. Really?" He leaned back to look at her face. They smiled at each other."I'll be the judge of that."
He let go of her hands, which she immediately placed back in his wet, curly brown locks. As he kissed his way down her body she prepared herself for what he was about to do.
He got low enough to be on his knees, the hot water beating down on him. He lifted Livs leg to place it over his shoulder, using his large hands to hold her body steady.
"You okay?" He asked looking up at her.
She looked down at him,touching the side of his face, loving the fact that he just asked her that. All she could manage was a nod in response. He gave her an intense gaze, taking in the beautiful woman he was about to enjoy.
He slowly began to lick her giving long strokes with his wide tongue. Slipping in between her slit delicately. He loved how she tasted and she loved how he felt.
"Fitz," she said, almost as prayer. He licked deeper, burying his face in between her legs. He lifted her other leg so that she was propped with her back against the shower wall, both legs resting on either of his shoulders. She began grinding into his face as he held her hips steady. Olivia felt like he had been eating her for hours. She scratched the top of his head, pulling at his hair.
"Oh. Fitz. I'm...I'm gonna," just then her thighs clenched Fitz' neck as he held her tightly while she proceeded to unravel.
She was panting deeply with her mouth wide open trying to pull herself together. Fitz carefully began to stand up maneuvering her legs around and down his body until they were both standing face to face. He held her face in his hands and kissed her sweetly.
"You taste so good," he whispered. "I hope that was what you needed to get your day started right." He smiled and kissed her neck,lightly licking and biting it.
"Mmmmm. Don't think I didn't notice Fitzgerald Thomas the Fourth is still needing some attention." She grabbed his hard cock and began stroking it."Tell me what you want."
"God, Liv. You just love jerking me off don't you?" He leaned his head back enjoying the feeling of both her hands pulling at his erection.
"Tell me, Fitz. What do you want?Anything," she whispered. The shower steam made the air thick making it harder to breathe. She was breathing deeply standing with his body pressed so tightly against hers.
"I want you to turn around. I want to take you from behind," he said firmly as he stared into her brown eyes.
Without even responding she turned around, facing her back to him. Liv raised her arms so her palms were planted on the tiled wall in front of her. She slightly arched her back, letting Fitz know she was all his. He took the cue and stepped into her while grabbing her hips. He slid in perfectly as she was still swollen and wet from his tongue.
"Fuck," he groaned, raising his arms to meet her hands against the wall. He began a slow grind into her tight pussy.
"Ohhhh God, Fitz. You feel so good baby."
He kept the motion going, savoring this perfect feeling, knowing it wouldn't be long before he came. His deep, circular grinding soon transitioned into a pumping motion. Olivia kept her hands on the wall, letting him take her however he needed.
"I'm so close, Liv. Spread your legs a little more for me baby."
"Mmmm, yes." She spread her legs.
The change in position, however slight, made Fitz crazy.
"Damn, Liv," his right hand slapped her right ass cheek once. He started to fuck her hard, pounding into her in a quick, steady rhythm.
"Fitz, Im gonna come again!"
"Yes baby. Come for me. I'm almost there!"
He slammed into her deeply and she took it all. Within seconds he could feel her pussy tighten around his cock.
"Fitz!" She let his name linger from her mouth as she came for the second time. Almost immediately he felt his body tighten as he reached his climax. He released into her.
"Fuck, Olivia!" He screamed her name loudly as he pulled her into him as closely as they could get. She felt drugged. Weak, dizzy, disoriented. She stood up, slowly straightening herself as he removed himself from inside her.
He grabbed some body wash and lathered it in his hands as he began to wash her entire body. They stood in silence under the beating water as she allowed herself to be taken care of by him. After they cleaned up they both left the shower together, drying off and getting into comfortable clothes they could go grab food in.
"For the record," Fitz said as he got situated in his jeans, "that was one of the best showers I've ever had." They made eye contact and he winked at her causing her to smile widely.
"Which was better," she asked, walking closer to him while buttoning her blouse,"our shower just now, or our shower at that ski resort? Remember, the one in Utah? It was the night that you surprised me with my necklace." She stood in front of him with her doe eyes, almost as if she were replaying that evening in her mind right then and there.
"I think this is a trick question," he joked and smiled, grabbing her around her waist."But, if my memory serves me correctly, we didnt stop for hours that night. And you were all kinds of wild. I think being in nature brought out a side of you that I hadn't known existed. Actually, now that I think of it, maybe we should take another ski trip. I could go for hitting some slopes. And, of course, exploring Livvie in the wild." He laughed a little, kissing her neck.
"Mmmm. Yea, I could go for that too."
As she raised her arms to reach around his shoulders, Fitz's phone began to vibrate. It was on a nearby table.
"I should probably grab that."
"Yeah, I think so," she nodded and smiled.
Fitz picked up the phone realizing it was Karen trying to FaceTime him.
"Dad!" She exclaimed in excitement as his face showed up on her screen. Olivia knew that Fitz and the kids kept in contact regularly and thought it was great. She wanted to give him some time to catch up with his daughter so she walked to the bedroom to grab laundry.
"Hey, Karen! What's up kiddo? I thought we were supposed to FaceTime this evening? Did I have my time wrong?"
"Nope. You're right. That was the plan. But my roommate invited me to go to dinner with her and a few people so I wanted to try and grab you now."
"Oh,cool. So what's new? I mean, I know I just talked to you a few days ago."
"Yeah, everything's the same. Really I wanted to chat with you for a selfish reason. I'm just being nosy. Did you end up seeing Liv at all? On Monday you said you might travel to DC and see her at the end of the week."
"Funny you should ask.I'm at her place now. We're about to go grab breakfast."
"What?! You're at Liv's crib?! Where is she? I wanna say hi!"
Fitz thought her excitement was adorable. He made his way to the bedroom where Olivia was making a pile of dirty clothes. He handed the phone to her. On the screen was a beautiful teenager, dark brown hair, and grey eyes like her father.
"Oh my goodness! Look at you! How are you babe?" Olivia loved Fitz's kids. She fell in love with them the moment she met them on the trail. They were pretty good about keeping in touch after the presidency but after the breakup it wasn't as easy.
"I've missed you Liv! You look great! I mean, seriously, you're the only person that gets hotter as they get older. It makes me kinda sick," she scrunched her face which playfully turned into a smile and laughter.
"So I guess if you guys are at your place, in the middle of the day, things are going well? Tell me you worked it out, please. I can't take my Dad calling me every other day out of loneliness and boredom."
"Hey!" Fitz yelled from the background, walking over to Liv. He stood behind her so they both fit in the screen."You're a trouble maker, Kare," he said while smiling.
"Awwww, you guys are so cute. I'm gonna take a screenshot picture real quick. Smile!"
They posed together, Fitz' chin resting on Olivia's shoulder, their faces right next to each other.
"Perfect. Look, I gotta go guys, but I'll talk to you soon. Liv, when are we gonna get to see you. I'm sure Jerry's gonna wanna see you too."
"Well, whenever. Now that your dad is going to be living on the east coast we can probably travel up to see you kids. I'd love to visit New Hampshire soon. It's the perfect time of year."
"Maybe a ski trip in a month or so? Liv and I were just talking about how she loves the great outdoors" Fitz smirked, pinching Livs ass causing her to almost drop the phone.
She slightly turned to dart him a look from the side of her eye.
"Yeah that's cool. Just text me the dates so I can make sure I don't have any other plans. Ill let Jer know. I really gotta go guys. Love you!" She blew air kisses into the screen at them and ended the call.
"She looks really good, Fitz. I'm glad she's enjoying herself at school."
"Yea, you know Karen. She's a good girl. Jerry on the other hand...talk about a ladies man," he scoffed.
"And I wonder where he gets that from." She stated sarcastically while poking him hard in his chest.
"Ow! Listen, I can't help it around you. Speaking of which, I hope you're already thinking about that ski trip. I want you to bring that bag of tricks you used to have. You do still have it, don't you?" Despite the casual context of the conversation, Fitz was dead serious about his last question.
"Jeez, Fitz. Yes, I still have it. You act like that bag carries gold or something."
"Uhhh, the stuff you have is wayyyy better than gold. I cannot wait for this trip now."
Olivia laughed at his excitement
"Yea, I can tell. I'm excited too. But if you don't feed me, I might whither away, and then that means no trip, and no bag of tricks."
"You're right. Lets get going."
They walked towards the door. Olivia turning off lights and grabbing her keys.
"Oh, and you definitely have to bring that little outfit I like."
"Fitz, we haven't even booked the hotel yet..."
"I'm emailing my assistant as we speak."
"You're relentless..."
"Just don't forget the outfit."
