Fitz & Olivia slept in Saturday morning. Olivia was the first to wake. She was still in Fitz's arm. He had not let her go. She laid there thinking about last night. It was magical. It felt like something that only happened in movies. What she had was better.
Fitz knew that Olivia was awake. He was scared to open his eyes. He was not sure what he was going to see. He finally opened his eyes to see the love of his life looking at him. As he looked in her eyes he saw calm, peace, and happiness. There was not a hint of regret.
Fitz smiled, "Good morning sweet baby. How are you this morning?"
Olivia smiled, "Morning baby. I am perfect. What is on the agenda today?"
Fitz said, "Well you have someone coming to see you at one to help you get ready. Then I am planning on us doing something at 2:30."
Olivia nodded, "How about a shower and then we cook breakfast together?"
Fitz nodded, "Sounds good."
They headed to the steam shower. It was a little before ten and if you looked at the steam coming from the shower you were not sure where the steam came from. Olivia pushed Fitz against the wall and went down on him. Fitz wanted to finish inside her. He picked her up and moved her against the all. There was several rounds of hot steamy sex before they got clean.
They went and prepared breakfast together. Olivia sat in his lap and they fed each other. They thought they were in love with each other, but making love last night had brought a whole new layer of love that neither of them were prepared for.
As they finished cleaning the kitchen there was someone knocking on the door. Fitz answered and two women came in. Fitz let her know that they were a local hair and make-up artist that were recommended to him for her.
He brought out a dress bag and shoes for Olivia. She had no idea where he had this bag. In the bag was a Robert Cavalli Mesh-Inset Embroidered Scuba Knit Blue Dress. It was beautiful and Olivia loved the cutout in the back.
She had no idea where they were going but she was excited. The women help her get ready. Her hair was half up and half down. It was tousled. She loved it. Her make-up was heavy but natural at the same time. She tipped them and went back into the room and got dressed.
She came out and looked for Fitz but could not find him. Finally she looked outside and saw Fitz talking to a gentlemen.
Fitz turned around and Olivia was caught off guard by how sexy he looked. He was in a Hugo Boss Two-Button Navy suit. He had no tie on and the tops buttons of his shirt was left open. His hair was geld back. It had that old Hollywood feel.
Olivia smiled. Fitz came over and kissed her. He grabbed her hand to bring her over to the gentlemen.
Fitz said, "Brian, I want to introduce you to my lovely girlfriend who will one day be my wife Olivia Pope. Livvie this is Brian Smith and he is a celebrity photographer out of Miami."
Brian smiled, "Hi Ms. Pope it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you. You are even more beautiful that Fitz told me."
Olivia smiled, "Thank you. Please call me Olivia. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Brian excused himself to finish getting things set up.
Fitz turned to her, "We are doing a photo shoot on the beach Livvie. You have no pictures since college. From now on I want you to have photos that you can go back on and look at all the good times you have. Brian is going to do a session with us together and individually."
Olivia was excited. The ocean was a perfect back drop. The only part that Olivia was not aware of is that he was going to use these pictures for their save-a-dates that would be going out in the next two weeks. He was also going to use one for their rehearsal dinner and reception.
Their session with Brian was a blast. Olivia felt like a princess. The pictures of her and Fitz were her favorite. It was one thing to know that you are in love with someone. It is another that the camera captures it.
Brian smiled as they looked at the pictures he took, "You guys radiate love. It is nice to see that true love still exists."
They smiled and thanked Brian. Olivia enjoyed their session. Once Brian left a car pulled up. Fitz told her they had to go. All she needed was her purse. He had already packed their bags up. She grabbed it and they left. A short time later they arrived at the air strip. Tom was waiting for them. He greeted them and helped them into the plane.
Once Olivia got in her seat she noticed two bags that they had not originally had, and another bag dress. It is when she realized that Fitz had prepared for this and left these behind. Tom announced they were on their way to Miami.
Olivia was looking forward to more excitement. They landed three hours later and a limo was waiting for them. Olivia thought they were headed to a hotel so she was surprised to see them pulling up to a marina.
Olivia turned to Fitz, "Why are we at a marina with boats?"
Fitz smiled, "Baby this is our hotel until Monday. I wanted this birthday to be over the top. One that you actually get to celebrate be one you could look back on for years. I thought outside the box and rented a yacht for the next couple of days. We will celebrate your birthday on a yacht, but if you would prefer something else than that is fine."
Olivia shook her, "Don't you dare change a thing you have planned. From the moment I woke up Thursday this has been the best time in my life. The scary part is that with you I know that it will only get better. It is a risk that I am more than willing to take with you."
Fitz smiled, "I love you so much. Seeing you smile and laugh as you have these last couple of days has been everything to me. I feel like I am doing something right."
Olivia smiled and then leaned over and whispered to him, "You are definitely doing a lot right."
Fitz had chartered a 70' Azimut Luxury Motor Yacht with Jet Skis. It was luxury on water. They were greeted by the Captain and his First Mate. Shortly after they got on board they took off. Olivia enjoyed seeing Florida from the water. She enjoyed the freedom she felt at that moment.
Fitz came behind her and wrapped his arms around her and she melted. They watched the sun set. It had to be one of the most romantic things ever. They went to the master bedroom and changed.
They went out on the deck. Fitz came out with a picnic basket. There was a bottle of wine, finger sandwiches, salads, strawberries, and cupcakes for deserts. Fitz was seated on the lounger and Olivia was in between his legs. They fed each other and talked about anything and nothing. Fitz set his phone to go off at midnight so they could officially begin celebrating Olivia's birthday.
Once they finished with dinner they laid in the lounger in silence enjoying just being with each other. The sound of the ocean was their music. They were beyond relaxed. The alarm went off and Olivia started laughing. Fitz alarm was the birthday song. Fitz turned it off.
Fitz pulled her in his lap. He grabbed her face and smiled, "Happy Birthday to My Amazing Woman who has turned my life upside down and made it better. Happy 34th Livvie. This is a first of many we will celebrate."
Olivia smiled. She leaned in and kissed him. She needed him to feel her love. They broke apart.
Olivia had tears in her eyes. She shook her head so Fitz wouldn't say anything, "I am thankful to be even celebrating a birthday. When I was with Jake my birthday meant that it was another year of torture. I hated the thought of being around to be beat some more. Now being here with you and feeling your love for me makes me look forward to my next birthday which is major in itself. I love you baby. I really do."
Fitz wiped her eyes, "I love you to babe. Here is your first birthday gift from me."
Olivia frowned, "Baby you have done more than enough for my birthday. I wasn't expecting you to buy gifts for me on top of all the money you have spent with the house, the yacht, the brunch, and the photo session."
Fitz nodded, "Livvie, let me do this. This is our first year where we get to celebrate the holidays, our birthdays, and just being together. I'm not trying to buy you. I am just creating memories for the both of us, but especially you. Each year you were with Jake you had to look back and think about the abuse he inflicted. With me I want you to look back and reflect on my love for you. This being our first I'll admit is over the top. I can't promise not to spoil you but in the future other than major birthdays which next year we turn 35 won't be as grand. I need to create this memory for you and you need this memory to know this is what you deserve."
Olivia nodded, "Okay" Fitz smiled, "Okay"
Olivia took the wrapped package and opened it. She jumped off his lap with glee. Olivia had a love of technology. She always had. In front of her was the 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. She had been eyeing it for a while, but it was close to two grand just for the laptop. Money wasn't the issue. Sometimes she still felt like she was with Jake where he counted the pennies she spent when she went to the grocery store.
Olivia sat it down and went over and hugged Fitz. Fitz smiled glad that she liked her laptop.
Fitz smiled, "At home is a case, mouse, and printer to go with it."
Olivia nodded. Fitz grabbed everything and they made it to their room. They changed and got in bed. Olivia slept better when Fitz held her. She felt safe. He pulled her into him and she immediately went to sleep.
Olivia woke up at three in the morning with this ache between her thighs. At first she tried to make her brain think it away. That was not working so she closed her thighs together tightly trying to think of things to make it go away.
Needless to say nothing was working. Olivia was confused. She went almost a year in the same household with this man, months being in the same bed as him, and now after less than 48 hours her body needed him.
This was pathetic. What was she suppose to say? Hey baby, can you stick your dick in meet and make this ache in my thigh go away?
Fitz woke up because Olivia was figiting in the bed. When he opened his eyes he was concerned that she had a nightmare. That thought changed when he watched her closing her thighs together tightly. It was funny watching her. He thought about making her suffer and forcing her to tell him what she wanted. He quickly remembered that she never had that type of relationship.
Fitz leaned over since her back was to him, "I can help you with that you know."
Olivia was so embarrassed. She wouldn't turn around and look at him. What was wrong with her?
Fitz remained patient, "I want you as much as you want me. I've wanted you since the day I rescued you. I'm just a patient man. I wanted it to be good for both of us. It is nothing wrong with wanting me. You can always have me when you want, however you want, and as many times as you want me."
Olivia still wouldn't turn around and face him. However it was the tone in which he spoke that took her for a moment. As she lay there she realized the problem wasn't Fitz. It was her. She hated having to have sex with Jake even once. They was no intimacy, no foreplay, no love. He fucked her until he was satisfied. Fitz had made love to her. Her body enjoyed feeling like that. It is why it wanted more. It is why it needed more. She began to realize that he body would never tire of the things that Fitz did to it.
Olivia couldn't face him yet but she opened up her legs. Fitz took her leg and draped it over him. He was hard thinking about being in Olivia again. He slid two fingers in her clit. He made sure that she was ready. Once he knew she was ready he replaced his cock with his fingers.
He knew that she was still adjusting to his girth. He waited a few moments to make sure she was okay. She nodded her head. He entwined his fingers with hers and began to thrust in and out of her pussy. She was so wet. The moans that came out of her made him even harder. Everytime he hit her spot she made this hissing sound that turned him on. He never attempted to speed up. He knew she was ready to come. She was half moaning and half hissing.
Fitz pulled her back and they were now chest to chest. He began to thrust in her a little harder. Their hands were still entwined.
Fitz leaned over and began to whisper in her ear, "Remember this is your dick now. You never have to ask for what is yours. I want this to be the last time I wake up and see my woman suffering when what is hers is laying beside her. Do you understand?"
Olivia nodded
Fitz shook his head, "That is not good enough. I need to hear you. Otherwise I'll think you are not accepting that this is yours."
Olivia couldn't think. This man had turned her brain into mush. She could let him stop. She mustered up everything in her to respond, "I understand Fitz. It's mine. I'm about to cum Fitz."
Fitz never stopped pumping in and out of Olivia, "I know baby. Let go. I know you are ready to cum. It's okay. I'm right here."
Fitz kept pumping in and out of Olivia. She finally let go and her orgasm took Fitz with her and he emptied his seed in her.
They just laid there for what seem like forever. They were sticky. Fitz got up to take a shower. He didn't want Olivia to feel like she owed him any explanation. He expected their to be some reservations when they finally had sex. Honestly he would rather they stopped if it caused her any emotional damage.
Olivia lay there. Fitz had a big dick and he knew what to do with it. More than that he knew how to tread and deal with her emotions. As she lay there she felt bad. It seemed like he was always playing second fiddle to the damage that Jake caused. He never flinched. He never got down. Jake was not winning tonight. Fitz was number one.
Olivia jumped up and went into the bathroom. She opened up the shower door. He turned around and looked at her. He honestly did not know what was happening.
Olivia face was serious, "Did you mean what you said in the bed?"
Fitz nodded, "Yes, you know I would never intentionally lie to you."
Olivia smiled, "Good. I want you to fuck me. You have made love to me twice. You are so worried about causing me emotional damage that you really haven't gotten to enjoy being with me. If that is mine they take me against the wall and fuck the shit out of me. Make me scream. Imprint my walls with your cock so when I wake up later I know you are mine."
Fitz looked at Olivia. He picked her up in his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist, "Are you sure?"
Olivia smirked, "I'm sure if this is mine. If not then maybe we should talk..."
Olivia never got to finish that statement before Fitz thrust in Olivia. She wasn't sure if fuck was the appropriate word now. Fitz wasn't thrusting in and out of her. He was more like pistoning in and out of her. She eventually gave up and allowed him total control.
Olivia had to eat her words. Fitz fucked the shit out of her in the shower. The water and him kissing her drowned out some of her screams. The fact that she lost her voice at the end was funny. She had never felt like that. It was rough, but it was good. When he was done her legs were weak. She held onto him while he bathed them. He dried her off and lotioned her body. He got them back in bed a little after five.
Fitz was up again at ten. He put some clothes on and went up to the flybridge seating. He wanted to enjoy the weather and get some air.
His mind was still on last night. He gave Olivia what she wanted. It was good. It actually was too good. He shouldn't have done it.
Olivia woke up a little after Fitz left. When he got out of bed her body felt that safety net was no longer there.
She got up and put some clothes on when her phone rang. She looked at it and seen it was her mom.
Olivia answered, "Happy Birthday Sweetie"
Olivia realized it was both her moms.
"Thank you"
"We didn't want to call to early. We figured you guys would be doing your thing."
"We went to bed a little after midnight after I opened my first gift."
She left out the waking up and going back to bed.
"That's good so what have you gotten. He wouldn't tell us anything."
Olivia explained what they had done since arriving in Florida. Her moms were too funny talking about needing a man to treat them that way. It made her pause and think about how well Fitz really treats her.
"Well honey I am sure that he has a day planned for you so we'll let you go. We just wanted to talk to you on your birthday for a minute now that we can again."
"I know and I am glad to talk to you. I love you both"
"We love you to baby."
Olivia ended the call. Both Maya and Jenny noticed Olivia's tone change when they said they needed a man like Fitz. Fitz was obviously not in the room with her because she would have said something or he would.
They looked at each other and immediately called Fitz's phone. Fitz seen one of his mom's number so he answered.
"Hi moms. Livvie is not with me."
"Hi sweetie. We know. We just talked to her."
"Oh okay. Is everything okay?"
"Well we were going to ask you that. You seem to be a little down for a man who is on a yacht in the middle of the ocean with the love of his life."
"I'm sorry. I'm a little tired. Everything is fine."
"Fitz"
"Mom, I am fine. I guess I am doing some soul-searching. I wonder if I want Livvie so much that I am forcing things. You know that only makes me a nicer version of Jake."
"Is that what concerns you? Jake"
"Sometimes I close my eyes and I feel like he is in the room with us. She is better but there are just times where I realize more than others the number that he did on her.
Olivia heard Fitz and followed his voice. She was about to walk up to him when she head him talking, and then she heard him crying. Like sobbing. Olivia froze.
"Mom, what if love is not enough. What if all of this is too much and she is afraid to tell me? It would hurt but I would walk away as long as she was happy. She is my world. We are worth millions. I am smart, but I don't think I'm enough."
Olivia gasped. Tears came to her eyes. She listened to what her moms were going to tell him.
"Honey I need you to breathe. When I say breathe I mean not just now so you can stop crying and get the air back in your lungs, but breathe in the fact that Olivia is there with you. Jake did a number on you too. He damaged Olivia physically, mentally, and emotionally. Jake damaged you mentally and emotionally the day he took Olivia from you. You lost and the fact that you lost to a man who didn't give a damn about her ate at you."
Fitz said nothing.
Jenny said, "Did you tell her?"
Fitz knew what she meant. Olivia sat on the bottom steps curious now more than ever.
"No, I can never tell her. She can't take on any more blame."
"I don't think Olivia will see it that way once she thinks about it. Initially it would be a tough pill to swallow, but maybe then would she really know how much you love her."
"Yeah mom. I loved her so much that I attempted to kill myself not once but four times. The last time the both of you brought me home and stayed by my side for months."
"Damn right we did. We would do it again to save either one of you. When you lose someone who you love you do crazy things. You tried. You tried to party, you tried to drink, illegal drugs were never your thing. You just wanted the pain to go away."
"She would never forgive herself and my decisions are not on her"
"You are right, but what would Olivia think if she find out that Jake was sending you messages of Olivia saying how much she hates you? How we kept them and had Huck to listen to them, and he found that Jake had edited the tapes. That last suicide attempt where we really almost lost you Huck later found that Jake probably made her read what he wrote. He to this day probably has no idea what Jake had done."
"Mom, please can we let it go?"
"Yes if you can. She is not the only one fighting to get over Jake. You are a better man than Jake, because Olivia's happiness is everything to you. What I think is that you are selfish in remembering is that your happiness means everything to her too. You let her believe that you only suffered when she left with Jake when that damage was minimal. Jake got off on making you both suffered. He knew Olivia wanted out. That is why he threaten her with the only things that mattered to her. He knew that you lived off the hope that she had some type of feelings for you. He set out to destroy that, because Jake thought he had a backup plan if Olivia got from under his thumb. You guys would hate each other. He never realized that true love conquers all. Now the both of you have to decide if Jake gets to keep winning. You suffer in silence. That aided your heart attack. We want you around. Olivia wants you around. She talks to us about a future with you. I know that you are working with Dr. Sherry but at some point Olivia deserves to know. Did you ever think it could help her to know that her choosing Jake was not the thing that caused you the most pain?"
Fitz sat on the deck and cried. He thought about those years and the torment that Jake caused. Only his moms and Huck knew about it and the suicide.
"You are right. When we get home I will talk to her. Today is her day. This time is for her. I'm not ruining that. I love you both and I'll call you Monday night when we get home."
"Love you too."
The call ended. Olivia was confused. What Jake did to her was beyond heart breaking. However to hear that he tormented Fitz with their relationship. That those recordings that he forced her to make where he told her it was to get Fitz out of her system he was actually sending to him. That night that he promised not to beat her if she recorded that statement where she said that she hated she ever met Fitz. She was glad he was out of her life. She prayed she never seen him again was actually sent to him, and that he tried to kill himself and almost succeeded was too much. She ran towards a bathroom.
Fitz heard her. He ran down to find her in the bathroom. He saw that she was sick. He thought it was sea sickness. He got down with her and held her hair. He rubbed her back. When she finished he flushed the toilet and picked her up and took her to their bathroom. She brushed her teeth and rinsed out her mouth. He bought her a bottle of water. She smiled at him. She knew when she was pregnant that he would never leave her side.
She looked up at him. She noticed his face was pale. She could see the dried tear stains. Fitz quickly washed his face and told her that he had sat outside too long.
Olivia decided to wait to they got home to talk about what Jake did to her. She needed more time to sort through her emotions. She was determined to enjoy their day.
Fitz smiled, "Better now."
Olivia smiled, "Yeah much. I jumped up when my phone rang and I think being on the water it threw me off, but I am ready to go now."
Fitz hugged her, "Good"
They put on some shorts and a t-shirt with flip-flops. Olivia hair was in its curly state in a ponytail.
Fitz grabbed their documents if they were needed. He made sure that he had his wallet. They put their shades on and met the Captain who helped them out. He told Olivia happy birthday and enjoy their time in the Bahamas which was another surprise to Olivia. He let the Captain know when to expect them back.
Olivia loved to hike so he had arranged for them to explore Ben's Caves. They spent hours exploring and enjoying the scenery and the weather. They stopped and ate lunch. They walked along the beach. Fitz gave Olivia a piggy back ride again. As they got closer to the yacht he put her down. She turned around and kissed him. She held his face and looked at him.
Olivia looked at him, "I love you. You are my everything. I promise to protect you with every fiber of my being the same as you do for me. You are my life. This is a two-way street. I need you to know that."
Fitz nodded, "I do Livvie. I promise"
They kissed once more. They went back and changed. Fitz went into another room to shower and change. When she walked into their master bedroom there were a dozen purple roses and Casablanca lilies european wrapped. She knew that purple roses meant romantic feelings and loyalty. She looked up Casablanca lilies and read that it meant celebration. Beside it was a dress and sandals to wear for dinner. It was a Jason Wu Corded Lace Dress with Flounce Hem. She straightened her hair and put it in a high pony tail. She put on some light make-up and finally her dress and shoes.
Olivia met Fitz up on the deck. He helped her off the yacht. They went back to the beach that now had a tent with a romantic dinner for two. There was a bottle of Shiraz waiting for them. Soft romantic music was in the background. There was a server there. He brought them chilled shrimp to start their dinner. Next they had a caesar salad. Their dinner was beef tenderloin with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus. For dessert they shared a pineapple tart.
The meal flowed. The server kept stayed out their way. After their meal Fitz asked Olivia for a dance. They danced under the tent. They were in their own world.
Olivia looked up at him, "The next time I dance with you like this I want it to be our wedding day."
Fitz smiled, "Deal"
They walked back to the yacht. They went to their room and changed into their pajamas. Olivia noticed three gifts on the bed. They had little tags on them that said one, two, and three.
Olivia moved to sit between Fitz's leg. She opened the first box. It was a Tiffany Sterling silver charm bracelet. She remembered telling him in college she always wanted one.
She thanked him and opened up the second box. It held four charms. One was a Tiffany blue box, the next was a heart that said "I Love You, the third was a dog charm that was white gold with diamonds, and the fourth was an alphabet heart with the letter "O" in rose gold like her ring.
She held it together to open up the third and last gift which was a Prada Nylon Dog Carrier that she had looked to get for Pransome. In that moment it made her miss her dog. Their moms were baby-sitting him.
She leaned back and let him hold her. She thanked him. She told him how much she appreciated everything that he done to make this birthday special. It was everything that she wanted and more.
Fitz got up and moved the boxes off the bed. Olivia put the charms on her bracelet and he put it on her wrist for her. They turned on the TV and found a movie. At some point during the movie they fell asleep.
Monday morning they woke up early and ate a light breakfast. They would arrive back in Miami at five. They spend their day in the water. They used the jet skis and they went snorkeling. They ate lunch and took a shower and put comfy clothes to travel in. They packed and made sure they had all of their belongings. Tom met them at the marina to help Fitz get everything off. The First Mate also assisted. Fitz made sure to leave him and the Captain a generous tip for their help. They had helped him make some things possible that were not part of their job responsibilities.
While Fitz and Tom were getting everything loaded Olivia sent an email to Harrison, Abby, Stephen, Huck, Quinn and Georgia telling them that they would not be in the office tomorrow. They had some business they needed to handled. They could be reached on their cell if an emergency came up. Olivia had hired a young woman named Lauren as their assistant. She was working with them in the D.C. office but would be relocating with them to California. Olivia liked her the moment she hired her so she offered her the option to move as soon as they began to put a timeline in place. She was being given the same package that Tom was offered. Olivia emailed Lauren to reschedule any meeting they had which she didn't see it being many as they were handling less and less in D.C. She told Lauren the same thing that she could be contacted if any emergency came up. She also told Lauren that she only had to work a half a day since she and Fitz would not be in. She asked her to check in with everyone before she left to make sure they were okay.
Fitz came onboard and sat beside her. She put her phone away and held his hand. Tom came on the speaker letting them know they were about to take off. They settled in for the flight back which ironically was a little shorter than coming to Florida.
They landed and got everything in the car that was waiting for them. They got home and got everything in the house.
They called their moms to let them know they were home and would be by after work to pick up Pransome.
Fitz had complained of a headache when they were in the air. It had not gotten better since they got back. Olivia decided to go ahead and tell him she had emailed everyone that they would be taking another day out the office. She didn't tell him why she made the call. He assumed she was just tired.
Olivia helped Fitz change. She went and got him some medicine and a bottle of water. She laid with him until he fell asleep.
She went to their office. Her mind was fully on what Jake had done to Fitz. She was trying to decide what she was going to say to Fitz.
A/N-Did I throw you for a loop? For some I did. I know that many never thought about all that Jake done. Remember he knew that deep down Olivia had feelings for Fitz. He was smart enough to know those feelings wouldn't just go away. It is why he attempted to play them against each other. Next chapter is Olivia dealing with what Jake did to Fitz. Also Thanksgiving is up next. I will them do a time jump and move to Christmas.
