A/N: This is a long one and I am not too happy about that but it just happened lol My bad on the wait are y'all still with me? Enjoy..
"Babee.." Olivia whined into the phone. "I want to spend tonight with you especially since your dad is gone."
"Livvie, I know but I told you I already promised to hang out with the guys from the team." He said trying to sound as normal as possible and without raising any suspicions.
"Why can't I be there? I will stay out of the way. I'll even stay upstairs until they leave but I want to be where you are."
There it was. The moment he dreaded and the moment he would either have to come clean or evade the truth. He hated lying to her but this was something he had to try and solve himself. If it wasn't for him Mellie wouldn't even be plotting against them so he would just have to work his plan and make sure that she didn't find out or worry about it.
"Uhh..it's more of a team thing." He stuttered a little bit, still trying to be vague.
"So it's just you and the guys?" She questioned, needing confirmation that no one else would be around with their eyes locked on what's hers.
"Yeah..um most likely." He rubbed the back of his neck as he cleared his throat. "Lets not think about that right now, lets focus on the great time that we are going to have at the mall today picking out your dress."
"Truthfully, I am really excited about Homecoming! I already have an idea in mind for what I am looking for." Olivia hopped up off of her bed and walked to her closet looking for something casual for their trip to the mall. "I want to wear something form fitting but not too tight and of course above the knees.."
Fitz smiled on the other end of the phone as Olivia continued on about her dress, the dance, who was going to drive, if Abby and Jake would ride with them and so on. He wasn't concerned with the little details of the dance or how they would get there, he was really only looking forward to it because he was going to be there with her. To him, that was all that mattered.
"Livvie." He chuckled.
She stopped mid sentence. "What? Why are you laughing?"
"Because of you." He said smiling. "I love hearing you excited but I want you to hurry up and get dressed so that I can come get you. Do you think that you can be ready in a hour?"
"I can do an hour. Are we getting lunch there because I am starving."
"We can do whatever you want. I love you, see you in a bit." He said as he ended the call. He looked up and Jake was shaking his head. "What?"
"Nothing." Jake said as he got up and went to the living room.
"Speak, you obviously have something to say." Fitz followed him and sat on the couch across from him.
"I said I was going to stay out of your relationship so that is what I am going to do."
"When did you say that? Oh that's right, you didn't. Continue on."
"You don't need me to tell you how dumb this plan of your is, you know that already. My question is why not include Olivia and you two confront Mellie together? Throwing this party and expecting Olivia not to hear about is incredibly naive and borderline stupid. As smart as you are you sure come up with the dumbest shit." Jake scoffed.
"Easy with name calling. I get it, you don't like my plan." Fitz was becoming aggravated at Jakes mocking tone and it wasn't helping him think any clearer. "You think Mellie will listen to us as a voice of reason? If that was the case then she wouldn't be planning whatever she has planned. She definitely has other issues."
"Whatever you say Fitz. Shouldn't you be getting ready to leave?"
"I should be." Fitz said not moving from his seat.
"If you are waiting for me to tell you what you should do, you can stop because you already know what I am going to say. Have a fun time at the mall!" Jake said with faux enthusiasm as he walked out of the living room.
"I hate it when he does that." Fitz mumbled to himself before going upstairs to get dressed.
"Where are you heading Olivia?" Maya asked as she took in her appearance from her position on the couch.
"I am going to the mall with Fitz to look at dresses for Homecoming." She sat on the couch across from her mom.
"You are planning to go to the mall wearing torn jeans and tennis shoes?" Maya asked confused.
"Mom, the pants are supposed to have holes in them and these are the shoes that Fitz suggested and like them." Olivia whined.
"Go take those shoes off and put on your flats." Maya demanded in a no-nonsense tone.
"Why do you do that mom? I am old enough to choose my own shoes and I want to wear these. So I am not changing." Olivia said challenging her mother.
"Oh really?" Maya laughed and leaned forward so that Olivia would't miss a word that she said. "I am going to tell you one more time to go change your shoes or you can stay here. I would like to see how big and bad you think you really are by trying to get out of this house through me. Now, go."
Olivia knew to pick and choose her battles with her mother and this was one that she probably wouldn't win. She let out a long exaggerated sigh and slowly got up off of the couch and went to her room to change her shoes. As she was slipping on her shoe she heard the doorbell and she knew it was Fitz. She hurried down the stairs trying to make it to Fitz before he got pulled into pointless conversation with her mom. When she was almost at the bottom she almost fell and quickly grabbed ahold of the railing just in time before completely embarrassing herself.
"Olivia, are you ok up there?" She heard her mother call out and she rolled her eyes.
"I am fine." She slowly descended rest of the stairs and grabbed Fitz' hand tugging him towards the door. "We should be going.."
"Nice seeing you again Mrs. Pope, you will let Coach know I said hello when he returns?" Fitz said politely as he moved with Olivia towards the door.
"Of course. You two be safe and Fitz make sure you are driving the speed limit." Maya said patting him softly on the back as they walked out.
"Yes ma'am." He said before closing the door. He stopped walking halfway down the side walk but held on to Olivia's hand causing her to stop too.
"Did you forget something?" Olivia asked as she turned around, confused at why he had stopped walking with her.
Fitz shook his head no and pulled her flat against his body giving her a big hug. "I missed you." He said as he kissed the side of her head and she moved in closer to him holding him tight. He leaned down and whispered next to her ear, "What's wrong Livvie?"
She pulled back just enough so that she was able to lean up and kiss him softly. "Nothing, lets go." She said, giving him a small smile.
He knew that she was not ok but he didn't want to push the issue in front of her house. He kissed her forehead then walked them to the car. They rode in silence most of the trip but Fitz didn't want their day to have this cloud hanging over it.
"You can talk to me Livvie." Fitz lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed it softly. "Whatever it is..you can tell me."
"This is nice, it smells new." She looked around the Cadillac Escalade and rubbed the leather seats. "I've never seen this in your garage before..is it new? Doesn't seem like your type of car."
"When I got home last night my dad said he was sorry for the way he treated me and on his way out the door, to yet another one of his business trips, he said he had a "reward" coming for me in the morning. Reward for all my hard work this season despite last nights performance of course. When I woke up this was in the garage." He shrugged and glanced over at her taking in the fact that she was half paying attention to his response and said, "I don't want to talk about me, I want you to tell me what's wrong. Please don't lie and say nothing because I can feel something is off with you."
She sighed and said, "I don't feel like talking about it. Just let it go." She pulled her hand out of his grasp and turned towards the window.
"I don't want to let it go, I want you to talk to me, to let me in and can you please stop doing that?" He said glancing over at her again as he drove.
"Stop doing what?" She responded defensively.
Before he could answer his phone rang. "What?" Fitz answered hating the interruption.
"Are you sure you still want to go through with tonight?"
"Yes, how many times are you going to ask me the same thing? It isn't as big of a deal that you are making it out to be."
"Ok, wanted to double check and make sure."
"Talk to you later." Fitz said as he hung up and looked over at Olivia who was still waiting for his response.
"Anyway, what I was referring to was the way you pull away from me when you are mad. You don't want to talk fine but that doesn't mean you have to stop holding my hand and completely turn away from me to get your point across. Do I do that to you?" Before she could respond he continued, "Livvie, if things were the other way around you would be on my case about sharing everything-"
"I know Fitz.." She cut him off. "It's just..I d-don't know..it was sort of a reflex.." She reached over and grabbed his hand intertwining their fingers. "I'm sorry, I am not mad at you I just don't feel like talking right now..maybe later?" She asked quietly.
"I can wait as long as you promise you will talk to me?" He squeezed her hand gently letting her know he was there for her.
"I promise."
"Abby, is that you?"
Abby looked up from her seat in the library startled to see Harrison and now wondering why he talking to her like they were old friends. "Harrison."
"Nice to see you too Abby." He sat down at her table not waiting for her permission. "How have things been going?"
"Stop with the small talk Harrison, we aren't friends. Sure we speak when you are around Fitz but that doesn't make us friends."
"I was being polite Abby, sheesh. Anyway, I was just wondering if you and Olivia were coming to Fitz' party tonight." He asked flashing her his signature smile.
"I hadn't heard about any party but I am sure if Olivia was going to be there I would know." Abby said eyeing suspiciously.
"This is more of like a low key thing, honestly, I don't even know if Olivia knows about it." He said shrugging his shoulders. "I was just wondering, it starts at seven by the way. I will let you get back to your reading, studying or whatever it was that you were doing."
She sat there for a minute trying to figure what exactly had just transpired between she and Harrison. He had been friends with Fitz since forever and now he was dropping hints about a party that was supposed to be a secret? That didn't add up to her so she gathered her books and headed home to see what Olivia knew.
"What about this one?" Olivia held up a red dress that had floral print on it for Fitz to look at.
"That thing is hideous." He said making a face and they both laughed out loud at his response.
"Geeze babe, tell me how you really feel." She said as she put the dress back on the rack.
He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist kissing her cheek before saying, "Livvie, we have been bouncing around from store to store for over two and a half hours. I need to eat something before I pass out."
"You didn't eat before you left home?" She turned around in his arms and ran her fingers through his soft curls.
"No, usually I would but you said you were starving and I wanted to eat with you."
"Wow, I was so caught up in the dresses that I completely forgot about food. We can go eat." She lifted up on her toes and gently tugged his bottom lip with her teeth. "Fat boy."
"Yeah but you love me." He laughed and slapped her on the butt.
"I do. Let's get to it, I want some pizza."
"Pizza? Did you have to pick the most unhealthy thing in the mall?" He asked as they walked towards the food court.
"You act like we are over 30 years old and need to watch our diet. We are almost 18 Fitz we can have cheat days. Well..I'm almost 18 you are still a baby." She said with a smirk.
"I swear you and Jake are so delusional. Just because you are a few days older, eight to be exact, doesn't make me a baby."
"You will always be my baby though and there is nothing you can do about it." She turned and leaned against the counter at the pizzeria looking up at him seductively.
He smiled and bit his lip gripping the counter on each side of her body. "Oh yeah?" He said in a low voice, leaning in towards her and hovering right in front of her lips. She nodded her head yes and he licked his lips about to capture hers with his when they heard someone clear their throat.
"Ahem."
They both stood up straight and Olivia's face turned a deep red and she buried her face in Fitz' chest and he laughed a little bit. "Yeah..uhh can we get a large supreme pizza and two bottle waters?"
"Will that be all?" The young guy behind the counter asked.
"Did you want anything else?" Fitz asked as he rubbed her lower back.
"Nope."
Fitz paid for their lunch and they sat down at a nearby table. While they were waiting for their pizza felt it would be a good time to see if she would want to talk about what was bothering her earlier. He pulled his chair next hers and put his arm around her.
"Do you want to talk about earlier?" he asked as he lightly ran his fingers over her hand that was resting on the table.
"Not really. You don't have to worry about me Fitz..I'm ok, it really isn't a big deal."
Fitz didn't know how to feel, on one hand he felt like he should respect her not to want to talk about it no matter how big or small she felt it was. Then on the other hand he felt like she didn't trust him with her feelings and for whatever reason wasn't letting him in. He didn't like the way it was making him feel. Maybe with all of the drama he has had in his family she felt like she needs to protect herself from him? He wasn't sure so he shut down, he was quiet the rest of the meal and offered up answers when prompted but he couldn't get out of his funk.
"Hmm?" He said looking over to Olivia when he settled into his seat in the SUV.
"I said hold on before you start the car." She repeated.
"Why? Thinking about going back in?"
"No.." She reached over and ran her fingers through his curls. "You know your hair is getting pretty long."
"I know. You don't like it?" He closed his eyes, laid his head forward on the steering wheel as she massaged his scalp.
"I didn't say that but it could be trimmed a teeny tiny bit."
"Hmm..I'll think about it." He said turning his head to the side to look at her before saying, "As much as I know that you love my hair that isn't the reason why you had me not stop the car is it?"
"I trust you Fitz." Olivia blurted out.
"Where is that coming from?" He said sitting up.
"I felt you change babe. I saw how you retreated inside when I told you I didn't want to talk and I could tell you were thinking, are thinking, that I don't trust you enough to share things with you but that isn't it." She continued to play with his hair as she talked. It calmed her as much as it calmed him. "It's not that I don't trust you, I feel like the fact that I think my mother is a bitch sometimes and is suffocating me wouldn't seem important to you considering the things that you have to go through with your father." She said looking down and away from him.
"Liv.." He waited for her to look up and acknowledge him but she wouldn't. "Livvie, look at me." She did and he continued. "Come, here."
"What do you mean?"
"Come here." He grabbed her hand from his hair and pulled her into his lap. For the first time he was actually happy his dad tried to pacify him with a vehicle because this one had plenty of room to fit Olivia easily on his lap between him and the steering wheel. "I want you to listen to me and I mean really listen. Can you do that?"
"Yes." She answered as she played with the drawstring on his sweater.
"I don't care if your mom made you mad because she ate the last egg or she finished off the rest of the orange juice, if it affects you in any way I want to know. I want you to share these things with me so that you aren't keeping them bottled up inside and they eventually boil over. You need a outlet too and it is not a competition between us whose pain is worse than the other. Don't feel like you can't tell me something because I will think it's nothing compared to something I have been through. That will never be the case, Ok?"
"Ok, I will probably need you to remind me from time to time. I'm not used to having someone that actually cares about my feelings and won't use them against me in some way later on. Anyway..about earlier..me and my mom got into it about shoes and she talks to me like a damn child and it pisses me off so much. You know today was the first time I said something back to her, tried to stick up for myself but that didn't get me far." She said as she continued to fiddle with the string on his sweater.
"Hey," He lifted her chin with his index finger forcing her to look at him. "You have to start somewhere but be careful though, I don't want you have to spend the second half of your senior year grounded. Keep bringing it up until she takes your issues seriously. She needs to understand that you are your own person and the person she raised, very beautifully might I add, now it is time for her to let you fly. I can't tell you exactly what to do but at least you have the avenue to express your issues to your parents sensibly and you should try and use that to your advantage as much as you can."
Olivia lifted up and pulled Fitz towards her by the collar of his sweatshirt softly kissing his lips, she parted her lips slightly and on cue he slipped his tongue inside. The kiss was slow and deep, he moved his hand slowly up her back to the back of her neck pulling her further into him, he didn't need it all right then but he needed more. She moaned into his mouth and unconsciously grinded onto the growing bulge in his pants, she ran her hand down his chest towards the buckle of the jeans he was wearing when he grabbed her hand to stop it..
"Mmm..Liv.." He held her hand and pulled back. "We need to stop." Her face dropped and she pouted. "Don't give me that look, we are in the parking garage at the mall."
"So.." She said as she kissed his neck.
"Shit..no, no." He repeated hoping that him saying it out loud would convince his brain that is not what should be happening right now. "As much as I have always wanted to have sex in public I think for both of our sakes we should at least wait until I have had the chance to tint the windows." He laughed.
"I love you." She said as she kissed her way back up to his mouth. It was true, he thought of everything and he wasn't just there for sex or for his own comfort needs when he was down, he was there for her because he really cared. It was still new to her but it was becoming easier to accept. "Let's go." She pushed off of him and climbed over the middle console back into her seat.
"You aren't mad are you?" Fitz asked as he adjusted himself in his pants and started the car.
"Yes because I love you means I am mad." She laughed and playfully pushed his shoulder. "We are good Fitz, relax. We should go though because Abby text me and said she needed to talk to me."
"She did? What about?" He reached over resting his hand on her thigh.
"I'm not sure but she made it seem urgent. She used a couple of extra "e"s in the word need so she was obviously felt strongly about it."
Olivia contiued laughing while she broke down the text to him and he smiled enjoying her silly side. He dropped her off and drove home to get everything setup for the night.
Olivia hadn't been in her room for longer that two minutes before her phone started ring and she knew it was Abby by the ringtone.
"Are you watching me Abby? I literally just got home."
"You wish Liv! Get your ass over here so we can talk." Abby yelled half seriously into the phone.
"I'm coming, give me five minutes." Olivia said as she hung up.
Olivia walked downstairs to find her parents so that she could let them know that she was going to go over Abby's house for a few. She couldn't find them in any of the common areas and decided to check her fathers office. The door was closed but she could hear some type of muffled sound coming from behind the closed door, thinking they wouldn't mind a quick interruption she knocked and stuck her head inside.
"Excuse me-" Olivia stopped in her tracks and she immediately regretted not waiting for permission to enter. "Oh my God..I uhhh..I will be at Abby's if you need me." She said as she hurriedly left the office and tried to stop herself from clawing her eyes out and gagging simultaneously. Never in her life did she want to her father taking her mother on the desk in his office. That image would forever be burned into her brain. She was in such a state of shock that she didn't even realize that she had knocked on Abby's door.
"Hello, earth to Liv." Abby waved her hand in front of Olivia's face trying to get her attention. "Are you coming in or are you going to continue to stand there with that look on your face? What is that look on your face by the way?"
Olivia shook her head and walked into Abby's house as she said, "Trust me, you don't even want to know."
"One of those things huh?"
"You have no idea." Olivia said as she followed Abby to her to her room and sat down on the bean bag chair she had on the floor. "Anyway, what was it you needed to talk to about?"
"Do you want anything to drink or anything? I am going to get a water." Abby asked over her shoulder as she walked out.
"Yeah bring me a water too." Olivia yelled out.
Abby returned with the waters and threw one to Olivia and sat down on her bed. "You remember Harrison don't you?"
"Fitz' friend Harrison? Yeah I remember his rude ass. What about him?"
"Well I ran into him at the library, or he ran into me?" Abby thought out loud. "Either way he was at the library and he approached me asking if we were going to Fitz' party tonight."
"Party? Fitz isn't having a party tonight, he is having a guys thing with some guys from the team but no party. Maybe Harrison is confused." Olivia shrugged casually like it was no big deal.
"See Liv, that is where I think you are wrong. I don't think Harrison "accidentally" ran into me at the library. I believe he came there to tell me about this party and he even mentioned that you wouldn't even know the truth about it. I think he was telling the truth and we should go pop up and see what is going on." Abbys said seriously.
"Absolutely not, are you out of your mind?" Olivia arched her eyebrow in surprise at Abby's suggestion.
"You are telling me you aren't even a little curious as to why Fitz wouldn't tell you he was having a party? This whole thing smells foul."
"Abby just stop, I didn't come over here for this. Was that all that you wanted?"
"I'm going whether you come with me or not." Abby said standing up and going to her closet to find something to wear.
"Why? What does it matter to you if Fitz did lie?" Liv asked with obvious annoyance evident in her voice.
"It doesn't matter to me but you matter to me and if you won't go check up on it I will for you. I understand that you don't want to go over there and cause any problems in your relationship but right or wrong Fitz needs to know that Harrison is not is friend. You know how few people Fitz trusts do you really want him to continue to be friends with someone who would go behind his back? He doesn't deserve that."
Olivia leaned back on the chair put her arms over face and exhaled loudly. Abby was right, he deserved to know the truth but how would they go about it without looking like they were snooping?
"I can hear you thinking Olivia." Abby said turning and looking at her. "Don't worry about it so much. If we are wrong then we can say we were there to tell him about Harrison and if they are having a party over there after we go off we can still tell him about Harrison. It really is a win win situation."
"Ugh, Fine, Fine we can go." Olivia said finally giving in. "We need a better cover story that we were just in the neighborhood though."
"Hmm..you could just say that you missed him and wanted to see him before we went out. I want to see Jacob too so that can be my excuse too."
"If you don't stop calling that boy Jacob I am going slap you! Save that for when you two are alone." Olivia said rolling her eyes in disgust.
"Hey, I love the way it rolls off of my tongue it is sexy."
"I think I am going to be sick."
"You are so dramatic!" Abby said as she threw a pillow at Olivia's head but she ducked before it could hit her. "Alright fine I will say that I miss Jake and we can say that we were going to the lounge which will give us an excuse to wear something slutty." Abby smiled satisfied with her plan.
"I don't think we should say the lounge, do you remember what happened the last time we went there?"
"I remember us not being there more than a hour and you and Fitz leaving me and Jake hanging." She pulled out a short dark blue dress and held it up. "What about this? You can wear your black dress that is something similar with your black heels and clutch."
"Yeah well Fitz wasn't feeling it but since we are not really going there we can use it as an excuse. I like that dress on you. What time should we leave?"
"He mentioned it starting around seven so I am thinking we should leave here around seven thirty." Abby scratched her head and calculated the time to herself. "Yeah that will put us there around seven forty-five."
"Ok. Well," Olivia stood yawning and stretching her arms. "I'm heading home to get a nap in before this whole thing goes down. I will text you when I am outside."
"Bye, see you later!" Abby yelled after her.
Olivia waved her hand and continued down the stairs and out of Abby's house. She opened the door to her house quietly and tried to sneak up stairs without being seen by her parents, she wasn't ready to have that discussion with them just yet. Lucky for her they seemed to still be occupied elsewhere and she made it up the stairs safely. She took her shoes off placing them in their spot in the closet and climbed into bed drifting off to sleep.
"Sorry, my mom was trying to have a heart to heart with me at the exact moment you text me."
"Yeah sure whatever, I am so used to waiting on you that I barely even noticed. That dress is sexy Abbs and I love the curls. How did you know that I was going with curls too? I swear we are like the same person, which I am fine with by the way." Olivia said approvingly as she started to drive.
"Me? We both look hot as hell especially in these dresses. What are we going to do if this turns out to be a bust? I am not waisting this hair or this dress."
"Um. I didn't think that far that was your job remember?"
"Well..I say we go to the lounge..you know me and you.." Abby said nervously, hoping that Olivia would go with her.
"Abby.."
"Come on Liv, if they are having their fun we should be able to have some as well. Don't tell me you want to waste a good outfit like that on just a appearance?" She leaned back looking at Olivia waiting for her answer.
"Don't look at me like that.." Olivia said rolling her eyes. "Lets just get through this part of the night first. Ok?"
"Fine."
Olivia pulled up to the front of Fitz house and parked on the curb. She switched her shoes from flats to heels and smoothed out any wrinkles in her dress before they walked up to the house. She was starting to get butterflies in her stomach and she wasn't so sure that she wanted to go through with this plan anymore.
"There are quite a few cars here Liv."
"That doesn't mean anything. I'm not so sure about this anymore." She said stopping mid-stride and turing to face Abby. "Maybe we should just leave."
"Like I said, I am going with or without you." Abby called over her shoulder as she continued to walk pressing the doorbell when she reached the porch.
"Dammit Abbs!" Olivia called as she walked quickly to take her place next to Abby before the door opened.
"Olivia? What..what are you doing here?" He said as he stepped outside and closed the door behind him.
"Nice to see you too babe.." She said as she crossed her arms and pouted.
"I'm sorry Livvie, I am just surprised to see you." He turned to stand in-between them with his back to Abby and looked down at her.
"What?" She questioned shifting from one foot to the other, the way he was looking at her made her feel completely naked.
Fitz ignored her question as he inched closer and closer to her placing his hand on her lower back when she tries to take a step back. "What are you doing here Livvie?" He asked where only they could hear as he wrapped her in his arms. "Why are you wearing this dress? Who are you going to see in this?"
"Fitz.." She was the only thing that came to mind as he ran his hand up the back of her thigh stopping just short of her now very damp thong.
"Hmm?" He leaned back keeping his hand on her butt so he could see her face.
"Can you two stop it already?" Abby whined loudly causing them both to look at her. "Is Jacob here?"
"Who? Please tell me that you are not talking about Jake."
"Yes I am, what is wrong with Jacob." Abby asked crossing her arms in front of her.
"Nothing besides the fact that it makes me want to puke everywhere."
"That is exactly what I said!" Olivia yelled and they all started laughing.
"Seriously, what are you two doing here and why are you dressed up?" Fitz asked turning to Olivia.
"We were going to the Lounge but I missed you and I wanted to see you before I went there.."
Fitz immediately wanted to punch something but he decided to smile through gritted teeth instead. Why would she even consider going back to that place without him, wearing that dress and those heels, when she knew all of those guys would be all over her. He was going to invite them in anyway but now even if he didn't want to he would have just to keep her from going.
"I told you this was a no girls allowed affair but since you are here and wearing this." He pointed to her dress. "I can make an exception."
She smiled at Abby who nodded and gave her the 'I told you so' smirk as they followed Fitz inside. They followed him to the game room where they had a couple tables of poker set up and the guys were spread through out the room. She felt her stomach drop at the fact that it was only the team and no other girls were there. She knew she shouldn't have listened to Abby.
"See I told you it was just the guys." Fitz said as he grabbed her hand and led them to his table where Jake, Harrison, Huck and a couple other guys were sitting. "We have some guests tonight boys."
"Ughh what are they doing here?" Harrison leaned over and complained to Huck.
"What was that Harrison?" Fitz asked as he pulled a chair over for Olivia to sit-down before he took his seat.
"Huh? Nothing man." Harrison said looking around nervously.
"It was something..kind of sounded like a you were asking what they were doing here." Fitz said in a menacing tone. "Last I checked this was my house not yours."
"Fitz..relax." Olivia leaned over and whispered into his ear.
Fitz nodded and patted her leg before continuing, "Plus, they are here because you invited them here didn't you? Thinking that they would catch me in a bad spot and you thought you were being sneaky about it too didn't you? Don't look so surprised man I am smarter than you, I've been on to you this whole time, we all have, isn't that right Huck?"
A/N: A lot happening here. Olivia is learning to lean on Fitz a little bit more with her feelings. Should Olivia have gone over to Fitz' with Abby? Did you like Fitz and Huck setting Harrison up instead of trying to have a party to confront Mellie? Hers is coming too don't worry. Let me know what you are thinking. Thanks for reading!
