Heyyy it's been awhile, I'm truly sorry. I'm trying to update on a regular, i'll get better.
I pull up to Destiney's school just as the kids are let out. I spot Destiney holding hands with Tom while talking to some little boy. I get out my car and as soon as Tom sees me he begins to speak into his earpiece. Destiney walks past me and gets in the car, I frown at her actions.
"Will you be making any stops before going home?" Tom asked.
"George Washington University hospital." I answer getting in the car. He nods, speaks in his earpiece, and gets in the passenger seat.
"How was school today?"
"Good." Destiney replies.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"My back and my side hurts." Destiney says.
"Do you want to cancel dinner with Fitz?"
"It doesn't hurt that bad."
I pull up to the hospital and we all get out.
"Follow me. Her room is ready and the doctor is waiting." Tom says then speaks into his earpiece again. 45 minutes later we are home, I go up to my room and dress comfortably then take a nap. Two and a half hours later I wake up, the first thing I do is grab my phone. 6:47. I jump up and go downstairs. I follow Destiney's voice to the kitchen. Tom was making her a smoothie.
"Look mommy Tom is making me a smoothie." Destiney said grabbing a cup for him to pour it in.
"Thank you, Tom." He nods. "We have to get ready." Destiney put her smoothie in the fridge and followed me to her bathroom. While Destiney showers, I take out her Polka Dot Denim dress and her Tommy Hilfiger Madina Bow sandals. 20 minutes later Destiney was dressed and sitting on the couch with Tom watching Frozen . I quickly showered and washed my hair. I put on my black with white polka dots bra and panty set. I quickly find something nice to wear. 10 minutes later I was dressed in a Pink Thalia Sodi Lattace-Detail High-Low dress with White Crochet Platform Wedge sandals. My hair was still damp but it could air dry. I added a little lip gloss and put on a pair of diamond stud earrings. I quickly rushed to Destiney's room grabbing a headband off her dresser and her coat on my way out forgetting to grab mine. I lock the door and walk up to Destiney handing her coat to her and putting the headband on her head pushing her curls out her face.
I was so anxious to see Fitz again. I was getting nervous as I got closer to the residence.
"Mommy, do you smell that?" Destiney asked sniffing the air.
"Yes, I do." I answer her.
Tom, do you smell that?" Destiney asked taking his hand again.
"Yes, I do. Smells great." Tom responded. Destiney nodded in agreement, the door leading to Fitz's living room was wide open. Fitz walked in with his mom following right behind him, they met us halfway.
"Hi." Fitz says pulling her into a hug.
"Hi." I hugged him back. When we pulled apart he grabbed my hand. "Hi, ."
"Oh, Olivia I haven't been in years besides we're past last names. Call me Catherine. You two look beautiful." Catherine picked up Destiney.
"Come on." Fitz takes my hand and pulls me to the dining room before I could respond. In the dining room there is a black table for 10 everything else is white there is a door leading to the kitchen probably. Fitz pulled out my chair
"Thank you." I said kindly. Fitz quickly did the same for Destiney. There was 2 pink roses one wear Destiney sat and one where his mother seated. In front of me however was a purple rose.
"Do you know the meaning of a purple rose?" I asked. I was always fascinated with roses so I studied them and him giving me a purple rose is like saying he's in love with me.
"Do you?" He asked. I stared and he stared back at me. I couldn't tell if he knew or not. A man came out and placed a chicken salad in front of everyone. He then came out with a variety of dressings and a bottle of hot sauce. Catherine grabbed the thousand island dressing and Destiney began picking the chicken out the salad. I noticed her chair seemed higher then everyone else's. I looked in Fitz direction and he was practically emptying the whole the whole bottle of hot sauce into his salad.
"Don't you think that's enough?" I asked. He looked at then the salad,
"Just a little more." He poured more then sat the bottle down. My eyes were went wide
"Fitz, that's half the bottle." He just shrugged I used the thousand island dreusing and began to eat my salad.
"How was school?" Fitz asked eating his salad that seem to be swimming in hot sauce.
"Well, I met a boy he's new his name is Johnny. He's so nice." Destiney said smiling and picking the last piece of chicken out her salad. Destiney only eats the meat in her salad then she leaves the lettuce just like her father.
"Oh really. Well he better keep his pants on." Fitz says.
"They're only 6 Fitz. They don't know anything about that stuff." I said.
"Why would he take his pants off?" Destiney asked confused.
I shot Fitz a look. Catherine answered her question "Fitz was just being goofy. When Fitz was little he liked to take his clothes off when he got too hot."
Destiney burst into laughter, "Hey no laughing at me. What about the rest of your day?"
Well, I met this girl too. She doesn't have a mommy or daddy just persons who pretend but they're really mean. I'm her only friend. Can I have a play date with her tomorrow?" The chef collected the dishes then placed a boneless chicken breast with broccoli and cheese on the side. Catherine pored the small cup of cheese over Destiney's broccoli. "Well can I?" Destiney asked again.
"I have to work late, tomorrow." I said going over my schedule in my head.
"I can watch them. I can pick Destiney up from school. They'll go with me to a school but after that the rest of day is clear. You can join us when you're done." Fitz spoke up.
"You don't have to. You have things to do tomorrow." I say grabbing the hot sauce before he could.
"I want to. I have time, I'm really not busy." Fitz is so sweet.
"Media will go crazy seeing Destiney and her friend help him give ice cream to kids, it'll help help before it ever hurt him and it gives them time to bond." Catherine chimed in.
"Pleassse?" Destiney asks.
"Fine. Her school ends at 2:45. The girl will have to get permission first, when I'm done I'll come and join." I said.
Fitz nodded "Can I have my hot sauce back?"
"No I'll pour it for you." I got up and sprinkled hot sauce all over his chicken "There." I said proud of myself. Fitz just frowned,
"Olivia, where's the hot sauce?"
"Fitz it's not healthy to put so much hot sauce on your food. You need to cut down on it." Fitz sighed and ate his chicken. We fell into a comfortable silence. The chef took our plates and brought out ice cream and cake. Destiney eyes lit up, we quickly ate our cake and ice cream. Fitz took us to the living room, on the couch there was two blankets. Fitz put a movie in the DVD player and sat next to me. He handed his mother a blanket which she put over her and Destiney. Fitz did the same with me, he put his arm around me and I relaxed against him as the movie started.
"Frozen!" Destiney exclaimed. Fitz held my hand loosely under the blanket, I squeezed his hand and smiled to myself. Destiney stayed up long enough to see Elsa run away and Anna, Olaf, and the others find her ice castle. Once the movie was over, I got ready to go. I really didn't want to leave.
"I'll walk you out." Fitz whispered picking Destiney up, I put the cover back over his sleeping mother. Tom approached us,
"I'll take her for you." Fitz looked at me for my approval and I nodded. Fitz handed Destiney over to Tom and then put his arm around my shoulder, I wrapped my arm around his waist. When we got to the motorcade that would b taking me and Destiney home he kissed my forehead.
'God! I wanted that kiss to be on my lips.'
"I wanted the dinner to be as casual as possible, I hope I succeeded."
"It was wonderful." I said smiling.
"Here." He handed me the purple and pink roses that were at the dinner table.
"Thank you." I missed his cheek and got into the motorcade and waited for Tom to hand me Destiney.
There will probably be a time jump in the next chapter.
