Chapter 16 Strong Like

Fitz felt himself pressed up against a wall. He could hear the slow unzipping of his coat.

Is this really happening or am I imagining this?

"Take off your coat." He heard her say.

As he removed his coat he looked down into Olivia's eyes.

I've never seen this look in her eyes before. I can't explain it. Desire mixed with determination? Maybe. All I know is that I'm feeling kind of scared AND excited.

"No need to be afraid. This shouldn't hurt."

Somehow I don't believe that.


Olivia gently caressed his face with her hands. She looked him over in the mirror to the right of her.

So damn sexy. I need to have him. Olivia thought before forcefully pulling his face down to hers and capturing his lips. She ran her tongue teasingly across his lips till he opened his mouth to her.

Goodbye gentleness. He's going to know exactly what I want.

Their tongues battled as if each were trying to force the other into submission.

Olivia grabbed the bottom of Fitz's shirt and pulled it upwards.

Where are we going with this because I only have so much control. Fitz thought as he hurriedly helped Olivia take off his shirt.

"Ugh! Two shirts! Take it off!" She demanded.


Fitz practically ripped the second shirt in an effort to remove it as quickly as possible. He couldn't help the moan that escaped at just the feel of her nails scraping down his chest. The flick of her tongue over his left nipple was almost too much.

She kissed him across his chest to his right nipple as her left hand made its way to the bulge in his pants.

"I can do a lot with this." She said with a lick of his nipple.

Enough!

"That's it." He told her as reached down, grabbed her shirt, and forcefully took it off. He eagerly unhooked her bra from the back. He put Olivia's arms down and helped the bra along as it slid down her arms till it hit the floor.

He pushed her back slightly.

God she takes my breath away.


Olivia stood frozen as she watched Fitz look her over.

What's he thinking? Is there something wrong? Olivia started to bring her arms up to cover herself when he stopped her.

"Look at me." He said. When she did he told her, "Everything about you is beautiful. Don't ever feel like you have to hide yourself away from me."

I can't believe this man. Is he real?

She rushed back to him, pulled his face back to hers, and kissed him as hard as she could.

Oh he's definitely real.

The feel of his bare chest against mine is so-

Olivia gasped when she felt Fitz lift her up. She wrapped her legs tightly around his waist as he pressed her hard up against the opposite wall.

He moaned when she grinded her hips against him.

Even through our pants I can feel him. God how I want him!

Fitz sucked her left nipple into his mouth.

"Mmmm" was all Olivia could say.

I don't know how much more I can take!

When Fitz took her right nipple in his mouth she looked in the mirror so she could watch him suck and flick his tongue over it.

"Damnit Fitz!" Olivia said when he bit down on her nipple.

"Sshhh Ms. Pope we can't make too much noise."

"Ouch!" He said when he felt her smack him on the back.

"Don't mock me." She told him.

In return he smacked her hard on the ass.

"Ooh I love it!" She whispered close to his ear as she rubbed even more so against him.


This woman is really going to be the end of me.

The pressure in my pants is becoming unbearable. And her grinding against me is not helping. I don't want to let her go but I have to have some relief.


Olivia groaned when he slowly put her down.

What the hell?

"Sorry Liv but I got to do something about my pants situation."

She looked down at the huge bulge in his pants.

I definitely see the dilemma.

"Here let me help you with that." Olivia said before she wasted no time undoing the button and zipper.

"Anticipating something?" He asked with a grin on his face.

"Maybe." She answered with a smile.

Fitz took over and slowly slid his pants down.

Blue boxer briefs. A fav-

Her eyes went wide when he stood up.

Damn! Olivia thought as she looked at the bulge in his briefs.

I need those briefs to come off now! Olivia tried to reach for the top of his briefs but her hands were gripped tightly by Fitz's.

"Well Ms. Pope..."

"Well what?"

"Your turn." He said with a michevious grin. "Pants off."

Olivia smiled at him seductively as she undid the button of her jeans.

"I really wish you would've worn a skirt today..." He told her.

"I'll remember that the next time we both happen to be costume shopping."


Olivia slowly unzipped her jeans.

Speed it up! Fitz wanted to say but stopped himself.

Damn she's torturing me with this pace.

She smiled as if reading his mind.

"Hol-" Olivia Froze when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"I just wanted to say to anyone who might be interested that um I saw a very unhappy looking woman with a young boy heading this way from, I believe, the arcade."

"SHIT!" Olivia and Fitz said at the same time.

Fitz scrambled to pull his pants back up.

Olivia grabbed his shirts.

"I'll stay in here" She said. "Tell Abby to let me know when you guys leave and tell her to not be seen so you can tell," I don't even want to say her name, "that person that we left."

Fitz nodded his head as he hurriedly put his shirts back on and grabbed his coat.

Damn! Damn! Damn! He thought as he opened the door.

Fitz looked over his shoulder at Olivia and went back to her.

The disappointment on her face is a mirror of mine.

He kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Tomorrow...Park?"

She nodded.

Fitz reluctantly left.


Olivia quickly got dressed before taking a seat on the small bench in the dressing room.

Shit. Why do I feel like crying? Ugh. I know why and that's what makes whatever this thing is between Fitz and I so fucking messed up. Is her showing up when she did some kind of sign? I usually don't believe in that kind of thing but it's just...I don't know.

"Hey Abby," Fitz whispered as he exited the dressing room area, "Olivia said to let her know when I leave but don't let Mellie see you. If she suspects anything I'm going to tell her that you and Olivia left."

"Ok..." She said with a sigh.

Abby sounds unsure. Probably wishes she wasn't involved in the situation.

"Thanks for the warning Abby." He said with a weak smile.

God I hope Olivia's ok back there. I hate to leave like this. I should've said we need to stop once we got passed the kissing stage but I couldn't. I didn't want to but if I would've known it was going to end like this...

Fitz shook his head as he grabbed the costume he had already picked out and the costume Jerry wanted and quickly headed to the register.

"Dad, I thought you said you wouldn't be long?" He heard Jerry say from behind him.

"Sorry kiddo, it was a little tougher for me to pick out a costume than I thought."

I need to keep my coat in front of me. No one needs to get a peek of my lower half.

Fitz put the costumes on the counter with one hand.

"Did you find everything ok?" The lady asked.

"Yes. Thank you."

"Where's Olivia?" Jerry asked.

"Yes, where Olivia? Is she the reason you had such a tough time finding a costume?" Mellie asked.

"She left not too long after you guys did." Fitz told her as he pulled his wallet out and managed to slide the credit card out with one hand.

"Here ya go." He told the lady at the counter.

I need to get out of here and make a quick trip to the bathroom, gather myself, and then leave this place altogether.


"Olivia where are you?"

"Back here." She answered tiredly. She opened the dressing room door for Abby before returning to the seat on the bench.

"Are you ok?" Abby asked.

"I guess."

Abby leaned up against the door. "I hate to agree with Harrison on this because I was really excited for you but maybe this isn't such a good thing."

"Don't you think I know that Abby! Don't you think I went over things in my head? Am I in denial about some things? Probably. But I really don't give a shit right now!" Olivia said angrily.

"Olivia," Abby said patiently, "if you truly didn't 'give a shit' you wouldn't be so upset right now."

Tears started to run down Olivia's cheek. She angrily wiped them away.

"What's wrong with me? I never thought I'd be dealing with something like this."

"Who does?" Abby said as she squatted in front of Olivia. "There's nothing wrong with you. I know it sounds cheesy but we can't help the people we fall in love with."

People we fall in love with?

Olivia's eyes went wide. "I'm not 'in love' with anyone! I'm not even dating anyone! Who falls in love in a matter of weeks in which they've barely seen the other person? In which they barely know the other person. Do I like him? Yes. But love that's in a whole other category of things I don't even need to be thinking about right now. I'm not in love!"

"Ok! Ok! Ok! Calm down." Abby said with a light laugh. "I take it back though the statement by itself is true. You just don't want me to apply it to your situation."

"It wouldn't make sense to do so."

"Would you admit it to me if you were in love with him?"

"I, um, well sure."

I don't want to talk about this anymore. I mean Abby's way off on her thinking. .

Isn't she?

Olivia gathered her stuff together.

"Let's finish costume shopping." Olivia said as she followed Abby out of the dressing room.

"Anyways, who wants their first time with someone to be in the dressing room of a costume shop?"

"Shut up Abby!" Olivia said with a hint of a smile.


"About time!" Mellie said when Fitz came out of the bathroom.

It's time for Mellie and I to go our separate ways for the day.

"We'll see you later Mellie. Enjoy your shopping. Thanks for your unnecessary unhelpful help."

"Where are the two of you going?"

"Dad can we go to the arcade?"

"You were just there." Fitz said with a look of confusion.

"Yeah, but mom sucked at air hockey and that's my favorite game. I need some competition!"

Fitz laughed.

"Maybe if he didn't keep hitting that da- that darn thing into my hand I would've played better." Mellie said annoyed.

"I kept trying to tell you that you weren't holding the thing right that's why the puck kept hitting you. Mom you're really stubborn sometimes." Jerry complained.

Fitz fought hard to not laugh again.

By the look on Mellie's face she's about ready to explode!

There's no denying Jerry is my son. Fitz thought with a smile.

"Whatever! The two of you have a great time. I'm used to being left out. This is exactly how you want it isn't Fitz? Well that's ok because I take pleasure in knowing that there's at least one thing in this world that you can't have." Mellie said with a laugh.

Jerry frowned up at his dad. "What can't you have?" He asked.

Olivia.


I'm finally home!

If I would've known how today was going to be I would not have taken one step outside my door. Hell I might not have even got out of bed.

Bed. That's where I'm heading!

Olivia put all of her things away, put on her pajamas, and climbed into bed.

Maybe I should set my alarm. I don't want to nap too long or I won't get any sleep tonight.

Friday was rough. Today was rougher. I'm scared of what tomorrow will be.

Olivia let out a deep sigh as she rested on her back.

Today really sucked. I don't know what I was thinking by pulling him into that dressing room. I'm acting so unlike myself. I've had sex in some odd, it's against the law places before but this would've been different.

Different from any other relationship I've been in.

I was in love with my last boyfriend. I could've sworn I was. Yet I didn't feel as strongly about him as I do about Fitz.

"We can't help the people we fall in love with."

Sometimes Abby says some crazy shit.

Olivia thought as she turned onto her side.

I'm not in love. I'm just in strong like. Yeah, that sounds right. In strong like.

I like Fitzgerald Grant.

Strongly like Fitzgerald Grant.

Olivia yawned.

Strongly...like...Fitzgerald...Grant.

Olivia let out one more yawn and fell asleep.
