Chapter 23: It's Not That Easy

Olivia circled her tongue around the tip of his hardness sending a shudder through Fitz's body before taking him into her mouth.

"Shit." Fitz said throwing his head back against the seat as Olivia wasted no time pumping him in and out of her mouth. One hand held onto his hardened length while the other massaged his balls.

Oh god! Her hand on my balls! Her tongue is simply Ama-

Olivia licked and sucked on Fitz's hardness with all she had.

Fitz grabbed and held onto her hair. He watched her take him in and out till his head fell back against the seat again.

"Liv...I'm about to let go!"

She slid her mouth off of him and pumped him hard with one hand while the other squeezed his balls.

"LIV!" Fitz called out as he came.

Hell If I was standing up I think my knees would've buckled.

Olivia looked up at him.

I'm guessing that was pretty good...he did call out my name.

She watched as he slowly opened his eyes to look at her.

"Damn Liv."

Olivia suddenly felt unsure of herself.

"Was it ok? I, um, never done that before..."

"Are you kidding me?" He asked.

Olivia shook her head no.

This woman surprises me all the time.

"That was amazing!" He told her with a smile.

Fitz looked down at himself.

Wow!

"I think I have some tissues around here somewhere."

Olivia felt around on the floor. "I think I found them."

"Liv."

"Yeah?"

"I want you to know that being with you is special enough. As much as I enjoyed this and I mean really enjoyed this,I don't want you to feel you have to do it." He told her as they cleaned up. "I know not all women-"

Before he could finish Olivia cut in.

"I wanted to. I was feeling a certain way and wanted to try something new."

"Feeling a certain way?" He questioned with a grin.

Olivia smiled shyly.

"Honestly you bring out something in me that no other man has and I'm not always sure how to control it."

I feel so inexperienced. It's like I'm going through puberty and dealing with all these new emotions and physical reactions. It's exciting but I feel like it's putting me in a vulnerable position.

"I'm experiencing the same thing. Liv, you're not alone. If you were we wouldn't be going at the pace we're going."

"You think we're moving to fast?" She asked with concern.

We are. I know we are. We've only known each other a few weeks and we're not even sure what we're doing. What do you call this? It's more than an affair, but that's all I know.

Fitz took a deep breath.

"I don't know. I do know that I don't regret anything I've done."

Maybe I should but I don't. I do wish I would've been single when I first met her. If I had been honest with myself earlier on I would be a single dad who's able to date freely.

"OH!" Fitz suddenly said.

Date! A date! Maybe we can go on a date this weekend. Mellie's going away. So maybe!

"With that smile on your face I guess you don't regret anything." He heard her say with a laugh.

"Why? Do you have any regrets?"

Olivia put her right pointer finger on her chin and was silent for several seconds before looking at him.

"Well, I do have one..."

What the hell? What does she regret? I know I asked the question but I didn't think there would actually be a regret. Several times I worried that she regretted some things that happened between us but she's always assured me that she hasn't.

"...I regret not wearing a skirt to the costume shop. It could've saved us some time in that dressing room."

Olivia fought hard to keep a serious face.

The panicked look on his face almost caused me to break out in laughter. I couldn't help teasing him. It's too much fun to-

"Ah!" Olivia let out in surprise when she felt Fitz grab her underneath her chin with one hand and pulled her face close to his.

"Woman you really need to stop messing with me!" He told her.

She smiled as much as could, looked him directly the eyes, and smartly asked "Why?"

Fitz grinned.

Uh Oh... She thought as he pushed her back against the car door, pulled her legs onto his lap, and kissed her hard.

Olivia wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her mouth to him.

Mmmm...

She settled back as their kissing became soft and playful. His arms wrapped around her waist with his hands running up and down her sides as her fingers lazily grazed through his hair.

God I wanna spend all of my time with her. It's only been weeks but damn I'm falling hard for her. I think I already have. Shit, I think I'm in-

"Fitz..." Olivia said breathlessly

Fitz reluctantly opened eyes and pulled away.

"You have to get back home." She said quietly.

Fitz looked at the clock on his dashboard.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

Things certainly have to change. Always having to part from her like this is the worst.

Olivia gave Fitz one last kiss on the lips before opening the car door.

"Hey." He said as he reached out and rubbed her arm. "Don't make any plans for this weekend. At least not for Saturday."

"What's happening on Saturday?" She asked.

"Not sure yet but I'll let you know soon. Ok?"

"Ok." Olivia said before getting out of the car.

"Goodnight Liv." Fitz said with a smile.

"Goodnight."

Fitz was busy making pancakes when Mellie appeared beside him.

"I know you've been counting down the days Fitzgerald but remember I leave Friday afternoon for my conference."

"Whoa! I actually forgot!" He said with a smile.

"Ha Ha. Very funny. Anyway, I'll see you and Jerry Friday morning before you leave and then unless something happens I won't be back until Sunday evening."

I have to try to contain my excitement around her but it's going to be a struggle because I just want to jump around, cheer from the rooftop, and have a couple root beers with Jerry. All in celebration of saying 'Adios' to Mellie for the weekend.

"Mom, you're leaving this weekend?" Jerry asked.

"I am, but don't worry it's not for long." Mellie told him.

Jerry furrowed his eyebrows. "Oh I'm not worried. I wanted to make sure this was the weekend I could turn the living room into a ninja cave!" He said before doing a few kicks in Mellie's direction.

"Stop it Jerry! You know I don't like that."

Jerry smiled. "That's why you going away this weekend's going to be super cool! NINJA CAVE!"

"Go get your backpack together so you can come have breakfast." Fitz told Jerry before Mellie could say anything.

"Um, anything else I need to know about this weekend?" He asked nicely.

"I'll call, well most likely text you when I get there because I know you won't be able to rest until you know I've made it there safely."

"Of course." Fitz said.

Mellie started to leave the kitchen when she suddenly turned around and said, "Wipe that damn smile off your face."

She better get used to it because I'm going to basically be smiling from now through Sunday evening.

I think I have a plan for Liv and I to have our first date together though it's going to be a date for three. I'm sure she'll be ok or at least understand that I'll have Jerry with me. Plus it'll work out in case anyone we know sees us. It's going to be a pretty pathetic first date but it'll be one.

"Did you enjoy what little bit of the party you saw on Saturday?" Harrison asked Olivia when she sat down next to him in the teacher's lounge.

I can tell he's not pleased that I didn't stay too long.

"Where's Abby?" She asked while looking around in an attempt to change where the discussion was heading.

"Today is her later lunch remember?"

"Oh yeah. Well-"

Harrison cut her off. "Did you enjoy the party? The little bit that you experienced."

"Hey I was there and I did enjoy myself." She told him adding a smile.

Harrison shook his head and gave her a look of disbelief.

"I was there for a while." She said defensively. "Ugh! I saw Quinn get mummified!"

Harrison let out a laugh. "That was great!" Then he got serious again. "Too bad that happened not too long after you there..."

Olivia rolled her eyes. "Listen dad, I know Abby probably alerted you as soon as she received my text and I'm pretty sure with your 'Criminal Minds' observation skills you noticed who else went missing from the party."

"I simply want to remind you to be careful and look out for yourself. Love can make you do and put up with some stupid shit."

"Maybe you should save that advice for someone 'in love'. I've never mentioned anything close to that. You and Abby like to just toss that word out when you're around me for some reason." She said with a hint of frustration. "Can we talk about something else?"

Harrison gave her a small smile. "Alright," He said with a sigh, "Let's talk about that last episode of Criminal Minds."

I can't complain. As long as were not talking about Fitz and I I'm good.

I wonder what's going on this Saturday that has Fitz wanting me to not make any plans? I mean if there is something how is he going to get away from Mellie? I don't want to be in another situation where I run into her again. Such a bitch!

"So...?"

"So what?"

"Come on Fitz! Is there anything new going on in your life?" Cyrus asked as he closed Fitz's office door behind him.

"Like what Cy? I just talked to you yesterday. What could have possibly changed between then and now?"

"Did you talk to Mellie?"

Fitz frowned. "No. There's nothing to say right now. I can't simply tell her what's been going on and have no idea what to do next."

"Fitz, just ask me any questions you have. I've been divorced twice. I know how everything works."

"And I was there for you through both of them and if I remember correctly you had to have a period of separation before you could be granted a divorce." Fitz said.

"So you file and then either you move out or Mellie moves out." Cyrus told him. "I know it's not easy Fitz but it's also not that hard of a process to at least start."

It doesn't feel easy at all. Where does Jerry go? I could not imagine Mellie taking care of Jerry on her own for more than a day. So if I move out I want to take Jerry with me but knowing how vindictive Mellie is I know she's not going to make it easy. I can't fuck up Jerry's life with no plan of what to do.

"Get a damn lawyer Fitz!" Cyrus said clearly annoyed. "You're driving me nuts."

"I'm driving you nuts?" Fitz let out a sarcastic laugh. "I just told you what was going on yesterday and your trying to tell me how to handle everything like you're running a damn campaign."

"I told you yesterday why I'm excited about this. Sorry if I'm over enthusiastic but I know you Fitz and you need me to stay on your ass and isn't that what a best friend does. If a friend doesn't then they suck at their job." Cyrus opened the door. "Now if you'll excuse me I have some janitor closets to check. We really need to put locks on those doors. I mean these kids are a bunch of horny rabbits!"

When the door closed Fitz leaned back in his chair and put his feet up on the corner of his desk.

This weekend will be a good time to talk to Jerry about some things. He's a smart kid and I know he's aware of the dysfunction of his parents' relationship. I'm not sure though if he views it as a problem and would understand a divorce or if he's simply gotten used to it.

Fitz let his head rest on the back of the chair and his eyes close.

I'll definitely talk to Jerry this weekend. And it's possible that depending on how he feels I might be looking for a new place for us to live.
