Hi everyone, this was really supposed to be a one shot but I did have some people ask if I could turn this into a story. I will try my best but there is no telling so for now, here is another chapter of hothead liv enjoy.
Olivia groaned as her phone rang loudly, jolting her out of a deep sleep. Without bothering to check the caller ID, she angrily grabbed her phone and answered with a curt, "What the hell do you want?"
Fitz's voice came through the other end of the line, undeterred by Olivia's less-than-enthusiastic greeting. "Good afternoon , Olivia. Or should I say, good morning? I hope I didn't wake you up."
Olivia's eyes widened as she realized who was on the other end of the line. She quickly sat up in bed, her irritation fading as she remembered their conversation from the previous day.
"Fitz? I... I'm sorry for answering like that. I didn't realize it was you," Olivia stammered, her voice filled with genuine remorse.
Fitz chuckled on the other end of the line. "That's not a nice way to answer the phone, now is it?"
Olivia felt a blush creep up her cheeks as she realized her mistake. "No, it's not. I apologize, Fitz. I didn't mean to be rude. I just don't like being woken up from my sleep."
Fitz's voice softened. "I understand, Olivia. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I just wanted to call and thank you again for helping me with my hand earlier. I really appreciate it."
Olivia's irritation melted away completely as she remembered the incident. "Oh, right. Your hand. How is it feeling?"
Fitz sighed. "It's still a bit sore, but the stitches are holding up. I just wanted to let you know that I'm grateful for your help."
Olivia couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at Fitz's gratitude. She had always been independent and self-reliant, but it felt good to be appreciated.
"I'm glad I could help," Olivia replied, her voice sincere. "And I'm sorry again for my initial response. It was uncalled for."
"Its alright, I hope you have a good day Olivia, I have to study for an exam I will talk to you later"
"Alright, Bye Fitz" she says hanging up
Brie, raised an eyebrow from her own bed, having overheard the conversation. She had never heard Olivia apologize before, let alone blush while doing so.
With a mischievous smile, Brie climbed onto Olivia's bed and cuddled up next to her. "So, who's the guy you were on the phone with? He must be special if you're apologizing."
Olivia rolled her eyes at Brie's teasing. "It's just Fitz, a guy from biology . He injured his hand, and I helped him out."
Brie's smile widened. "Just Fitz, huh? Well, he must be more than just a classmate if he's got you blushing and apologizing. Spill the details, Liv."
Olivia sighed, knowing she wouldn't be able to escape Brie's curiosity. "We've been talking more lately, and I guess we're becoming friends. But that's all it is, Brie. Just friends."
Brie raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in her eyes. "Uh-huh, just friends. Well, Liv, I'm here to support you no matter what. Just remember, friends can sometimes turn into something more."
Olivia couldn't help but roll her eyes at her roommate's words. Brie always had a way of seeing through her defenses and pushing her to take chances.
Olivia groaned as she reluctantly dragged herself out of bed. She knew she was spending time with Brie and her sister, Alexandra, at her dorm room, and she couldn't afford to be late. As she got dressed, her mind was still reeling from the conversation with Fitz. She couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness about their growing connection.
Just as Olivia was about to finish dressing , she heard a knock on the door. She sighed, knowing it was probably Alexandra, who had a habit of showing up unannounced. She opened the door to find Brie standing there, a mischievous smile on her face.
"Hey, Liv! Your sister is here," Brie said, stepping aside to reveal Alexandra standing behind her.
Olivia rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile at the sight of her sister. "Of course she is. Come on in, Alex."
Alexandra walked into the room, giving Brie a playful glare. "You let me in without asking, Brie? You know the rules."
Brie shrugged, unfazed by Alexandra's glare. "I figured you'd want to see her. Besides, it's not you are a stranger."
Olivia chuckled as she closed the door behind them. "Alright, alright. Let's not argue. Alex, come here."
Alexandra walked over to Olivia's bed and climbed in, wrapping her arms around her sister in a tight hug. Olivia rolled her eyes, but couldn't hide the smile on her face as she hugged her sister back.
"You know, Alex, you should offer a person a meal first before harassing them with hugs," Olivia teased.
Alexandra laughed, squeezing Olivia a little tighter. "Well, I'm sorry for not following proper hug etiquette. I'll make it up to you with a meal later."
Olivia sighed dramatically. "Fine, I guess I can forgive you. But only if it's something delicious."
Brie chimed in from the side. "I vote for pizza!"
Olivia and Alexandra exchanged a knowing look before bursting into laughter. The three of them spent the rest of the afternoon chatting and joking, their bond as sisters growing stronger with each passing moment.
Olivia, Brie, and Alexandra walked together towards Alexandra's dorm room, their laughter filling the air. Olivia couldn't help but throw out witty comments and jokes, making her friends burst into fits of laughter.
"So, Liv, have you come up with any new conspiracy theories lately?" Brie asked, a mischievous smile on her face.
Olivia grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, you know me, always uncovering the hidden truths. Just wait until I reveal the secret behind the cafeteria's mystery meat."
They all burst into laughter, their voices echoing through the hallways. As they continued their walk, Olivia's mind was still filled with thoughts of Fitz and their growing connection. But for now, she was determined to enjoy the company of her friends and forget about her troubles.
Suddenly, Olivia felt a sharp bump against her shoulder, causing her to stumble slightly. She looked up to see a familiar face – Chastity, Mark's ex-girlfriend. Her heart sank as she realized that Mark was not too far behind, wearing a smug grin on his face.
Before Olivia could react, her sister Alexandra grabbed her arm, holding her back. Olivia struggled against Alexandra's grip, desperately wanting to confront Chastity and Mark. Her anger boiled inside her, threatening to explode.
"Let me go, Alex!" Olivia shouted, her voice filled with pure rage. She tried to push Alexandra away, but her sister's strength was overpowering. Olivia's petite frame was no match for Alexandra's muscular build.
Alexandra, knowing Olivia's anger issues all too well, stood firm in front of the door, blocking any escape. She looked into Olivia's eyes, her own filled with understanding and concern.
"Olivia, calm down," Alexandra said firmly, her voice steady. "I know you're angry, but lashing out won't solve anything. Let's go to my room and talk about it."
Olivia continued to struggle, her frustration mounting. Tears of anger and hurt welled up in her eyes as she screamed in pure frustration. But Alexandra remained resolute, refusing to let Olivia's anger consume her.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Alexandra managed to guide Olivia into her room and sat her down on the bed. She stood in front of the door, acting as a barrier between Olivia and the outside world.
"Take deep breaths, Olivia," Alexandra instructed, her voice soothing. "I know it's hard, but you need to calm down. Let's talk it out."
Olivia took a few deep breaths, trying to regain control of her emotions. She looked up at Alexandra, her anger slowly subsiding, replaced by a mix of exhaustion and vulnerability.
"Why does he have to be such a jerk, Alex?" Olivia asked, her voice trembling. "I trusted him, and he betrayed me."
Alexandra sat down next to Olivia, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "I know, Liv. It hurts, and it's not fair. But you're stronger than this. You don't need someone like Mark in your life."
Olivia leaned into her sister's embrace, finding solace in her words. She knew Alexandra was right – she deserved better than someone who would cheat on her.
"I just... I don't understand why he did it," Olivia whispered, her voice filled with sadness.
Alexandra sighed, her grip on Olivia tightening. "Sometimes, people make mistakes, Liv. It's not a reflection of who you are. You deserve someone who will treat you with respect and loyalty."
Olivia nodded, wiping away her tears. She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of calm wash over her. With Alexandra by her side, she knew she could get through this.
"Thank you, Alex," Olivia said, her voice filled with gratitude. "I don't know what I would do without you."
Alexandra smiled, giving Olivia a reassuring squeeze. "You don't have to thank me, Liv. I'll always be here for you. We'll get through this together."
As Olivia sat there, finding comfort in her sister's embrace, Brie, always the ray of sunshine, pulled out a bag from her backpack. With a mischievous smile, she exclaimed, "Girls, since no one felt like going out, I thought we could have our own mini spa day!"
Olivia's eyes widened in surprise as Brie started pulling out nail polish bottles and face masks from the bag. "Brie, you're a genius!" she exclaimed, a small smile forming on her lips.
Alexandra chuckled, shaking her head. "Only you, Brie, would have a full spa kit in your backpack. I guess it's a good thing we didn't go out after all."
The three friends gathered around, laughing and chatting as they painted their nails and applied face masks. Olivia's phone buzzed, indicating a new message. She glanced at the screen to see a text from Fitz.
"How's your day going so far?" the message read.
Olivia smirked, her fingers tapping on the screen as she replied,
"Almost had to beat someone's ass but now I'm painting my feet. How's your day?"
Fitz's reply came almost instantly, causing Olivia to chuckle.
"Ah, the perfect balance of chaos and relaxation. I like it."
Olivia couldn't help but smile at Fitz's response. It was moments like these that reminded her of the connection they shared. Despite her own personal challenges and uncertainties, they found solace in each other's presence, even through text messages.
As the girls continued their mini spa day, laughter and conversation filled the room. Olivia's phone buzzed again, indicating another message from Fitz.
"I'm bored out of my mind. Thinking of going for a run to clear my head," the message read.
Olivia's eyes lit up with mischief as she quickly typed a reply.
"Well, if you're still bored after your run, maybe I could swing by your dorm and take you out of your misery. I guess. Just a thought."
Fitz's response took a moment to come through, causing Olivia to tap her fingers impatiently. Finally, the message appeared on the screen.
"I'll let you know."
Olivia grinned, feeling a surge of excitement. She couldn't help but enjoy the banter and playful back-and-forth with Fitz. It added a spark of excitement to her day, amidst the chaos.
Olivia, Brie, and Alex sat huddled together in Alex's dorm room, their voices filled with excitement and laughter. They were deep in the midst of a juicy gossip session, sharing stories and speculations about their fellow classmates.
As they giggled over the latest scandal, Olivia's phone buzzed, indicating a new message. She glanced at the screen to see a text from Fitz. Opening it, she couldn't help but smile at the selfie he had sent. Fitz looked adorable, his expression clearly bored, with a bowl of popcorn in his hand.
Olivia grinned, her fingers quickly typing a reply.
O: "I see you've got my weakness there. Would you still like me to come over?"
Fitz's response came almost instantly, causing Olivia's heart to flutter.
F: Absolutely!"
Olivia laughed, her excitement growing.
O: On one condition
F: Okay"
O: you have to promise not to touch another piece of popcorn until I get there" Olivia Responds
F: "Deal! How about I just make you your own bowl?" My dorm is 305 on the west wing" .
O: "Deal! Ill be there soon"
As Olivia gathered her things to leave, Alex and Brie looked at her curiously. "Where are you off to, Liv?" Alex asked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"I'm heading over to my friend Fitzgerald's dorm," Olivia replied, with a straight face refusing to be questioned by her sister
Alex raised an eyebrow. "The handsome quiet guy that's always coming out of the biology lab?"
Olivia nodded, trying to hide her growing smile. "Yes, but we're strictly just friends. We're still getting to know each other."
Alex smirked and gave Olivia a knowing look. "Well, have fun, Liv. And make sure to text us to let us know you're okay."
Olivia waved goodbye, her heart pounding with anticipation. She couldn't wait to see Fitz and spend some time with him, even if it was just as friends. As she made her way to Fitz's dorm, she couldn't help but wonder what the evening had in store for them.
As Olivia walked towards Fitz's dorm, her mind was filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She couldn't deny the growing connection she felt with him, but at the same time, she didn't want to rush into anything. They had only recently started getting to know each other, and Olivia wanted to take things slow.
As she reached Fitz's dorm room, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door. A few moments later, the door swung open, revealing Fitz with a warm smile on his face. He looked even more handsome up close, and Olivia couldn't help but feel a flutter in her stomach.
"Hey, Olivia! Come on in," Fitz said, stepping aside to let her in.
Olivia entered the room, taking in her surroundings. It was neat and organized, just like Fitz's personality. She noticed a cozy seating area with a small table, where Fitz had set up a bowl of popcorn.
"I kept my promise and saved some popcorn for you," Fitz said, gesturing towards the bowl. "I even added some extra butter, I hope thats the way you like it if not you eat boring ass popcorn."
Olivia's heart melted at the sweet gesture. She couldn't help but feel a warmth in her chest as she realized how much Fitz paid attention to the little details.
"Thank you, Fitz. That's really thoughtful of you," Olivia replied, a genuine smile spreading across her face.
They settled down on the couch, their conversation flowing effortlessly. They talked about their interests, shared funny stories, and discovered common hobbies. Olivia couldn't help but be captivated by Fitz's intelligence and wit, and she found herself opening up to him more than she had with anyone else.
As the evening went on, Olivia's initial nervousness As they finished their popcorn and laughed at a funny story Olivia shared, Fitz couldn't help but be drawn to Olivia's sassy personality. He found her quick wit and playful banter incredibly endearing.
"So, Olivia, I heard you're from California," Fitz said, leaning back on the couch.
Olivia raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Oh, you heard right, Mr. Detective. I'm a California girl through and through. Born and raised in the land of sunshine and palm trees."
Fitz chuckled, enjoying Olivia's sass. "Well, I'm from California too. Looks like we have something in common."
Olivia smirked, leaning closer to Fitz. "Oh, really? And here I thought I was the only cool Californian in this room."
Fitz laughed, shaking his head. "You're definitely one of a kind, Olivia. But I have to say, your sass is quite adorable."
Olivia feigned surprise, placing a hand on her chest. "Adorable? Is that the best you can come up with, Fitz? I was expecting something more impressive."
Fitz grinned, playing along with Olivia's teasing. "Alright then, how about this? Your sass is not only adorable, but it's also incredibly captivating. It's like a magnetic force that I can't resist."
Olivia's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Well, I guess I can accept that. It's not every day a guy admits to being magnetically attracted to my sass."
They both burst into laughter, their playful banter creating a comfortable and lighthearted atmosphere. As they continued to share stories about their lives in California, Fitz couldn't help but feel a growing connection with Olivia. Her confidence and wit were a breath of fresh air, and he found himself wanting to spend more time with her.
As the evening turned into night, Olivia and Fitz found themselves lost in conversation, oblivious to the passing time. They talked about their dreams, their fears, and their aspirations. It was a level of openness and vulnerability that surprised them both, but it also brought them closer together.
As they finally realized how late it had gotten, Olivia let out a yawn, trying to hide her exhaustion. Fitz noticed and couldn't help but feel a pang of concern.
"Hey, it's getting late. I should probably let you get some rest," Fitz said, his voice filled with genuine care.
Olivia nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Yeah, I guess it's time to call it a night. But I had a really great time, Fitz. Thank you for tonight."
Fitz smiled back, his eyes filled with warmth. "The pleasure was all mine, Olivia. I'm glad we got to spend this time together. We should do it again sometime."
Olivia's smile widened, her heart fluttering with excitement. "I'd like that, Fitz. I'd really like that."
As they said their goodbyes and Olivia made her way back to her dorm, she couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness and anticipation. She knew that her connection with Fitz was something special, and she couldn't wait to see where their journey would take them even as friends.
