Abby is feeling an attraction to Jake, but at the same time she's still afraid of being alone with him.

"Jake, I agreed to go out drinking with you... but I want you to tell me the truth. You're only asking me on a date because you want to make Olivia jealous. I know that..." she asked, afraid of his reactions to the question.

Jake is controlling himself not to be who he really is in front of Abby. "Obviously I'm still in love with Olivia... but I really want to sleep with you" he said.

"You were very direct" Abby can't hide in her expression..

"I'm direct... but you don't have to worry, I'm not going to hurt you. We're adults... we both want sex and that's fine" he started laughing and she was still a little tense.

Then they started drinking and Abby became less tense.

Fitz's security guard is doing his job and when Fitz is back, he'll make all the details clear to him.

"Mom, we have to go home early tomorrow," Olivia said with a sad look on her face.

"Are you leaving already?" Maya complained and hugged her.

"We have to work... he's my boss, but I have a lot of work to do," she laughed.

"Your boyfriend is so handsome and kind... I like him" Maya smiled.

"And my dad?" Olivia laughed.

"He really liked him... but he's still doing the test he likes to do, to see if he's really the right one for you. you know how your father is..."

"I know..."

Olivia, Fitz, Maya and Eli had dinner, drank and laughed together.

Abby got a bit drunk and was afraid to be alone in her house with Jake... so she told him to leave the bar alone and they'd meet again tomorrow.

Another day.

Olivia and Fitz returned home, his house now also her house.

They had coffee, showered together and went to the company. Whenever they arrive together and holding hands at Grant's company, they generate a lot of comments. women who wish they were in Olivia's place, Alex jealous, Cyrus curious to know more about their relationship…

Fitz's security guard was waiting for him...

Fitz went in and asked him what else he'd found out about Jake and he said that Jake was seeing Abby and that she was in total agreement with him about it. the security guard left and Fitz wondered about it...

Fitz signed some papers, made some calls... hours later.

Vincent entered his office.

"Vicent" Fitz hugged his brother, smiling.

"You've been missing for so long... so I had to check if you were still alive" Vincent laughed.

"I'm alive and very happy," said Fitz, smiling.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you smile like that... what happened? I bet it involves Olivia" said Vincent.

"Olivia... you're talking about my girlfriend" Fitz said with a spontaneous smile.

"Your girlfriend? I knew you'd find the courage to tell her your feelings. I'm really happy for you" Vincent hugged him.

"I love her so much, she's so important to me. I've even met her parents," he said, completely in love.

"That's amazing... you know Lara and I did tests to get her pregnant and then she got the result saying she can't have children. she's so sad... I think we can arrange a dinner with you and Olivia, me and her at my place. what do you think?" said Vincent.

"I'm sorry...i know how much you dream of being a father. and i think dinner is a good idea" Vicent goodbye to Fitz and left.

Hours later...

Olivia came into his office talking... "Baby, I've got a good idea for the new car launches" she said, and sat down on his lap, Fitz put his hands on her thighs and kissed him on the lips.

Fitz had a strange look on his face and she obviously noticed. "Baby, what?"

"My security guard I put on to follow your ex-boyfriend," he said.

"What did he find out?"

"Him and his red-haired friend... who used to live with you."

"Abby? What did he do to her?" Olivia immediately became worried about Abby.

"They're meeting... but it's not the way you think. She wasn't forced to go with him... she went of her own free will," he said.

Olivia immediately got off his lap and started walking around the room... "What? you mean? no... Abby would never do that to me"

"Liv" he got up and walked over to her... "I don't know if she's really as good a friend as you think. I just want to keep you safe" he stroked her cheek.

"She wouldn't do that to me... Jake could only have threatened her with something"

"Liv, he assured me that she went to meet him spontaneously"

"That can't be true," said Olivia, not believing what he was saying.

"Baby, I know you well enough and I know you'll go there... just be careful, the security guard will be outside the whole time" he said, cuddling her.

"Thank you for looking after me... I love you" she kissed Fitz and continued her work.

Later...

Abby left work and went home, she texted Jake to meet her there.

Jake hasn't had his reunion with Olivia yet, but he knows that by getting closer to Abby, he'll soon be able to come face to face with Olivia again.

Hours later... Jake knocked on the door and Abby opened it, they chatted for a while and she told him to wait until she was going to take a shower and pick out clothes so they could go out to eat. he sat down to wait...

Olivia stopped her white convertible in front of the house where she lived with Abby. if everything the security guard told Fitz was true, she wanted to see for herself. she was breathing heavily, her hands were shaking... she got out of the car and walked to the door. she didn't need to knock, because she had the key... so she just opened the door.

Jake was drinking water in the kitchen and Abby was taking a shower. Olivia walked in and saw Jake standing there with his back to her, drinking water... she knew she would have to come face to face with him again, but she didn't want it to be under these circumstances with Abby involved. in a few seconds her mind started playing a movie about everything she had been through with Jake. he turned to her... Jake looked at her, made that obsessive smile, looked at her body and said "Olivia, Olivia... I knew I'd find you here. you're still beautiful, hot... as always. you haven't changed a bit" he kept smiling and pretending that everything was normal between them.

"I'm not afraid of you, Jake. I'm not afraid... you'll never lay your hands on me again" she said, her heart racing, but she didn't let him know she was nervous.

"Olivia, you never let me explain what happened that day. You just ran away from me."

"Explain what? Explain that you tried to rape me?" she said, looking into his eyes.

Abby heard a noise and turned off the shower. She wrapped herself in the towel and went to see what was going on...

"That's not what happened... I made a mistake and I'm sorry" he began to lie, because that's all he knows how to do, tell lies.

Abby approached and saw Olivia and Jake talking. when Abby approached, Olivia completely ignored Jake's existence, he makes no difference to her life. but with Abby it's different, she's feeling betrayed by her friend.

"Go away, Jake... we'll talk later," said Abby.

He started laughing and stared at Olivia, then he left.

"When Fitz told me, I tried to say that the security guard had seen it wrong, that it was a mix-up... but is this real? are you fucking my ex-boyfriend? after everything I've told you about him?" said Olivia with an expression that mixed disappointment and anger.

"Security? Is there a security guard following me?" Abby asked.

"There is... there's a security guard outside. because Fitz wants to protect me," Olivia began to raise her voice.

"I don't want a security guard investigating my intimate life..." she said angrily.

"What do you want to hide? That you're fucking my ex-boyfriend who's obsessed with me?" Olivia shouted.

"Are you jealous of him? I haven't even fucked him yet... but I'm going to, because I'm in the mood, I think he's handsome. you already have Fitz, Alex... do you want Jake too? why do you always have to be with the most handsome men?" Abby shouted too.

"What are you talking about? I'm not jealous of him, I'm disgusted by Jake. Don't you realize? He's using you, he's using you to get to me, he's using you because he's obsessed with me"

"Do you think I'm not as beautiful as you? Do you think he can't be interested in me? I've never told you this before... but you always get the best men, you always get more attention than me... and you were a virgin, you didn't want to go to parties... but they still go after you... Fitz, Alex, Jake... how many more?" said Abby, taking her frustration out on Olivia.

"I didn't know you felt that way, but I'm not to blame for the men who want me... it's just that Jake, he tried to rape me, he's violent and he's going to hurt you" Olivia was angry with Abby, but she was worried about her at the same time.

"I don't trust him, but he didn't try to hurt me, he didn't try to sleep with me against my will. I want to give him a chance, he might have changed... after what happened between you two," Abby shouted.

Olivia rolled her eyes... "You're an adult, you know what you're doing. If you want to trade our friendship for Jake's cock... then you've made your choice" Olivia yelled back at her.

"You traded our friendship for Fitz's cock"

"What?"

"You got a gorgeous, hot, rich, sex-addicted man... who gives you everything you want... expensive clothes, luxury cars, yachts, helicopter rides and me? what do I have here alone? you don't understand" Abby turned away.

"You know better than anyone about my history with Fitz... you know that I love him and I would love him just as much if he didn't have all the money he has. I don't want to fight with you anymore... it seems you've already made your choice." Abby stood back without the courage to look Olivia in the eye and Olivia left and slammed the door. Abby is feeling lonely, frustrated and letting Jake manipulate her.

Olivia drove off and shed a few tears, she'd held them back so as not to cry in front of Jake and Abby, but now she'd shed them. seeing Jake again after so long and fighting with Abby on the same day, had shaken her feelings. She got home and Fitz was waiting for her, he wanted to go with her, but he knows she needed to have this conversation alone with Abby.

"Hold me, just hold me," she said.

Fitz opened his arms and held her with all his love. "I'm here for you, baby...and I'm going to take care of you"
