"I'll think about what I can do to help you with Fitz, okay?" said Vincent. Jessie smiled, hugged him and left.
Olivia and Fitz arrived together at the company, Alex and Cyrus were watching the two arrive together and noticed that there was something between them.
Olivia arrived for work smiling, after an incredible Sunday with Fitz.
"You're smiling so much today, you're really happy," Alex joked.
"Yes, I am. How are you?" she asked.
"Good, but I could be better... if you'd given me a chance"
"Alex... you said you're a patient man. my love life is complicated" she joked.
"Yes, I am... but... can I ask you something?"
"Yes"
"You and the boss... you and Fitzgerald Grant? is there something? I've noticed something. if you don't want to answer, that's fine"
"Alex, it's complicated... it's the only thing I can tell you right now" she deflected the question.
"Can I invite you to drink in that bar again?"
"Yes, I'd love to" she smiled.
She can't deny that Alex's beauty, along with the gentle way he treats her, makes her wonder if she's making the right choice about Fitz.
She and Alex work so well together.
Later... Abby bought a new cell phone, she looked all over the house and couldn't find her old one. it didn't cross her mind that Jake had her cell phone, all she could think was that she lost it on the street.
Jake got a man to unlock Abby's password and gained access to her cell phone. he opened up the conversations between Liv and Abby... Jake now knows about Liv's new life, about Fitz, about where she works... and this is sure to become a problem for Olivia.
Olivia and Alex left work together once again, she preferring to leave a little before Fitz.
They went to the same bar they went to together the other time...
"You're so beautiful, so beautiful" Alex said.
"Thank you"
"Tell me more about your life?" he asked.
She told him a little about her parents, about college, about moving to another city, about Abby...
He touched her hands and began to stroke them, she didn't take her hands away and let him stroke them.
"If it hadn't been for... someone else... I would have given you a chance by now," she said smiling at him.
"I won't give up, I know I'll get a chance to kiss you"
"And how do you know that?" she asked.
"I know," he laughed.
They talked some more and left.
Olivia was confused and needed to talk, so she texted Fitz and said she was going to sleep over tonight at the house she lived in with Abby.
Abby opened the door and hugged Olivia so tightly.
"I miss you so much," Abby cried.
"I miss you too... I came to sleep here tonight."
"Did something happen with you and him?" Abby noticed that Liv needed to talk.
"So many things happened in my life from one hour to the next. one day I was a virgin and days later I was losing my virginity to a man I'd met in such a short time. I never imagined myself in a situation like this, Abby" she began to pace back and forth.
"He never forced you to have sex with him, right?" Abby asked.
"No, he never disrespected me..."
"Look... you're both adults, if you want to fuck him and he wants to fuck you. what's the problem? enjoy it... sex is so good"
"The problem is... I think I'm creating feelings for him. but he's full of past traumas, his father is a toxic man and he can't have a normal relationship" she continues pacing back and forth and putting her hands in her hair.
"Liv, stop walking"
"I can't... there's another man. Alex... he works with me in administration, he's so nice to me, he flirts with me all the time" now she stopped walking and sat down on the sofa.
"Is he better looking than Fitz?" Abby laughed.
"No, Fitz is better looking, he's hotter... but Alex is gorgeous too and I'm confused"
"Do you want to have a threesome with the two of them?" Abby has an incredible sense of humor.
Olivia started laughing... "Abby, I'm serious"
"Pick one"
"Fitz" her eyes sparkle at the thought of him.
"So... you've already made your choice"
"It's not that simple, I choose Fitz... but he doesn't know how to have a normal relationship and so Alex wants to offer me a normal relationship"
"Do you want a normal, easy love... or do you want a difficult, extraordinary love that could change your life forever? make your choice" Abby asked and she spent the whole night thinking about it.

Olivia left early and went to Fitz's house.
She opened the bedroom door and he was asleep with his shirt off, she stood watching him sleep and smiling.
He stirred in bed, opened his eyes and saw her standing there watching him.
"Olivia?"
"Good morning"
"What's wrong? You're acting strange" he noticed that she had something on her mind.
"I need to talk to you," she said.
Fitz got out of bed immediately...
"Did something happen?" he was a little confused, because he had just woken up.
"I'm confused... I love having sex with you every day, I love being your submissive, I love everything you teach me about sex... but I don't want a relationship that's just about sex, Fitz. I want more..."
He moved closer and closer to her.
"Is it that Alex again? I'm going to fire him" Fitz started to get jealous of her.
"You're not going to fire him, Fitz. he's a great employee, he does an amazing job in management with me. stop it" she defended Alex and made him even more jealous.
"Why are you defending him like this?"
"Because he doesn't deserve to be fired, that's why"
"Do you want to be with him? fine, Olivia. you can go... be happy with him. is he the man of your dreams?" he left the room and left her talking to herself.
He went downstairs...
"Fitz" she shouted.
He kept walking…
"Fitz"
"You can go, Olivia. I'm definitely not the man of your dreams. but that's okay, because you've already found the man of your dreams"
"Stop it, Fitz. I didn't say I was leaving... I just... I just"
"You got tired of being my submissive... that's fine..." he's completely overcome with jealousy.
"I love being your submissive, but I want more... Fitz... I want more..."
"What do you want, Olivia? I broke all my rules for you... all my rules"
"I know you broke your rules for me, I know I'm special to you, I know... but I want to be more than your submissive, I want to be able to tell people that you're mine... and I don't want to have to find other women and put up with them telling me that you always come back to them. like Jessie said..." she was totally sincere with him.
"I don't want to lose you, I can't lose you..." he said.
"I don't want to lose you either, Fitz. I want you to be my man... that's what I want. I want to be able to walk hand in hand with you into the company and everywhere. I want you to tell people that I'm your... your woman... yours"
"I... I..." he tried to say, he wanted to say that he was in love with her, he wanted to say that he wanted her to be his girlfriend, but he couldn't, every time he tried to say it... he had bad memories of the past.
"You what? Speak up Fitz... I want to hear you say it" she shouted.
He remained silent...
"You made your choice," she shouted, then Olivia got into the convertible he had given her and drove back to the house where she lived with Abby.
A few minutes later... "Liv?"
Olivia hugged Abby and started crying.
"What happened?"
"I think it's over..." she said.
"Did you fight with him?"
"Yes, I shouted and shouted and he kept quiet. he made his choice... he just wants to have sex with me, he definitely doesn't want a relationship with me."
"Liv, you're in love with him"
