Olivia's birthday

7pm

They were seated at Olivia's favorite seafood restaurant. Olivia was dressed in a pink off the shoulder long sleeve dress that stopped mid calf and Fitz was dressed in a matching pink button down, no tie with black fitted slacks. Olivia wanted him to wear pink tonight and he had no quarrels with it. It was her day and anything she asked for, she was getting. They were sitting in a booth, across from each other, flirting , it was as if they were in their own world.

"I know its kind of a young thing to do but I really wanted to match tonight." Olivia was blushing, for some reason she felt a little childish but she loved when her and Fitz matched. It was something possessive about it to her, she really liked the feeling of "mine."

Fitz laughed and grabs her hand "Babe, its fine. I think I'm wearing this pink pretty nicely, maybe even better than you."

Olivia laughed "Wow, I'm suppose to be getting the compliments not you mister." She pinched his hand.

"You are the most gorgeous person ever, no one in this room can hold a candle to your beauty." he said as he kissed her hands.

Olivia playfully giggles and rolls her eyes, Fitz raises his eyebrows. "You don't believe me?"

"Oh I do. If you didn't think that, I would think that you are blind." Olivia looks at him with a smirk.

Fitz winks at her, picks up his glass of red wine and takes a sip while staring at his beautiful girlfriend. Surprisingly this wine tasted good to him. He always let Olivia order the wine, sometimes its bitter sometimes its sweet.

"If I didn't know any better I would say you are enjoying that wine." Olivia was smirking at him again. "You are suppose to sip it not chug Fitzgerald."

"I did not chug, the taste surprised me. You know you drink bitter wines sometimes." He scrunches his nose at her "ehh!"

Before Olivia could sass him, their food arrived. Fish, crab legs, lobster pasta, and endless shrimp.

As they were eating, Olivia noticed Fitz kept looking at her. "What's on your mind?"

Fitz smiles and sets his fork down. "I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have you."

Olivia stops eating, grabs his hand and intertwine their fingers. "I'm lucky as well."

"Livvie I promise from this moment on I won't try to handle things on my own anymore. Its you and me from here on out. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I will do my best to be the best man for you."

Olivia tears up and squeezes Fitz hand. "Thank you. I too, want to spend my life with you. You make me feel so loved and cherished. I appreciate you baby, I really do."

A knock at the door surprised Billy Chambers, for he was not expecting a guest. He walks out of his kitchen and heads to the door of his apartment. To his surprise it was his ex girlfriend Amanda, he closes the peep hole and quickly opens the door. Amanda is standing there with a thigh split dress and a purse Billy remembers buying her.

"Amanda what a lovely surprise." He ushers her in.

"Billy, sweetie we need to talk." Amanda walks in the apartment and turns around to face billy.

"Lets go sit in the living room and chat. I've missed you." Billy walks to Amanda and hugs her. "Did you go see Olivia Pope?" Amanda wasn't here for small talk, she came to find out what Billy had told Olivia. Billy lets her go and holds her at arms length. "Yes, yes I did."

"Why would you do that?"

Billy steps back from Amanda letting her go, "because you left me...I needed to know why..I wanted answers."

"Billy I already told you, me and Fitzgerald are together now. What me and you had was fun while it lasted."

Billy chuckles darkly "See thats the thing..you and Fitzgerald are not together. He's with Olivia Pope. Do you know how crazy I looked going to her asking about you two, only to find out you were nothing more than his secretary." he scoffs at her.

"You had no right sticking your nose in my business." Amanda shouts as Billy walks towards his kitchen to grab his beer, when he turns around he's met with a gun pointed at him.

Amanda looks at him with a smirk on her face "Billy you think you're so smart. You think going to Olivia meant I would back down. Fitz is going to be mines, as soon as I get rid of you and Olivia."

*Bang*

11:00 pm

Olivia was slightly buzzed and now enjoying a car ride with Fitz. After dinner they had went dancing and before they headed home they had another stop to make. Fitz had received a important call from a client, it was an emergency and Olivia didn't mind because Fitz had asked her to ride with him and he promised he wouldn't be long. Olivia drifted off to sleep before they reached their destination.

"Liv..Livvie, hey wake up." Fitz nuzzles against her face and she opens her eyes.

"How long was I sleep?"

"Not long maybe 10 minutes. Come on." Fitz unbuckles her seat belt and helps her out of the car. Olivia looks up as they walk towards the house and is stunned. "This house is gorgeous , who lives here?"

The house itself was a masterpiece and also what Olivia wanted as her own home one day. A mid-sized castle like home with gray bricks with hints of pink in them. The front of the house had bay windows and it looked like it had high ceilings. A garden in front of the bay windows and a few small trees off to the side of the house. Olivia could only imagine what the inside looked like.

Fitz smirks but Olivia doesn't see it. "Oh I know the couple...hey come here, close your eyes you have something on your face." Fitz stops Olivia from walking and she closes her eyes so he can get whatever it is off of her.

Fitz pulls out a small red box and opens it, and he pretends to wipe her face. "Open your eyes."

Olivia opens her eyes and she looks at Fitz whose holding a red box with a set of keys in it. Olivia feels her hear tighten. She looks at Fitz face and she knew. That this house belonged to them. She shakingly grabs him, "You bought a house." she whispered.

Fitz smiles at her and nods his head "I bought US a house."

She feels light headed as she looks at the house and then at him with tears in her eyes.

Olivia lets out a struggled breath "You bought a house. OH MY GOD! BABE is this our house! This is our house?! " she screams with happiness. Fitz picks her up and spins them around, and Olivia showers him with kisses.

"This is your finale birthday gift, I saved it for last." Fitz says to her as she is hugging him. He's walking to the front door, its gray with a oval shape glass in the center of the door. He sets Olivia back on her feet and hands her the keys. As Olivia is unlocking the door Fitz is in her ear "Welcome to your castle, my Queen."

Olivia couldn't stop smiling. She squeezed Fitz hand as she watched him drive them to her apartment. "I can't believe you did that...I can't believe it" she exclaims as she rests her head.

"Remember a while back when we were watching that house hunters show that you like and you saw a house that looked like a castle and you told me that was what your dream home looked like."

Olivia felt so much joy as she looked at Fitz "I can't believe you even remember that, it was a random comment."

"I try to remember things that you say you like babe...and I do pay attention to you when you talk. I know we talked about moving in together maybe twice but I don't want you to feel pressured in any way. The house is gonna get remodeled on the inside and I can hold off on it for however long you want me to."

Olivia looked at him with her eyebrows raised "Why would I want that? I love that you went out your way to do this for me, you have to know that. If the house was ready now I would absolutely pack my bags and live in that beautiful house with you. Fitz I'm in love with you and yes I am ready to move in with you and spend my days with you. This was the sweetest thing anybody has ever done for me. Babe a house, you bought me a house, why wouldn't I be ready. we've made so much progress and I'm ready for that next step as long as you are."

Fitz pulled in Olivia's parking garage. "I am ready for that and so much more Olivia Pope.

Her heart skipped a beat, was he hinting at marriage? Fitz parks the car, and unbuckle his seat belt. "We are in this together. This is it for me, you are it for me."

Olivia becomes so overjoyed with love she pulls him in for a kiss. She breaks apart with a huff, "We need to go upstairs. Now!" Fitz laughs and gets out the car, walks to the passenger side and opens the door for Olivia.

As they head up to her apartment, Olivia kisses Fitz and hugs his arm as they reach her door. "I think we should try that thing tonight." Fitz laughs as he watches Olivia open the door, of course he knows what she talking about. For the past two weeks Olivia has been looking into bdsm, more so the bondage aspect of it.

Olivia and Fitz walk into the apartment, he closes the door and cuts on the light. Olivia screams and Fitz whirls around to see Amanda Tanner sitting on a bar stool with a gun pointed at Olivia.

Fitz stomach drops, he feels sick at the sight. 'What if she shoots her' was his first thought.

Amanda is upset. Fitz wasn't suppose to be here. She hops off the stool, "Fitz what are you doing here? You weren't suppose to see this baby." Amanda looks at Olivia whose frozen in place. "I'm just gonna take care of our little problem and then we can be together."

Olivia bites her tongue and huffed. "Oh you got something to say bitch!" Amanda screams as she points her gun at Olivia once again. Olivia steps back and Fitz runs in front of her.

"Hey! hey! hey! relax relax Amanda." Fitz has his hands up, showing her he means no harm. Amanda steps back, she didn't want to accidentally fire at Fitz.

"Move out of the way Fitz. I don't want to hurt you." Fitz ease his way to Amanda.

"Its ok, its ok, how about me and you leave. Its me you want, Olivia has nothing to do with this." Olivia looks on in fear she sees what Fitz is about to do.

Amanda shakes her head "You must think I'm stupid. As long as she is alive you won't look my way. I've tried to be nice about it, but now she has to die." Amanda sees Fitz walking towards her, he's not in front of Olivia anymore so she steps over to her left and fires the gun.

Fitz lunges at Amanda and she fires again from shock. Fitz howls and falls down to the floor. Olivia screams and runs towards Fitz. Amanda drops the gun and bends over to check on Fitz.

"I'm sorry I'm so sorry Fitz. Baby you weren't suppose to do that. Why did you do that?"

Olivia seizes the opportunity and kicked the gun away, out of Amanda's reach. She dropped down to her knees Fitz was clutching his arm.

"Call 911, it hurts." Fitz rolled over in pain. He was ok, it wasn't much blood. Olivia felt relief wash over her, as she called 911.

When she hung up she didn't think twice about Fitz as she lunged at Amanda and proceeded to kick her in the face. "Bitch get off him." Amanda fell on her back and before she could get up Olivia is on top of her.

Punch.

"How dare you come in my house." punch.

"Threaten my life." punch

"And shoot my man." punch.

Amanda blacked out as Olivia broke her nose. Olivia hops off of Amanda and rushes back to Fitz side.

"Did you whoop her ass?" Fitz breaths heavily as the pain in his arm spreads.

"I whooped her ass." Olivia cradles Fitz head in her lap as they await the ambulance and police to arrive.
