"He went to meet her way past midnight yesterday" said the man to the angry woman in front of him.

"For what?" The woman in front of him barked.

"You know what." He replied, drinking the glass of water in front of him.

"What a slut!" She said rolling her eyes.

He raised his eyebrow at her choice of words because he knew if there was any slut in this conversation, it definitely was not Olivia.

"That whore. I thought it was a one time thing. I thought maybe he'd fuck her once and twice and forget about her, like all the other woman in his life, but no, this is getting very serious. We have to do something."

"Whatever it is that you're planning I want out of it. To be honest, you should stop this too."

"He's never gonna love you."

She looked at him angrily, clenching her teeth.

"Don't look at me like that. You're nothing but a delusional, desperate bitch." He said rolling his eyes.

"How dare you? Disrespect me one more time and he'll know everything."

He rolled her eyes and sighed.

This was getting out of hand.

"Look, I don't want to spy for you anymore. I hate doing this behind Fitz's back."

"So you want me to tell him the truth?" She challenged.

He looked away annoyed.

"This bitch" he muttered.

He thought hard about it. If it were any other day, he would've agreed to her terms in return of her silence. But he was done.

"You know what? Tell him. I don't care. You're going to use this as an excuse forever I know, so just go ahead and tell him."

"It's not a big deal now that I think about it. He doesn't even care about anything related to you. The most he'd do is fire me, that's fine by me." The man said smirking at the woman in front of him.

She looked at him angry at being insulted.

"You are nothing to him. You don't matter to him anymore. You don't matter to anyone." He said bitterly, pushing all her buttons.

"You're delusional If you think he has feelings for you after all these years of denying you time and again. Don't you ever learn?"

He saw angry tears pool in her green eyes as her face reddened.

"You really think after all this time you can do and say whatever you want and he will believe you? He has someone in his life now, you are nothing to him. So I'll advice you to shut that filthy mouth of yours and stay in your loser lane."

He got up and slammed the chair in front.

"Goodbye, you need help." He said and walked away. He felt free and rejuvenated. It felt great to finally put that bitch in her place.

The woman threw the glass of water in front of her and seethed in anger.

She hated one person the most. He just got added to her list. Now she needs to think of a plan that involves both of them in a way that would make Fitz stay away from Olivia forever.

She smirked as an idea flashed to her head.

"Goodbye, Olivia Pope" She said.

Fitz POV

"You're weird nowadays" I heard my friend Marcus say.

I simply chuckled.

"Weird?"

"Yeah, happy. Like, way too happy. It's annoying." He said looking at me seriously this time.

"Does it have anything to do with that girl you've been seeing?"

"Olivia. Yes. It has everything to do with her." I replied, thinking about yesterday night. It brought a smile to my face.

"How old is she?"

"Because I heard, she's young." He said.

"She's 22." I said looking into my files.

"Woah." I heard him say and I looked up at him.

"What?"

"22?"

"Yes."

"This some sort of kink?" He said and laughed.

I rolled my eyes.

"Why does it have to be a kink? Can't it just be that I love her?" I said exasperated.

Marcus raised his eyebrows and only then did I realize what I said.

I love Olivia.

I love Olivia.

I am in love with Olivia Pope.

I smiled widely as I felt relief wash over me. I always knew in my heart I would fall in love with her, I just knew it, somehow. She was everything I wanted and more.

I wonder if she felt the same way towards me.

"Hello?" Marcus waves his hands at me bringing me out of my dream.

"You're a goner." He laughed and left my office room.

I wanted to say it to Olivia so bad but I was scared I'd scare her away. Well, we haven't dated for a long time exactly but I'm positive about my feelings for her. I love her, I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

But there were so many steps before that, we still had to tell Karen. We have to do it soon, I don't want to keep it from Karen any longer.

And there's also other things yet to be finalised and done.

Olivia POV

I walked out of my house to go visit my friend Abby for lunch. She said she would pick me up so I waited for her to show up. After 15 minutes I gave her a call only to find out she hasn't left yet.

Groaning, I decided to stay inside until she came.

Just when I wanted to turn around and walk away, I heard someone call my name.

"Olivia."

I turn around to see a person I wasn't expecting even in my wildest dreams.

"What are you doing here?"

"Hi. Ummm."

It was awkward.

"Is everything okay? Is Fitz okay? Is Karen okay?"

I don't know I got very scared thinking about why Jake was outside my house at 12PM.

"Yeah, I need to talk to you about something. Can we go somewhere more private?"he asked.

"Talk about what? I have to meet a friend. Can this wait?" I felt really awkward with this conversation. Something felt off about it.

"No. It's about You and Fitz. It's important." Something about the look on his face made me forget about my lunch plans.

I texted Abby that something came up and walked to the park near my house with Jake.

What does he want to talk to me about that was so serious ?
