Hi everyone. I am so so so sorry about not updating! I was really busy with life and then I was out of the country for a couple of months and after I got back I just couldn't write, probably had writers block or whatever you call it. I hope you can all forgive me and enjoy this chapter :)
"Livvie who is dead?" Fitz tried to get an answer from Olivia.
"Please answer us." Cy added.
"You are worrying us. Livvie." Fitz still tried to get Olivia to open up.
"I'll go grab some water." Cyrus went out of the office.
"My. My friend.." Olivia tried to say and then got up from the couch "I. I have to go. I need to fly to New York."
"Tom, please go with Olivia. I want her to be safe."
"Fitz. You don't have to."
"But I want to."
"Alright"
"Okay. Now let's go to the residence you take a nap, and I'll have my assistant book you on the next flight to New York. Okay?" Fitz informed her while he and Olivia made their way to the residence.
"Where are you going?"Cyrus asked as he joined them.
"Upstairs." Fitz told him.
"Okay. Good. I'll I need to go I have the conference call. Sir don't forget about your meeting in two hours."
"Yes Cy I know. But right now this is important."
"Okay, sit here. I'll get you some aspirin." Fitz seated Olivia on the couch in the residence.
"Yeah. Okay." She was now out of the shock and the tears kicked in. she started sobbing. Fitz seeing this quickly made his way back to Olivia and sat next to her and took her in his arms soothing her back with his hand. "Shhh. It will be okay. I'll come with you to New York."
"Fitz. You can't." Olivia stopped crying and stated while looking up at Fitz.
"I can't BUT I will." He assured her.
"Fitz. NO. Your putting yourself in danger." Olivia tried to reason with him.
"Livvie. I don't want you to be alone." Fitz hugged her closer.
"I won't be. I'm fine. I don't want you in danger." Olivia looked at him up again.
"Livvie." Fitz was interrupted by Olivia "NO. Your NOT coming. I'll be alright by the time I get there. You NEED to stay here."
"I still thin.." He was interrupted by her again "Fitzgerald. I said no." Olivia looked him straight in the eye.
"Fine. But take Tom. Okay?" Fitz looked at her waiting for an answer she nodded yes.
"Did I just won an argument with the President of United States of America?" She put her head to his chest and smiled.
"Next argument you won't be so lucky. Now you wanna talk about it?"Fitz hugged her again and kissed the side of her head.
"His name is Patrick. Was Patrick." she took a moment to gather her self and continued "We went to college together. While in college we where close together then he moved to New York and saw each other once in a while." Olivia opened up to Fitz and he held her even tighter. "He was like a brother to me."
"Thank you."
"For what?" She raised her eyebrow at him.
"For opening up to me. I now that you don't do this so I'm very grateful." Fitz smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Thank you for being here for me to open up." She put her head to his chest again and let a huge sigh.
"Always. Livvie. I'll be always here for you." Fitz kissed the top of her head again and was interrupted by a knock on the door "Come in."
"Sir. Miss. Pope's flight is in the next hour we nee to take her home to pack." Tom told Fitz and got out of the room. Olivia got up and Fitz right behind her to stood next to her and took her head into his hands and he wiped the tear stains with his thumb from her cheeks. She smiled at him again. "I'll be alright Fitz."
"Call me if you need me. Okay?" Fitz demanded but with a low and caring voice. Olivia nodded in agreement and hugged him once more and then went to grab Tom.
Once Olivia and Tom left, Cyrus who witnessed only the last minute of their exchange could ready between the lines. And now he was furious.
"WHAT THE HELL SIR?" Cyrus shouted at Fitz.
"Cyrus. RELAX." Fitz yelled back at Cy.
"RELAX? RELAX SIR? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Cyrus shouted with his blood boiling getting his face red as a tomato.
"NO. But clearly you are Cy." Fitz tried to calm Cy.
"Sir. Are you trying to put me into an early grave?"
Fitz chuckled at Cy's statement. "Cyrus. Right now I don't have the time or energy. I need to go. This conversation is over." Fitz demanded as he walked out of the residence.
"This conversation is NOT OVER SIR!" Cyrus shouted back and ran after him. Cyrus caught him by his elbow "Do you seriously have to always find a problem after a fucking problem." Fitz turned around "Cy, Olivia is everything but a problem, I don't know why you're so mad about the fact that I like her. You should be happy."
"Jesus christ, Fitz. You cannot like her, she's your LAWYER! Is the divorce not an enough of a scandal for you? Do you really need to be know as the President who switches between women?" Cy gave him a cold look throughout his speech.
"Cy, listen to me very very carefully. Olivia is not some random women. I really like her Cy, and I feel that she feels the same way. That is why I am gonna take this slow and make it right and there is nothing you can do Cyrus. And that is that. Understood?" After his statement Fitz smiled and walked away towards the oval office.
