The next morning Olivia silently thanked the gods that it was the weekend. They drank quite a bit last night and she's not entirely sure she would have been able to drag herself to work today. She slowly smiled to herself when she remembered the events of last night. So much was said, and happened. It felt unimaginable, as if she was dreaming. He was a dream.

She knew as soon as she walked out of her bedroom door, Abby was going to be full of questions. She sat up, giving herself time to wake up properly.

She pulled out her phone. Her heart softened when she saw his familiar name on her screen.
Fitz: Morning Livvie, I had an amazing time with you and everyone last night, well mostly you. Have a nice morning with Abby.

Olivia: Good morning you, that was a sweet message to wake up too. I will and you enjoy your day! Call me later?

She sighed peacefully to herself, throwing her head back on her pillow. What was he doing to her. She kept having to remind herself that he still is kind of unavailable. And even though they got a bit carried away last night, nothing more can happen, until he's no longer married. Mellie was a nice woman, and she took it so great, Olivia knew the least she could do is respect her. At least from now on.

"Morning." Abby yawned, announcing herself by falling on to the bed next to Liv. Wrapping her arms around her. "Someone's extra soft this morning."

"What can I say. I love me some Liv. She's my hangover cure." Abby joked, causing Liv to drop a cushion on her face. "How are you?"

"I'm excellent. And how are you? You certainly had a seemingly interesting night. I was just waiting to get a hold of you to hear everything but we passed the fuck out when we got back here." She laughed. "We did didn't we." Olivia scrunched her nose, recalling the messy night. They deserved it.

"Now excuse me I need details." Abby sat up.

"What details. There's nothing to tell." Olivia knew as soon as she said that, Abby would be able to see right through her. "Oh right, so you and mister hottie who just announced his entry to availability land just what... talked? Exchanged pleasantries?"

"You are too much!" Olivia smiled. Abby caught on to that smile immediately. "Look at you!" She squealed.

"Oh my god, Abby calm!"

"Okay I am calm. Cool and collected. Now please tell me everything."

Liv rolled her eyes, but agreed to. "Okay so we talked a lot, about everything, what it means for us, how we feel. You know all that stuff. He was so sweet Abby, I couldn't believe some of the things he was saying."

Abby softened at her best friends words. It wasn't often that Olivia showed emotion like this, so she was happy to see it. "Did you kiss? Again!?"

Olivia blushed as she recalled it. "Yeah, which I still feel bad about. He's not necessarily out of his marriage yet, we shouldn't have done that."

"Please his marriage is over Liv. Now details on the kiss please!"

"Abby! It was incredible. I never felt so attracted to someone in my life, god I can't even explain it." She sighed. "Liv! Where were you guys even doing this?"

"The sofa in his office." She laughed. "That's hot." Abby said. "You have no idea.."

"I'm just waiting for the day you see his package. I mean he's gotta be impressive just look at the man." Abby, being Abby, of course added. Liv felt herself smirk unintentionally. "Olivia pope. Did you see Fitz junior?"
