About

Their relationship started early on in the beginning of season two, around the time Abby was suspicious of Olivia and David was digging his own personal vendetta / investigation into Olivia. After Abby broke up with David based off of false information they continued to have a sexual relationship.

Season Two

David makes his first move on Abby, only intending to get information about Olivia Pope he strikes up a conversation with Abby at a bar. The conversation ends with sex at Abby's place. With all of David's stalling about Abby coming over to his place, she breaks in to check things out for herself and stumbles upon the infamous wall. Later that night when David's home - and in the shower - Abby surprises him and they begin to talk about Olivia Pope. David tells Abby all about his thoughts on the conspiracy.

After the "bobble head" recordings from David's apartment are brought to the OPA office. Abby listens to all of the recordings including a shocking statement David made while Abby was asleep. He expressed his love to her on night - while she was asleep, when they were still together. After spending the entire night in the office listening to those recordings repeating the same "I love you" on over-and-over Abby storms into Olivia's office the next morning telling her that she's only going to ask her this once... "did you pay Teresa Dunn to lie about David?" Olivia responds truthfully; Abby wants to know who she used. Once she learned it was Harrison she storms out of the OPA office and goes right over to David's and tells him that she loves him too. After David leaves for court, for the Defiance trial, Abby sneaks into David's closet to steal the Cytron card out of his safe. When David realizes the memory card is missing, he attempts to find it at the OPA office, but Abby has it hidden and he cannot find it. David gets angry and storms out, leaving Abby in tears. Although they're not "together" anymore they continue to have have sex... basically friends with benefits.
