Donna feeling more confident then ever steps out of the elevator onto the Lit,Zane,Specter floor, After last night how could she not feel confident, that is why this morning she chose to wear her favorite deep green skin tight dress, It helps that she secretly knows it's Harvey's favorite dress not only that but it shows her figure, makes her hair scream Red and shows a little cleavage, which today she doesn't mind showing off, All in all she's knows she looks good.
Her heals it the floor, they start clicking as she struts right down to Harvey's office with his favorite coffee in hand she reminds herself, ' stay calm, don't be obvious, nothing happened last night, nothing anyone ells needs to know about at least.' She comes around the corner and catches the first glimpse of him sense he left her house this morning, she stops to take him in for a second, He looks extra handsome with his hair spiked up and his face freshly shaved, She noticed he was wearing the cream shirt and solid maroon tie she bought him last year for his birthday.
Her face lights up and her heart starts to flutter, Harvey was good at making her feel special in his own small ways, to him it was just a small gesture but to her it meant the world, it showed her he cared. Caught up in her deep thoughts she comes back to reality as she see's his eyes latch on to hers from the short distance away. ' Dang it he caught me staring' she thinks to herself ' Okay play this smooth, you got this Donna' she lightly lets out under her breath. She puts one foot in front of the other whilst keeping his gaze she cant help but have the widest grin on her face. She stops at his door and leans against the door frame as she observes Harvey making his way towards her.
" you've been staring for a while there Miss Paulsen, see anything you like" he says smugly. He puts space between the two of them and leans on the other door post across from her as he puts his hands in his pocket while he gives her his winning coy smile.
She cant let him win with the pleasure of catching her staring she thinks to herself.
" I was just admiring your shirt and tie, whoever picked those out for you must be great" She quipped back.
" I think that's not giving that person enough credit, She's the best, Not a bad kisser either" he says with a wink
" Oh wow..... it's a SHE .... should i feel threatened by this She that's an incredibly amazing kisser" with a playful smile on her face she hands her man his coffee.
"It's probably cold by now, i found myself not being able to take my eyes of this dashingly handsome lawyer this morning, i just wish i had his number so i could tell him he wears his suit well.
Rotating the warm beverage in his hands he sheepishly looks up at her," You know its only 8 am we could a..." Before Harvey could finish his sentence Donna closes the gap between them knowing know one is around yet to see them so it's safe. Her hands land on his chest as she keeps a safe 2 inches between them.
"you know i wouldn't want anything more then tooo.." she lets her sentence drop "But we promised this morning we would keep it professional at work, Plus it will make it more fun this way so i can tease you throughout the day".
With a smirk on her face and light in her eyes she slides her hand down and inner locks their hands together.
"You don't make it easy" he says in a low tones voice " If i made it easy you wouldn't wanna come over tonight" she teases " Can it be tonight yet" complains.
He squeezes her hand one last time before she puts distance between them again. As she does a loud voice comes wailing around the corner. " Hey guys guess who your looking at" Louis happily states as he enters Harvey's office " Donna, look at you arn't you as stunning as ever" " why, thank you Louis"
"Hey what about me, arnt i stunning" Harvey quips while Donna gives him the all knowing stink eye.
"your tie is on point" still as happy as ever Louis excitingly points out.
" Why thank you, i picked it out myself" Donna points points out " The maroon really makes his eye pop ...... NOT that i'm looking at his eyes"
"Smooth" Harvey lets out.
" So what can i do for you Louis" " Oh nothing i'm just checking in on my favorite employees becouse you know i'm the managing partner now" He states like a giddy school boy.
" Ahh yes, yes, you are .... funny i thought that was a Bah.. i mean good dream".
He fumbles over his words "I'm sorry, Louis congratulations of course i remembered it was just a looong night".
He knowingly glances at donna " So if there's anything ells i have to get back from work"
" Nope that's all Harvey, your doing great keep up the good work" with that Louis left the office.
"well i better be off myself can't distract you all day" She says as she lingers not wanting to leave.
" Oh i'm sure you can" He stares at her longingly.
"I think that's my cheque" As she walks off she takes on last glance at her man until he's out of sight.
"Hello" " Oh Louis you about gave me fright, Omgosh" " Your the one who ran into me, what were you looking at anyways?" He states probingley " Oh i umm the wall, it's ugh pretty ... very pretty wall."
" Mhmm Okay anyways, i wanted to talk to you about something real fast" Flustered Donna stammers hoping it's not about Her and Harvey " Yah ugh i was just about to go to my office, Shoot what's up? They both start to walk towards her office while Louis tries to gather his thoughts.
They enter her office and Louis shuts the door behind them. " Oh this must be serious " Donna quips as she takes a seat in her chair. " Harvey said he had a long night last night, do you think he's okay?, you know with me being managing partner and all".
Not expecting him to say that Donna holds back her amusement. "Oh Harvey's fine, trust me that's not what kept him up late last night".
looking relived Louis prods again. " well if it wasn't that then what?"
"Do you really think i would know, i was a little pre - occupied myself last night" She teases playfully
"I see, but you just acted like you knew what happened with him?" Louis questions back
"I mean we had a few drinks but then he left my place pretty late so that's probably what he meant by busy, Drinks with me". Trying to save herself from this situation she decides to be a little rude.
"So if that's all i have a lot of work to get done "she strongly suggests not sure if he believes her but he gives in not trying to start an argument. " Alrighty well wont keep you any longer" He slowly gets up and makes his way out the door and props it open before he leaves.
She lets out a breath of relief that she didn't know she was holding in, She takes a deep breath and relaxes then starts with the small stacks of papper on her desk first. ' It's gonna be a long day' She thinks to herself.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
8 pm;Coming to the end of his night Harvey finishes up the last form he needs to go over then starts to pack up for the evening. Even though he had a productive day his mind had been every where ells but where it needed to be. All he could think about all day was Her, But honestly he wouldn't have it any other way. For the first time in forever he looks forward to going home, because this time he actually has someone to come home to. As he's lost in his thoughts about his plans for there night he becomes nervous, ' Pull it together Harvey' he thinks to himself ' Your Harvey GD Specter you don't get nervous'.He heads across to her office before he heads out for the night secretly hoping he can persuade her to clock out and cgo home with him for the night. He can see her through the glass walls as he walks by. She seems to be concentrating really hard on something that's on her laptop and has 3 cute little wrinkles on her forehead, he loves it when she's in the zone she's not only beautiful and smart but she's a complete bad ass at her job and he respects her for never backing down in a fight. There is not many people he respects but Donna is a different story, as soon as he steps in the the door he cant hide the grin plastered on his face. " Hi Handsome, you here to whisk me away so soon" she says playfully without looking away from her computer."How did you know it was me, you could have been calling anyone handsome NOT to mention mike or let alone Louise - Oh GOD" He teases as he over animates his tone.With that comment her gaze goes away from her work and right to his smug beautiful face, " you were proud of that come back weren't you" " Yes, yes i was"For a second they both let out a breath and gaze into each others eyes filling the room with a comfortable silence, With that all she could let out was a soft and loving " Hi", with a soft smile Harvey takes a seat at her desk and tenderly grabs her hand." Hey, you ready to go home" he asks softly knowing they both have had a long day of torcher not being able to be close." Honestly you have been distracting me all day mentally so i'm a little behind in my work" she confesses in a frustrating tone " Really, well wont you just be distracted even more if you know i am home and your ....... here. Babe there will always be work, plus i need you" he lets himself wine " You bring across a fare point Mr. specter But really you need me?, I thought Harvey Specter didn't need anyone." she challenges back as she caresses her finger in circular motions on his hand. His face get serious as he slowly get up from his chair and makes his way to her on the other side of her desk, he motions for her to stand as now they are face to face. He sits on her desk as he grabs her waist gently, her hands finding their way on the back of his neck.His expression is soft and loving " Donna by now i hope you know your not just anyone to me, so yes i don't need anyone. I just need you" as he lets those words hang in the air he does everything in his power to Not kiss her, so before they both do something someone might see he un wantingly slides his hands away.Not knowing how to respond she moves back over to her laptop shuts it down and closes up for the day. " I can't say No to you" she states as they leave her office for the night and make their way to the elevator, Harvey presses the down button but it seems to be taking a while." So ..... what do you have in mind tonight?" she slips out as they make their way into the elevator." You, Me maybe some Red wine and home cooked food?, Maybe Fish or steak"As the doors close Harvey see's his opportunity and takes her waist and draws her body closer to his, she places her arms around his neck."Maybe we can skip the Dinner and have dessert first" She lets out quietly as she leans forward to place a gentle but longing kiss on her man.It was not long till they landed on the ground level, with the sound of the elevator doors opening they quickly pulled away, But secretly not wanting to ever let go.
