Summary: What if Donna found a "gomer" that wasn't really a "gomer"?
It was the first day of the New Year and pretty much everybody at the West Wing was excited they had just won the election and they still had their jobs for another four years. There was only one person there that wasn't happy and it wasn't the person you thought it would be.
"DONNA!" Josh bellows for his trusty assistant.
"What do you want Joshua it's the first day of the year and you are already bellowing!" Donna yells back.
"Well, excuse me if my celebrations weren't as nice as everybody else's. Get me the folder for H.R. 442. And while you're at it since it's a New Year get me a cup of coffee please?" Josh asks with a smug smile on his face.
"Here is the folder and you can get your own damn coffee. What do I look like a maid or something?" Donna says
"Well, Donnatella if you are feeling frisky you could always change into a French maid costume for me later." He says
"Sorry there Josh but I don't think my boyfriend would like me wearing an outfit like that or atleast for you." Donna says with a smirk.
"What boyfriend? Don't tell me you found another gomer over the holidays Donna. What's his name do I know him and how much of an idiot is he?"
"You know what Josh I was going to tell you about him but since you have to be so damn snarky and ignorant to me I am not going to say one thing to you about him. I like him and he likes me and I will tell you what this one is no gomer. I didn't pick him my roommate Cheryl set us up for New Year's and he treated me like a queen. He even had three dozen rose's delivered to my apartment On New Year's Day." Donna says with a huge smile that reaches her eyes.
"Fine whatever you say Donna but don't come crying to me whenever he pisses you off and treats you like all the other gomers. Just don't say I didn't warn you. Now lets get back to work I do have a country to help run here you know." He says with finality that Donna doesn't like. Deep down she knows she loves Josh but she's tired of being the only one with the feelings and decided that her new years resolution was to find a decent guy and get over Josh cause there was no way anything was going to happen between the two of them.
Later that day Donna is coming back from the mess whenever she sees a delivery guy drop something off on her desk. She runs over and finds a bouquet of white lilies sitting on her desk with a card. She reaches over and opens up the card and reads the message.
My Darling Donnatella,
I know its only been about a day since we last saw each other but I can't stop thinking about you. I was walking by a florist shop and I saw these and they reminded me of your beautiful alabaster skin. I hope I am not too forward by asking if you would care to join me for dinner and a show this evening. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Until then have a beautiful day and don't work too hard I know how your boss is.
Love, Patrick
Donna's heart flutters at the sweetness of the note and leans over and smells the beautiful flowers that she now has. Just as she is enjoying her gift Josh comes up and makes his presence known.
"AHHH latest gomer trying to butter you up with stupid flowers huh. When are guys going to learn that don't work on women anymore. You got to spend real money if you want to impress a girl and win her over. "Josh says with a smug look on his face
Donna just looks at Josh with a death glare on her face that Josh knows all too well means he's in deep trouble.
"You know what Josh maybe that's why you can't keep a girlfriend and you want to know something else I used to put up with your childish games about the guys I dated but from this point on you better not and I repeat not ever try and talk to me about my love life again. Cause if you do you will regret it." Donna says with a huff and turns and heads towards CJ's office.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in" CJ calls out
"Hey CJ you mind if I crash in here for alittle bit. If I stay out there I might kill Josh." Donna says in a huff
"Yeah sure its no problem but if you don't mind me asking what did the idiot boy do now?"
"He's being ignorant about the guy I am dating right now. Keeps calling him a gomer and earlier told me not to come crying to him whenever he treats me like shit like all the other guys have. I am just sick and tired of it CJ this guy isn't like them I mean come on the guy has spent an absolute fortune on flowers for me in just two days. I mean he sent me three dozen red roses on New Years Day and then earlier he had a florist deliver a beautiful bouquet of white lilies with a beautifully worded note." Donna says with a smile on her face
"Man he sounds like a keeper. Listen, Donna I know it pisses you off when Josh says stuff like that but you know its fueled with jealousy-"CJ says
"I know that CJ but I am sick and tired of him expecting me to be miserable and lonely just cause he can't get the courage to just ask me out to dinner or something. That's why I am going out with Patrick cause he is sweet, cute, successful, and he isn't Josh. But anyway you know what I am just going to go home and get ready to enjoy a beautiful evening. Thanks for letting me get that out there CJ. I will talk to you tomorrow morning." Donna says as she walks out of CJ's office.
"Anytime, but hey I want details on the date tomorrow!" CJ yells to Donna
"Sure thing thanks again!" Donna calls over her shoulder.
