Hello there! I've been a bit busy lately, and mostly lacking inspiration. I just thought about an idea today and decided to write it. So let me know if you like this chapter, and I'll give you more. Enjoy!

"Why do you look like you're trying to solve the conflict in the Middle East?" Donna asked mockingly, strutting into Harvey's office.

She had spent the last five minutes looking at the man through his glass walls, watching him shuffle thick papers in his hands, with an unusual expression on his face. He was frowning, a look of indecisiveness in his eyes. As much as she secretly loved to watch him bite on his lower lip – something that was much frequent- curiosity got the best of her as she decided to find out what was making him so perplexed.

"That would have been much easier" he pouted. He looked up at her, as she stood in a black dress that perfectly hugged her body, curiosity flickering in her eyes. He hadn't really noticed what she was wearing today; she was sitting when he arrived to his office, but as he now looked at her, he found it very difficult to look away. It constantly surprised him how a woman could look so good everyday; seemingly more beautiful by the minute.

She walked towards him, comfortable sitting on the chair facing his desk. "What's that?" she asked, pointing at the documents in Harvey's hands.

"Remember last week when you passed by my apartment to hand me the Stark case files?" he asked

She nodded, waiting impatiently to know more. "And you told me I should consider adding some colors to my apartment? Well I think you're right" he explained.

"Of course I am" she smiled, secretly happy he had listened to her advice. "What do you have in mind?" she asked softly.

"I have no freaking idea. I got those colors from a painting company's brochure" he said, extending his hand to pass the documents to her. "The ones I circled are those I like. But I don't know" he admitted. Donna didn't say anything, as he patiently waited for her opinion. She loved to see that indecisive hesitant part of Harvey, finding it very endearing. "What do you think?" he was finally able to ask.

"Yes I like this one too" she said, pointing to a dark purple color. "It's great for the bedroom; rich, dramatic, sexually arousing" she explained, a tone of flirtation found at the end of her sentence. " I can help you with this" she stated, as he looked at her with an expression she rarely saw. It was a mix of surprise and tenderness, a look he washes away fast enough for her to think she had imagined it. "That would be great. Just tell me the codes you know, and I'll call the guy to come and paint them" he replied, a small smile on his face.

"No need. We can paint it" she said, her statement making his eyebrow rise in surprise. "Oh no, I do not paint. Plus it would look disastrous" he said. "No it wouldn't" she insisted. "I really like doing it and it's easy, you can learn it. Plus, if you end up not liking the poor's guy work you would probably kill him. If I mess up, you'll pout for a few days and then all will be good" she teased with a smile on her face.

"Is that so? So you don't think I can stay mad at you?" he flirted back, his gaze piercing through her.

"Nope" she said, making the p pop at the end of the sentence. "You love me too much" she continued.

She regretted the choice of words as soon as she heard them, anxiously waiting for his reaction. She didn't mean it that way, or maybe she did, the words had just slipped.

His heart skipped as he heard those words, but he kept his face straight, rolling his eyes as he faked annoyance. "Pfft fine but if I feel at any moment that it's going to shit, I'm calling the guy. And if I get one drop of pain on my clothes…" he said.

"Oh my god you are such a spoiled baby" she said, standing up, unable to hide her excitement. "Friday we leave early, get what we need and start painting" she said quickly, leaving his office.

Harvey's grin grew wide as he watched Donna write down a reminder in her very dear organizer. She had already picked the furniture anyway, might as well let her do this, Harvey thought, trying to convince himself it was nothing more than colors.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this. Let me know your thoughts about it.
