This is set on the morning of the inauguration in Tomorrow. I wrote this while I was bored in class lmao!
Josh rolled over in the bed. His hand reached for the alarm clock on the nightstand. He turned it towards him slowly, still half-asleep. He slumped when he read the time. Seriously? He didn't want to get up. He felt a hand on his back and he smiled to himself. He turned back over to see Donna smiling at him. Josh rested his head back on the pillow and sighed.
"Hi." she whispered her hands finding his chest.
"Hi." he whispered back, placing his hands on her hips. Donna leant forward capturing Josh lips in hers. He sighed when she pulled away. She giggled and pecked his pout.
"You're are too cute, Joshua." She sat up turning away from him. "Come on. Time to get up."
He groaned falling back against the pillow. "But I don't wanna!"
Donna giggled. She grabbed her clothes from her drawer in Josh's apartment. She walked to the door of the bathroom and pulled it open.
"Hey!" Josh called from the bed. "Where are you going?"
"To get dressed." She said laughing.
"Why don't you just get changed out here?" Josh asked wiggling his eyebrows. Donna rolled her eyes.
"I'm not even going to answer that." she said hurrying into the bathroom. Josh slid off the bed and stumbled to his closet. He filed through his oversized suits and picked out a black one. He quickly got changed and fell back onto the bed. Josh sat up when Donna exited the bathroom wearing a little black dress. She walked slowly over to her drawer again and pulled out a purple scarf.
"Wow." Josh said smiling at Donna who was blushing furiously.
"What." she said tucking her long blonde hair behind her ear. She scrambled past Josh, who was still admiring her from the bed, and grabbed a pair of black heels.
"You look beautiful." He said standing and walking over to her. He stopped behind her at the mirror where she was putting on her jewellry. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her bright red cheek.
"It's nothing special." she whispered turning her face back to him. "It's just a dress."
"You look beautiful in anything Donnatella." he said shrugging. She twisted her body around to face him, placing her hands on his chest.
"I love you." she whispered her eyes glued to her hands.
"Yeah?" He placed one of his hands under her chin and lifted her head up. He searched her bluey-green eyes.
"Yeah." She repeated smiling shyly. Josh grinned back.
"God you do not know how much I've wanted to hear you say that." He pulled her in for a kiss. She smiled against his lips. He pulled away and placed a kiss on her head.
"So..." She whispered biting her lip. He laughed pulling her closer.
"I love you too Donnatella." Josh's pager buzzed from the nightstand. They both sighed simultaneously. Donna let go of Josh and kissed his cheek.
"We should probably be going." Donna said turning around. Josh grabbed her before she had the chance to walk away.
"No." he said turning her around.
"No?" she said raising an eyebrow at him. "Someone obviously needs you." she said gesturing her to the pager.
"Those people aren't important." He placed his head on Donna's shoulder and wrapped his arms around her.
"By those people do you mean The President-elect? Because I would say he's pretty important." she laughed pushing Josh away. Josh considered this for a moment.
"Well yeah, I guess, but you're so much more..."
"Beautiful? Smart? Interesting?" Donna interrupted. Josh pulled her closer to him and she placed her hands on his chest.
"Well," his eyebrows furrowed as he searched for a reply. "Yeah." he said, after a moment, shrugging.
"Yeah?" Donna questioned running her fingers in circles around his chest.
"Yeah." Josh's pager buzzed again from the nightstand and he released his arms from around Donna. They parted, grabbing their things and headed for the door.
"Hey Josh?" she whispered as they walked out the door.
"Hey Donna?" he said laughing.
"Okay, can you be serious for one moment?" Josh nodded searching Donna's eyes. "Good. You know when you told me, you loved me? In Hawaii? Were you being honest? Because just then, I was being serious. Deadly serious. I've just got to know if you feel the same way because it would hurt to much if you didn't." she rambled. She finished breathless and her eyes were welling with tears.
"Donna, please don't cry. Of course I feel the same way about you. You think that I'm lying? Donna do you think that's somethings I usually say to people? I meant it. I really did." He pulled Donna into his arms. She burst into tears burying her head in his neck. "Why are you crying?"
"Because I love you." she mumbled into his shirt. They were standing in the middle of the sidewalk, the only things keeping them warm was their coats and the arms of the other person. Pedestrians were giving them strange looks as they went past and Josh glared right back at them. He hadn't really understood what they meant. She was crying because she loved him? He thought she was supposed to happy and smiling at him with her toothy-lopsided smile. It was because for her this wasn't just a relationship. It was everything. He was her everything and had been for almost 9 years. He gave her a career, second chances and a home. She lifted her head and looked up at Josh. He smiled his dimpled smile and pecked her cheek. "Come on." she said taking his hand in hers. As they began to walk she couldn't help but stare at there hands clasped together. It a felt so new. It felt so good to be his. She smiled to herself. Although she knew it wasn't always going to be easy, nothing was, she knew that as long as had him, she would be ok.
