Summary: Josh shows some jealousy during the ambassadorial reception.
Notes: This puppy literally wrote itself after watching "The Drop In"
for the first time. Thanks to Anik for giving it a read-through to
make sure I didn't have everyone sounding strange. :)
-----------------------
Josh walked over to Donna who was leaning against a column, drinking a
glass of champagne. He observed where she was looking and found, to his
annoyance, that it was directly at Lord Marbury.
"You know, it's impolite to stare," he stated, leaning toward her as
he spoke.
Her gaze turned to her boss and she grinned. "Would you rather I go
drool on him in person?"
He frowned. "Throwing yourself at a man is not exactly the best way to
get his attention."
Donna laughed. "Obviously you've never thrown yourself at anyone."
Josh's frown deepened. "Donna, you're not actually going..."
She sighed, "Really, Josh.." She walked away in search of a full
glass, Josh on her heels.
"What I mean is, I wouldn't want you to get hurt, you know, by some
wacko.."
The blonde could barely contain her mirth at his comment. She leaned
towarad him. "You were thisclose to being sweet," she stated, keeping
her fingers close together in demonstration. Donna picked up a new glass
from the table and gestured to Josh with it. "But you are still cute as
hell when you're jealous."
Josh's mouth opened in to a surprised 'o' position, and it took him a
few seconds to respond. Seeing the gleam of mischief in her eyes, he
snorted, then said, "I am in no way jealous of that man."
"Who's he not jealous of?" CJ questioned as she slid in beside her
co-workers, grabbing a glass of champagne and taking a quick sip.
"Lord Marbury," Donna answered.
"I'm not jealous," Josh replied, "just concerned how Donna's behaviour
toward a whack-job like him might give him the wrong impression."
"Oh, you are *so* jealous!" CJ commented with glee.
"Okay, is this some 'Sisterhood' thing to make me crazy?" he asked,
looking between CJ and Donna.
The two women laughed.
"No, Josh, not a 'Sisterhood' thing. You're jealous, plain and
simple."
Donna took a quick sip of her champagne before adding, "And maybe I
want him to get the wrong impression."
"Amen to that!" CJ exclaimed, clinking glasses with the blonde.
Josh watched in amazement as the two women finished off their drinks
and grabbed another glass.
"And you tell *me* to watch how much I drink."
"That's because you have a..." Donna began.
"Don't say it!" he interrupted, holding a finger up to his assistant.
"...delicate system," CJ finished, clinking glasses again with Donna
as they chuckled.
Josh made a face. "Remind me again why I hired you?" he queried,
looking at Donna.
"Because I'm the only person who could stand you and organize your
life without becoming a doormat."
He seemed taken aback by her response, but realized that she was
right. Of course he wasn't about to agree with her. Not in public.
"Well, this has been fun, but I feel the need to mingle. A certain
British ambassador looks like he could use some distracting," CJ
commented. She looked at the younger woman. "Care to join me Donna?"
The blonde beamed at the taller woman. "I would love to."
As the women walked away, Josh mumbled, "Give a guy a funny accent and
women suddenly forget themselves."
"The jealousy act is slowly getting tired, Joshua," Donna threw out
over her shoulder. Josh's face registered surprise that she had heard
him.
"I am not jealous!" he called after her, gaining the attention of
others in the room. He flushed pink in embarassment, then turned and
picked up a glass, muttering to himself, "Well, I'm not."
