Chapter I: Stains

"Thank you, Harvey, I knew I'd always trust you" The tall man with a chiseled face and perfect brown eyes in a perfect grey suit offered Harvey a hand.

"Anytime, I will work on it and I'd say we have a pretty good chance on getting back your suppliers." Harvey grinned and accepted the man's gratitude.

As the client was about to exit Harvey's office, Harvey told the guy to have drinks with him sometimes.

"Sure, anytime, we'd be working on this case, we need to get along just fine, Harvey" The guy replied as he strides out of his office fading from Harvey's vision.

At the hallway, Donna is walking at a gallop, with star bucks coffee on hand and her buzzing phone on the other. Engaged in her emails she did not mind the people coming her way. In a snap, she crashed against a man in a perfect suit. Her coffee spilled, her phone on the ground, bleeping every second. An awkward silence between the two arose. The man with all coffee spilled over his suit and Donna's white dressed was also a mess.

"Shit, It was my fault, I'm sorry" Donna examines the situation again. Her eyes furrowed by the accident she caused and nervously laughs.

"Oh, hey, hmm, no, I-I-I was not looking either, ugh, I'm sorry for your coffee" The man was amused by Donna's reaction and it made him smirked by how uneasy Donna is.

"It's perfectly fine, you don't have to worry, In fact, I'm sorry I stained your dress" he added with a twinkle in his eye.

"You don't have to worry as well, I was not looking on my way, I apologize" She replied with a comforting look on her face. Donna could not understand what she felt at that time, by the way, the man smiled with a sweet-tendered voice as he talks, Donna did not mind what just happened"

"By the way, I have to go, see you around. And I'll make up to you soon" the man replied as he leaves her.

Grinning from to ear to ear, she could not reply as fast as she could. She did not understand why such an accident could not immediately bring back her senses. She wanted to bid farewell and thank the guy for being gentle but the beat of her heart stopped her from doing it.

Harvey in his office swamped with the paperwork on his desk obviously did not want to be interrupted but Donna marched in without even knocking. Surprised by her presence, Harvey, in a flash, dropped the files he was reading.

He ridiculously cried in laughter the second he saw Donna.

"Okay, okay, Yes, I look like shit, can you stop laughing now" She replied annoyingly as she grabbed a box of tissue on Harvey's desk."

"What happened Donna? Why do you look awful?

"Awful?! are you serious? I'm still can rock this Chanel dress with stain, Specter"

"Looks, like someone, is annoyed, yeah you can definitely rock that coffee flavored Chanel dress"

"Are you done?" She replied gloating her eyes and looking Harvey with daggers in her face.

"You really are cute when you get annoyed, Don" he calmly responded

"I'm always cute all the time, look, I just really need your help"

"okay, how can I help?"

"Can I take a shower at your apartment? I mean it's closer than mine and traffic might eat my office hours. Plus, do you still have my red Dior dress in your apartment? the one I never had worn because I accidentally left it when I paid you a visit after I went shopping." She asks Harvey like a child and her cheeks turned red as she convinced Harvey to let her use his bathroom"

"Yeah, oh that one, yeah I still have it in my "Donna's stuff box", it is at the top shelf of my closet, help yourself there." he replied

"Awwwe, you really are a good friend, I should get all my stuff back, I always leave my things there if I pay a visit"

"Yeah, they are antiques now, and oh before I forget, you still have my Harvard sweatshirt, you did not give it back to me when I paid you a visit after I went jogging"

"Can I have that? I'd bet it really looks cool on me, anyway, thank you for letting me use your apartment" at she leisurely walks out his office.

"But wait, I don't have a copy of your key anymore, remember?" She nervously asks him

"Oh, here you go, and by the way, this afternoon, I'm gonna give introduce you to a client, I want us to take care of this case, he really needs our help. Now, go, clean yourself up now, time is running, see you later." He hands her the key to his apartment.

As Donna fades from his view, Louis came in to hand him a pocketful of documents of the case that they were both working.

"Were you there the entire time?" Harvey asked

"Yeah, I was waiting for the right moment to barge in because duh you'd act like a child if I interrupted you and Donna" Louis responded.

"oh, whatever, thanks for these files" he replied

"I know it's not my place to say this but had it never really occurred to you?"

"Louis, what? never really occurred to you about what?" Harvey asked as he forcibly typed on his keyboard.

"about dating Donna?"

Harvey fixed a blank state at Louis, raising his eyebrows and intimidating his partner.

"And by that look, I should never really have asked, thanks Harvey, I have to take a pee, bye."

When Louis went out like the wind, Harvey leaned back to his chair, he let out a loud sigh and fixed his eyes at New York city's skyline outside his office.
