'Thanks...,' she hisses. It's all she can say because she is out of breath and also shocked.

'You're still sleepy huh? I must've been really comfortable,' Harvey grins.
'Duh Harvey get over it!' Donna scruffs.
'Let's get you to the hotel so you can rest. it's late and I know you need a beauty-sleep,' Harvey's smile seems confident like he's signalizing her that he knows her so well that he doesn't even ask her he just claims to know.
'True,' she just sighs.
They got into a cab. They didn't have a lot of luggage with them so there was no problem with the transport. Harvey just took it all without Donna asking him to do so. She was actually damn shocked about his behavior but she didn't care because I mean... She didn't have to carry her luggage. Huge relief.


Arriving at the hotel about 20 minutes later Donna suddenly notices how tired she really is. She is totally beat and it seems like Harvey has some kind of sense for this. He immediately shortens any kind of necessary conversation and tries to get their - yes fortunately or unfortunately their – hotel-room. They get into the elevator, up to the 21st floor. As they exit the elevator Donna gives Harvey a puzzled look:
'Are we on the same floor?' Donna seems certainly confused. She obviously didn't pay attention to what the receptionist had just told them.
'Uhm honey... I'm sorry to be one telling you this... And by the way I shouldn't be the one mentioning it but you obviously did not deem it necessary to listen to the lovely woman at the reception ... We have to share a room. Something went wrong with the booking ...,' Harvey took a deep breath. He usually doesn't talk that much especially not that fast.
Donna is speechless. At least it seems so. She never is... Harvey is honestly concerned.
'Well, shall we?' He asks with a simple grin on his face, while he's unlocking the door.
Donna simply pushes Harvey aside and enters the apartment first.
'I'm a real gentleman huh? Seems like I look like I'd let you in first so you took the opportunity to enter first, right?'
'Indeed charmer,' she waves without even turning her head. She already knows that he's giving her the look.
He can't stop himself from bursting out laughing. Harvey is actually relieved that she is not mad at him. He hopes that they both just try to make the best out of it. High expectations.


When Harvey enters the room he finds Donna already laying the huge bed. Her eyes are closed. 'Well it's not that hard to get you into bed huh?' His laugh sounds full of sexual tension. 'Don't even! I'm so tired I don't even listen to the things you say and I don't even care about what you do just let me sleep already!' She exclaims. 'I can unpack later,' she frowns.
'Sure thing. So what was that about you saying that you don't care what I do?' He raises his voice. 'I never said anything like this,' she smiles.
'I'm just gonna lay down beside, okay? Because I'm damn tired myself and I can't afford sleeping on this little couch over there. My back already hurts like hell. How do you feel?' His voice sounding honest and caring.
'I know exactly what you mean but... Just come to bed, it feels like heaven, I'm not lying! Try it,' she cuddles herself further into the sheets.
His heart skips a beat. She just said 'come to bed' ... I honestly hoped the first time she would say this to me would have a different meaning but also… I never expected her to really ever say this to me... Maybe only in my dreams.. So this is a pretty good day so far. Cuddling in the plane and now sleeping in one bed.
Harvey takes of his suit within seconds. He lays it down on a chair discovering Donnas' cloths on the other chair. He smirks. The jeans, the jacket and the... The bra?
The bra? She's lying in bed with only panties and a shirt on? Oh my... Don't even think about it Specter! You're tired and all you want to do is sleep. Just do it.
He turns off the lights and slips under the covers of his side of the giant bed.
There is more than enough room for both of them. There is even a little gap possible but he doesn't want there to be one so he tries to roll over as silent as possible, closer to her. By the time he is feeling her presence, her warmth he is laying on his back, resting his head on the comfortable pillow. The pillow really is comfortable but it's not enough for him. He thinks back to the flight where he was able to rest his head on Donnas' and that was sweeter than anything he'd experienced so far and he knows that he wants to experience this again. As soon as possible. Harvey slightly tilts his head so he can look over his right shoulder. It's pretty dark but there is a glimpse of moonlight shining through the curtains which helps him getting a view at the beautiful redhead. He always thought that redheads were sexy but none of them was as sexy as Donna as a matter of fact. He moves his left hand in the direction of Donnas' hair. Carefully caressing them. Harvey feels the softness of Donnas' hair and he's blown away. Sadly he had forgotten how heavenly they felt.
What he also doesn't know is that Donna is still awake and she feels his touch but actually she is way too tired to say something and somehow she doesn't care. It does not feel too bad to say the least. She allows herself to close her eyes and enjoy his touch. This is the first time in a long time she let's herself go with him. A small 'hmmmhm' escapes her lips and Harvey freezes. Fuck! Is she awake? What am I gonna do? Should I just stop or simply keep going? Will she say something? Uhhh this was a bad idea... I just can't keep my hands off her... Wait hold on... She sounded like she liked it... I think she even enjoys it! Harvey genuinely smiles.
After some time Donna notices her shoulder is aching. Only problem is she would have to turn around and face Harvey if she would want to lie on her left shoulder. She can't stand the aching any longer so she decides to switch sides. Slowly turning around, scared to face Harvey. In the same second Harvey feels a slight pull under his hand... The hand on Donnas' hair. He takes his hand away unsure of what's happening next. As Donna shifts Harvey is tensed. When she finally finds the spot she wants to lay on Harvey relaxes his muscles. He somehow is a bit sad that she didn't want to cuddle up at his side. But what did he expect? Why should she do this? There is nothing between them. He only wishes.


Donna smells Harvey she is practically hypnotized by the smell. All she wants to do is sneak up closer to him and curl herself into his arms. This is strange for her because she knows it's Harvey she's laying next to and that fact already is more than strange. She never lay next to him in any case. Only that one night. But he didn't stay over Night so they didn't sleep next to each other and they didn't cuddle in any way any time. She wouldn't do that.
But something is different tonight - maybe it's that she's so super tired she just wants to lay comfortable or maybe it's the foreign country or maybe it's even the kind of hot fact that they are in a hotel-room. She doesn't know. She doesn't want to think about it... She doesn't care.
She makes her 'way' in Harvey's direction. Finally when her nose softly pokes at Harvey right arm she realizes what she is actually doing now but there's no way to return now she already touched him. No backing off.
Harvey suddenly feels a ticklish feeling on his right arm and it's then he realizes it is Donna who tickles him. He simply smiles. After a few seconds he gets it: she wants him to wrap his arm around her so she can rest on his chest. I'd love to.
He pulls up his arm and makes some space between them to let her make the next step.
She notices that his arm brushes past her nose... He wants me to lie on his chest? Why not probably comfortable.
She smoothly makes her way up Harvey's chest. Quickly resting her head in his chest and yes, of course it's comfortable. Damn its way too comfortable. It shouldn't be like this...
He senses that she just found the spot she wants to lay on so he slowly wraps his arm around her back. When he made it, he rests his hand lightly on her back. Awaiting her reaction.
Donna feels his hand on her back and she thinks it's just fine because that's surely the most comfortable position for his hand when he has to carry the weight of her on his chest. So she just smiles into his chest.
He immediately notices it... She smiles... Let's try something... I shouldn't push my luck but I can't stop myself anyways.
Harvey starts stroking her back and he loves it and he never wants to stop it.
Donnas' smile widens as she feels the first caress of Harvey's hand. It's soft, pure, and honest. It relaxes her and she feels like she's about sleep in on him.
Sorry big boy I'm too tired... She giggles as silent as possible.
Harvey takes her little giggle as a positive reaction so he automatically kisses her forehead.
Oh shit that was definitely too much, I have to apologize...
He feels that his hands are starting to sweat a little bit.
She loves it and she is way over the point of caring what she is doing or more what he is doing and who she is doing something with. Her answer is simple and quick: she gives him a light, short kiss on his chest and then lays back down.
Wow... The only idea Harvey can create in his mind right now. He always thought there wouldn't be more that would shock him and take his breath away about Donna but she is a wonderful mystery that he would love to discover. He wants to get to know all the little things he does not already know. She probably doesn't even know that Harvey always pays a lot of attention to what she told him all the past years.
After some time Donnas' shoulder hurts again and she has to change position again. Harvey really is comfortable that's why she doesn't wanna switch positions again but she has to ... her shoulder aches too much. She turns around gripping Harvey's arm between hers and still kind of laying on his shoulder. So she simply moves Harvey along with her. He slowly awakes and notices the change of position and roles over to lie on his right shoulder, too.
His nose touching her hair. There is it again the beautiful smell. He pulls his left arm around her belly. Slightly caressing the skin. He softly tries to pull her closer to him. Pushing at her waist. She moves backwards - her back cuddling into his front. That's how they sleep till the next morning.


At about 9.30 AM Harvey wakes up.
Sunlight creeps into their room. As he opens up his sleepy eyes he discovers Donna.
Oh... It wasn't just a dream? This is really happening, I can't... He loosens his grip around her waist and turns around... He can't move that much anyways because she is still sleeping on his right arm and he doesn't wanna wake her. He takes a look at the watch standing on the nightstand. 'Shit!' He exclaims in a whisper. Harvey slowly tries to move his arm away from Donna. He's trying really hard not to wake her. A relieving breath escapes his lips when he manages to do so. He gets up, picking up his phone. He calls the secretary from the client and tells her he is really sorry and if there's a possibility to move the meeting. She lets him know that 10.30 would suit the client. He is relieved. Just as he lays down the phone he hears Donna moan. Oh come on... It worked till now... I even went outside to make the call.. Can't be that the damn laying down of the phone woke her up now.
So much for that. It actually didn't wake her up, she already woke up the second Harvey pulled his arm off her. She was just way too sleepy and tired to say a word or even make a sound. 'Look, I'm sorry,' Harvey scruffs.
'So sweet, Specter. What happened to you?' Donna laughs.
'Oh come on, you seemed so peaceful even cute laying there I really didn't wanna wake you,' Harvey says.
'I am absolutely not cute, get that?' She furiously counters.
'Haha see, even that is cute. Get over it. Now get out of the bed. It's unfair that you are still able to relax while I have to get ready for that damn meeting,' he cries out.
'Duh Harvey, that's what you're here for. And by the way you're pretty late. You know that right?' She informs.
'Nah, moved the meeting to 10.30 still 50 minutes left'
'How did you do that without me? I mean like you had the right idea and you even managed to convert this idea into something productive. I'm shocked and proud at the same time!' Donna smirks.
'No comment. You can say whatever you want anyways... This trip is like the most amazing vacation ever for you... You can just go to the beach today... How unfair is that like seriously?'
'Good idea, totally forgot where we are,' Donna smiles widely.
'Can we go to the beach together?' Suddenly his voice sounds way more serious and almost begging.
'Harvey... You got work to do, don't be stupid,' Donna is surprisingly confused.
'The meeting will be over in like an hour and a half, no worries,' Harvey explains.
'Well ... If that's what you wanna do in your free time... Spend time with your secretary, go ahead. I'll probably already go to the beach while you're attending this meeting you can just join me at the beach then I guess?' She asks, her voice getting thinner.
'I'd love to. I'll surely find you... You're the beautiful redhead,' Harvey blurs out.
She is just shocked. He just gave her a real compliment and she didn't even have to force it out of him. And he said it with the most seriousness she has ever seen in his face and ever heard in his voice. She is speechless.
'So if that's settled I'm looking forward to a wonderful day at the beach. I go take a shower now,' and with that Harvey disappears into the bathroom.
Donna lays flat on the bed. She thinks back to last night - bad idea.
It wasn't that bad right? We were just tired and tried to sleep as comfortable as possible. I'm really trying to make this work. I'm not expecting anything from Harvey anyways but that compliment ... I'd never expected that from him. I guess I shouldn't over think it and just be happy. Just in that moment it occurred to her: oh my... I can go to the beach now! Donna jumps up and down the hotel-room. She quickly packs her stuff and puts on her bikini.
It was a plain black bikini. Not a lame one a sexy one of course. A strapless top and a v-shaped bottom. No worries that you can't see enough skin. Donna doesn't care, nobody here knows her, today she just wants to be unrestrained. Back at home she never has the time to feel this sexy and there is never an opportunity to go swimming. Maybe she meets some sexy stranger. She has to grin at the thought. Then again she couldn't come home with the guy ... There's only one bed in which also Harvey has to sleep in. Well if the guy doesn't have a room himself he's not worth wasting my time anyways.
She packs her bag for the beach. She takes a towel, sun-milk, an iPod and a book.
Their hotel is close to the beach so she just decides to walk down.
She quickly finds a neat spot where she places her towel. It's already pretty hot but she knows if she waits another hour it'll be even hotter and the water will be cooler then.
She puts on her sun glasses; lying down on the towel she rests her head on the bag using it like a pillow. She takes out her iPod and her book. Putting the headphones in, she clicks on shuffle and just lets the music play. The book she starts reading is called 'silver linings playbook' she read about it online and she saw that there will be a major motion picture soon with Jennifer Lawrence who she adores. She finishes the first two chapters within minutes and she already likes it and doesn't wanna stop reading. Time passes by so fast she doesn't even notice.
After about an hour Donna sleeps in her book lying beside her. Her headphones still plugged in.


At the same time Harvey just exits the building in which he first met the new client. He takes a look at his watch: around 12 pm. She surely is still at the beach I was smart enough to take my bathers and everything I need at the beach with me. He is on his way.
