Couch's Episode: Where alcohol is involved, silence slowly goes away.

Last one! :) Same disclaimer's rights applied here. I won't even bother to claim this series since it will never happen in my lifetime. Unless I get frigginly rich but when will that happen?

"And that's that." she concluded, gulping down a glass of Cristal. "God, Harvey, this is good."

"It's Cristal." He said but he was drinking Scotch. "I find it girly though but most of my female friendslike it so I keep a stash, just in case."

As Donna narrated the rest of the story, they found themselves now sitting on Harvey's luxurious couch. Harvey offered alcohol to which Donna happily obliged. More like begged in Harvey's mind.

"So I'm that kind of friendright now?" She mused.

"Don't even try to flirt with me, miss." He laughed. "And no. You're not a friend."

They cleared a few more shots as the night goes on. Not one of them said a word. They were taking solace with each other's silence but of course where alcohol is involved, silence slowly goes away.

Donna smiled. "Then what am I?"

"Huh" Harvey asked.

"If I am not a female friendmaterial, what am I for you to serve me Cristal?" she grinned.

"Donna." Harvey said then downed his scotch.

"Yeah?" She said, a bit tipsy now.

"Donna." He repeated.

"Yeah?" She repeated.

"I mean you're Donna."

"Yes, Harvey. It is a universally established fact that my name is Donna. Or was I supposed to be someone else?"

"You know what... Just forget it." He laughed. He the rubbed his bruised jaw.

Donna leaned on Harvey's shoulder, something both of them not accustomed to daily but the action was still there when needed. "I'm still sad about the whole thing getting canceled though."

"You don't deserve such an insecure guy like that." He said. Donna smiled. "He's such a hypocrite."

"Stop making me feel better, Specter." She laughed. "Technically you're the reason that this whole wedding was called off. Take responsibility."

"Then let's get married!" He raised his glass. She touched her glass with his and they both took down a swig.

"Already took care of that." She said, amused. "We've been married for five years."

Harvey pulled a face of confusion. "And then you're going to marry another guy? That's not legal here."

"Stop whining. I was suppose to divorce you the day before the wedding, lest the priest would not marry us." She chuckled then looked glum. "That was a joke you know. You're drunk."

"Haha, so are you, Donna." He retorted. "Evident by your sudden bounce back and then you're going to be miserable again next morning."

"That's called a hungover dumb ass."

"Don't call me dumb ass." He complained. "Admit that you are enjoying this moment right now."

"You have that effect on me, Harvey." She began to slur. "You make me forget all my other problems."

"I'm that of a peace keeper in your mind, huh?" He grinned. He felt Donna shake her head against his shoulder.

"Nope." She explained. "You're a problem yourself. Of catastrophic proportions might I add. Needs too much attention. Like the impending doom."

"2012 is still two years ahead. AND HEY!" He protested.

Donna intertwined her arm around Harvey's then started to rub his forearm. "I should go home, now, buddy. Before something happens."

Harvey turned his head towards Donna. "What? You mean like this?"

He thrust his head towards Donna, who was looking at him directly at the same time. It was unintentional for Harvey meant to act the typical drunk and start to act dizzy and disoriented. He was actually already disoriented.

But the contact of their lips was indescribable. Yes it was painful especially for Harvey but to both of them there was no turning back.

They were kissing and not one of them gave a damn about their problems.

Harvey was clearly enjoying everything that he stomached the pain that he was receiving from his busted lip and bruised jaw. Good thing that the woman he was making out with knew where avoid but still had that kissing proficiency to make it enjoyable albeit his condition right now. He started to rub her knee and cheek while Donna simply put her hands on his chest.

Donna began to lie down. Harvey was pushing her down and she found herself completely on the comfort of the couch and that the mercy of Harvey Specter. Sure she could kick his ass right now for he was already beaten like a dog but every part of her body protested against it.

She felt something hardening and she reached down to rub it. But someone stopped her.

"Donna." Harvey called while still having her mouth on his. It was probably a question.

Are you sure? If you do that then we are going to finish this.

She hesitated. All those accusations that her ex threw at her suddenly filled her being.

How many more years until you two realize that you'd want something more? That he'd want to do something more than close mergers.

It was not Harvey who was the problem.

And Nickolas Pending knew all along.

A lump formed inside her throat while her guilt twisted the feelings inside. She pushed Harvey away.

She immediately grabbed her things and left without saying a word. A drunk Harvey looked disappointed but he was too weak, lightheaded and dizzy to do anything about Donna so he slept it off the couch, letting himself drop like like a shot man. He immediately went unconscious.

The next morning, Donna was disheveled. She prepared a resignation form. She remembered clearly what almost happened at Harvey's condo and she was pretty sure that Harvey won't let that go. Funny how she tried to fight for this job with disastrous results then she just went up and decide to quit when she made out with her boss.

But maybe that was the point.

When she arrived at her station, Harvey was already there, still looking beaten up. Good thinking for him to go to work early so a few people can see his face. And he was also not in a good mood, judging from the scowl he was wearing.

She sucked it up then went inside. She quietly approached him and laid the paper there.

Harvey read it and she saw the shock on his face. "Why are you resigning?"

"Because of what happened last night."

"Look Donna. It won't be as easy as that considering you don't have a fiance to go back to."

"What do you mean?" She was sure that she should be offended but all she could feel was relief. "And I'm offended."

"I'm sorry Donna but we both know your ex fiance was a dick... Or was that ass? Anyway, isn't this what it is all about? Nickolas Pending making you quit?"

"Uhm... Yes." She quietly said. In her mind she was asking herself of the possibilities of him not remembering their almost sex last night. She was still lucky after all.

"Donna, I'm having a huge hungover right now and I'm still waiting for Jessica to kill me for... this."

"You just gestured to the all of you."

"Exactly." Harvey tore the resignation form. "Go back to work."

And she was about to but she turned around and asked, "Why did you punch first?"

"Not relevant."

"Yes it is."

Harvey sighed. "Fine. As I have said, to defend you. And to get revenge."

"For what?"

"Irrelevant."

Just as Donna was about to say something else, Jessica entered the room to check up on the merger case that she and Harvey were working on. And she almost jumped when she saw him. "What the shit happened to you?"

Harvey looked at Donna and she nodded, clearing the room and she closed the door. Of course, she would be listening to the conversation anyway so what's the point?

It is nice to be back, she whispers to herself. She grinned as she listened to Jessica threaten Harvey to throw him off the room through the windows right now.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH. WHAT DID YOU DO TO DONNA?"

"What? You going to pick her up now? Typical. Are you banging her right now? Remember, I was there first, you manwhore."

Harvey sent two of Nicky's teeth flying out of his mouth.

Nicky's friends held him as he was pummeled by strong punches. One of them took a plank of wood from a nearby dumpster and gave it to Nicky.

Harvey was down on the ground on his knees. He tried to fight them off but to no avail. He didn't notice Nicky in front of him holding a piece of long wood.

"Goodnight, wanker."

The wood broke on Harvey's head in one hit, sending him to dreamland right away. They just left him there.

~ It was early in the year, yeah, he knows. But this was important. He let himself lean on the slab of stone. He raised the shot glass.

"Almost slept with my bestfriend, dad." Harvey announced. "Thank you for the guidance. I don't know what kind of heavenly power you sent the both of us, not that I believe in God that much but it might have been hard to go back on that. You must be saying right now you bastard, you enjoyed it." And Harvey chuckled to himself. "I guess I did. Too bad, then, huh?"

I kind of rushed this, midterms are coming up :P

Thank you for everybody who gave their patience to me. Getting excited with how the series is going.
