Hello everyone :-)

First for all I want to welcome all the new followers, thanks a lot.

Tempe4Booth & msgemgem: I seriously didn't think this story was going to create so much confusion about who Harvey is going to end up with, however I love the expectation created so...

This is a mini chapter but hopefully I will post another one soon. Enjoy.

The following day I returned to work but, to be honest, I wasn't focused at all, after what had happened in Harvey's condo I couldn't sleep. This time I left the coffee on his desk and avoided him when he arrived. I needed a few more minutes to prepare myself to see him again. Eventually, when I had gathered enough strength, I grabbed his schedule and walked into his office to read it to him. As soon as I finished I turned again, ready to get the hell out of there.

"Shayleen, wait," he told me, stopping me.

"Yes?" I asked looking at him again. He stared at me a couple of seconds before saying.

"About what happened in my house yesterday..."

"It's okay," I interrupted him, "nothing happened yesterday" I stated, and left the office returning to my desk.

The rest of the day passed in a blur. I made several mistakes, mistakes that I hadn't made not even when I first started, and I kept avoiding Harvey for the time being. Which wasn't so hard because he had to leave the office and didn't come back until hours later. But even then, I could see the way Harvey watched me and it made me feel uneasy. Something had definitely changed between us.

"And then, an alien abducted me," Donna spoke. It was a Friday night, and every single one of them since we met, we had joined to have a few drinks in a bar.

"What?" I asked then.

"And finally you came back," she exclaimed victoriously. "Can I know where you were? Because you, definitely, weren't in this part of the world."

"I don't know what you are talking about Donna" I said taking a sip from my Margarita. She raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah, right. Okay, if you don't wanna tell then I won't insist," she said, and that was my cue to raise an eyebrow. Donna backing off of something? That's new. "I can respect privacy sometimes," she shrugged, "why don't you tell me how yesterday went with my ex-boss. Did you take him to bed?" She asked and I blanked. When she said bed my mind fled immediately to the night before and what had happened. My expression couldn't have been more obvious because she exclaimed. "Oh, my, God! You two did it!"

"What!?" I exclaimed almost chocking with my own saliva. "We did not!"

"Yes, you did!" She insisted. "Just look at yourself, you're utterly flustered!" She added pointing at my face. Well, my face did feel kinda warm.

"We didn't, Donna, we just... kissed. And he was completely wasted, it really didn't count."

"You kissed? Just kiss? Then why are you acting so weird? Oh, my..." she said realizing it. "You wanted more."

"I did not, Donna," I replied looking around to making sure nobody was paying attention to our conversation. "In fact I was the one who stopped it."

"Okay, fine, so now tell me slow and from the beginning what happened."

"There isn't really much to say. I went to the bar to take him home; when I was carrying him to bed we tripped and fell over the bed. Then he told me I was beautiful and started to kiss me. Then I ran away."

"So he made the first move? Very Harvey. But you said he kissed you, did you kiss him back?" She asked. If she wasn't an assistant, Donna could have been a really good lawyer.

"Not at first," I admitted.

"But you did."

"Yes."

"So if you wanted to kiss him, why did you run away?"

"'Cause I didn't expect that, Donna" I exclaimed finally speaking my mind.

"Meaning?"

"When he kissed me, at first I didn't move, I was just waiting for him to stop but... I felt something, Donna. Something I really didn't expect to feel. I fell in love with my boss and I hadn't realized it until he kissed me last night." I admitted to her and to myself for the first time. "I'm screwed, the only good thing about this is that you'll be back soon and I won't have to work with him anymore."

As always, R&R are welcome. So c'mon, spend a minute of your life and make me happy :-D
