HI All! Thank you for continuing to favorite and like this story. I thought I had finished with the last chapter, but I did not feel there was enough closure as to Paula's relationship with Harvey and Donna. I liked writing this chapter. I hope you do, too. Thank you - Carebearmaxi.

Paula, Donna, and Harvey

Chapter 11

The next day at the firm proved to be rather interesting. Donna and Harvey arrived in together he having called Ray to pick him up from Donna's and take him home so he could get dressed for the office. Then he rode back an hour later to pick Donna up so they could ride in together. Ray at once saw the difference in Harvey and was dying to find out the details, but Ray would just bide his time until he saw how events unfolded.

As they both got out of the car, Harvey handing Donna out like the lady she was, Ray said his goodbyes leaving Donna and Harvey staring at one another as they both gazed at the sky as far as their eyes could see.

Donna looked up toward the sky and then at the man who stood next to her. She finally felt a million feet high and not just from wearing her sky high Jimmy Choos. She was in love and hopelessly so only now it was hopefully because he loved her back just as much. He was scared and so was she because she knew how frightened he was of losing her. Luckily she took the first move which maybe she should have done years ago instead of waiting for him to grow up. She took his arm and Harvey grasped it in the crook of his arm and placed a hand over hers where she held him. Donna looked at him and, joyfully, let her guard down and allowed him to see the love in her eyes. Donna could see that in his Harvey's gaze which was usually guarded somewhat no such wall existed now. He kissed her briefly.

"Well, are you ready to start the day, Ms. Paulsen, COO, of Specter Litt?" Harvey asked smiling happily at her.

Donna hung back for a moment and said, "Are you sure you don't want to wait a little before we tell the world our current status."

Harvey gave her a quizzical glance. "Donna, this has been almost 13 years in the making. I don't care what anyone thinks or what those stupid by laws say. You're mine and I want the whole world to know that Harvey Specter finally won the ultimate prize."

"Careful there, Specter, your ego is showing...and I love it," Donna said and kissed him again.

Walking with her hand tucked inside the crook of his arms, Harvey walked with Donna into the firm's building.

At the 50th floor, the doors opened and Harvey and Donna hung back waiting to be the last to get off. Louis met them at the doors.

"Well, it's about time that 1/2 the partnership get here," Louis said and then noticed as Harvey bent toward Donna.

"Excuse me, Louis. I'll deal with the crisis in a minute. There's something I have to do first."

He suddenly took Donna in his arms and turned her to face him. She placed her arms around his neck and their lips came together in a warm, titillating kiss. Louis looked away realizing now the new status of his managing partner and Chief Operations Officer.

After they finished and their gaze from each other was taken away to Louis who stood there and smiled and laughed oddly. Louis, getting on the elevator whose doors just opened, turned around and said, "I need a day."

The doors closed and Donna and Harvey laughed.

Mike had spotted them and started to applaud to which everyone joined in.

"Well, it's about damn time," Gretchen said as she had witnessed her boss leaving at Harvey and Donna's open PDA.

"Ok, people, show's over. Back to work," Harvey said loud and clear. With his hand at the small of her back, Harvey accompanied Donna to her office.

_ "Harvey."

"Paula? How are you?" Harvey asked quietly. Although a thick wall separated their two office, Harvey instinctively took a look to the right as if Donna was standing next to his desk. It was not too far off the truth because Donna came in just as he started to converse with her.

"I'm good, now. I just wanted to say thank you for the last few months. It was nice," Paula said.

Donna came to sit down in front of Harvey's desk. She could tell by the hushed soft tone of his voice that he was talking to Paula. He did not even use that tone with her. When he did speak to her now it was his special voice that he used just for her. At least that was what Donna liked to think having known the man and his ways for so long she just wanted to be secure in his love for her. Donna looked at him and mouthed Paula's name in a question to see if she were correct in her assumption.

Much to her gratification, Harvey nodded positively that it was Paula on the other end of the line.

"The doctors let me go this morning. I am in treatment for depression and have a nice new watchdog to make sure that I don't try suicide again."

Harvey simply nodded.

"Harvey, would you and Donna like to come to my house for dinner sometime soon? I would like to thank her especially for being as good as she was to me. It can't have been easy for her."

Harvey went from his reclining position to immediately sitting up. Donna scooted further up in her chair.

"Paula, let me see how Donna feels about that, ok?"

He put his hand to the receiver and moved forward even more. Donna pushed her chair up further to Harvey's desk and placed the call on hold. She then removed his hand from the receiver and put it back on the handset.

"Don't worry. I didn't hang up on her. Don't you think it's about time you learned for yourself how to put people on hold?" Donna quipped.

Harvey tittered slightly and then smiled. "I think I put people on hold very well. I've had you on hold for 13 years."

"No, you were just scared. It has nothing to do with "hold" unless you'd like to do right now."

Donna then rose and came over to where Harvey sat and slithered onto his lap and kissed him fully on the mouth.

"What about Paula?" Harvey asked sliding into his sexy voice and while he placed kisses on Donna's neck and was working his way down when Donna piped up and said, "You can tell her yes."

"How do you know what you're saying yes to?" Harvey asked as he shifted Donna on his lap as his trousers were growing tighter by the minute.

"Well," Donna said and then started sucking on his ear. "She's wants us to come to dinner to thank you for...being in her life ( Donna nibbled his ear and proceeded down his neck and smoothed back his hair with her hand) and me for saving it."

"You are an amazing woman, Donna," Harvey said with heavy lidded eyes and then he kissed Donna and their kiss was deep and their tongues entwined.

"She's waiting."

"I waited for 13 years. She can wait 13 minutes," Donna said and then straddled his thighs and they continued to kiss deeply for what seemed many minutes but in reality were quick passionate kisses. Then Donna stopped, smiled slyly and removed herself from Harvey's lap. She quickly moved to the other side of the desk and removed her chair as if nothing had just happened.

Harvey on the other hand was good and flustered. He had to take a few deep breaths and calm his wildly beating heart and his tight suit pants before he resumed speaking on the phone with his former girlfriend.

"Harvey? Everything ok?" Paula asked.

"Everything is great. I'm sorry to have put you on hold for so long, but a mini-crisis came up (he popped the "p" on up ). Donna said thank you and that she would not mind coming to dinner."

"Good. Eddie is here and he promised he would cook. He's a far better cook than me."

"Friday , then, around 8?" Harvey asked.

"Surely. Thank you Harvey and thank Donna for me, too."

"You're welcome. See you two on Friday," Harvey said and hung up the phone. He just stared at Donna who had remained like a schoolgirl waiting for a commandment from the principal before moving. He smirked and she smirked.

"Friday at 8. Can we get back to work now?" Harvey asked sarcastically because all he wanted to do was to take Donna right there in his office. Unfortunately that was one of the downs of having glass walls.

"Sure, Harvey. I'll be right next door if you need me," Donna winked teasing Harvey as she flipped her hair and walked back to her office.

Harvey just shook his head and thought: God, I love her!
