Chapter 21
"OK, so I've been giving this a lot of thought and I know exactly how you need to look tonight" Henry declared as they walked through the doors of Bergdorf Goodman. "Do I get a say in it?" Alex asked. "No" came his reply. She shot him a look and they both laughed.
"Well Harvey will be pleased about that because he likes how you dress me. Well, he liked the disco pants!" Alex said then asked "so which way?" "Follow me" Henry ordered.
"Tah dah" he motioned with a flourish as they reached the Herve Leger dresses. "You think?" Alex asked. "I know" he declared.
"One of the longer ones, in a darker colour. You'll look fabulous" he explained. Alex knew better than to argue and to be honest, Henry was almost always right when it came to fashion.
Alex tried on a few of the form fitting dresses but Henry wasn't happy yet. "You're bangin' body makes them look too slutty and obvious" he'd declared much to the amusement of the sales assistant "Keep going" he'd ordered and waved his arm in the air. "Oh my god! That's it. That's the one" he shouted when Alex came out wearing her favourite of the bunch. It was a signature tight bandage dress in dark blue, almost navy blue. Knee length with a deep v-neckline. The v was repeated on the back where a zipper ran the length of the dress. It was simple but very sexy. "Your boobs look amazing! Harvey's gonna have a heart attack" Henry declared.
Harvey had made a point of leaving the office on time to allow him enough time to get ready for their date without having to rush. He hated rushing. He stood in his closet with a towel around his waist trying to decide what to wear. He had a new grey suit that he hadn't worn yet. It wasn't a work suit, it was cut a bit slimmer than those and he hadn't had an occasion to wear it to yet. He pulled out a fitted white shirt and examined his choice. Perfect, he thought. Alex was going to look amazing tonight no matter what she wore, Harvey thought. But knowing that she'd gone shopping with Henry to buy an outfit especially for their date; Harvey knew she was going to look extra special so he needed to make a special effort too. Plus he liked dressing up, liked how expertly tailored suits made him feel.
They'd agreed to meet at the Long Bar; it seemed appropriate. Harvey took a seat at the bar and texted Alex to let her know he was there. Her reply said simply 'Make mine a Cosmo' Harvey smiled and ordered her drink. Harvey watched the door to the bar and the corridor beyond as he sipped his drink. A few minutes later she made her entrance. Yet again, she blew him away. She always looked beautiful and sexy, but he'd never seen her looking this sexy.
She had on a figure hugging dress that showed her curves off to perfection, but she still looked classy at the same time. Her hair was in loose waves just how he liked it. He also noticed that she had on her now infamous blue shoes with a matching bag. He was going to have to work hard at controlling himself this evening he thought to himself as a smile escaped across his lips.
"You look happy! Alex noted as she approached Harvey. "How could I not be, I mean, look at you" he said motioning towards her from head to toe. "You look ridiculously hot" he said in a low voice as he pulled Alex in for a kiss. God he hoped he'd be getting in that elevator with her tonight.
This is my first fanfic so I'd really appreciate any feedback and reviews. Thanks for reading!
