22. Bed (post canon~New York)

Harvey just got out of the washroom, ready to turn in for the night when he found Donna standing by the foot of the bed, already in her sleepwear. Her hands are on her waist and is deep in her thoughts.

"Are you thinking about a new position? Because I can still go another round" he teased. She just rolled her eyes on him and didnt answer.

"Hey..what's what's going on?" He went up to her and scanned her face. He knows there's something wrong.

"Huh? Nothing. Let's sleep" she sighed and went to her side of the bed and lied down.

"Donna" he warned. She knows the tone he used. It a reminder that she promised him to tell him everything that's going on in her life. She sat up the bed and replied,

"It's nothing. It's silly."

He's not giving up until he gets an answer so he didnt move and stood by the foot of the bed with his arms crossed by his chest.

"Fine" she exhaled. "I was just thinking that we should buy a new bed" she answered but she cant look at him directly.

"A new bed?! Why is this not comfy for you?"

"No i-it's not that. It's just I feel like-"

He cut her off "A lot of women have slept here?" He chuckled.

"See! I know it's silly! Ignore what I said. I'm gonna sleep" She lied down and covered her face with the comforter. He sat down to her side of the bed.

"No! No I - If that's what you want then we'll buy a new one"

"No. It's silly" she said under the comforter. He pulled the sheets from her face. "It's not silly. I know where you're coming from. I mean you know my track record with women. So if you want a new bed then we'll get a new one. We dont even have to sleep here tonight if you're not comfortable with it" He said, this time he's serious.

"Where do you propose we sleep then?" She sat up again and asked him seriously.

"The sofa? Your apartment? Or we can book a hotel"

"The sofa no. You probably did it there too, my apartment's not a bad idea though"

"Hold on. If I'm changing my bed, you should change yours too!"

"Hey! My track record is not as bad as yours!" She chuckled, and suggested "Let's just sleep here then tomorrow we'll shop for a new bed and pillows! I need new pillows!"

"Okay. We'll buy new stuff tomorrow. Anything you need Donna." He said. He asked her to move over so they could both lie down and he hugged her from the back.

"But just so you know, I've bought a new bed already before you moved in. This one's new" he whispered. It was probably a day or two after they got together when he thought about it. Because all he wants is Donna to be happy and comfortable in his place. Or their place.

She turned around to face him with a surprised expression.

"You did?! What about the pillows?"

"Did too"

"The sheets?"

"The sheets, this comforter, everything. Well except for the bedframe. I told you i'm in this for the long haul Donna..AND because I know this conversation will happen..Oh did I just Donna you?!" He said amused with himself.

She smiled and just shook her head.

"Well I'm glad you're learning the skill after 12 years"

"No. It's just because I love you"

"I love you too" she said and held his face. "But we're still buying a bed frame though" she added.

"A new bed frame it is"

They didnt just buy a bed frame. They also bought a house.

In Seattle.

End.
