Hello people! :)
I wrote this more than 3 months ago, and I never had the courage to publish it (in fact, I have a lot of fics on my Drive), but I feel more secure publishing just ficlets, because I know I have many mistakes in my English. But I decided to face some of my fears and here I'm sharing something.
I hope you enjoy it! :)
The day is very rainy, as usual in their new city. They knew it would be rainy. But.. This is a lot. Donna had already lost the battle between the rain and her hair. At least, that shows her messy bun.
They are on the couch and the fireplace is lit in front of them. They're still wearing the clothes they take when they get up: Harvard T-shirts and underwear.
Harvey is sitting with his feet on the floor and his back on the couch's backrest. Donna with her back on the couch's armrest, her legs over her husband's and her feet rests on the couch. One of Harvey's hands is on Donna's ankle and the other is touching her hand.
It's Sunday, and they are so relaxed, they finished two cups of coffee a few minutes ago, and they are doing nothing in particular, just enjoying the contact with the other one, the sound of the fireplace and the rain outside.
It had become a habit with the months since they had moved to the other side of the country. They've wasted too much time, now they just want to be together, all the time.
"Can I ask you something?" She asks, after a few minutes in silence.
"Donna Paulsen asking permission? This is weird!"
"Can I?"
"Yes…" He lifts his shoulders.
"So…"
"Mhm…?"
"Did you ever masturbate thinking about me?" Donna asks, out of nowhere.
"What? Donna!" He reacts in surprise. Clearly he didn't expect that question.
"What? Don't act like you're innocent. I want to know."
He giggles and lowers his gaze.
"You can say it. I did it more times than I should."
"Me too." He confesses, touching her leg and passing his fingers around her abdomen, under her clothes. "What did you think? That when you came to my old office and you supported your hands on my desk, leaving your cleavage in front of me… Did you not generate anything on me?" She giggles and bites her lip. "Or when you left moving your hips…"
She interrupts him. "Yes, sure! Because when you were wearing only your shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, showing me the muscles either." She responds, touching his arms and raising one of her eyebrows.
"I'm irresistible. What can I say?" He says and she hits on his shoulder, laughing.
"And… During some phone calls at night?"
"No Donna." He says seriously. "Never when we were talking."
"Me neither, but…" She pauses and regrets talking, dodging Harvey's gaze.
"What Donna?"
"Nothing, nothing."
"Donna!"
"What?"
"What were you going to say?"
She sighs. "Once you called me in the middle of the night when I just had an orgasm thinking about you." And she giggles.
"That time when Mike…?"
"Yes, that time."
"Shit! I knew that you were horny that night. I knew it and I told you, but you said no! You're a liar Paulsen!" He says, looking at her.
"I let your jokes pass, because I couldn't take it." She rolls her eyes.
"Some time… Maybe on any trip, we can try it. I mean, at the same time."
"Why not?" She winks her eye.
"Please, I love horny Donna!"
"You say it like I'm boring in bed, you know I'm not." She responds, acting annoyed with her husband.
"Oh… Am I touching your feelings?" He asks, putting his hand on his chest and acting worried.
"Stop it." She says, pointing him with her index finger.
"You're the best... But we can try something new. Right?"
"Yes Harvey, we can." She pauses, and he doesn't say anything. "You're the best too. I need to say it? Or your ego already knows?"
"And what about my feelings now?"
Donna crosses her eyes and says:
"Mmm... Have we ever done it at the same time?"
"Probably."
They giggle, looking at each other with complicity. Donna puts her hand over the back of his neck, playing with his hair.
"Since we are confessing…"
"Oh my God! What?" She asks, eager to know.
"Don't laugh."
"What Harvey?"
"Don't laugh."
"I promise."
"Once, I called Donna to a girl. In bed, being both naked..." He pauses. "While I was having an orgasm inside her." He frowns.
"What?" She asks, laughing very hard.
"Don't be cruel. It was very shameful. And you promised not to laugh!"
But she can't stop, she continues laughing, even with tears.
"You never went through a situation like this?"
"I never told your name to another man... But more than once, I didn't open my eyes, in that way I could imagine that this man was you." She says serious and lifts her shoulders.
Harvey approaches her and kisses her lips, taking her for her cheeks.
"Did you ever have a dream with me?"
"Many times Harvey."
"Dirty dreams?"
She giggles and covers her face with her hands.
"I was waiting for more than a decade man! Of course!"
"I had too."
"Dirty too?"
"Of course, I was waiting too... But, there was one recurrent that made me react."
"Which one?" She wants to know.
"I dreamed that you came to my bed, with two cups of your special coffee, only with my shirt, you sat on my bed, and we started the day together." He pauses and bites the inside of his cheek.
Donna bites her lower lip, looking at him tenderly, and he tucks her hair behind her ear.
"How were we able to endure so long without being together?" She asks.
"I swear, I have no idea." He says, caressing her legs.
Donna closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, throws her head back, and she tries to not do it again, but she laughs anyway.
"Donna!" He says, complaining.
"Harvey!" She responds in the same tone.
"Stop laugh!"
"I'm imaging you and…"
"I remember that you didn't laugh so much when you saw me with other women before."
She rolls her eyes and hits him with a pillow on his shoulder.
"Was she redhead?"
"Who?"
"That girl Harvey… Who else could it be?"
"No. I was never with a redhead."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Why?"
"I think... I always wanted you to be the only one."
Harvey isn't the cutest in the world, nor the most romantic, but sometimes he has those phrases, those looks, those caresses, that way of always making her feel good in every way… She is completely in love with that man. And luckily, she doesn't have to hide it anymore.
"I love you, Harvey." She whispers on his lips, scratching the back of his neck, between his hair.
She sits on his legs, in front of him, with her knees on the couch. She feels his hands on her waist and supports her forehead with his.
"I love you, Donna. You know that, right?" She smiles and nods.
They remain a few seconds silent, just looking at each other. Harvey loves to count the freckles in her nose as she looks at his lips and is eager for his kiss. It's still fun to make her wait a little.
Finally, they kiss softly, with love. And then, she hides her face in the hole of his neck, hugging him and tangling her fingers in his hair.
His hands go up slowly on her spine, and she smiles. She really loves that feeling, his fingers going up and down the hollow of her spine.
"I really like when you do that." She whispers in his ear, and kisses his neck.
"I know that." And he kisses her forehead. "And I really like when you're caressing the back of my neck."
Donna smiles, and she separates a little from him, intensifying her caresses on his nape.
"What else do you like?"
"Mhm… When we're lying down, your head is on my shoulder, our legs tangled and your fingers move on my arm, almost imperceptible, down my arm, circling my palm. I'm never so calm as I'm at that moment."
She smiles. "I always knew how to relax you"' She says proudly, and he chuckles.
"I really like seeing you sleep. I know that you don't like it, but… It's so peaceful to me. I love hugging you and even when you're asleep, you get hooked on my body, especially if we are naked, I really enjoy that intimacy. I never had it with anyone, be naked without looking for anything else. I like to feel your skin on mine, your heat, your weight on my body. I like your cute eyes when you just wake up."
Harvey pauses, thinking for a few seconds. Donna waits for him.
"I always thought that I'm not designed for calm and you did it. I really like that."
"'When did you get so soft?" She whispers.
"Honestly? I don't know, but I think you have something to do with this." She smiles and kisses his hand. "Now is your turn. What do you like?"
"Mhm… I really like your fingers on my spine all the time, but mostly when I wake up, that moment when I'm neither asleep, nor awake. I love when we are walking and you put your hand on my back, in fact on my waist, especially if I have a no backless dress or hollow-back dress and you touch my skin. I don't know if you realized that, but every time I buy more dresses like this."
He smiles, because he knows it. In fact, he gives them to her with pleasure. He loves this too.
"I like when you kiss me with one of your hands on my waist and the other on my nape... I like when we're sitting in anywhere and you take my hand and touch the tips of my fingers with your fingers. And, I really like to hold your hand and look into your eyes when we have sex, It's at this moment when I feel this intimacy there that I never had with anyone else."
She pauses, wrinkling her nose, as if discovering something about herself.
"I imagined many times what it could be like if we were finally together." She sighs. "What could happen if one day you would appear in my apartment, as you did." They smile. "Or what would have happened if one day we talked about what we never dared... Or if one day in the elevator you would kiss me without telling me anything."
"You imagined a lot of scenarios!" He says, funny.
"I have time!" She responds, funny too. "But, stop, this isn't what I want to say."
"What is it?"
"I never encouraged myself to imagine these things, being like this, that you just give me your hand or touch me for no reason, just because now you can, we can. I never thought I could feel so overwhelmed, so loved"
He pauses, looking at her with attention and love.
"Are you real?" He whispers.
'Yes. Not only I'm real, I'm here too."
"You know, the first few days, I was scared to wake up and realize that it was all a dream.' Donna smiles tenderly. "Like I said, this happened many times."
"Dreamed?"
"Yes, after dreaming about you, I woke up and…"
She interrupts him. "This is real Harvey and I'm not going anywhere. I spent so many years trying to not love you and it was impossible. I'm clear, I want to be with you until my last day." She says, touching his wedding ring.
"You want to hold me all that time?"
"Yes... You to me?'"
"Me too…" He says, smiling and takes her cheeks, then he kisses her. "How is that this conversation ended like this?"
"Because the rain makes you soft."
"It isn't the rain, you are."
She giggles and hugs him stronger around his neck, holding on to him, feeling his hands go down her spine and then his palms on her back and his thumbs make circles on her skin.
"When you had sex or you masturbated yourself, ever did you think about the other time?" He whispers in her ear.
She smiles and separates a little from him.
"You are terrible!"
"You started this conversation."
"Yes, but I thought that we were already cute."
"For that reason, I need to come back to the first conversation because you were getting me hot."
"I say it again: You are terrible!"
"What? You don't feel like it?" He asks, frowning.
"Always."
"Wasn't it that you like the other thing? More cute…" He asks, joking.
She looks at him with an expression like: You're an idiot.
"One thing doesn't cancel the other."
"Thanks God!" He says, capturing her lower lip between his lips. "But, you didn't answer my question… Did you ever think about the other time? I mean, literally on that night."
"Should I answer? I think you already know it."
Harvey smiles on her lips and kisses her, getting up from the couch with her on top of him. Her legs around his hip and her arms around his neck.
"Hey, hey! We're not so young. I want all of my bones integers." She says, holding to him stronger.
"I would never let you fall. You know it." He says up, grabbing her by her legs.
"I hope so." She winks her eye and they join their lips. Harvey starts to walk, and Donna is surprised when he goes into the kitchen and sits her on the counter. "Harvey?" She asks, surprised and complaining.
"We're not that young, but... We can remember when we were." He says, looking for whipped cream and strawberries on the fridge.
She bites her lip in the middle of a smile and takes him by the waist with her legs to kiss him. "You don't stop surprising me."
And without saying anything, he lifts her onto his shoulder, laying her head down, with her abdomen on Harvey's shoulder and Donna starts screaming while laughing.
"Put me down, Harvey, please!" She says, hitting his back.
"Take the stuff."
"Harvey!"
"If you don't take them, it'll take longer to get you down."
"I hate you!"
"I love you too, honey!" He says, pinching her ass. She giggles and takes the stuff.
"Will you please be careful with my head and not give it to me with anything?"
"I'll try."
"Harvey!"
"What?" He asks, laughing.
"Walk at least!"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Somewhere I won't be afraid of falling."
He giggles and strokes her back. "Where?"
"Bedroom."
"Ok, ok."
Harvey starts walking into the bedroom, and she continues screaming.
When they arrive, she puts the stuff on one of the nightstands, but he still wouldn't put it down.
"Get me down idiot!" She says, kicking and hitting with her fists on his back.
"Please Harvey. Can you lower me?"
She rolls her eyes, and even though Harvey doesn't see it, he knows it. "Please Harvey. Can you lower me?"
"Yes, I can." He giggles.
He lowers her, placing her on the mattress of the bed. She keeps laughing and with her legs wraps his hips so that he falls on her.
"Now… Can you stop with the jokes and fuck me?" She asks, taking him by the nape and pressing her legs to bring him closer to her.
"Do you know how much I like you giving me orders?"
"I always knew it. I was always your boss, everyone knows that." She winks her eye while she giggles. Harvey rolls his eyes and kisses her, they had already talked too much. Now he'll make her yell his name.
So sorry again for the mistakes. I don't have a beta and this is not my first language, I'm doing my best.
Please let me know what you think and if you'd like to read more darvey stories that I have written (and others still in my mind). It would be important for me to know it!
Thank you for read it!
