"Josh."
"Josh"
"JOSH!"
She really hated this. Its bad enough that she lost her job because of a bad play, but now she was forced to wake up at the crack of dawn to make sure her boyfriend got out the door to HIS job at the White House on time.
Sometimes, Amy Gardner just didn't think life was fair.
Listening to the mumbling that signaled that Josh was finally awake, Amy got up and pulled her rode an padded into the kitchen. As usual Josh had no coffee.
As cute and funny and sweet as this guy could be Josh was still your basic man in a lot of ways. Amy quickly poured some water into the coffee maker and shuttered at the sight of the inky muck that came out into the pot.
"Coffee.Must have Coffee." Josh grumbled as he stumbled into the kitchen. Handing him a cup of the inky goo, Amy went to work scrambling two eggs into a bowl.
"I'm going to have to cancel on lunch today." Amy said, as she whisked the eggs.
"We had a lunch?" Cro-magium man muttered as he took a long drag on his "coffee"
"Yes, and I'm going to have to cancel. I have a meeting about a job offer. Do you want me to leave something out for you?" She asked as she poured the eggs into the pan.
"No, I'll grab something in the mess." He replied as he finally became the somewhat adorable human she knew he could be.
"Kay, Like I said It's just a meeting but..you know."
"Yeah, you should definitely go." He replied, "I'm going to get dressed. Let me know when the eggs are done." He called as he started back towards the bedroom.
Amy sat down at the kitchen table and propped her feet up in a chair as she waited for her eggs to finish. As she started to sit down, the table shifted and a pile of mail fell to the floor.
Amy picked up the fallen pieces, bearly noticing them until she saw one.PeopleFinders, it said on the envelope. Amy didn't need to open it, She knew all to well what it was.
He hadn't stopped looking for her, Not since she'd left over two months earlier. She was just beginning to get the feeling that Josh would never really stop looking for Donna Moss until he darn well found her.
And somehow she doubted that if she left, he would do the same.
Silly man, she thought to herself. He loved her, and he loved her still. She'd known it from the first day she'd met him, when she mentioned Donna.He just wasn't able to admit it to himself.
If he hadn't been so charming in his little kid way, Amy probably never would have excepted his offer of a date, Never would have stepped into this. She'd known it was dangerous and dumb right from the start but just hadn't been able to stop herself.
Sooner or later she'd have to let him go. Because in the end.He was not hers, and would never ever be. That the relationship had lingered this long was a testament to his like-a-ability.
I've grown accustomed to his face, she thought as she remembered the line she had heard once long ago. It was comfortable and safe, just what she needed right now.
But all that probably didn't matter. In the months since Donna Moss disappeared from Washington Josh had not been able to get even the slightest hint of a trace on Donna's whereabouts.
She had heard him doing the calls a few times. All he ever seemed to get out of anyone was the slight reassurance that Donna was OK. He couldn't get an address from the post office even. Donna had had all her mail sent to a re-mailing center with a confidentiality clause.
"Hey, You're eggs are burning." Josh replied as he stepped out in his suit. Amy shock herself once and got up, turning the eggs over. Josh came over and gave her a slight kiss on the cheek.
"See you tonight." She said as he headed towards the door.
"Good Luck." He'd called. She listened, then heard his footsteps going down the hall. The morning passed as it usually did for those not working, but that was OK. This Job interview was going to go well.she could feel it.
Dressing in her best "Powersuit" Amy headed down to the Cock and Bull and waited for her party to arrive. She was there twenty minutes and a half a white wine sprizter when a tall dark hared man arrived.
"Hi Amy, Good to see you again." He said in a friendly tone. After a few minutes of chit-chat he got right down to the business at hand.
"We want you Amy, We can't think of anyone that would be a better columness for our us then you." He said as he pulled out a thick stack of papers and sat them down on the table.
"We've decided to go ahead with all your requests and we would love to get started just as soon as you meet with our issues director. You'll love her, she's something special." He said. Amy was to ecstatic to even believe what she was hearing.she was going to be a columness. She would be on the way again.
"When can I meet her?" Amy answered.
"We can fly you out today." He answered taking a long drink of his tonic water.
"Fly? She's out of state then?" Amy asked, suddenly getting a strange cold feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Yes, She's based in Madison but used to live here in Washington. Maybe you know her.Her name is Donna Moss." Amy felt her stomach fall to the floor.Donna.Josh's Donna.
Oh Crap
