'Okay are we done?' Josh asked seeming a bit to excited.
Toby glared at him from across the table. Sure Josh hadn't screwed up terribly, but he was acting like he was in a different universe. Toby's glare straightened when he saw Josh grin.
'We'll set up a meeting for next week,' Toby told the group.
'Great!' Josh said and shot out of his chair. He took flight from the room and went straight to his office.
Sam caught up with him.
'So how'd it go?' Sam asked as they paced towards the bullpen.
'I didn't sleep with her,' Josh said automatically.
Sam looked at him cock-eyed.
'Oh you meant the meeting,' Josh continued. 'It went fine I guess.'
'It went pretty long,' Sam added, when Josh gave him the vague reply.
'Did it?' Josh asked looking at his watch. 'Right well all's well that end's well.'
'What!' Sam asked having very little idea what Josh was talking about.
Josh stopped at thought about what he had just said. 'I don't know I guess I'm still drunk.'
'So Toby's going to kill you?' Sam asked as they entered his office.
'Hmm?' Josh asked then looked at him. 'Oh I don't know. But hey… do you think that… never mind.'
'What?' Sam asked pleading him to finish his thought.
'Have you ever thought…' Josh wasn't sure what to ask. 'Donna's an attractive woman.'
'Yes,' Sam replied.
'I just when I was all panicked about maybe accidentally sleeping with her it got me to thinking…' then he paused.
'Thinking she's an attractive woman?' Sam asked him.
'Well no I've always known that,' Josh said a little to quickly. He blushed when he realized what he'd done. 'I was just thinking that maybe… I don't know…'
Sam looked at him eyes filled with laughter. 'You've finally realized you have a crush on Donna.'
'I do not,' he denied helplessly. When he saw the look Sam gave him he was forced to admit the truth. 'Okay so I like her. I like her a lot. Maybe I like her more than that but I didn't sleep with her so there's no sexual harassment charge.'
'Right,' Sam told him. Then he turned to leave. 'For god sake. Ask her out already.'
Josh sat at his desk. He was thinking about Donna. A memory from the night before seemed to flash before his eyes.
HE heard Donna ask him, ' When are you going to ask me out?'
Then to his horror he remembered his reply. 'When you marry me.'
