Disclaimer: Since I forgot to put one in the first chapter, here it is… I own nothing.
I have to thank my beta because she might just be the best person ever. Also thank you everyone who reviewed. It means the world to me!
After Donna's talk with Sam, she got a call from the future first lady. She wanted someone to talk over redecorating the new "first family" home. Even though what she really wanted wastime with hopefully her new chief of staff. On her way thereDonna ran into Josh, where he told her that he wouldn't be able to figure things out between them in the time line she had set out. She left the building to go have lunch with Mrs. Santos feeling not as hopeful as she was that morning. But she was unaware of Josh's meltdown, and a half-hour into their lunchher phone rang.
"Excuse me Mrs. Santos"
"At least you didn't say Ma'm this time"
Donna just smiles as she picks up the phone and walks away "Hello"
We flash to Josh on his phone in his office "Hey Donna"
"Josh"
There's a pause, Josh looks a little scared, and Donna just looks amused.
She breaks the silence "I saw Sam, he looked good. I hope he stays"
"I think he will"
"Josh don't force him…"
"I know, I am going to try not to push to hard anymore"
There's silence again…
Donna has to break it again "Josh I am feeling a sense of déjà vu here, was there a reason you called?"
He pauses then "Yes, of course, I wanted to know if you still had the numbers CNN were putting out about some of the cabinet positions."
"I had it at CJ's yesterday, they are still there"
"Well I need them"
"Josh, I'm with Mrs. Santos"
"Did you accept the job already?"
"Josh" exasperated.
He decides to just stick to his plan "I need the information when do you think you could get them"
Donna sighs "I will run home before I come back to the office in like a half an hour"
"Okay" as Josh nods his head, smiling determined.
Donna a little annoyed hangs up the phone.
Donna walks into CJ's apartment. She goes into the guest room looking through papers as she hears a knock at the door. She looks around confused, who would be at the door?
She goes and opens the door and standing there is a very nervous lookingJosh.
"What are you doing here?"
"Ah, I just…" he stumbles a bit
She cuts in rambling because she's pretty angry, "Josh, you make me come here to get these numbers when you could have just printed out another copy, and then you show up here, what is going…"
He cuts her off with a kiss, when he pulls away Donna says laughing "So you made me come here so we could do this in the middle of the day? You couldn't have waited until tonight? Don't you have this crazy schedule you are suppose to keep on top of?"
"Not anymore"
Donna looks at him confused "What?"
"I am taking a vacation"
"What?"
Josh laughs, for the first time actually looking relaxed "I am taking a break, a vacation and I want you to come with me"
Donna completely confused now "What?"
Josh takes two pieces of paper out of his pocket "Me, you, a beach, no work"
As he is handing her the tickets "What?"
"Leave with me, lets forget about transition for a week, it will all be waiting for us when we get back. You were right what you said to me, if we don't figure this out now, we never will. And Donna, I wouldn't be able to live with that."
Donna still shocked beyond words, but smiling now "What?"
"When I said I wouldn't be able to figure it out under your time table, I was just scared and overwhelmed. Donna for years I have been all about work, but in the white house that was because if there was work there was you. And then you left. I had nothing else except for the campaign. Now I have you and Donna there's nothing else like it. If you aren't going to be working with me, than works not enough anymore. Come away with me Donnatella"
As hesays thishe takesher arms and with that contactDonna's smile goes up to her eyes "Of course, I can not think of something I would rather do"
They hug, a fierce, promising hug.
Then reality hits "Oh my god! When are we leaving? We have to pack; I have to call Mrs. Santos and the office to let them know and…"
Josh sitting down on the couch "Vacation's about relaxing, this doesn't seem like that"
"Josh you need to get up. We can relax on the plane!"
She pulls him up dragging him into the room so she can start to pack.
"Oh this is more like it"
"Yea, you wish Josh!"
