He has planned the whole night, he has made a surprise for Donna.
In this period they haven't talk too much, so today they will spend every second of the night together.
Is been a long time that he has wanted to say to Donna that he's in love with her and he can't keep this inside him for another day.
After closing his computer, he went towards Donna's office, he knocked on her glass door and a genuine smile appeard on his face.
She was reading a document, more scanning, he could see the wheels spinning in that pretty little head and was nibbled her lower lips the way he loves.
She is always cute but when she is focus is more cute than ever.
Harvey: Hey!
She didn't expect this visit from him, since the kiss a weird tension has installed between them. Not just the anxious tension, also a lot more sexual than in the past years. The kiss scatenated some feelings that they both had been busy to bury them deep inside.
Donna: Oh... hi Harvey. Can I do something for you?
Harvey: No, I can do something for you.
Donna: What?!... what does it mean?
Harvey: It mean that I have a surprise for you. Are you ready to go?
Donna: ehm Harvey, I...
Harvey: Come on Donna. Are you frightened?
She smiled, there is no way she can feel frightened around him, she feels just protective.
Then she looked at my phone.
Donna: It's 9:00 pm!!?
Harvey: You don't want to see your surprise... well.
Harvey turns around to the door and simulated getting out when she stopped him.
Donna: Stop! You win, I'm coming!
Harvey smirked.
Harvey: I see that I still know how to convince you.
They both smiled, she caught her phone and her bag and they got out from the office.
Donna: So what is the surprise?
Harvey: Is a surprise and I don't think that I will say to you what we will do before we get there.
He smirked again on their way to the elevator.
He is so excited and nervous but he's diong his best to cover it.
They got out of the building where they saw Ray. He opened the car's door for let Donna in and then he followed her inisde.
Donna: Thanks Harvey.
Harvey: You don't have to thank me, I'm a gentlemen.
She laughs. Fuck he loves her laugh is all he needs to live.
I get into the car with the woman that I love and she starts doing question.
Donna: Where are we going?
Harvey: I don't know, what do you think?
Donna: We are going to... drink something?
Harvey: No.
Donna: We are going to... eat something?
Harvey: No.
Donna: We are going to... buy something?
Harvey: mmhh... Yes.
She is so beautiful in this moment, he thought. The lights of New York are brightening her face. She is gorgeous.
Donna: Harvey... why are you doing this?
A slight cover of blush is covering his cheeks, she noticed but doesn't say anything yet.
Harvey: I'm doing this because we didn't talk very much in this period and I want to spend some time with you.
Before she can say anything, Ray stops the car, Harvey got out first and taking her hand, he helped Donna getting out.
The expression on her face when she notices where they are is beautiful, she is very surprise.
Harvey: So... What are you thinking?
Donna: Ehm... I...
Harvey: Wow this is the second time that I've ever seen you speechless.
He can't help himself when his brightest smile appeard on her face, she looks so happy and this make him happy.
Donna: Ehm...
Harvey: Okayyy... Are you fine because it looks like you're about to pass out.
He smiles. She is shy and really cute.
Donna: Ok... What does all this mean?
They are in front of a christmas tree shop, in a very expansive part of the city with thousands christmas lights.
Harvey: Louis and the other partners dicided to buy a christmas tree for the firm and I thought that you would like this so...
Donna: So we are here for buy a christmas tree for the firm. And yes, Harvey, I love it. Thanks.
She practically jumped in the shop like a three years old baby and Harvey followed her smiling like an idiot.
An Hour Later
They have bought the tree and also some christmas decorations and now they are coming back to the firm.
They will decorate the tree tonight together and she is so excited for that.
She's going to decorate a christmas tree with her frie -stop with this friend bullshit- he's going to decorate a christmas treehe's going to decorate a christmas tree with the man that she loves and the man she is in love from the very first moment she laid her eyes on him.
The thing is that: she doesn't know that they are going to the bar where we met for an hot chocolate before the firm.
When the car stopped again, Donna is so excited that jumped out but then she stopped when she noticed where they were.
Donna: Harvey we aren't at the firm!
Harvey: Wow... You are perspicacious.
They both laughed.
Donna: Ok Harvey. What means this? I want the truth. This day is been amazing and you are very sweet but I know that you have something to say to me, so just say it.
Harvey: I have nothing to say to you. I said it before, I want only to spend some good time with my best friend.
He didn't want to say 'best friend' but if he said 'with the woman that I love', it would have been a little weird.
Donna: Oh...ok.
When he said 'best friend' her heart broke and he needed an answer, so, she said the most stupid thing in the world: 'Oh... ok'.
He saw that what he said saddened her, but he is a gentlemen and he doesn't say nothing.
Donna: So... is good your hot chocolate?
Hervey: Yes, but it would be more good with some whipped cream.
They smirked. The whipped cream night -their first time (unforgettable)- is the best memories of their 'friendship'.
Donna: You are an idiot.
They both smile to each other before a slight blush appeard on her cheeks.
Donna: Let's go, we have a christmas tree to decorate.
Harvey: Yes, let's go.
30 minuts later at the firm
Harvey put the tree in the elevetor, it is giant and it consumed a lot of place in the elevador, causing them to be very very close.
Sincerely is a dream been so close his breath on her neck and her perfume filling his lungs.
Unfortunately this moment finishes when they arrived at the 50th floor.
DAMN the elevator is so fast. He put the tree in in the hall.
Donna: Finally, we can decorate it.
Harvey: You couldn't wait, could you?
She descovered her beautiful smile.
They started to decor it and talk together.
Harvey: So do you like the surprise?
Donna: Yes, very very much Harvey. Thank you.
Harvey: I'm very happy that you are happy.
Donna: Harvey...
Harvey: Donna...
Donna: I'm serious Harvey.
Harvey: Ok, sorry. What do you want?
Donna: Why...?
Harvey: Why what?
Donna: This tree and the decoration. You don't like this.
Harvey: Or maybe you don't know me so much well as you think.
Donna: Harvey I know you more than any other person in the world and I can tell that you never liked this things.
Harvey: I like this because you are here with me.
She broke the eye-contact with him because her cheeks were becoming more red than ever. This silent is awkward. But finally she found a new topic, the star. The christmas tree's star.
Donna: This tree is very tall...
Harvey: Yes, it is but the clients have to see this so more taller is more is good.
Donna: Oh... ok...
Another awkward silent.
Donna: Who is going to put the star?
Harvey: The what?
She rolled her eyes.
Donna: The star, Harvey... the star for the tree.
Harvey: Oh yes.
He went towards his office and then he returned with his chair.
Donna: What are we going to do with that?
Harvey: We are doing nothing, YOU will get on the chair and put the star on the tree
Donna: And if I fall?
Harvey: You won't fall... Because I'm here with you. And if you fall I'll catch you.
Donna stood silent, wide eyes.
Harvey: You don't trust me?!
She get on the chair with the star in her hands.
She knows she shouldn't but she does a fake fall.
She's in Harvey's arms now, he caught her immediatly, with his muscular arms, she feels so safe as she never felt more in her entire life.
He put her down but her arms are still around his neck, their eyes locked. So much feelings in a gaze. Every word unsaid, every wasted moment, in a gaze. But it wasn't enough, for both of them. He leaned in first and locked their lips in a kiss. A so desired kiss. The one kiss they have been waiting for years.
When they parted there was just love in the room.
Harvey: I love you Donna.
Donna: I love you too Harvey.
They started another kiss, he pinned Donna against the wall gently, kissing her with such passion that she was melting in his arms, she could feel that. His lips are soft and so... Harvey, hers tasted like strawberry and the chocolate she drank before.
Finally after 13 years he's kissing the woman he loves.
Harvey kissed her neck for then return to her lips.
Donna: Take me home Harvey.
He smiles, interweaving their fingers.
They got out of the office holding hands, Ray was still there waiting for them, they got into the car and went to Donna's place where they kept kissing one another.
