I hope you're all still with me. I'm hoping that now they're officially together, we'll have some Darvey fluff and stuff in the next few chapters. If anyone has any suggestions or comments please review and let me know. Thank you! Happy Writing and Reading.

Chapter 15 - Fixed

Her breath was held, the doors to the elevator were still sealed shut and her heart beat had changed its rhythm to something new. She couldn't quite make out whether it was apprehension or excitement. However, after the events of the night before, she was hedging her bets that it was definitely the apprehension winning that one.

As the doors slid open, she wondered if the elevator was some sort of time shifting capsule as it didn't seem like five minutes since she was standing, angered, humiliated and hurt in her very same spot, facing the very same office.

Floor 50. She exited and turned slowly towards the wall besides her. Pearson, Specter, Litt. The squared silver lettering emblazoned on her mind - filled with a medley of memories, thankfully, she thought, mostly were good. She smiled at the familiarity of it.

With an inhale of breath, she turned on her heels, and strode with her ever present confidence towards her friend's office. She needed to fix what was ruined last night.

'Stop! Louis!' Mike's futile efforts at stopping his friend from ruining everyone's evening were pretty non existent as Louis had already powered down the steps towards the bar.

Mike stayed by Jason, stuck for words and opened mouthed. After a second Mike knew StandTech's CEO was the most important person in that moment, 'So, how about we call this official?' Mike offered him the pen again with a smile.

'Hmm, I'd love to go and see this reunion!' Jason beamed, ignoring Mike's suggestion as he placed the pen and unsigned contract back down on the table. Mike let out an overly large sigh as Jason Stand got up out of his chair too and headed after Louis.

'Seriously, I couldn't have even put money on this...' Mike muttered to himself as he picked up the contract and pen before subjecting himself towards the dramatic meltdown that was about to implode. He decided he didn't want to hurry. 'Sorry Harvey.' He thought and rolled his eyes.

Louis scuttled into the bar and scanned his eyes across each table for his favourite red headed beauty, fingers drumming together to an excitable, silent rhythm. By the time Mike and Jason had caught up with Louis, Louis' eyes were suddenly set on a booth towards the back of the bar.

'Now, you'll never guess who I just bumped into by the toilets...' Donna's revelation quickly brought Harvey back round from their kiss.

His alertness had renewed itself after hearing her words.

'Louis?' He offered with an uneasy smile.

Donna's puzzled face confused him. 'No!' She laughed, 'You need to stop thinking about Louis tonight Mr! In fact, it was Jason Stand. I haven't seen him in ages, he used to date Simon, Janine from Smyth and DeVane's personal assistant.'

Harvey had never really felt his stomach move before, but in that moment he was positive it did. 'You know him, he's the CEO of StandTech. In fact, you and Louis have always wanted to sign him if he ever left Smyth and DeVane...' He cut her off.

'I know him.' He thought quickly, 'Anyway, how about we grab a cab and head to mine.' Before he had chance to realise what he had said, Donna's raised brow caught his attention.

'Really? That's very presumptuous of you Specter...' she purred, evident that the evening's wine and scotch had hit her head.

He hadn't realised what it sounded like, he used the first thought to try and get them out of the bar as quick as he possibly could. Surely, if he'd put in a little extra thought another option would have proven to be less difficult to get out of.

'What's the rush? I haven't finished my drink,' she slowly reached down for her glass and brought it up to her lips. 'And who said we were going back to yours? What's wrong with mine? It was fine the last time...' He didn't have time to register those thoughts, but he sure as hell was going to at some point in the not so distant future. He swallowed, as hard as it was to not comment on her suggestiveness, he knew they had to get out of there.

Harvey began to feverishly scan the bar.

'What's going on Harvey? You've been off ever since you left the table. Are you going to tell me why you're wanting to leave so quickly and why you're acting like you're about to be arrested?' She laughed as she placed her glass back on to the table.

Too late. Shit. Harvey had caught Louis' eye.

'What the?' Louis stopped drumming his fingers and flung his arm out against Mike's chest to stop him from proceeding further. 'Please tell me that's not Harvey. Actually, tell me for the love of God, that is not Harvey and... ' His eyes pierced through the crowds and fixed into an angry glare which had met Harvey's face.

'Louis, please just leave it. We need to sort the contract,' Mike rounded to the front of Louis to try and grab his eye contact away from death staring Harvey. 'It's not worth it...' Mike knew Louis didn't even know he was there from the look on Louis' face. Within seconds, Louis had strode over to their table and had took up an angry stance at the edge.

Harvey let out a sigh, there was only one way to handle Louis, and especially in public and even more importantly because Jason Stand was watching the whole drama unfold, and that was calmly.

'Louis, nice to see you. How's the meeting going?'

Louis flapped his hands in disbelief. He blanked Harvey's comment, ignored him and turned to a very shocked and unsuspecting Donna. 'Really?' He paused trying to find his words, 'Really? Him? Are you freaking kidding me?' He flapped his hands again feverishly, 'We haven't seen each other in months since I last came to London, and the first person you want to see is HIM!' Louis pointed with disgust towards his fellow senior partner. 'What are you thinking? He's a complete dick, you know this Donna, you said yourself.'

Donna looked at Harvey's reaction, to which he smirked back at her with a 'really?' eyebrow flick and grin. She mouthed, 'sorry'.

'Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute...' Louis seemed like he was calming himself, but then the anger in the way he delivered his next question proved that to be wrong, 'Are you on a date?' He spat. The look of disgust echoed through his face as he turned to Harvey. 'Is this what you blew off our meeting for?' Redness was beginning to reign across Louis' cheeks, flaming and getting darker by the second. Harvey had yet to say a word. However, it was Mike who stepped forward.

'Louis, now is not the time or place. Let's go outside or back to the office.' He tried to pull his friend's arm back away from the table.

'How could you Donna?' Louis scowled. 'I thought we were friends. You told me everything.'

'Well, obviously she doesn't...' Harvey couldn't help himself, the copious amounts of Macallan wouldn't let him stay silent. Right there and then all Harvey wanted to do was flatten and silence Louis with one defining punch for speaking to Donna like he was.

'Louis, please. I was going to tell you tomorrow at lunch. I just needed time to know what this was,' she gestured between her and Harvey.

'And what exactly is that?' Louis glared, 'You know what? I don't want to know. If he hurts you again Donna, don't come crying to me and expecting me to listen.' And with that, Louis had disappeared between the tables and towards the door.

'Shall I go after him?' Mike offered.

'No, he needs to process. There's no point speaking to him at the moment. Let him go.' Harvey said as he got up out of his seat and looked around quickly to see who would have witnessed their scene.

'Are you ok?' Harvey asked concerned as he held Donna's hand and helped her up out of the booth's seat. 'He shouldn't have spoken to you like that,' Harvey slipped his arm around her waist pulling her in close and placed a kiss to her temple.

Mike noticed his two friends in a unfamiliar embrace, something which even he knew should have happened all those years ago. For some reason, it didn't look awkward, it looked natural, like they've always been there. Mike smiled and looked away, then feverishly looked around as Jason Stand was no where to be seen.

Shit.

For the past fifteen minutes she had been deciding where to sit in his office. In his chair? No, too confrontational. On his window frame? No, too casual. She had decided upon perching herself tentatively on the end of his couch, waiting for him to return from court. Norma said he was on his way back, so Donna was thankful that she had a few moments to rehearse in her mind how she was going to approach this. Louis was not easy to calm, let alone have a rational conversation with.

She looked around his office. The memories flooded back like they were only yesterday. She had to admit, she missed the office, her friends and the challenge. After making it right with Jessica, not long after she had left, she knew she would always be made to feel welcome back at the firm. Jessica held no grudges neither did Donna, they both knew why what happened had happened. They both wanted to protect Harvey in their own ways. Donna cast her eyes around Louis' shelves; the picture of the four of them: Jessica, Louis, Harvey and her just after the New York Law Journal Awards. The memory warmed her and in part reminded her of everything she had missed out on in between.

Suddenly a long drawn out exasperated sigh bellowed from the doorway.

'Out. Get out,' he flicked his hands towards her gesturing back towards the door he'd just entered. 'I don't need this conversation right now,' Louis stropped, as he pulled his chair into his desk and flipped open his laptop, making a conscious effort to avoid her glare.

'Oh no you don't Louis, we're going to have his goddamn conversation and we're going to have it now!' Her lowered tone was forceful. Forceful enough for Norma to scuttle behind and close the door to Louis' office.

'What's there to say Donna? That you lied to me that you never wanted to see that son of a bitch again or the fact that because of your secret rendezvous with that aforementioned dick, I've now lost the firm a major client?' His eyes pierced into Donna's. She didn't budge, for how ever long she had known Louis, she knew how he worked and she wasn't going to back down.

'Louis, things change. Actually no.' She thought again, 'Things didn't change. I love Harvey, I always have. Ok there, I said it. I. love. Harvey. Specter. And if you can't accept that, then what was the point in our friendship?'

'But, Donna. It's him. You really think he's changed?' He softened his tone, just like she knew he would. 'Jesus, it's taken the whole of my self restraint to avoid his office this morning...' he continued to calm his rage until Donna answered his question.

'I know he has. He's not the same man he was a few years ago. Louis we've said a lot of things and we know where we want to be now and we're...' she held her breath and looked up and then back to focus on her friend, '...going to see where it goes...' She smiled.

'Do you know about Scottie?' Louis huffed, hoping to break the smile from Donna's face and paint Harvey further in bad light.

Donna gave him an exasperated look, 'Yes Louis, I know about Scottie.' She let out a laugh, 'In fact, it was Scottie who made me realise that I needed to come home and it was Scottie who told me he still loved me.'

Louis let out a humpf as he pushed his chair back away from the desk and placed his hands around his head and leant back.

'Please Louis, be happy for me. For us. I was going to tell you today at lunch, but I didn't want to say anything before, as I didn't know how the last few days with Harvey we're going to go. And to be honest... they've been pretty damn good,' she smirked.

Louis' face turned to a look of horror and disgust. 'Ok, ok. Please stop. I don't need to know all the details. If you're happy, then so am I. But I swear to God, if he hurts you and let's you down, I can not be held responsible for my actions.' He puffed his chest out as a declaration of his honour.

Donna stifled a laugh. 'Thanks Louis. Now, how about that lunch and while we're at it, did I tell you I'm very good friends with Jason Stand?'

'Donna, I wouldn't bother, he was adamant last night that he didn't want to be represented by a firm who couldn't hold their shit together and he also happened to mention the way I treated you...' he looked sorrowfully up towards her as she had remained in front of his desk. 'I'm sorry,' he finally mumbled.

'You let me worry about Jason, he'll be Pearson, Specter, Litt's client by the end of the day. It's the least I can do,' she smiled.
