I had planned this story as a short one, but then I came up with this idea and I do have an idea what could happen next. I really hope I can finish this story before my holiday break is over and I have to go back to work and be swamped with so many things that I won´t find the time to update. I will try my best. Up till then, I hope you like it. x
Patience had never been her strong suit. If she wanted something, she wanted it - now. That's why she was heading to Harvey's office a mere 10 hours after her conversation with Donna. She didn't know if he was in or not, if he wasn't she was just going to have someone tell her when he would be back. But she was in luck, she saw him and quickened her pace, now even more determined than before.
She didn't knock, there was no reason to. Harvey looked up and was about to open his mouth, clearly complaining about her lacking manners, however, she didn´t give him any chance to formulate even one word.
"You need to apologize to Donna."
It wasn't a request, it was a demand. The tone of her voice would make him defensive and she was prepared for it. Admittedly, he was a brilliant lawyer, but he could be so stupid otherwise sometimes.
"Excuse me?"
"That apology the other night was pathetic and you know it. You need to apologize to her and properly if you don't want to distance yourself even more from her."
"That is actually none of your goddamn business and now I would like you to leave my office."
He was getting more and more defensive, a sign that she was right. She had an extremely good poker face and she knew it, but if the moment had allowed it, she would have done nothing better than to smirk. He could be so predictable sometimes.
She knew she couldn't tear down the walls he was building up. She didn´t want to either, that was his own job, but it was actually fun driving him up the wall, especially when she knew she was right.
So, she took a step towards his desk and continued. Her voice dropping, almost threatening now.
"It is my business when you hurt my friend and you think you can get away with it because you think it was nothing you should wreck your pretty little brain over. She will get over it and will be normal soon enough."
"What…," he attempted to chime in, but she gave him no chance to respond.
"You know exactly what I am talking about, I can see it in your face. You are just too cowardly to actually admit that you made a mistake and hurt the one person you care about the most."
That did it. He merely looked at her, no longer defensive, angry and stubborn. It was almost guilt-ridden and apologetic.
He heaved a sigh, broke the eye contact they had been holding since she had come in and looked down.
Looking up again, he mumbled: "How do you know about that?"
"Oh please, Louis' cat could sense that there is something going on between you two. Besides, she told me. So, you better apologize to her right now. Otherwise, you will have me to answer to."
At that news, his eyes widened a little. He was not used to having his private life being talked about in his office by people he barely knew. Especially not this part of his life, he loved to keep to himself altogether.
"What did she tell you?" Was the only thing he could come up with, apparently.
The great Harvey Specter was at a loss for words. Donna really was his sore spot. She didn´t want to make it too easy for him. Instead, she decided to tease him a little more.
"Everything."
And with that, she turned around and left with an extra boost of confidence. She had just closed the best closer of New York City.
