Alright I've written another one. This one is in Donna's point of view.
Hope you enjoy!
It was a bright Tuesday morning at Pearson-Hardman, Donna sat at her desk typing away as she updated Harvey's itinerary. He was scheduled to fly out to Boston in a couple of hours for a meeting on an important merger. She finished and hit the print icon on the screen, pausing to take a sip of the latte beside her. As she did so she heard Harvey and Mike approaching.
"It's just for a couple of days" she heard Harvey say.
"Do you hear yourself? A couple of days with Louis and I'll shoot myself" Mike replied.
"Stop being so over-dramatic. Do you have the assessments I asked for?" Donna watched Mike hand Harvey some papers grumbling, "I'm not being over-dramatic. Louis hates me, who knows what he'll make me do".
At this point the pair had reached her desk. Donna looked up an amused smile playing on her face.
"Mike, Louis is nothing to be afraid of" Donna teased, talking to Mike as if he were a child. Harvey smirked at her comment appreciatively. Mike just glared at the two and started walking off.
"I'm telling you this isn't going to go well!" the young associate called over his shoulder.
"I should fire him for complaining so much"
"Oh please, you would never- you like having him around too much" Donna said grabbing the freshly printed itinerary, neatly placing it into a blue folder for him.
"Flight's at three, car will pick you up when you land, and the meeting has been moved to eight instead of six. Apparently the client doesn't think a couple of pre-dinner drinks will be enough time to discuss the deal" Donna said as she stood waiting for the inevitable sarcastic remark that would follow.
Instead he surprised her.
"Is that a new dress?" Donna was taken aback. Looking down for a second she appraised the green dress she was wearing. She had just bought it this past weekend.
"Yes it is actually" the surprise evident in her voice. Harvey commented on her clothes occasionally but it was still a rare event.
"Well anyone seeing you in that outfit Moneypenny would certainly be discouraged from leaving the country. What can I bring you back?" He complimented her, smiling slightly as he knew she would pick up on the reference.
She leaned forward placing her elbows on the top of the cubicle wall, "A diamond? In a ring?" she answered batting her eyelashes up at him. Harvey grinned at her reaction, always the actress.
"Would you settle for a tulip?" he mirrored her actions so he faced her and leaned in, one of his arms resting on the wall. They were almost nose to nose.
"Yes." She breathed out with a small smile on her face. The two stood there for a moment, locking eyes. Abruptly Harvey pulled away and turned around, walking down the hall.
Donna watched him go her smile widening. Sometimes Harvey made her day. Not that she would tell him that, he had enough of a swelled ego as it was.
Suddenly Louis appeared in the spot Harvey had been a minute earlier, "Is Harvey leaving the country? Why? Didn't he have a merger? Is there something Jessica's not telling me?" the short man interrogated her rapidly. Donna's smile quickly turned into a frown of annoyance.
"Go away Louis" she said shooing him as she picked up her purse and jacket, shutting off the computer. The bonus of Harvey leaving for a few days was she got a bit of a break.
-Suits-
Donna walked into the office Thursday evening. It was late and not many employees were around. Mainly the janitorial staff and a few associates stuck doing late night assignments. Harvey had called her an hour ago and asked her to come in saying he needed a draft of the deal written up and he didn't "trust any of the idiots here" to get it done. She was almost at her desk when she stopped. She just stood staring for a moment before a smile broke out on her face. In front of her were at least 5 bouquets of different colored tulips arranged neatly in beautiful glass vases. She walked over to the one closest to her computer; it had a note accompanying it.
She opened the small envelope.
Couldn't decide on just one. See you tomorrow- Harvey
She leaned against the desk and plucked one of the red tulips from the vase in front of her. Bringing it to her nose she breathed in the subtle fresh smell and smiled.
'No wonder Moneypenny had a thing for Bond' she thought to herself.
Settling into her chair she looked around her once more.
'How am I going to get all of these home?'
