You Know I Love You

Chapter 15 - Finally Love

Donna walked over to Harvey's desk and placed an object on it.

Harvey turned around and before going behind his desk he walked to Donna. He turned her around in his arms and kissed her deeply. They then hugged and both sighed deeply. I did not think I would ever hold you again.

Donna held Harvey tight. She was glad they were alone and there were very few people in Harvey's corner of the office. The partner who occupied the office adjacent to Harvey's had been one of the first to resign after the scandal broke. His secretary whose cubicle was next to Donna's had been persuaded to resign as well. She knew she would be gone if her boss was gone. Donna had never known her very well, but at the moment the emptiness allowed Harvey's corner of the 50th floor the most quiet and deserted.

Harvey finally released her and holding her at arms' length looked into her eyes and tried to read the odd expression.

"Donna? What's wrong?" Harvey asked.

Donna retrieved the envelope she had laid on his desk only a few minutes before.

"Harvey, I woke up and found you gone. I knew what you were planning to do despite what I urged you not to do."

"Donna, it doesn't matter now. I'm not going anywhere."

"Did you mean all those things you said in here and do you really want me to wear this..now? Or was this a last ditch effort for me to forget you because the deal you were going to make with Anita Gibbs would put you away for a long, long time!"

Donna eyes were full of tears now. She cried tears of anger, joy, relief, and possessed a heart and head full of questions.

"Harvey, tell me," Donna said softly taking a seat on the couch.

You've done it now, Specter. She's hurt and she's upset. What was I thinking? Giving her an engagement ring when I knew I may not be coming out of prison to marry her? What a promise that was. Of course, she would not go to LA like I would want her to. Donna is Donna. She does what she wants when she wants. She is no possession of any man. Let alone me.

"Donna," Harvey said as he came over to the couch. He took the ring and the letter from her trembling hands and placed them on the table before them. He took both her hands in his and massaged her knuckles with his thumb.

Don't patronize me now, Harvey. I said to Rachel that I would have forgiven you had your deal with Anita Gibbs come to fruition. However, I would never have left here. You actually wanted me not to return to PSL. How could I have done that? I would want to be near you. Besides your apartment, your clothes, and yourself, this office screams I am Harvey Specter.

"Harvey, I just have one question."

"Why?" Harvey preempted Donna's question.

"Yes, why? Why would you pay for me to live in LA? Why give me this beautiful ring and tell me what you were planning to do? You actually forbade me to coming back here to work. Actually I probably wouldn't want to without you here, but why?"

"I didn't want to hold you back any longer. I would not be here, so there would be no reason for you to work here. Your family is in Connecticut and you always wanted to see how you would fare in Hollywood. You're beautiful, talented, and I have held on to you without giving anything in return for far too long. So I figured if I was going to be in prison a long time, this would be my thank you to you for sticking by me in the bad times, celebrating with me in the good times, and just loving me all the time."

"Oh, Harvey," Donna drew him into her arms and squeezed him tight as her tears ran down her cheeks and onto his neck. She could feel him grasp her tighter.

She released him only long enough to say her peace. She stroked the side of his face feeling where he missed shaving and she motioned for him to look at her and see her maybe for the very first time.

"I have been in love with you for half my life. You made me the happiest woman in the world when you acknowledged you loved me. I would always want to be near you. Hell I would have moved back to Connecticut just to be near you. You could never get rid of me...again." She took his face in both of her hands and kissed him long on his lips.

Harvey then held her as if he would never let her go. Now that he had been reprieved, he would not ever let her go.

"Hey," Harvey said as they pulled out of their embrace. He took the ring which lie on the table. It was a beautiful Princess cut three carat diamond with two little birthstones of his on one side of the Tiffany setting and two little birthstones of hers on the other. Harvey's birthday was in January so the two little red garnets on the left side looked almost black in the unlit office and Donna's tiny blue sapphire stones for December sitting on the right side caught the sunlight streaming in from the large unblinded window.

"Hey," Donna said in a peaceful relieved tone and then saw what he was intending.

Harvey bent down on one knee and said, "Well, I have seen real love between Mike and Rachel and I had always thought because of my mother I never really thought it could exist or that it was for me. However, I was wrong and I have been wrong for the last 12 years. So, Ms. Paulsen, would you please do me the honor of becoming my wife because I now know love and I don't want to waste another minute without it."

Harvey placed the ring on Donna's finger.

"Yes, yes, I will become your wife. I have to say I have been waiting twelve years for you to mature enough to ask me," Donna said not allowing Harvey to come to his feet without taking her with him as they kissed.

"Yes! Double wedding, yessir! It's about damn time!" Mike said as he, Rachel, and Louis had gone looking for the missing pair and had heard Harvey's eloquent proposal as they approached.

"Oh, Donna!" Rachel said wiping away a tear of her own. She came fully into the room and hugged her best friend and examined the beautiful ring Harvey had just placed on her hand.

Harvey took this as his cue to have his hand shaken by Mike and they clasped each other in a hug. Louis was next in line and as he shook Harvey's hand he was heard to say.

"Does this mean I get Donna back as my secretary?"

They all laughed.
