"Harvey where are you taking me?"
"You are the most impatient person …ever"
"You're just now figuring this out? Geez, Harvey you really do catch on slow"
Harvey laughs as he holds the door to his Lexus open for her
"Not even a little hint?" she continues, sliding across the back seat
"Good evening Donna" Ray greets
"Hi Ray, how are you?"
"Can't complain, I must admit, life is good! …and might I just add, you look gorgeous"
"If you're through hitting on my girlfriend, maybe you could take us to 10th and West 16th?", Harvey jokes.
"You're the boss" Ray smiles, not drawing attention to the fact that he had just called Donna his girlfriend.
About damn time, he thinks to himself.
Donna can't help but smile at the mention of the address
"Aw, Harvey, Del Posto?"
He just smiles, blushing slightly as inner romantic is being uncovered.
"Well, we have a lot of history there"
"We sure do" she smiles, leaning in for a kiss.
Harvey brings his lips to hers before grabbing her hand and interlocking their fingers.
"I love you, Donna"
"I love you too"
Harvey can't help but smile before leaning over to kiss her forehead gently, the sweet gesture causing Donna to close her eyes, cherishing the moment.
They spend the rest of the ride in a comfortable silence, both of them happier than either one of the could remember.
"Good evening, Mr Specter, Miss Paulsen" the hostess greets them both "…Right this way"
Donna smiles as she recognizes the walk to their usual table.
"Can I get you anything to drink?" she asks, as Harvey holds Donna's chair out for her.
"Ooh, I'd love a red wine" Donna chimes
"A bottle of the Barossa Valley shiraz, please" Harvey orders.
"You remembered my favourite wine"
"I remember a lot of things"
"Really?"
Mhmm, I mean, I'm no Donna, but I do alright" he grins, causing what felt like a million butterflies to flutter in her stomach.
"Is that so?"
Harvey nods.
"Ok hot shot, what was I wearing the first day I came to work for you?
Harvey tilts his head to the left
Donna laughs, "Don't make statement's you can't back up, Mr"
"Your wine" the waiter announces, showing Harvey the bottle.
"Perfect, thank you" He says, eyes landing on Donna again as he pours their wine.
"Don't feel bad, Harvey it was fourteen years ago" Donna teases.
"You were wearing a grey turtle neck with that sexy black pencil skirt, you had on blacks pumps and you had your hair half up and half down, with your bangs framing your face"
Harvey couldn't help but smirk as Donna's mouth dropped slightly.
"Told you I remember a lot"
"You never cease to amaze me, Harvey Specter"
Harvey just smiled, grabbing her hand.
"Harvey, this is really nice, thank you"
"You don't have to thank me; I just wish we had done it years ago"
"Me too" she smiles, running her thumb over his hand, "But, we wouldn't have been ready years ago. At least now we both know what we want, right?"
Harvey can't help but smile, "Definitely". He says as he picks up his wine glass, "To us" he toasts.
"Finally" Donna smiles, lifting her wine glass and clinking their glasses together.
"Oh my God, that was amazing!" Donna says, thoroughly satisfied with her choice of truffled mushroom risotto.
"You're amazing"
Donna laughs, "Smooth, Specter"
Harvey grins, he honestly can't remember smiling this much. Ever.
Donna couldn't help but think how perfect this night had been, their conversation flowed, the food and wine was incredible and the little touches and hand holding on Harvey's behalf made her heart swoon. Never has she seen this man so open with his affections.
The evening had been perfect and felt so natural.
"Can I tell you a secret?"
"Of course, you can tell me anything, Donna"
"Part of me was the tiniest bit worried that this might be weird"
"And it isn't?"
"Not even a little"
Harvey smile's again, reaching for her hand.
"I guess a lot of the awkwardness on first dates comes with getting to know the person and working out if you're compatible. Safe to say after fourteen years, we've got the compatible bit covered. We've been by each other's sides through the good …and the bad"
"True"
"I've had the best time, Harvey, really, this whole night has been perfect. It just all feels so…"
"…right" he says, at the same time as her.
"Yeah"
"Sorry to interrupt, but are you ready for your dessert?" the waiter asks.
"We didn't order any dessert..." Donna corrects him.
"Actually, I ordered some while you were in the bathroom, I hope you don't mind"
"Oh, Cristal!" Donna smiles, as the waiter places a plate of chocolate covered strawberries in the centre of the table before proceeding to fill their two champagne glasses"
"Harvey, you didn't need to do this"
"Of course I did" He smiles as he picks up a strawberry, bringing it to her mouth.
He can't help but be drawn to Donna's lips as she takes a bite.
"Mmm, delicious" Donna moans almost sensually "…but"
"…But what?" Harvey frowns
"No whipped cream" she smirks, as she kinks her eyebrow.
"…Yeah we're gonna need the check!" Harvey signals the waiter.
Donna can't help but smile as she feels his lips grazing the back of her shoulder as he spoons her from behind, their naked bodies entangled under the sheets of his king sized bed, she guessed it was 2, maybe 3am.
"I thought you were asleep"
"I was" he says, placing a trail of kisses from her shoulder to her neck.
"How are you not tired after earlier?" She chuckles
"You energise me"
"Harvey…"
"Mmm" he says, continuing his trail of kisses against her skin.
"We have work in like four hours"
"Lucky I know the boss"
"Oh yeah?" she smiles, playing along.
"Mhmm"
Donna is certain she can feel him smirking as he pulls her backwards, shifting his kisses from her neck to her chest. Her breath hitches in her throat as he takes her nipple in his mouth, biting gently before soothing it with his tongue.
"I hear he's really hot" she breathes, continuing the act.
"Oh he is, but he's not the hottest at the firm, not even close" Harvey smirks, taking her other nipple in her mouth and repeating his previous action. Donna can feel the wetness pool between her legs, God the effect this man has on her.
Harvey slowly make his way down her stomach, kissing and licking every inch of the way.
"He's not?" she breathes
"Nah…" He answers, as he reaches his destination "…the COO is a fucking Goddess"
Harvey hooks her legs over his shoulders, relishing in her taste as he starts going down on her.
"Oh fuck" Is all she manages to muster, gripping the sheets.
Harvey wakes later that morning, his room brightly lit with the morning sun. A smile creeps across his face as he remembers the events of the night before.
"Hey you" he hears from behind him.
As he rolls over he is greeted by the sight of her propped against the headboard, scrolling on his IPad, sheets draped loosely across her chest to cover her nakedness.
"How long have you been awake?"
"I never went back to sleep, after what? The eighth time? I figured I should just stay awake or I'd be completely useless at work!"
"You're not going to work today; neither am I"
"What?"
"Donna, we've been awake most of the night having sex, neither of us are going to be any use there today, you'd probably walk in to find me asleep at my desk"
Donna laughs at the thought.
"Won't people think it's strange that we are off at the same time?"
"Firstly, you've already been off, people just think you are off with the flu, secondly, I'm the managing partner, I call the shots and thirdly, I don't give a shit"
Harvey states, sitting up and dropping a kiss on her shoulder, "Let them think what they want"
"You're the boss" she smiles, leaning in to press her lips against his. "Although, I may need to go back to my apartment to sleep …to many distractions here" she smiles.
"We'll sleep, I promise. Scouts honour" he says, determined to make her stay.
"I still need to go get some of my things" she counters.
"Why, we have everything we need here?"
"…clothes?"
"Well, what I had in mind doesn't require any clothing"
Donna raises an eyebrow at him, "Really?"
"Really" he smirks, raising her hand to drop a soft kiss against it "…after we sleep, of course!"
"Of course" she chuckles, "...You are incorrigible!"
"What are you doing?" He asks, motioning to the picture of a picturesque beach on the IPad.
"I told Rachel I'd help her research honeymoon destinations. They're trying to decide between Bora Bora, The Maldives and The Caribbean"
"First wold problems, huh?" he smiles
"Yeah" she laughs
"Do you want some coffee?"
"Love some"
Harvey gets up, locating his boxers on the floor, putting them on as he makes his way to the kitchen.
"God they all look so amazing; I'm not going to be much help with this" Donna laughs.
"I doubt very much they're going to be doing much sightseeing on their honeymoon" Harvey calls out from the kitchen.
"True" Donna agrees.
"…As long as the hotel is nice, they'll be fine" Harvey adds.
"I'm so jealous, all these places are so breathtaking"
"Why don't we go?"
"What?" Donna asks, certain she just misheard him.
"Why don't we go?" He repeats, returning to the room with their coffees.
"Harvey, be serious"
"I am being serious!"
"Neither of us has been on a vacation in years, Harvey, we can't"
"Then we both have a hell of a lot of vacation time owing to us" He says, joining her in the bed again.
"Harvey…"
"Donna, come on. I'm not joking, let me take you away, just us"
"But everyone at the firm will…"
He gives her a knowing look.
"Right …managing partner"
Donna looks down at the iPad, taking a deep breath.
"Ok" She agrees
Harvey smiles, "Really?"
"Yeah, lets choose a place and go, just us" She confirms.
"Just us"
