As soon as it turned 6 on Friday afternoon, Donna stood up and started fidgeting around Harvey's office, where he was working with Louis. They had agreed to get their paint today and she was glad Harvey's office had glass walls so she could express her impatience, walking back and forth, hoping to catch his attention.
Harvey's lips turned into a small smile that doesn't go unnoticed by Louis, despite his effort to hide it between the files in his hands. He had been watching Donna from the corner of his eyes get impatient like a six-year old.
"Are you smiling?"Louis asked unsure. "Why? It's because you enjoy working with me don't you? I do too Harvey and I wanted to say something but wasn't sure if I should" Louis said with excitement. Harvey felt bad for the guy and didn't want him to know the real reason behind his smile, so he decided to go along."Yes Louis, it's because I like working with you" he said dismissively.
Louis stood up as soon as he heard those words and walked towards Harvey who was now standing next to his desk, ready to dismiss him. He hugged him tightly; surprising Harvey who stood like a plank of wood, watching Donna mimicking him to hug back, something he does against his will.
"Aww, what did I miss?" Donna walked in with a smile, as Louis let go of Harvey. "We were just having a moment Donna" Louis said proudly. "I'll say" she commented, as Harvey sent her daggers with his eyes. "You ready to go Harvey?" she asked, as Louis curiously looked back and forth between them."Yep" he said, returning all files into appropriate orders so he would save Donna some trouble later.
"Where are you going?" Louis asked like an abandoned puppy. "We have something to do Louis. We'll continue working on that on Monday?" he asked as nicely as possible. Louis nodded before adding: "I look forward to that" with a wink and leaving the office.
"I'm sorry did I ruin the moment?" Donna asked mockingly. "Oh shut up if you weren't gravitating like the earth around me that wouldn't have happened" he shot back, turning off the lights in his office and guiding Donna by the elbow towards the elevator. "Oh so my walking made you hug Louis? I'd love to hear that story. It's okay to have emotions sometimes Harvey you know? A bit of change from a douchebag attitude. And Ex-cuse me, you are the sun and I'm the earth? Please, everyone knows I'm the sun" she argued, flipping her radiant red her behind her shoulder, making Harvey laugh.
"Alright sunshine, let's just go get that paint"
"Welcome! My name is Rebecca, how can I help you?" a young woman greeted them as they walked into the biggest paint center in NY. "We need paint colors for bathrooms, bedroom and the kitchen. We have some ideas but we could use some help" Donna said smiling back at Rebecca. "Ok come with me, I'll show you our finest collection"
Two hours later,
"Oh my god Donna we've been here for two freaking hours, just decide already!" Harvey started nagging
"Alright alright! Okay, so this one is sexually arousing so bedroom, this is definitely bathroom… you pick the kitchen!"
"We also have this red that is known for its sexual effects" the young girl said, blushing a bit at the words.
"You know from what I know…" Harvey started with a teasing tone that got Donna's full attention, "You like some action in the kitchen.."
BAM! Donna hit him on the stomach, making him growl in pain and making Rebecca laugh. "What? It's true" he continued smugly despite the pain. "We'll take that beige" she said decisively, walking towards the cashier stand.
"Don't forget to tip the poor woman, I think you traumatized her" Donna said, referring to Rebecca.
As they waited in line to pay, they overheard Rebecca on the phone "My day was boring till now. A super cute couple were quite delightful to watch bicker and argue" before her voice faded away.
"See? She thinks we're delightful" he said with a spark in his eyes. It was so very typical of him to comment on the delightful and let out the couple part. "Oh get over yourself" Donna said with a roll in her eyes, unable to suppress the small smile creeping up on her lips.
When they had almost arrived to Donna's place, Donna said: "Tomorrow I'm coming over 8 am sharp. And no I am not using the spare key so you better be up and ready" she ordered, as Ray silently laughed in the driver's seat. "See you tomorrow" she said, stepping out of the car, as Harvey said: "Thanks sunshine!" making her stomach flip
