After Harvey left Julianne's apartment, she went into the bedroom and sat on her bed. She couldn't believe what just took place. Did I really just make out with Harvey? How did that happen? One thing is sure, I finally know how he feels.
Juli tries to fall asleep, but she can't. Thoughts of Harvey swim through her brain. The way he held her in his arms, the way his lips felt against hers. How their tongues were in a perfect rhythm with one another. First kisses tend to be awkward and sloppy. This kiss however, was nothing like that. There was a sense of familiarity with him, one that's unexplainable, considering they hardly know one another.
Juli was just about ready to leave for work when her phone chirped. Juli picks up her BlackBerry and noticed the e-mail icon at the top of her screen. She clicks on it.
Juli,
I'm sorry for e-mailing you all the time, I promise I know how to text and make phone calls. I just wanted to let you know that I had a great time last night. I didn't want to leave, but I knew if I didn't go when I did, you'd never be able to get rid of me. It's going to be hard to see you at work today and not want to give you a kiss.
-Harvey.
Juli just sat back on her sofa; she can't believe this is happening to her. As she sits there daydreaming, her phone starts ringing. Hoping that it's Harvey, picking up her phone, she sees Greg's name appear on the phone. Shit! Of course, right when things start getting good.
"This is Juli," she says reluctantly.
"Juli, you answered."
"What? I'm about to leave for work."
"I'm thinking about coming to New York for a few a days."
"Oh God, no!"
"What? You won't be excited to see me?"
"Greg, why are you doing this?"
"I miss you Juli. I was a fool…"
"Please, just stop it. I told you, I don't want to be with you anymore. It's over between us. I've… I've… moved on."
"I doubt that."
"Greg, you're an ass. Please, quit calling me."
Juli sits quietly at her desk doing research. She hasn't spoken to anyone since she's been at work. Juli is completely oblivious to everything around her; she doesn't notice that Mike is standing in front of her desk.
"Juli!" Mike shouts
Startled, "Holy shit! How long have you been there?"
"Long enough to feel ignored."
"Sorry, just focused."
"What are you working on?"
"Some shit for Louis."
"Whoa, what's with the foul language so early in the morning?" Juli pushes her work away from her angrily.
"Dumbass Greg called me this morning. I'm so sick of not being able to ignore his calls."
"What'd he want?"
"Apparently he's coming to New York. He had some nerve to seem peeved that I didn't want to see him. What pissed me off the most, when I told him I've moved on, he didn't believe me! For God sake Mike it's been 4 fucking years."
"Don't get mad, but you really haven't gotten over him."
"I know that, and you know that, but damnit, he doesn't need to know that."
Juli hangs her head down, and buries her face in her palms.
"Oh Juli, don't cry." Mike walks around grabs a chair and slides it near Juli. He just wraps his arms around her and she turns and cries into his chest.
Mike is at his desk pretending to do something, when in actuality he's keeping his eye on Juli. Ever since her break down this morning he can't help but worry about her. The phone on his desk rings.
"Mike Ross."
"Harvey would like to see you in his office," Donna says.
"Be right there."
Mike walks into Harvey's office. "Hey, what's up?"
"What am I? You're frat brother?"
"Sorry, what can I do for you?"
"Better. How's the progress on the Stover case?"
"It's um," clearing his throat, "It's coming along."
"Damnit Mike, you haven't done anything have you?"
"I started too, I was doing pretty well too, then Juli started crying and now I can't stop staring at her to make sure she's okay."
"Juli was crying?" Harvey is trying to figure out why she would cry? She hadn't e-mail him back from this morning. He's starting to worry now.
"Her ex called her; she's all messed up this morning."
"Oh, well… okay. Just get this stuff done." Harvey gets up and walks out of his office.
As Mike watches Harvey just walk right out of the office, "Okay then, talk with you later."
Harvey rushes to Juli's desk.
"Come with me."
"Excuse me?" Juli replies.
"Come with me, please. Let's get out of the office for a few."
"I don't know if I can pull myself away from my desk, Louis…"
"Forget what he needs and come with me. Come on! Let's go!"
Juli get's up and follows Harvey to the elevator. Harvey and Juli wait for the people to file out of the elevator. Mike, being one to get off the elevator, spots the two of them. "Where are you guys going?"
Harvey looks at Mike, "To get coffee."
"Cool, I could use some coffee."
As Juli and Harvey walk onto the elevator Harvey says, "Well, too bad. You're not coming," and the doors shut right in front of Mike's face.
"Rude" Mike says aloud, to know one.
"Harvey, why are you having me go with you to get coffee?"
"Because, Mike told me about the morning you've had."
"Ugh, why? It's embarrassing enough that I cried at work, I don't need people knowing."
The doors open to the elevator and the two get out. They walk to the nearest street coffee vendor. While Harvey goes to grab the coffees, Juli takes a seat on a nearby bench.
"Here you go."
"Thanks."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Not really, no." Just as she stops talking her phone goes off. She pulls the phone out of her pocket, dreading who it might be. Oh thank God, it's Ryan.
"Sorry, it's my brother, let me take this."
"Go ahead."
"Hey Ryan."
"Hey Juls, can you talk for a minute?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Greg called me earlier."
"What the fuck Ryan? Why are you telling me this?" Harvey is taken aback that she dropped the 'f-bomb,' "He told me he's trying to make a mends with you, but you won't listen to him."
"Look, Ryan, it's a little too late for that. Please, quit talking to him. Quit talking to me about him. Quit telling me he's sorry."
"Ju-Ju, I'm sorry. I just feel bad for the guy!"
"Goodbye Ryan. I love you." Juli doesn't wait for a reply from her brother; she slams her phone down on the space next to her.
"I take it that it wasn't an encouraging conversation?"
Juli just shakes her head, "You know what you need Juli? A nice stiff drink, maybe, five or six of them."
"That would be great! Oh my gosh, that would be fantastic."
"Let's grab some drinks, after work tonight. What d'ya say?"
"I'm in, way in."
Harvey slides closer to her on the bench, he put one arm around her and she leans her head on his shoulder. He kisses her softly on the forehead.
