Chapter 2

[happy as the sun]

„Happy as the sun,

Lighter than a feather

Walking on the clouds

When we are together

Every day with you

Just keeps getting better

The worlds as it should be

When you are here with me"

[tyrone wells - happy as the sun]

I underwent a lot of awkward situations during my 35 years on this earth. From one night stands gone wrong to stranded relationship attempts to catching my sister in the act with my English teacher. But standing in an elevator with your boss you just made out with waiting for the damn thing to finally arrive on the 73rd floor because he had to buy a fucking penthouse in the fucking sky is definitely one of my favorites so far. I have to admit that I was probably the reason for this "uncomfortable atmosphere". We were standing next to each other, his hand on the small of my back again, lingering dangerously low and I was cursing high heavens for agreeing to go back with him to his place. What the hell was I thinking? That Harvey simply wanted to watch a movie with me? Eating Thai food and pouring out his depressed soul to me? Harvey was a ladies man. Everyone knew he was, so why would he waste his time with me?

That's when I felt both of his hands on my hips, flipping me around and pulling me closer to him. I looked up and instantly lost myself in his dark brown eyes for the millionth time today. Awesome Paulson, one evening with him and you're already his lost, helpless puppy. His mouth came to my ear, I closed my eyes when I felt his hot breath against my neck, waiting for what was about to come. „So" he asked in this sexy, husky voice only Harvey Specter could do. „Since sex is off the table for tonight, what about kissing?"

I laughed out nervously before I finally got it together again. Man up, Paulson!

„I never said anything against kissing" I mimicked his sexy voice, extended the space for a short period of time only to jump and straddle him vertically, silently congratulating myself for not wearing a dress right now. Jumping him right here and then got a whole new meaning right now. He caught me without even thinking about it, his hands right on my ass but I couldn't give a shit right now. My lips landed on his in an urgent need. He bit my lower lip, sucked on stand I simply marvelled the fact how a human being could be that amazing at kissing. Lots and lots of training, I guess. When our lips parted to catch our breath again, I could feel his mouth making its way down my neck and back up again to give me another passionate kiss. I jumped back on the ground when I heard the ringing of the elevator and the doors opening, the fresh air from outside causing the wet areas Harvey left on my neck to erupt in goose bumps. I've already been at his condo so many times for so many trivial reasons. I've even celebrated christmas with him once because no one of us had enough of a social life to have someone to celebrate christmas with. And here we go again again but everything felt so different. The right kind of different, though.

„You coming?" I snapped out of my daydream, smiled and followed suit. Everything was how it has always been. Harvey's condo was probably the most modern one in whole New York City yet it was so cold and so sterile that it always made me sad. There were no pictures, no personal belongings, no stuff that could purport the fact that someone was actually living here. Only white tiles and glass in order to cover up Harvey's emotional baggage. In this prospect his home couldn't mirror him in a better way.

„Alright, so there are two options for tonight" Harvey said. „ A) you're tired and want to sleep. I could give you a T-shirt and sweats and we're done for today. B) and my personal favorite one: We get something to eat, any alcoholic beverages you want, find a nice movie and hang out on the couch until you fall asleep. But it's your choice." I just starred at him in awe and marveled at the fact that he was really serious about this. „Definitely B). And I want Tequila and Chunky Monkey." I grinned at him, he grinned back and made his way to the fridge. „Of course I thought about the possibility of you wanting Chunky Monkey, so here you go" he threw a family size package across the room and I erupted in hysterical laughter. „Family size, Harvey? Really?"

„Well, you can eat like there's no tomorrow. You're even more greedy than Mike and he always orders 3 Hotdogs in order to get through the morning." I faked indignation and tried to playfully hit his chest, when he grabbed both of my palms and picked me up. I kicked and started to scream when he started to tickle me until I couldn't breathe from all the laughing anymore. He lay me down on the couch and waited for some kind of reaction from my side but I just kept quiet, silently planning my next attack. I jumped up catching him off guard and pulled him down on the couch with me. I rolled on top of him, straddling him once more and looked down on him with the sweetest smile I had to offer. „Beyond recovery I'd say, best closer in New York City" I expected some sort of cocky answer, maybe even some kind of revenge but he just lay there, looking up at me with puppy eyes and a blissful smile on his face. „You're beautiful" he blurted out, slightly out of context. I giggled, leant down and gave him a peck on the lips. I slowly started to get used to the whole Harvey and Donna in a romantic way thing.

„Where's my Tequila, Specter?" I faked a frown.

„Well, I can't move right now" he answered.

„Oh, I'm so sorry. I will never sit on you again. I probably shouldn't even get close to you again to make sure you can move a 100 per cent of your time" was my attempt of a sarcastic answer as I stood up. That already felt more familiar to me. Mocking and sarcastic answers were our thing. Harvey simply rolled his eyes. „I did not say that. And please, come here again." I laughed, letting him pull me down on his lap again. „We still need to decide on a movie. I'm open for everything." I laughed again. I knew that he would regret that statement sooner or later since I was a huge fan of insanely romantic sudsers And Disney movies.

„Hmm, what about The Notebook? I love that movie!" Aaand he was already regretting it. I could see him scrunching up his face so I tried to compromise. „You can choose the second one. And I swear, I will not fall asleep!" That definitely was a lie since I always fell asleep on the he knew it.

„Fine you win. Let's get you your alcohol and some clothes to change into and we're on it." The winner's fist, as I like to call it, on my part and I followed Harvey to his wardrobe. He handed me one of his Harvard Baseball shirts and sweat pants and I immediately started to change. I was over the fact that Harvey was staring at me, I mean sooner or later… whatever, he's already seen it. We made our way to the couch again and started the movie. What started off as casually lying next to each other ended up in 2 heavy make out sessions and me lying on his chest 2/3 into the movie. Not that I'm complaining, I just wanted to mention it.

„Okay, the movie really was awful. I mean come on,I knew how it's gonna end after 10 minutes!"

I slapped him on his arm before contradicting. „Are you fucking serious? This is like THE love story!" A doubting „Mmhh" escaped his lips. „So, second movie is my choice right? We're watching Top Gun!" A moan escaped my lips since I knew this one off by heart already. He already made me watch it on christmas. Twice. But as we lay there, cuddled up against each other, drinking Tequila, stolen kisses here and there and him stealing my Chunky Monkey (even though he still claims that he doesn't like it. Please, who doesn't like Chunky Monkey?!) I couldn't be happier. In fact, I was so happy that I fell asleep approximately 5 minutes later. Congrats, Donna. You know how to make a man happy!

I don't know for how long I've been asleep, when I felt him picking me up and carrying me somewhere, his bedroom I'd guess. Bedroom. Havey's bedroom. With Harvey.

My thoughts caused my eyes to fly open. „Hi" he grinned down at me. „You kind of broke your promise. You fell asleep. During Top Gun. This movie is one of the most important and best ones of our time, I mean how could someone EVER fall asleep during…"

„Harvey" I mumbled groggily.

„Yes?"

„Shut up."

I heard him laughing softly before he lay me down on the left side of his more than comfortable heaven he uses to call bed and I simply turned around without even changing out of my/his clothes. I listened to him running around the room, changing his clothes and brushing his teeth before the bed shifted under his weight. He crawled over to me, his arm draping its way across my waist and pushing me closer to him. His nose was in my hair and I couldn't help but ask.

„Harvey?"

„Hmm" was all he said.

„What is happening with us?" His head shot up at my words and I realized that my choice of words could've been better. A lot better, actually.

„I mean, everything kinda changed tonight. We never ever talked about what happened years ago because we didn't want to affect our work relationship and now… we're just risking it all. Is that really what you want?"

He took some time to think about my words and I waited anxiously for what was about to come.

„Listen Donna," I turned around wanting to see his face if he was about to end the world's shortest… well, thing. „I meant what I said earlier. You're the only one I have left now that Mike's irretrievably gone. And I always had feelings for you, you know that. And you always had feelings for me, I know that too. So let's just give this… thing a chance, alright? Even though everything seems to happen a lot faster than usually. I promise I'll try my best but please: Don't expect too much, you know me and my capability of having a social life let alone a relationship."

I smiled away my tears feeling slightly cheesy but I couldn't give a shit right now. Harvey wanted to give us a chance. That's all that counted.

„Well, let's just be Harvey and Donna and it will work."

I could make out his big grin even in the dimly lit room and couldn't help snuggling closer to him. Resting my head on his chest, I listened to his steadying heartbeat. I decided to just let it be for tonight. I decided not to worry him with our future for now, with how the other partners will throw a tantrum as soon as they find out about us. With Jessica leading the way.

Hi again!

I already posted the second one because oh well, I'm eager to hear from you ;) I know that everything in this story is happening rather fast and it might be a tiny bit cheesy but I was just tired of stories that take 20 chapters to where they wanna go. Don't know if you're with me but I really hope so! I apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes, I tried my best to prevent them but you never know... Anyway, since this is my first story on here and I have no idea if this is good or ... not, just tell me what you think please!

Song for next chapter:

Nitesky - Robot Koch feat. John LaMonica

(I do know that my taste in music is creepy, no need to tell me that. My family already took care of that :D)
