Chapter 2
Opening one eye she flinched at the bright light shining directly onto her face. Not having the willpower to open her other eye she decided to close them both again and just lay in bed until the sun was down again. And if she hadn't heard a chuckle next to her she would have probably done so, she shot up and was sitting in the bed in a matter of seconds. She hadn't remembered bringing someone home. She froze then, needing a moment to realise what was happening in front of her.
"Hey there sleepy head." Harvey was standing in front of her, a coffee in one hand and a glass with water and Aspirin in the other
The redhead groaned bringing one hand to her forehead to rub her temples "Harvey what the hell am I doing here?" Before he answered he basically forced the glass of water into her hand and motioned for her to drink it.
"Well Donna," he bagan, sounding like he was about to tell a goodnight story. "You showed up here at 3am and if I remember correctly you were very drunk." The typical Specter smirk faded quickly when he took a moment to appreciate the picture in front of him, Donna Paulsen in his bed. Her eyes were still not completely open and she had her nose crunched up but god she looked beautiful. Her red waves were messily falling over her shoulders, some strands were even sticking in different directions than the others and on top of all of that she was wearing his shirt. The shirt with his initials, his shirt that would smell like Donna the next time he wore it.
Curious as to what happened the previous night, Donna let her eyes wander around the room, glancing down at herself she realised that she wasn't wearing any of her own clothes.
"Harvey," she started not sure if she even wanted to continue the sentence. "Why am I wearing your shirt?" After a small break she continued her voice sounding small and a little afraid "We didn't… did we?"
"Don't worry you're wearing my shirt because you undressed yourself in the kitchen and refused to put your clothes back on," he smiled at her face, her mouth wide open and her eyes almost doubled in size "close your mouth before a fly flies in" he added with a grin
Donna pulled herself together quite fast after his comment. "Well that's good then, anything else would have been-"
Harvey interrupted her and finished the sentence for her "A mistake, I know" his voice had lost the playful and happy tone that had been there just a few seconds ago.
Donna straightened her posture, put the now empty glass of water on his bedside table and stood up, "I should go"
Three small words, three small words that had so much power that Harvey could feel his heart aching. Pulling himself together he gave the redhead in front of him the cup of coffee "Drink this first, you'll feel better afterwards and besides that I washed your clothes they are still a little wet"
She gave him a thankful smile and walked to the kitchen without saying another word.
He let out a sigh when he knew she couldn't hear him anymore and trotted to the kitchen where he saw that she had sat down on one of the stools at his counter, it seemed like she hadn't tried to find any more clothes. She was still only wearing his shirt. It took everything he had in him not to stare at her legs because he knew once he would look he would not be able to look away, especially with her telling him that she… that she wanted him the night before.
Harvey took a deep breath and stepped behind the counter. "Anything I can get you? More coffee, some food?"
She shook her head and smiled at him "Thanks Harvey, I'm good."
An uncomfortable silence fell over them then, Donna sipping at her coffee every now and then and Harvey still standing behind the counter looking at everything but her.
She cleared her throat and looked up at him "Harvey can I ask you something?" Her voice sounded quieter than usual which surprised Harvey.
Trying to lighten up the mood he replied, "Well you did just technically ask me something."
Her voice sounded a bit stronger and more confident than it did before "Harvey I'm serious."
He nodded then, motioning her to continue and ask what she wanted to ask so badly.
She took a deep breath and swallowed the anxiety that had build up inside her. "Did something happen?" Before she continued to talk she closed her eyes for a second, her head was still killing her and this conversation wasn't helping "I know we didn't- we didn't sleep together but did anything else happen?"
He swallowed the lump that formed in his throat and made the decision to lie to her, she would just feel bad if he told her what happened... what she said to him.
"Because I wanted it since day one… since the other time" the words echoed in his head.
"Harvey?" her voice was quiet but stubborn
"Sorry, We didn't do anything Donna." He turned away from her and made himself another coffee "Nothing happened," he added with a shrug.
"You know that I can see when you are lying, what really happened?" She said, forcing a smile onto her face, she was afraid of what was gonna come now. She knew that deep down she still had feelings about Harvey that were not based on their friendship and she wouldn't be surprised if she did actually try anything, but he denied it. It was nothing new that he denied his feelings but this- this meant that he didn't want anything to happen between them, otherwise he would have said something...right?
His jaw clenched while his expression hardened, of course he wanted to tell her but what if she didn't mean what she did? What if she would regret it? He didn't want things to change. He needed her and he couldn't risk losing her but she would know if he lied, she always knew. "Donna," his voice barely a whisper "You tried to kiss me- well you didn't try, you succeed but don't worry I stopped it"
Donna's expression softened "Why?"
"Why what?" his forehead was wrinkled, a quizzical expression in his face, she looked too calm, she couldn't possibly be asking why he had stopped her, could she?
"Why did you stop me, Harvey?" Her voice seemed oto calm and her face seemed too relaxed.
"Donna you were drunk! I could never let anything happen between us while you were drunk, that would be wrong!"
Her voice was softer than usually when she spoke. "Is that the only reason?"
Now he was officially confused, he knew this woman was a damn mystery but what in god's name was she trying to do? he nodded, his face washed with confusion not knowing what to say or do.
She stood up then, knowing exactly what she wanted and eager to get it. The redhead would later blame this on her hangover, but when she was halfway around the counter she tripped over… well over nothing.
Harvey was once again by her side in seconds but this time he actually caught her. Her arms swung around his neck and his hands were on her hips. Neither of them were able to move and neither minded the sudden contact.
She leaned up until her lips were just an inch away from his, she could feel his breath on her skin, making all of her hairs stand up.
He couldn't think, his mind was totally blank. His eyes closing on instinct, hands tightening the grip on her waist. Having a sudden craving for whipped cream and her.
She closed the distance between them, pulling him closer to her, suddenly feeling an ache in her lower abdomen.
Lips melting together, they moved against each other, a sweet kiss turning into one filled with hunger for each other that had been repressed for over a decade.
"Donna," he breathed out between kisses only getting a hum in response, "Donna-" he forgot what he wanted to say then her hands in his hair and her lips on his being too big of a distraction.
"Fuck it," he managed to get out in between kisses. He managed to direct them in the way of his bedroom, neither of them looking where they walked, too consumed by each other. They finally reached his bedroom. Stepping aside, he placed one hand on her cheek the other still on her hip. He parted from her to take a moment to appreciate what was happening before he leaned in again and closed the bedroom door with his foot.
THE END
