Author's Note:
Hello again people!
I just want to say thanks for the reviews/follow/favourite and especially thanks to the support I have gotten, it's amazing how some strangers on the internet can really brighten up my day so thanks.
A couple of weeks ago I moved to my very own aparment which is both good cause it gives me the peace and quiet I need for my writing but it has also been really bad for my mental health.
On a more positive note, I'm getting a cat this Saturday (a cat that happens to be one of the kittens our family cat gave birth too) and I'm really excited for his arrival.
I'm also very inspired in general right now so I'm hoping to update this story again in maybe a week or so.
Okay enough about my life and on to the story.
Thanks for reading :)
CHAPTER 11
It wasn't like he was purposely snooping, he had just gotten very bored and decided to change from sitting on the couch to sitting in Harvey's vacant office chair.
The file had been laying on the desk and even if he knew that he shouldn't touch it, he was curious to know what the case was about.
Mike looked over at Donna but the secretary was too occupied by her own work to notice what he was doing.
He just meant to take quick peek, just to get a general idea about the case, but soon found himself thoroughly reading through the case and even subconsciously writing little notes in the margin.
It was a really interesting case and he got completely lost in it, which is why he completely missed that Harvey came back.
Harvey questioned what he was doing and Mike felt like a child being caught with the hand in the cookie jar.
He apologized before he went back to the couch, feeling a little ashamed over the fact that he had been snooping but it did feel a little better after Harvey thanked him for managing to find a mistake.
That evening they sat down and watched the second Godfather movie, which was a good movie even if it wasn't as good as its predecessor.
The night after that they watched the third movie and once they were out of Godfather movies they moved on to other classic films that Mike hadn't seen such as E.T and The Wizard of Oz.
It seemed like it was the best way for them to bond since they both loved watching movies and then quoting them afterwards, both of them also enjoyed driving Donna crazy with the constant movie quotes.
Mike figured that he must have gotten the movie interest from Harvey, considering the fact that his mother had rarely watched movies and on the rare occasions that she did, she became very easily bored and restless.
The weekend came along much quicker than Mike had expected and on Saturday morning Donna came by.
Harvey had intended for him to spend his grounded weekend in the apartment but after the man had realized that he would have to bring some extra work home with him, Donna had weasled her way in.
So now he was supposed to spend the day with Donna which, according to Harvey, meant shopping, shopping and even more shopping.
Mike didn't mind shopping, he just wasn't particularly fond of the kind of shopping that lasted
forever, which is why he felt nothing but dread when Donna walked into the apartment.
Harvey was in the kitchen, cleaning up after their breakfast while Mike was lying on the couch, reading a book.
Donna greeted Harvey before she looked over at Mike.
"He's reading a book."
Donna pointed out, as if Mike couldn't hear her and Harvey just hummed in response.
"That's sad, I should get him a Playstation."
She continued, causing Mike to turn all of his focus to the conversation.
He had always been jealous of Trevor who had his own Playstation and a bunch of cool games.
"Please don't spoil my kid."
Harvey, the party pooper, answered.
"I actually don't mind being spoiled."
Mike added and he heard Harvey sigh while Donna just giggled in delight.
Mike was more than a little surprised when the shopping turned out to be focused on him.
He had fully expected to be dragged from store to store while Donna did her shopping but instead she was intent on doing exactly what Harvey had told her not to do.
Mike could probably point at everything he wanted and Donna would most likely buy it for him, but he didn't try this out since his parents had taught him to not take advantage of people's generosity.
He didn't mind people buying him things, but there was a fine line between him being fine with it and him thinking that the person was spending too much money on him.
There was no stopping Donna though, and even after Mike had way more new clothes than he would ever need, he was told to pick out some more.
They even ended up getting a tailored suit, even if Mike didn't think that he needed one while Donna insisted that since he was Harvey Specter's son he definitely needed one.
Apart from clothes she bought him a new backpack for school, even if there was nothing wrong with his old one, some décor for his room and some new books.
Eventually they ended up in front of the game consoles and even if Mike felt like he was in heaven, he couldn't help to think about what Harvey had said.
"Are you sure Harvey would be okay with this?"
He asked her while she picked up a box with a Playstation 4 and handed it to him.
"Oh honey, your dad might be my boss at work but outside of it, I'm the boss of him."
She stated with a wink and Mike didn't doubt that statement for even a second.
The secretary then helped him pick out some games, unfortunately making him choose age appropriate games even if he had played many of the games she thought he was "too young for" at Trevor's house.
They ended their day together by eating ice cream outside the mall while Donna told him stories about Harvey, for example about that time that Harvey had dyed his hair pink after losing a bet.
Donna promised to show him pictures of that someday, she had the pictures safely hidden away so that Harvey wouldn't get the chance to get rid of them.
Shen then took him back to the apartment, where Harvey was still working.
He stared at all the stuff that Donna had bought with a look that basically said "disappointed but not surprised."
Donna turned out to be the perfect "cool aunt" who showed up to spoil him, tell him fun stories and then return him to Harvey and let him do the actual parenting.
"I couldn't stop her."
Mike told Harvey once Donna had gone home and they were left with what seemed like million of shopping bags.
"I know."
He just answered while giving the Playstation a disapproving look.
"Can I please keep it?"
Mike asked, fearing that Harvey would return it.
"Fine but there's going to be some rules."
"Thanks Harvey!"
He exclaimed and without thinking he gave the man a quick hug before he grabbed the Playstation and ran over to the TV to set it up.
