Suits (My Worst Partner-Enemy)

A Day Later...

8AM. ~ My Room. ~

No matter what I do, what Mike discussed with me last night hadn't left my mind. Jessica had called him to her office, threatening to expose his unethical violation to the DA if he used the file from Scottie to stop the merger. The insane part was Mike regretfully betraying Harvey. Since I've met Harvey, it was clear loyalty is everything to him, personally and professionally. Disloyalty feels like sticking a dynamite in his chest. All I could think of is how this puts me between their issue because three of us work together. But what does it mean now? The questionable feeling was getting to me. I grabbed my phone and began texting Mike.

BlueQueen👑🩵: what happened?

I waited nearly two minutes until he texted back.

Mikey: Harvey fired me.

My face turned pale in shock and horror. He what? He fired him? Over all this? I frowned.

BlueQueen👑🩵: I'm so sorry. You were in a bad position and nothing good came out of it. Not even a freaking file. But it doesn't mean we're not friends nor stop working together.😔❤️

Mikey: Thanks Liz. Means a lot. :)

I truly meant it. I'm not gonna stop being his friend because Jessica could've thrown him to jail for trying to stop the merger. I still love Harvey and it doesn't affect our relationship either. Yet ultimately, it affects our threesome partnership and mainly, friendship.

10PM. ~ Harvey's Condo ~

Whilst making sure nobody was here, a door opened and shut which startled me a little. I turned to see exactly the person I expected. Harvey. A few minutes of silence cleared the air. I stood confidently, mentally ready for any of the incoming anger. Sometimes his anger freaks me out because it's nothing but ugly. But he only seemed off instead, it made me feel bad. None of us knew who exactly should speak first. "You fired him, did you?" I blurted. He said nothing but nod and pinch the bridge of his nose. "I didn't think he'd ever betray me." He said. I nodded in understanding. "I know. Come here." I whispered softly. Harvey walked up and I hugged him. He hugged back while burying his face in my hair. "Someday, you'll have to forgive him. I know how much loyalty means to you. But forgiving helps you as well. It won't change the merger happening but perhaps it could change something else. Just give it time." I advised in a whisper. We parted, our arms still wrapped around each other. He sighed. "I'll need all the time." He muttered. I smiled softly. We kissed passionately. "By the way, how did you get in here?" He mentioned, his lips being an inch apart. A knowing smirk popped across my lips. "Donna?" He guessed matter-of-factly. I chuckled and cupped his cheek. "When will you learn?" I teased. Harvey hummed in response while locking the door and picked me up in his arms. I smirked, laughing. "You need to be upset more often." I joked. He grinned boyishly. "Only you can my day better." He said and carried me to his bedroom.

Anonymous POV, ~ Donna's Apartment. ~
James held intertwined hands with Donna whilst sitting on the couch, the sweet aroma of their favorite lattes airing on the end table. Donna felt a million pounds lighter once James flew back from Los Angeles to visit. Things were insanely changing at the firm since he left last time. Harvey at war with Jessica and Darby, the merger, Mike betrayed Harvey, Maya's return that made her feel anxious twice as much. She shouldn't have felt this way because she hadn't spoken to her since Maya caught the flu. The hidden memory of their argument at Rachel's birthday dinner still manages to cross through her mind. 'You think you know everything but you don't.' 'If I was going to be rehired, it's because I worked my ass off from morning to night and didn't need anything handed over on a silver platter and I wouldn't expect it to either. Donna, hardworking women don't take a paycheck to get rehired.' The words have become fresh when negative thoughts or memories cloud her brain. An unhappy reminder that her life can't be perfect as the clothes she wear, the handbags she carry, the morning coffees she drink, her amazing knowledge Maya refers to as 'A self-righteous know-it-all.' James became the private witness to all her hidden feelings. Especially the witness who'd show her what being loved, appreciated, valued, happy feels like. He never turned a blind eye to see through her buried pain. Donna smirked as James worked on his laptop with one hand. "You hadn't touched your latte." She spoke. He nodded knowingly. "But it's still warm." He teased. One of the things James best achieved in life was making Donna Paulsen blush. She hid a giddy grin while twirling her warm cup. "How is work?" She asked. James rubbed his temple before using both hands to type. "Pain in the ass." He said annoyedly. Putting her cup down, Donna grappled his arm and laid her head on his shoulder. "Get in line." She mumbled. He nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's been a pain in the ass to find furniture for my new apartment." He told her. Her lips were beginning to form a shocked grin. "What?" She managed to say. James turned, intertwining their hands and smiling boyishly. "You beside my parents are the first ones to know. I'm going to work remotely from home. I'm moving to New York next month." He admitted. Her shocked grin cracked into the happiest smile. Imagining James living here permanently had her mind filling with anxious thoughts. What would happen once he does? What if he stop liking her? How would her friends think of him? Will another horrible change occur? Will he forget about her and move back to Los Angeles? James must've noticed her spaced out by wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her close. She instantly squeezed his hand anxiously. "Everything's going to be fine. It's all in your head, Donna. Nothing's going to change for the worse. I'm here cause I chose to be, away from—She cut him off. "Your family? Your closest friends? Everything you know?" She whispered. The worst she could imagine is him leaving the world he knew for her. Just making the change unbearable. James smiled confidently. "My family will always see me whether it's holidays, birthdays or Christmases. Besides, my sisters live here and it's easier to work remotely, I didn't leave the firm for good. I just wanna stop working under my parents's neck and do things my way." He explained. Donna snuggled on his chest, absorbing the affectionate warmth while listening to every word. She wanted—no needed to be sure this wouldn't hurt their relationship, especially when it's under wraps. "If this is what you want James, then you better kill it in Manhattan." She spoke through gritted teeth in a serious tone.
