Power & Control (Harvey Specter fanfiction)

Chapter 9

(...)

I heard my phone going off interrupting my sleep as I groaned, I opened one of my eyes and moved my hand towards the nightstand until I felt it vibrate under my hand so I took it and looked at the bright screen. 

*Harvey Specter calling*

 I swiped my finger to answer the call

"Do you know what time it is?" I mustered in a groggy voice

"Exactly 8:05...your phone has a clock you know" he responded in a snarky and obviously amused tone

"What I meant to say was why the hell are you calling me this early on a Saturday?" I said with a clearer tone as I rubbed my eyes and started officially waking up

"Because you told me if I wanted to go out with you I needed to let you know in advance so, I'm giving you an 11 hour notice"

"I'm tempted to decline just because you woke me up this early on a weekend"

"Oh c'mon it's not that early plus you should always wake up at the same time everyday so your body gets used to a schedule"

"Yeah yeah well, I just prefer to sleep in whenever I get the chance"

"So, dinner at 7?"

"Where?"

"I'll pick you up"

"Ok...oh hey wait a second"I said remembering last night

"Yeah?"

"Is the blonde still there?" I was now sitting with my legs crossed on my bed

"Oh Amelia" he took a deep breath "why do you want to know?"

"I'm just curious"

"More like jealous" I could almost see in my mind how he was smirking on the other side of the line

"Ha!, in your dreams" wasn't my sharpest comeback I must admit,  but I had just woken up and my brain was not fully on yet

"I'll tell you all about it during our dinner"

"Yeah Harvey talking about another woman sounds like such an enjoyable dinner" I said sarcastically 

"You're the one who asked"

"Yeah, a simple yes or no question"

"I offered to answer it at dinner"

"Answer the question Mr. Specter" I had adopted that courtroom tone so my voice was low and strong

"I'll answer it at dinner" he sounded amused by the whole situation 

"Now" I said authoritatively

"Is Frank there?" he asked in the same authoritative tone as mine

"You didn't answer my question" I quickly responded

"You didn't answer mine" he replied 

"I asked first"

"Ladies first"

"I'll take that as a yes she's still there"

"And I'll take that as a Frank is there too"

"Go right ahead" I wasn't going to give him the pleasure of telling him Frank wasn't with me if he was not interested in answering my question first

"So, dinner?" he asked in a softer tone of voice changing the subject

"Ok, 7 sharp don't be late" I hung up before he could even respond

Time flew by, I got to do some work, call my parents and organize the apartment a little. Before I knew it, it was 6 and I needed to start getting ready. I laid down an outfit on the bed before I hopped in the shower. After doing my hair and makeup with all the time in the world I slipped into the outfit I had chosen for the night. A black top with a high waisted pleated coral skirt that stopped right above my knees,  paired with an emerald green clutch and black Manolos, I decided to let my hair down in soft curls  and I only chose emerald stud earrings as my jewelry for the night to go with the clutch and I was ready to go. 

I looked at my phone which read 6:57, I was expecting him to be on time so I proceeded to get some things into my clutch and have a final look at myself in the mirror. 

*buzz* *Harvey Specter: I'm out front*

I quickly typed a response

*I'll be right out*

As I walked out of my building and onto the street I saw  Harvey leaning back with his arms crossed over his chest on an Aston Martin DB9. The cold spring air hit my shoulders as I had decided against any type of jacket for the night, decision that I didn't regret despite the cold. Harvey was sporting a black suit with a light blue shirt and no tie, it was an elegant outfit but not having a tie and having a couple of buttons undone made it a little more relaxed and laid back.  I have to give it to him, he is a great looking man. 

"Right on time" I said still from a far as I walked admiring his great look against the car

"Always" he said with a smug look on his face while I saw his eyes looking at me up and down as I walked closer to him 

"Nice ride" I remarked while I leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek 

"You know cars?" he asked while opening the passenger door so I could get in

"I'm an enthusiast" I said before he shut the door

Harvey walked over to the driver's side and got into the car

"Impress me" he said with a defiant tone of voice referring to the car as the engine reved 

"Aston Martin DB9, 6 liter engine, 540 horsepower" I said off the top of my head while I put my seatbelt on

"Nice, so you appreciate it"

"Of course I do.... I appreciate a lot of things" I remarked with a smirk knowing I had indeed impressed him "so where are we going?"

"To a restaurant" he responded as the car took up speed

"Obviously, care to tell me which one it is?"

"You really don't like not knowing where we're going do you? he said as he took his eyes off the road for a second to look at me 

"Not really"

"Well you'll know when we're there"

"Ugh fine" I was only mildly annoyed so I decided to let it go

"Why'd you want to know about the blonde?" he asked after a couple seconds of silence, I could tell he had been wanting to know the answer to that question by his impatient body language
