Power & Control (Harvey Specter fanfiction)

Chapter 25

*Buzz buzz buzz*

"Why are you calling me after business hours?"

"Just checking on how you left Logan?"

"Who says I left him?"

"If you hand't you wouldn't have answered the call"

"Touché, he was still still standing but a little tipsy if you must know"

"Good to know"

"I'm confused did you call to check on Logans well being or to make sure I wasn't with him anymore?" I asked in a false confused tone of voice

"His well being of course, he's my client"

"Right" I said unconvinced as I handed the cab driver a 20 and exited the car walking towards my building "anything else I can help you with Harvey?"

"Not at all Ms. Lewis have a good night"

"You too"

Saturday night had quickly sneaked up on me, I was putting the finishing touches on my makeup as I had an event to attend. The long emerald dress with a plunging back hugged my curves to perfection as I hurried to put my strappy black heels and went down in the elevator putting a bold red lipstick on in the mirror completing the effortless summer look.

An incredibly sharp looking Frank in an impecable all black suit with a couple of buttons of his shirt undone was waiting for me outside in his silver Audi R8.

"How am I going to keep my eyes off you the entire night?"

"Frank" I said as I grabbed his arm and kissed his cheek

"I'm serious I don't think I can do it"

"Oh should I change into something less...distracting?"

"Not at all you look gorgeous I'll just have to exercise the most of my will power" he opened the car door for me and seconds later the engine revved beneath our seats as we took the streets

The valet parking opened the door for me and Frank appeared by my side as I wrapped my arm around his. As we rode the evaluator up to the rooftop bar of the Gansevoort Hotel the booming music became more evident to my ears, the steel doors opened in front of us to reveal a bright turquoise pool in the middle of the place in contrast with the stunning view of the meatpacking district skyline and of course it's main attraction the Empire State Building towered above using the distance. The 360º view was lined with pristine and crystal clear glass partitions that protected us from the wind keeping the ambience at the perfect temperature.

The reason we were there was one of Franks friends birthday party and even though at first I was a little hesitant to attend, he had convinced me after the time we had spent together. Over the past month or so we had gone on a couple of dates after our whole nightclub scene together and I had gotten to know him a little better, even though we were just getting to know each other I was looking forward to spending my night with him.

"Let me introduce you to some of my friends" he said as we walked over to a group of people who were gathered next to the pool all dressed in beautiful dresses and suits tailored to perfection

As the night progressed the rooftop became more and more crowded with people. I walked over to the bar to order a drink so I could cool off a little.

"Mojito please" I asked the bartender and rested my weight against the bar

"Beer, Corona" I heard a familiar voice next to me and turned my head

"Harvey Specter"

"Amelia Lewis"

"Fancy meeting you here"

"New York is a small town"

"Well, cheers to that" I said clinking our glasses in the air

"You look great by the way" Harvey said without really looking at me as he took a sip from his beer and looked at the stunning view in front of us

"Thanks " I responded as our conversation came to a peaceful silence

Ever since I had joined the firm Harvey and I had remained professional, even though the tension between us was apparent and there were the sneaky comments here and there we both had managed to stick to the professional setting of things and everything was working well. As I have said before, I know Harvey and he's just not up for anything formal plus the fact that we were working together factored in to our little rendezvous stopping.

"Hey I thought I had lost you to the crowd" Frank came out of the sea of people and placed his hand on my lower back causing a small shiver to go up my spine "who did you run into?"

"Oh you remember Harvey Specter? We work together"

"Sure I remember" he extended his hand and shook Harvey's firmly

"Hey do you want to go dance?" Frank asked

"Yeah see you around Harvey" I said before being driven to the dance floor by Frank

(...)

After dancing for a while we had ended up in conversation with some of Franks friends. I was hot from all the dancing and to be honest the conversation bored me. It was what I normally refer to as "bro talk" which I was not interested in at all so, I left Frank with his friends, sneaking around without he even noticing which spoke to how much I was engaged in the conversation and quickly searched for one of the couches to sit down and relax a while.

As I looked down at my phone as a distraction I heard Harvey's voice a few feet away from me. He was speaking to a rather stunning looking brunette with big blue eyes, tan skin and a white dress that made her body stand out in the middle of the crowd. Their conversation looked very involved so I steered my eyes away from the group and returned to my phone screen.
