DARVEY/ The hidden feelings

Chapter 7: Proposal #2

Another busy day at the firm. Harvey can't tell how many cups of coffee he has had, he hasn't slept for almost 2 days. The firm is in real trouble and Harvey is trying to find a way to fix it. Louis has just got married and he needs time to be with his wife, so Harvey tries not to let Louis knows anything about the problem and decides to fix it all by himself. However, Donna somehow figures there's something wrong.

"Tell me what kind of trouble we are in Harvey?
Donna enters Harvey's office without knocking the door.

"But how c-?"

"You know it's useless to ask how could I know it. You can't even sign a contract if you drink more than 3 cups of coffee, and now I don't think you can even hold anything with that hand. Moreover, you didn't reply my messages, and when I came to your house yesterday, you wasn't home."
"We're being suited by Daniel Hardman."

(So sorry because it was Daniel, I can hardly think pf a name and his just crossed my mind)

Harvey mumbled with an upset face.

"Again? That piece of shit."
Donna strictly reacted as soon as she heard that name.
"On court tomorrow, and I still can't find a solution."
This time, Harvey clearly shows his tiredness through the look on his face. Donna walks toward Harvey and sits on his lap.

"It's ok babe. You don't have to do this alone. I'll help you find the way."
Donna cups Harvey's face and caresses it.
"But first, you should get rid of these caffeine and have some rest."
Donna throws the paper cup in the bin.

Harvey spends hours at the firm but still can't find anything to fight against Hardman, so he decides to go home to get dress and have some rest like Donna's said.

Harvey changes into a black shirt and a comfortable pants. He is placing on the sofa, lying all the files around when the door bell suddenly rings. He leaves the sofa to open the door.

"Don't seem so surprised when seeing me?!"
Donna is standing out with a smile on her face, she's bringing a box of paper with her.
"I know you'll come."
"How can you believe it?"
"Because you're Donna, and Donna never lets me down."
He replies, and gives Donna a kiss on her lips.
"By the way, what's in the box?"
"Things that I've found about Daniel while you were stucking in your office with the caffeine. Maybe something will be useful."
Donna walks to the table and places the box on it
"Ok, let's get to work."

The searching continues with not many positive results.

"This?"
Donna asked.
"Already tried. But this is what Daniel want us to do, step in the trap that he has made"
Donna shows her disapointment after Harvey said. Harvey moves closer to her and comforts.
"It's okay, we still have plenty of time. We'll soon find the way."
Harvey is really stressful, things are gonna be terrible if he loses the trial but he tries to be calm. He should be so that Donna will feel the same.

At one point Harvey noticed her nodding off, sign that Donna is tired.
"You should go to bed"
He offered.

"No, I'm fine. Just a little bit sleepy. How can I go to bed, how can I leave you alone with this."

He smiles to reply. He realizes how much he loves and appreciates her. She always be there when he needed her, or even when he didn't. He never can be Harvey Specter without her, and he definitely can lose everything just to have her in his life.

"Thank you Donna."
He sighed.
"Oh my god..."
Donna screamed.
"Me saying thank you to you could make you shocked like that?!"
"Gzzz... Not that, take a look at this."
Donna throws Harvey a strange look then gives the piece of paper she's holding to Harvey.
"Damn it, how could I not find out. This son of a bitch... He really can live happily after these things?!"
Harvey mumbled angrily.
"Oh, and I've just found another thing from 5 years ago. We definitely will win with all this."
"Not only will we win, we're gonna beat the shit out of him."
Harvey said excitedly.
"Thanks to me. You had better buy me dinner Harvey. I'll go get some champage to celebrate our winning."
Donna said. She stands up to go look for champage. Harvey is lost in his mind, not about the case, there's another thing in his mind.

"Hey Harvey, what do you want, white wine or red?"
Donna shouting drags him back to reality.
"Neither of them."
"What? Or you'd prefer whiskey?"

"None of them! Forget about the drink. It just suddenly came to my mind. What if we got married?"
Harvey lets all his thought out and said the same as what he had said few days ago.
"Again?!"
Donna moaned, she walks back with two glasses of wine.
"You have almost a week to think about that."

"This can impact my whole life Harvey. A week definitely is not enough!!!"
Donna nearly shouted into his face. And as soon as she realizes the sad look on Harvey's face, she feels regretful for shouting at him.
"Harv, I didn't mean to be mad at you."
"It's okay Don. I must be so hasty... I just really want us to live together. I want to know what if it happens"
Harvey replied sadly.
"We don't have to, cause we can. I mean, we don't have to get married to live together. You can stay at my house and I can stay at yours, but we also still have time alone sometimes. And I'm not ready yet to be tied up with marriage."
Donna sighed. She lays down next to Harvey and caress his face. He tries to avoid looking straight to her face but in the end, he can't help but leaning in to kiss her. When it comes to Donna, he can't never pretend to be cold because she'll soon find out, or, he will be lost in her beautiful eyes and forget what he's trying to do.

"Tell me when you're ready. I really want to know your answer."
He breaks the kiss and whispers to her ears.
"I will, as soon as I have my answer."
She rests her head on his shoulder. He'll have a trial tomorrow and he hasn't slept for 3 days, she should let him have some rest before his victory.
"Good night handsome."
She whispers, he doesn't reply cause he's already fallen asleep.

The next morning, Harvey wakes up with a familiar smell in his noses. Donna is laying on his chest, sleeping soundly likes a small sheep. They've spent their night on the sofa doing nothing much but having a rest for themselves. Harvey plays with her red hair and kisses on her forehead.
"You should sleep a little more Harv. It's still really early."
Donna moaned.
"Oh, did I wake you up?"
"Nah it's ok. I'm not feel like sleeping anymore."

She smiles back, and embraces him in her arms. They enjoy the comfortable silence like it could last forever.
