AN: So I'm going through serious Suits withdrawal. And also after the finale I can't stop obsessing over Harvey and Donna. Anyway, I was looking up the Bond movies on Netflix and it came to me: Miss Monneypenny. I mean she's one of the most famous assistants/secretaries of all time right? So I did a bit of research (and by research I mean I Wikipedia-ed this) and found out that there are actually a lot of ties between Miss Monneypenny and Bond and their romantic undercurrent. And when you're thinking of Suits and Bond who'd be a better Bond than Harvey Specter? And since Harvey is really into movies, I figured he wouldn't be able to help bringing up the comparison at some point.
Hope you like it!
It was a beautiful Saturday night in New York City. On this particular Saturday Night the firm of Pearson-Hardman was hosting their annual gala for clients. It was being held in a large event hall in one of New York's priciest hotels and partner attendance was mandatory.
Harvey Specter leaned against the balcony railing in his best tuxedo, his eyes drifting lazily over the Hudson as he took in the surrounding lights and skyscrapers. By this time in the evening Harvey was tired. He had either been chatting up clients or been forced to stand next to Louis and chat up clients. The only mildly interesting thing that had happened was the cocktail waitress hitting on him, and even then she hadn't been able to hold his interest for more than a few minutes.
He sighed, sipping his drink, wishing Mike were there so he could at least be amused. But associates generally weren't invited until at least their third year with the firm.
Harvey was contemplating trying to duck out early. He was busy scanning for possible exit points when he heard the clacking of heels behind him.
'Better not be that waitress again' But what he heard was definitely not the waitress's annoyingly high chirp.
"You never take me to dinner looking like this James. You never take me to dinner, period" Harvey smiled. There was only one woman he knew who could quote Bond to him. Donna.
Turning around Harvey's signature smirk left his face. He was met with the sight of a beautiful woman. Her red hair was in soft curls around her face, her midnight blue dress shimmering in the night. And he was a bit ashamed to admit the long slit up the dress ending at her thigh left him a little breathless. After a second of staring he recovered quickly,
"I would you know, only M would have me court-martialed for illegal use of government property" he spoke, taking a step closer. She mimicked his movements and he found her eyes only inches away from his.
'Even her eyes are perfect'
"Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying" Donna smirked, taking a few steps further she leaned against the balcony looking out into the night.
Damn, she was gorgeous.
"Your Bond needs a little work" she said. Her words snapped him out of his stare.
"My Bond is flawless, I do a perfect Connery" he said turning back to face the view with her.
"So how are you holding up? I noticed you looking for an escape route"
'How can she read me so well?' he thought. His facial expression must have mirrored his thoughts because Donna let out a chuckle.
"You don't think I know you that well? Please, after all this time I can pretty much read your mind"
"Really? Alright, go for it. What am I thinking this very second?" He looked at her expectantly, bringing his glass of scotch up to his lips for another sip. But before he could take one Donna snatched it out of his hands. She looked into the amber liquid for a few seconds, swirling it. She brought the glass to her lips and drank. Harvey was about to protest that she was drinking his drink when she spoke again.
"You're thinking," she said shifting so they were facing each other, "that you would love to give Ray a call to bring the car around…" Donna took a small step forward so their bodies were incredibly close,
"so that you could take me home…." She leaned forward so her mouth was at his ear, "with you".
Harvey's mind was blank. All he could think about was the scent of Donna's perfume and the way her hair brushed his face.
Abruptly Donna pulled away and shoved the glass of scotch back in his hand. Spinning on her heel she started walking away.
"So does that mean I can give Ray a call then?" Harvey spoke up, the confidence back in his voice.
Donna paused and looked over her shoulder.
"Maybe next time" she said with a wink and proceeded to walk over to the other partner's assistants.
Damn.
'Mental note: take Donna out to dinner sometime. Soon.'
So I hope you liked it. The dialogue was from the movie Dr. No. I'm thinking about doing some follow up Harvey/Donna one-shots with quotes from Moneypenny and Bond. Tell me what you think. Thanks for reading and please leave a review with your thoughts. Thanks!
