Josh stood at the door to his office
and stared in at the corridor Donna had just run down. He’d come out when he heard her yell but he hadn’t been
quick enough to the door so she’d gone. Sighing he wondered back over to his
desk and sat down. He’d been a real jackass to Donna that day and had badly
wanted to apologise for his actions and now it was too late. He could go to her
apartment but there were probably a hundred reasons why he shouldn’t, well, no
not really, In actual fact he was a little scared of what Donna was gonna say
to him.
On the other hand, he thought it was
probably no worse than what she would say if he left it till tomorrow. Grabbing
his jacket he turned off the lights and headed towards the parking lot.
***
As Donna predicted by the time she got
home she had 45 minutes to get ready and now with only 30 minutes to go, she
stood in front of her wardrobe with
Olivia her room mate, trying to decide what to wear.
“I like the blue dress. It’s sexy.”
Olivia said flopping down on to Donnas bed. “Plus I can put your hair in a
French twist and it’ll look great.”
Frowning Donna looked over at her room
mate. “You don’t think it’s a little over the top just for dinner.”
“Nope. It’ll be perfect. Do you know
where he’d taking you?”
“I don’t have a clue but knowing Sam
it’ll be somewhere up market.”
Olivia, who had met Sam, CJ and Josh on
several occasions agreed. “Come on, if I’m gonna do your hair we’d better start
now.”
Donna did as she was told and sat down
on the floor in front of Olivia before beginning to speak. “You know Josh is
still mad at me over leaving the party with Sam. He didn’t speak to me all day
unless he had to.”
Rolling her eyes, Olivia replied “He’s
just jealous because you’re showing a concern for someone other than him…and
you stood up to him, that by the way, I’m proud of you for.” Smiling slightly
Donna took a sip of the white wine which Olivia had poured out for her earlier
and thought for a minute.
“What do I do about him?”
“Nothing for now. Forget about him, go
out with Sam and have a good time.” Both women stood up when they heard a knock
at the front door. “Sams early.”
Olivia made her way to the door while
Donna hastily pulled on her dress but stopped when she heard her room mate say “Josh.”
Her brow furrowed in confusion she finished dressing and walked out into the
lunge where Josh was stood looking at his feet.
“Josh, what are you doing here?”
Looking up Josh holding out to her the
yellow rose which he had picked up from a florist on his way from the White
House to her apartment. “I came to apologise for acting like a complete jerk
today… I guess I was just a bit jealous of you spending so much time over the
last couple of days with Sam.”
Donna smiled slightly and took the rose
from Josh and turning to Olivia “Could you put this in some water for me?”
Taking the hint Olivia took the rose and went into the kitchen leaving Josh and
Donna alone. “You know I am allowed to have friends other than you right? I
don’t control who you see and you shouldn’t try to control who I see.”
Joshs head jerked up slightly and
looked at her “Your seeing Sam?” Shrugging Donna sat down. “I might decide to,
I’m going to dinner with him tonight and I like him.” Nodding slightly Josh
indicated to the door.
“I should probably go, you need to
finish getting ready.” He walked over the door and opened it before turning
back to her “Hey, have a good time tonight.” Donna smiled at him again before
he closed the door behind him and walked down the stairs and Donna went back to
getting ready for her date with Sam.
***
Sam arrived 20 minutes after Josh left and Donna was ready and waiting. He took
her to a small Italian restaurant near to where he lived where they enjoyed the
food, wine and each others company before Sam gave Donna a lift home and they
sat up talking and drinking coffee on her sofa. They talked about pretty much
everything before the subject turned to Josh.
“He came to visit me earlier and
apologised for the way he’s been acting and I told him I was going out with you
tonight and he said he was okay about it.” Sam smiled and heaved a sigh of
relief he really liked to Donna and would have hated it if his best friend were
against the relationship, thank god he wasn’t.
Sam moved put his coffee cup down and
moved closer to her and asked “So… It would probably be okay for me to kiss
you?” Donna smiled slightly and leaned towards him
“I think so.” The kiss was soft and
over far too soon for Donna so she leaned forward again and engaged him in another kiss, this one much more passionate
than the last. After a few minutes they reluctantly pulled away from each other
and Sam got up to leave.
“It’s pretty late and I haven’t slept
since we were on the plane so I should get home.” Donna nodded slightly and
opened the door for him.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” Sam lightly
brushed his lips against hers and before Donna could respond he was gone.
Closing the door, she sank against it and closed her eyes before running into
Olivia’s room and bouncing on the bed. “Olivia wake up!”
Rubbing her eyes Olivia sat up and
turned on the light, “Donna, what are you doing in here?” Donna stopped
bouncing on the bed and sat down with her feet curled under her.
“I had a great time tonight. We talked
for hours and about 10 minutes ago he gave me the most amazing kiss!”
“Donna sweetie, I’m really happy for
you but would it be possible for me to get exited about this at a time when it
isn’t the middle of the night?”
Laughing Donna stood up before replying
“Sure, I have to be up in three hours so I should get some sleep. I’ll give you
all the details tomorrow.” Nodding Olivia turned the light off and lay back
down again. “Now go away! I want to sleep.”
Closing the door Donna went into her
own room and got ready for bed and set the alarm to go off at 6am that morning
before getting into bed and shutting off the light. Donna went to sleep
thinking that night thinking about Sam and what she hoped would be their future
together.
The end. Continued in I wanna know.
