This Woman Needs 

By Kandra Carter Grayson

Summary: Josh overhears Donna singing along to her Discman during a late night at work, and begins to realize that she might be trying to tell him something…

 

Josh stuck the key into the lock, and opened the door to his apartment.

"This is it. It's not that clean, so just kind of ignore it."

The first words spoken since they left the White House, Josh held the door open while Donna walked in. He stood there for a moment, watching her walk into the living room.

'Please God, let me be lucky enough to have her.'

"Josh, are you coming in, or do you want me to go back outside?"

"I'm coming. I was just watching you, that's all."

Josh walked into the apartment and headed towards Donna. They slowly backed themselves up against a wall and Josh leaned in to kiss her. Just as their lips were about to meet, Josh's phone rang. Pulling away from her, Josh went and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Do you want to explain to me why the back of page 3 says 'Josh and Donna Forever' all over it?"

"Leo! I didn't realize that was on there. I apologize and I'll rewrite that page on a different piece of paper if you'd like."

"Josh, I want you and Donna in my office in an hour to explain this to me."

"Leo, I don't think that's a very go-"

Josh stood there for a second, realizing that Leo had hung up on him. Looking up at Donna, Josh knew he had to tell her and they had to discuss this thing now.

"Josh, what did Leo want? Is something wrong?"

"We need to go back to the White House and explain to Leo why I wrote 'Josh and Donna Forever' on the back of page 3 of the report."

"You wrote what?"

"I couldn't stop thinking about you during my meeting with Senator Adams, so I started writing that on the back of a piece of paper. And, I apparently wrote on the back of it as part of the report. Now, Leo wants to see us in his office in an hour."

"So, what do we do?"

"Well, I'm going to tell Leo that I love you. I don't care if it gets me fired or not. I need to stop lying about it. Come on, we can talk in the car about what we're gonna tell Leo."

Josh headed towards the door, stopping when he realized that Donna wasn't there with him.

"Donna, you coming?"

"You love me?"

Donna had just realized what Josh had said.

Josh turned around and walked back towards her.

"Yes. I love you Donnatella Moss, and I've been hiding that since Charleston. I'm not afraid to tell anyone that I love you, and that's exactly what I'm going to tell Leo."

"I love you too Josh. I've been afraid to tell you that too."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. I love you."

"God, I love you too."

Josh pulled Donna to him and kissed her, the two of them getting lost in each other.
