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…
Leo looked up from his desk to see Josh and Donna walk into his office holding hands. "You were supposed to be here an hour ago." "There was a traffic jam." "At 10 o'clock at night?!" "Leo, please don't yell at Josh. It's not his fault we're late. He had to come pick me up and that's way out of his way, and then it's about a half an hour to get to here from my apartment." Josh looked over at Donna while they sat down in front of Leo's desk, glad she could think of something to say. "Fine. When did this happen?" "When did what happen Leo?" "I do not have time for your sarcasm Josh. You and Donna. When did this happen?" "Well, we met back when we were in Manchester and then she-." "I know when the two of you met Josh! I meant when did you start spending your time writing 'Josh and Donna Forever' on the backs of important documents?!" "It happened tonight Leo. Josh and I have been avoiding telling each other how we really feel for years now." "Donna, are you trying to tell me that you were telling each other how you felt in his office earlier today?" "No. Donna thought that it was inappropriate to discuss this in my office, so we were going to have dinner tonight and discuss it then." "So, instead of having dinner, Josh was writing the report, and he was a little distracted by the fact that we would have to postpone the dinner, so he wrote on the back of something that he meant to throw away. It's a mistake Leo." Leo leaned back in his chair and looked at the two of them. He knew that everyone in the office had bets on when Josh and Donna were finally gonna get together. He just didn't want it to interfere in their business relationship. "Okay, here's my main concern. I don't want this to end in some messy breakup that's gonna result in transferring to another department, quitting, or a sexual harassment lawsuit. If the two of you can assure me that none of that is going to happen, then I won't do anything about this. If you can't, then I'll have to transfer Donna to another department or fire her, which I really don't want to do." Josh and Donna looked at each other and then looked at Leo. "I can't speak for Donna, Leo, but I know that I would kill myself before I ever hurt her. I love her Leo. And I want to spend everyday for the rest of my life telling her that. The thought of hurting her hurts me. So, I will do everything I can to make sure that our relationship will never end in a breakup." Donna looked at Josh and smiled. Turning to Leo, Donna gave her opinion. "I cannot hurt him. And I will not let him hurt me. And I would quit before I ever let our relationship affect our business relationship in a negative manner. If anything, I think that it would affect our business relationship in a positive manner. I mean, nothing's gonna be that different from the way it has been these past few years." "Alright, go on and get out of here. I don't want to see either of you until Monday morning. And on Monday, you can explain to the President and the rest of the senior staff how your relationship has changed during the staff meeting. Now get out of here." Josh and Donna smiled at Leo before getting up and making their way towards the parking lot. When they reached Josh's car, Josh leaned Donna up against it and kissed her softly. "So, do you want me to take you home or do you want to come back to my place?" "I don't want to go home. I'm not leaving your side until Monday morning." "Oh really?" Josh has a huge grin on his face. "Yes, really." Donna had a huge grin on her face. "Well, let's head back to my place then." Josh opened Donna's door and helped her into the car. Walking around the other side and getting in, Josh started the car and headed towards his apartment. "Besides Josh, we have to work on what we're saying on Monday during the staff meeting." "I think that can wait until Sunday. I have something else in mind until then." Josh smiled, looking over at her. "And what would that be?" Donna smiled back at him. "Well, I need to take care of your needs. That was what started this whole thing to begin with." "Yeah, I think that will last until Sunday, at least. Are you sure you're up for it?" "Oh yeah, I'm up for it. I've only wanted it for so long. But don't worry. We'll be perfectly professional and have a nice little speech prepared for Monday." Josh looked out his window, wondering what it was going to be like on Monday. The End -I'll write a sequel if someone wants me too. But, you've gotta let me know.
