Chapter 9

Donna, Rachel and Mike were having dinner together, discussing the finer details of the drama taking place in their very own PSL. Neither Mike nor Rachel were surprised to know that Donna already knew everything. She is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. Everyone knew that.

Mike slowly backed away, letting the ladies talk. He showered and brushed his teeth (at the same time, yes, honestly, it's just easier that way) as he thought about how much he enjoyed working with Jessica. She treated him like an equal and didn't leave all the leg-work up to him. She was brilliant in everything she did, but she was also gentle.

He missed Harvey. He missed the constant bragging and righteous arrogance. He missed the stupid smirk and he really missed the fist-bumps.

His first two months with Jessica were almost up, they were winning the case and it would all be over in another week or two. Jessica had offered him a permanent position as her associate. He had considered taking her up on it, but he knew that in the end he couldn't do that to Harvey. They had a chemistry and a bond that really was unbreakable. They were brothers. He also had a feeling that Harvey missed him.

On the other side of town, Jessica and Harvey had just wrapped up a party with one of their oldest clients. Since they had arrived together in Harvey's Porsche Spyder, Harvey was dropping Jessica back home.

"I offered Mike a permanent position as my associate." Jessica spoke, Harvey was so surprised that he almost turned into the oncoming traffic.

"Wha- Why? Why would you do that? I knew you were trying to steal him from me!" Harvey was furious. He was the one who had found Mike, he had gone through hell and high water to protect him and to make him into what he was. Mike was his associate goddamit!

"Relax Harvey, he hasn't answered yet." Jessica laughed. Sometimes she didn't understand how the man sitting next to her can be the best damn closer in the city, and still have such intense emotional responses. Then again, lawyers do tend to hold grudges and have long memories. This isn't a profession to get into if you want to be loved all around.

"Why are you doing this?" Harvey asked, his voice deceivingly even. Inside he was boiling with rage. Two months without his buddy were difficult enough, but permanently losing him? He remembered what it was like when Mike was working for that damn investment banker, he felt his panic attacks coming back just at the thought.

"At first, because I wanted to know if he was worth risking my life's work for… Now, because I know he is."

They were silent for the rest of the ride, both lost in thought.

Donna was worried that Mike had drowned in the shower, when he stepped out. He had decided to wear a pair of Batman pyjamas and on his feet were a pair of fuzzy black Batman slippers. He looked so damn adorable that she could swear that she felt her biological clock tick. His hair was wet and all over his face. She indicated that he sit in front of her so that she could dry it for him. Rachel walked out of the kitchen just as Donna took the towel.

"Hey! Hands off the merchandise, he looks too damn cute for his own good after he takes a shower." Rachel giggled.

Donna could feel the amusement light her face as her friend took the towel from her and did the job herself. Mike grinned up at them from the floor before shaking his head and spraying both the women with his dripping wet hair.

Both women squealed, and Rachel covered his head with the towel after lightly smacking him.

"So Donna, enough about me and Harvey, what's going on with the two of you? Do you want me to go beat him up? Show him how to treat a lady?" Mike asked as Rachel dried his hair.

"Honey, the only way you could win a physical fight with Harvey is if I tie him up for you first, even then I think Harvey would win." Donna laughed.

"I think I know how to get him to take his head out of his ass"

A/N: Sorry I took so long to update. Honestly, I just lost interest in the show after Mike and Rachel left. Hope this chapter was worth the wait… I'll try to finish off this story for you guys :)
