Chapter Text
Tony was walking down the road. He had just taken a job with a man who from what he can tell has a reputation of being the biggest bastard in DC. Tony did not care much. He really needed to get out of Baltimore. The vibes he was getting off of Danny. He just could not stay there anymore. The apartment he found was not the best but maybe in a few years he could find something better. He laughs. He has never stayed in a place long enough to get a halfway decent place. He did wonder if becoming a federal agent was a good idea. Not looking where he was going, he bumped into a woman. She is pretty. Tall, blonde, and a sweet hometown face.
“I am sorry miss. I was just in my head.”
“That is ok. I was not looking at where I was going. I would be much happier after the ingurgitation. Sorry, do you live around here?”
“I do. I just moved in not too long ago. Since I am new in town and it sounds like you have been here awhile would you like to get coffee on Saturday?” Tony gave his best smile. If she said yes this would be the first date since Wendy left him at the altar. He had some relations, but this woman has brought out some feelings he had not had since before Wendy.
“Coffee sounds nice. Oh, my name is Donna. Donna Moss.”
“Tony Dinozzo.”
Donna could not believe it. Josh had offered her a job as his assistant, she found an apartment at a decent price without a roommate. She did not think she would need a big place since she will be working in the White House. She was going to work in the White House. She just could not believe it. Then she meets this good-looking man.
Donna walked up to the coffee shop on Saturday. She could not believe that she was here. Tony was sitting at a table by the window. He looked really good. Looking down at her jeans and sweater she did not know if she was good enough for him. It had been over 6 months since she broke up with Mark or as Josh calls him Doctor Freeride. She had dates but this was the first time she did not wish that the man she was meeting was Josh Lyman.
When she enters the coffee shop Tony jumps to his feet and pulls out her chair then going to get coffee. The conversation just flows between them. Tony turns out to be a big movie buff and they talked for hours. Their coffee turned into dinner. The conversation continued to flow. Donna felt her falling for him. It was too soon. Tony was charming and understanding that her schedule was going to become crazy. She could only imagine what his schedule was like.
“Donna I would like to continue getting to know you. I have resigned to having emails and text messages. I want to see where this is going.”
“I do too. Just do not hold my boss’s actions over my head.”
“Which one? President-elect Bartlett or Josh Lyman?”
“Both but mostly Josh. I tried going on a date before and he called me in to find him a file.”
“Well the file must have been important.”
“The file was a list of people for the President-elect to call from New Hampshire. The President-elect knew each one of those people’s names and numbers. These were people he knew for years. Josh just did not want me going on the date.”
“How would you like to become an undercover agent?”
“Undercover agent?”
“Yes. I can be any man you want me to. This way Josh thinks he is running off all those men. This way he can think his big brother act is working. It can help his ego.”
“Josh does not need help with his ego.”
“If we let him think he has control over one portion of his life he can feel better about his defeats.”
“What do you get out of letting Josh think he is controlling my dating life?”
“Well I get to stay in practice of my undercover skills. Now my team has Saturday off. Do you think we could find a nice place for dinner? Or if you feel comfortable, we could go see the sites ending with dinner?”
“I should be free to spend the day with you. If the date goes well it might end with breakfast.” With that Donna put her phone number in Tony’s phone.
