It's you - Jim Halpert (Slow Updates)

Chapter 7 - The Fight

I get to Jim's early and his roommate opens the door for me to enter. I run into Jim's room and jump on top of him waking him up "Hey, get up and let's go to work early I have the best idea!" "God Jess, its too early and I want to sleep. Can't we talk about this at work?" "No we can't talk about it at work because my idea involves going into work early and I get you want to sleep right now but this could be a good idea and if it's not I will cook you dinner for a month now listen. How would you feel if we take Dwight's desk move it into the mens bathroom and place all his belongs with it, I'm talking about computer, phone, everything?" "...Give me five minutes." I riffle his hair, letting out a squeal of happiness and wait for Jim downstairs and we head towards his car and decide who is lifting what, he explains that he will move the desk because he is stronger which I just scoff at him. Dwight comes into the office and immediately notices that his desk is missing "Where is my desk?" He looks straight at me. "That is weird." "This is not funny. This is totally unprofessional." "Okay, well your the one who lost the desk." "I didn't lose my desk." "Calm down, where was the last place you saw it?" "Okay who moved my desk?" "I think you should retrace you steps." "Okay I'm going to tell Michael and the whole office will be punished." Dwight goes to walk away when Jim shouts "Colder." "Warmer, little warmer" I watch as Dwight enters the kitchen and enters the bathroom, when he is out of shot, me and Jim air high five. we can hear his phone ringing and when he picks up Jim looks at me as I say "Hi, Dwight, what sort of discounts are we giving on the 20 pound white?" Jim heads over to me and places his ear to the side of my head wear the phone is, when Dwight gives me the information, I thank him and hang up, we spend a few seconds laughing he places his hands on my shoulder "Incredible, You are a genius Miss Bowman." I send him a kind smile and a proud look as he walks back to his desk.

I'm working on my reports when I hear Dwight say Sensei, this is Sepi. I look over at Jim who is already looking at me and I press my hands towards my chest praying at him mouthing 'Please ask, Please ask, Please. Please. Please. and he sends a smirk in my direction. I learn that Dwight does karate and he is a purple belt and I can't believe that this day can get any better. Ryan comes around getting anyone's contact information, I tell him to talk to either Jim or Phyllis which either one he prefers and he sends an apologetic look as he goes over to Jim. I walk out of the kitchen with Jim and mines hot drink, I see him at Pam desk as I walk over to place it down, I see Pam holding his hand, doing what appears as a palm reading, when he hears the cup hit the desk, he pulls his hand back from Pam and looks in my direction but I have already turn around and heading to my desk. he lets a small sigh but smiles in Pam direction. I head to Pam direction and get her to follow my into the kitchen. "Hi, Um, I just wanted to ask if you have any feelings for Jim." "What! No of course not. Jess, I know that you're in love with him, I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise that. I promise I love Roy and we are going to get to married, You don't have to worry about Jim and me." "Okay... I'm sorry, I want to tell him but I don't know how, It feels like I'm waiting for the perfect moment or something. Can you please not tell anyone though, I probably not the best at keeping my feelings and emotion at bay and the only person who knows besides you is Phyllis and she has keep it a secret for a long time and I hope that you will keep the secret too" "Of course Jess don't apologised, I get it. I've got your back. Can I ask you though how long have you been in love with him?" "Well Um, 715 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes, But who's counting right?" I shift my head towards the camera and look down a little embarrassed with myself and head into the girl's bathroom

I'm sitting with Pam helping her fill out some paper work, when I see Michael bring Dwight into a head lock while Dwight is struggling to get out of it, me and Pam look at each other with confused looks and slightly laugh to ourself. Michael wants Jim to hit him but he tells him no and to get Dwight to hit him. I stand up saying I'll do it, Jim sends me a big smile but Michael just ignores me and carries on telling Jim a story of Dwight when he punches him in the stomach and Jim lets Michael back into his office, who is clearly in pain. Jim comes over to me at Pam desk, asking me to stop Dwight, I look over to see that Dwight is now showing Kevin how to defend himself. I have no idea what Jim wants me to do but he says he will buy me a bag of chips. I turn to Pam and tell her to go into Michael office and convince him that he needs to let Dwight stay late with you so he can walk you to his car. She ends up agree to do my plan and gets up from her seat to head to Michael office, me and Jim walk to his desk and listen to what Pam is saying until she opens the door and heads on in. Jim and I look at other and high-five.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I know it's a bad idea but Jim is right. Dwight has to be stopped. And if Jim is offering to buy me a bag of chips for his plan to work then I'm going to do it. I'm going to get that bag, just you watch." I point forward while smiling sweetly at the camera.

"She only agreed because there was a bag of chips involved in it, such a little sneaking person she is. If this does go to plan, I will defiantly be giving her that bag of chips, not just any chips thou, I will give her French onions, because their her favourite." He's laughing while holding onto his stomach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michael comes out of his office with pam following him. me and Jim rush over to follow them to the kitchen, where Dwight is currently teaching Kelly how to defend herself. Michael is talking to Dwight about how he snuck in a punch, when he wasn't ready for it, which I don't really care about, it was when Dwight offers Michael to punch him back but Michael says we're at work that gets my attention. Jim offers up Dwight's dojo, I turn my head into Jim's arm to hide my laughter from the grown men in front of me, There is now so much talk of the fight that will happen between Dwight and Michael and I guess that this day can get better after all.

I speak to Jim about us going together but he is already taking Pam, he ask if we want to join but I tell him not to worry and I'm going to go with Phyllis to talk to her about some things. Phyllis and I play the radio and just sing the loudest we can while laughing at each other. Half way to Dwight's Dojo she even offers to set me up with someone but I politely decline her and if I want to accepted a date then she will be the first person I will come too. I'm standing with Creed when I hear Pam laughing, I turn my head to see Pam in the air with Jim's arms around her waist. She looks straight at me and I gave her a 'what the fuck look' He eventually puts her down and looks over to me. He see an upset and disappointed Jess looking at the both of them and offers her a small smile but she doesn't respond, just turns her head around. He goes to stand next to her to watch the fight but she moves away and stands in between Phyllis and Kevin where she lays her hand on her shoulder putting her hand on the elbow of Phyllis's arm. Phyllis ends up taking pictures of the fight and I playfully nudge her. Michael ends up winning which was surprising to me.

Jim starts to send Pam a message about weirdness but see the camera pointed at him and deletes it, He stands up to walk to her desk but she gets up and walks into the annex to talk with Toby, with out a word towards him. He doesn't know what he could of done wrong and goes to the kitchen to make himself a coffee. I have to stay behind and finish up some reports, when I feel a presents beside me, I already know who it is but I just really don't want to talk to him at the moment. He leans down kissing the back of my head, "Have a good weekend." and he walks away, when I know he is not there anymore, I turn my head to the left and see a bag of French onion chips, I grab it and open them to eat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes, I got her the bag of chips, the plan worked and it went perfectly might I add, we didn't have to do any work, instead we got to watch a fight, well not really a fight but anyway. I could see she was upset during the fight so she deserved something that can make her smile again. Do you guys know why she would be upset?" The film crew all just shrug their shoulders and he smiles at the camera, with a lost look in his eyes.

I hold up a bag of chips to show the camera. "Look what I got, I told you I was going to get them, I told you." I put my hand inside the bag pulling and a chip with a smile on my face that shows my teeth and bite into it as I do a little happy food dance.
