Jim's POV

Michael didn't know what to see he was too shocked and I kinda felt dumb for telling Michael because I didn't know what he was going to do now that he knew this information. There may have only been a few hours left of the work day but he might blurt out something and ruin the whole surprise for Emily. I booked us a little romantic get away down in New Haven just to get away for the weekend.

"I don't know if I can keep this information in Jim" Michael blurted out and also letting out a squeal.

"You have too Michael, at least for the next couple of hours. Please" I pleaded.

"Okay okay I will try" he huffed.

I looked at the clock and it read 2pm, 3 hours left, surely Michael can survive until then I thought. But I knew these next three hours will be absolute torture.

Emily's POV

Jim has been talking to Michael for a while now and I'm starting to wonder if Jim killed Michael. Or the other way around. I don't think I could deal with the thought of Jim going to jail anytime soon. I shunned my thoughts away and carried on selling some paper.
Jim finally emerged from Michaels office and strutted back to his desk, he shot me a warm smile and turned his head back to his computer.
It reached 3:30, hour and a half left then I can leave back to my warm bed.

"Hey Em" Jim whispered over at me

"Yeah?" I politely questioned

"When you get home pack your bags and be ready for 6:30 our plane leaves at 9pm" he said with a gleeful tone.

"Why?" I replied sounding concerned but excited to where he was taking me.

"It's a surprise baby, but we won't get there till late so wear some comfortable clothes" he said reassuringly.

"God I adore you" I replied with a smile growing and I turned my head back to my computer. I suddenly didn't care about going back to my bed.

Next think you know, the worlds most annoying boss came up to me and said

"Has Jim told you about this weekend?" Michael questioned me and winked towards Jim.

"Yeah, he just has?" I replied confusingly.

Michael just kept winking at Jim for some odd reason.

"Right Michael lets get you back in the office" Jim ordered Michael as he held him by his shoulders dragging him to his office.

Jim's POV

"What the hell Michael!" I quietly shouted at him.

"I couldn't keep it in! I'm just too exited for you! I didn't say anything bad!"

"I want to lock you in this office" I announced as I eye rolled and exited the office and back to my small desk.

Emily's POV

I'll be honest I'm so confused as to what Michael was hinting at. Maybe Jim would finally say those three words. I don't know. Oh my god I'm totally over thinking. Jim walks out of Michaels office and sits at his desk shooting me a soft comfortable smile. He's so gorgeous.

"CONFERENCE ROOM NOW EVERYBODY" Michael ordered the office.

We all groaned again as it was 4:30, nearly home time.

"Michael this better be quick" Jim said as he looked at his watch.

"I'm not in the mood for this right now" Stanley chirped.

"Okay everyone, let's talk about marriage" Michael said as he clasped his hands.

Jim almost chocked about what Michael said and I shot him a confused look and he just rolled his eyes and smiled at me. Everyone looked extremely confused as to why he called a meeting about this so close to the end of the day. 

"Why Michael, why?! It's nearly 5pm and I've got plan after work" Oscar was so annoyed.

"So have me and Jim, Michael, we really don't have the time." I announced rising from the chair grabbing Jim's hand.

"No Miss Emily you'll stay right here, this won't take too long." He said as he ushered me back to my previous seat. "Marriage is a great thing" he announced. "It bonds two people together who really love each other, and I just want to say, whenever any of you guys get married. I hope you're happy for eternity. Because all of you guys deserve it, even Dwight." Michael said sounding so sincere. "Right so that's the end of the day, you're all free to go home early " He smiled.
We all left the conference room, grab all of our coats and left the office in a hurry because the majority of us had plans, especially me and Jim. Jim opened the door out to the parking lot and I shot him a 'thank you' smile. I hopped into Jim's car as he dropped me home as per usual.

"Well Michael was extremely sincere in that conference room meeting" I announced.

"I know it was totally weird right?" Jim said with a chuckle.

I smiled at him and placed my hand on his thigh. We reached my apartment and I got out of the car.

"Remember be ready by 6:30!" He announced as he drove off into the distance. I smiled, ran inside, up the stairs and into my flat. I turned on some music, grabbed a suitcase and packed what I could. It was spring and we couldn't be going far so I packed some decent clothes along with a couple of swimsuits just in case and also some fancy clothes because Jim may have planned a nice evening or something like that. I changed into some leggings and one of Jim's hoodies and placed my glasses on my face so I was comfy travelling. I looked to the clock on the wall in my kitchen and it read '6:20 pm'. I heard a knock on my door. It was Jim.

"Hey gorgeous" I said as I invited him in and placed a quick kiss on his cheek.

"Hey, you ready?" He questioned me walking in to my apartment.

"Yep I'm all packed darling" I said going into my room and grabbing my packed suit case and little back pack full of plane essentials.

"Great" Jim said with a booming smile on his face, "let's get going then!".

We left my apartment and I set extra food down for my cat who would be fine on her own. Jim carries my case down to his car and he popped it into the trunk along with his. The ride to the airport was short...
