My Secrets (Jim Halpert love story)

Now everyone knows

Jim's POV

I was sitting at my desk when my Fiancé let out an exasperated sigh.

"What's up?" I questioned her.

"The buyer for my apartment just dropped out" she replied with a sad expression and then rolled her eyes.

"Hey don't worry too much about it, it'll work itself out" I said leaning over and placing my hand on hers.

She just looked at me with that loving smile that I fell in love with. The majority of the office still didn't know about out our engagement and I decided it was finally time.

"Hey everyone I'd just like to say something" I started standing up from my desk chair.

"What's going on" Micheal said walking into the office for the day.

Emily guessed what I was doing. She already knew what people's reactions will be.

"Jim hun maybe let's wait a little longer" Emily tried to plead.

"No Em, I'm sorry and I love you but they need to know" I smiled.

"Well come on then Jim" Dwight was getting frustrated.

"Emily and I are engaged" Jim announced.

Micheal let out a gasp, dropped his bag and tackled Jim to the floor.

"Sorry" Emily spoke up.

Throughout the day people kept congratulating us, however Creed told us that babies were a nightmare so I don't think he heard me correctly.

"Emily I just want to say I look amazing for pink if you haven't picked the bridesmaid dresses yet" Kelly was pestering Emily.

"Oh Kelly I'm sorry, you're not going to be in the wedding" She told Kelly straight.

Kelly just let out a huff and walked back to the annex. Most people had been pestering us about wedding plans and to be frank we hadn't made any other than the fact we decided on the place. Niagara Falls.

"So Mrs soon to be Halpert, I'm assuming I'll be walking you down the aisle?" Micheal looked over at Emily who's eyes went wide at his statement.

"Um no Micheal my grandfather will be walking me down" Emily retorted.

"Well will your grandfather be needed pushing down the aisle? Bit like Phyllis on her wedding day" he said whilst pointing to Phyllis.

"He can walk perfectly fine thank you" She replied turning her face back to her computer screen.

She was getting slightly agitated by Michaels and Kelly's comments. I could tell. So I decided to text her. 

"Want to eat our lunch around the back with no one bothering us? X"

She looked down at her phone screen and she smiled.

"You read my mind x" she replied.

The clock read 12pm, I grabbed both of our lunches from the break room, picked up her coat and we both made our way to the back of the building.

"Thank you for this" Emily thanked me in her thick British accent.

"You looked like you needed a break from most people in the office" I chuckled.

She replied with an 'mmmmhhhmm' and continued to take a bite out of her sandwich. Once we finished we just sat in a comfortable silence, she placed her head on my shoulder and my hand sat on her knee. Before we knew it our lunch break was over so we headed back into the warm building. Before we made it into the office Emily turned to me.

"I love you" she stated and she turned me to face her and placed a kiss on her lips.

"I love you too" I said after her short chase kiss.

The rest of the day dragged on and I gave Em the occasional loving glance and she returned a few of them. The clock struck 4:55 and everyone started prepping to go home. This was the only time of the day when Stanley had a smile plastered on his face. I politely grabbed my fiancé's coat and we made our way out of the building.

"So your place or mine?" Emily said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Hmm despite the fact I'm allergic to your cat, yours?" I responded.

"Oh just take an antihistamine and get on with it" she replied rolling her eyes with a chuckle.

We set off for her apartment that was becoming more and more bare due to us currently being in the moving process. She fumbled with the keys, opened the door and held it open for me. Emily made a b-line for her room to change out of her work clothes into what I can assume is something more comfortable. She emerged from her bedroom in just an oversized top that just covered her behind. To say that I didn't feel heat rush to my cheeks would be a lie.

"So are you going to change or are you just going to gawk at me a little longer Halpert??" She giggled.

I just swallowed a gulp and went to change into clothes that I had left here from past sleepovers. I came out of her room in some joggers and a loose top. Emily was lying on the sofa on her stomach. She knew what she was doing. I sat down on the end of the sofa and she rolled over.

"Ooo now don't get me wrong I love seeing you in a shirt and tie, but you in slacks is so attractive" she said placing a kiss on my cheek.

As she pulled away I pulled her back onto my lap. Safe to say, not much chilling was done that evening.
