the office oneshot🧚‍♀️ (jim halpert mostly)

back to scranton (jim and pam)

pam's pov

today's the day. the day that jim, my best friend, the love of my life, comes back to scranton.i wore some cute clothes and i got my hair done yesterday night. i'm also wearing a bit of makeup. last time i saw him, it was on casino night. i immensely regret what i did that night. i regret not telling him how i truly felt. i loved him, and i still do, but i shot him down. twice actually. but now that i broke up with roy, i hope that jim still have feelings for me. i honestly hope he wants to even be my friend. i truly treated him poorly. god i hope he forgives me.

a couple of people arrive, michael tries to make them laugh but miserably fail. there's this girl, karen, she's really nice and we really bonded until michael came to talk to her and ruined everything again. i will never understand that man. there's another man that comes in except he's followed by jim. jim didn't see me yet so he's just talking to the other man until michael start shouting things at them. i can't listen to what he's saying. i'm too distracted by jim.

last time i saw him, we were kissing. and since then, it's always been awkward when we called or texted. we never talked about our feelings even though i wanted to.

he looks over at me and start saying something. i don't even listen and run towards him to hug him. he hold me closely until i pull away. i'm so excited i don't even know what i'm saying!
he goes to sit at his chair but ryan is sitting there now, so he takes another seat, facing towards dwight. meaning i can't see his face anymore. well that sucks.

during the day, i've noticed him and karen talking a lot. i hope they're not dating or something. i couldn't live seeing them dating.
we eat lunch together, but it's still kinda awkward.

i wonder if we should talk about it...
i can't be like: hey elephant in the room! i'm in love with you and maybe you still are!

that's not a good idea

but i can't let him date someone else. i couldn't take it. i'll talk to him later if i find the courage to.

he left the office before me. maybe i'll talk to him tomorrow? i finish my work and leave. i feel weird. i feel empty. i imagined this day since i learned that the branches would merge. this isn't at all what i wanted.

as i'm walking to my car, i hear someone shouting my name. i turn around and see jim, walking towards me.

"i thought you had already left" he says to me.
"uh no... i just had some other stuff i had to do"
"oh good"
"what's up?"
"oh nothing! i just feel bad, i feel like things were a little weird today or something "
"what do you mean?" i ask even though i know exactly what he means.
"i just think i should tell you that i've sort of started seeing someone..."
"oh..."

he says the words that kills me. tears start to fill my eyes. i look down so he doesn't see them.

"i just... i thought since, casino night... you know?" i say. maybe he doesn't like me anymore but i at least have to try.
"yeah..."
"i wish you didn't left after that night"
"well i wasn't really in the mood to stay here after what happened"
"i left roy you know"
"really?"
"yeah... i left him after that night. but then you left"
"i thought... i thought you would marry him"
"i changed my mind... you changed my mind"
"what do you mean?"
"do you still feel what you felt that night?"
"you mean if i still love you? that's a tough question"
"yes or no jim"
"uh... yes" he says looking down.

i walk towards him and pull him into a hug. he wraps his arms around me.

"i love you too jim... i wish i told you that night. and i understand if it's too late or if you want to date that girl..."
"are you serious?"
"yeah..."

i pull away. he's smiling.

"i won't date that girl..."
"good..."
"pam can i- can i kiss you?"
"please do"

he leans in and kiss me. for the first time since he left, i don't feel empty. i just found again the warmth that was missing in my life. he just fulfilled the hole in my heart.

i pull away and he grabs my hands.

"i missed you" he says.
"i missed you too"
"is it okay if i go make one phone call?" he asks.
"oh... yeah sure"

he walks away and call someone. i can't really hear what he's saying but i guess it's karen since he said he started seeing someone.

he comes back to where i am.
"what are we?" i ask him.
"i don't know"
"i don't know either"
"do you want to go on a date with me?"
"yeah of course!"
"okay then we're going on a date right now"
"god i missed you"
"i would've missed myself too"

i playfully hit his arm before saying:
"don't get too cocky"

jim's pov

she hits my arm and tell me: "don't get too cocky"
her smile is so beautiful and her laugh is adorable... any chance of a relationship with karen is now gone.

i'm so incredibly happy of how today turned out. it pained me so badly when i saw the tears in her eyes when i told her i was seeing someone else. i never realized she liked me as much as i did.

i put a CD in the cd player of my car. it's mine and pam's favourites songs. i made that mix at her birthday, a couple years ago. i know she recognizes it because she immediately start singing while looking at me with a big smile. i love her voice and how happy she looks. i start singing along with her.

i missed all these little moment i used to have with her before i went to stamford.

when we would go eat dinner and talk about everything and nothing.

when we would sing our favourites song

when we watched movies to distract her from her fights with roy.

when i let her paint my nail, only for michael to bully me about it the next day. but i didn't care because she liked it.

when we would prank dwight

when i would gaze deeply into her eyes, only wanting to tell her how i felt

when i would flirt with her and she would flirt back until someone saw us or roy would catch us and yell at me.

when she kissed me at the chili's
that was the best dundies ever

when we would simply listen to music together while dancing like two dorks

when she showed me how to braid her hair, letting me play with her hair all night. i truly love her hair

when she would smile at me from her desk or give me an air-high-five

everything we did together was great and it made me love her even more everyday, except now i could tell her and show her how much i love her.

i'm glad i'm finally back
