Hey everyone, I know I have plenty of stories that I am working on, and probably a lot more to come, but I couldn't resist publishing this once I finished it, which was my intention all along with most of my stories. This is set during season three, Jim's still with Karen and heartbreak is in the air.

Emotional Leads:

The day couldn't possibly go by any slower as I sit in Michael's office listening to another one of his "Jan wants to get back together with me and I'm commitment phobia" catastrophes. Another yawn takes over my lips. I didn't get much sleep last night, after the whole Jim, Karen fight about their living situation; I just couldn't go to sleep. It's like the pain made me numb and unable to move, almost as if it paralyzed me. I play with the pen that corrupts my fingers as I listen, doodling in the corner of my notepad.

My whole mind set is off. I have just been a little bit of everywhere. Every time I get to work now it's just a mind numbing waste of time it seems. I try to concentrate on my work, but it gets harder and harder every day I have to walk into the office and pretend that when I see Karen and Jim laughing together that it doesn't crush my heart into pieces. That it doesn't make my soul scrape the ground.

Finally almost near 5:30 I make it out of the office surprisingly alive but yet even more tired than I was minutes ago. Michael somehow beats me out of the building and I am left alone walking down the stairs, just the need of wanting to go home and lay down.

The air takes over my lungs as I reach the parking lot the shadow of the sun hiding behind the clouds drifting upon me. The parking lot is empty, until I look over next and see Jim's car. I shake my head, not remembering seeing him in the office. It wasn't until I walk more to my car only two spaces down that I see Jim leaning against it. My heart starts pounding a mile a minute making my eyes feel like they couldn't shut if they wanted too, which is ironic considering I've been wanting to shut my eyes since I got to work.

His dark blue tie blows gently in the wind as he stares out his face stern, almost angry. My pace slows as I near my car, near to his presence.

His eyes catch mine as I stand now only inches away from my car. "Hey" his weary yet angry voice aches in my direction.

"Hey" My voice confused and curious at the same time. My feet land only a few inches from him. He looks away his jaw clenched, his feet start to pace.

I watch him wearily pace his facial expression changing every other time. He suddenly stops and looks at me.

"Why are you doing this?" His voice comes out rough, taking in deep breaths. Jim is definitely not known for being rough in any sorts.

I feel confusion and anxiety enter my veins. My voice seems to be cut off by the electric shock that runs through me. "What?" my voice suddenly reappearing.

"Why are you always in my head? Why do you always pop in just when I am starting to have fun? Why can't you just get out of my head and leave me alone?" A short pause causes silence as I stare at him, feeling as if my lips were stapled together.

His eyes flicker to my eyes to my lips as he looks around in disbelief. " You're not letting me move on and it's not fair!"

I stare at him in disbelief as I straighten up and throw my purse on the top of my trunk. He watches as my purse lands perfectly. Anger slightly runs through me. He is not the only one in pain here and he needs to know.

"You think it's easy for me?" I yell slightly, as I stare dead on in his eyes. "You think that coming to work every single day and not talking to you is freaking easy? Not having you come up to my desk or play pranks on Dwight anymore? That's easy?" I stop taking a breather. His silence says all. "And you know what else? PDA isn't allowed okay? Go ask Dwight." I feel some dreading tears leaving pressure behind my eye lids. "So I guess you and Karen will have to find other places to go to have your fun" I keep running off at the mouth feeling as the poison was leaks from my lips. I look at his face now as it softens into the Jim I always knew. For a moment I thought I heard a chuckle.

"Because it's not fair to Kevin! Hurting him like this" I mutter the last part with uncertainty. . My eyes tone down to his softness, as he comes closer to me. I see a small smirk appear on his face.

I almost let one show up on mine. He looks so softly and lovingly into my eyes that immediately reminded me of casino night.

His eyes gaze at my lips for just a moment and then he softly whispers, "Why am I still so madly in love with you when it's clear that I should be moving on?" his voice breaking slightly. My heart stops for a moment letting the cold air develop in my lungs. He loves me. He still loves me. I almost smile, but I don't break the moment. I've waited endless nights for this moment, to have this second chance, to let him in.

He stares at me with the most intense look that it almost makes me feel nervous. I feel him urge closer and I feel like time is slowly coming to a halt. I almost feel like it's my turn in the run of questioning, but I just can't seem to form words. His warm breath soothes my soul.

I never look away from his gaze knowing that if I do, we could never have this moment again. We are close, we are so close and I just don't want to lose it. Not again. I'm not going to be responsible for any more heartbreak, or sad tears. It's time we put this behind us and take on anything that comes our way. It's finally here.

I feel his lips finally spread softly across mine, as he envelops me in the warmest hug I have ever felt. Our bodies forced together as one. I can't even feel the cold air since his body and his lips keeping me warm. My senses have never been so overloaded. I feel like every part of his body is clenching to mine, as his tongue hugs my lips. I suddenly feel the car being pressed into my lower back. The coldness bleeds through my shirt, but his hands are quickly to attend to the wounds. My mouth has never been filled with such love or affection. The sun seems to burn brighter than it ever has, when his lips leave mine.

Hope you guys enjoyed, I have an idea for this story to keep going, but it's all on you guys, should I leave it like it is? Or continue?

Thanks for reading!
