AN: Thank you Idnaoj80 and mep1135 for your reviews :) They mean a lot :) I'm sorry I didn't post I chapter yesterday but I've been really sick. I'm feeling better today so here's another chapter :) I hope everyone enjoys it :)
Pam woke up at 8:30 she didn't have to go to work today as she and Jim had taken the week off to move in and get settled in their new place. Michael tried to persuade them that they need his help but they quickly refused before he got too carried away. Within 10 seconds of consciousness she sat bolt upright as she remembered everything that happened the previous night. She immediately reached over for her cell phone and was just about to dial her mom's number when she thought "Jim".
She quickly threw on her sweats and skipped down stairs to find him. She saw it as soon as she walked into the kitchen. A big bouquet of flowers was in the middle of the counter and an envelope addressed to her lay next to them. Without hesitation she walked over and opened the envelope;
Good morning,
If you're wondering where I am I have gone to sort some things (which may or may not be awesome surprises) for the house and for our date later. I hope you're not too disappointed that you can't see my beautiful face until later today so I thought I would leave you this note and the flowers as compensation so I hope they help to ease your pain. I will see you soon. (I hope to be back around lunch but if you get hungry don't feel like you have to wait for me or anything)
I love you.
Jim x
P.S. I would have put the flowers in a vase but then I remembered you have more artistic skills in your little finger than I have ever have done or I ever will do, so have fun.
The smile on her face grew into a grin that spread ear to ear. She stepped back to look at the flowers before placing the letter back on the counter and picking up the flowers.
She must have spent about 20 minutes arranging the flowers and deciding on where to put them. It was then that she glanced at the clock and remembered she still hadn't called her mom. She ran up the stairs, two at a time and grabbed her cell phone off the bed and punched the numbers excitedly into it. It rang only twice before her mom's cheery voice could be heard.
"Pam! Hello, how are you? You haven't phoned me in a week!"
"Yeah sorry about that but we've been rather busy with the move and everything," her mom cut her off.
"Oh yes, how is that going? I can't wait to see the new place! When will it be ok for me come over?"
"I don't know, maybe in a week or so but mom I have something amazing to tell you!"
"What is it darling?"
"Well last night Jim and I went out to dinner, not in a romantic way or anything but then we decided to take a walk in a park near the restaurant. Anyway so one thing led to another and he told me he's in love with me!"
"What?! What did you say to that?!"
"I told him I love him too. Then we kissed."
"Pam, honey, I don't what to say. I mean you haven't even been on a date with him…"
"I know that mom but I've known him now for 5 years and I know it seems crazy in a way but I do really love him and he loves me… Besides we're going on our first date tonight."
"I'm so excited for you sweetie!"
"Really? You seemed a bit, I don't know, pessimistic?"
"Look I can't say any of this really surprises me. As you said you and Jim have been friends for 5 years now and during that time you talked about him more than anyone else. I mean especially the past, well almost 2 months, he has supported you and been there for you when you wouldn't let anyone else close enough to even know about what was going on. Not many people would do that for someone else. Not even friends, best friends' maybe but still the only reason he has stuck around for so long, through everything in your lives that you've been through throughout the last 5 years you've been friends is that you were always more than friends. Deep down I think he's known this since, well not long after you met but you've only realised this on some level for the last year or 2. I'm just so happy you've finally realised and talked it out you two. I have feeling he is it for you Pam,, he's your soul mate. Roy would have never done as much as Jim has done and Roy was your fiancé so…"
Pam was silent for a moment. Everything in her mom's speech rang true. She finally said something.
"Thank you mom."
"You're welcome honey. Just promise me I can meet Jim soon! I didn't get too when I visited your office last time and now I want to meet him more than ever."
"Yeah, I want him to meet you but I think we should give it a week or so. We've barely even started this relationship and we still need to get things straightened up here, at the house but I promise really soon mom."
"Good! Well I think I better let you get on. You have unpacking to do and a date to get ready for. Ring me tomorrow and tell me everything."
"Ok, I will, bye mom. Love you."
"Love you too honey, I'll ring you if you don't ring me."
"Ok mom talk to you tomorrow, bye."
"Bye."
Pam lay on her bed for a while, contemplating everything her mom had just said. She sat up when she heard the front door open.
