AN: Ok here goes chapter 2. Once again I don't own The Office.
"Ok I know what we can watch next, I just bought it." Jim holds up a DVD that was still shrink-wrapped.
Pam smirks as she reads the title.
"You've only been talking about it for two years, I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about," Jim said blushing slightly. Atonement was not a manly movie.
"The books better," Pam chides.
"Yea I know…hey do you want any pizza?" Jim asks indicating the untouched order.
"Yea…if you don't mind sharing"
"Of course not," Jim said heading to the kitchen to warm up the pizza. Pam padded quietly behind him. "Do you want a beer?" Jim asked grabbing a cold bottle for himself from the fridge. He knew alcohol wasn't the answer, but he hoped it might calm Pam down.
"Sure," Pam said. Jim was pretty sure she was just trying to be polite.
The pair settled back onto the couch and Jim started the movie, Pam smiled, really smiled for the first time all night as one of her favorite movies started.
Jim couldn't watch the movie he was too occupied with Pam's gentle smile, her head on his shoulder, and the sweet smell of her strawberry shampoo. Strawberry shampoo on a strawberry blonde, how appropriate, Jim thought.
"I've always loved the name Cecilia" Pam says referring to Kiera Knightly's character. Pam smiles up at Jim and his heart melts.
Cecilia. Jim smiles, that was a pretty name. Cecilia. Jim closes his eyes and pictures a little girl in a pastel dress, she has a pretty round face, unruly strawberry blonde hair, and gorgeous blue-green eyes. Not Roy's eyes.
Jim's eyes snapped open.
This was entirely different than thinking about sex with Pam, this was thinking about a family and a life with Pam. This was dangerous ground considering it would never happen.
Jim genuinely enjoyed the movie, well the part of it he saw.
Pam was beginning to doze against his arm by the time the movie was over. "Hey Beasly, time for bed," Jim says gently rousing her. Pam looked a little nervous.
"I need something to wear."
"I can give you something to borrow, its no problem," Jim said heading for his bedroom.
Jim handed Pam a t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts. "You can stay in our guest room," Jim said showing her the way. Then Jim left her in peace.
Pam pulled on the clothes Jim lent her, she breathed in. It smelled like Jim, secretly one of her favorite smells. It was totally different than Roy, he always smelled faintly of sweat and motor oil. She didn't want to think of Roy right now, she felt abandoned. He'd left her alone and she could have been seriously hurt.
Deep down Pam knew this was irrational, but she was too angry at him now. Pam slipped into Jim's guest bed, it was plain and clean, and looked like it had never been used. Pam smiled as she fell asleep to the smell of Jim's t-shirt.
Jim was having trouble falling asleep; he tossed and turned knowing that the girl he loved was asleep just down the hall. Finally he fell into a sleep full of Pam.
"Jim?" Jim was sure he was dreaming, why else would she be calling to him?
"Jim?" Jim opened his eyes and saw Pam standing before him in his shirt, holding up his shorts to stop them from falling down.
"What is it?" Jim said in a bleary just woken up kind of way.
Pam looked scared and shaken "I had a bad dream, I can't fall back to sleep." She said sounding like a little kid, "Can I sleep with you?"
Jim folded back his covers and wrapped them around her after she crawled in next to him.
Pam rolled around for a while until she finally drifted of to sleep. Jim lay as still as possible, unable to sleep because of the excitement. Pam rolled over and curled up into Jim's arms. Jim smiled as he wrapped his arms around her; she fit perfectly there. Jim smelled her hair, and felt her soft skin. He never wanted her to leave.
AN: I really hope you enjoyed this chapter! I think I only have one chapter left of the original story. So I need your feedback more than ever. If you want me to go beyond my original story I need ideas, also a comment just to say what you thought is always nice. Thanks!
