Chapter Four
All night Grayson kept thinking about Jane, the things she had said to him and the look on her face as the elevator doors closed. He could hardly wait till it was time to go to work and she would be there. But when he barged into her office to talk the next morning what he saw made him stop, Jane was talking to herself in the mirror.
"Look at me," she looked herslef up and down, critiqueng, "I'm Ugly, no wonder, Grayson likes Kim over me."
"Jane, that's not true, you're beautiful just as you are." Grayson said stepping a little farther into her office. Jane gasped and turned quickly.
"Grayson, what are you doing here?"
Grayson took one step toward Jane as she took one step away, Grayson stayed where he was. Thoughts were running rampant through Jane's head, she didn't want to here what he had to say, but some part of her wanted to.
"I am here to say that I'm sorry for what happened between me and Kim, it was mistake. It will never happen again, I don t love her." As he said the last part Jane's head popped up to look at him, shock on her face.
"You don't?" Jane asked taking a step toward Grayson,
Grayson took another step toward Jane, keeping his eyes focused on hers as he said, "No, I love you, Jane." With a watery smile, she answered.
"I love you too." Grayson crossed the room quickly and took her into his arms. He began to caress her arms all the way up to her hair and cheeks, as his face started to lean toward hers, Jane whispered silently.
"I'm Deb." He just kept going and began kissing her passionately.
Then the dream ended suddenly as both Grayson's and Jane's alarm clocks rang signaling a new day, both woke up from a restless sleep, and sighing they both thought of how terribly long this day was going to be for them.
After a hard night sleeping and crazy dreaming, Grayson still went to work the following morning hoping to walk into the firm to talk to Jane, entering into the office hoping for the best, to avoid Kim as well, he kept constantly looking from side to side, back to back hoping not to bump into her. Thinking the cost was clear, Grayson went to see Teri, Jane's assistant.
"Hey, Teri."
"Hey, Grayson," Teri said smiling. "What can I do for you? "
"Well actually, I was wondering if Jane is in?"
Teri sighed, as she told Grayson, "I am sorry, but Jane isn t in, she just called earlier this morning to tell me that she might not be coming in today and that I need to reschedule her appointments to tomorrow, I am really worried about her Grayson, she sounded really depressed on the phone. I tried to find out what was wrong, but she said she didn't want to talk about it." Teri shifted in her desk chair for a better look at the other lawyer. "Do you have any clue what could be bothering her?"
Grayson was silent for a moment, he didn't want to tell Teri what had happend, and anyway she was Jane's good friend, so he lied.
"I'm sorry Teri, I wish I knew, but I am sure she'll be fine tomorrow."
"Right, she has been under a lot pressure since the shooting, So yeah you are probably right, but I will make sure Jane knows you asked for her." Teri said
Grayson smiled, "Thanks, Teri."
"Bye. Bye" Teri said as she went back to work
As Grayson turned around to the way of his office, as he was caught off guard, there was Kim standing right in front him, all Grayson could say to her was,
"Kim,"
"Grayson," she said, "We need to talk"
Grayson didn t like the sound of that as she said," Talk"
Not sure how to get out of this he looked at his watch and lied," I am sorry, but I a lot of work,"
Kim wasn't to let Grayson get out of this as she grabbed a hold of his arm and demanded, "We need to talk now."
Kim pulled Grayson into his office, and once they entered, Grayson turned away from her as he put down his briefcase sighing, and began to say as he turned toward her,
"Kim, I'm sorry but what happened last night was..."
Kim didn't let Grayson finish his sentence as she kissed Grayson out of nowhere, Grayson did nothing, but didn't kiss back nor pulled him off, as Kim then later parted from his lips as she told him,
"I like you, Grayson, I like you a lot, and last night was amazing, I know, you like me too, I understand that you are still grieving for Deb, and I can wait, I can . . ."
"Kim, stop please, Kim...I" Grayson said stopping her.
"What," Kim asked, trying to figure what was going on with Grayson. And then she asked,"Don't you like me?"
Grasyon sighed, stroking the back of his head not sure what to say to her without hurting her feelings.
"Kim, I like you, I do."
Kim smiled, as leaning in to give another kiss but Grayson pulled her back,
"But Kim, I am not in..."
It didn't take long for Kim to figure it out what he was trying to tell her, so before he could finish she did it for him,
"But, you are not in love with me."
Grayson shook his head, Yes as he told her, "Its Jane."
"Her, why her?" she hissed.
Kim was surprised as her heart started to break, as Grayson replied.
"Because, she understands me, she is easy to talk to, she cares for me, and when she saw us kissing last night, and I saw that heartbreaking look you are giving me right now, I realize, I couldn t stand the sight of Jane, hurting like that ever again."
Grayson tried to finish but had to stop as this was killing Kim and for the first time, she began to cry, Grayson felt her pain as he went towards her to comfort her as he said,
"I am sorry Kim." Kim stepped back from Grayson she didn t need his pity and she told him, "I am sorry, too, I was a fool for believing that you and me could work out."
"You are not a fool, Kim, I know you ll find someone better than me" Grayson told her.
"You really think so." Kim said, Grayson touching Kim's shoulder smiled,
"I know so." Kim smiled, as she leaned toward, Grayson, gave him a kiss on the cheek and said to him,
"Goodbye, Grayson. I hope you and Jane, will be happy together."
"Thank you, Kim, Goodbye."
Grayson watched Kim left, then he walked back to his desk, flopped on his chair, spun around as he looked though the platted glass wall as he looked across, Jane's office, thinking of the dream he had last night, the thought Jane, being Deb was crazy, but t if Jane was Deb, that would probably the best news he could ever hear but then again, it wouldn t matter as he loves Jane even if she didn't have Deb s characteristics, he has always admired for whom she was. And he hopes that later tonight he would get the chance to tell her that.
Chapter 5:
At 7:00pm everyone in the office was heading home and after almost everyone had left for the day, Jane came into the office knowing Grayson was still working late. or maybe playing backgammon online as he always was to keep hiding the fact to come alone without Deb every night, and She was right, there he was sitting there behind his office desk but something was different, he wasn't working nor playing backgammon online, he was just sitting there starring at her office which was right across from his. Not sure what he was starring at, or whether to disturb him. She decided anyway to knock on his office door. Released from his daze Grayson turned to see Jane standing there, just to check he wasn't imagining things he rubbed his eyes, and looked again, nope. Sighing in relief he stood and walked towards Jane.
"Jane," Jane held out her right hand stopping him in reply.
"Grayson, please stop there, please." He cam we to a complete halt, hands hung at his sides. They were both quiet a moment before Grayson broke the tense silence.
"Did you get my message?" He asked her.
"Yes, I did."
"Jane, I am so sorry for everything, really I am, what happened with me and Kim..." Before he could continue Jane again stopped him.
"Stop right there Grayson," She walked a little farther into the room, "Right now I don't need for you to talk or to explain anything to me because there is something I need to explain to you, something that I have to tell you," She stopped and took a deep breath before continuing. "A secret."
"A Secret?" Grayson repeated a confused frown on his face.
"Yes, A secret but before I tell you my secret, there is something you should know." Jane said
"Okay tell me, I am ready to listen Jane." Grayson said sitting at edge of his desk.
"You hurt me, Grayson, You really hurt me."
"I know, and I'm sorry, Jane please you need to know that."
"Grayson, no, you need to know that even though you hurt me, so much, I still love you. In fact, I have always loved you since the first time I saw you." Jane told a now speechless Grayson, she continued, " Grayson, um my secret is that um..." She couldn't do it, she couldn't tell him.
"What if... what if," Jane thought to herself. "No, you have to tell him." She whispered loud enough that Grayson heard her.
"Tell me what Jane?" He asked still confused. Looking at him and listening to her inner Deb, she finally told him.
"I'm Deb..." Grayson's eyes went a little wide, "I'm not Jane..." She looked down at herself, and smiled softly. "Well only in body." All Grayson could do was stare in disbelief, shaking his head. Jane tried to explain again.
"I mean I am Deb but I have Jane's body and smarts with my memories and fashion sense." Jane said proudly, doing a little kind of curtsy. Grayson still hadn't said anything.
"Grayson, I know this crazy but it's true, I am Deb, ever since my accident when I died, I went to heaven and everything and then I hit this return button on the computer and then my soul went into this body." Jane became more nervous when Grayson still hadn't said anything. "I wanted to tell you when I first found that you were working here, but I was scared, and I was planning on telling you everything last night, but then I saw you with Kim. I felt like all the memories we share we getting thrown out the window." Jane had tears in her eyes as Grayson had tears in his, he still felt this was all a dream and he couldn't believe what was happening.
"Grayson, look at me?" Jane pleaded. Grayson looked at her and for some reason he couldn't keep his eyes off of her, as Jane told Grayson, "Don't you remember, the first time we met, it was at the Skybar, and I poured champagne all over for you by accident, and then we looked into each others eyes, and we immediately clicked and you asked me out for dinner. And that lead to our first date as we dance to our song "Lucky" and that is when you kissed me for the first time. Grayson don't you remember the last time you saw me as Deb practicing for the my Price Is Right audition, you complemented me on my knees."
Grayson smiled while wiping the tears from his face as he heard that, he remember that day perfectly and then Grayson got up and added, "Then I found your lucky nail polish, wishing you luck."
Then Jane realize that Grayson not only remembered but believed her, he was embracing her with his right hand stroking up her arms to her hair, then caressing her cheek. Then Jane silently said, "Then you kissed me ..." But Jane didn't she get to finish the sentence as they both leaned in slowly as they enter into a sweet, and tender kiss and they pulled apart Jane finished, "Goodbye."
Grayson sighed, "Deb, I am so sorry, I wish I could figure it out soon, I mean to be honest, some part of me did know, but I was scared to. And what happened with me and Kim is was mistake as the truth was I caught up in the moment with, I was lonely, and I miss you and I am sorry. Can you forgive me."
Jane smiled, "Well, I just want to know one more thing first."
Grayson asked "What?"
"Did you love me for being Jane before you even knew I was Deb."
Grayson lean in closer to her told her, " Does this answer your question."
Grayson pulled Jane/Deb into another kiss as this one was more passionate than the last one they shared and as he pulled Jane back, Jane smiled and said.
"You're forgiven."
"I love you both Jane and Deb as one"
Jane reply back, "We love you too Grayson."
They then continued with a passionate kiss as Grayson and Jane were now finally caught up in their own moment.
