Kelly of course has a nose for this sort of thing and no filter. Love that you worked in Pam's infamous pink sweater. And Kevin and Oscar are hilarious here.

If Ryan wasn't so awful, I'd feel bad for him here. Jim is setting a high bar to clear.

They are adorably smitten here. Really fun to read. And I think you captured that post-first night together awkwardness well. And also drunk Pam. Who is amazing.

Author's Response:

Loved you found the pink sweater shoutout, it was the whole reason for writing that particular section. I loved the Kevin/Oscar talking head and just needed it in here somewhere.

Glad you liked my drunk Pam! Wait til you meet drunk Jim :)

Thanks as always for the review! 

Really interesting how they react to the morning after. Pam comes back into the office wearing what she was before and Kelly immediately knows exactly why. That really tracks for Kelly too. Angela, wow, you may want to learn some tact, especially if you're borderline insulting someone in front of your boss. Still it rings true for her. I do wonder what if anything will happen with Cathy though. She seemed quite taken with Jim as well and now for her to find out Pam is seeing him? Could be interesting.

Looks like Pam's doing pretty well for herself too based on those apartment and clothing pics. Sounds good. A glimmer of her backstory as well. Have there been a few dating instances that kind of discouraged her from the whole dating scene for a while? Remains to be seen for sure.

What's a lot of fun is that even with Jim sweeping her off her feet, once the layers are peeled back it feels like he's the same dorky Jim we know and love. I really like that. This Jim may be rolling in money and has the confidence to pull it off, but here with Pam, he's the great guy we know he is.

You do have to feel for the guy when it comes him opening up about his father. That it gave him the drive to be where he is shows he's an optimist for sure though. I also love that here on their second date he's already comfortable opening up to Pam. They're getting past surface level things and starting to go deeper in their relationship.

Also a little spunk there from Pam to get Jim back to her place. I mean she did fix it up all nice for him after all. It would be a shame for all that effort to go to waste. Looking forward to more as always.

My take on both Jim and Pam for this one is that they’re definitely the same people, but they’ve just got more confidence and have realised their dreams, and most importantly are both single!!! before they found each other. I can’t be doing with any angst hahah!!

They’ve both got some backstories to explore, so hopefully you’ll enjoy what you’ve got to discover!

Thanks as always for the review, and hope you like what’s to come!

I adore this story which is made so fun with the addition of pictures and images that really bring the story to life. I love the sweet references to The Office and appreciate Jim and Pam in a different setting. Hope they continue to fall madly in love!

Author's Response: Ah thank you so much!! So glad to hear you’re loving the story! And thank you so much for reviewing my fic on your first day here! Welcome to MTT!

This date is fun. They're so delightfully awkward but into each other enough that it's charming, along with plenty of steam So many That's What She Saids... And I love that Jim successfully seduces Pam by owning a work from one of her favorite artists.

He has a terrace!!!!

""Yeah, I'm still not putting it in my mouth, but I think we're ok." BEESLY.

"Hello Daddy." "Create more than just a business deal." Angela and Kelly being pregnant at the same time. Pam dreaming of what to tell their kids. And now the expired condom. Am I the last one who figured out this is an accidental pregnancy story?

Author's Response:

Hehe this made me laugh so much reading it, I don’t think you’re the last, but maybe near the back haha!!

And what a terrace he has 😜

Very sexy update. 😍
I also have to wonder if the expired condom
date will lead to pregnancy number three at
Ordinary Things. 🤔
Once again I like the pictures you included at the end of the chapter. I also love how often you are giving
us new chapters, so please keep it up.

Author's Response:

Maybe 😬😬

Lots more pictures to come don’t worry! 

Next chapter is potentially quite long or might be split into two, but I’ll have it up ASAP as possible. Twss.

*She bit her lip slightly as she weighed up her options, before downing the last of her drink. "Ok, let's go see this impressive piece then."*

narrator voice: ...and she did ;)

Author's Response: Hahah when I wrote that, that’s exactly what happened in my head haha

Your beta sounds cool. Cool enough to be mistaken for Harry Styles? Only on thursdays.

This was cool. Keep it up. - Number one fan

Author's Response:

Eh, they're getting there. Don't want them getting a big head.

But THANKS, this would have been trash without you.

*As Jim dialled the number, he smirked to himself. $20 million for a first date, he thought, but I know she's going to be worth it.*

This was so cute. Not a bad day.

Love all the not-so-subtle JK shoutouts :)

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review! Hope you’re enjoying it!

Oh, Kelly. She may never learn that saying "no offense" doesn't actually make what follows not offensive.

Muggle Quidditch is definitely the key to winning this account. Don't shy away from it, Jim.

$20 million for a first date. The cost of true love!

"I'm never going to grow tired of this laugh. It's my new favourite sound in the world." EEEEP.

"Whatever the client wanted, the client got. Well, within reason. But she felt with Creed as the client, those boundaries might need to be looked at." Wise.

A date in an empty Madison Square Garden? Power move. And a fun way to embrace the rooftop-grilled-cheese vibe *and* the ice skating scene all at once.

"We found Angela when she was running a stall selling these creepy pictures of babies like all dressed up and stuff, and she was making a killing." "So does Angela still sell those pictures?" "That's what you took from that whole story?" LOL.

Super cute first date!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying it and I’m happy you liked the date 😊 

Thanks as always for the review!

This was a lot of fun, enjoying how this is panning out.

Author's Response: Thanks so much! Love that you’re enjoying it!!

Well first date on ice is much better than what Roy
went for. I mean who brings their brother on a first date? 🤦r05;a92;a039;
Kelly makes me SMH.I think she’s a little jealous
That Jim wasn’t interested n her, and that deep
down she had to trap Ryan into being with her.
I think Kelly is going to end up raising her baby alone.
After seeing how Jim knows Matt Damon and can can private time at MSG, I think that Karen likes him for the wrong reasons. Cathy seems just as crazy in this story as she did in canon.

Author's Response:

Yes exactly! No one wants a brother there, especially Kenny! 🙈

Jim definitely has an exciting life, you can see why the ladies like him

Thanks for the review!
