Author's Chapter Notes:

Pam and Jim talk again.

Standard disclaimer: I do not own the Office, AOL, or the stories I have based this on. 


 

MorganLaFey: hey

WScranton8: hi

MorganLaFey: so what do you think of my new apartment?

WScranton8: very classy

MorganLaFey: thanks for helping me pick it out

WScranton8: you’re welcome

WScranton8: I still think you should have held out for extra kitchens though

MorganLaFey: what, is my one kitchen not enough for you?

WScranton8: I dunno, I think you could have gotten more

WScranton8: that landlord was ready to deal

MorganLaFey: I didn’t think that was the room you were most interested in anyway

WScranton8: and just what are you implying, Beesly?

MorganLaFey: I’m just saying that we didn’t spend most of our time last night in the kitchen

WScranton8: you’re right, that living room was definitely not to be missed

MorganLaFey: not what I meant :-P

WScranton8: Pamela Morgan Beesly, are you suggesting I was most interested in the bedroom?

MorganLaFey: maaaaaaaaaybe

MorganLaFey: we did spend an inordinate amount of time there ;-)

WScranton8: I disagree

WScranton8: vehemently

WScranton8: that time was entirely ordinate

MorganLaFey: :-)

WScranton8: as is the time we’re going to spend there tonight

MorganLaFey: who said anything about tonight?

MorganLaFey: I thought you knew this was strictly a one-time offer

WScranton8: oh, I understood that

WScranton8: I just figured it was a one-time deal with an unlimited end date

WScranton8: buy now, keep forever

MorganLaFey: are you suggesting you bought me, Jim?

WScranton8: maybe I misspoke

WScranton8:  acquire? obtain? possess?

MorganLaFey: how about “opt in”?

WScranton8: works for me

MorganLaFey: me too :-)

MorganLaFey: and yeah, now that you’ve opted in, I’m afraid you’re stuck with me

WScranton8: I can think of worse fates ;-)

WScranton8: like, all other fates :-)

MorganLaFey: that smiley definitely undersells your face right now

WScranton8: :-D

WScranton8: better?

MorganLaFey: :-*

WScranton8: even better

MorganLaFey: so, Jim

WScranton8: yes?

MorganLaFey: could you do me a teensy favor?

WScranton8: what is it, Pam?

MorganLaFey: I need more cocoa

WScranton8: as you wish

MorganLaFey: :-)

MorganLaFey: thanks honey

MorganLaFey: oh, and while you’re up?

WScranton8: *sigh* yes?

MorganLaFey: what was in that card yesterday?

WScranton8: card?

MorganLaFey: don’t play dumb, Halpert, it doesn’t suit you ;-)

MorganLaFey: the card you almost gave me and then took away

WScranton8: oh, that card

WScranton8: um, just an expression of my feelings towards…OK, do I say “you” or “Pam” or “Normal Chick”?

WScranton8: speaking of which, why are we doing this over IM again?

MorganLaFey: so you don’t ruin the movie with talking :-P

WScranton8: but kisses are fine?

MorganLaFey: are you complaining about the kisses?

WScranton8: no, no, no

WScranton8: I withdraw my previous remark!

MorganLaFey: damn right you do

MorganLaFey: and don’t change the subject

MorganLaFey: any of the three options are acceptable, go on with the story

WScranton8: an expression of my feelings towards Pam

WScranton8: that I wrote back when I put the teapot gift together

MorganLaFey: thank you for that, by the way, it was perfect

WScranton8: glad you liked it :-)

WScranton8: I got it when I pulled your name back in, like, October

WScranton8: and I wrote the card then

WScranton8: but suddenly it felt very wrong to give you the card when you’d been all up in that iPod earlier and I was going on a date with Morgan later that day

MorganLaFey: but not wrong to give to me while you were dating Katy?

WScranton8: well, you may remember I broke up with Katy

WScranton8: but yeah, I suppose I was still dating her when I wrote it

MorganLaFey: so you didn’t give it to me because I messed with you about the iPod, and because you were going on a date with…well, me…later that day?

WScranton8: yeah, it felt like two-timing both of you

WScranton8: so I pulled it out

WScranton8: honestly I didn’t think you’d seen it

MorganLaFey: you gotta learn, Halpert, I pay close attention to you at all times

MorganLaFey: sometimes creepily close ;-)

WScranton8: I think I can deal with that :-*

MorganLaFey: so now that you know there’s only one of me…

MorganLaFey: and you’re not two-timing either of the single me…

WScranton8: objection!

WScranton8: I was kind of working under the assumption there was no “single” you anymore after yesterday ;-)

MorganLaFey: sustained

MorganLaFey: now that you know you’re not two-timing either of the unitary-but-totally-dating-you me…

MorganLaFey: do you think I could see it?

WScranton8: I suppose that’s fair

WScranton8: it’s in my bag, I’ll go grab it

MorganLaFey: thanks Jim

MorganLaFey: don’t forget the cocoa ;-)

WScranton8: here you go

WScranton8: now I’ll just go hide under a blanket until you read it

MorganLaFey: awwww

MorganLaFey: you wrote this in October?

MorganLaFey: that’s so sweet

WScranton8: :-)

MorganLaFey: c’mere you

MorganLaFey: I love you too

MorganLaFey: I think it’s time to take this conversation back offline ;-)

WScranton8: sounds good to me ;-)

WScranton8: love you too

MorganLaFey has signed off

WScranton8 has signed off
