Now, I should confess that I really only broke this into two parts because I wanted to extend it farther to see peoples separate thoughts on BOTH chapters. Guess that backfired when I only got on reviewer. Lol. Thank you again, Starstrewn for your kind words of encouragement.

Now, the end… Lol

DISCLAIMER: Don't own this. Swear.

Pam smiled brightly at knowing for sure that Jim was okay. "Good. I'm glad." She then, almost abruptly, hugged Jim, tightly, smiling, enjoying the feeling of his body against hers. Pam then quickly pried herself off of him, realizing that she'd been hugging him for too long to be played off. She smiled, almost sheepishly up at him.

Jim, managing to pull himself out of the very pleasurable feeling of Pam hugging him, cleared his throat, finally getting out, "Um… You-Your ring…" He was almost unsure if he should finish the sentence, almost afraid to, for running the risk of his original assumption being wrong. So, he merely gestured to her now absent ring finger, just so she what he was talking about for certain.

Pam directed her attention back her blank ring finger as well "Oh.", then feeling almost a sense of pride at the fact that she was no longer wearing that horrible eyesore (at least, to her) of a ring, at even the fact that she wasn't feeling the least bit scared of not having it. That had only ever been the reason why she stayed with Roy, her insane fear of loneliness. But she didn't feel that anymore. As she brought her eyes up back to Jim's beautiful caramel brown ones, she truly didn't fear being alone. So, she finally said it out loud, to the only two people she wanted to hear it, Jim and herself, making it official, "I-I uh-I um…" Pam took in a deep breath "I broke up with Roy." Finally getting it out, made her feel so much more… stronger, made it more real, like she'd actually done it, and it wasn't just some fantasy that she'd been acting out in her head (as she often did), that she had finally broken the chains of who she'd been. It was truly an amazing feeling to feel that way, to be free of the old her.

Jim almost had to double back at that. "You did?" He was so in disbelief, not at Pam. He'd always known that it was something she could do, if she just allowed herself to. He was more in disbelief at the situation.

Pam stood up a little straighter, as she said, "Yes. What he did…trying to attack you… that was just crazy, and wrong, and completely unacceptable. And it was just too much. I had to."

Jim smiled widely, slightly in awe. "You broke up with him for me?" As he said it, Jim felt like he was surely taking a major logic leap, but never the less, it felt really good to say.

Pam smiled back, saying softly, looking right into his eyes, "Of course I did."

"And you're okay?"

"I really am." She said, smiling, then stating very proudly, "I also hit him."

Jim couldn't help but laugh at that, simply replying, "Awesome." He then stared at her for a few seconds, taking in the beautifully confident feeling coming from her, loving her in a completely new way. He then briefly thought that it must be some kind of weird that he found Pam hitting Roy for him so… hot, attractive, amazing… all the words crossed his mind, but… romantic, was the only that he could find to fully describe it as he stared into her gorgeous emerald green eyes. So much so, that he didn't even care that it sounded like something Kelly would say. He then couldn't help it. Jim just leaned down, and kissed Pam gently on the lips.

And even though she was surprised by Jim's actions, Pam didn't pull away, instead she did just the opposite, she kissed him back, softly at first, and then more deeply, finally expressing the feelings she'd felt since the first day she met him.

But, then, suddenly, Pam stopped.

Pam reluctantly, and begrudgingly pulled herself away from Jim's warm embrace, completely breathless from the most amazing kiss she'd ever had, and the most amazing feeling she'd ever felt, then placing her hand on Jim's chest, keeping her eyes fixed on it. Which may have seemed like a move to hold Jim back, when in reality, it was to hold her back. "Don't. Not unless you mean it."

Jim took a slight step back, a little confused, trying to un-fog his brain from the kiss they'd just shared, and from the fact that she'd just recoiled out of nowhere from it. "'Mean' what?" He began to feel a sudden fear creep over him that the hope that her kiss had given him would be stripped away.

Pam swallowed hard, looking back up into Jim's eyes, hers now flooded with tears. "This. Us. Don't kiss me like that, unless you mean it. Unless you want me that way. Unless this is real for you too. Not unless you mean it." Her voice choked out the words a little, as she looked down a bit, to avoid his eyes.

Jim just smiled in relief, then softly cupping her face with his hands, almost whispering, "Hey." as he gently brought her head up so her eyes were meeting his. "I mean it."

Pam smiled widely, blinking back the tears of joy that began to come to her eyes. "Really?"

Jim smiled just as widely, and said, "Of course."

Jim and Pam kissed instantaneously, deeply, passionately, Jim wrapping his arms around Pam's waist, while she did the same with his neck, their tongues eagerly intertwining, as they pulled themselves into eachother, completely and unyieldingly embracing one another for the first time ever.

They then separated from their kiss, but yet still, didn't separate, as they still held their foreheads pressed together, both breathing heavy.

Jim then said, "After all, you hit your ex for me. How can I not want a girl like that?"

Pam laughed. She then smiled, in an almost coy way, saying, "I kicked him in the groin too. What does that get me?" as she leaned back into Jim, closing most of the distance between them, so close their lips were almost touching again.

Jim laughed, and said, "Let's just wait and see."

Done. Finally! I completed a story for my one loyal fan, Starstrewn. I guess it helps that I crafted this story as a one parter in the first place. Lol.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!

Spread some Halloween cheer to me!
