I do not own any part of Ghost Whisperer or its characters

ENJOY! :)

Jim Clancy is a teacher, and Melinda Gordon comes as an assistant to his class. Things start to heat up between them and they start going out. When he finds out her secret, how will he react?

Jim Clancy collapsed in his chair after a long day with his class. Little kids can become very tiring, he thought. There was a knock on his office door. "Come in!" Jim called, relaxing in his leather chair.

"Um, hello, my name's Melinda Gordon, Im supposed to be here to assist after lunch, which would be in 5 minutes", a woman, dressed in faded black jeans and a baby pink blouse, said.

Damn, she's hot! Was all Jim could think about as he stared, mouth open, dazed by his assistant. Melinda clicked her fingers, and Jim snapped out of his fantasy, and almost fell backwards out of his chair. He got up slowly and walked up to her.

"Well, Im , but you can call me Jim" he said, shaking her hand. "Well, you can call me Melinda" she said, smiling at him.

"The children are outside for lunch now, so I guess you have… 3 minutes to get ready" Jim said, checking his watch. "Cool. What would you like me to do?" she asked sweetly, putting her folder and handbag down on the bookshelf.

Kiss me… Jim thought wildly, and Melinda waited patiently for him. "Uh, there isn't really anything to do until the kids come back" Jim said, rubbing his head. "Well, what do you want me to do when they come?" she asked politely, fumbling with the end of her blouse with her fingers.

Tell them to go to another class so I can have you all to myself… Jim shook his head vigorously, where were all these wild thoughts coming from? "We will have to see when they come" he said softly, and he went to sit back down on his chair.

"So, do you have any siblings?" Melinda asked, trying to make light conversation before class. Depends if you do, because when we get married they will become my brothers and sisters. "Ah, not anymore" Jim said, looking down. "You?"

"No, Im an only child" Melinda said, careful not to tread on the soft subjects. The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch. "C'mon, let's go meet the kids" Jim said, getting up and helping her up off the desk where she was sitting.

When Melinda and Jim walked out to the front of the classroom, the 26 children were lined up in two neat rows. "Children, this is my assistant, Miss Gordon. She will be staying with us for the remainder of today" Jim said, placing his hands softly on her shoulders.

"She's pretty!" a little girl said out loud. "Yes, she is beautiful" Jim said, running his fingers down her arms. Melinda shivered at his soft touch. "Children, you may go inside and sit at your seats" he said, and the children went in row by row. "They are so cute" Melinda commented, following after the children. "I know, just like you" Jim said, making her giggle.

Jim and Melinda helped the children colour in a picture of a bear to hang up around the classroom. Melinda connected with the kids automatically, and soon she was laughing and talking with them. Jim watched from afar, checking out Melinda as she helped a little girl in front of her.

By the end of the day, Melinda was worn out by the energy of the children around her, and she sat on the desk in Jim's office whilst he sat in his chair. "They are so energetic, I wish I was like that" Melinda said, taking her hair out of her ponytail. Jim sat up on the other side of the desk behind her and started running his fingers through her hair.

"What are you doing?" Melinda asked, enjoying Jim's company more than the average person would. "Oh, Im sorry" Jim said, and he took his hands away from her. "No, its fine, I was just wondering what you were doing" Melinda said softly, and Jim continued combing her hair with his fingers. "You have such pretty hair, it smells like flowers" Jim commented, watching Melinda's reaction. "Thankyou and you have been complimenting me all day, handsome" Melinda replied, smiling sweetly.

"Will you go out with me?" Jim rushed to get his words out. Melinda turned around. "Sorry?" she asked, confused. "I didn't quite catch that". "Will you go out with me?" he asked again, more clearly this time. "I thought you would be taken, being this hot" Melinda said quietly. "What?" Jim said, he only got a few words out of her sentence. "Never mind" she said. "Is that a no, then?" Jim said, looking disappointed. "No, I will go out with you" Melinda said, and she kissed his cheek.

"Cool, I have been wanting to ask you all day" Jim said, wrapping some of her hair around his finger. "Isn't there like some rule that there isn't allowed to be work relationships at this school?" Melinda thought out loud. "Isn't there a saying that goes 'Run after the one you love, before they outrun you'?" Jim answered her question with a question. "That is so cute, answering a question with a question" Melinda said, looking into Jim's mesmerising blue eyes.

"You are amused by the simplest of things, Melinda"Jim teased, pre-occupied by her hair. "Hey, just call me Mel if you like" she said, closing her eyes. "Maybe I will" Jim whispered into her ear. He glanced down at his watch, and realised all the time he had spent with the wonderful woman in front of him. "Mel, I gotta get home soon, and so should you" Jim said, not wanting to ruin the moment. "Damn, but at least I will get to see you tonight" Melinda said, opening her eyes slowly. "Yeah, is 7 okay?" Jim asked, getting off the desk and going to stand in front of her. "Yeah, I guess. Ill give you my address" she answered, grabbing a piece of paper off the desk. She wrote down her address in neat cursive, whilst Jim watched on. "Here you go" she said, folding up the piece of paper and putting it into his pocket.

"Great, I will see you then" Jim said, helping her off the desk and pecking her on the cheek before walking out of his office. "Don't worry, the janitor locks up" Jim called, watching her from the window outside. Melinda picked up her things, smiling, and walked out the door, excited for the night ahead.
