Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 1
My Name: Nicole
Age: 21
Company I work at: Dunder-Mifflin
Why I chose this job: I don’t know. Maybe it was because I have nothing else to do in my life.
Yeah, I seriously don’t have a clue what I chose this job in the first place. If I told my parents I was working for a paper company they would probably be all over my ass. But, since I don’t talk to my parents a whole lot anymore, I really don’t see why it matters now.
Ok, here’s one reason one I work at Dunder-Mifflin: I don’t have a college diploma yet. So, apparently, this was the only place that was nice enough to hire me. I mean, I really enjoy the people that I work with, especially Jim and Pam. They are probably the nicest and most down to earth people on this planet. Dwight and Michael…well…not so much.
At the moment I have a boyfriend named Aaron. We’ve been dating for over two years now. I met him when I moved from Kansas City to Scranton. He’s a really nice guy and he’s always been there for me. But, at times I just don’t think we click. You get what I’m saying right? I just think that something might happen soon. I don’t want to say that I’m right though. No, not yet.

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 2
I seriously do not like working across from Kelly. I mean, she’s a nice person, but the girl talks way too much. Why Michael put me back here…I cannot answer that. I guess the answer to that might be because it was the only place open for me to work. She told me yesterday that she had a crush on Ryan the temp. I seriously don’t care at all at this point because that’s all she ever talks about!
I seriously like Jim Halpert. Ok, that was really stupid. How could anyone not like him? He’s cute, smart, and funny. I always watch him play some dirty trick on Dwight. It’s great. I’m afraid to say things to him though. I’m not really the timid, shy person. Actually, in my high school year book I was quoted as The Biggest Flirt. I had no trouble talking to guys; they usually had trouble talking to me.
So, why am I so afraid to talk to Jim? Well, mostly because he’s in a relationship right now. As far as I know, he’s been dating this girl named Katy who sells purses. I wasn’t around to meet her when she came here, and I’m glad I didn’t. There probably would have been a cat fight or something! Well…I’m actually just kidding about that. Aaron would probably kill me if he saw me with another guy.
I usually don’t eat lunch with everyone either. Pam has urged me to come and eat lunch with the “group,” but I usually just say no.
“Why not?” she keeps asking me.
I finally decided to tell her why this afternoon. “Can you keep a secret?”
We went down the hallway where no one could hear or see us. I looked around, just to make sure. “I have a crush on Jim.”
“Why is that such a big deal?”
“Pam, I have a boyfriend. Aaron would probably kill me if he saw me out with other guys. I mean, what about you and Roy?”
“Jim and I are just friends…nothing else.”
I hesitated. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.”
She smiled. “It’s all right. Want to go out somewhere?”
“Thank you! I have to get away from Kelly!” And we hurried out the door.

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 3
“So, why Dunder-Mifflin?” Pam asked as we drove off.
“I don’t have a college diploma.”
“I see. Are you going to school anywhere?”
I shook my head. I wasn’t too happy about the decision. If Aaron hadn’t decided to move, then I would still be in school.
“Not much of a talker are you?”
I laughed a bit and smiled. “I’m sorry. I just don’t talk much about my life. I was hurt a lot as a kid…and I still hurt sometimes…”
“Relationship troubles?”
I nodded. “Sometimes I just feel like Aaron and I are growing farther apart. I don’t think this relationship is going anywhere…but I don’t want to say anything.”
“I have the same problems with Roy. I don’t get him sometimes.”
“You don’t think he’s cheating behind your back…do you?”
She laughed. “Roy? Nah. I don’t think he would do anything like that. We’ve been dating since we were in high school. Engaged for three years now.”
She showed me her ring and I smiled. “You’re lucky you have someone who loves you.”
“You do too Nicole. Just give it time.”
I smiled more when she said that. “Thanks.”
“So, are you going to talk to Jim now?”
“I don’t know. I’m still a little shy around him.”
“I think that’s his type though.”
“But he’s dating right now!”
“You know what?”
“What?”
“He’s having a party over at his house this weekend. Why don’t you come? It’ll be fun.”
“You know what? Maybe I will go. It’ll be nice for me to get out of the house. I can just tell Aaron a little white lie.”
“Thatta girl!”
“Hey Pam?”
“Yeah?”
“Thanks.”
“No problem. Well, we had better get back before Michael fires us!”

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 4
I got off work around twenty after five. I was just ready to head straight for the door so I could get away from Kelly. She would just not shut up about tonight and how excited she was that Ryan was going to be there. Someone just please shoot me now! I kept thinking. But as soon as I was about to leave, Jim stopped me.
“Hey Nicole?”
“Yeah?”
He came closer to me and whispered in my ear, “did you get the invitation to my party?”
“Yeah, I did. But why are you whispering?”
He looked around. “Because Michael think it’s a secret. So, are you coming?”
“Yeah. I’ll be there around 7. But I really need to get going.”
“Ok. Thanks for letting me know.”
“Oh. No problem,” and I headed out the door.
I couldn’t believe I was doing this. If Aaron found out I was going to be at another person’s house, he would kill me. I just need to pray to God that he’ll be working late tonight.
As soon as I got in my car my cell phone started to ring. “Hello?” I asked.
“Hey baby,” said Aaron in his sweet, innocent voice.
“Hi. How are you?”
“I’m doing all right. Hey Nicole, I need to work late again.”
“Ok.”
“Ok? You aren’t going to yell at me like you usually do?”
I rolled my eyes. “I’m going out with some of the girls from work tonight. We’re going to the movies.”
“Ok. Well, don’t wait up for me when you get home. I probably won’t be home until around three.”
“Thanks.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too,” and I hung up the phone. Thank you God! I thought. I can’t believe he actually believed me! I just hope everything goes according to plan.

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 5
I got ready around six. It usually doesn’t take me that long to get ready because I don’t like wearing make-up. Everyone says I perfect skin and that I don’t need it (and I’m really glad that they say that!). It was nice to get out of my work clothes, and into something more comfortable! The only thing I wanted to do was to avoid Kelly all night. Hopefully she got all the talking out of her system!
I left the house around six-thirty. I usually don’t like to be late for anything. Plus I didn’t know how long it would take for me to get to Jim’s house. I’m kind of a dud when it comes to directions. I just couldn’t believe that I actually found his house! And I got there in like ten minutes too!
I seriously didn’t want to go in at first. But I just kept thinking to myself, you can do this Nikki. Remember in high school when everyone used to call you a flirt? Don’t be scared! Be like you were in high school. I got out my car and just didn’t care anymore. I had to do this.
When I got to his house, people were already going inside, so I didn’t have to knock.
Jim came over to me with a big smile. “Hey! Nice to see you here!”
“Thanks!”
“Here, let me take your coat,” he said after I took it off.
“Thanks.”
“Hey, have you seen Pam?”
I shook my head. “No. But I hope she’s coming. Michael still doesn’t know, does he?”
“Nope. And let’s hope to God it stays that way,” and he walked off.
Yeah, I don’t blame you for saying that. I thought.
I then went into living room to meet Jim’s room-mate and his girlfriend and got myself situated with everyone else.
About fifteen minutes later Jim was about to give us a tour of his duplex when Pam suddenly walked in. I could have not have been more happier. And soon the tour was underway.
I kept checking my cell phone to see if Aaron had called me during the little tour. I knew I was being stupid, but what if he found out that I had lied to him? He would probably do something terrible.
“I’m going into his room,” Pam whispered to me.
“What?!”
“Just keep going with everyone else and don’t say anything.”
I nodded. “All right.”
I looked back as she disappeared into Jim’s room.
About five minutes later, Jim noticed that Pam wasn’t there.
“Do you know where she went?” he asked me.
“I think she’s somewhere back there,” and I just went back downstairs with the rest of the group.

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 6
Well, no one really noticed that Jim and Pam were gone. Everyone scattered all over the kitchen, the living room, and the back yard. I went into the living room to get in line for karaoke. I knew how to sing and I was pretty damn good at it too. But I wasn’t going to do it until Jim come back downstairs. I wanted to blow everyone away.
“Jim’s coming,” Kelly whispered in my ear.
Was I scared? Oh hell. At that moment all the fear come rushed into my blood. But I had to do this. I popped in my CD of Broadway karaoke songs and just did it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out Tonight
From: Rent
Whats the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It say,'Time for danger'
It says 'I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger'
I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the
Games
Get-up life's too quick
I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance it the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We wont be back
Before it's Christmas Day
Take me out tonight (meow)
When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That your on line with the feline of
Avenue B
Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight
In the evening I must roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels to damn much like like home
When the spanish babies cry
So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scares from the
Nevers and maybes die
Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in
Heat?
Just take me out tonight
Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“That was great,” said Jim.
“Thanks. Well, I really ought to be going.” I didn’t want to tell him the real reason why I needed to leave. He didn’t need to know.
“All right. Well, thanks for coming.”
“Thanks for inviting me,” and I headed out of his house.

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 7
When I got into my car, I just sat there. I started to cry. Why the hell are you doing this? I thought to myself. Everyone is out there having fun while you're just sitting in here crying. You need to break up with Aaron. You know you deserve better than him.
But I know I couldn't break up with him now. He would have to decide if he wanted to end this relationship or not. So, at the moment, I wasn't going to do anything. I knew that he would never hurt me. He told me that he was going to be late coming home tonight. So what? I knew that I could trust me.
I was still there when everyone was starting to leave. Pam could tell that I hadn't left yet, so she walked over to my car and knocked on the window.
"Car trouble?" she asked as I rolled the window down.
I shook my head. "I was just thinking about some stuff."
"Are you all right?"
I nodded. "Yeah,I'm fine. Well...I had better get going," I rolled up my window and headed out of the parking lot.
As I drove off, I saw Jim just standing on the stairs. I knew in my heart that he would never want to go out with me. At that pivitol moment, I knew that Jim liked Pam, and that he wasn't going to tell anyone that he liked her. Mostly because they were just friends, and Pam was engaged to Roy.
But I knew that I couldn't say anything to him. I didn't want to hurt him or anything. So, I just drove out of the nieghborhood and back to my house.

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 8
The week and weekend had been pretty nice. Christmas was coming up fast. Usually Aaron and I go to his parent's house in the south part of Kansas City. But, this year, since we were a little tight on money we just decided to stay here. Which was good because I really didn't want to go anywhere. Having a nine to five job really wears you out sometimes and you don't want to go anywhere that year.
"I promise I'll take you somewhere after New Year's," he said. "But right now we just can't go anywhere.
I didn't know what to say about that. But I knew that he was right. I didn't have the greatest job in the world right now, and I wasn't making a ton of money. But, then again, neither was he.
So I just said, "All right," and left it at that.
I wasn't really worried about anything else, excepting getting a Christmas present for him, and who ever I got in the Secret Santa drawing (which I wasn't going to find out until tomorrow). I was hoping that I wouldn't have to get Kelly, Michael, or Dwight. I really was hoping to get Angela because I knew she liked cats, so it would be really easy to shop for her.
Aaron thought that the whole idea of the Secret Santa was pretty lame. But then again, he pretty much thought every fun thing to do was lame. But I didn't care anymore. I had gotten used to his ways. I just had to roll with it and pretend like he wasn't hurting my feelings.

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 9
The next morning as I got up, I couldn't believe what I saw. Aaron had made me breakfast in bed.I then knew that something wasn't right. I asked him why he had done this.
"Because you don't need to go to that," he said.
"I knew it," I said as I got out of bed.
"Oh c'mon! I was just trying to be nice."
"Oh yeah, it's nice that you're trying to get me fired! I still need to go to work Aaron."
"What if he go somewhere?"
"Aaron, we don't have any money. You know that."
"Well, we could drive to New York. You've always wanted to go there."
"Oh, and like I have the money to shop and rent a hotel."
"Just for one day."
I sighed. He was right. I had wanted to go to New York for a while. "Oh, all right."
"That's my girl."
"I'll call Michael." Even though he probably won't like the idea that I'm calling him at the last minute I thought. I shouldn't be doing this...Oh but what the hell? Does he really need me all that much? I doubt it
I call Michael, and to my surprise, he was fine with it. So I told Aaron that everything was fine and we started packing. But as we started packing, the phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked as I answered it.
"Hi," it was Jim! I looked around and ran into the bathroom.
"Jim, I'm trying to pack!"
"I'm sorry. It's just that, I got you something and I want to know what your address is so I can drop it off."
Dammit! How could I have been so stupid?! "Can you just leave it on my desk?"
"Well,it's a box of chocolates."
Double dammit! "Can I meet you somewhere?"
"All right. There's something going on is there?"
"Jim, Aaron isn't the type of person who really likes other guys. He will so kill me if he saw you."
"What if you told him that I'm from work?"
"He'll think I'm lying. You don't know how he is."
He sighed. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. "All right. Where do you want to meet?"
I gave him the address of where we could meet.
"All right. I'll see you later then. Bye."
"Bye,"and I hung up the phone.
I opened the door. I looked around. No one's here. Thank god!
"There you are!" said Aaron.
I jumped up half a foot off the ground. "OH CHRIST! Don't do that! I just went to the bathroom. Hey, I just remembered that I needed to drop a Christmas card off for my mom at the post office."
"Ok, but don't be too long."
"I won't!"
It works everytime. How long can I keep this up? He's going to find out sooner or later. But oh well. Not that it matters now right? I just hope that he doesn't find out...

Re: Without You ~PG-13~
Chapter 10
I hated lying to Aaron,but this was the only then I could from starting trouble with him. I really didn't want Aaron to leave me. I knew he was a good guy, he's just under a bunch of stress right now with his job and everything. At least he was taking me to New York this weekend.
But I really felt bad doing this to Jim too. But I knew how Aaron could get with every new I came upon. He'd probably think that I was dating Jim behind my back or something. I kept wanting to question him about that. I thought of saying something like: Well,if you think I'm dating another guy how do I know you're not cheating on me behind my back?
But I knew that would be a stupid thing to say. He would never cheat on me and I knew that. He would probably slap me if I said something like that and call me stupid(I would probably do the same thing, but he would probably leave me if I did).
I finally came across the place where I supposed to meet Jim. It was pretty cold outside and I really didn't want to get out of my car. But I knew it wouldn't be polite if I at least didn't say thank you to him for giving me my present, especially after he went through all the trouble to get me it.
I stopped right by Borders. I loved going to this bookstore. It was nice to come here especially after a hard day at work.
I looked around and couldn't see Jim's car. Maybe he's just late. I thought. God I hope he hasn't forgotten. No. Jim would never forget. Oh, what the hell is wrong with me?! I'm starting to freak out for no damn reason. I need to get a hold of myself! About two minutes later I saw his car pull up. Oh thank god. He's here. I waited for him to get out his car, and then I got out of mine.
"Well,here you go," he said as he handed me the box of chocolates.
"Thank you very much."
"You want to go inside for a bit?"
"Well, I told Aaron that I had to drop off some mail. But I guess it wouldn't kill him if I stayed out a little longer."
"All right then." I put the box of chocolates down on the seat and we went inside. It was really nice to get out from the cold.
"You want something?" he asked me.
"Oh no. I'm good. Thank you though."
He smiled and went to go get something.
What the hell am I doing?! Aaron's going to kill me if he finds out about this. Oh well. I can just lie to him like I always do. He always buys it.
I went to go grab a table and we sat down.
"So, are you enjoying working at Dunder-Mifflin?"
"Yeah. It's pretty nice." I really didn't want to say too much, and I was starting to get a little scared.
"You ok?"
I hesitated. "Yeah. I'm fine."
He put his hand on mine. "No you're not."
I sighed. "I'm sorry. It's just that, Aaron doesn't like me hanging around with other men."
"He sounds like Roy."
"What?"
"Oh nothing. Forget I said that."
"I know what you mean. I've seen the way he treats her. You think I'm that stupid?"
"What do you think about him?"
I sighed. "You want the honest answer?"
"I want the honest answer."
"I seriously don't think that marriage is going to last long. Pam really isn't his type. I think she deserves better than him."
"Like who?"
I laughed. I really didn't know how to answer that. At that moment my cell phone started beeping. "Oh ****."
"What is it?"
"It's Aaron. I really need to go. It was nice talking to you," and I made a mad dash to my car.
