Authors Note: This story is an extension of the American version of The Office. Specifically, it chronicles the sexual awakening of Pam Beesley, one of the main characters. The story will come in three parts, this being the first installment. This being my first attempt at erotic literature, and thus my first attempt at fan fiction, I welcome constructive criticism. Pam Beesly has always been one of my favorite TV characters, and I believe she deserves a scintillating sexual journey. Thank you for reading.
*****
When Pam arrived at the office the following morning, things were quiet. Aside from the occasional ringing phone and quiet phone conversation, there was little going on.
Pam spent the first hour or so at her desk, checking off mundane tasks. She read emails, responding to some. She checked her voicemail, of which she had one. It was an office supplier asking if the office had any need for a restock of black pens.
It was not until about ten o'clock that she broke away from her tasks, leaned back in her chair, and stretched her arms up behind her head, letting out a sizable yawn. With that, she looked toward the accounting department of the office where Angela worked. Angela's desk was tidy, almost annoyingly so, and it was glaringly obvious when she wasn't sitting there.
In fact, nothing on her desk had been touched since yesterday. Pam could tell, because Angela's "to-do" list was still draped over her computer keyboard and her desk lamp was off.
Pam frowned inquisitively, wondering where Angela was. It made Pam somewhat uncomfortable. After such a wild chain of events from the day before, it was easy for Pam's cynical side to start conjuring up theories.
Maybe Angela was embarrassed. Maybe yesterday she was temporarily insane, and now was thinking clearly. Maybe she wanted nothing more than to avoid the office after such an out-of-character day.
Pam reached for her phone and wrote a text message.
"Hey!"
No response. Pam set her phone down and re-engaged with her computer, almost convincing herself, despite having no new emails, that she had something more important to do. Anything was better than stewing in unfounded feelings that she did something wrong, and now somehow was to be embarrassed or shamed.
By about lunchtime, Pam was tired, but she had talked herself out of being irrationally embarrassed just because Angela was absent. She was actually glad that it was a quiet day. Angela wasn't the only person missing from the office. The sales team had a day retreat to a conference center nearby, which meant almost total silence in the office.
Pam was somewhat relieved by that. She woke up late and didn't have a ton of time to get ready for the day. In particular, this meant that she didn't have time to iron any of her blouses, which meant she went for a slightly more casual look consisting of dress pants, flats, and a v-neck t-shirt covered by a simple grey blazer. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and she wore a pair of glasses.
While she clicked around on the internet, a voice startled her.
"Hey, Pam."
It was Pete Miller, who worked in customer service. Pam looked up from her computer.
"Hey, Pete," she said.
She always kind of liked Pete. He was quiet, handsome, and tall. He never seemed to get caught up with anyone or anything at the office. Instead, he kept his head down and got his work done, and was always nice to just about everyone. In many ways, he reminded her of a young Jim.
Pete stood over Pam holding a piece of paper.
"I know that we are filing complaints differently now, but I'm not sure what to do with these redacted complaints," he said. "Did they mention anything in the last meeting?"
Pam shifted her eyes up, as if trying to remember. When she looked back at Pete she caught him staring directly at her chest. Pam was sitting with her legs crossed, and leaning forward a few inches toward her desk. From Pete's vantage point, he could see directly down her v-neck shirt. At least half of her magnificent breasts were visible to him. Pam got the sudden urge to draw this out.
"Um," she said, and paused.
She started shuffling papers on her desk, making sure to keep the view available to Pete.
"Didn't Toby say something about a memo that came from corporate?"
She bent forward a bit more, reaching for a stack of papers further away on her desk. Those were office supply order forms and she knew it, but by now Pete was almost red in the face by this little visual gift, and she wanted to see how far she could take it.
"Uh, yea. Or... maybe? I don't know." Pete chuckled, shyly. "I wasn't really paying attention," he said.
Pam looked up at him and smiled.
"Yea, me neither, apparently," she said. "I'll let you know if I find that memo."
Pete cracked his knuckles and got one last eyeful down Pam's shirt.
"Alrighty, thanks!" he said. And he walked away.
Pam smiled and sat up straight, adjusting her shirt and pulling her blazer straight. Just then, a text message came through to her phone.
"Hey missy! I decided to take a lavish day off! I've been at a spa and now I'm taking myself out for lunch. Maybe YOU should take me out to dinner!"
Pam was relieved. None of her crazy cynical predictions were true. In fact, the opposite was true! And if she didn't know any better, Angela just asked her out on a date.
Pam typed back.
"I hear you have expensive tastes."
Angela responded.
"Wherever did you hear that? I'm a simple girl!"
Pam thought for a moment and then typed, "Ok then how about drinks at Coopers at 6?"
Angela responded, "Can't wait!"
...
It was nearly 4:30 when Pam's phone buzzed with a text message. It startled her a bit, since at that moment she was lost in something of a daze staring at her computer screen.
It was not uncommon for her to indulge in a little YouTube in the final minutes of a work day. It was not as if there was ever a mountain of work for Pam, so her penchant for efficiency almost always left her several hours of "run out the clock" time at work.
On this occasion, she watched a montage of video clips, set to some particularly whimsical music, of cats getting caught in unexpected situations. The video was aptly titled "Cats are Funnier than Humans." Truth be told, Pam did not find the video all that funny, but it was certainly more entertaining than counting down the minutes before five o'clock.
The text was from Jim.
"Are you proud of the effort you've put in at work today?"
Pam read the text while simultaneously twirling a lock of her hair with her finger. She chuckled a bit. Jim was referencing a time not long ago when Jo Bennett was in charge of Dunder Mifflin. Jo was something of a task-master, and while she was the CEO, the company ran quite differently. In fact, Pam couldn't ever remember wasting thirty minutes on YouTube while Jo was in charge. Instead, she was constantly on her guard for the moment when Jo would inevitably creep behind her and cryptically ask her how things were going. That was code for, "give me a report on your day, and it better reflect some seriously hard work on your part."
"Oh, I don't think I've ever worked harder," Pam responded.
