It had been a long day, and the sun was long gone. Jess was asleep under Nick's coat as he kept on driving, hopefully to a future the two of them could share. Nick smiled at the sleeping figure with one side of his mouth, just like he always does when he was pleased with himself. An incoming call caused him to pull over. There was no way he was taking it at the wheel and risk Jess' life.

"Hello?" Nick said, not recognising the number.
"Where the hell is my daughter, Miller?" Mr Day said with anger in his voice. Nick looked at Jess and replied with confidence, the confidence she had given him.

"She's with me" he said, "And she is safe"

"You bring her back here or I will not be responsible for my actions!" Mr Day yelled, and Nick could hear Schmidt try and intervene.

"Sorry sir, I am in love with your daughter and I think she loves me too. We will be back soon, I promise"
Nick could hear Mr Day shouting, but he was past caring. He put the phone down on him and started the car back up again. He was tired but filled with adrenaline, but he knew he couldn't go on forever. A hotel came in to view and Nick pulled in to the parking lot. It looked fancy and had a pool, so he knew Jess would like it.

"Jess..." he whispered softly, nudging her arm. She woke up and fluttered her long eyelashes sleepily.

"Where are we?" she asked, using her hands that were covered in bangles to lift herself up.
"A hotel, I thought we could both do with a rest" he said, smiling.

"Who are you and what have you done with Nick Miller?" Jess said, half-laughing. Nick got out of the car and ran to Jess's door to open it. They walked through the doors to the hotel and up to the desk, where a thin, stern looking man was waiting for something to happen at 11pm.

"How can I help you sir?" the man said, and Nick panicked. He was never called sir, or had to make decisions. Should he ask for one room or two single rooms? It was all so hard, but he couldn't let Jess know he was struggling with this.

"Yes, I would like one double room please" he said, confidence returning to his voice. Jess' eyebrows raised and she smiled a little at Nick's dominance.

"You're in luck, we have one left... It will be $90 for one night and an extra $90 for another" the thin man said, with the badge that said 'Bernie' as he tapped on the out of date computer in front of him. Jess glared at Nick. The normal Nick would never spend more than $10 on a hotel room. Who was this insane guy who suddenly had a huge wallet? Bernie the doorman handed them a key and said "Have a nice stay" and returned to the state he was in before they came in, sitting at the desk with one hand holding his chin up and the other drumming on the desk.

Nick and Jess walked the halls, trying to find 'room 32' Jess was wearing Nick's coat and Nick was hoping she'd reach for his hand. He was so happy, and he didn't want anything to spoil it. Jess reached out and hooked her pinkie finger with his. Nick pulled her hand and slotted her tiny fingers in between his, and it felt amazing. Soon, after ten minutes of walking and stairs, they found room 32. Nick put the key in the door and opened it, letting Jess walk inside before he did.

There was a huge double bed sitting in the middle of the room, in front of a wall covered in red and black wallpaper. The rest of the room was painted cream, and Nick thought it was way too fancy for him. Jess was already trailing her fingers over the cream chair opposite to the bed, smiling.

"This is amazing, Nick!" she said, mulling over the black dotted curtains with her hands, unhooking them and pulling them shut. She turned quickly and Nick was shuffling his feet, looking at the floor.

"Nick?" she said, and his head snapped back up.

"Yeah?" he asked.
"Are you ok?"
Jess moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his chest. He placed is hands on her back and pulled her even closer. His chin rested on her head.

"I'm fine, Jess. I just really don't deserve you" he said, kissing her. Jess smiled in to his chest and pulled him closer to the bed. She removed the contrasting red and grey pillows and pulled the duvet out.
"I've just thought, we've got no pyjamas!" Nick said, quite innocently. Jess.'s eyebrows disappeared under her bangs.

"Well then, you're just going to have to get in minus the clothes, Miller"

Nick smiled.

"I will if you do, Miss Day"
