Weird Nerdy Sex

"I'm sorry you missed your flight Nick." Jess spoke sitting on her bead as he leaned against her door frame.
"It's okay. It's like a holiday tradition." He laughed at his stupidity. "Don't feel sorry for me right now. We all should be trying to comfort you, especially me." He looked down at the floor remembering the past night when he was stuck outside with Paul and Jess as they broke up.
"Oh, it's not entirely your fault that we broke up. I guess it was bound to happen and better get it out of the way before it got serious."
"I think it already was serious Jess," Nick said. "He bought you plane tickets and said I love you."
"Huh." Jess replied spacing out as she lingered on his final words letting the sound of them echo through her mind on a continuous loop.
Nick sighed. "So what did you get him again?"
Jess tilted her head and rolled her eyes. She knew he already knew, but for some reason it made him chuckle every single time. "I got him a heart. A 50 year old man with no smoking heart."
"Of course you did Jess." His smile curved almost as much as his turtle face. "So what did you end up doing with the other gift?"
"Wha- oh, that one." She grinned, her cheeks getting red. "I still have it. Saving it for someone."
"Is that just a vague someone of the future or do you already have someone picked out?" Nick asked half sarcastically.
"I don't know." Jess said partly in song. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason." Nick lied.
There was awkward silence for the longest time as Nick stood there unsure if this was his exit or not. "So what is weird nerdy sex?" Nick finally ventured breaking the silence.
Jess blushed again. Since when did she blush this much? "It's hard to explain..."
"Okay. I see. Don't tell me."
"I can't like explain it," Jess stammered. "I'd have to like, show it."
Nick stood frozen. Was she going to 'show it'?
Jess stood up and brushed past Nick at the door as she made her way to the kitchen leaving Nick alone. He wondered how stupid he had looked just standing there and mentally necked himself. "Hmm." He said out loud, but only audible to him. Walking over to her side table, he opened a couple drawers before sticking his hand in one and retrieving her little green Christmas gift. It didn't occur to him that she might notice it was gone, only that it would make him smile for the time being and maybe, possibly, come to use later down the road.
