Think
Just a story of how I imagine the beginning of next season... This idea won't leave my head, but I really don't expect it'll happen like this. Based off something I read on tumblr saying that the writers don't know if they're starting season 3 from straight after everything at the wedding or whether they're going to have the time shift of a few months. Sorry if I don't get my American terms right, it's just that I'm from the UK so you notice anything I'm getting wrong, please let me know so I can change it. Also, this hasn't been proof read, so sorry if you notice any mistakes. Enjoy!
"No, Nick, just turn left!"
"No! It's slower my way!" He blurted out, regretting it as soon as it happened. He knew she was going to ask him something. Little miss know-it-all. His little know-it-all. Wow. He was never going to get used to that.
"Why would you want to go slower?" See. He totally called it.
In other news, he was overwhelmed - I mean, she chose to be with someone like HIM? Surely something wasn't right there, but who was he to question it. But, he was also incredibly over the freaking moon, and ecstatic that they actually UNcalled it. Jessica. Day. And. Nicholas. Miller. Together. Holy. Shit. But what the hell was he supposed to answer to that? Nick Miller. The guy who can't talk about his feelings... But I suppose there's always a time to start.
"Well, um… It's because you're here with me, okay, Jessica?! And... I never want that to change and if I keep driving, nothing can get in our way. Not our roommates, not your Dad. No-one. Just you and me. Together. You're the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and my life hasn't been the same since I met you and I don't want this moment to be ended by one of that lot."
And with that, silence fell between the two inside the car. The only noise being the sound of the engine, and the song playing on the radio. Jess looked over at him, a small smile appearing on her face.
Jess, completely stunned by his declaration, cleared her throat gently. "That doesn't seem so bad to me, Miller." And with that, she reached over and placed her hand upon his, which was rested on the gear stick.
Shivers ran down his spine. Such a simple gesture – placing a hand on someone else's. How could something so simple make him feel so amazing?
It said everything that it ever could.
Rotating his hand underneath hers, he linked his fingers with hers never wanting to let go…
So he kept driving. He didn't plan to stop until he had to.
Where did they come from? Somewhere that started this amazing journey, but somewhere that both of them needed to avoid right now all because of the risks for them that were held there right now. But this… This was nice. Where were they going? They had no idea, so they just kept driving…
"I don't think the whole 'let's keep driving' thing really works if you're running low on gas. Just take note for the future, Miller." Jess smirked, leaning again the car while he filled up the tank.
"Hey, just watch it, Day! I would have filled up earlier if I'd have known this was going to happen tonight. I blame you, Jess. Saying that you want me and everything, it makes me forget everything else in the world, so I really think this little problem should be blamed on you." Now he was stood directly in front of her, tank now filled. One hand was leant against the car beside her head.
Leaning down, his lips made light contact with hers. Slowly, he backed her towards the car, other hand sneaking round her waist.
Pulling away abruptly, she whispered to him. "Hey, Miller, I'm all for your amazing kisses and everything but it's probably not best here, at the gas station… I, erm… They make me feel… twirly." Her face turning a light shade of red, forcing her eyes away from his just hearing him chuckle deeply at her embarrassment. "I'm going to go and pay for the gas. Do you want anything?"
Watching as she walked away after his reply, he laughed to himself, a smile appearing on his face. This isn't gonna end well, is it Nick?
5 MONTHS LATER:
"I think I'm in love with her."
As Nick looked up, he met the stares of Schmidt and Winston, who sat across the dining room table from him. He placed his head in his hands, and rubbed his eyes with his palms.
"I mean... I guess I always have but as a friend, you know? And I've always liked her like that but this is just too soon, isn't it? I can't love her. I can't. We've only been together for 5 months. And no... I can't do this. I can't tell her this, she'll freak out and leave. I mean, it happened with her and Paul. I can't live without her, she's too important to me. I... love her."
"Okay, Nick, first of all: Please stop rambling. You're making my ears need to go to a detox clinic. Secondly: What was it that you said to Winston after kissing her? And before you slept with her?" Schmidt said, tilting his head down as if he was looking over a pair of glasses.
"About not thinking..." Nick muttered under his breath, not knowing where Schmidt was going with this.
"How do you even remember all this crap?" Winston said, butting into the conversation.
"Nicholas, being the only person who knows for sure that they were in love, with my dear Cecilia, and the way I knew that is: I was happy. I wasn't thinking. And tell me this, Nick, are you happy?"
"Well... Yeah. Jess is the best woman I've ever met and she makes me life so much better... And when I'm with her, my life just feels like it's all coming together."
"I'm sorry to break to you what you already knew:" Schmidt stood up from where he was sat, walking round and patting Nick on the back. "You're in love, buddy."
"Oh, shit. Do I tell her or what? I can't do this by myself. I need your help, guys!" Nick said, looking between Schmidt and Winston. "WHAT DO I DO?"
"Look, dude, calm down. I think you should tell her. Have you seen the way she looks at you? And I mean, she was the one who asked YOU to uncall it..." Winston said calmly.
"...She obviously likes you, for some strange reason which I keep meaning to ask her..." Schmidt interrupts, receiving an eye roll from Nick.
"Basically, you should tell her."
"I'm gonna tell her. Yup. I'm gonna tell her. Hell yeah! I'm in love!" Nick smiled, high-fiving Schmidt and Winston before leaving the kitchen, and slamming the loft door as he ran to find Jess.
"YOU TELL HER, BRO!" Schmidt shouted, fist pumping in the air.
"...You realise he's not even in the loft any more Schmidt, what's the point in shouting, man?"
"I was just showing my support. Don't be such a downer!"
