"Nickkk..." Jess moaned very loud and audible.
"Jess, I love you." He whispered into her here, right before nibbling down on her earlobe.
With the combination of the water trickling down there backs and Jess' legs wrapped around Nick's waist it was easy for both of them to release...almost.
"Hey are you guys done in there yet? Some other people need to use that thing." Abby yelled walking into the bathroom.
Jess jumped down from Nick and rested her head on his chest while letting out a disgruntled sigh.
"Oh and by the way, mom called and wants a full explanation on why you let me miss my flight back to Portland." Abby said while turning on the water to brush her teeth, leaving Nick and Jess with freezing water.
"Agh! Cold, cold!" Nick let out his screams, while Jess just stood annoyed and unsatisfied.
"Oh, oh! Sorry! Or maybe not..." Abby turned on the water once more and the couple leapt out of the way, trying so hard to let the water go into a different path, away from themselves.
Jess reached behind Nick to turn off the water and then reached out to grab her towel, but Nick caught her arm and brought her back in for another kiss, pleading to make her stay.
Abby once again interrupted them, "Come on guys, can't stay in there forever."
Jess let out a frustrated almost growl, grabbed her towel and went straight out of the bathroom . She just wanted to be alone, but of course because of Abby she had to once again travel into Nick's room instead of her own. She felt like an intruder. Nick never got space or even sleep. But Jess also had nowhere else to go.
Nick quickly wrapped his waist in his towel and followed right after Jess to his room. "Jess, I'm sorry about..." Nick trailed off he actually didn't know what to be sorry for. "Actually, I'm not. You really can't be angry at me right now."
"Nick I'm not mad at you, I'm just...frustrated." Jess let out a long sigh, she was so fragile and her eyes started to have a tinge of red and water in them.
Nick went to the other side of her room, caressing his girlfriend's face with his palm and thumb starting to wipe away the clear, wet pain from her eyes. Now Nick actually was sorry, feeling like his annoyed tone was the reason those tears began to fall. "Jess..." He said planting a kiss on her forehead, "...listen Abby will be gone soon and everything around here will go back to normal."
"Will it?" Jess looked up into his eyes, "I mean I want her gone yesterday, everyone's starting to get annoyed with her, I have no place to go, I mean, it's just so...messy."
"Jess, what do you mean you have nowhere to go, nobody's like kicking you out."
"That's not what I mean Nick. I don't even have a room right now, and I just feel like I'm taking over all your space and Abby is taking over all of mine." Jess didn't realize how much her words hurt Nick. He liked having her in his room, he felt disappointed to know she hadn't felt the same. That she was actually the one in desperate need of space, he was planning on asking her to stay there with him when Abby left.
"Oh." That's all Nick could say. All his hopes were shattered. Jess could see in his eyes he looked disappointed and actually sad but didn't know why.
"Nick, did I...say something? Do something?" She was unsure of what just happened within him.
Nick shook his head, "No...no, everything's great. Just gonna go, um...do something." He said as he walked out of his own room, still clothed only by a towel around his waist. Now he actually needed, unwanted space.
"Nick, wait? What did I say?" She asked chasing after him.
"Jess, it's fine. Everything is fine." He said with a fake smile and trying his best reassuring, calming voice that Jess didn't buy at all.
"Seriously, can you just tell me what's wrong?!" Jess was almost screaming, she didn't have time to play this stupid back and forth game.
He let out a sigh, feeling defeated and was about to tell her all his secret plans when yet another roommate interrupted.
"Hey guys, wanna watch a game with me?" Coach asked not sensing the situation he continued, "You know, 'after' you both put on real clothes."
"Coach, were kind of in the middle of-" Jess began, but Nick soon silenced her.
"I'd love to." Nick said, quickly turning on his heel to get dressed.
He had forgotten that Jess also needed to clothe herself and a lot of her usual dresses, shirts, and jeans were in his room. Even quite a few pairs of flats made their way to his room. So sure enough, there she was.
"What the hell was that?" Jess yelled at him, while he faked a confused face. "We clearly aren't done talking."
"Jess it's nothing, I'll get over it." Nick said trying to reassure his now, far from pissed off girlfriend.
"But that's the point, Nick. What is there to get over?" Jess was still angry, but tried to remain calm, patient and most of all sincere. She really wanted to know what was on Nick's mind and figured yelling wouldn't help her much in getting there.
"It's stupid, it was just an idea I had." Nick finally looked at her eyes for the first time since they both walked into his room. "But clearly you aren't on the same page, so yeah I don't want to say because when I do I'll wanna take it back."
"How do you know?"
"How do I know what?" Nick wasn't faking it this time, he really was confused about her question. What was she talking about? He couldn't tell her, he didn't want to become disappointed by what she had to say back. Why was she almost giving himself hope? Didn't she know how easily it was for him to tell her everything? How he could never be dishonest, or keep anything from her.
"Nick, you have no idea what I'll say or how I'll respond." She was right, when he kissed her he wasn't expecting to be kissed back. When he came home after Jess seeing him with Shane, he wasn't expecting her confession or the intense make out session that soon followed. And everything else that was apart of their love story, he truly didn't think that was the way things would go. Their first night, their trip, when she said yes to 'doing it in the teacher's lounge', burning her finger to prove a point, how they had made it a month, how they still never let anything come between them, he could go on and on reflecting back on their endless and eternal love. Wait did he really just think that?
"You still there?" While Nick was stuck in memory lane, Jess had just watched him waiting for any kind of reply.
Dammit Miller! You have to stop thinking, don't think about it. "Jess I love you, everything about you, everything that makes you you. Your friends, our friends, your clothes, your clothes in my dressers and closet, your love, our love...your room...our room?"
Jess picked up on the questioning tone, "Are you asking me to move in with you, Miller?" She asked with a smile, Nick was just so cute.
"Well that depends do you want to?" He nervously smiled back.
Jess walked the short distance between them and placed a kiss on Nick's lips, letting her towel fall.
