The night of the episode "Virgins" after the five had shared 5 bottles of wine and a lot of laughs, the mood was changing. Cece had left first to be with Shavrung. Winston had passed out and Nick was currently bringing him to his room. In his room, Shmidt had started sifting through his red folder because frankly after talking about sex all night, a guy had to do what a guy had to do and Jess was sitting thinking about all their conversations while she finished her rose. Nick entered back into the room
"Winston is not going to remember anything from tonight" he chuckled. "You still drinking?"
"Yeah i mean i don't want it to go to waist" she replied
"I hear that, let me help" he smirked while he sat and poured himself the remainder of the wine.
"Im just thinking" she did not really mean for it to come out, but with all the wine she had things were starting to slip
"about what?" he inquired
"Well..." she shuffled he legs up to the side of her body and looked at him. " there's this guy at school and i think he likes me"
"Oh?"
"I think i need like a guys opinion on what to do because this guys a do-sie"
"ok, well what makes you think he likes you?" he pondered
"Well i know he thinks i'm hot! but
"Hot or beautiful Jess cuz in a guys mind they are two different things" he interrupted
"really...like what do you mean?"
Well if a guy tells you you are hot then it probably means he wants to turn you over and
"okay i get that!" she exclaimed wide eyed and hand up
"Well and if a guy tells you you are beautiful then hes probably going to take you home to his ma and...and marry ya" Nick starts to realize he never did tell her how he thought she was the most beautiful woman hes ever seen, and her face reflected that.
"oh" her eyes wondered down to her glass, and she took a drink " he did kiss me once, but i don't really know how he felt about it"
"Well a guys not going to kiss a girl if he doesn't like her Jess" They shared an intimate glance. he looked at her as if he was trying to tell her something and she stared back trying to understand it.
"I'm so confused" she sounded a little sad as if her heart had been weighing heavy about this. She stares off "This guy is always there when i need him, and he always knows what to say to make me feel better when I'm down, i don't want to screw up what i have with him"
"I don't know Jess this guy sounds like an idiot" he shakes his head, a real clown and finished his wine with one gulp.
She starts to realize nick is struggling with this and she pushes him a little further. "What do i do Nick, help me, do i wait for him to tell me how he feels or do you think i should just tell him?" She looked up at him with her big eyes and pouty lips. It was killing him to not just take her whenever he wanted.
"Jess, i don't know why he cant tell you how he feels" he turns away, starting to get irritated with himself "or even ask you on a date properly
"Wait.. i didn't tell you about a date" they looked at each other as if they knew what each other was implying but still pretended that this all wasn't about him " or not date" she trailed on while a side smile appeared on her face.
Looking straight into her eyes he conjured up some courage "Jessica, you are so beautiful" knowing the implication of his words, the moment became to intense for him and he peered down to give himself some relief. "this guys a mess"
shaking her head "Hes not a mess" she said in a soft voice reassuring him
"Hes a mess", he nodded strongly disagreeing with her
"A beautiful mess? They stared at each other so intently. Their hearts were pounding so hard speech was impossible. Nick watched her, and wondered how had he gotten so lucky to have her in his life.. and she wondered if she'd ever really know him. If this feeling they had for each other would ignite and move past room friends.
all of a sudden Schmidt stumbled out of his room "you guys are still up? wait... are you?
they bolted up from where they were sitting " night Schmidt" Jess yelled and started walking towards her room
"what are you doing" nick asked angrily
"I'm hydrating, you know cuz i just
"ok Schmidt goodnight" and nick continued to his room. It was too late to listen to Schmidts sex antics.
Nick and Jess stood holding their door handles while looking at each other over their shoulders
"so ill just wait then" she told him
"yeah" he put his other hand through his hair "hes gotta come around eventually" and shot his arm up and then down
"eventually" she proclaimed moving her head towards him
he gave her an unsure look and tilted his head to the side and moved the side of his hand up and down. He uncomfortably swallowed and wished he could give her more.
" ok miller, i trust you" and with that she entered her room
Her words were like a dagger to his heart,because he'd have to live up to her expectation of him. She trusts me to do the right thing, and be a man he told himself and shoved himself into his room and on to his bed. He so wanted to call her a fool, but she was right it was only a matter of time...
