If you have been following this story, I have added several chapters BEFORE the original that was previously posted. This follows Nick and Jess from the end of the "Virgins" episode, through to the end of the season (and maybe beyond). It DOES incorporate some spoilers throughout.

Jess slowly opened her eyes. She felt Nick's arm around her as she woke up with her head on his shoulder. She saw his hand resting on his stomach as his chest rose and fell evenly with each breath. She carefully entwined his fingers with hers, not wanting him to wake up.

Nick felt Jess take his hand and sigh as she nuzzled her face into his neck. He smiled and then kissed the top of her head. "Jessica..." he muttered into her hair.

Jess squeezed his hand and slowly flipped onto her stomach, her face inches from his. "Good morning".

He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a long, sweet kiss. She kissed his neck and then his chest and looked up him.

"Well Nick Miller, that was quite the impressive night". She gave him an awkward, yet sexy wink.

He smiled, "Normally I'm not one to brag, but well..." He gave her one of his looks and she slapped him on the chest.

He grabbed her to tickle her. They both started laughing as he flipped over, his head was hovering over hers. "I'm pretty sure that was the most amazing night of my life". They kissed and he melted into her.

They were snapped back to reality with a sharp knock on the door and Schmidt's all-too-familar yell.

"JESS!"

Jess pulled to the side, completely annoyed. "What is it SCHMIDT?!"

"Well, someone, MISS DAY, failed to alert the loft to a visit by HER FATHER?"

Jess froze and Nick shot up to seated position on the bed. Jess slowly sat up and looked at Nick as he silently mouthed "OH MY GOD".

Jess shrugged her shoulders and shook her head in disbelief. "Hey Schmidt...my dad is here RIGHT NOW?"

"Geez Jess, do you not listen to ANYTHING I say?"

Jess and Nick stared at one another as a second voice came from the hallway. one belonging to a Mr. Bob Day. "Jess?"

Jess and Nick both bolted out different sides of the bed at the same time. Jess pulled the sheet with her and fell backwards towards her door as Nick frantically wrapped the floral comforter around himself and ran for the closet. Jess combed through her hair and as calmly as possible said, "Hey dad. Um, just give me a minute to get dressed and I will be RIGHT OUT."

She could hear her dad's voice fade down the hall as he responded "No problem, take your time."

Jess leaned with her back against the door, closed her eyes and gave a huge sigh of relief. She walked over to the closet as Nick made his way out. They were careful to whisper as quietly as possible.

"Jess, did you know he was coming?"

Jess looked stunned, "Not at all. Last week he told me he wasn't coming to the wedding."

"Well clearly, " Nick motioned towards the door, "he changed his mind".

"Gee, you think?!"

They locked eyes for a moment, and their irritation slowly faded.

Nick laughed nervously, "at least he didn't open the door".

Jess' eyes grew wide. "Seriously, do you have any idea what he would do if he caught you in here right now?

Nick had tried to play the entire situation cool up to this point, but now Jess was making him nervous.

'Nick, you have no idea how angry he got when some boy tried to KISS ME. You need to LAY LOW."

Nick grabbed her shoulders and shook them. "are you serious right now, Jess? You are freakin' me out!"

Jess dropped the sheet on the floor. "ok, here's what we do..."

Nick tried to listen to her, but his jaw dropped as he stared at her completely naked in front of him.

Jess snapped her fingers in front of his face "NICK!"

Nick shook his head and slapped his hands against his cheeks twice. "right, ok." He paused and then motioned with his hand, "ok, Jess. If you're going to have a conversation with me right now on how to convince your father that we are NOT sleeping together, you're going to have to stop doing it NAKED, because" he pointed to crotch, "the prize hog down there is going to be pretty obvious." He raised his eyebrows. "REALLY OBVIOUS." He winked twice.

"Oh my God, Nick" She grabbed him by his shoulders, spun him around, and shoved him out of the closet. "get dressed Miller"

Jess quickly pulled a blue dress off a hanger as Nick collected his thrown off clothes from the night before. She quickly combed her fingers through her hair to look somewhat presentable and exited the closet. Nick was finishing up and putting his shirt on.

He threw up his hands. "Seriously, Jessica?!"

Jess looked at him surprised, "what?"

He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "how do you STILL look so incredibly amazing".

Jess smiled and melted into his arms. She took his face in her hands and started kissing him. He spun her around and started walking them towards the bed.

Jess stopped and pushed him away on his chest, "NO!" She paused for a moment, before shaking her head and repeating, "NO."

Jess walked over to the door. She put her hand on the doorknob and right before she opened it, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and looked back at Nick. "You tell that prize hog I want to see him back here later".

And with that, she disappeared in a bright blue blur out of the room and closed the door behind her.

Nick sat down on the bed and threw himself backwards, his arms crossing over his head. "God damn it, Jessica you are driving me CRAZY!"
