This story will be about Nick's perspective in certain episodes, mainly his thoughts about Jess. I was going to start with 2x14 (Pepperwood), but 2x3 (Fluffer) is one of my favorites and also a super essential episode for Nick/Jess shippers. So I'll be starting with Fluffer which will also refer back to episodes from before that, even in season 1. Hope you enjoy and thanks for the reviews ahead of time! Oh, and I know other people have done Nick's mind stories before but hopefully this one is different than the others. If I've accidentally copied someone's ideas, it wasn't intentional in the least bit. Also, I don't own New Girl or any of these awesome characters.
I'm the boyfriend without the rewards. Winston couldn't be more right. But how can I possibly take a step back from Jess? All I want to do is take a step forward. But I made a promise I'd never do that because she's my roommate. Taking a step forward would make things awkward. And Jess would never want to be anything more than my friend anyway. But, if I'm just going to be her friend, I'm going to be the best damn friend she's ever had. So screw Winston, I'm going to build her that dresser.
Sam is over here again. What does she seriously see in that guy other than the fact that maybe, if you were a female, you'd consider him hot? For being a doctor he's pretty dense. I might be a little more okay with her being with someone else besides me if the guy was actually worth a crap. As weird as Paul was, at least he seemed like a decent guy that actually cared about her feelings and had stuff in common with her. Russell was pretty great too even though he was a lot older. If she can't be with me, I just want her to end up with someone that takes care of her, loves and respects her feelings, and makes her happy.
I denied having any kind of feelings toward her and kind of joked it off earlier because I don't want her to know how I feel. But later, I told her we're friends who are sometimes attracted to each other. I don't know why I said that but it sounded a lot better to me. She just doesn't know that I'm ALWAYS attracted to her. Some days it's really hard for me to deal with it. Whenever I'm close to her, I can smell her hair and wish I could just bury my nose in it. She's always wearing skirts-I've never known another girl to wear skirts as much as Jess does. And whenever she wears heels with them, I can only imagine just the heels; nothing else. Last night was pure torture with that hot little number she was wearing. I didn't even try to control my comments. No sane guy would be able to. All I could think about was wishing I could be the one to pull that dress off of her later instead of the doctor.
Jess is my world. She's the reason why I changed my mind about Caroline. Jess wanted me to be happy. And I realized just how lonely I would be waking up in an apartment that Jess wouldn't be in anymore. And even though I acted like a complete jerk, she was there for me when I got injured and had my cancer scare. She might accuse me of being grumpy and unpleasant but I used to be so much worse before she came into my life.
I'll never forget when I first met her. She looked so cute in her dress. She was so weird though, but in a good way. I had never met anyone like her before. I put on my tough-guy façade though because there's no way I could have let Coach and Schmidt find out that I liked this girl. If they had known, Schmidt would have never allowed her to move in.
Shortly after she moved in, she walked in on me completely naked, dancing in front of the mirror. But that hadn't been the bad part. The sound of her laughing resembled nails on a chalkboard or something equally annoying in my mind. I could never be a porn star but I'm definitely not a disappointment. Little did I know, she was just uncomfortable with male genitilia in general and laughing was her way of covering it. I have to say, that made me feel much better. What didn't make me better was seeing her naked. Before that incident I used to secretly hope maybe she was actually ugly, had three breasts, or something else abnormal just so the thought of her naked wasn't so agonizing for me. But of course that wasn't the case. She was actually the hottest woman I had ever seen naked before. Everything about her is perfect.
