Chapter 2
She was really jumpy that day. When the last bell rang at 3 she gathered her stuff and went home. She drove around town for an hour and a half. She walked into the loft not expecting anyone but Nick was there and said "Hey Jess." She jumped at the sound of his voice and dropped her stuff. Nick walked over to help her pick it all up.
"Really Jess?"
"Sorry Nick, just feel a little jumpy."
"Really I couldn't tell." Nick said sarcastically. As he helped her pick up her stuff they both reached for the same bag of pipe cleaners and their hands touched. Jess felt butterflies in her stomach, so did Nick. They looked at each other with at first a shocked face as they rose up the shocked face turned into a smile. Jess said "Well, Im just going to uh to my room and put this stuff up and I'll start cooking dinner." Nick looked into her big blue eyes and was speechless then all he could get out was "Yeah, uh yeah." Jess walked to her room and closed her door, dropped everything but the pipe cleaners, she put them next to her heart and slid down her door until she hit the floor and all she could say was, "WOW!" and smiled. Nick sat on the couch and did the same.
