Ok guys, here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy! I'm so sorry for the wait, just trying to crank out chapters while finishing school. Again, thank you MayaLala for all your help! Critique is encouraged :) Oh and I don't own New Girl or any of it's characters, just using them.
Whhrrrrrr! The sound of the blender woke Jess up with a start. She groaned loudly, but then suddenly smiled as Nick walked in the door carrying a tray of Jess' favorite foods. The tray was adorned with apple pie, a strawberry banana smoothie, and of course, Nick's specialty, runny eggs (Jess had become accustomed to the idea that Nick would never learn how to properly cook eggs, plus it was the thought that counted anyway).
"Hey Jess", Nick said as he sat down next to a still sleepy Jess. She scooted into a sitting position and frowned.
"What time is it?" She asked as she rubbed her temple, the beginnings of a headache starting to show."Well, it's pretty late, or else I wouldn't have made a smoothie for you." Nick replied as he put the tray on her lap. Jess looked at the clock on her bed stand and gasped as she realized that Nick hadn't been exaggerating, it was 11:30. "But I thought maybe this was the best way to wake you up", he said with a sly grin on his face.
"So Miller, you think that waking me up with the prospects of food was the best way?" Jess leaned over the food on her lap and kissed him, the kiss deepening as Nick leaned farther over the food. "Whoa there partner!" Jess said, breaking the kiss. "Not this early!" She exclaimed but blushed when she realized her mistake. Nick stroked her face and kissed her forehead. "Sorry Nick, my head is just pounding. I need to get some food into this belly 'o mine!" She exclaimed, the last part with a southern drawl.
Nick rolled his eyes, smiled, and started eating off of Jess' plate. "That's ok darlin'" Nick said, matching her accent, humor in his eyes. He grabbed a fork off of the plate, cut off a small piece and started feeding her, before she could protest about the fact that it was HER food, not his. Jess looked annoyed, but he knew that she secretly loved it when he fed her, her pretty blue eyes brightening with every bite.
"Mmm, Miller, that's good pie..." she said slowly her eyes staring at his mouth. She grabbed the fork from his hand, scooped up a large piece of pie, and before he could protest, shoved it in his mouth.
Nick's chocolate brown eyes widened as Jess leaned over and started kissing him, hard. Apple pie still in both their mouths, their tongues fought for dominance as the kiss got deeper. The taste of the pie and the heat of the moment was too much for Nick, and Jess moaned as Nick pulled her closer. Suddenly Nick stopped, leaning his forehead against hers and whispered, " Jess...". She looked down and saw why Nick had stopped. They had gotten so wrapped up in the moment that they had forgotten about the food, which was now all on Jess' shirt instead of the plate.
"Whoops..." Jess said sadly, starting to unbutton her stained pajama shirt. Nick raised his eyebrows but shrugged it off, grabbed the tray and put it on the floor. Luckily none of the breakfast disaster had gotten on the sheets, so Jess slid out, slowly walked over to her dresser and pulled off her pajama pants putting on some tight jeans and a t-shirt.
"Jess, are you ok?" Nick looked at her concerned. " I mean one minute you're tired and have a headache and the next minute you can't get enough of me." Jess sighed as she sat down on the floor next to Nick and started picking at the now-smushed food.
"No Nick, I'm fine really it's just PMS." She said nonchalantly, shoving cold eggs into her mouth.
"Ok, well, I've got to get to work Jess, and I won't be back until 10, are you sure you'll be ok?" Nick kissed Jess' cheek, grabbed her hand, and stood up, pulling her with him. She responded by pecking him on the lips and smiling. Nick grabbed Jess and hugged her kissing the top of her forehead and hugging her tighter.
"I'll miss you." Jess' voice was muffled my Nick's flannel, the smell of old spice drifting up her nose. She kissed him longingly one last time, picked up the tray off the floor and walked to the kitchen, her thoughts only of him. Nick sighed as he watched her walk away, and noticed that she didn't seem to have that hop in her step that he knew her so well for. Had he done something wrong? Had Nick Miller screwed up again? Nick grabbed his keys angrily and hurried out of the loft almost slamming the door until he remembered that Jess had a headache. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her more.
