I SAW THE CHECKED SHIRT PICTURE AND FREAKED OUT. Because well, not only is she in his shirt but HE ALWAYS WEARS A WHITE SHIRT AFTER SEX! seriously look into it, Caroline, Amelia, its all there. So I calmly included that detail in this chapter, because I am very VERY calm and not at all freaking out. Okay, so I may be super dooooper excited. Lets do this!

Chapter 7: It's All Out

It had been two weeks since he and Jess had first slept together. One week had passed since the night of the basketball game. And one whole week since he and Jess agreed to try harder to NOT touch at all.

It was figuratively killing him. He was excited to see Schmidt was with Elizabeth and Winston was once again with daisy. The only problem was that with Cece's wedding drawing close, Jess constantly excused herself to help her friend.

"Just go already Jess you know you want to!" Cece moaned, hearing

Jess go over the same thoughts Nick had.

"No no no! I'm here for you! Beside every time we... It just. Gets complicated!" Jess sighed, knowing that all of what Cece had been saying had been right, but not wanting to believe it.

" they both said they would be gone for the next day didn't they? Schmidt wanted the girls to meet? Really introduce that Elizabeth into the group." Cece looked upset, and her eyes met Jess' "is she prettier than me?" Cece asked, knowing the answer but wanting to hear it herself. It still hurt her to think about Schmidt, but he wasn't ready for what she wanted.

"Of course not Cece, but don't worry about her! Focus on you now" Jess smiled weakly.

"Right but you need to get your butt out of my apartment and grab yourself a Nick Miller!"

Nick was in the kitchen, drinking a beer when the door started to open, he was wearing a checked shirt, almost fully buttoned, and then Jess walked in. They stared into each others eyes, until Jess slowly took off her cardigan. Nick stared at her in awe but when she turned away, she started to slip her dress off in the corridor, and headed into Nick's room. He had never seen we act so sexily, and he couldn't help but think how lucky he was, as he chased after her and slammed his door behind them.

After a week of celibacy, both of them only focused on one another. So much so they didn't hear the front door open, one of their roommates enter, grab Jess' clothes and hang them up in the living room.

Somebody knew.

The morning came to the loft as did a disgruntled roommate, during their most passionate sex EVER. He was pissed off to say the least. The noises echoed in the apartment and he couldn't help but feel hurt that Nick hasn't told him. Especially because he didn't want him to mess up what they had.

"What are we doing Nick?" Jess asked widening her eyes. Both of them lay on their sides, mirroring each others position, one hand holding the weight of their head, the other hand tracing along the body of their roommate. Nick had Jess' hair between his fingers while Jess gently poked his chest, making patterns against his bare torso.

" I don't know Jess. No touching is not working for me though" he smirked. She loved how he smiled, it always made her smile back. Both her hands reached for his neck while she replied " yeah me too" and as she laced her hands through his hair she pulled him closer and kissed him.

The moment became intense quickly, and as the pair tried to make up for the time lost in the pass week, their worst nightmare came true. There was a knock at the door. A fast and angry knock. They instantly separated, eyes wide and confused.

"What!?" Jess hissed, pulling the sheets up to her chest, grabbing her glasses from the bedside table. Nick looked just as shocked "we have to go out there Jess"

"Or we could lock the door and tell them later?" She said with a smile, recalling the incident in the bathroom before the game.

"Don't do this to me Jess. I'm a man. You can't just offer..." Before he could finish she kissed him again, and he held her close, chest against chest. Then another knock at the door came, the perpetrator clearly unimpressed at being ignored.

"Dammit!" Nick said pulling away and getting out of bed, knowing he couldn't resist being next to a naked Jess.

"Who do you think it is? Do they know I'm here?" Jess whispered, hoping her existence was unknown.

"I hope it's Winston. You do realise if it's Schmidt we probably will be separated and he will make one of us change rooms, he gets touchy about this sort of stuff" Nick replied, pulling his white t-shirt on, and his boxers from last night.

Jess looked around "where is my dress Nick?" She asked puzzled.

Nick covered his face with his hands "you dropped it in the hall! Oh God we're in trouble. Here wear this" he threw her his shirt from last night. She put her underwear back on and covered herself in Nick's shirt. It was warm and smelt just like her roommate. It was a comfort to her, and even though she was about to be in A LOT of trouble, she felt safe. They looked to each other, and Nick moved towards the door. He headed out and gestured to Jess to follow, who did. The stopped in the space between the kitchen, living room and doorway, as the spotted Jess' dress in the living room.

Nick glanced at Jess. She returned his Gaze and they looked to see if Schmidt's door was open.

"We'll well well" Nick turned his head to where Jess was looking. Nick opened his mouth to speak, putting his hand out to calm the situation. Jess simply pulled her lips thin into something that wasn't a smile, but a face that someone would pull when they were in trouble.

That they were.

"Look, this wasn't meant to happen" Nick began, but the third roommate did not look in the mood to listen.

"What the actual hell man?! One thing. One thing someone tell you to do. And you can't do it Nick! And come on Jess! You are pretty and smart and always happy, what are you doing with Nick?! No offence Nick but you are like goth at Disneyland. Like a dog in a muzzle at the park. You are miserable! How did this... Why would you guys even?!"

"That's enough! Look this happened its done we don't know what's even going on ourselves but please please don't tell..." Jess began, but was cut off by another angry outburst.

"Oh and why can't I tell anyone? I bet Cece knows! Why didn't you tell me Nick? We have been best friends forever!"

"I know I'm sorry Winston"

"I'm going to bed, sort this, preferably stop this, cause it is going to blow up in your faces" Winston left, and Nick and Jess shared a look between themselves.

Before they even spoke, Winston reappeared, and stood between them.

"Both if you go sit in Schmidt's room and you're not coming out until this is sorted."

"Why Schmidt's room?" Nick protested, his turtle face making an appearance.

"Because you two won't have sex in there" Winston scowled.

"He's got a point Nick. I wouldn't be naked in there if you paid me" Jess laughed.

"What about when you tried to have SEX WITH HIM!?" Nick shouted at her laughing as he did.

"YOU TRIED TO SLEEP WITH SCHMIDT?!" Winston looked disgusted.

"We aren't talking about this right now, are we? I didn't sleep with Schmidt!"

"Well you slept with Nick so go into that room and sort it out Jess. And may I add that I probably wouldn't have turned you down if you came knocking.."

"WINSTON! She's not like that, Jar!" Nick looked very angry, making it clear to Winston that this wasn't a mistake, Nick liked Jess, a lot.

"In there now, just get it out man" Winston directed his speech at Nick, who sighed nodded, and made his way to Schmidt's room. Jess went to follow but Winston stopped her. "I know what he is like Jess, just hold on" Winston smiled at a confused Jess, and wet to bed.

She walked and stopped outside Schmidt's room and hesitated. She was scared as to what might happen when she went through the door.

The handle turned and she entered.
