Chapter 8: Old Habits
Nick grunted as he put the last box one the floor. He stood up and arched his back in an attempt to stretch out his muscles. Jess came skipping into the decent two bedroom apartment that was now their new residence. It was nothing fancy but that's why they liked it. It was simple just like them.
"So everything is here now." Nick said turning toward Jess. She sauntered over to him, glad that she had left Nick, their son with Schmidt and Cece. Cece had taken a liking to the name early on because she liked to call him Nick Jr. like the channel on TV. Seemed suitable since he was a baby. Schmidt had said that it wasn't original and he wasn't wrong. Jess sucked at making boy names when she found out she was pregnant she already had a long list of girl names. So when she was hit with the surprise of the baby being a boy she had a complete brain fart and so did Nick so this seemed like the best solution.
Jess was surprised to see how good Cece and Schmidt were with the baby. Cece never really liked kids but she adored Nick Jr, plus she was happy about the fact that she could always give him back to Jess or Nick if she got bored with him. She was glad that they loved the baby because that gave her time to be alone with Nick which was the only thought on her mind as she wrapped her arms around his waist and stood on her toes to kiss the back of his neck. A shiver went through Nick's spine as he felt her lips against his skin. he turned around and instantly put his lips against hers. It had been months since they had time to do this without rushing. They took their time as their met in the most graceful of ways nor rushed and fumbling around as they had been before. Time was not of the essence as he ran his hands up and down her back and she tangled her lithe fingers in his hair.
A moan escaped her as his lips moved down to her neck and sucked lightly on the skin below her ear.
"That feels good."
Nick smiled against her skin and continued with his movements. She pushed him down aggressively and he thought he was about to hit the hardwood floor but instead encountered the mattress that laid on the floor. Jess kneeled down and straddled his hips. She could feel him hardening against her middle. She leaned down and bit him on the neck hard he responded with a deep grunt.
"So rough?" Jess responded by nipping his earlobe.
He loved when she was like this not only was it pleasurable but it was fun. But if this was how it was going to be then he wanted to be in control. He flipped them over and pinned her wrist above her head. He lifted her dress up until it was right below her breast. He let go of her hands and begin to playfully bite his way down her stomach until he reached the waistline of her underwear. He grabbed it with his teeth and dragged them down her body until they laid on the floor beside them.
She spread her legs in anticipation as his face hovered above her waiting warmth. Her body quivered as his tongue made contact with her nub. He made small circles around it causing her breathing to become ragged until it turned into loud moans. Her hips bucked against his mouth as he continued to taste her nectar. He inserted a finger inside her and pumped in and out until she came all over them.
He brought his fingers to his mouth and licked the juices off of them. This made Jess heat up even more than she had been before. She noticed all the fabric that still clung to his body and was suddenly angry at it. She began to practically rip his clothes away from his body. She arched her back toward him as he roughly entered her no longer taking his time as he thrust in and out of her.
Jess became unwound underneath him moaning uncontrollably, his name falling from her lips repeatedly. She pushed him back against the mattress and straddled him again taking off the dress that was begin to feel like an unwanted restraint. Nick's instantly went to her breast as they bounced in front of him. He was still fascinated by how they had increased in size. She arched her back and moaned his name one last time as her orgasm shook through her body almost causing her to go dizzy. She collapsed on Nick's chest as he released himself inside her.
Their bodies were coated in sweat as they tried to calm their breathing.
"That was intense." Jess said breathlessly rolling off Nick and curling into his side.
"Yeah, it was."
Jess looked up at him for a while until he sat up. He looked down at her with an intensity that made her want to squirm.
"What?"
"Jess there's something I want ask you."
"Um okay."
Nick got up and went to find the pants that Jess had thrown somewhere across the room. He found them and looked in the pocket and pulled out the little black velvet box that his mother gave him. He remembered what she had to him after meeting Jess for the first time. It was awkward that the first time that they met Jess was seven months pregnant and could barely stand up by herself. But despite the circumstances his mother loved her.
"Nicholas, I like this girl." His mother said while Jess was in the bathroom. "She's good for you. You know you've always been kind of sad and droopy but she's so perky and happy. She'll make you happy. Much better than that whore Caroline. You know, I wish I had to talk to her she was just a – "
"Mom I get it."
"I'm serious honey, don't let this girl go. As a matter of fact take this." She took off her wedding ring and handed it to him. "She's a good one honey so you better hold on to her or I'll beat you myself.
Nick looked at the small ring between his fingers and he instantly put it in his pocket when he heard Jess coming out the bathroom. He sat there and thought about what his mother had said while Jess and Mrs. Miller looked at the photo album that she had brought with her.
"Now here he is in the bathtub and you see he's grabbing his little thingy. He's been obsessed with it since he was born."
"He still is." Jess said without thinking.
"Really? Well once that grandkid of mine is out maybe you could help him with that." Mrs. Miller said giving a little wink. Her and Jess laughed hysterically and Nick thought it was a good time for him to take his mom to the airport.
That was five months ago and now he knew for sure that he wanted Jess to be with him for a very long time. he just hoped that she would say yes.
"Nick. What are you doing?"
Her voice made him jumped and he turned around to see her eyes instantly move to the little black box. Her eyes grew with excitement and then Nick was on the floor with Jess laying on top of him.
"Yes. Yes. Yes." She said before nick could even pop the question. She snatched the box out of his hand and looked at the ring like a kid seeing candy for the first time. She handed it to him and held out her hand for him to slip the ring on. A perfect fit.
He tried to sit up in an attempt to kiss her but his back made a horrible cracking sound.
"Are you okay?"
"No. Didn't we have a long talk about you tackling me? Jess you can't just do that."
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Back at the loft…
"So he asked you to marry him?" Cece asked as she examined the ring.
"Well I didn't really give him the chance to but pretty much."
"Oh you tackled him first?"
"Yeah."
Cece looked down at little Nick Jr, "Your mommy seems to have a problem with tackling your daddy."
He just smiled up at them.
"This kid is so cute. He must get it from you. I mean Nick is handsome at times but in a more scrunched up face type way."
"Hey that's my fiancé you're talking about."
"I'm just saying."
"Well my baby is going to be cute no matter which one of us he looks."
"I just can't believe all this happening Jess. You're engaged, and moving in with Nick, me and Schmidt have lasted this long and Winston and Shelby. It's just so awesome. It's like we're all growing up."
"Yeah I know."
"So we have to start talking about this wedding."
