Ugh I'm so sorry! It's been over a month since I've updated. You can thank The Landlord for this update because after seeing that episode, I just needed more Nick/Jess. So, since there are very few fanfictions on here, I decided to continue. Enjoy!
For a minute or two, all that could be heard in the room were screams. First Winston, whose scream obviously awoke Nick and Jess, who in turn began screaming themselves. A moment later, they were joined by Schmidt and Cece. "What's going on?" Schmidt screamed, a bat in his hand just in case.
"Holy shit, what's on your finger?" Cece screamed, walking over to Jess and picking up her left hand.
"I don't know!" She screamed in her girlish voice. "What happened, Nick?"
"I don't know!" He screamed back, not seeming to be able to take his eyes off of the rock on Jess' finger.
Schmidt stood at the door, bat still in his hand, expect now he held it limply near the ground, obviously shocked. Cece was making her way over to the door, one hand grabbing a mouth-half-open Winston, the other grabbing Schmidt. "Come on guys, we'll find out later." She said plainly. If they weren't so caught up in trying to remember last night, both Nick and Jess would've wondered why Cece was being so nonchalant about this. It's almost as if she saw it coming.
After dragging them out, she closed the door behind her. "No no no no no." Jess whispered to herself as she placed her head in her hands.
"Alright, that doesn't hurt." Nick stated, not caring if Jess heard him or not. In fact, if he was being honest, he wanted her to hear it. If she did, though, she didn't let him notice. She just kept repeating 'No no no no.' "Jess, we need to talk about this." He peeled one of her hands away from her face, forcing her to look at him.
"What happened last night, Nick?" He shook his head, as if to say that he had no idea. That he was just as in the dark as she was. Except that he wasn't.
Of course, the events of last night were hazy at best, he still could remember a bit. They went down to the casinos and, as planned, got wasted and blew almost all of his money gambling. When at a slot machine, he won some money. Not a lot, but definitely more than what he came with. Triple what he came with, actually. When the ringer went off, the one that always goes off when you win money on a slot machine, Jess jumped onto him with excitement. That's when he told her that he was so happy she was here with him and that she's his good luck charm. That made Jess have a giggle fest, and when he asked her why she was laughing, she said "Maybe, if I'm your good luck charm, we should get married." And that's it. Thats how it happened. At least, that's what he thinks happened.
All he knows is that when she proposed that they do this, he didn't feel any wave of doubt in him. It's almost as if he wanted this to happen. They've been dating for a month, having sex for 6 weeks. Hell, they've only known each other for about 5 months, but he didn't care. He wanted this marriage last night, and nothing's changed since then.
However, Jess seems to feel the complete opposite way. "Jess." He whispered causing her to look back up with him with her big blue eyes. He wanted to tell her everything that he just remembered, even the way he was actually feeling about their marriage. But he didn't. Looking into those big blue eyes, he could practically see the doubt floating around. "What are we going to do?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I think we should find ourselves a real good divorce lawyer." She replied, barely audible to Nick.
"If that's what you want." He whispered back.
Her head quickly whipped up to look at him. "Is that what you want?"
Now it was his turn to shrug his shoulders. No longer wanting to just sit there, he stood up and began to get dressed while he continued speaking. "I don't know, Jess. I mean, if I were to ever get married, it would probably be to you. And our relationship is going well, I just thought-"
"Oh my god Nick, you want to marry me!" He expected to see her frowning when he looked over, but she was smiling. His girlish reply worked. "Well, I mean, we are married, so you want to stay married to me?"
He shrugged again, picking up her clothes and tossing them to her. "You should get dressed too so we can go and get some breakfast." He felt as if he was shut down now, he couldn't talk about feelings anymore.
"Nick! Answer me because this is crucial! Do you want to stay married to me?" She asked, half screaming at him.
"Yes Jess! I'm saying that I want to stay married to you! Is that what you want to hear? I don't see a point in finding a divorce lawyer because at some point in my life I'm going to want to marry you anyway. So why not?" He didn't wait for her to answer. He was always the mature one in their relationship, and now he couldn't even stay and hear her response. He walked out of their hotel room, slamming the door, leaving a very confused Jess sitting on the bed.
I know this seems a little out of character for Nick, but I hope not too much. He's always been the sensitive one, but not good at talking about his feelings. I hope I let this show. Review and tell me what you think!
