Nick didn't dare leave Winston's room when he woke. He could hear Cece trying to convince Jess to open the bathroom door and then Schmidt yelling some nonsense about his chute-ney not having enough time to dry. So he figured it would be best to just stay put for the time being, at least until he could be absolutely sure that the coast was clear.
He had tried to get Jess to let him into the bathroom the night before, but she was too hurt to even look at him. And all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and comfort her and reassure her that she was the only girl for him. Heck he hadn't even had a chance to tell her that he broke it off with Reagan.
It made him feel like a complete douchebag; which if he was being perfectly honest with himself, he kinda was.
He knew he never should of allowed the girls to take it as far as they did. But at the time, he had let his little Miller take over his entire thought process; it had essentially told him 'Go for it Buddy, who are you to deny them.'
Jess had insisted that she had always wanted to try a threesome and Reagan appeared to be on board as well; besides he was a man and all his teenage fantasies had finally come true. But what he hadn't considered was that one night of fun, would result with such a disastrous consequence. And had he known what Reagan's true intentions were, he never would have allowed it to continue.
Frustrated, Nick pushed himself up from the bed and glanced down to the floor, that's when he noticed a green mug sitting in the corner of Winston's room.
"What in heaven's sake is that doing in here." Nick whispered to himself getting up from the bed and moving over towards the cup.
He crouched down to pick it up and sure enough there it is was, the green Ass Strategies mug, also known as the infamous Sex mug. The very mug which he and Jess use to put out to secretly indicate to each other when they were feeling randy.
Nick turned his head from side to side as if Winston was in the room with him. "Oh. My. God. Winston Bishop, you low down dirty rotten scoundrel."
He couldn't believe it, the last time he had seen this mug was over a year ago. He had honestly thought that Jess had taken it back when he went to retrieve it from the trashcan that night. But then Jess started dating Sam again, and he started dating Reagan and the mug was long forgotten.
Smiling to himself he knew this is what he needed to get Jess back, well at least this is what he hoped. It was the only thing that he could think of that would make her understand that he had never stopped wanting to make things work between them. And that Regan was just a distraction who he was never truly "All In" with.
His only hope now was that this very mug would be able to convey to her how much he did in fact still care and want to be with her, even after all this time. And although he never actually had it in his possession, he wouldn't technically be lying, because he still had gone out to get it that night. At least he would have to tell himself this, otherwise his sweatback would give it away.
He just had to figure out when the best time would be to put it out, because he was fairly certain that she was still pissed. And if she was half as mad at him as she was last night, she would probably throw it out the window.
ok I know this chapter is cheesy, but I think the mug should resurface before the end of this season, tempting either Jess or Nick to put it out. I think it would be a great way to start an affair between the two, eventually breaking Nick and Reagan up and maybe even accidentally causing Jess to get pregnant.
Next chapter is in the works. I find it easier to write short chapters to get the brain flowing.
