A/N: Well hello there, I'm back again! This is second chapter with in the space of two or so days, so aren't you guys lucky! I don't really know where I'm going with this story but I shall work it out as I go along, because I'm just as clueless as you guys are about the future of this. 2x03 is on tomorrow and I'm so so so excited and hopefully, the chapter after this will have some moments inspired by the events of "Fluffer", but we'll just have to see. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and please review.

Recap: Jess decided. She loved Nick, she always had deep down. And she was going to test him, creating moments where there normally wouldn't be anything. She was looking forward to this.

She smiled, as she fell back asleep, sleeping better that night than she had done in a while.

I know it is always been there
But there is trouble ahead, I can feel it.


Nick's eyes darted open. He could feel the heat from the sun against his face, and the heat from Jess on the left side of his body. He tried his best to stretch without waking Jess up. Jess stirred in her sleep but didn't wake. Nick glanced at her, remembering what he had said the previous night as clear as mud in his head, apart from he couldn't really remember her reaction. This would be awkward. Where do I stand with her? Are we together? Just friends? Nick thought to himself, and decided on waiting to see what she did. He didn't want to wake her, but really, really, needed the bathroom. Slowly, he peeled the blanket from his legs, wait, blanket? And placed his right hand between Jess' head and his shoulder, shuffling further away from her and placing a cushion down so she could rest her head comfortably.

He tiptoed to the bathroom, not wanting to wake Jess and not knowing if any of the other roommates were awake yet, he really couldn't be bothered with an awkward confrontation from them at this moment in time. Luckily, there was no-one else in the bathroom. He moved over to the urinal, unzipping his fly when Schmidt peered over the cubicle.

"Hey dude."

"Oh my god, Schmidt, you really need to stop doing that to people!" Nick said, getting quieter as he spoke as to not wake the girl fast asleep on the sofa.

"So," Schmidt questioned, climbing down and walking round to stand next to Nick, "what happened last night?"

"Nothing." Nick chuckled to himself as he remembered the exact same conversation he had with Jess a few weeks ago.

"Right.. I mean, I've never seen you two so close before but if you say nothing happened.. nothing.. happened." Schmidt approached the door to leave the bathroom.

"Exactly." Nick said slowly, taking in the last words Schmidt had said. Wow, I really don't remember much.

Jess woke up, alone on the sofa. Her head placed on a cushion and covered by the blanket Cece had placed their earlier. She looked around, the apartment seemed empty, although she could just overhear a hushed conversation. "Right.. But I mean, I've never seen you two so close before but if you say nothing happened." She stood up, brushing the blanket off herself. She slowly approached the bathroom. The closer she got, the more obvious it was that it was Nick and Schmidt in the bathroom.

She was now just by the door frame to the bathroom, and just at that moment, Schmidt walked out the bathroom and right into her.

"Whoa, Jess, mind out!" Schmidt said, staring at her, and at that moment Cece left his room, "Cecelia!" and he ran over to see her.

Jess was still standing outside the bathroom, realising how much of a mess she probably looked right now. Quickly, she darted to her room. She picked out one of her favourite dresses, put it on, clean up her make-up from last night and walked into the bathroom. Nick was still in there. Perfect.

"Oh, hey Jess." Nick said, whilst placing toothpaste onto his brush, not looking up fully. "Oh.. you got changed. How long was I in here?"

"Haha, very funny, Nick," Jess smirked approaching the sinks picking up her toothbrush and purposely leaning in front of him to reach it. She held the brush out so Nick could place some of the toothpaste he still had in his hand upon it, "wait, are you saying you don't like the fact I changed? Oh god, I look awful, don't I?" Jess panicked sarcastically.

"No, no, no, you look very nice, I was just sayi—"

"You think I look very nice, do you?" Jess interrupted.

"Yes, Jess, I just said you did. Anyway, can I get on? I really ought to brush my teeth right now?"

"Yeah, sure, go ahead."

They both started brushing their teeth and as soon as they had finished and both placed their brushes back in the holder, Jess leant against the sink watching Nick trying to sort his hair.

"Hey, come here." She said, beckoning him with her finger.

He approaches her slowly, looking at her in confusion, continuing to walk. He stops just in front of her looking into her eyes.

"Here," she says, running her fingers through his hair, managing to get closer to him than they were, still maintaining eye contact, "all sorted."

She lingered there, right in front of him for a moment, glancing down at his lips and back up to his eyes.

And then, she walked away. She could feel Nick's eyes watching her, and she knew he had that dopey look on his face that he always has on when he's confused. She couldn't look back though, act natural, she said to herself.

Wow, what was that? Nick thought to himself. I bet she's just teasing but I'm going to enjoy the hell out of however long this is going to go on for.
