I do not own New Girl or any of the characters. As usual some serious M rating.

I have some text messages in this chapter and any spelling mistakes/abbreviations/poor grammar are on purpose for those parts.

Finally Jess was ready and headed over to her best friend's apartment. She was greeted at the door by a very worn out looking Cece who gladly welcomed her help.

"Hey, how are you holding up?" Jess said sympathetically, pursing her lips into a thin line.

"I'm surprisingly good for someone who was ditched at the alter, it's just dealing with my family is the hard part and now this Schmidt situation has me stressed out."

"Cece he would be an idiot not to choose you."

"You think?" Cece said trying to sound hopeful.

"Definitely!"

"Right" Jess said, hands on her hips, "What's first?"

"Erm...would you mind checking through the guest list and see who gave me what gift. I suppose I will have to return all of them" Cece said, one hand on her hip, the other placed on her forehead holding back her fringe to show a very stressed out expression.

"Sure" Jess replied trying to sound as cheerful as possible, given the current situation, as she set to work.

Four hours later and a few too many bottles of wine, (drank mostly by Cece) and they were mostly finished.

"Fffphh" Jess huffed as she collapsed in a heap on the coach, "Done!"

"Thanks' babe" Cece said, trying her best to put on a smile as she sat on the floor and leaned back against the couch, "I owe you."

"C'mon Cece, you are the one always taking care of me and you are always there whenever I do something stupid or awkward, which is surprisingly often"

Jess' comment made Cece laugh for the first time since the non-wedding.

"Yeah, I just don't know Jess, I mean you are just so smooth. Remember that one time in college..." Cece said raising her eyebrows and teasing.

"Shut up" Jess replied cutting her off by throwing a pillow at Cece's head and just missing Cece's.

Back at the loft Nick lay flat on his back on Jess' bed staring at the ceiling, arms behind his head, deep in thought. He needed to come with ideas for this weekend away and start booking a couple of places. Since when did he plan in advance?

He knew that Jess deserved something real fancy and since he had been saving up his bar tips this month he could afford to spend a little extra. Nick had also been working hard on selling any of his father's belongings that were in storage so now he has some spare cash. He decides to start his search on the internet, he thinks Cancun would be nice, since he remembers one of his co-workers at the bar going there last year and really liking it. He looks up hotels and there are really good reviews for Le Blanc Spa Resort and so he decides to book there for beautiful views of stunning beaches. The reviews say 'Romantic getaway' so it sounds perfect. The pictures look amazing and there is even a hot tub on their own private balcony.

He books a room and flights for two leaving tomorrow at noon and lifts his case from the back of the wardrobe and begins to pack. Next he goes into the bathroom and uses his forearm to dump all of his wash kit into his travel wash bag.

He decides to send Jess a text to let her know when their flight is leaving and that she needs to start packing.

"Hey Jess, booked flights 4 tmrw nite. Pack 4 gd weather. Can't wait to see u later, love Nick."

"Yay can't wait. C'mon Miller give me at least some more details. I need to know what clothes to pack. PS I've caller ID, I know it's u, clown :)

"You know I hate phones. I've an idea, how about you pack that invisible shirt? I don't think you need any clothes, saves time on packing and time on me ripping them off you."

"Oh so this is how it's gonna be then?"

"Guess so. See ya soon, just heading out to the store. And this conversation needs to end or else I don't think I'll make it to the store without taking care of some business first ;)"

"Oh, does little Nick miss me?"

"JESS! I told you b4, no naming my penis!"

"But u said u named ur balls' Sharon, so little Nick felt left out :( "

"I think that is the most inappropriate use of an emoticon I have ever seen. And keep the Sharons' out of this!"

"Sure Miller whatever you say. Have to get back to helping out Cece here, nearly done thank goodness. My muscles are so tired and sore I think they have just about given up for the day"

"Just think soon we will be lounging on a beach, not a care in the world" he hit send and then he realized he had given her another hint. "Crap, ignore that last text."

"Ha - u fold like a lawn chair."

"I do not. And that is your last clue."

Since he has time to spare he decides to go to the local herbal store around the corner that he knows Jess loves. Plus he will bonus points for soothing those aches and pains caused by all of her heavy lifting from earlier today. As soon as he walks through the front door of the shop he regrets his spontaneous decision as he is apparently the only male in the store. A nice middle aged woman in her forties, with bohemian style clothing and silver grey hair held back out of her face with a material headband and her long straight locks platted into a lose French braid, approaches a very confused and lost looking Nick Miller.

"What would a handsome man like yourself be looking for?" said the woman.

"Erm...I'm not really sure. I'm going on a weekend away with my friend...who is a girl."

He inwardly cringed recalling the trouble he got into the last time he referred to Jess as his 'roomfriend'.

"Ah, I know just the thing." She begins looking at the many labeled bottles of liquids on the various shelves until she found what she was looking for."

"Here you go handsome" she said as she hands him a generously sized bottle of massage oil.

"Hang on" she said as she raises her index finger, "I know just the thing that will go perfectly with this." She moves towards a shelf full of nice smelling candles and incense and pickes up a small bottle of lavender essence and hands it to Nick. Then she bends down to the bottom shelf and lifts a selection of smooth, polished rocks.

"Here sunny, you heat these rocks up and place them on your girlfriends back on her pressure points."

"Woah" Nick said, "I'm not sure I'm qualified to use all this stuff!"

"Son you look like a man who can use his hands well enough, if you know what I mean." She gives him a wink and begins to laugh loudly. The awkwardness of the situation makes Nick shift in his spot, shuffling his feet and averting his gaze downwards to the ground.

"Yeah I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thank for all your help, Ma'am"

"Please, call me Wilma dear. I think that is you set." She hands him a paper bag over the counter containing his purchases.

"Where is it you are going?"

"Cancun"

"Oh I know this great place over there. It's a quaint little village. My friends live there in this darling converted villa with an outdoor pool. Just say Wilma sent you and they will happily invite you in. I will give them a heads up to be expecting you if you are interested. Trust me on this, it will be a good bonding experience for you two young lovers. And hey, there's free food."

"Well free food means I'm definitely on board" he said half jokingly, half serious. "Thanks Wilma, it sounds great."

He headed out of the shop and back to apartment 4D, proudly clutching the brown paper bag. If the guys found out about his recent purchases he would never live it down. But Schmidt buys this stuff just for himself on a weekly basis like his gelato crap. The only difference is that Nick doesn't earn enough money to start putting money in the douche-bag jar.

He goes into the loft and heads for his room to pack the items into his case. When he is satisfied that his packing is complete he goes to the kitchen to enjoy a nice cold beer. He lifts his beer out of the fridge and sits down on one of the bar stools, leaning his elbows against the cool surface of the island counter top. As he finishes the last drop of the cool liquid, he hears the loft door click open and shut. Next was the clinking sound of keys being set on the hall table.

He is pleased to see that it was Jess and not one of the guys. She had returned home early from helping Cece and she walks over to where Nick is sitting so she is directly behind him, her chest flush against his back. She slowly wraps her arms around his waist and Nick responds by placing his hands on top of hers and intertwining their fingers. Jess lets out a contented sigh as she rests against him.

"I missed you" she said.

"I missed ya' too Jess"

Nick began to trace patterns with his thumbs over her knuckles.

"I better go pack" she says as a yawn escapes her.

"Want any help?"

"Nah"

"Want to order Chinese takeaway?"

"Yeah just give me an hour to get packed"

Nick slides down of the bar stool so he is now facing Jess. He wraps his arms around her and gives her a slow, lazy kiss which she melts into. Nick pulls back to face her just in time to see her eyelids flutter open. He takes her hand and walks towards her room. He goes into her wardrobe and lifts out her over sized suitcase which is bright pink with white polka dots and places it on top of her neatly made bed.

"I'll just go watch the game for a bit"

"Ok" Jess' reply is muffled as she is now rummaging through her wardrobe trying to decide what to pack. Then she remembers her shopping bag from earlier and decides to pack it. She neatly folds two cute day dresses into her case, one evening dress which is slightly more formal and several bikinis. Some of which are a little more revealing than she would usually wear but she thinks why not, plus she still wants to make an effort around Nick. She packs a few pairs of flats, a pair of sandals and one pair of high heels to go with her formal wear. She heads to the bathroom and packs her wash bag and she is finished packed.

"Hey Nick...I've finished packing can you order in food?"

"Yep, on it now"

The food had arrived and Nick and Jess sat side by side at the dining table. When they had both finished Nick placed their dishes in the sink as Jess moved to the sofa. She poured more white wine into her wine glass and slipped off her flats, curling up on the couch and placing her feet underneath her. She began to flick through the channels when Nick sat beside her. Jess scooted over closer to Nick. He put his arm around her and she snuggled in close, resting her head on his chest.

They were up early and managed to convince Winston to drive them to the airport. Nick had enough by the time they arrived after listening to both Jess and Winston singing show tunes from Wicked the whole car journey there. They got through security without too much hassle. Nick heard their flight being called for boarding and stood up as the overhead speakers announced "Gate 2 flight to Cancun, Mexico, now open".

"Mexico?" Jess squealed with delight.

"Yeah baby, the most trouble free place in the world" Nick said with a bit too enthusiastically.

Jess tilted her head to the side in slight confusion, narrowing her eyes at him, but didn't want to put a downer on is mood so she decided to just go with it. She reached out her hand to his as he led her to their gate. They boarded to plane and Nick was thankful that there were no screaming babies or annoying children on board, allowing them to both sleep for most of the flight.

They collected their suitcases from the conveyor belt and headed out to get a taxi. They arrived at the hotel and swiftly made their way to their room, Nick lagging only slightly behind while carrying all of the luggage. Jess ran into the room and flung herself backwards onto the comfy looking king sized bed in the middle of the room.

"Ah" she sighed in delight, "This is the life, huh Miller?"

Nick dropped the suitcases at the entrance to the room and walked over to the bed, copying Jess as he fell backwards onto the bed causing her body to rise and fall gently with the ripples of movement Nick had created on the beds' springs.

"So..." Jess said as she moved her body onto her side to face Nick who started to twist the ends of her dark brown curls between his finger and thumb. The implication of her words made his breath hitch and he raised his eyebrows. Almost having a silent conversation between one another Jess broke into one of her full blown dazzling smiles and nodded her her head up and down. A switch inside of him flicked on and he rolled over so that he was now on top of her, trapping her between himself and the sheets.

"God Jessica, you are so gorgeous" he said it with so much sincerity Jess had to take a moment to process all that was happening between her and Nick. Her gaze wandered from his intense stare. Nick looked down at her is disbelief, it was as if she did not believe him. He hovered above her using one arm and with the other he lifted his hand to her chin the force her to look at him.

"Jessica" he kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, "it's true", her cheek, "and now " her plump red lips, "I get to show you".

With his final words he lightly bit at her lower lip, a smile turning the corners of his mouth upwards at the ends. Jess remained quiet, unable to form words in her spinning head. She felt like she was floating on air. She closed her eyes and relaxed into his embrace. He nipped along her collar bone, his lips finally found their way to that spot just below her ear and he began to trace the length of her neck. She tilted her head to allow him better access, a quiet moan escaping her lips.

"Hey Jess" he whispered against her silky soft skin, "We don't have to be quiet anymore"

At this comment Jess let out a deep laugh.

"Not like we are usually quiet any way Miller"

"You know what I mean!"

"Yes, yes I do. I'm just teasing"

Nick hands fumbled to get any item of clothing off Jess and in the time they had been together he had managed to get it down to a fine art, stripping her naked as fast as possible. Jess unfastened his belt and he helped her by pulling his jeans and boxers the rest of the way off him. He resumed his position on top of her, not yet entering her.

"Do you wanna..." Nick said, annoyed at himself for being so nervous.

Jess looked at him, her eyes narrowed, unsure as to what he was referring to exactly. So Nick continued.

"You know...Lead?" He finished, lacking confidence is his request.

Realization finally hitting Jess. "Oh...um...ok, sure". Thinking back the only time she had 'lead' was with Paul and that was not a time she wanted to remember or repeat.

Nick tightened his grip around her hips and rolled over so she was now completely naked above him, straddling him. He kept his hold on her as she settled onto her knees, either side of him. She slowly raised up on her knees, rapping her hand around his length and guiding him to her entrance as she lowered herself on top of him once more. She gave both of their bodies time to adjust and then she began to slowly rock her hips in a circular motion. She watched as Nick's eyes rolled back in his head as he let it crash onto the pillow in a moment of pure ecstasy.

Jess liked the feeling of dominance for a change. She leaned forward, her hands either side of his head. Nick moved to grasp around her lower back, pulling her higher up towards him. Jess was lying almost horizontal above him and she quickened the pace and tilted her head back, letting out a loud deep moan. Nick, now with perfect perky boobs in his face reached up and took her left breast into his mouth. He gently sucked on it but as her cries grew louder he began to pull away from her, biting and tugging and her hard nipple, massaging the other boob with his hand. He felt Jess' hips buck with an erratic rhythm as he did so. He could feel she was getting close and so slowed down, he wanted to make this moment last as long as he could.

"Niiiiik!" Jess whined

"Tell me what you want Jessica" he whispered against her hot sweaty flesh.

"Faster..." She panted "harder..."

"Uh-huh" was all Nick managed to grunt between each deep thrust.

"I want you to Fuck me miller" as she finished her sentence they locked eyes. He could see she was being serious so with a single movement he flipped both of them back over so he was once more above her. He looked down at her flushed cheeks, tinged pink From their bedroom activities. Her lips were full and deep red from their frantic kissing.

Jess lifted up her arms to grab hold of the headboard. Nick sat up on his knees and lifted up her lower body of the bed, gripping hold of her ass and began to thrust hard and fast as she requested. Soon enough they both let out a satisfied cry and fell together on top of the mattress.
