Slightly shorter chapter to lead into the next part.
Would be great if you could let me know what you think good and bad :)
As the four roommates walked into the bar, Nick looked over to see who was working. In his haste to get out the apartment he forgot that having Jess and Shane in the same room was probably not the best of ideas.
Thankfully and very lucky for Nick it was Big Bob. "You guys grab a booth, I will get the drinks."
"Hey big Bob. How's it going?"
"It's all good Nick, surprised to see you here on your day off."
"Yeah well the need for alcohol was great. Can I get 3 beers and one pink wine please." He and Jess hasn't eaten since the pancakes that morning and considering the amount of exercise they had that day, he thought he should probably get some sort of food too."while your at it Big Bob can I get 7 packets of crisps too."
Big Bob gave Nick and the crisps with a very odd look.
Which incidentally was the very same look the got from his roommates when he sat down at the table. "Hungry Nick?" Jess asked innocently. "Just a bit."
They weren't sure when it had happened but somewhere along the line when they sat together as a group it was always Winston and Schmidt, Jess and Nick.
So when Nick slid next to Jess he shouldn't have been affected by the slight touches that happen when two people sit next to one another
As the evening wore the bar started getting busier.
"We need some music in hear" Jess declared a little louder than necessary, thinking that maybe she shouldn't have any more wine if only the few she had was starting to affect her.
As she made her way over to the juke box in the corner Nick couldn't keep his eyes off her.
He was pulled out of his daze with sudden clicking in front of his face"hey hey hey none of that. We agreed remember!"
"I'm not doing anything Schmidt."
"You better not be. We all just about got out unscathed after last time."
Winston rolled his eyes at Schmidt.
Nick just went back to his drink trying not to look over at Jess.
Suddenly he suddenly stood up. "I'm going to make sure she doesn't put anything lame on."
Schmidt started to protest, Winston just nudged him "let them work it out"
"Hey Jess"
"Oh hey nick, I couldn't decided between Taylor swift or Katy perry?"
Nick laughed "really? Actually Jess I was thinking..." He leaned on the jukebox and said a little quieter so no one would overhear "I think we should have a first date."
"Didn't we do that already? It didn't exactly work out very well."
"Ok how about a 2nd first date, you know one with less interfering ex boyfriends and parking tickets."
"There was only one ex boyfriend, and I thought you liked Russell?"
"I did. That was before..."
"Before, what?"
"Before valet tickets, before us."
"Yeah your right we need a 2nd first date."
"Great leave it to me."
Jess chose a song that was neither Taylor swift or Katy Perry, and they both headed back to the table.
Nick was glad that he had a 2nd chance to give Jess the first date she deserved and if Russell showed up at this one there would be a good chance that he would have to match up his fancy suits with a black eye.
