Hi guys thank you so much for all the follows/favourites/reviews. I think this one is a final chapter.. But I can't stop obsessing about these two especially after that final.. Even got Cotton eye joe on my iPod. So I may do another story or another chapter if its right.
Your thoughts on this story would be welcomed as this was my first proper fanfic.. first fic really..
"What is Spencer doing at our house Schmidt?" Nick stood up forgetting that Jess was frozen on his lap. When she fell to she fell to the floor she let out a yelp.
"What was that?" Schmidt queried through the phone, glad to change the subject.
"Err a cat."
"Oh great you found it then."
"Schmidt enough about the cat. What is Spencer doing at the loft."
"How should I know he turned up here completely and utterly wasted yelling for Jess. We had to let him in because the neighbor came out to complain. Now he is just sitting here."
"Great, what do you want me to do about it?"
"Well we were thinking that you could call Jess and not let me get into trouble over disturbing her and Cece's weekend. Pretend that you phone to wish her happy birthday and casually drop into the conversation that the love of her life is here crying over her."
Jess who had been listening the whole time looked up at Nick at Schmidt's last sentence. She could see the worry in his eyes. It upset her that Nick still had these fears.
"Yeah ok Schmidt ill talk to Jess."
"You'll call her! Great thanks man."
"Yeah that's what I meant I will call her. Speak to ya soon man"
He put the phone down dejectedly. "Nick he was wrong"
"What Spencer isn't there."
"No about him being the love of my life. That is over with you know that right?"
"It's a little difficult to believe Jess when he is apparently crying on the sofa over you."
"We are not going to let him ruin our day. We are going to stick with what we planned."
"Really Jess? You who wants to make the whole world happy shiny place can forget about this."
Nick knew Jess too well if someone was upset especially if it involved her she would want to fix it.
"Of course Nick" she was lying but it was more to herself than to anyone else in the room.
Nick walked over to his case and put it on the bed to start packing. "What I don't understand is why now? Why after all this time he suddenly cares."
"We met on my birthday." Jess said quietly. "Nick we don't have to go back this is our weekend"
Nick just gave Jess a look as if to say he didn't believe her.
"Jess we will have lots of weekends together. Lets sort this out because I know that it will be on your mind all day. And it be ruined anyway."
"Fine. But what about the fact that you are with me."
"Call me crazy but I would like that idiot ex of your to know anyway. If that means the others find out that's fine by me."
Jess was torn she didn't want Nick upset he had gone to so much effort to make this weekend special. But he was right it would be on both their minds.
"Nick?"
"Yeah Jess."
"I love you." She said in such a simple way as she was packing that it took Nick back a little. It also helped him to relax a bit.
"I will let Schmidt know that you are making your way back."
To Nick they seemed to get back home quicker than when they arrived. Once they were about 15 mins away from the loft Jess grabbed Nick's hand, it had been a very quiet journey. He looked over at her quickly giving her a tight smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
"I will sort this." She tried to comfort him a little
He just gave a short nod in reply, Jess sighed cursing Spencer in her head.
They walked to back to the loft with Nick still saying nothing
When they were in the elevator Jess pulled Nick towards her, hoping to convey her feelings into one kiss. " I could kill him for ruining our weekend."
When they stepped out the lift Jess grabbed Nick's hand again, he looked down in shocked no expecting her to be so open that quickly with the people the other side of the door. "Ready."
"Suppose, let get this over with."
They walked through the front door Jess first having to slightly pull Nick in behind her
"Oh thank god Jess what took you so..." Schmidt who was sitting on the Sofa next to a tall blond guy leaning over with his head on his knees. Winston next to Schmidt as if he had had enough and wishing everyone away.
When Schmidt had trailed off everyone looked up at the front door to see the couple standing there. "What is this? Nick why are you here... More importantly why THE HELL are you holding Jessica's hand!" Schmidt had stood up by now.
Winston who had suddenly became more interested in his surroundings leaned forward around Spencer and fist pumped the air "I knew it! Didn't I tell you Schmidt. That's $50 you owe me."
"That is not the point right now Winston. The more important point is of a certain No nail oath that was signed by a certain roommate."
"For god sake Schmidt not now. It's not like you didn't see this coming. My weekend, sorry OUR weekend was ruined and I want to know why.. Spencer what are you doing here."
Schmidt looked out raged at being pushed aside. But at that time Jess just wanted to sort out Spencer then they can move on to Schmidt's outburst later. Nick who was still being stubbornly silent was just looking at his feet being no help what so ever and wishing his was back in their room just the two of them.
"Well Spencer, now you have got my roommates to drag me back home are you going to say anything or are you moving in onto the sofa."
Jess wasn't sure but she could swear Nick who had now decided to make eye contact with he rest of the room just mumbled "over my dead body"
"Look Jess I'm sorry." He looked around at the 3 other males in the room as if he was scared, which lets face it. He was. "Can we talk about this you know somewhere private, lets talk in your room."
"Yeah that's not happening" this response came from Nick rather than Jess. "No Spencer. Nick's right you have something to say Man up and say it in front of my friends."
"Fine" the alcohol which had mainly worn off by that point but was still lingering in his system helped his courage a little bit "I miss you Jess I was an idiot for doing what I did and I miss you so much I have tried to get over you I really have. Please let's give us another shot"
Jess wasn't expecting that and had gone silent. When she had first broke up with him that's all she wanted to hear, until one day she got over it, mainly thanks due to the person who's hand was gripped fairly tightly in hers. Nick started laughing, not one of those funny laughs more "I can't believe this is happening laughs.
"You have got to be kidding me!"
Spencer who had some how not noticed the joint hands turned to look at Nick. "Look I don't know who you are but this is between me and Jessie"
Nick started to move forward "ok I have tried to be patient, I have tried to keep my anger in check for JESS's sake but you come into my home and hit on My Girlfriend and how is that Not my business. Give me one god dam reason why I shouldn't kick you ass out of here, with the help of my two friend of course."
Jess didn't want things to turn ugly she hated confrontation but there was apart of her that like this side of Nick sticking up for her.
"Nick it's ok." She stood right by him putting her arm on his shoulder "he right Spencer I'm sorry that you feel this way but it's too late, I stopped having feelings for you along time ago. In fact if I am glad now that you did what you did because my life wouldn't be what it is now if you hadn't. We didn't love each other really."
"Your choosing this person over us?"
"1000 times over, Spencer I'm sorry."
"No I'm sorry Jess that you pick this scruffy, bad karma'd guy over me."
"Look I'm getting a bit bored of this now, your the idiot that cheated on her, you lost the best thing that is ever going to happen to you." Nick was really trying not to loose his cool, it helped that he was the one Jess was standing with.
"Aww Nick." Jess was starting to tear up from Nick's speech
"Fine ill leave then Jess, but don't expect me to be waiting around if you change your mind."
"I really wouldn't worry about that Spencer."
With that Spencer had stormed out the door not quite believing someone would turn him down, no one ever turned him down.
Schmidt and Winston had been quiet the whole conversation getting ready if they need to help Nick kick this guys ass if need be but letting the couple sort it out. However hard that was for Schmidt.
"Ok can someone please tell me what is going on with you two." Schmidt was almost exhausted with keeping his voice in. "Do know what you have done, the loft is ruined because of this. RUINED I TELL YA!"
"Jeez Schmidt calm down nothing is ruined Jess and I.. Well we know what we are doing. There is no need to freak out about this."
"I'm sorry Schmidt" came from Winston who walked over to the couple "but I am happy for you guys, I think this could be good for you. Both I you. Just to warn though Nick if you hurt her I will hurt you." He put his hand on Nicks shoulder and looked him straight in the eye "I mean it"
"Err thanks Winston, I think." Nick did look a little frightened knowing how crazy Winston could get.
"Nope nope nope.. I will not and can not be happy that will ruin our perfect living situation. I don't care how much eye sex you to have it will not be enough to convince me."
"Jar!" Came from the other 3 in the room.
"No way I get out of this one if anyone should be putting money in their it's Nick."
"Yeah that's not happening.!"
"Look guys enough. Schmidt I know you aren't happy about this but we are.. Very happy so just give us a chance to prove it won't affect you guys." Jess was trying to calm the situation down. Her day had started off perfectly now had basically turned to crap.
"Fine you get a chance if it start affect me then you will hear about it. On a side note the small print on the no nail oath..."
"Schmidt if you dare finish that sentence I swear something will definitely be affecting you and it be my fist."
"Ok ok calmed down Nick, it's not like I would want to sleep with her anyway.. Yuck!"
"Hey!" Jess started to protest at his words until she saw the look Nick was giving her. "Never mind"
"Schmidt, you may not want to know about us but that is my Girlfriend you are talking about. It's the last time the no nail oath is ever brought up again alright. Now if the drama is all over with how about we go get a few drinks and finish celebrating Jess's birthday."
"Ooh sounds fun Nick.. I'll call Cece."
She skipped off into her room whilst Nick watched her go.
"Aww man your completely gone aren't you," Schmidt looked defeated as if he had some major plan up his sleeve.
"Yep absolutely." Nick laughed but looked kind of embarrassed as well.
"Good for you man. It's about time."
Nick was glad to have Winston on his side, Schmidt would come around eventually. He had no choice. If today had taught if anything it's that you don't let Jessica Day get away.
