Jess awoke to a lovely warm bed in her room. Light was just spilling in through the curtain, its brightness daring to attempt to wake the sleeping body next to her. She could hear the birds singing and she felt like joining in. She took Nick's hand gently, not to wake him but to keep her reminded that last night had not been a dream. It was dreamy, but not a dream.
After their confrontation in the car park last night, Nick had driven her back to the loft. Back to their home. After that she wouldn't go into details, but it had been great. She knew this would be hard, harder than any of her relationships, but she trusted Nick with all of her heart. They were best friends and even with a relationship, she knew they wouldn't lose that bond they shared since they met. It would be different being his girlfriend, he'd called her that a few times last night, laughing at himself in the process like he, just like her, couldn't believe it, but she hoped being his girlfriend would make things better.
Jess knew that relationships took work. Real relationships took lots of work but she was willing to do anything it took to make this work. And if it didn't work out… well that was a risk she was willing to take if it meant being with Nick like this for a while. She hoped if they did reach the end of their relationship she could keep her place in the loft, and they could go back to being friends. It wouldn't be the same as before, but again, it was worth the risk.
"You look beautiful in the morning." Nick was looking at her, wide awake. His hair was scruffy and he looked tired, but he looked perfect to her.
"Thank you, you too." She grinned. "I thought this was over. I thought this was over before it had even begun to be honest."
"Me too. I convinced myself this wasn't what you wanted."
"Same."
"I thought kissing you then leaving it had closed any door to a relationship between us. I thought all doors to relationships were…shut." Nick laughed along with her at his words. "I'm a writer!" he reminded her.
"What do you call this then?" Jess leant over and kissed him very lightly.
"I'd call last night…opening doors."
"Doors?" Jess asked adding emphasise on the fact the word was plural.
"Well, this could go on in many different ways, it could end in many different ways, anything we do from this point, every possibility is a possible door we could go through. Like when you write a book, each ending could be possible, so there are tons of doors the characters could take to complete their journey. So last night, with us, was the first door and everything else will be…"
"Opening doors." Jess finished.
"Exactly."
"Nick?"
"Yeah?"
"I hope the novel ends well."
"Me too."
And with that, they stopped talking and did something better instead

So that's the end! Sorry, if it's a bad ending, I wasn't sure quite how to complete the story. I didn't want them to tell each other they love the other one as I don't think they're ready yet, but I wanted a nice open ending so you can think of it as how you like. Please review if you liked it or hated it, I love hearing any feedback, positive or negative.
I do not own anything from New Girl; all characters are not of my creation.
Have a great day!
