Thank you for all the review, here is the next part.
The italics are flashback.
Your comments and reviews would be very helpful.. Hope you enjoy :)
As the ambulance sped through the L.A traffic, the medic continued to work on Jess, having to work around Nick as he didn't have the heart to ask him to let go of his wife's hand. The poor guy looked a mess and the medic didn't blame him thinking of his own wife and kids at home.
Nick was completely unaware of anything going on around him his sole focus on Jess. He was thinking back to Cece's non wedding. How close they were to not making it.
He stood before her, her eyes seem to be bluer due to the tears in her eyes "and before you say no...don't say no." He could feel himself smile. She wanted to do this, give them a chance. He felt himself relax for the first time since waking up next to her the previous day. He closed that space between them and pulled her into his arms, his kiss was soft and gentle with the promise of the passion that quickly followed them, it was hopeful. Jess was so happy she gave a slight giggle when they were kissing. All it did was make Nick want to kiss her more. "Give me the keys." She handed them to him "where are we going?" the happiness showing through her voice. "I don't know, where did we come from, where do we go?" She laughed again, which was becoming his favourite sound vowing to make her laugh more often. He helped her in to the car "that was Cotton-eye wasn't it." He jumped over the car just because he was happy and a little to hear that laugh again.
Nick insisted on going a longer route not knowing where he was going to drive just to extend the alone time he could have with Jess. They were back to normal the conversation flowed with no awkwardness. Though they were avoiding the topic of them, but they had plenty to talk about regarding their other friends. "Who do you think Schmidt will choose?" If anyone had an idea what was going on in his head it was Nick. "I don't know, I don't think he does either. But I do know that Elizabeth won't wait around for long wait for him to decide."
"What do you mean you left Winston at the bar? Was he ok?" "I was distracted alright, he was the one that kicked my but into coming after you." Jess smiled slightly "May you can be forgiven then. I will send him a text making sure he is ok."
They drove for about 30 minutes nonstop talking and laughing until Nick heard Jess's stomach rumbled. So he decide that he would pull into the next service station, it wouldn't be fancy but it will be food. Hopefully he will have plenty of time to make it up to her. Jess was glad to see the little café off the side at the road, however much she was enjoying with Nick she had barely eaten all day.
The place was empty apart from a waitress behind the counter who smiled at them when they walked in. They sat at a booth in the corner of the room Nick sliding in next to Jess. It became awkward again now that they were out of their car bubble. Jess was staring at the menu as if it was a life changing decision on what to order, Nick on the other hand wasn't paying any attention to the menu. He wanted to be able to touch her, just put his arm around her, they were in public after all. But he didn't know if that was allowed. "Hey guys, what can I get you?" "I will take the chicken burger with chocolate shake please." "And you Sir?" Nick hadn't looked at the menu once or even heard what Jess had order "erm the same please."
"Nick don't do this, we said that we will give this a try, did you want un un-call it?" This got Nick out of his daze "God Jess! No. It just well... I don't know what is ok and what isn't ok." "What do you mean?" Nick took a deep breath "Well for starters is this ok?" He put his arm around her shoulders. Jess moved closer into him. Feeling more confident and getting the fact that he was now being teased he relaxed. Knowing he was over thinking things once again "Well how about this?" he gave her quick kiss on her lips "Yep that's quite the dilemma you have there Miller. How about we just give us a proper shot, make this thing real then we won't have to worry about that."
Nick went to reply when the waitress came over with their food "here you go folks. You guys look all fancy been to a wedding have you?" Nick laughed at that "sort of." "Your Girlfriend here looks very pretty in that outfit." Jess who was drinking down her shake almost spat it out, she started to panic fully expecting Nick to moonwalk his way out of here. "
She does, doesn't she." Jess just stared at Nick, he just shrugged. "We said we will try properly right." She leaned over and kissed him on the side of his mouth. ""Thank you Nick."
In a life time of bad decisions that was the first of many good ones. As they reached the hospital he had to step back as several doctors and nurses came forward to start working on a still unconscious Jess. The medics started off sprouting everything they had found and did to her.
"Sir you are going to have to wait here." One of the nurse's told him stopping him from making another step forwards. "Look after them please." "We will do our best. Is there anyone you can call to sit with you?" She felt bad for the guy, his wife was in a bad way, he should have some support. Nick just nodded he needed to call the others he wasn't sure that he could get the words out of his mouth, still not sure if he understood it himself.
