"Come on Jess. I am ready to go." A pouting Cece yells. She saunters into the loft following behind a stressed Jessica. They are dressed and ready for a night at the bar. Nick promised if they'd stop by he would give them a few free drinks. Not really bothering to question such generosity in such a cheap man, the girls agreed and were nearly out the door before Jess claimed she had to go back. While Jess ran to her room, Cece waited for her to come back taking a seat in the kitchen.

Soon after Cece joins with the chair, Schmidt comes running out of his room but tries to play it off as a rush to the oven.

"Oh, Cecilia you're here? I was just checking on my chicken breast."

"Schmidt there's nothing in the oven." Cece says with a roll of the eyes. A blush appears on her cheeks at his presence. The two have talked since their night together. Between late night texts and meetings, her heart continuously reacts to the thoughts flooding her mind. But yet, there's no publicity or titles.

Taking note of Cece's apparel Schmidt's interest rises. A short red dress hugs her body tight as long silk like legs run into ruby red heels that make him want to take her home already. Just as Schmidt prepares to ask where she's headed, Jess pops out of her room.

"Ready to go Cece?" Jess says, her voice trailing off into a shy whisper as she notices Schmidt taking in the full length of Cece's body. She hides her giggle behind her clutch purse with a large pink bow.

"Where are you two dolls headed?" A jealous and curious Schmidt ponders. After telling Schmidt their plans, he hastily decided that he too will join them. At least fifth-teen outfit changes and a hand full of hair gel later, Schmidt heads out the door with intention to meet the girls there.

Looking up from the wiping the latest spilled drink at the bar, Nick sees perfectly curled brown locks bouncing towards him. A red lipstick coats the lips he dreams about to go along with her hot pink sweater and black skirt. Even standing next to Cece, he's still over-whelmed by her beauty. As they approach the bar, Nick fills their glasses with a highly recommended wine. Well other ladies always ask for it anyway.

"Free of charge ladies. But don't expect this all the time because I can get fired." Nick says in a cautious whisper looking around at other patrons he doesn't want to hand free drinks to and at coworkers who may overhear.

However, Cece is more bold. "So what do you want in return Nick?" She asks plainly before taking a sip of wine. Jess sits only half stunned. Of course Cece would be blunt. She always has been. Nick on the other side of the bar appears some what threatened as words begin to loosely pass through his lips.

"Well I don't need anything from you...Cece. I just knew that Jess would probably feel more comfortable with you here." He speaks with his voice low, a bit embarrassed of what he is considering asking for. Jess looks up from her glass of wine with confused eyes and flushed cheeks. What could Nick possibly want from me? There is a moment of impending silence before Nick realizes that he doesn't have enough time to be embarrassed.

Above the heads of the girls, he sees a blonde tornado of trouble heading towards the bar. Nick's eyes search for the boyfriend along side of her but doesn't seem to find one. &I thought she mentioned this as a meeting of significant others.& Caroline comes up to the bar, nonchalantly standing between Jess and Cece as if she doesn't even see them there.

"Nick! How are you?" She says with a broad white smile that can deceive a blind man. Nick knows her well enough not to fall back in love with perfectly white teeth framed by glossy pink lips. But she's still so pretty, he thinks with a groan before feigning a smile himself.

"I'm fine. Where is your... um... boyfriend" Nick mumbles the last word, trying his hardest to act disinterested.

"He actually can't come by today. But I thought we could still hang out. I'd love to meet this girl Jess you were talking about." Caroline states with the fake air about her that all people like her possess. People who break hearts and move on and then come back. But at the mention of her own name, Jess nearly chokes sipping back a large gulp of wine. He talks about me?

Finally Caroline takes notice in Jess beside her. "Oh sorry I didn't know it was you. Nick how dare you not introduce me to your beautiful girlfriend." She blurts out holding her hand at a distance for Jess to shake.

"Wha- I think you are a little confused. I live with Nick but-"

"But we're actually engaged now!" Nick yells cutting Jess off. His eyes are filled with terror and Jess can not even think of a proper reaction. She just sits, mouth agape. "Yeah so we moved on from the girlfriend phase. Caroline meet my fiancé Jess and Jess meet my Ex girlfriend Caroline."

"Fia-" but again Jess is cut off. This time with Nick's lips pressed against her own. An awkward mushing together before the kiss is deepened and the two indulge in the pure pleasure of having their lips finally touch. Pulling away and looking into lust filled eyes Nick tries to gain his composure. He leans into Jess and whispers in her ear.

"I need you to be in love with me" he pants still out of breath from a kiss that moved the ground beneath his feet. What was that!? "Just for tonight. I'll explain later."

In a haze from the kiss, Jess simply utters an "ok Nick". Returning to the world outside of passion Jess opens her eyes to a shocked Cece and a fuming Caroline. Green jealousy floods her blue eyes, which for some reason brings a slight smile to the curl of Jess' lips. She reaches over and places a hand on top of Nick's and tries her hardest to appear sexy as she uncontrollably bats her eyes.

Cece, coming to the realization of the charade, tilts her head back with a laugh. She downs the rest of the wine before standing up. "Keep 'em coming Nick. I'm going to need to get that lovely picture out of my mind. I'll see you tomorrow for the bachelorette party Jess". She sticks her tongue out before heading towards a booth which Winston and Schmidt have just occupied.

Flipping her hair over her shoulder Caroline takes a seat next to Jess, leaning as far away as possible without falling out of the chair. To add to the game, Nick asks what drink Caroline would like as if he hasn't memorized her favorite. Her nostrils flare with anger and him and Jess share a snicker at her expense.

For the rest of the night, they keep up the show of constant flirting and petting. Oddly enough, to them it doesn't feel so fake. Their actions mirror those of their dreams and deepest desires. So when Caroline excuses herself, Nick and Jess hardly hear her.

"What was that?" The pair asks at the same time.

"I said I'm leaving. I'm going to go home and cook dinner in the hopes that my own boyfriend will return from work."

"Bye Caroline!" Jess shouts. "It was so nice to meet you."

Even Nick who felt something for her moments ago barely looks up. "Yeah. It was good to see you Caroline." He leans in placing another kiss to Jessica's lips. Though he isn't entirely sure why, he kisses her following the urge that just over took him. Caroline storms out unnoticed as the pair continues with lips locked so tight only souls pass through. Winston, Schmidt and Cece cheer them on from their positions in the booth. And even then, the kiss seems never ending.
