This is a very short chapter just to keep things moving along. BTW the next chapter is going to be extremely explicit, so this is fair warning.
Jess arrived at the clinic shortly just past noon. After she had left the bar, she rushed home, quickly freshened up and got changed.
Cece was sitting in the waiting room when she came bumbling in through the clinic door and began searching the room for her friend.
"I'm over here Jess." Cece said nonchalantly.
Jess ran over and crouched down to her friend's eye level, greeting her while trying to balance herself on Cece's knee and clutching her purse, "Hey Hun, I'm so sorry."
"I'm sure you are." Cece gave Jess a knowing smirk.
"So have you seen Sadie yet?" Jess inquired.
"Yep, I was just waiting for you to get here." Cece responded with bated breath.
A rush of guilt washed over Jess, "Cece, I'm really sorry that I wasn't here earlier, I know how nervous you have been."
"Seriously Jess, it's fine, it was actually no big deal and Sadie was there. Besides, I'm kinda glad you were with Nick. It's about time you told him how you feel."
Trying to deflect Cece from prodding further, Jess stood up and smoothed down her dress, "So, umm, when do you expect to get your results?"
"It can take anywhere from 3 to 48 hours. Sadie promised to give me a call as soon as she receives them."
"Alright, well do you want to head back home..."
"You're not getting off that easy, I want details Jess. And aside from that, I need to keep my mind off of things. Why don't we go to lunch and then do some shopping, I'm sure you need some back to school clothes and maybe some sexy underwear." Cece winked at Jess.
"Cece!" Jess exclaimed as she smacked her friend on the shoulder. "I will give you details, but we got to get out of here." Jess shyly looked over her shoulder at an older women that was sitting across from them and who was clearly eaves dropping on their conversation.
Jess sat across from Cece at the local cafe, surrounded by shopping bags, aimlessly stirring her frozen Caramel Frappucino.
"Wow, Jess! What did I tell you. That boy yearns for you." Cece glared at Jess as she took a long draw from her frozen raspberry banana smoothie.
"I know you're right Ceec, the whole experience was absolutely mind blowing and yet so intimate; And we didn't even have sex." Jess modestly whispered the last bit as she recollected everything that had transpired in the previous 24 hours.
"I'm almost jealous, I mean don't get me wrong, sex has always been great with Schmidt, but I can't ever recall a time when he got me off by only touching me, let alone not even kissing me."
"Stop it Cece!" Jess giggled as she swatted at her friend's hand.
"I'm just saying, Nick's got skills. And if I were you I'd go talk to him tonight, before Miss Floozy tries to spoil things for you."
"I'll see. Nick's working tonight and I really don't want to run into you know who, so I was thinking about locking myself in my room and going to bed early. Besides he asked me to go to breakfast with him tomorrow."
"Well tell you what, how about we head home now, that way you can settle in before Miss Thang gets home."
"Alright that sounds like a plan."
"I gotta say Jess, I'm impressed." Cece proclaimed as she stood up and pushed her chair in. "I normally wouldn't condone cheating, but clearly the two of you belong together and if this is how you got to go about getting him back, so be it."
Grinning from ear to ear, Jess bent down to gather her bags. "And you know what Cece, I don't even feel guilty about it, I just feel excited."
