Sorry guys, I removed Ray from the story for now, because I mixed up my story when I wrote the threesome. Please read on as this leads to the next chapter. Besides this is short and Sexyness follows. Please give feedback if you guys are ok with the change?
Jess had been avoiding Nick all day. She had made her escape to join Cece at the bar only once she heard him enter his own bedroom. And although she had been a willing participant in last night's affair, witnessing Nick complete while Reagan was riding him was still too much for her to bear; hence the reason why she had taken Cece up on her offer to join her during her shift at the bar. Besides Nick hated coming to the bar on his days off, so she knew she wouldn't run the risk of running into him unless there happened to be an emergency.
But now here she was completely hammered, having been at the Griffin since happy hour, and trying to drown her sorrows away.
It had been pretty slow for a Wednesday evening, so she had spent the majority of her time sitting at the bar sipping on Cece's experimental cocktails. However around 9pm business started to pick up, and Jess decided it was time for her to head home.
"Hey Cece, I'm gonna get going. You're gonna need to call Nick to come help you and I really don't want to run into him tonight."
"Yeah, ok Jess. Do you want me to call you a cab?"
"Nah, I got my cell. Have a good night!"
"Alright, see ya tomorrow!" Cece shouted as she turned to go to the back to call Nick.
"Yeah Cece... just hold the fort. I'll be there in about half an hour, I just need to get cleaned up. Mm... hmm... yep... ok... see ya soon... bye." Nick flipped his phone shut and placed the mug down onto his bedside table. He had been holding onto it for dear life ever since he had found it in Winston's room.
"Oh man, what am I going to do." Nick exhaled running his hand down his face before heading to the washroom to get ready.
As he trimmed his scruff and brushed his teeth, he contemplated about whether or not he should leave the mug out for Jess to find or if he should just hold on to it a bit longer.
By the time he returned to his room, he had made up his mind and retrieved the mug from his nightstand. "Fuck it, I'm just going to put it out and see what happens." Nick whispered to himself. Now that reality was beckoning him and the more he thought about what he should do, the more he realized it was best to just go for it.
So before he headed out the door of the loft he placed it on the communal bookshelf between the kitchen and entrance way. He really hoped that she would see it there later this evening and then just maybe, they would be able to hash things out and discuss where they were headed and what they really meant to each other.
It was a short cab ride back home, so Jess decided to go wait in her parked car until she saw Nick leave for the bar. Once his little red car drove off, she knew it was safe to return to the loft.
The loft was empty when she got in. She was pretty sure Schmidt had gone to help Nick and Cece out at the bar, so she decided to make herself a hard drink and watch a movie; besides she still had a couple more days off until the new school year began.
As she approached the shared bookshelf, which encased some of her favorite films, she noticed the green mug. "What the hell!" Jess rasped as she picked up the mug and gave it a thorough inspection.
"Unbelievable! What a fucking Jackass!" Jess hollered. She couldn't believe the gall he had for putting this out. She had an inkling that he had kept it; but for him to put it out after two years, and while he had a girlfriend living under the same roof no less, was just brazen boldness.
"That's what I think of you and your stupid sex mug, Miller!" Jess declared as she threw the mug into the trash can.
Jess scanned her selection of movies and decided upon Cocktail with Tom Cruise and moved over to the living room with her Jack Daniels and Coke.
As she sat and watched the movie, her mind kept wandering back over to the trash can in the kitchen.
"Stupid Nick Miller!" Jess exclaimed when she eventually got up and retrieved the mug from the garbage. He always managed to get to her even when he wasn't in her presence. And to be honest her choice of movie for the evening was not helping her conscious effort to try and ignore his bold attempt to entice her.
