December 1998
"You ass! I can't believe you just said that to me!" Jessica fumed. "You leave all your fucking clothes on the floor, keeping the room like a damn pig-sty. I'm not your friggin maid and I will not pick up your shit!"
"You're the one so bothered by it, so YOU pick it up," Nick yelled back, throwing yet another shirt on the floor.
"NO!" Jessica screamed,"You should hired yourself a damn maid and sleep with her, because you're obviously not ready to be in a serious relationship. You're so afraid to make a damn commitment!"
"Yeah if I was afraid to make the fucking commitment, I wouldn't be here with you right now SWEATHEART,"Nick yelled,"You're just paranoid, but that's nothing new."
Jessica's eyes widened in anger,"Go to hell you insensitive, pigheaded, slob!"
"HEY! I am not!"
"Oooh touche!"
"Oh shut up! I'm SO sick of you being sarcastic all the time, is that how you run away from stuff Jessica huh?!"
"NO, it's how I deal with you! And trust me that's a big task!"
"Oh really?? Then how come you ever got together with me in the first place?!"
"I dunno that's a good question!"
"God you're such a bitch!"
"And you're an immature bastard!"
"Immature?! I'm immature?? I don't think so!"
"You don't think? Tell me something I don't know."
"Fuck you!"
"No thanks, I'm not in the mood to be fucking you right now."
Nick's face turned bright red from the anger and he stormed out, slamming the door on the way out.
"UGH! Men!" Jessica screamed then left the room and headed in the opposite direction as Nick.
"Bri,she's really getting on my nerves right now. I can't even look at her without getting completely pissed off,"Nick fumed. Brian smiled.
"What did you do Nick?" he asked.
"ME??? I didn't do anything!"
"Oh come on...what did you do?"
"Nothing!"
"I know how you are, just say it. Say what started the fight," Brian smirked.
Nick sighed then rolled his eyes,"I left my clothes on the floor then she got all pissy and told me to pick them up then I told her that I wouldn't and for her to pick them up."
"BIIIG mistake buddy, you don't act like that around women, especially women who won't take it like Jessica. If you plan on being with her for the rest of your life, then you gotta learn not to be a slob, coz she won't take your shit. Trust me. Been there, done that."
"So then he just storms out!"Jessica said to Kristin and Leighanne.
"Men are such asses sometimes. It's unbelievable,"Leighanne said rolling her eyes. "Brian's been pretty sweet lately, but we've had our battles too. And this is your first fight with Nick as a couple right?"
"Yeah,"Jessica nodded.
"Well let me tell you Jess, the best part of fighting is making up,"Kristin laughed.
Jessica smiled,"Well unless he apologizes to me then the making up isn't gonna be for a looong time coz I don't need to apologize. He started it."
"Jess, sweetie, let me tell you something. Nick's pride is at stake here, and there's nothing worse then when a man's pride is at stake,"Kristin said.
"She's right, and you love him right?" Leighanne said.
"Oh God, definately. He may be a jerk, but he's my jerk,"Jessica smiled.
"Well then the best might be to step up, be the better person, and apologize. And if I did hear this situation right, you did say some pretty mean things to him too,"Leighanne said.
"Yeah you're right, but right now I'm too pissed off to apologize. I will when I'm calmed down,"Jessica replied.
Jessica walked slowly back to the room she was sharing with Nick about an hour later and let herself in. When she walked in the room was completely dark.
"Nick?"she called out suspiciously,"Are you in here?"
Suddenly, slow, soft music started playing.
Jessica couldn't help but smile."Nicky come out come out wherever you are!" She automatically recognized the song as Bryan Adams 'Please Forgive Me'. Her and Nick had listened to this CD a lot since "their song" was on it. Suddenly, a light turned on and Nick stood there with a single rose in his hands and a sheepish grin on his face and he started singing slowly walking towards her,"So if you're feeling lonely, don't, you're the only one I ever want, I only wanna make it good, so if I love you a little more than I show, please forgive me, I know no matter what I do, please forgive me I can't stop loving you, don't deny me, this pain I'm going through, please forgive me, I need you like I do. Please believe me, every word I say is true, please forgive me, I can't stop loving you." After he finished, he stood there expectantly, his blue eyes staring hopefully into hers.
"That was beautiful Nick,"Jessica said softly.
"I'm so sorry Jess, I'm an idiot. I love you. Please forgive me,"Nick said sincerely.
"Of course I will...if you'll forgive me. I can't believe I said the things I said, I was terrible,"Jessica whispered, her eyes tearing.
"Aww baby don't cry,"Nick said pulling her to him lovingly,"We were both mean to eachother."
"What do you say we make up? Someone told me that the best part of fighting is making up,"Jessica smiled.
"Oh yeah,"Nick said, kissing her passionately. He pulled her shirt over her head and kissed down her chest.
"Oh Nick..."Jessica moaned. She weaved her small hands through his dark blond hair, pulling him closer. "I love you so much."
"I love you too,"he said against her lips when she pulled him up. Jessica's fingers found the buttons on his shirt and she quickly undid them, pushing his shirt off him.
"I want you so bad Jess,"Nick groaned as her fingers traced invisible patterns on his chest while her hungry lips kissed him deeply.
"I want you too,"she said, moving her lips to his chest,getting on her knees. Her hand brushed against his hardness and Nick let out a moan.
"I need you Jess, right now,"Nick said desperately, pulling her up leading her to the bed. Jessica threw herself on the bed dramatically.
"Take me now, my love,"she giggled.
Nick smiled then shook his head,"What am I gonna do with you?"
"No the question is what are you gonna do TO me,"Jessica smirked.
"Make love to you for hours,"Nick said.
"Sounds like a plan to me,"Jessica murmured as Nicks lips captured hers.
