Chapter 54:
Jessica's POV:
When I woke up, I was confused where I was at. When I looked around, I remembered what happened last night and smiled to myself. That was the best nights sleep I have had in a long time.
"Good morning, beautiful." I felt pressure on the bed and turned so I faced the rest of the room. Nick was sitting on the end of the bed, putting his socks on.
"Good morning." I yawned and stretched. "What time is it?"
"About 10:30." Nick replied.
"I should probably get showered." I said as I got up and headed to my room. I got my clothes out of my closet, and went to the bathroom.
I was the last one to shower so I didn't have to worry about hurrying so the next person could shower.
When I finished, I asked Sami if she wanted to go for a walk. She was reluctant at first, but quickly changed her mind when I told her I had something to talk to her about.
"Don't take too long." Nick said as we left. "I had some special plans for today."
"We won't be too long. We'll just go around a couple blocks."
"What did you want to talk about?" Sami asked as soon as we were outside.
I thought for a moment about how to phrase it. "Last night, I slept with Nick." Sami gasped. That wasn't the right way to say it.
"I don't mean I slept with him. I couldn't sleep last night and I went to you first, but you were rude, so I went to Nick and he let me sleep in his bed with him. That's all we did though, nothing else."
Sami looked at me doubtful. "Yeah sure. Nothing else." She said, sarcastically.
"I mean it." I knew she was joking, but I liked to give her a hard time. "I wasn't ready to do something so intimate with him yet." I added, being more serious now.
"You weren't ready? Does that mean you are now?" Sami asked, partly joking but mostly serious.
"I don't know. I know I love him and I know he loves me. I don't even know if he is ready for that either." I replied.
"You should just talk to him about it." Sami suggested. "It won't be awkward if you guys love each other."
"But it will be awkward because I'll make it awkward." I stopped walking.
"Then don't." Sami stopped a little ahead of me and put her hand on my shoulder. "It's going to be fine. Don't stress too much about it."
'That's not possible.' I thought to myself. 'Because my stomach is already in knots just thinking about it.'
