Chapter 1
As she pulled away from his lips, he knew that he had finally gotten her. The one that he had thirsted for from the first day he saw her. He had sung to her- Kansas- which was playing on the radio in his parents' car.
"Wow. I didn't like THAT ending." he pouted and smirked at her. Beca. Wow. Just, wow.
Beca and Jesse sauntered out of the auditorium, hand-in-hand, to Jesse's surprise, and into the reception area just outside of the auditorium. She pulled him aside and looked him straight in the face.
"Hey nerd, I'm sorry for everything, for pushing you away and being angry with you for no reason. It really is easier for me that way. Maybe now I finally found a reason to not be so closed," Beca stared at him with her effervescent, blue eyes, "I hope you can forgive me for everything I have put you through this year."
"Bec, you should know by this point how I feel about you. You sang that song for me. I appreciate that. And I love that song. How did you know?" He winked at her. It was so perfect, the way she did it. Of course, The Breakfast Club was his favorite movie, and he did show her the best part of it, the ending.
"Well, if you must know, I watched the whole movie during spring break and loved it. I'm a movie crier. If I get to the end of a movie, I am in tears." She confided in him. He was her best friend, and she was his.
He pulled her in tight with his iron, a cappella grip. He never thought in the year he had known him that she would open up to him even in the slightest way like she just did. He knew from that point on that she would never leave him. He had never been more happy than he was now.
"Beca Mitchell, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" He blurted this line out before he had a chance to do it differently. An eighties song sung in a cappella would have been much more romantic, but he felt like he needed to do it right then.
"Of course, nerd." She stated before pulling him by the neck for a kiss, sealing the deal. For him, this kiss seemed harder to pull away from. It was like all of her feelings flowed through her lips into his. He looped his hands around the small of her back, and he slowly started to lean into her. Now he could depend on her to be there for him because he was there for her, and she knew it.
She pulled away again and smiled at him with her whole face. Her eyes glistened as she looked straight into his. He knew that she genuinely meant her acceptance. He kissed her forehead and looked into her face once again.
"Let's go back in. I think the other teams are done and they can announce a winner." He knew that they had won. Beca's mad-lib beats helped her team pull ahead of the Treblemakers. But The Bellas deserved it.
