Prologue
Author's Note:
Okay, this is my very first time submitting fan fiction where other people can actually read it. Hopefully someone enjoys what I've written. Anyways, this is not intended to be AU, but maybe a deleted story arc with in the movie. I own nothing that seems familiar and I make no money from this. Enjoy!
Beca was in trouble, she realized as she caught herself watching Jesse squat down to lift a particularly heavy box of CDs. She could feel the blood rush to her cheeks as she watched the muscles of his thighs constrict against the denim of his jeans. Fuck, she swore, trying in vain not to notice the way the sleeves of his blue plaid shirt pulled taut over the muscles that she knew-god damnit, now she fucking knew-rippled and chorded over his arms. Working with Jesse had turned into her own special hell...and it was all her goddamn fault. She swallowed hard, trying desperately to control her racing heartbeat. She closed her eyes, hoping that if she couldn't see Jesse moving then she wouldn't be tempted to imagine the way his body moved and looked underneath his clothing, and-good Christ, was there no air conditioning in this damn building?!-maybe she could focus on her work.
And to think, she sighed dejectedly. It all started with trying to help a friend out. How did things get so fucked so fast? Oh yeah...it's all Barden's Building Maintenance's fault...
