"So, I brought this because I want to watch you watch the end of this movie." In his right hand he held up a DVD. It was The Breakfast Club. I remembered the cover from when he brought it out to the field. "And then I can die a hero." He added. I guessed he really did take that 'moviecation' seriously. He's such a dork. I watch as he grabs his laptop and starts to make himself comfortable on the bed, fluffing up pillows and what not. I smile slightly at the sight of Jesse. He was kind of… cute. My eyes grow a bit wider at my own thoughts. Was I beginning to grow fond of this boy? This cd-stacking nerd? He had that something with his brown eyes and his goofy grin. Oh my god, Beca, what are you thinking? It's Jesse! And I took an oath… not that I really care about that shit.
"You have a habit of making yourself at home, do you know that?" I grinned.
Jesse looked up at me. "Yeah." He signaled me to come over to the bed and I obliged. I went to sit next to him on my bed and made myself as comfortable as possible. I just couldn't relax fully, as I was so conscious of sitting next to him. I could smell his cologne and I felt our arms leaning on to each other while we were both looking at his laptop. I sigh lightly as the end of The Breakfast Club starts playing.
"It's both equally sad and beautiful." Jesse said.
"That's interesting." I said half-heartedly. I didn't really understand what he was saying. "So, tell me, what does Jed Nelson eat for breakfast?"
"Well, like all misunderstood rebels, he feeds on hypocrisy."
"Sure." I said softly and nodded a bit.
"And black coffee to help with his morning dump."
My face broke into a huge smile as I heard his joke. "You're an idiot."
"It's true. I'm full of fun facts." Our eyes were still focused on the screen.
"You should let other people tell you they're fun." I eyes shifted from the screen to Jesse. When I wanted to look back at the movie, my eyes didn't listen. I kept staring at the boy sitting next to me. I was studying his features as he mouthed along with the words in the movie. "You're missing the ending." He suddenly said and I flinched before looking back at the screen. "Sorry." I said quickly. As I watch again, I feel eyes fixated on me. Jesse was staring, I could feel it. As much as it made me uncomfortable, I liked that he was looking at me. I couldn't help but wonder if he was interested in me? As much as I tried to keep my eyes fixated on the movie, I just had to look at Jesse for just a second. My eyes shifted to him and eventually they stayed there. I looked into his brown eyes and melted just a bit. Beca, this isn't you. This is too sappy. I then saw his eyes move down to my lips and back to my eyes. He moved in a bit closer and I panicked. I knew what he was planning to do and even though he had amazing timing, I couldn't do it. After he moved in a bit more. I turned my face back to the screen and hit the spacebar to pause the movie.
"You didn't like it?" Jesse asked. I could hear that he was slightly disappointed. I didn't know if it was because I paused it or because his attempt of kissing me failed.
"Ye-Yeah, I did. It's good." I turned back at him and showed a smile. "It's just that I uh…"
"You what?"
"Nothing, never mind." I stood up from the bed. "Want a drink? There's, like, a lot from before."
"Sure, why not." Jesse shrugged and I grabbed a bottle of Vodka and some Energy drink. "Wow. You're a vodka girl?"
"I like it wild." I grinned and poured him some vodka and added the Energy drink. "And this is really good." I also poured myself some and went to sit beside Jesse again. I put the laptop on the floor since it took a lot of space. "Cheers." I raised my glass and Jesse followed my lead. "To the aca-life." He added.
