Thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed, favourited and read this story thus far. I don't own Pitch Perfect. If I did I would have made Pitch Perfect 2 already. Please review and let me know what you think.
Legs folded she sat on the grass underneath the tree that Jesse had deemed as theirs. Placing her head phones over her ears she turned the music up. It pulsed through her body washing away the stress of her first year at Barden like a balm healing her. She knew that it sounded ridiculous but that was how music made her feel. Happy with the down beat that she had added she saved the mix and closed her laptop. Just as she removed the head phones she heard someone shout her name.
"Becaaaw!" There were a few seconds of silence. "Becaw!" She shook her head knowing exactly who is was. Trapsing across the lawn with satchel and a paper bag in hand was Jesse. It had been two weeks since they had kissed. Now that ICCA's were over they spent as much time together as they could and strangely enough Beca didn't seem to mind. She liked it in fact.
"Hey." He smiled down at her before sitting next to her.
"Hi. I'm not a bird by the way."
He frowned at her.
Rolling her eyes she explained. "Becaw."
He laughed. "Sorry but hearing Becaw saying Becaw has literally made my day."
"I thought spending time with me would make your day?" She asked in faux innocence.
"It would be a close second." He nodded solemnly.
Beca punched his shoulder.
"Wow you are really are making a habit of that." He rubbed his arm.
Beca shrugged. "It's like an addiction."
Slowly he shifted forward so his face was right in front of her. "You're my addiction."
Beca leaned even closer. 'You're sooo cheesy babe." She froze. She'd never called him that before.
"Babe huh. Can I call you snookems?"
"No."
"Honey bunny?"
She frowned. "No way."
"My boo?"
"Really?"
Jesse sighed. "Well I guess we are back to Becaw."
Looking over at Jesse she couldn't help but smile. "What's in the paper bag?"
"Well." He opened it and began to rummage. "Reeses pieces, Pringles." He continued to scour the contents of the bag. "Hershey bars and juice pouches." He handed her one.
"How are you not fat?"
Jesse shrugged. "I have a high metabolism."
"All that food will catch up with you ya know."
Ripping open the Hersheys wrapper he took a huge bite. "Not gonna happen."
"Don't say I didn't warn you." She sing songed. "So what's the point of all this food anyway? Moving away from your usual choice of popcorn for movication?" She smiled wickedly.
"Nope." He popped the p. "No movication tonight." He threw a joice pouch at her.
Beca gasped in mock horror and then opened her juice pouch.
"Tonight I am going to take you on a date." He smiled enthusiastically.
"Why?"
"Because I want to." He replied as though it was the most obvious answer in the world.
She stared at him clearly still confused.
"Look Beca." He turned to face her. "We have been seeing each other for two weeks now. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't take you out on a date every once and a while?"
"Ah you'd be every other guy I never dated."
Jesse was shocked. "Seriously."
She nodded.
"What kind of guys did you date?"
"Brooding ones."
Jesse pouted. "I can be brooding."
"No you can't. That's one of the many things I like about you."
"Really." Scooting closer he batted his eyelashes at her. "What else do you like about me?"
She couldn't stop the giggle that escapoed her lips. "So about this date."
Jesse pulled back. "Oh I see how it is. No, no it's okay. I'll be okay." Clearing his throat he decided to answer her question. "There's this amazing pizza place that does authentic pizza..."
Beca stopped listening and just watched as his face light up. His eyes widened and his arms gestured wildly. A few minutes later Becas noticed he was staring at her.
"Beca?"
She shook her head. "Sorry I was just."
"Staring. I get it." He ran hos had down his chest. "I mean I'd stare at me too."
She rolled her eyes. "So what time is this date thing taking palce?"
"This date thing will begin at 7pm." Placing a Hershey bar in her lap he kissed her, stood up and left. "I'll pick you up." He shouted as he walked away.
As he walked towards his dorm room he couldn't help but think about how far they had come. Sure Beca wasn't one of those girls who clung to her boyfriend and she still made fum of him but that's what he liked about her. Well one of the many things he liked about her. He had started making a list only to realise half way through that he wasn't a girl. The list was promptly disposed of. Walking into his dorm room he saw Benji practising one of his magic tricks.
"Oh hey Jesse."
"Hey man." Jesse dropped his bag on his bed.
Benji stopped shuffling the cards in his hands. "Hey some of the Trebles are hanging out
tonight. You wanna come?"
Jesse shook his head,. "Nah. I have a date with Beca."
The novice magician smiled wildly. "First date? Finally."
Jesse couldn't help but laugh. "You sound more excited than I am."
"Just happy for you."
"Thanks man." Picking up his towel and body wash Jesse headed to the showers.
Beca left the quad not long after Jesse had. She'd freaked out a little when Jesse mentioned a date. She'd never gone on a date with anyone. Driving around in her ex-boyfreiends car was not a date. Logically she knew that she had no reason to freak out. Logically she knew. This was Jesse, her Jesse. The dork who loved movies and wanted to score them when he grew up. The guy who was in awe every time he heard one of her new mixes. Shaking her head she hiked her laptop bag further up her shoulder and sped up her steps towards her room.
Returning to his room after his shower Jesse noticed that he had a text message. Swiping his thumb along the screen to unlock it he read the text.
If I cared about this date what would I wear?
Smiling he shot back a reply.
Admit you care and I'll tell you.
Tossing his phone on his bed he began to get ready. As he began to pull on his shirt his phone went off once again.
Of course I care. Sooo what should I wear?
He replied.
You know that rhymed right?
A reply came almost straight away.
JESSE!
Okay. Wear something comfy. Just wear what you normally do.
When Jesse got no reply he continued getting ready.
There was a knock on her door at exactly 7pm.
Beca rolled her eyes. "He's always on time." Scanning the room to make sure that she had everything she walked to the door and opened it.
Jesse couldn't help but stare. She was wearing those jeans she wore at the ICCA's, black chucks, a white, long sleeved under shirt and red button down. "Wow." He looked her up and down. "You look beautiful."
"You look really good too." And he did. With is dark blue jeans, white sneakers and a black graphic tee that seemed like it was a little too tight. Beca found herself wondering what he'd look like without the shirt.
Despite what Amy and the rest of the Bellas thought she and Jesse hadn't had sex yet.
"You ready to go?"
She looked up at him. "Huh? Oh yeah. Let's go Romeo." Grabbing his hand she closed the door with her other hand and they were off.
Let me know what you thought. Thanks for reading, Hopefully chapter 3 will be up soon.
