Back at Barden Chapter 2
A few days had past since the awkwardness at the restaurant. Bella rehearsals were getting better and by better they had all decided on a set list for regionals. Regionals weren't until mid November but being prepared is very important. Bella rehearsals had finished and Beca and Jesse had made plans to go out on a real date. Beca insisted that she didn't want anything fussy or romantic but Jesse was not letting her get away from it.
It was a Friday evening and Beca was getting ready for this said date. She really didn't know what to wear. She asked Amy but she was no help. She said that the more revealing the better but Beca wasn't the type of girl that wanted to ogled by men. In the end Beca slipped on some black jeans and flowy shirt with black heeled boots.
"Sooo Beca, what's the plan for you and Jesse tonight?" Fat Amy asked while winking at Beca.
"Jesse and I are going to watch a movie and then for dinner." Beca said while gathering her belonging and tossing them into a purse.
"That's all?" Amy said. You could clearly tell she was trying to get at something but Beca looked past it as she didn't want it brought up. "Come on Becs, I'm dying to know the intimate details!"
"Yeah well you're not going to get any." Beca says while straightening her jacket. Beca felt extremely nervous about this date. She'd been on one before but it was with a guy that she wasn't interested in. She didn't want to screw it up like usual. She didn't like letting people in but Jesse had wormed his way in so she had no choice to let him se the real her. In fact that terrified her, the thought of someone knowing everything about you.
Beca met Jesse out by the gates of barden. The movie was down the road and the restaurant they weer going to was just opposite which was very convenient. They got their seats and were all settled down. Beca had opted out of snacks because she didn't want to be full for dinner afterwards. Jesse on the other hand had gone all out with popcorn, gummy bears, strawberry laces and a large Coca Cola. Jesse didn't care if he was too full for food as he said that you cannot watch a movie without a bazillion amount of snacks.
Around halfway through the movie Jesse had decided to put his arm around Beca. This made her tense up. Jesse felt this but kept his arm there. He thought that she needed to get used to this coupling thing and this was a simple yet romantic gesture.
The movie had finished and Beca and Jesse left. Due to the fact that Jesse managed to drink the entire large Coca Cola he had to use the restroom before actually leaving for dinner. Beca stood and waited for him. She could see a group of around 5 boys walking in her direction. They were shouting all sorts. This made her tense up. There was something about seeing a group 'rough' boys that made her anxious. She knew they weer going to say something to her. 'Hurry up Jesse.' She thought to herself.
"What's a smoking hot girl like you standing all alone on this fine night?" One of them asked while touching her face and down her arm.
"Get off me you creep!" While pushing of their hand with such force. "Go crawl back into the hole you came out of!" anger was rising in her and she isn't one to put down a fight. She clenched her fists.
"Oooh a feisty one." Another one said. They al began laughing and getting closer and closer.
"Hey Bec you should-" Jesse was cut off when he was what was going on. "HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! Leave her alone!" Jesse wasn't one for confrontation or fighting but he didn't want anything to happen to Beca.
The boys backed off and one of them muttered something like 'we could've had some fun.'
"Beca are you okay?" Jesse asked while holding her tight. "Did they hurt you?" He was started to seriously panic.
"Yeah I'm fine." She replied.
"Beca you don't have to put on a brave face in front of me."?
"Honestly Jesse I'm fine. I can stick up for myself. Remember I got arrested for punching a guy and breaking a window." She said trying to make a joke to loosen the tension. "Jess I'm okay."
"Promise?"
"I Promise." She was bold and kissed him just as a reassurance. It was the truth she was okay but there was something in her that sparked fear. Yes she was strong and could stick up for herself but she was outnumbered big time
They got to the restaurant. It was Italian and that was Jesse's favourite type of food. They sat down at the tabled that was reserved specifically for them. Beca was aware that she was being quiet but she didn't really feel like talking.
"Beca, you're clearly not okay. We can back if you want." Jesse said full of concern. "Please stop shutting me out."
"It just freaked me a little they could've done anything with me, but honestly I'm fine I'll get over it."
Beca knew that she had to prove that she was okay so she decided to start a conversation. "So have you figured out your set list for regionals?"
"No we still a little indecisive and its stressing me kind of. I mean if we want to win we need to have a kick ass arrangement but we don't have that yet." Jesse said sighing. "What about you?"
"We have all decided on a set list now its just getting the performance perfected then we should be good."
"How's Alice settling in?" Jesse was completely oblivious that there was tension between her and Beca and Amy made it worse.
"She's doing great." Beca wasn't sure what to say but she couldn't talk bad a bout Alice who technically hasn't done anything but had a 'toner' for Jesse.
Beca changed the subject on to school work. Beca knew that if she wanted to stay a Bella then she had to work hard.
"So what happened to your plans about moving to LA?" Jesse asked. He already knew what she was going to say but he wanted her to say it.
"Well as you are aware, I helped the Bellas win the ICCAs so obviously I had to stay and fulfil my duty of a Bella woman."
"Yeah and…" Jesse really wanted her to say that she stay for him. Beca knew what he was doing and it again made her uncomfortable she wasn't good at the mushy stuff.
"Annnnnd there's this really cute guy in my philosophy class his name's Josh and he plays football. So I was determined to sit next t him this year and maybe, I dunno get his number and hook up with him." Beca said in the girliest voice possible while making a joke out of this situation.
"I've got competition, I see." Jesse laughed. He still wanted her to say that she said for him but he thought this was better than nothing.
Her heart was racing she really wanted to tell him that she stayed for him but she wasn't mushy and didn't want his ego to get any bigger than it already was.
They walked back to campus hand in hand. Jesse dropped Beca off at her dorm.
"Sorry that tonight didn't go as well as planned but-" Jesse was cut off by Beca pressing her lips against his.
They pulled apart and Beca said "Don't worry, I enjoyed to good parts of tonight. It sucks that those dumb boys ruined it but that's okay and I'm okay."
They kissed one last time but they kept deepening it. If Amy was in Beca's room then there would be a completely different outcome to this.
"BECA!" Fat Amy flew open the door."I thought you were out here"
"Were you spying on us?" Beca asked, arms crossed.
"Uh noooooo." The three of them stood in awkward silence.
"Uh, I'd better go. See ya tomorrow Becs." Jesse said then kissed her on the cheek. He knew this would embarrass her. She felt her cheeks go slightly pink. Once Jesse had walked around the corner Fat Amy pulled Beca into their room. To her surprise Chloe and Stacie were already there. Chloe was reading a magazine and Stacie and was painting her nails.
Chloe stood up and said very excitedly "Tell us everything."
"Yeah was he good. He seems like he'd be good-" Beca cut Stacie off.
"What are talking about and why are you here?" beca was so confused now.
"Amy said that you and Jesse were 'doing it' tonight" Stacie said while doing physical quote marks with her fingers.
"We went out for a move then dinner nothing else happened! Now I'd much appreciate it if you left as I'm exhausted." Beca didn't mean to snap but she was sick of the girls constantly talking about her relationship.
