Here's a new chapter, not a repeat. Hope you like it :) Sorry I didn't get to respond to any of the reviews like I usually do, it's been a busy, insane weekend for me.


Chapter Two


"Let's move back to Atlanta, or to New York," Beca moaned as she stood in front of the fan, attempting to cool down. "Maybe Iceland. Is it cold there?"

"Hell is probably colder than LA right now," Jesse said, pulling off his t-shirt that was soaked with sweat. "I wish public nudity wasn't frowned upon."

"Why is our AC broken, Swanson? You said you'd get it fixed."

"I called, no one showed up. Stop hogging the air, woman," he said, pulling her away from the fan. "God, it's even too disgusting to do anything fun."

"Like sex?" she said and he nodded. "Ugh, don't even think about touching me, nerd. The thought of being that close to you makes me want to pass out from heatstroke."

"I'm so bored," he groaned. "It's like the whole city shuts down during this time."

"New York is the city that never sleeps, darling," Beca rolled her eyes. "LA is the city that melts in fucking August."

"What can we do?"

"Melt."

"We could go to a water park and cool down there."

"I'd rather play in the bathtub than stand in line at a water park, surrounded by hot, sweaty people who are wearing bathing suits they should not be wearing just to go on a water slide for two seconds."

"Amusement park?"

"Even worse than a water park."

"Beach?"

"We'll die."

"Do an illegal activity and if we get caught, blame it on the heat?"

"No," she sighed as she lay down on the bed, thinking of cold places to try to cool down.

"Did Beca Mitchell just say no to doing something illegal?" Jesse said, gasping. "The heat has done something to you."

"Shut up, nerd," she said, smiling a bit because she didn't have the energy to laugh. "Can you control yourself?"

"What have I done?"

"No, idiot," she rolled her eyes. "I'm asking because I seriously need to take my clothes off right now, and we are not having sex."

"Fine, strip away," he said. "We could watch a movie."

"I guess that's our only option," she said as she threw her clothes in the hamper, walking around in just her bra and underwear now. "What's next on your list?"

"Fast and Furious series," he said with a huge grin. "We'll start with one and end with the early release of the sixth one I got at work. Best job ever."

"I hate that you get early releases," she groaned as she walked into the kitchen, opening the freezer and enjoying how nice the coldness felt on her skin. "The amount of movies you're going to make me watch is going to become more out of control."

"Oh, it's totally in control," he said, reaching into the freezer to get two ice pops for them.

"Your movie obsession is out of hand and needs to be dealt with," she said, taking an ice pop from him and walking over to the couch.

"We should get ice cream," Jesse said as he finished his ice pop.

"That means I have to get dressed."

"It'll be cool in there, and we can eat ice cream. And then come home and get naked again."

"Fine," she sighed, getting up. "I definitely can't go out like this, right?"

"As much as I would enjoy that, I can't afford to bail you out, and last time when I called your dad you got mad at me," he said with a smirk.


"It's packed, Jesse," she groaned as they walked over to the ice cream shop that was a few blocks away from their apartment.

"Flatbutt! Flatbutt's other half," Fat Amy called out from the table she was sitting at. "Over here."

"Of course you're in here," Beca said as she sat down. "Where's the gnome?"

"On line with Stacie and Donald getting ice cream," she said as she shoved her spoon in the giant sundae that was in front of her.

"You mean that's all for you?" Jesse asked in amazement.

"How long have we known each other, Treble?"

"Right, right," he said. "Stupid question. I'm going to go get on line with them. Becs, the usual?"

"Thanks," she said, stealing Amy's spoon and taking a bite of her ice cream. "So good."

"Get your own," Amy said, violently pulling the spoon out of her hand.

"Jules, look who it is," Chloe said as she walked over to Amy and Beca. "It's Auntie Beca and Auntie Amy!"

"I think she wants to go head first into Amy's sundae," Beca said as she laughed at the happy expression Juliette had as she stared at the ice cream. "Gimme my goddaughter."

"Where's Jesse?" Chloe asked as she passed over Juliette and sat down.

"Getting ice cream," she said as she bounced the little girl on her knee a bit. "It's too hot to do anything. I can't take it."

"That's what AC is for," Amy said. "We don't live in the stone age. I know prison was lacking a lot of things, but we got you out."

"Shut up, Amy," Beca said. "Our AC is broken and the guy hasn't shown up to fix it. I'm dying."

"I would have you come by me, but the in-laws are in," Chloe said, rolling her eyes a bit. "There's only so much of my mother-in-law that I can take."

"She's not too fond of me after my wedding speech," Beca said.

"You could come stay with Bumper and me. We're wrestling tonight."

"I'll sweat it out with Jesse, thanks," Beca said, shaking her head at Amy. "Maybe it'll cool down by tonight."

"Chloe, why is my daughter covered in ice cream," Josh said as he walked over to the table with a small Dixie cup for Juliette.

"Uh oh," Beca said, not realizing that the squirmy one year old had actually face planted in Amy's sundae and became the happiest little girl in the world. "Well, I guess that's one way to cool down."


"Clothes are coming off," Beca said as they got back to their hot, muggy apartment. "Can't do this anymore."

"The weatherman said it's supposed to rain soon, which should cool everything down," Jesse said as he peeled off his shirt. "Get naked then come back here, we have movies to watch."

"Fine," she sighed as she gathered their clothes to put them in the hamper. "Let's get this over with."

They were halfway through the fourth Fast and Furious movie when the TV shut off, the fans stopped working, and the lights went out.

"Shit," Jesse swore he grabbed the remote. "I think the powers out."

"You don't say," Beca said sarcastically.

"Wait right here," he said, but she wouldn't let him get up.

"Jesse, I hate the dark," Beca said, moving closer to him even though every fiber in her being wanted to be as far away as possible because it was too damn hot.

"I know," he said, wrapping his arm around her and kissing her slightly sweaty forehead. "It'll be okay."

"We'll set the apartment on fire if we light candles, so that's out of the question."

"I have just the thing," he said, getting up from the couch. "I'll be right back. Okay?"

"Okay," she said.

He walked down the small hallway to the closet, swearing as he walked into multiple objects. Beca heard a couple things crashing and some more cursing before she could see Jesse. He found the lanterns they had stocked up on from the hardware store. She laughed at him for buying so many, but now she couldn't be more grateful.

"Let there be light," he said as he placed one of the lanterns on the coffee table. "We have enough to decently light up the entire apartment. We'll be fine."

"We just have to worry about not melting," she said.

"Come here," he said, reaching his hand out and pulling her up from the couch. "Dance with me."

"What?" she said, laughing a bit at his randomness.

"You heard me," he said, taking her hand in his and placing his other hand on her waist as he began to sway them to some imaginary music he was making up in his head. "What else are we going to do?"

"Not this," she said, but going along with it anyway. "You're insane, there's no music."

"I'm a composer, remember? There's always music in my head," he said as he began to hum a melody.

"At least it's music and not voices."

"Those are there too," he joked.

"You really are insane."

"Completely insane," he agreed. "You're dating a crazy person, though. That makes you just as insane."

"That's good," she laughed. "We're that crazy couple."

"It's catchy."

"I'm so glad you convinced me to move in with you," she sighed, placing her head on his chest. "If you didn't, I'd be alone in my apartment freaking out."

"You wouldn't be alone," he shook his head. "Because I would either be there, or you'd be at mine, or I'd go to great lengths to get to you. Like maybe zip-line over the whole city or find a radioactive spider and become Spiderman. Anything that would get me to you."

"You really are crazy," she said.

"Crazy about you."

"That was corny," she laughed softly.

"Another reason why you love me."

"Yeah, just add it to list."


Hope you all liked this chapter. The next chapter might not be up so quickly because 1) I don't have it finished and 2) I'm getting surgery and will be out of it for a couple of days. I have the concept of the chapter, so it shouldn't take me too long, but probably longer than usual.

I'm also working on a new story as well, randomly writing stuff as it comes to mind. It shouldn't take too long to get out, but I want to have a majority of the chapters done before I post it. It's based off two movies, which I'm going to keep as a surprise, but if anyone wants to guess, feel free lol. I'm kinda curious to see what you all think I would write from. I won't say who guess right though until I'm ready to post the story. I know, I'm mean lol.

Let me know what you thought of this chapter, thanks :)
