Chapter Four

"It's so sad that he's dead," Beca said as Jesse closed his laptop and placed it on her desk. They had just finished watching The Dark Knight because Beca had admitted she had a thing for Batman.

"I know, he was a talented actor," Jesse said. "He won an Oscar posthumously for Best Supporting Actor."

"And so cute. Such a shame that face won't be seen anymore."

"That too," he said, rolling his eyes. He laid down on her bed and pulled her down along with him. "I have to say, I do miss Kimmy Jin."

"Ah, yes. Her cold glare every time I walked into my room was something I looked forward to every day," Beca said.

"She had awesome timing, too," Jesse said, thinking back to his and Beca's almost kiss when they watched The Breakfast Club for the first time together.

"It's so much nicer having my own room," Beca sighed as she sat down at her desk and opened her laptop to work on her music.

"Yeah, especially since Benji has a girlfriend now. Wouldn't want to walk in on that," Jesse said and cringed.

"He definitely sounds like Chewbacca if they have sex," Beca laughed.

"You just made a movie reference," Jesse said excitedly. "I've broken you!"

"Oh, shut up, nerd," she said, rolling her eyes but smiling. "You're distracting me."

"I'm allowed to distract you, I'm your boyfriend."

"Right."

"Whatcha mixing?" he asked, scooting to the end of her bed to take a look.

"I'm not sure yet," she shrugged. "I was considering moving away from the faster songs for regionals."

"Did the Trebles version of Eternal Flame inspire you?"

"Oh definitely," she laughed. "You guys really got that song down. You should perform those songs at regionals."

"I'll take it up with the boys. I'm sure they'll go for it."

"You have to do the choreography too."

"Of course, wouldn't dream of singing that song without it," Jesse said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Anyway, you are the enemy. I shouldn't be discussing official Bella business with you," Beca said with a smirk.

"You're right. I am the leader after all. I could steal all your ideas."

"And face the wrath of Fat Amy and Noelle."

"They're scary together," Jesse said with a shiver. "I mean, you still scare me, but not as much as they do."

"They make quite a team. They get shit done," Beca said with a nod as she put her headphones around her neck. "You really are super distracting, you know."

"I'll leave if you want me to," he said, not making any moves to leave.

"I really should do some homework before my dad gets on my ass again about my grades," Beca sighed. "Wanna do homework together?"

"Sure," he said with a smile as he opened his laptop up again. "We have to do homework together on the bed."

"That sounds like some sick role play," Fat Amy said as she walked into Beca's room. "Can I watch?"

"Gross," Beca said as she grabbed her laptop and climbed back onto her bed with Jesse. "We're actually doing homework."

"Boring," Fat Amy yawned. "I'm bored."

"Where's Noelle?"

"In class. Cassie's hiding in her room to avoid any hilariously awkward run-ins with Jesse, and Laci's with Benji. I knocked on Stacie's door, but walked away when I heard the moans. Lily might be home, I really don't even know."

"You'd watch me and Jesse but not Stacie and Donald?"

"You stay so quiet about your dirty little bedroom secrets," Fat Amy huffed in annoyance. "Stacie tells everyone, so I don't need to watch. Who knows if you two even have sex? I don't even know how big his penis is. That's very disappointing, Beca. I thought we were friends."

"That's what girls talk about?" Jesse asked, shock written all over his face.

"These girls apparently do," Beca shrugged as she began to research her topic for her paper. "I never had girl friends before the Bellas, so I just assumed it's normal."

"If you think it's normal, why I don't know how he is in bed?" Fat Amy asked.

"Just because I assume it's normal, doesn't mean I want to tell everyone everything," Beca said.

"You have a small pee-pee, don't you? It's okay, don't be embarrassed."

"Hey!" Jesse said defensively. "I do not. I think it's a nice size."

"He's hung like a horse," Beca deadpanned. "That good enough for today?"

"Sure. I'll just be left to my own imagination then," Fat Amy said as she looked Jesse up and down before getting up and leaving, but then she stopped and turned around. "Forgot. This came in the mail."

"What is it?" Beca asked as she looked at the large, white enveloped.

"Wedding invitation," she said before leaving.

"Well now that I feel emasculated," Jesse said, making Beca laugh as she placed the envelope on the side. "This is a daily conversation in this house?"

"Of course," Beca said. "Don't look at me like that. I'm sure every one of the Trebles' has talked about some girls' boobs or ass. It's the same thing."

"What do you tell them to get them to stop asking you questions?"

"That we try out every sexual act in Fifty Shades of Grey. That seems to shut them up."

"That's a good idea," Jesse laughed as he wrapped his arm around Beca and pulled her closer to him. She snuggled into his chest and sighed as she got comfortable. She loved being with him like this, she knew she was crazy for all those months she kept rejecting him.

"Let's get this homework over with," she said as she reluctantly moved away from his warm embrace. "We got a riff-off tonight. Hope you're prepared."

"The Trebles will rise from the ashes tonight," Jesse said confidently.

"Wanna make a bet?"

"Oh no. For all I know, if you win I'd have to show little Jesse to all the Bellas," Jesse said, causing Beca to laugh. "I'm serious. I'm aware of your devious mind, Beca Mitchell."

"I wouldn't bet that. No one has to see that but me," she said and reached over to kiss him. "How about the winner has to pick a song to include in the mix for regionals. Nothing that would be impossible, because that's just mean."

"Interesting," Jesse said, considering the proposal. "However, the boys might kill me if I risked regionals because I always lose when it comes to you."

"Hm," she said, thinking of a less important but just as humiliating event. "Halloween mixer at the end of the month."

"I could go for that."

"Interested now?"

"Possibly," he said. "Halloween could be very interesting."

"Oh yes."

"Shake on it?" he asked as he stuck his hand out. Beca took it and he pulled her closer for a kiss. "What about homework?"

"It can wait," she said as she moved both their laptops and pushed him down on the bed so she could lie on top of him. The invitation fell on the floor, reminding Beca to open it.

"Homework could wait, but opening an invitation can't?" Jesse said as he sat back up on the bed.

"It's from Chloe, I wanna see it," Beca said as she opened it.

The invitation was simple, but extremely pretty. Blue flowers were painting on the top of the invitation and underneath them announced the wedding of Chloe Beale and Josh Tucker.

"She's getting married in June," Beca said. Jesse handed her the folded piece of paper that fell out of the envelope when she pulled out the invitation. "It says to call her once I open the invite."

"Beca! You got the invitation?" Chloe said once she picked up her phone.

"Yeah, they're really nice. I'm assuming you don't want a long engagement?"

"Of course not. I want my wedding as soon as possible, and June was as soon as possible. I'm so excited."

"So, why am I calling you?"

"Will you be my maid of honor?"

"What, really?"

"Yeah! I mean, we have seen each other naked, and you saw Josh naked too."

"Still trying to bleach that from memory, thanks for reminding me," Beca groaned.

"Anyway. Aubrey thinks I'm asking her, but I'm worried she'll blow from all the stress."

"Yeah, that would be bad. That would just ruin everything," Beca agreed. "So what are you telling her?"

"That I promised you'd be my maid of honor if you joined the Bellas. She'll totes believe it."

"Right," Beca said, not believing that Aubrey would go for that, but not wanting to argue with Chloe. "Why are you asking me this? Isn't it like, a lot of work?"

"Because I just need someone who's just going to agree with whatever I say and not try to make too many decisions. Aubrey would go maid-of-honor-zilla and I don't have time for that for my wedding."

"So basically I just have to agree with whatever you want and show up at the wedding?"

"Exactly. It's easy."

"I would love to, Chloe," Beca said and smiled into the phone.

"Thank you, Beca! Okay, I have to go. Good luck tonight!"

"What was all that about?" Jesse asked when Beca hung up.

"She wants me to be her maid of honor."

"Really?" Jesse asked in shock. "You?"

"Just because I'd agree with her on everything so she would shut up. My talents are finally paying off," Beca said.

"I'm so happy for you," he said as he leaned in to kiss her, but his phone vibrated. He groaned in annoyance as he moved away to look at who disturbed them. "The boys want to make sure we're ready for tonight, especially after the first riff-off."

"I don't blame them," Beca laughed. "Remember our little wager."

"Yeah, let's just keep that a secret, because I'm pretty sure they'll vote me off the island if I tell them."

"Probably," she said as she stood up to walk him out. "Good luck."

"You too," he said as he leaned in to kiss her one more time before leaving.

"Come on, Bellas! Let's make sure we're ready for the riff-off!" Beca called out as she shut the front door. Donald ran down the stairs, pulling his pants up on the way. She opened the front door for him before he could run right into it, laughing as he tripped on his way out the door.

"I see the Trebles and the Bellas are here," Justin said as the two groups walked toward him in the emptied pool. "Where are the BU Harmonics and the High-Notes?"

"Over there," Laci said as she pointed over to the other side of the pool.

"We don't have all day here, lets hurry this up!" Justin said impatiently. "We all know the rules. Let's begin!"

"Remember," Beca whispered to everyone. "Match the word exactly."

"No matter how awesome and gangster the song is," Fat Amy added.

"We've got this, don't worry," Noelle said confidently.

"You all better know the rules by now," Justin said as he pointed his spinner thing at the wall and it landed on a category. "Hits from the '90s!"

Stacie ran into the middle and began:

My loneliess is killin' me

I must confess I still believe

When I'm not with you I lose my mind

Give me a sign, hit me baby ..

Chris, one of the new Trebles, cut her off:

Baby

Ice Ice Baby

All right stop

Collaborate and listen

Ice is back with my brand new invention

Something grabs a hold of me tightly

Then I flow that harpoon daily and nightly

Will it ever stop ..

Laci jumped in:

Stop right now, thank you very much

I need somebody with a human touch

Hey you, always on the run

Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun

And we know that you could go and find some other

Take or leave it 'cause we've always got each other

You ..

One of the BU Harmonics stepped in:

You won't believe it

They think we're lovers kept under covers

I just ignore it, they keep sayin'

Laugh just a little too loud

Stand just a little too close

Stare just a little too long

Maybe they're seein' something we ..

Jesse cut them off:

We forget about the things I said when I was drunk?

I didn't mean to call you that;

I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me

Please tell me, Please tell me why?

My car is in the front yard

And I'm sleeping with my clothes on

I came into the window last night

And you're gone gone

It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy

'Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me

The smoke alarm is going off when there's ..

Beca smiled widely to herself, knowing she had this and wasn't going to make the same mistake she did during her first riff-off:

There's nothing where he used to lie

My conversation has run dry

That's what's going on, nothing's fine I'm torn

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed into something real

I'm wide away and I can see the perfect sky is torn

You're a little late, I'm already torn

One of the High-Notes cut her off, which was strange because out of all the groups, Beca didn't expect them to find a song that had 'torn' in it:

I was gonna go to class before I got high

I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high

I'm takin' it next semester and I know why

Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high

"As funny as that was," Justin said before he clapped his hands twice in the guys face. "You've been cut off!"

"Hey Jesse," Beca called out to her boyfriend. "Why don't we count that as one for me."

"Dude, I swear if you made another bet with your girlfriend," Donald groaned.

"She bet sex. If we win, I get some tonight. If we don't, I don't," Jesse covered smoothly. Donald didn't notice the fact that he blushed once he said that.

"You must really like her," Donald said, his voice filled with pity.

"Yeah, I do," Jesse said contentedly.

Justin spun for another category and it landed on songs about sex.

"Again?" Beca groaned.

"Why are you worried, we have Stacie," Noelle said with a laugh.

Stacie went to run into the middle, but a BU Harmonic beat her:

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you ..

Stacie took her chance to jump in:

You got that somethin'

That keeps me so off balance

Baby, you're a challenge

Let's explore your talent

Hey, boy, I really wanna see

If you can go downtown with a girl like me

Hey, boy, I ..

Donald stepped in and winked at his girlfriend:

I wanna put my hands on her hands

Feel the heat from her skin

Get reckless in the starlight

I'm moving to the beat of her heart

I was so lost until tonight, tonight

I ..

Cynthia Rose cut him off:

I ain't trying to fight it, to fight it

But you're so magnetic, magnetic

Got one life, just live it, just live it

Now relax, sing it on your back

If you wanna scream, yeah

Let me know and I'll take you there

If you ..

Jesse stepped in:

You didn't have to see things my way

Nothing more than a casual fuck – isn't that just how we operate

Let's drink to feelings of temptation

You and I, we're an over-night sensation

Don't sweat it, forget it, everything is a-ok

Just let it, go then it's, off to find another face

I make you come just to watch you leave,

I walk away with your heart on my sleeve

Don't sweat it, it's over ,,

Fat Amy decided it was time for her to jump in:

Over here to help take this off

Baby can't you see

How these clothes are fittin' on me

And the heat comin' from this beat?

I'm about to blow, I don't think you know

I'm telling you to loosen up my buttons babe

But you keep frontin'

Sayin' what you gon' do to me

But I ain't see nothing

I'm telling you to loosen up my buttons babe

But you keep frontin'

Sayin' what you gon' do to me

But I ain't see nothing

Beca couldn't resist the look on some of the guys faces when the Bellas began to dance, especially Stacie. She winked at Fat Amy as her and Beca continued the song. Beca began to walk slowly up to Jesse:

You say you're a big boy

But I can't agree

'Cause the love you said you had

Ain't been put on me

I won't if I'm just too much for you

Wonder if my kiss don't make you just

Wonder what I got next for you, what you wanna do?

Beca thought she had him, but he surprised her with a smirk as he took her hands in his:

Do it and we start real slow

You just put your lips together

And you come real close

Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby

Here we go

Beca was stunned into silence at what he just sang, and she knew they lost once the Trebles started whistling. Jesse, taking advantage of his girlfriend's silence, grabbed Beca and pulled her to him, kissing her heatedly. The crowd cheered and whooped as they kissed. When they pulled away, Beca couldn't help but laugh at Jesse's huge grin that she swore could have split his face in half if it got any bigger.

"Interesting song choice, nerd. Didn't know you had it in you," she said with a smirk.

"I had to bring out the big guns for tonight," he said. "How about we call it a tie?"

"How do you propose we do that?"

"We each pick a song," he said, and she nodded in agreement as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to kiss him some more.

"Still not used to this whole Treble and Bella getting along thing," Justin said as he looked at the two groups mingling and making out with each other. "I feel like I'm in the twilight zone."

"No, because if we were in the twilight zone, then I wouldn't have gotten attached to my ceiling by my underwear by my roommate this morning," Tommy huffed.

"Did he turn the ceiling fan on too?" Noelle asked since she was curious after overhearing him complain.

"Yes."

"That's hilarious. I'm going to find your roommate to get the video of that," Noelle said, hysterically laughing as she walked away.

"Did a hot Barden Bella actually speak to me?" Tommy asked Justin.

"I think so. You're moving up in the world," Justin said, high-fiving his friend.

"Maybe we are in the twilight zone."
