Hey guys! Hope you enjoy this chapter! :D
Chapter 8
Jesse teased Beca constantly about getting caught admiring him for the next few days. However, to Beca it seemed like an eternity.
He would follow her around, saying things like 'Am I sexy yet? I'm getting a vibe from you!' and 'Hey Bec. Wanna feel?' and he would promptly lift up his shirt and expose his abs. His abs that were now tan. Dear God. She did her best to not look, which really tested her self-control.
Once she had finally had enough of the incessant teasing – between him and Donald, it was getting pretty damn annoying – Beca decided that she was going to get them back. Now the only question was how.
She wasn't quite sure how to get Donald back, because she still hadn't really gotten to know him. However, Jesse… he was a different story. She knew exactly what to do to shut him up.
To put her plan into action, she approached him as he was studying on the quad one Spring morning.
"Hey, Beca!" he said happily as she sat down next to him and roped her arm through his.
"Hey, sweetie!" she replied just as happily, and she had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing at his slightly confused expression. She never used pet names. However, he quickly replaced it with his usual smile, and she leaned into his arms, which slowly wrapped around her shoulders, enveloping her with warmth.
"So," Beca said into his chest, "I have a question for you. Well… not really a question, but a proposition." He nodded, gesturing her to continue. "Okay. Well, you know how the mixer is next week?" He nodded. "I was just wondering…We won't see each other for a while after that, what with all the preparations that the Bellas and Trebles will be doing for Regionals. I really want to spend some time with you." she said, and he flashed his trademark grin at her.
"I'd love that Beca. But you know we spend time together like… all the time, right?" he said as he rubbed circles on her arm with his thumb.
Beca adjusted herself in his arms to where she could look him in the eyes.
"Well yeah. But I meant…" she lowered her voice for dramatic effect, "alone time."
His grin faltered, and his eyes bulged a bit.
"A-…alone time?" he repeated, his voice cracking a bit. His eyebrows furrowed when he heard himself, and he cleared his throat, unsure of where that had come from. Her teeth once again found the inside of her cheek, almost taking a chunk out of the inside of her mouth before swallowing her inevitable laughter.
"Yes, Jesse. Alone time. We could, you know…" she trailed off with somewhat of a seductive smile, letting his mind supply the rest like she knew it would. His grin was now completely gone, and his eyes were almost bugging out of his head.
"Okay." he said, trying to sound as cool about it as he could, but he failed. Beca could see right through him. She leaned over to whisper in his ear, letting her words drip off her lips.
"Meet me in the Treble house tomorrow night at 11:00 sharp," she whispered, then added, "and lose the clothes. You look much better without them." She winked at him as she got up and walked away. Even though she didn't really know what his 'down under' – as Amy would call it – looked like, his expression still told the whole story. He was still a virgin, as was she, but he didn't need to know that. She could tell that he was absolutely terrified, which meant that she had done her job. Now to find Stacie and complete the next step in her master plan.
The next day and a half seemed like years to Jesse, who couldn't focus on anything but Beca's 'proposition' to him. Did she really want to do… that with him?! No, there was no way. She was messing with him. But then again…what if she wasn't?
Their relationship had lasted for a little under a year now, and the hadn't done anything like that yet. The farthest they had gone was making out with their shirts off, which Kimmie Jin had very obnoxiously interrupted.
'Aca-awkward.' he thought as he remembered the silence that had settled on the room.
But other than that unfortunate incident, they hadn't really done anything sexual…ever.
Maybe she was ready? Was she? Either way, Jesse's palms were sweating at the thought, and he did his best to calm down and get through the day.
When 10:45 rolled around, Jesse left the station. He had finished his shift hours ago, but he needed work to do to keep his mind off of Beca. Who was waiting for him at the Treble house.
He let out a breath that he didn't realize he had been holding when he reached the front door of the Treble house. He looked down at his watch. 10:54.
His heart beat like a hummingbird's wings as he opened the door, the creak resonating through the empty house. Except it wasn't empty.
He stood still for a moment, too nervous to move his legs towards his room. When he finally found the strength, he trudged up to his room, stopping in front of the door to strip off all but his underwear. Once he had done so, he took a deep breath.
'Here we go.' he thought as he opened the door slightly. He stepped into the pitch-black room and shut the door behind him.
His eyes adjusted slowly, but he soon saw a figure lying on the bed.
"Hey." he said quietly, in a voice that was surprisingly much higher than his own. He shrugged it off as the figure stood up and made its way over to him.
His heartbeat seemed to echo throughout the room as he wrapped his arms around Beca's waist. He crashed his lips into hers, enveloping her in himself. They breathed heavily, and his hands soon found their way down to his butt.
"Whoa, now baby." Beca said to him, but… IT WASN'T BECA?! Jesse screamed loudly, as did the other figure, and Jesse stumbled over to the wall, flicking on the light as quickly as possible.
The light showed that the person he had been kissing was… DONALD?! They both screamed again and rubbed their lips furiously as they realized what they had just done.
Jesse dove for the mouthwash in his bathroom, and Donald grabbed a tube of toothpaste and slathered it all over his lips, trying to get Jesse's taste off of his mouth.
Once they had thoroughly cleansed themselves and Jesse had retrieved his clothes, they confronted each other.
"Dude, what the hell?! You're supposed to be Beca!" Jesse exclaimed, and Donald gave him an incredulous look.
"What? You're supposed to be Stacie!" he exclaimed just as loudly, and their faces both changed from expressions of disgusted confusion to expressions of pure horror.
They both closed their eyes and turned towards the hallway when they heard laughter.
They walked out onto the landing, being sure to keep as much space between them as possible. The scene before them caused them both to put their heads in their hands, and Jesse fell to his knees.
Beca stood before them with all of the Trebles and Bellas standing behind her. She had a triumphant expression on her face as they all laughed at the two boys' misfortune.
"Payback's a bitch." she said simply, and Jesse went back in his room, locking the door behind him and flopping dejectedly onto his bed.
Damn it, Beca.
So what did you think?! I was cracking up the whole time I was writing this! By the way, I didn't forget the mixer! That's a major plot point in the story. :P But ANYWHO, thank you for reading, and I appreciate each and every review, favorite, and follow that I get! Love you guys! :)
