Hope you enjoy!
Saturday 14th May
Beca's POV
"You lassies better get yer lazy arses off that couch before I come and kick ye off it" Andy warned as he walked through the door of mine and Jesse's new apartment, followed by Donald and Jesse, carrying boxes of our stuff. As soon as the couch got moved into the apartment Stacie and I gave up on the 'moving in' thing and just collapsed onto the couch together.
"Stace, the two of you did exactly the same thing when we were moving in" Donald said, placing the box that he was holding onto the ground
"Boys we should've moved the couch last, so the wee fuckers would have nae choice" Andy, said grabbing his water bottle and taking a huge gulp of it, Stacie stood up with her hands on her hips as she looked down at Andy "Fine, wee motherfucker" he motioned to me "And tall motherfucker, happy?" He asked and Stacie pushed him so he stumbled slightly
"I'm sure Adam and Jess are moving in right now, helping each other like a couple should" Jesse joked, holding his hands out to me, I groaned and slipped my hands into his, allowing him to help me up
"Fine, we'll help, let's go" I threw my hands up in defeat, walking towards the door
"Beca!" Stacie whined
"We've dodged the work once; it doesn't look like it's happening again" I sighed and proceeded out the door, followed by the other 4. Once we had gone downstairs and wandered outside I climbed into the back of the moving truck "Oh look 3 boxes left" I said, spinning around to face the 3 men as Stacie climbed up as well "Oh and look there are three of you, c'mon Stace" the two of us were about to climb down when the 3 guys pointed to the 3 boxes
"Nope" they all said in unison, I rolled my eyes and walked over to the boxes
"Looks like you guys failed math, 2 of us, 3 boxes" I deadpanned as I picked up the box and stared at the other one "Oh I might have guessed the 3 of them were filled with movies, Jesse" I sighed
"Don't worry there's more upstairs" He smirked
"Right then, one of you dickfaces come and pick up the last box so Stacie and I can get back to the couch"
"What's the magic word?" Andy asked climbing up to join us
"Dick" I deadpanned, handing the box to Jesse so I could jump down before taking it off him again
"I was looking for 'please' but 'dick' will do" Andy shrugged before he started laughing as I screwed up my face.
Not Long After
"Finally" I groaned, throwing myself back on the couch once we had finished moving everything in, the room was surrounded by boxes so we weren't quite finished but Jesse and I will put everything away when everyone leaves. My eyes shot open when Andy shouted something from the kitchen
"HOLY SHIT!" He exclaimed, I shot up and snapped my head around as he stumbled out of the kitchen with his phone in hand, he made his way over to the back of the couch, tripping over a few boxes on his way before he thrust the phone in my direction, I grabbed it off him so he would stop waving it around and I read the message aloud
I got you and Becky a job at the local radio station, don't quite know what you guys will be doing yet but this could lead to something big for you guys x-Luke
"Wow!" Jesse, exclaimed, as he sat on the couch next to me, resting his arm on the back of the couch behind me
"This is amazing" I said, turning my head to look at Andy
"I know right?" He said, taking his phone back "I better go, I need to be home for Luke coming in" He said, walking towards the door
"We better go too, we need to go to this dance studio and apply for a job" Donald explained, looking at his watch, I stood up as did Jesse and we followed the 3 of them to the door
"Thanks guys" Jesse said as he opened the door and the other 3 piled out into the hallway
"Yeah, thanks" I agreed, hugging all three of them before they walked over to the elevator. The elevator dinged and the waved one last time
"Bye!" they called
"Bye" Jesse and I said in unison. I closed the door and followed Jesse to the couch, dodging the randomly placed boxes on my way
"I can't believe I've got a job so quickly" I said as I took a seat on the couch and looked into Jesse's eyes, I searched his face and he didn't seem as happy for me as he usually would "What's up?" I asked, concerned as I began to play with his fingers
"It's just..." H e took a deep breath and turned his head to the side "I've been looking for a job, y'know compose music and score movies?" I nodded my head and he continued "well I've been looking for a while and I just can't seem to get accepted anywhere" He ran his hand down his face and I snaked my hand around his neck and stroked it gently "You're gonna be working your ass off while I get rejected everywhere, I may as well give up and go work in a store" He groaned, hanging his head
"Jesse, look at me" I said firmly, he lifted his head "Jess wasn't even able to get a job as a teacher straight away she had to go to several different schools get lots of experience, juggling college at the same time before she could be a full time teacher but now she has a job, you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because she didn't give up like an idiot and you know and I know that you are an idiot" I chuckled and so did he "But we both know that you don't give up, god Adam has no clue what he wants to do and I could walk into this radio station and be stacking CD's for all I know" I said, still laughing slightly
"Nah, the station manager will hear you and Andy's music and be like 'Whoa this stuff's amazing! You guys are awesome!' You guys will be doing anything but stacking CD's" He smirked, he leaned forward and pecked me on the lips before standing up, offering me a hand "We better start putting this stuff away" I groaned but grabbed his hand and he pulled me up anyways
"What's first?" I asked, looking at all the boxes scattered around the room
"Get the movies out of the way first?" He suggested
"Yeah, that would create more space since there is like 5 boxes full of them...Where are they going anyway?" I asked as I went to pick up one of the boxes labelled: Movies
"Well we can stack them on the shelf in the spare room for just now"
"How 'bout forever?" I chuckled, stepping over boxes, making my way into the spare room "How can one guy have 5 boxes full of movies?" I asked, placing the box down and blowing a random stray hair out of my face
"It's called a collection, weirdo" He smirked as he placed the box down and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, I gasped at the unexpected contact and stumbled forward slightly
"I know what a collection is, dumbass" I tried to step on his foot but missed
"Then appreciate the collection" He said into my neck
"No" I challenged then he lifted me up and spun me around despite my curses and protests.
Later that day
"Seriously stop it" I basically squealed as Jesse was once again chasing me. We had spent most of the day attempting to unpack our stuff for the apartment. That is attempted since we hadn't actually made any progress, the day had mainly contained me trying to get somewhere with the unpacking and then Jesse messing about, whether it was tickling me, kissing the back of my neck to distract me or even to the point where we were running around the couch. That happened too then we stopped for lunch, I sent him out to get food from a small coffee house that we drove past on the way to the apartment, "Ellie's" was a little hole in the wall coffee shop that looked to be family owned. He returned holding two white bags in one hand and two carry out cups balanced on top of each other in the other hand. I jumped up from my position on the couch to help and we walked into the kitchen, I was too busy peering into one of the bags to investigate what he had bought for lunch to notice him scooping up some squirted cream on to his finger. He walked up behind me and then, splat. Right in the face.
"Right you're going down Swanson!" I threatened as I turned to the smirking idiot.
"Beca are you saying you wanna go down on all this, cause we set up the bed remember?" he did his classic eyebrow wag for ever innuendo he made.
"No not at all Jesse" I faked innocence "I'm saying I'm gonna do this!" I quickly scooped up my own cream and wiped it on him from his face to the bottom of his shirt; he screwed up his face and closed his eyes as I did so. He gave me a look and I ran for it. So that is how we ended up in our current position of me on one end of the couch and him at the other, every time he moved left I did also and vice versa. He pretended to run to his left before running right, I can't believe I fell for that. He scooped me up and we fell back comfortably on to the couch.
Adam's POV
We had finally finished putting stuff away in our new apartment, Jess was lying on the couch with her eyes closed, I grabbed my car keys off the table and walked over to the couch, I leaned over Jess and kissed her forehead
"I'll be back soon" I whispered, I needed to hand in my guitar to get fixed because it got dropped during the moving.
"I'm starving" she whined, her eyes fluttering open
"I'll bring something" I said, leaning down to peck her on the lips
"You better" she joked
"Of course milady" I said dramatically, taking a bow jokingly. I grabbed my guitar and walked out the door "See you later!" I called
"With food!" she replied. I laughed and closed the door behind me before pressing the button for the elevator. Just the two of us with our own apartment was an amazing thought, even the thought of starting a family with her was great but we both decided to wait for that until we had both settled with jobs before but that was my only problem, I had no idea what I wanted to do.
I pulled my car up outside of my favourite music store 'Don't Fret', The last time I was here I was only 18, when Jesse, Beca, Joe, Jess and I went while we were staying at moms that summer. I locked the car and walked into the store
"Adam?"
"Phil" I laughed as I walked over to the counter he was sitting behind, I still couldn't believe he was still working here; I rested my forearms on the counter
"What age are you now, son?" He asked
"22" I replied and his jaw dropped
"Wow, I remember when you and your sister first came here, what were you?..."
"12 I think" I laughed
"How is your sister anyway?" He asked
"Good, she just moved in with her boyfriend, you know the one that was singing here when we all came 4 years ago?" He scratched his chin
"Ah yeah, so what brings you here today, Adam?" He asked, standing up so he could come around next to me
"Well..." I turned around and picked up my guitar and removed it from its case "I need to leave this with you..." I handed him the guitar and he inspected it "It got broken while we were moving in and it's my favourite guitar so I didn't want to buy a new one"
"I'll be able to get this fixed for ya" He assured, walking through the back room of the store with it, I followed him since he trusted me I have been allowed to go through here for years "Oh and Adam, I need to ask you a favour " He said, placing the guitar on the table
"Yeah, anything" I shrugged, stuffing my hands into the pockets of my zip up hoodie
"Are you working anywhere just now?" He asked, I shook my head "Well one of our employees quit and we're looking for someo-"
"I'll do it" I blurted out before he could finish, he looked a little taken aback by my outburst but I couldn't help but laugh "I'm lost for work right now and I just can't let my girlfriend do all the work by herself so I will be more than happy to help" I said eagerly
"Great then!" He exclaimed, ushering me back to the front of the store "Can you come by tomorrow so I can show you what I need you to do?" he asked
"Sure thing, what time?" I asked, walking backwards towards the door
"Ermm...come in for about 9am" He said, glancing at his watch
"Will do!" I called, opening the door "Oh and thanks for taking in my guitar"
"No problem, I will get to work on it as soon as!" he called
"See ya, tomorrow Phil" I called, one last time before closing the door behind me. Well this is great! I've got a job! I jogged over to my car and quickly climbed in, clipping my seatbelt and starting the engine.
One my way home, I grabbed a pizza for Jess and I to share since she was hungry and there was absolutely nothing in the apartment. The elevator dinged on my floor and I walked towards our door and fumbled with the key since I was holding the pizza box in the other hand. I stumbled in and was met by the laughter of Jess, who was sitting on the couch reading a book
"Damn, key" I mumbled "Here!" I said and tossed her the keys; she successfully caught them and placed them on the coffee table. She stood up and walked towards me with her hands out towards the pizza box "Nuh uh" I teased holding it above our heads so she couldn't reach it
"Gimme it!" she said, balancing on her tip toes trying to reach it but I just kept moving it out of reach, I laughed and she walked around me and jumped onto my back
"Jesus Christ!" I exclaimed as I stumbled forward, I walked into the kitchen with her still on my back and I placed the pizza box on the island. She was about to jump down but I grabbed her legs, keeping them wrapped around my waist; I backed up to the island so she was sitting on it and let her go. I turned to face her and she wrapped her legs around my waist again as she grabbed the pizza box and opened it "Oh I have some news by the way" I said excitedly as I grabbed a slice out of the box
"Yeah?" she asked even though her full attention was on the slice of pizza she was just about to eat
"I got a job!" I exclaimed
"Oh my god this is great" she took a bite of the slice of pizza "Where?" she asked curiously her mouth now full of pizza
"You know the music place I took you to 4 years ago?"
"The one with the dude?" she asked and I laughed, nearly choking on my bit pizza
"That's what you can remember? There was a dude?" I asked between laughs
"Well what am I supposed to say? It was 4 years ago!" She threw her arms up and laughed
"Well anyway, the dudes name is Phil and he offered me a job when I handed in my guitar" I explained
"Well this is awesome, when do you start?" she asked, removing her legs from around my waist and hopping back down from the island
"Tomorrow...well he's showing me what I have to do and stuff" I replied distractedly, grabbing two glasses from out of the cupboard and setting them on the counter, I was about to open the fridge when Jessica said something
"We've just moved in do you expect things to just magically appear in the fridge?" she laughed "We'll go shopping at some point tomorrow when you've finished work"
"That's a plan batman" I said, filling the glasses up with water, I placed the two now full glasses on the island in front of us and I climbed up on the stool beside her "So what are your plans tomorrow my love?" I asked, placing my hand over hers that was on top of the counter, she laughed and took a sip of her water before answering
"Don't really know, I don't have to work until the schools start back up again at the end of summer, but I can't wait" she shrugged.
Beca's POV
"So roomie what do you wanna do?" Jesse asked
"I don't know, I really don't want to do any more unpacking" I complained leaning my face against his shoulder
"Then we won't unpack, it's our first night alone is our new apartment what do you wanna do?" He said softly into my ear. I pulled my head away from his shoulder and looked him in the eyes
"I can't believe I'm saying this but, I kinda want to order take out and eat it while watching a movie, but a good movie, not like E.T."
"Sure that's fine with me, and come on Beca admit it, E.T. is a good film, it's hilarious, it makes you have so many feelings and plus there is a cross dressing alien. Who doesn't want to see a film like that?!"
"Me obviously, since that movie took away three hours of my life that I will never get back"
"I choose to ignore that statement and fine ill pick a film I know you'll like" he said with a smile.
"Oh god what is it! What film are you thinking of torturing me with?"
"Well I was gonna say the Breakfast Club, since it's our movie and it's our first night in our apartment, but since you don't trust me and I'm very hurt I'll have to choose something else. Hmmmm...let's see...I know! We are watching The Ice Princess"
"Oh god no I'm sorry, please can we watch the Breakfast club, I'll even let you tell me your random movie facts!" I was desperately trying to convince him. No way in hell was I watching something with the word princess in the title.
"Aww...Beca it's cute that you think you have an option in whether I tell you movie facts" he said squeezing my cheeks like a child. I slapped his shoulder
"You're such a weirdo"
"A-ha dear Beca that I am, but I am your weirdo" he said tapping my wrist.
"That you are" I said leaning forward to capture his lips.
"We can go for a walk later and get take out, but not now" I said between kisses and wrapped my arms around his neck.
Did you guys enjoy it? your fav thing someone said? fav moment? my favourite convo was this one :
"What's the magic word?" Andy asked climbing up to join us
"Dick" I deadpanned, handing the box to Jesse so I could jump down before taking it off him again
"I was looking for 'please' but 'dick' will do" Andy shrugged before he started laughing as I screwed up my face.
