CHAPTER 5:
The next morning, the Bellas were headed for the Stroget shopping street, but Beca and Jesse opted to stay behind. Once they reached the crowded shopping street, many of the Bellas went in different directions to look at the many different stores.
While Jessica was wheeling Danny's stroller, she and Ashley passed by an H&M. They were surprised to find out how low end it was compared to how high end the store appeared to be back home in America. As they took a look inside, Beca, Jesse, Chloe, Chicago, Bumper, and Amy passed by some street performers and thought it'd be an opportunity for an impromptu jam session.
While the jam session was going on, the rest of the group continued walking because they wanted to look around for some souvenirs to take back home. And the best place to find some was in the gift shops. They looked around and saw a bunch of possible things they could buy. Chloe felt bad about Beca and Jesse staying behind, so in addition to buying something for herself, she bought Beca one of the t-shirts that were available. Amy saw a teddy bear with a Viking helmet on and instantly thought it'd be a good thing to buy for herself.
After the gift shop, Emily and Benji came across a Lego store which they thought would appeal nicely to the kids. And needless to say, the rest of the Bellas agreed. Especially since many of the Bellas and their husbands remembered playing with Legos back in their childhoods.
While the others were out on the long shopping street, Beca thought she could use a day at a spa. So, she and Jesse went to see if there was one nearby only to find that there actually was one in their hotel they could easily go to.
"It's been so long since I've had a spa day, I felt one has been long overdue," Beca said.
"Are you sure you don't feel guilty about not going with the other Bellas to the shopping center?" Jesse asked.
"Not at all. Besides, I know walking can be good exercise, but I'd much rather have a relaxing time with my own husband," Beca explained.
"I understand. So, what do you think you'll get today?" Jesse asked.
"Well, I could definitely use a massage today," Beca said.
"That's a great idea, babe. I did notice there was a couples' massage offered here," Jesse said.
"Well, let's do it then," Beca said.
The couple both agreed that a nice relaxing couples' massage would be an enjoyable one. Once that was done, Jesse suggested the idea of the two sitting in the steam room. They sat in there for about 15 minutes until they were both ready to get out and see what else they could do.
As they were leaving the spa...
"This is just what I needed," Beca said, feeling relieved.
"Good. I'm glad to see you relaxed," Jesse said.
"Definitely. What do you say we go back to the room while we wait for the others to get back," Beca said.
"Sounds like a plan. I wouldn't mind watching a little more TV," Jesse said.
"Okay, but let's just stay away from those risque channels. I noticed yesterday that there's too many of those in this country," Beca said.
