Chapter 5
The lunch.
*Beca's P.O.V*
We walked together laughing at Jesse's jokes. And talking about his family.
-So basically I'm an only child with a little 9 year old beast who says he's my brother.
-Aw he must be cute
-Jason? Cute? Beca, you're disappointing me. But for my luck, he's a movie nerd like me- He said triumphant.
-One point less for him. Where are we going, by the way?
-Wendy's?
- Isn't that closed for snow? I thought you knew that.
-Oh, I didn't. Don't you mind if we go to my house? Jason is probably sleeping and my mom somewhere with my dad.
-HE'S ALONE IN YOUR HOUSE?!
-No, Maddie is taking care of him.
-Who's Maddie? His babysitter?
-She's an old friend from school, now she goes to another school, but we are still in contact. – My mind was telling me that she was his something and I felt jealous of her. Wait no; I can't be jealous for a girl who can be Jesse's girlfriend – And I had a crush on her, we were a couple in 7th grade - Okay, maybe I could be jealous.
I didn't say a word I just glared at him and made a fake smirk. And we walked in an uncomfortable silence after that, until Jesse spoke again.
-What about you?
-About me?
-Yeah, your family, I told you mine so now it's your turn.
-…, what are we gonna eat? - I tried to change the topic because my family is a real mess, more that you know. But it didn't work.
-Are you avoiding my question? Why? – I didn't say a word, I started walking faster – Hey im asking you something just tell me what's wrong and I –
-FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP- he was surprised, his face showed it – You wanted to know it? Well here's the fucking real deal, my family is a mess. My family is A FUKING MESS. I don't like to talk about them cause I feel I don't have a real family. Is that what you wanted to know?
When I saw his face, I felt bad for yelling at him, it wasn't his fault after all, he didn't know.
-Look Jess I'm sorry you didn't know it's just-
-No Becs, it's okay, I am the idiot who should shut his mouth. Sorry. - He hugged me, usually I don't let anybody hug me, but this was different. It was like I needed a hug and I could feel his warm breath on my neck, I still had my arms crossed but I wrapped them around his waist. It wasn't a long, normal hug, it was long but different. I don't know how to explain it. When we separated he looked at me. - Are you okay?
-Yes, thanks. It's just I don't hug people. I'm not an affective person. We walked to his house and before he opened the door he gave me an advice – My mom is very affective and judging the time I think she's back home and she is a talker and has no filter so I'm saying sorry before she make something. – I nodded and gave him a smirk that he gave back.
-Mom im back- he yelled while he was taking my jacket. I could hear a woman yelling coming from upstairs.
-JASON IM BEGGING YOU TO GO TO TAKE A BATH PLEASE.
-No – a little boy voice said giggling
-GET. IN. THE. TUB.
I could see Jesse blushing and he gave me and apologetic smile. Then a woman who looked being in her forty appear from what I think it's the bathroom.
-Hey sweetheart, I was trying to get Jason into the tub and…Who's this lovely girl? –And she hugged me. – I'm Lauren, JJ's mom.
-I'm Beca, nice to meet you. You call Jesse JJ?
-He's my JJ, I used to called him butts because he had a nice one when he was born.
I laughed so hard at Jesse's face of embarrassment.
-Mom, I think she had enough for today.
-Oh I'm embarrassed you? I'm gonna make lunch. Are you okay with Mac&Cheese?
-Yes – we said in unison
I waited until her mother entered the kitchen to look at him trying to keep my laugh.
-Butts? Really?
-You never heard that okay?
-Sure JJ.
-Whatever. So Miss Mitchell – I looked at him – Do you want me to give you a tour on the Swanson's house?
-So your surname is Swanson huh. It'll be a pleasure.
He stopped on the stairs and stared at me.
-What?
-Ladies first- He said
-You're such a weirdo- I said as I started going upstairs.
-And I know you like it.
He showed me his entire house, which ,I have to admit, it was pretty big and I finally met his little brother. It wasn't how I expected to met him, it was like this:
-Hey Becs I gotta go to the bathroom, stay here.
-Sure.
I was standing on a blue door. After a few seconds, the door flew opened and I fell to the ground, facing a little kid who had brown curly hair and, unlike his brother, blue eyes.
-Who are you? Are from the dark side – Oh god he spent way TOO much time with Jesse.
-Hum, hey. I'm Beca, Jesse's friend.
-So you are from the dark side, I have to kill you.
-I'm good, I'm…I'm…-Good I wish I could have seen that movie
-Leia?
-Yeah that.
-All my brother's girlfriends are form the dark side. They always are nice with me and later are mean.
-Kiddo, I'm not your brother's girlfriend. I'm just a friend.
-Oh, then you can have my sword.
-Hum thanks- I said taking the toy- What should I do now to be "good"?
-Fight with me.
-I can't fight with OUCH-he hit me in the leg –Okay, word has started
*Jess's P.O.V*
When I exited the bathroom, Beca wasn't on the hallway. But I could hear her from Jason's room.
-Kiddo, I'm not your brother's girlfriend. I'm just a friend.-I heard her said
-Unfortunately- I whispered to myself.
When I opened the door I found Beca on the floor tickling my brother, who was on her waist, so she could stand up. The both were laughing; they didn't notice I was there until I tread a Lego.
-Fucking bitch- I said throwing the Lego across the room, and making the both of them look at me.
-Mom always says that you shouldn't be on barefoot.
-But I don't care-
-Karma.- I narrowed my eyes at him
Beca was still in the floor looking at me with her hair all over her face.
-Jason would you let me go with your brother for a minute?
-Only if the next time you play with me.
-We have a deal- She said giving him a 'Hi five'
Then I guided her to my room.
-You have a nice room- She said
-Thanks. Now that we're here…-
-Wait you are not gonna ask me to make out. Right?
I could feel my heart beating faster, I wanted to say yes but I did not- Hum no, I was gonna ask you if you wanted to started the Moviecation.
-Oh…If you want to break the deal…
-I'm not gonna break it, I still have the ice cream and I always have pouches.
And I showed her the drawer under my bed full of them.
-Oh so you never run out of them.
-I've got the Best scored and soundtracked movies of all time. That's what I wanna do when I grow up. I wanna score movies. Bring people to tears, you know. Blow their minds. I feel like only music can do that.
-Yeah. You must really sweep your girlfriend off her feet.
-I don't have a girlfriend?
-What?
-No.
-But isn't Maddie your…-
-Guys the lunch is ready-My mom yelled.
-But instead of ice cream, I prefer M&C- Beca said motioning me to go downstairs.
-Guys sit wherever you want.-My mom said
-Beca next to me-Jason said
-Sure buddy.- Beca said giving me a smirk and sitting next to him.
-So you are a couple? – My mom asked making me spit the food and Beca choke. – I guessing your reactions, you are not.
-They are friends mom, that's why Beca is in the good side.
-Why she's in the good side and I'm not? - I asked making Beca stop coughing and more comfortable.
-Hum because I'm not a weirdo- She said teasing me.
We finished the lunch and went to my room to pick a movie that sounded good to Beca.
-Star trek?
-Too nerd.
-The Lion King?
-His father dies.
-Sixteen candles?
-Sounds a girl who her family forgot about her birthday, a guy who is Mr. Nobody in the school has a crush on her but she has a crush on the most popular guy of the school.
-Shit Becs.
We couldn't watch any movie, we lost time searching one, me trying to make my brother go to his room and at 4pm she had to leave to start her shift in an hour
