The night wasn't too long. She fell asleep pretty fast after the third episode of Breakout Kings. She fell asleep in the sofa right next to Jesse. She thought she heard Robert going back to his room, or maybe he was cleaning?
When she woke up, the whole living-room was clean and Robert was gone. Her neck was a little sore from the sleep, her head was tilted the whole night. Jesse was still sleeping next to her. She took her phone and checked the time. It was only 1pm. She usually slept till about 3pm. Just because she worked really late. She always took the shifts from 6pm till somewhere between 12-01am. She got up and smelled herself. Gosh she stank… She really could use a hot shower. She took her t-shirt off and smelled it. Yup, it stank.. She started walking towards the bathroom when she met Robert coming out from his bedroom. He looked at her with a surprised look, then he smiled. "Nice bra. I like the color", he said and made his way to the kitchen. She smiled. Her bra was purple with white stripes. "Thank you", she said after him. She opened the door and started to undress.
She heard Jesse walking past the door and in to the kitchen.
The shower was one of the few things she truly loved in the morning. Food was also one of the few things… Almost all the few things. She started to put shampoo in her hair and sing a song that had been stuck in her head for almost two days.
I was walking along
Minding my business
When out of the orange colored sky
Flash, bam, alacazam wonderful you came by
One look and I yelled timber!
Watch out for flying glass.
'Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went in to a spin and I started to shout.
I've been hit! This is it! This is it!
She started to wash out all the shampoo from her hair. While trying to think of another song to sing when she was going to wash her body. She thought for a minute and remembered that time before she joined the Barden Bellas and she was taking a shower. Chloe appeared out of nowhere and asked her to sing because she'd heard her. What song were they singing? She started to think. Something with… Fire away? Oh, Titanium! She started to wash her body.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose.
Fire away, fire away.
She could still hear her and Chloe singing the song in harmony. The memory made her smile.
"You're having a concert in there? Hurry up a little, you and I are going to the cupcake store today. We're meeting Chloe. Don't deny that you want to!", she heard Jesse say outside. She smiled. She hated that he knew her so well. She took the her blue towel that was waiting for her on the floor and wrapped it around her body and took her clothes. She opened the door to find Jesse standing outside with a smirk on his face. "Wasn't that the song that you and Chloe sang together? In the shower?", he asked. Robert popped out from the kitchen holding a spoon in his hand. "Wait! In the shower? You showered with this girl?", he asked and looked at her just waiting for her to answer him. "No I did not shower with her. I was singing Titanium and she came up to me in the shower and asked me to sing, when I did she joined me and we sang in harmony", she said and once again smiled at the memory. Robert giggled. "Jesse said that you two liked each other but that's just adorable. Not even Jesse and I have done that and we've been together for almost three years now", he said and walked back to the kitchen. Jesse looked at her, then at Robert walking away. "What? Robert you wanna do that?", he asked. Robert turned around. "Yes, Jesse. In fact I do. Should we say tomorrow? When Beca's working because I don't think singing will be the only thing we'll do", Robert said and laughed his way to the kitchen. Jesse smiled am I-am-so-sorry-you-had-to-hear-that smile. "I really didn't need to know that", Beca said and walked to her room with a smirk. Her room was filled with her DJ stuff. She had her piano, her guitar, computer and her big bed in there. She liked her room. She walked to the closet and took out her jeans and a purple shirt, some socks and started to get dressed. She somehow knew that Jesse was waiting for her right outside her door so she hurried a little and took her wallet.
Just like she thought he was standing there looking at his phone. "What are you doing?", she asked walked over to their shoes. "You know Chloe?", he asked. She nodded. "She has instagram. I'm following her now! She just posted a picture of a new cupcake in her store. Pear flavored. I know you love everything that's pear flavored!", he said and showed her a picture of a green cupcake. She really did love everything that's pear flavored.. "Let's go then!", she said and stood up after tying her shoe laces. Jesse took the shoes he only had to slip his foot right into. Robert came after them with his shoes already on. "I'm coming with you guys! I want a cupcake!, he said and took the keys to the apartment.
They all walked outside together. The car was parked right outside the apartment, just waiting for them. Robert and Jesse held hands. Of course she sometimes felt like a third wheel, especially when the three of them were eating outside. She'd rather stay at home, somehow she didn't feel like it's nice of her to be there with them. They probably were planning on eating just the two of them but felt bad for leaving her alone. They were the nicest people ever. "Who's driving?", she asked. Robert showed her the car keys. "Me", he said and opened the car to sit down in the driver's seat. Jesse sat in the back with Beca. They fastened the seatbelts and started driving. The cupcake store was just ten minutes from their apartment. "So what are you going to say to her?", Robert asked with his eyes on the road. She laughed. "What am I supposed to say? I'm probably just gonna tell her what kind of cupcake I want, sit down and eat it and say thanks and goodbye when I'm done", Beca said and looked at Jesse who suddenly had a smirk on his lips. "You'd like that wouldn't you?", he murmured for himself. Beca just shook her head, she didn't hear what he said. She rested her head on the car window. "Don't fall asleep! We're there soon", Jesse said and rested his head on her shoulder.
She didn't fall asleep, she just rested her eyes for a while. Ten minutes felt like one second. They were there so quickly. She was kind of sleepy so she did everything slowly. She got out of the car and rubbed her eyes. "Ok, sleeping beauty. Let's go eat some cupcakes", Jesse said and took Beca and Roberts hands and started walking towards the store. The store was brighter on the inside in the morning. The walls were almost shining. No line like the night before and Chloe was standing there counting the cupcakes. They walked up to her. "Chloe", Jesse said. She looked up. When she saw them a big smile appeared on her face. "Jesse, Beca! Oh, and you must be the fiancé", she said and looked at Robert. He nodded. "Yes I am. Beca speaks about you all the time and she told me you're pretty but she didn't tell me you look like an angel". So freaking charming.. Chloe giggled. "Oh, stop it". Robert smiled because he knew she liked it. "So what cupcakes do you guys want?", she asked and stood behind the cupcakes. "I would like the raspberry one, Jesse would probably like the banana cupcake if I know him right and Beca would love the pear flavored one", Robert said and pointed at the cupcakes he was talking about. She nodded and started taking them out and putting them on plates. "You guys are eating here, right", she asked. Robert nodded. She gave each one a plate and some water. "You might get thirsty", she said and smiled. They walked over to the biggest cupcake table and sat down. "She's really sweet", Robert said as he sat down. Jesse smiled. "If you like her so much why don't you marry her?", he said and started licking the frosting from the cupcake. "Because, honey. There's one thing that you have that she doesn't", he said and started doing the same, They all ate the cupcake the same way. Lick the frosting and force yourself to eat a dry muffin.. But they liked it! "And what might that be, love?", Jesse asked.
"A penis", Robert said and continued eating his cupcake. Jesse and Beca laughed when suddenly she heard a voice behind her. "Do you guys need anything? Water, soda, coffee?", she asked with a smile. Robert looked at her. "What we need is for you to sit down for a bit! You don't have any more customers right now. Sit down and tell us about you and Beca at the University", he said and looked at Beca. She gave him the I-am-going-to-kill-you-later look. He just smiled. She nodded unsure of what to do and sat down. "So tell me Chloe. How did you and Beca meet and what's your story?", Robert asked. Chloe took a deep breath. "Well I am older than her so when we met it was her first year and my second. Me and my best friend Aubrey were standing outside the school trying to get girls to sign up for auditing for the Barden Bellas which was our acapella choir for girls. Beca refused in the beginning, told us it wasn't really her thing. I kind of pushed her till she actually did it and she got in. She has an amazing singing voice and she was the only one at the audition who didn't know the song you were supposed to sing so she did her own song and played on a cup while doing it. That's how we started out. Later she started hanging with me and Aubrey when she wasn't stacking CD's with Jesse here. But then the last year came and a guy named Tom asked me to be his girlfriend, I said yes and instantly he told me he had a job in California and if I wanted to move in with him after graduation. I wasn't thinking, I was just saying yes because I really wanted to go to California. I did but I visited Barden University so often that it didn't look like I'd moved. I promised Beca I'd be on her graduation, which I was. At least I got to see her get her diploma. Which was a big moment. But then Tom told me our flight to Cali was leaving in an hour so we needed to hurry.. I didn't have time to say anything to Beca", Chloe said and looked at Beca with sad eyes. Beca felt bad for being angry at her before..
