A/N: Hey lovely readers, just want to clear things up in case anyone is confused. Beca didn't join the Bellas, however, Chloe is her best friend so she knows some of the others. Jesse didn't work at the radio station, but did join the Trebles and knows some of the others as well. They just never met each other.

Just a reminder that I don't own Pitch Perfect or the characters portrayed in this story. UnBeta'd so forgive me for any mistakes I may have made.

"Did I hear you say, you played mixes at WBUJ?" Jesse asked.

On to chapter three of Crossed Paths

Chapter 3: Reminiscing

Beca looked at Jesse knowing his question was directed at her. She couldn't help but smile. It was a coincidence that Jesse went to Barden.

"Yeah, I did. I DJ'd at WBUJ. Played my mixes in 2012-2015." Chloe watched the interaction between her best friend and Jesse. She noticed a sparkle in her eyes whenever she talked about her mixes. Beca has a passion about music. She breathes it.

"That's awesome. I listened to the show all the time. Those mixes were amazing." Jesse said sincerely.

"Thanks" Beca replied.

If the restaurant wasn't so busy, Jesse would've loved to chat about the old days at Barden.

"Well ladies, I have to get back to work. Chloe, it was nice to see you again. Pleasure meeting you Beca." Jesse smiled.

"Nice to meet you too." Beca returned the smile, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Chloe's thoughts were going wild thinking maybe something clicked between the two.

They enjoyed their meal and talked about the old days at Barden. Chloe asked about her collaborations with Iggy and Katy. Beca was excited about that. This is a stepping stone to her abilities to become a producer.

"Beca, when was the last time you went out on a date?" Chloe asked. She loved Beca and worried about her. For the longest time, Beca has been alone (well not completely, she has Brad) without a man companion.

"Chloe-" Beca warned. She loves her best friend to death but she's too damn nosey, always thrusting herself in every aspect of Beca's life. The brunette always kept her love life (or lack thereof) private. "-Don't start with me about the dating thing again. I'm good. I keep busy with Brad and work is always busy for me."

"What? I just want you to have some fun. You work hard and taking care of my godson is a lot of work." Their hour is almost up as Chloe summoned the waiter for the check. Beca snagged it before Chloe can protest and she placed her credit card in the slot for payment. Chloe placed a $10 dollar bill under the coffee mug for the waiter's tip and told Beca she's heading for the restroom.

Beca chuckled at the redhead's antics and handed the bill to the waiter stating her friend went to the restroom. Chloe returned to sign for the check and gave Beca her signature wink before bending down giving the brunette a tight hug. Beca didn't realize the redhead had given her credit card info prior to their lunch date.

"We should get together this weekend, maybe take Jessica out and talk about wedding plans." Chloe said enthusiastically clapping her hands together.

"Sounds great." Beca answered.

Chloe waved at Beca before she left out the door leaving Beca baffled at her sneakiness. The brunette walked back into the office with a smile and sat behind her desk and listened to the phone messages left on her answering service.

About 4pm, there was a knock on her door and Fat Amy and Bradley entered the office. Brad sprinted up to his mom and jumped on her lap.

"Hey little man, how was your day?" Beca asked as she ruffled his hair. He was bouncing excitedly before he told his mom the Fat Amy took him and the kids in his class to park today.

"He's a trooper Beca. He took a spill off the monkey bars." Amy explained.

"WHAT!"

"Relax Shaw-shank, little dude ooh ooh-ahh ahh'd all the way down." The blonde Australian smiled widely.

"Brad, you ok buddy?" Beca questioned as she examined her son. The brunette gave the big blonde a look of concern.

"He jumped back quicker than the adult Kangaroos from Tasmania...with springs."

"Really Amy? Kangaroos don't have springs on their feet!" Beca exclaimed. The tiny brunette gave Amy a glared look of disbelief. The big blonde comes up with the craziest shit relating to things from her country, albeit they are quite amusing.

"It's just like having a PEP in your step…ya know Personal Exercise Plan, which for me is my mouth exercising when I'm eating my delicious pizza." Amy said smiling displaying her white teeth. Beca shook her head and drew her attention back to Brad who sat calmly on his mother's lap.

The brunette's intercom buzzed and she leaned over and hit the button "Yes Kate?"

"Niles is on line one and needs to set up the meeting with Katy Perry on Friday." Beca then lifted Brad off her lap and sent him to play with his toys on the mat in the corner.

"Thanks Kate." Beca said. She turned to Amy and asked her to take Brad to Zac's Pizza on the corner and be back around 5 when she's done. The young boy heard pizza and zipped over to Amy grabbed her hand pulling her towards the door.

"Bye momma" he waved as the door closed. Beca waved back laughing at her little boy's enthusiasm.

Everyone is preparing for the dinner rush at the restaurant while Jesse is in the back office setting up payroll. Bumper and Donald are cleaning the grill and counter tops when Stacie enters the kitchen going behind Donald and wrapping her arms around the tall man. He turns his head and placed a kiss on his girlfriend's cheek.

"Save your lady loving for after shift lover boy." Bumper said with a disgusted look on his face. Stacie glared over at him and flipped him off giving Donald another kiss. Back in college, the two were rivals in a cappella groups; The Bellas and The Treblemakers where Bumper at one point was the leader of the group. A Bella's Oath kept Stacie from being with Donald and that changed when the girls beat the Trebles to become the first all-female group to become world champions.

Getting back to work, the guys finished their cleaning and started preps for the dinner rush. The customers started coming in as Stacie was told to wait her tables. Ashley came in late and waited tables with Stacie. They both were caught up in conversation at the bar with Jessica when Jesse stood alongside of them to chat.

"Hey girls, how's it going out here so far? They're starting to pack in tonight."

"I have a party of 12 I'm waiting on and I have a good feeling that it's going to pay off." Ashley said rubbing her fingers together. Jesse smiled. Jessica served her patrons at the bar and chatted with Jesse.

"Hey Jesse, I'm going to go out with the girls at some point to plan the wedding. I know you're going to plan a bachelor party for Benji so if Bumper is going to be there, keep him out of trouble. I know he likes to mess around with Benji so keep him in line." Jessica said firmly.

"Don't worry about a thing Jess. I didn't let him get away with the shit in college, so I'm definitely going to make sure he behaves or I'll kick his ass" Jesse stated.

Everything started winding down as the customers were dwindling and the restaurant was going to close soon. Jessica, Ashley and Stacie decided to go out for a drink afterwards at Michael's Pub so Stacie grabbed her phone and called Chloe to see if she wanted to join them.

Chloe called Beca as well to have them meet up at the pub around 11:30. Being a week night, the pub wasn't too crowded when Jessica, Ashley and Stacie arrived. About 5 minutes later, Chloe walked in with Beca not too far behind. The girls sat at a table near the jukebox.

"I'll buy the first round. What do you guys want?" Beca said pulling out her wallet.

"Why don't we just get a couple pitchers of beer?" Chloe asked. The girls shook their heads in agreement and Beca walked to the bar.

"I'll come with you." Chloe said.

Soon enough everyone was a bit tipsy, laughing and having a good time. They were talking about the old days at Barden. They made plans to meet at Jessica's house in a couple weeks to start planning for the wedding.

"I'm headed to the ladies room, be back in a few." Jessica said. This was the perfect opportunity to quickly mention a bachelorette party. Of course this is Stacie's idea and the first person to mention it. Chloe smirked.

"Ok girls, let's talk bachelorette party" Stacie suggested. The girls were excited for Jessica. She was usually quiet in college, but after the ICCA'S when she started dating Benji things changed and she opened up more.

Close to 1 am and four pitchers of beers later, the girls decided to call it a night. Each one hugging the other bidding to be safe going home, the girls left the pub. Work comes too early in the morning.
