Beca Mitchell is in a relationship with Jesse Swanson – September 8th.
It had only been 4 days since they had begun dating, Beca was cautious at first as to changing the status, but Jesse was adamant that he wanted to 'show her off'.
Beca didn't even have many friends but her wall was blowing up with congratulations, 'we knew it's' and friend requests from people, clearly Jesse's friends wanting to see who she is and even some of Jesse's family had added her.
Beca ignored the majority of the requests but accepted a couple of the people she had met at school, she didn't answer Jesse's family's requests, she would ask Jesse if he wanted her to accept them later.
Jesse popped up on facebook on the Saturday morning.
Jesse- So Miss Mitchell, where am I taking you on our first date?
Beca- You don't have to take me on a date idiot.
Jesse- Oh Beca, that is where you are wrong.
Beca- You're so weird, where would you like to go? I don't know what's around here to do.
Jesse- CINEMA
Beca- Pick the date wisely if you want another.
Jesse- I was kidding, what about a picnic?
Beca- Sounds great.
Jesse- I'll pick you up around 2!
Beca decided on a pair of leggins as they were no doubt going to be walking and sitting on the floor, her converses and another one of her vest tops. She waited downstairs for Jesse to pick her up so she could get out of the house before her dad tried to ask questions, she hadn't told him about the relationship and he would have seen the status change on facebook.
The door went and Beca bolted towards it, she wanted to leave but Jesse insisted on pulling her into a hug as soon as she opened the door, unfortunately for her, this stalled enough time for her father to leave his study and greet the boy at the door.
'Ah Jesse I presume, come in son'
Beca let out a deep sigh and glared at Jesse for stalling, he probably did it deliberately as an excuse to meet her father. (Well he already knew her father, he taught them both literature.) But Jesse seemed like the kind of boy who wanted a formal introduction.
Jesse and Beca followed her father into the lounge; Molly was on the sofa on her laptop. When the couple arrived in the room Molly looked up and smiled at them both. She knew Beca well enough that if she wanted to know anything, she would have to ask her on her own later, so she simply stared back down towards her laptop. Jesse and Beca sat on the smaller couch and Mr Mitchell stood before them.
'If this is going to be the: What are your intentions with my daughter speech, just drop it dad, don't act like you care about me now.' Beca shot at her dad before he could even begin speaking. He chose to ignore her comment and looked directly at Jesse.
'Where are you going today Jesse?'
'We're going for a picnic in the lake sir' Jesse replied.
'The lake, a very reserved place for a first date isn't it?'
'Well I believe the point in a date sir, is that you get to know your date, that would be hard to do if we were surrounded by people. You may not have noticed but Beca is quite hard to get to open up'.
Beca was impressed at the way Jesse was speaking to her father, formal yet assertive. It was kind of hot.
'Do you plan on having sex with my daughter?'
'WHAT?' Beca shot in before Jesse could even think of a correct answer to that question. Molly had taken her focus off her laptop and was glaring at Mr Mitchell, even she could tell he was clearly trying to annoy Beca.
'Fuck. Off. Dad' Beca responded to him, giving each word a sentence of its own, she took Jesse's hand and led him towards the door before calling back to her father.
'Anyway, thought it was totally cool if I had sex, as long as it's not in this house or my bedroom door is open' Beca called back sarcastically with a snigger when she repeated her dads words he used the week before.
Jesse led Beca down her street and then down an attaching footpath from the pavement, it led them into a collection of trees all circling around a fence. Contained in the fence was a beautiful lake, it was small, iconic. It had a little dock on it assumingly for people to fish, a few benches surrounding it and a tire swing on the tree closest to it. It looked like it belonged in a movie, no wonder Jesse liked it so much.
Jesse pulled out a blanket from his bag and set it on the floor on the decking that led to the water; he then pulled out two juice pouches and containers of food. Strawberries, gummy bears, marshmallows and a tub of nutella.
'Can't go wrong with chocolate fondue right?'
'That you cannot sir' Beca replied whilst shoving her finger into the tub of nutella scooping some out and placing it directly into her mouth.
'No Bec, you can't eat it like that, dip the food it. God!' Jesse pulled out a strawberry, dipped it in the chocolate and directed it towards beca's mouth, it got about an inch away before he snatched it away and placed it in his own mouth.
'I didn't have you pegged as a tease' Beca replied with a pouty face, but the tone of her voice showed she wasn't really upset.
'That's the point it this date right, to get to know about each other?'
'You already know a lot about me Jesse'
'I know the kind of things the rest of the group know, what do you have stored up in that head of yours? I'll make it easier, we'll play a game'.
'This better not be like your stupid alliterations game'
'That game was not stupid!' Jesse said with a gasp. 'But no, we'll play 20 questions'.
'20 is a lot of questions Jesse'
'Okay, we'll play we're going to take it in turns to ask questions until we get bored, Better?'
'I guess, you go first'.
'What's your favourite food?' Beca was glad Jesse had started of lightly, she knew he wanted to get to know what she hid from others, she wanted to open up to him, but maybe not just yet.
'Mint choc chip ice-cream'.
'That's predictable Bec, boo, everyone likes mint choc chip!'
'Hey, don't down on my answers' Beca gave a laugh before asking her question
'I would ask what your favourite drink is, but no doubt that's juice pouches, so erm, what is your... favourite movie?'
'Oh Bec, there's no way I could pick a favourite movie, it's like picking a favourite child!'
'Okay, I'll rephrase it, if you could watch any movie, right now, what would it be?'
'Okay, erm, I would picccckkkkk... Anchor man, as I'm pretty certain that even you Beca Mitchell hater of all movies would find that funny'.
'I have actually seen that film!'
'WHAT, BECA MITCHELL HAS SEEN A FILM?! Did you like itttttt?'
Jesse let his eyebrows rise up into his forehead on the last part of the question.
'It was kind of funny I guess'
'Hurrah, We have found a movie she likes!'
Beca just rolled her eyes at Jesse and began to ask him the next question.
'What do y-'
'No Bec, it's my turn!'
'No you asked me if I liked the movie'
'That doesn't' count!'
'Yes it does! It was a question, wasn't it?'
'Fine'
'Thank you, what do you want to do when you're older?'
'I want to score movies, I want to bring people to tears and I think only music can do that, you know?'
Beca liked the way he smiled when he spoke about his music.
'Do you play any inst-'
'Nope, patience Beca, my question!'
Beca sighed and gestured for him to continue.
'What do you want to do when you're older?'
'I want to produce music, move to LA, get a job and work my way up. It's been my dream as long as I can remember.'
Jesse smiled at her, they lay on the blanket for a while, Jesse pulling Beca so that her head was against his chest.
Although Beca liked the silence, she also wanted to get to know Jesse more, so she continued the game.
'Do you play any instruments?'
'Piano, guitar and a bit of violin'.
'Multi-talented then?'
'I want to compose music Bec, it would be weird if I couldn't play it!' Jesse said with a laugh, he was silent whilst he considered his next question?
'Who's your favourite person in the world? Not including me of course'. Beca felt his chest vibrate, clearly he thought he was very funny.
'My step sister Molly'
'The girl sat on the couch?'
'Yeah, her, she just, gets me you know? We're not actually related but we have so much in common, she likes music, I've taught her how to make a couple mixes but she prefers to sing, she sings on a few of mine. She loves my tattoos, and she even got one to match mine recently, her mum doesn't know yet, but no doubt she is going to flip when she finds out and of course blame me for corrupting her little girl.'
'I didn't have you pegged as a family lover Bec'
'She's the only one; I don't get on with any of my parents. I've always been treated as more of a roommate opposed their daughter.'
Beca felt Jesse's arm tighten around her, he could sense she was upset and wanted to comfort her. They continued to lay in silence before Jesse spoke again.
'Can I introduce you to my family Bec?'
Beca stayed silent, she knew this would have to happen, but she really was liking Jesse and she was certain the minute they met her they would hate her, she didn't want to break up already.
'They already have me on facebook Jesse, plus due to the amount of embarrassing photos you guys have tagged me in they probably wouldn't have the highest opinion of me'.
'My parents aren't going to judge you Bec, my idiot brother might, but you've already met him'.
Beca laughed and gave a slow nod against his chest.
'I could text them and tell them you're coming to dinner, they have already asked me to invite you over, you can erm, stay the night, if you want?'
'Sounds good Jesse, would your parents really trust us enough to let me stay?'. Beca replied with a laugh.
'Yeah, me and my parents, we're pretty open. They trust me, they gave me 'the talk' as soon as I told them I had a girlfriend'
'Shall we go then?'
Beca began to stand up but Jesse pulled her back down towards his chest, she looked up into his face.
'Yes?'
'I do believe it is customary to give your date a kiss if it went well' Jesse replied in an awful British accent.
'Oh is it?'
'It is'
'How do you know the date went well huh?'
'Well you're coming home with me, in simple terms, doesn't that mean that I have pulled?'
Jesse was smirking at what he said. Beca hit him on the chest for being cheeky before pushing herself up so she could reach him.
The kiss started light again, all their kisses had been like this. (Excluding the kiss from the party) Their lips were grazing against each other's lightly, Jesse rotated so that he was leaning on his side, and putting his hand on her hip he pulled her body into his.
This kiss go t deeper, Jesses tongue slid along the entrance to Beca's mouth and she opened it to let him in. He was the first to moan into the kiss but Beca wasn't short to follow when Jesse bit her lip lightly before pulling away.
'As much as I am enjoying this, and I am Miss Mitchell, I think we should try to keep this PG-13 considering we are outside, so therefore should probably stop now before we get carried away'.
Beca laughed and let Jesse help her to stand up. He took her hand and began to lead her towards his home, Jesse quickly pulled out his phone and made them pose for a selfie before changing it to his wallpaper.
The photo was Jesse with his arm around Beca, they both had huge goofy smiles and you could just see the water behind them, Beca liked the photo, she worried herself when the first thing that came to mind was that she hoped he was going to put the photo on facebook.
Ah, hope you guys liked it, pretty please with cherries on top review, pm or anything, I want to know what you think!
