Beca insisted that Jesse had to clean the bite, she offered to clean it herself. He appreciate her offer but declined, at first saying that it wasn't hurting, but caved in when she poked the bite to prove that it hurt and he was just acting tough.

"Shit," Jesse stuffed his hands in his pockets as they walked into the elevator after having Chloe buzz them in.

"What's wrong?" Beca asked watching him prevent the elevator door from closing.

"I forgot my phone in the car."

"And?"

"I need to have it on me at all times," he stepped out of the elevator, "Buzz me in, 'kay?"

"Dude, you make it sound like you're some business man,"

"No, I'm just a father of a 7-month-old baby," he said over his shoulders as he paced to the entrance.

Beca watched him until the elevator's door was shut.

She couldn't wait to get to her apartment, she needed to use the bathroom.

"Buzz Jesse in when he rings the bell," Beca said as she walked past Chloe when she unlocked the door for her.

"Good morning to you too," Chloe watched Beca run her bedroom's way. "Who am I buzzing in?" she didn't catch the name.

"Hi," Beca smiled at the girl sitting in the living room. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting," Beca said a rush.

"It's okay," Meredith pushed up her glasses.

Beca was getting out of the bathroom when she heard Chloe unlock the door. She walked back inside the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit.

"Beca!" Chloe hissed storming inside the bathroom. "Why is the married guy from the wedding here?" she asked. "Please, tell me you didn't hook up with him."

"Chloe, he's divorced and was pretending to be still married to his ex-wife." Beca explained.

"And you believed him?" Chloe said wide-eyed.

"Yeah!" Beca shrugged and walked past Chloe and out of the bathroom.

Jesse was leaning against the front door scrolling down his phone.

"What's your Wifi password?" Jesse asked glancing up when Beca walk out of her room.

"So Meredith, how's it going?" Beca said to her potential roommate as she walked to the kitchen facing the living room then nodded for Jesse to join her.

"Great!" Meredith answered.

"You're a vet, right?" Beca opened the kit and pulled an antibiotic ointment along with a Q-tip.

"Yeah." Meredith watched Jesse sit on a stool.

Beca took his phone from him and typed the Wifi's password then put the phone on the counter and took his hand in hers and eyed the bite.

"I think you should wash it first," Beca thoughtfully said.

"Where can I find the bathroom?" he asked Beca as he got on his feet.

"Um, first bedroom to the right. I think I have a Dettol soap, check in the wall shelf unit," She told him,

"Okay," he nodded and started to make his way to the bedroom. Meeting Chloe's gaze, he frowned noting how she was glaring daggers at him.

Chloe huffed as she walked to Beca.

"Beca what is wrong with you?" Chloe questioned, "You're still in love with your ex-boyfriend who is married now because you dumped him, and you hooked up with a married guy!" she stated

"Can we do this later?" Beca kept her voice even.

"Since when do you sleep with married men?" Chloe asked ignoring Beca's request.

"He's not married." Beca glanced at Meredith who sat up hearing Chloe's words. Beca could see the judgy look the girl had on her face.

"Beca we met his wife for fucks sake!" Chloe didn't hide her frustration.

"I told you, Chloe, they were pretending to be still together because his ex-wife didn't want to ruin her cousin's wedding,"

"You don't know the man, how can you be so sure?" Chloe asked.

"Could you keep your voice down?" Beca requested glancing again at Meredith.

Beca was confident that Meredith thought she was a slut.

"No!" Chloe exclaimed.

"You." She turned to Jesse when he walked out of Beca's bedroom. "You were shamelessly flirting with Beca the entire time. You knew she's an emotional mess yet you took advantage of her! She was drunk, asshole."

"Chloe!" Beca called "I'm standing right here. No one used me! I chose to leave with him. And I told you he's fucking divorced!" She snapped at her friend.

Jesse didn't move forward he kept looking at the two friends before he tilting his head to look at the front door hearing it get shut. Meredith let herself out.

"Great! Now I have to find someone else. Thanks a lot, Chloe." Beca walked to Jesse and took his hand and started to apply the antibiotic ointment gently with a Q-tip.

"Jesse's ex-wife told me herself that they're divorced." Beca after calming herself.

"Want me to call my ex-wife for you?" Jesse hesitantly asked Chloe, she was still glaring at him.

Chloe ran her fingers through her hair then took a deep breath, "I'm sorry," she apologized looking between both Jesse and Beca.

"It's okay," Beca shrugged applying more ointment on the bite. She knew her friend was just looking out for her.

"And I'm sorry about Meredith, she seemed decent."

Beca nodded accepting her apology. "I'll find someone else," she sighed, "she thinks I'm a slut anyway, and I don't care enough to prove to her that I'm not… it's probably for the best that she won't be living with me." she let go of Jesse's hand.

"I'd get this checked if I were you, you never know." Beca looked up at Jesse.

"Okay," he smiled at her.

"What happened to your hand?" Chloe asked walking to them.

"I bit him," Beca informed her, "You don't wanna know why." she added noting the curious look on Chloe's face.

"You're looking for a roommate?" Jesse asked.

"Yeah," Beca answered.

Jesse made his way to the counter and grabbed his cellphone.

"I'm looking for a place." He casually shrugged watching Beca walk to the trash can in the kitchen and drop the used Q-tip in it.

"Wait, you wanna share an apartment with me?" she looked up.

"Yeah!" he rested his elbow on the counter. "I'm a really great roommate. You can ask Sandra for reference." He followed Beca with his eyes as she made her way to the first aid kit and placed the antibiotic ointment back in it. "I lived with her for more than 4 years." Jesse added when Beca looked at him.

"You just got out of a long-term relationship, I've had enough of relationships, I think we'd make great roommates, based on relationship statuses only. We can hate on romance together. We could watch die hard on Valentine's Day. I'll make you a breakup mix." He grinned watching the thoughtful look on her face.

"I don't like movies," she closed the kit then turned on her heels.

"What?" he exclaimed in horror. "Who doesn't like movies?"

Beca raised her hand.

"You need help!" Jesse watched her get in her room. "Is she for real?" he turned to Chloe who eyeing him with narrowed eyes.

"What kind of games are you playing?" she asked him, crossing her arms.

"I swear on my daughter's life that I'm not playing any game," he said in a serious tone. "I'm looking for a new place, and this apartment is great."

"You have a kid?" Chloe said in surprise.

Jesse nodded, unlocking his phone's screen. "This is Sam." He showed Chloe a photo of his daughter.

"She's adorable," Chloe's expression softened.

"Thanks," Jesse smiled at her. He looked behind her when Beca walked out of her room. "Before you say yes," he said confidently, "You should know that Sam is moving in too, for the months her mother would be away… I'm ready to pay two shares if you want." he informed.

"Who said I was gonna say yes?" she arched an eyebrow.

"I'm a total catch, it'll be your loss to turn me down," he said jokingly.

"You're a weirdo," she smiled

"Yes I am. And so are you. It's a good thing we're going to be best friends and/or lovers." He grinned at her, and her smiled dropped.

"Please don't say lovers," she deadpanned.

"I'm kidding," he clarified in case it wasn't clear enough. "So, what d'you say? Roomies?"

"I'll think about it then get back to you," Beca said.

"How long have you been looking for a roommate?" Chloe asked.

"A while," Beca shrugged. 4 months. She has been looking for a roommate for 4 months. Crispin used to live with her and after she dumped him and lived by herself she realized that it sucked to live alone. Way too many chores that she didn't have to time for. Before him, she lived with Fat Amy and Bumper for a year right after they all moved to L.A.

And before that she shared a house with the bellas.

"Why do you think it's taking you so long to find a roommate?" Chloe asked knowingly.

"I don't know,"

"You're way picky… And this guy doesn't look like a creep," she pointed at Jesse. "I don't see any red flags."

"Thanks?" He said.

"And, he has already been in your pants." Chloe shrugged. "What is there to think about?"

Beca didn't reply. She thought about it, Jesse seemed like a decent man. He was helping a stranger when she met him. And, he obviously didn't want to get involved romantically, which was a relief.

"If we're gonna live together there are gonna be some ground rules," she finally said.

"Anything," he shrugged.

"Well, first off, no sexual favors. What happened between us is a one-time thing. I was in a very low place and you were there. No offense."

"Non-taken. What else?"

"My head hurts and I don't wanna miss anything—I'll prepare a list of ground rules for you and text them to you and if you're cool with them then you can pack your stuff and move in, with your kid. And, no, you're not gonna pay two shares, that's stupid."

"Thank you," he pulled her into his embrace and gave her a hug then placed a kiss on her head, she stiffed when he did.

"Relax, it's an innocent act of gratitude," he placed another kiss on her head.

"I like personal space," she mumbled against his chest.

"You didn't seem to mind when I invaded your personal space last night," he chuckled. "And, I'm a hugger get used to this, roomie." He let go of her.

"Dude, I haven't shown you the rules yet,"

"I'm sure they won't be deal breakers," he shrugged then glanced at his phone. "I should get going. It was a pleasure meeting you, Chloe." He turned to Chloe and shook her hand.

"I will get this checked." He lifted his hand at Beca and she nodded,

"You should."

"You called yourself with my phone right?" he asked.

"Yeah,"

"Okay, we'll be in touch." He started to walk backward to towards the front door. "Bye."

Beca watched Jesse as he closed the door behind him before turning to Chloe, feeling her gaze.

"Is he good in bed?" Chloe arched an eyebrow.

"Yep," Beca nodded then started to make her way to her bedroom. Chloe followed her.

"How are you planning on not breaking your first ground rule then?" She leaned against the doorway.

"Because I'm taking a break from relationships, and the whole no strings attached thing is not for me." She grabbed a towel.

"But you do like him?"

"Yeah, he's nice," Beca shrugged.

"No, I meant like him," Chloe emphasized on like. "You know you do,"

"All I know is that I'm not ready for anything." She sighed, "Jesse and I talked and he understands," Beca walked into her bathroom and turned the shower on.

"He could make you get over Crispin, you know" Chloe followed her in.

"No," Beca shook her head, "I'm doing that on my own," she put her hand under the shower to see if it got warmer.

"AHA! So, you do admit that you're not over him!"

Beca rolled her eyes at Chloe then took off her dress. "I'm going to shower, now."

Chloe shrugged.

"Get out Chloe,"

"It's not like I haven't seen you naked before."

Beca knew better than to argue so she got in the shower with her underwear on, drew the curtain then took them off.
