8. Her name really is Beca

It's their third shift together at the radio station, after she spend most of the first two rolling her eyes and ignoring his attempts to talk to her (but he saw her how her lips would turn up when she thought he wasn't looking), they are halfway through a crate of yet un-staked CD's and vinyl's when Jesse decides to try starting a conversation with her again.

"How are you enjoyed collegiate life so far Becky?" he asks, smiling as he tries to figure this girl out.

"Its Beca" she answers, her back to him as she tries to return a CD to its place proper place in the top shelf while on her tiptoes (and he can't help but stare at the sliver of creamy skin exposed when her shirt rides up).

"Oh, I thought since Luke calls you Becky..." Jesse lets the rest of the sentence hang in the air as a way of explanation, going up behind her to slip the CD into its rightful place.

"He's an idiot" she mumbles, taking a step away from him, the space between them suddenly too close.

"So.. Beca, like Rebecca?" he asks after a few more minutes of awkward silence.

"No. Just Beca"

"Your parents named you Beca?" there's a smile in his face, the one he can't take of his face whenever he sees her (this girl is really something).

"Yours named you Jesse?" she throws back, trying to sound annoyed but he can see the corner of her lips tug up no matter how much she is forcing them down.

"Touche"

Months later, when they are apart because of summer break (he really misses her, almost three months away so early into their relationship sort of sucks) and they spend any free time texting or calling one another. One night while they're Skyping they somehow make their way back into the conversation of names because Beca wants to know his middle name (Dylan), Jesse decides to ask her again about her name because he sort of thinks she was joking all those months ago.

"It really is just Beca, weirdo" he watches as her eyes roll at his question and he realizes he misses even that. "Want me to pull out my birth certificate?"

Jesse laughs at her question "No, it just sounds like a nickname"

"I guess, my dad wanted to name me Rebecca but my mom didn't really like it. Somehow they agreed on Beca"

"I like Beca, it's so perfectly you" Jesse says, the smile of her lips almost his heart skip a beat "Unique and short"

Beca can do nothing but glare as her boyfriend almost falls out of his bed due to laughter.

Again I apologize for the late update.

I hope you guys are enjoying it so far (the lack of reviews for the last chapter was kind of a bummer).
