Beca entered the apartment and rushed to the bathroom to pee. As she opened the door quickly, she screamed in surprise when she saw the naked person in the bathroom. "GAH!"
"AH!" Chloe quickly covered herself with her towel. "Don't you ever knock?!"
"Don't you ever lock the door?" Beca quickly looked away and held her jeans to keep it from falling then zipped it back. For a moment she forgot about peeing. She sighed frustration and went out of the bathroom then closed the door on her way out.
She waited by the door and it's been God knows how long. The thoughts of needing to use the bathroom are coming into mind. If it was Jesse or one of her friends, she would probably pound at the door by now. But she needed to try her best to be polite and nice because as what Jesse Swanson said, "She's a guest so be nice."
"Done," Chloe finally came out of the bathroom and looked at Beca with an innocent smile. "Are you gonna take a shower?"
"Nope, I just need to pee," Beca immediately entered the bathroom and turned to Chloe, "Next time. Please lock the door."
"It's broken," Chloe answered non-chalantly and went to the guest room to put on some clothes.
Beca just rolled her eyes in response and did her business in the bathroom. Afterwards, she checked the lock. The redhead was right. It is broken.
Later that afternoon at the apartment, Jesse and Aubrey were sitting on the couch in the living room and planned their wedding. They –Well, Aubrey- had scanned dozens of magazines and took note of the ones they wanted to have on their wedding - cakes, dresses, flower arrangements and the like. Both of them agreed to have a small simple wedding and just invite their close friends and family. Nothing extravagant. But with the magazines right in front of them, Aubrey totally forgot about the initial "simple wedding" plan.
"Babe, I want you to think about the amount of money we're going to spend on this thing," Jesse pointed out. He grabbed a magazine and opened it.
"This thing?" Aubrey gave Jesse a questioning look, raising her eyebrows.
"I mean, our wedding," Jesse corrected himself and cleared his throat. "Our wedding wasn't supposed to be until next year. But you wanted it to be next month."
"We have to get married in a month because my Visa is about to expire!" Aubrey replied in a low voice, careful not to let Beca or anyone else hear their conversation.
"I still can't believe you're Canadian," Jesse said with a chuckle and tossed the magazine on the coffee table.
"Who's Canadian?" Beca passed by the living room then went to the kitchen.
Aubrey glared at Jesse and her boyfriend shrunk in fear. The blonde started to pinch Jesse's arm and forced him to come up with an explanation. "Uh," He began to stutter as he winced at the pain, "No one. Just… a side… of my family."
Beca came back from the kitchen and opened her apple juice pouch. She quirked an eyebrow at her friends and noticed the shit load of magazines on the coffee table. "And I thought it was just a simple wedding." She sat on the lounge chair beside the table, right across the couch. She picked up one of the magazines and gave it a quick scan.
"Just looking," Aubrey said and forced a smile, thinking if Beca heard their conversation.
"If you need a wedding dress, you can have mine," Chloe chimed in, coming from behind them. "Ooh! When are you guys getting married?" She asked excitedly and sat on one of the chairs beside the couch.
"They want to get married next month," Beca answered and continued to scan at the cake magazine while taking a sip of her juice.
"Ohh! Where?" Chloe asked the couple in excitement. Jesse and Aubrey were about to answer but then Beca cut them off.
"They planned to get married in some museum. Like in that movie… The Vow?" Beca said and looked the couple who were slightly glaring at her.
"Okay, it's not your wedding," Jesse pointed out.
Beca just rolled her eyes and tossed the magazine on the coffee table. Chloe continued interviewing the soon to be married couple, "I want to hear the proposal story! I can totally imagine it's romantic as hell. Back in high school, Jesse came up with the sweetest promposal! Such a cheeseball."
Jesse smiled shyly and Aubrey gave him an impressed look. Chloe continued on, "So Jesse, how did you propose? I want to know all the details."
Jesse and Aubrey switched looks and tried to come up with a fake proposal story. Beca noticed this and leaned forward, suddenly feeling intrigued with the flustered couple. She knew something was going on. It was so unnatural for Aubrey to be this nervous over a story. She remembered how happy the blonde was when they celebrated their first anniversary. She couldn't stop talking about that "romantic evening they shared" but this time, Beca expected Aubrey to tell the proposal story multiple times. She hadn't heard anything from Aubrey about it yet. A mischievous smile suddenly crept on her face.
"Yeah, I never heard Aubrey's side of the proposal story," Beca said, looking at her two friends. "Was it as romantic as how Jesse told me?"
Jesse cleared his throat and let out a nervous smile, "Y'know, Chloe. You can just ask Beca about it. Babe?" Jesse turned to his girlfriend and made a gesture that they should keep going but Aubrey stayed in her seat and answered the question.
"He took me out on a romantic night and then he popped the question." It was actually a script she came up. She had never encountered anyone asking for details yet. It's only been a week since they decided to get married and she only had a handful of friends to tell about it.
Beca quirked an eyebrow, "I'm quite unimpressed, Swanson."
Jesse let out a nervous chuckle and pulled Aubrey closer. Beca stood up and continued, "I've always thought you would do something really special and not just some 'romantic night out'" She said using air-quotes to emphasize her point, "Because the Jesse Swanson I know would do something like let's say take Aubrey to the rooftop and design a huge-ass banner with the words 'Will you marry me?' Surrounded by her favorite flowers and you would go sky-diving in your suit and tie and landed on the roof like James Bond with ease. Is that- Is that your proposal story?"
Aubrey shot her fiancée a glare and Jesse just let out a nervous smile but sighed in defeat, "Okay. Fine. I lied." He sighed before saying, "She… She kinda…proposed to me."
"JESSE!" Aubrey shrieked.
"What? It was so obvious anyway. Beca had figured it out," Jesse gestured at her best friend who was now laughing hysterically.
"Wait," Chloe said, "What? Aubrey proposed to you?"
Aubrey was feeling rather embarrassed at that point. She stood up, "Okay," She took a deep breath as if she was going to make a big confession, "I'm Canadian and my Visa is about to expire and I'm about to be deployed. I lied to the government people that Jesse and I are going to get married in a month. So they gave me a chance to stay in this country until we officially got married."
Beca just scoffed, "I knew it! But I didn't know you were Canadian."
Fat Amy looked at the list of her possible roommates but none of them met her expectations. She had been conducting multiple interviews and she was down to the last person on the list. Just in time, there was a knock on the door.
She opened it and was met by a tall brunette, "Hi! I'm Stacie Conrad. We spoke on the phone?"
"Yeah, come on in," Fat Amy let her in and Stacie already looked around the apartment.
"Nice place," Stacie complimented and nodded in approval, agreeing to herself that she could live here.
"So I only have a couple of questions for you. Do you like cleaning?"
"From time to time," Stacie checked the ceiling for any leaks.
"I might be having people in here most of the time. Is that okay?" Fat Amy continued to ask. She watched Stacie walking around the apartment.
"Like a party?" Stacie asked.
"No, my friends. They just live across the hall. Is that cool?"
"Yeah, totally. I like meeting new people," Stacie replied happily.
"Okay, great," Fat Amy took down notes, "Okay, last question. Do you cook?"
"Of course! I'm a chef at Carlos'"
Fat Amy widened her eyes and said, "Okay, when are you moving in?"
Stacie turned to her would-be roommate in confusion, "Uhm…"
"Congratulations! You're my new roommate. You passed the interview!" Fat Amy said happily and hugged the other woman who simply laughed.
"Yay!" Stacie said but their bubble was popped when a certain small brunette came in the apartment, laughing.
"AUBREY IS CANADI- Wow," Beca quickly noticed the beautiful woman and almost drooled at how gorgeous she is. Fat Amy cleared her throat but Beca kept her eyes on the woman.
"Beca, this is my new roommate, Stacie. And vice versa."
Stacie smirked seductively at the dazed brunette and reached for a handshake, "Nice to meet you, Beca."
"Your hands are so soft," Beca muttered as she shook her hand and gained composure, "Uh… I mean, Yeah. Nice to meet you too." She laughed nervously and what the two women didn't notice was that Amy was grinning at them and came up with a plan.
A/N: Hmm I sense Steca… We'll see how this goes lol. At this point, I don't have a definite plot in mind for this story. And yes, I was aiming for a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. feel for this fanfic. ;)
