*this chapter will be a romantic one. No drama, just a date night with Jesse and Beca. enjoy!*

*a week before sectionals*

Beca POV

The last month had been a bit hectic. There was the thing with Luke, then a week later the thing with Joey. Since then I'd spent most nights with Jesse but we hadn't had much alone time, we'd come in from class, go to our separate rehearsals which often ran late into the night, go back to whichever room we were staying in, grab food and sleep. He'd be up before me most mornings to go to the gym. He'd been going to the gym a lot more lately. I think it was his way of letting everything out. I was glad he found a release. I put my heart and soul into creating my mixes and trying to get the Bella's prepared for the competition. Although me and Jesse were together there was still great rivalry between us when it came to accapella. The trebles were tough and focused when it came to performing, much like the Bella's. it was certain that we would both be at the Finals this year, but to do so meant we had to make the top two spots at both sectionals and regionals. It would be tough because there were many other groups out there that were just as talented as we both were. I had confidence though, I'm a fighter and I needed to get to the finals to prove myself to the girls, Jesse had to do the same. Tonight though, there would be no speak of the upcoming competition, tonight me and Jesse would finally get some time alone. Even if I had no idea what he had planned, it was exciting.

Jesse POV

Finally after a month of drama and hardly spending quality time with Beca we were going on a date. Finally. She didn't know what I had planned, just what I wanted. I'd decided to surprise her. I'd found a small lake nearby, it was mostly surrounded by woods, but I'd spent hours searching for a perfect spot when I came across a clearing. It was right next to the lake, there was a little pier that went out across the water, I guessed that this was an old camping spot that wasn't used as there were no traces of people anywhere. The grass was bright green and scattered with small purple clovers and yellow buttercups. It was beautiful. I'd packed a picnic and some wine. I wanted it to be classy, but not over the top. We had a nice salad for starters, I'd made a nice cold pasta and tuna dish for dinner and then it would be topped off by chocolate brownies. I'd made it all myself, even the brownies. I was secretly proud, I'd never gone through so much effort before for a girl. But then again Bec wasn't just any girl, she was my girl, my baby, my entire world. She deserved the best in life and that's exactly what I planned to give her. Putting all the food and the blankets in the car I headed off to pick her up. Parking the car outside her dorm I locked it and headed in to the building to get her. I knocked on the door of her room. I could hear her moving around inside, she sounded like she was rushing. It made me laugh, I'd told her 6:30pm for the last week and she still wasn't ready, typical Beca. When she eventually opened the door I was a bit taken back. She looked stunning. She was wearing dark grey denim shorts, with a black crop top that clung to her body perfectly, it showed off a small strip of her stomach, she'd put on a red plaid shirt that hung loosely over it all. She had left her hair natural, which gave it a perfect light curl. She'd put a little bit more make up than normal, nothing major just a bit more lipstick and some grey slightly shimmery eyeshadow. She looked stunning. "good evening m'lady," I greeted, bowing to her and then holding my arm out. She looked at me weirdly, "Nerd." Well its good to see that the old Beca is still there. She took my arm and we headed out to the car laughing.

"so where are we going?" she asked as I drove of campus. I turned to look at her.

"just you wait and see!" I was excited to show her, if I told her then it wouldn't be as good. It was about a 20minute drive off campus. The sun would be setting in about an hour so we had to hurry if we wanted to eat in a decent light. Although I didn't rush, I'd brought a light and some candles just in case. Beca looked around, she seemed confused. After all I'd just driven to some random woods, the lake wasn't visible from here, you had to walk to find it.

"Trust me beca, you're going to love where we're going!" I told her as I got the basket out of the trunk. She shook her head and followed me as I headed into the woods. It was only a short walk but just before we got the clearing I made her close her eyes. She looked even more confused now but she did as I asked. I placed her hands on my shoulders as we walked the last few minutes to the clearing. I put the basket down then went and stood behind her, checking that her eyes were still closed. I wrapped my arms around her waist and whispered in her ear ,"open your eyes Beca."

She opened them and looked around, her mouth dropped open as she scanned the horizon and her surroundings. She spun round in my arms and looked me in the eye, she was smiling and her eyes glistened with happiness. "oh my god Jesse its beautiful here, how on earth did you find it?!" she kissed me softly, yet it was full of passion. As she pulled away I laughed.

"I found it with a lot of hard work and walking. I'm glad you like it. Now shall we set up and eat?" I said gesturing to the food. She nodded eagerly. I sat down next to the basked and got out the blankets, tonight would be perfect, just like my Beca.

Beca POV

The meal was fantastic, I enjoyed it even more knowing that Jesse had cooked it all himself. I was so proud of him, I knew that cooking wasn't really his forte, he'd tried so hard and I could tell, it was delicious. I'd made a point of telling him after every other mouthful that it was delicious and I loved it. We were just finished up the brownies when the sun began to set. It was beautiful, this place was so romantic. I cleared the plates away into the basket when I looked to Jesse. He had a devilish grin on his face. Crap, what was he thinking.

"So Beca, since we've got about 2 hours of light left, wanna go for a swim?" he asked, a cheeky tone was just present in his voice. Was he crazy? Neither of us had our swimwear how on ear could we go… Suddenly I realized what he meant. Was he serious?!

"Are you being serious? You want me, and you, to go skinny dipping?" I was amazed at him, I'd never have thought this was his thing, if I'm honest it wasn't really mine but for some reason it seemed appealing.

"Well if you're up for it," he smiled at me as he spoke. I found it a challenging smile for some reason. Before I knew what I was doing I was on my feet. "first one in gets the blanket after!" I screamed as I ran towards the water, attempting to strip of my clothes as I ran, which in fact was harder than I anticipated. All of a sudden I heard feet running behind me, then a butt naked Jesse sprinted past me onto the pier and dived off the end. Typical. I reached the end of the pier, finally undressed.

"how cold is it?" now that I'd already lost the bet I didn't see any point in rushing in, it looked freezing.

"not that cold, just get in!" he laughed as he swam around in front of me. I shook my head and took a step backwards. In a matter of seconds Jesse had swam to the step of the pier, climbed up and wrapped his arms around me. He wouldn't. "Jesse, don't you dare!" I cried as he picked me up.

"Sorry Bec's," he apologised as he held me over the edge. I glared at him and he just laughed. Then he dropped me. I screamed as my warm body hit the ice cold water. I was going to kill him. I heard a splash as I rose to the surface. I turned round to see him in the water.

"Dick." I muttered as he came closer. He put his arms around me and picked me up, I wrapped my legs around him, he was taller than me so he was able to stand here, even though I wasn't. His touch sent sparks through my blood, I felt close to him, closer than I normally did.

"you don't mean that babygirl," he whispered in a husky, yet incredibly sexy voice. He placed a soft kiss on my lips before trailing little kisses down my neck. I left out a small moan as he reached the spot on my neck that I loved. He moved back to that particular spot and started placing more and more kisses, each kiss more passionate than the last. After a few minutes he started kissing back down my neck towards my breast. He shimmied me up his body some more so he could reach them easier. He took one in his mouth and started slowly sucking on it. I let out another moan, this one was louder and more needy than the last. I wanted him. He seemed to sense this because the next thing I knew he was carrying my out of the water. I slid down his body and he captured my lips in his. He laid me down on the blanket and pulled back. Placing his hands either side of my head he looked down at me. He lowered himself down onto me, supporting his weight in his arms.

"I love you Jesse," I breathed, he slowly kissed me before talking.

"I love you too Beca." He kissed me once more before slowly entering me. Tonight would be magical, passionate yet romantic. The best that either of us had ever had before. This man was all I ever wanted, all I ever needed, and the best thing is that he felt the same. Tonight we truly became one, tonight I believed that nothing would ever tear us apart. He was my forever.
