We're taking on the world together,
And there's a drawer of my things at your place.
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded,
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.
"What's up, weirdo?" Jesse said walking over to Beca with a towel in one hand and a backpack on his back. Beca looks up from her laptop and takes off her headphones.
"Okay. What's this?" Beca asks as she watches him set down the towel next to her and the backpack on the towel.
"As much as I love spending time with you stacking CDs…and I do. I love it, like more than life. I figured we could do some other fun things that don't make us wanna kill ourselves, right?" Jesse asks as he sat down on his towel and placed his backpack in front of him.
"Yeah," Beca agrees.
"So, I brought some movies. Jaws, E.T., the Breakfast Club. We need to get back to our movications, Bec. We can't have you getting rusty." He says as Beca rolls her eyes. She should have seen this coming. In high school he had always been trying to show her movies, in their free period, during lunch or showing up at her house.
"Yeah, in between Bellas rehearsals, which are always." Beca says taking a sip of the juice pouch he had taken out of his backpack.
"Are you guys getting ready for the riff-off?" Jesse asks putting his backpack to the side and turning to face her.
"What the hell is a riff-off?" Beca asks. Jesse's face morphs into one of pure delight and almost deviousness.
"Oh, if you don't know I am not going to tell you." Jesse says getting his own juice pack.
"Damn it Jesse, just tell me." Beca says as she looks over at her boyfriend daring to deny her.
"What about if we win… hmm" He says until Beca interrupts him.
"If you win? I don't even know what happens." Beca says exasperated, Jesse shakes his head at her.
"That would make it all the more fun. If the Trebles win and we will. We have to go out to that restaurant I've wanted to take you to." Jesse says. Jesse knows that she hates to dress up and going to this restaurant would require that.
"Fine then, when the Bellas win no movications for a month." She challenges.
"Deal," Jesse says sticking his hand out at her. She takes his and shakes it firmly.
Across the quad she can see Stacie walking by with a guy that she must be planning to 'hunt' that night. Stacie's eyes meet Beca and give her a look that says 'do it right now.' Stacie and Fat Amy had talked some sense into Beca telling her how she needs to tell him about the oath. She was just glad that they had agreed to keep it a secret. She had promised to tell him about the oath and Stacie could tell that she hadn't yet.
"Jesse," She said as he looked back over at her. Beca took a deep breath to try to calm her nerves and it didn't help in the slightest.
"There was something I didn't tell you about the Bellas." She started. Seeing the look of curiosity on his face she continued hoping to build more strength as she went on.
"There was an oath that we had to take on initiation night. It was basically that we wouldn't sleep with a Treble maker." Beca said. There was pure astonishment on his face as her words sunk in.
"Bec, we have slept together multiple times since you took that oath. Could you get kicked out of the Bellas?" He asked in rapid fire. Beca slowly nodded in response and Jesse ran a hand through his hair.
"You could get kicked out. Why didn't you tell me this until now? Is this why you've been distant? If you want to break up cause of this I'd totally get it." Jesse rambles and he continues as Beca stares at him shocked; not fully sure how to respond.
"Jesse," Beca says and when he doesn't reply she looks to see him still rambling.
"Jesse!" She says louder and he turns to look at him. He turns to her and something resembling being heart broken is in his eyes and it tears at her.
"I don't want to break up," She starts and he looks less worried for a moment; but is about to give her a rebuttal but she holds her hand up to silence him.
"I want there to still be an us. But we would have to keep it a secret from the Bellas and Trebles. Bumper wouldn't hesitate to tell Aubrey that we are together." Beca says and looks at Jesse to hope that he understands her.
"Okay, we'll just be more careful. What about those two girls that came in yesterday, they probably heard us." Jesse says carefully his face scrunching up.
"Uh yeah, they already know…" Beca says. Jesse gapes at her and the back of his neck turns red. She smirks at him and he looks down at the grass. A laugh bubbles out of her throat and she can't help but continue to laugh at the puppy dog look on his face.

"Hit it! Welcome to the riff-off! Who's ready to get vocal? The winners get the greatest prize of all..." Justin says into the microphone; while Beca looks around bored.
'I'm taking you down' Jesse mouths at her.
"..The microphone used by Hoobastank…" Justin continues and the couple is oblivious.
'I don't care' Beca mouths back and he rolls her eyes.
"…when they rocked out at the Schnee Performing Arts Centre. Let's see our first category. Ladies of the 80's." Justin announces. Excited chatter erupts from the groups and they prepare what songs they think would fit.
"Oh Mickey, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind
Hey Mickey, Hey Mickey,
Oh Mickey, you're so fine"
The Trebles start singing. Beca almost bursts out laughing at her boyfriend getting into singing the song.
The BU Harmonics interrupt with one of their famous Madonna songs.
"You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours till the end of time
Cause you make me feel
Yeah, you make me feel
So shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like"
Aubrey's eyes lit up and she ran to the center of the pool to start the song that she had thought of.
"Like the one in me
That's okay
Let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes
let's get down to it
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot"
One of the high notes ran to the middle and started to sing It Must Have Been Love and other a cappella groups and watchers were booing.
"The negative side effects of medical marijuana, folks. You are…Cut off! Stoney Baloney. Let's check out our next category." Justin says spinning the wheel.
"So we just pick any song that works?" Beca whispers to Chloe on the sidelines.
"Yeah, any song." Chloe says nodding back. Beca smirks and wants to have a plan of revenge to make sure that she beats Jesse.
"And you just go with it? Nice" Beca says; her eyes searching out for Jesse. He was messing around with the other Trebles.
"And our next category is…songs about sex." Justin announces.
"Sex?" Aubrey asks; the girls around her nods and they try to figure out what would fit.
"Fire away
Na na na
Come on
Na na na na na
Come on, come on, come on
Cause I may be bad
But I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air
I don't care I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Cause I maybe bad
But I'm perfectly good at it"
Cynthia Rose starts as the rest of the group sings along to S&M. Beca smirks at Jesse as she sings along to the song. He gulps obviously and she smiles at the effect she is having.
"Sex baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that maybe
Let's talk about sex
Alright
Let's talk about sex
A little bit, a little bit
Let's talk about sex, baby"
The Trebles start singing with Donald leading the rap. Beca nods admitting that they sound pretty good and Jesse knows that this is what she is saying.
"Baby, all through the night
I'll make love to you
Like you want me too
And I"
Stacie interrupts flipping her hair over her shoulder. She used her sex appeal to her advantage to try to shake the guys from responding. Until the one guy that would not be affected by Stacie's charms, her boyfriend and it didn't help that she knew this.
"And I guess it's just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all in the world to me
It feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
It feels like the first time"
Jesse starts singing and she knows that if he finishes this he will win the bet and she can't let that happen. She can tell that he is trying to sing to her and she shakes her head at him. Though what makes it ironic for them is that Beca was his first time and he was hers. Beca hopes that her idea will work; the one way that she has thought to cut him off. Before she can think about it anymore she runs forward to cut him off.
"It's going down, fade the Backstreet
The homies got RB collab' creations
Bump like acne, no doubt
I put it down, never slouch
As long as my credit could vouch
A dog couldn't catch me, straight up
Tell me who could stop when
Dre making moves
Attracting honeys like a magnet
Giving 'em eargasms with my mellow accent
Still moving the flavor with the homies
Blackstreet and Teddy
The original rump shakers"
Beca raps and motions for her boyfriend to back off. Her adrenaline of starting to rap is slowly fading as she notices that no one else in the Bellas have joined in. Beca pauses after she hits that part.
"Keep going," Jesse encourages.
"Shorty get down, good Lord
Baby got them open up all over town
Strictly biz she don't play around
Cover much ground, got game by the pound
Getting paid is a forte
Each and every day true player way
I can't get her outta my mind
I think about the girl all the time
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
Baby
I like the way you work it,
No diggity, I got to bag it up
Baby,
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
Baby
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
Babe
I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up
We out!"
Beca finishes singing. She was glad that Amy had joined in and was happy at the look of astonishment on Jesse's face. Beca had been amazed by how other groups and people standing by had joined in.
"I mean you're welcome." Beca says as she looks over at the Treble makers and the look of surprise on their faces.
"It's a tough blow ladies. The word you needed to match was "it." And you sang, "It's." You are…cut off!" Justin says and the girls gawk at him in surprise.
"Are you serious?" Beca asks incredulously hoping that Justin was pranking them.
"The Trebles win!" Justin shouts into the acoustics of the pool. The girls reel for a moment as they process what had just happened. Beca was pissed; Jesse had then won the bet. She would have to dress up to go to the restaurant that he wants to go to; and he wouldn't let her pay for her meal.
"I've never heard that rule! Ladies, ladies, come on. Come back. Before everybody goes to bed tonight, I need you to make a list of everything you did wrong." Aubrey says to the group as they form a circle around their leader.
"Hey guys, what we just did was great, right?" Beca asks looking at the faces around her. Some of them showed agreement with her statement and others were still annoyed with their lost.
"Calm your pits Beca, we still lost." Aubrey says crossing her hands over her chest.
"Yeah but it was spontaneous. It was awesome. We were actually listening to…" Beca says hoping that they can see the actual good in what they did.
"Okay everybody, hands in. "Ahhhh" on my count." Aubrey says interrupting Beca. Beca resists the urge to roll her eyes at Aubrey.
"On three, after three." The Bellas debated on how to complete this task.
"One, two, three." Cynthia Rose says mimicking how they should do it.
"Why can't we figure this out?" Stacie asks.
.
.
"Alright so here is some of my new mixes. Uh, I was working with Titanium." Beca says and hands Jesse the headphones. He takes them and puts them on and listens to the songs. His head moves along to the beats and smiles as he listens. Jesse takes them off and hands them back to Beca.
"It was really good. You should send that one to me." He says using his puppy dog face to change her opinion.
"Fine," Beca concedes. She starts typing an email out to send him the mix. He smiles and goes over to his backpack. Jesse pulls out his laptop and a single DVD case; he flashes the cover to her and she gets up to walk over to the bed. Beca curls up in his arms as he sets up the movie on his laptop.
Jesse places on arm around her waist as he spoons her from behind and she intertwines her fingers through his. He hits play on the movie and the Breakfast Club begins to play. The Breakfast Club is one of the only movies that Beca is able to stay awake to; thanks to this nerd beside her. They watch it in silence because they both know it so well and what the other would say.
They are torn away from their little bubble when Kimmy Jin and some of her friends walk into the room.
"The white girl is back." Kimmy Jin states. Beca and Jesse look up at her and Jesse reaches over to Beca to close his laptop. She starts to move out of his embrace when he pulls her back for a moment.
"You want to get something to eat?" Jesse whispered hotly into her ear. Beca nodded back and they got up. Jesse put his laptop and DVD case in his backpack and threw it on. They walked out of the room away from Kimmy Jin and her friends. Jesse closed the door behind him and Beca.
