Once inside they were pulled apart by their respective teams bombarding them with questions.
Beca had 9 people asking her questions at the same time, although she could only hear 8 of them speaking, but let's be honest she definitely didn't want to hear the direction Lily was taking this. Feeling completely overwhelmed Beca put her hands up and said, "Whoa guys, I am going to need a drink before we start this interrogation."
After successfully finding a drink Beca settled in for the onslaught of questioning. She was dreading all of the questions, but especially Aubrey's questions. They had finally been somewhat getting along, and she just fueled Aubrey's hate fire. But when the blonde approached her smiling and even chuckled while she said, "See I told you that you had a toner for Jesse." Then surprising them all, Aubrey pulled Beca into a hug.
As the questioning was taking place Beca and Jesse would sneak a glance at one another whenever possible, unable to hide the smile that would spread across both of their faces. Amy caught this exchange more than once and finally spoke up saying while waving her hands in the air like trying to shoo something away, "Well shawshank I hope you do something about this tension in the room soon before it smothers us all." All the Bellas laughed at this and decided it was time to enjoy the party.
Jesse finished his own interrogation, and made his way to grab himself and Beca a drink. As he was making his way towards her with two drinks in hand, he noticed some guy trying to chat her up. She looked so bored by this guy and Jesse felt a bit of joy watching this. He noticed her looking for something as this guy was obviously not getting the message she was not interested. When she finally caught his eye and mouthed 'save me' he realized it was him she was looking for.
He smiled and quickly made his way to her side. "Here you go Becs, " he said as he handed her the drink he got her and proceeded to wrap that arm around her waist before looking over at the guy. "Hey man, I am Jesse. I am going to steal her away, have fun at the party." The guy stood there mouth slightly agape as he tried to figure what just happened. Jesse and Beca couldn't contain their laughter as they walked away.
"So how bad was your interrogation?" Jesse jokingly asked.
"Oh you know it was amazing, exactly what I love to do. Answer a ton of questions about my personal life, and how did yours go?" She lightheartedly replied with a smile on her face looking back at him.
"Eh, they were more interested in knowing if this meant that some sort of ban had been lifted. Want to tell me what this ban is all about?" Jesse replied.
Just as Beca was about to respond, Chloe ran up pulling Beca by the arm saying, "Sorry Jesse we gotta dance."
The Bellas started the dance party in the center of the room, and soon many of the other teams were joining in. Jesse stood just off to the side mesmerized by the way Beca was moving to the music. Before he had time to comprehend that she caught him staring, she was moving towards him. "See something you like Swanson," She joked as she grabbed him by the tie and pulled him on the floor to join the rest of the group. "You have no idea." He said under his breath as he followed.
She has to admit she knew she was teasing him with some of her dance moves, but that was the point right? He wasn't innocent in the game either, and they seemed to fueled by one another. The best part was they didn't have to be off just the two of them. While they were looking forward to having some time alone together at some point, that's not what tonight was about. Tonight was about all the teams celebrating a successful season as well as the new national champions. They had been dancing with their respective teams as well as each other for quite awhile, when they were both in need of something to drink. As they were standing at the bar falling into their normal banter, Jesse suddenly seemed to get lost in his thoughts. So Beca playfully shoved him and said, "Hey weirdo you still with me?"
He seemed to quickly shake off whatever had distracted him, and he said, "Of course, sorry just thinking."
"Anything you want to share with me or shall we go back to dancing?"
"Um, actually can we step out on the balcony for a little fresh air before?" He replied.
Beca was a little nervous about what had all of a sudden gotten him so off, but she told him "Sure". And they made their way to the balcony. As soon as they got outside, Beca tugged his hand he had grabbed on their way out and said, "Hey Jess what's up are you sure everything is ok?"
He turned back towards her and took a step closer to her and gave her a sweet smile, and he said, "Yeah I just realized something that's all, and needed to do something about it. " He was inching closer to her with every word and tucked stray piece of hair behind her ear.
She was starting to get an idea what this was all about, but decided to make him admit it so she replied with a grin saying, "Oh really, and what was it you realized?"
Jesse had successfully backed her against the wall, with his lips just inches from hers he said, "That I can do this." Their lips met, and this time was different than their first two kisses. The first two were a little more tentative, more of a promise to each other. This kiss however quickly heated up when she ran her tongue along his bottom lip begging for entrance. He of course obliged her request and parted his lips to her. As their tongues battled for dominance, one of Beca's hands that had been wrapped around Jesse's neck ran down his chest and around his back so she could pull him closer. As their bodies made contact, she felt him moan against her mouth. Oh god this dork was a great kisser she was in trouble. He began to kiss down her neck, but his hands had seemed to stay rooted at her waist. She knew this was his way of trying not to get too carried away considering anyone could walk out that door at any moment. As if on cue, the door flung open and Amy yelled, "There you guys are. Thank god the clothes hadn't come off yet," Beca rolled her eyes and smirked at Amy, and Jesse's head dropped to Beca's shoulder with a sigh, "Come on flat butts, these aca-idiots want to get their asses kicked again. They have challenged a riff off. Let's finish them like a cheesecake."
Beca chuckled and said, "Thanks Amy we will be there in just a minute."
Beca couldn't understand what Amy said as the door was closing behind her, but she was pretty sure she heard something about a quickie so she was glad she didn't hear it. Jesse was standing in front of her when she smiled up at him and said, "ready to lose twice in one night Swanson?" She stood on her tiptoes and pecked him on the lips as she started towards the door.
He laughed and followed her inside as he joked, "Pretty sure y'all lost the last riff off. One win and you seem to forget important facts."
