AN: Thank you the amazing feedback, you guys rule!
I didn't expect the response this fic got. Seriously Thank you for reading.
Jesse woke up the next day on a couch at Chloe's apartment, feeling like crap, everyone was asleep on the floor, expect for Beca who was curled up next to him, actually her shifting in her sleep woke him up, she elbowed him murmuring "Move fuckface."
He got up trying his best not to wake her up.
"Morning." Beca said in a low voice as she took a seat on a stool.
"Good morning, how are you feeling?"
"I could use some coffee. How long have you been up?" She replied holding her head.
"I made something better than coffee" He said grinning.
He then placed a mug of the 'cure' in front of her.
"Thanks."
"I woke up like an hour ago, you elbowed me in your sleep"
"I've been told I'm a wrestler in my sleep" Beca grimaced.
"It's okay. I made enough of the magical drink for everyone."
"That's very motherly of you Jess."
"I had fun last night. Thanks for asking me to come"
Beca nodded in acknowledgment before drowning down the drink in one breath.
"So do all your parties end up becoming slumber parties?"
"Weird enough. Yes. It's like we're in college again."
"Speaking of college, wanna do the college thing to do to your hung-over friends"
Beca put her hair in a lazy bun then said "Let's do this. Lemme grab some markers, you go open the curtains."
"Okay."
Beca got back after finding dark markers, she threw one to Jesse, they both started drawing on everyone's face.
"What do you say we wake them up?" Beca stretched, admiring their handy work. Her headache was starting to fade
Jesse nodded happily.
Beca turned the stereo on, then started to sway her hips to the song that was playing.
Jesse leaned against the wall. He closed his eyes listening to the song that he didn't recognize.
"Who made this mashup?" He asked as he opened his eyes.
"I did." Answered Beca over the music.
"This is really good."
"Thanks."
"I never asked you, what d'you do for a living?"
"I produce music" Beca replied catching a pillow Fat Amy threw at her.
"You?"
"I score movies."
"Cool."
"Shut it down!" Stacie groaned.
"Wake up you dipshits, it's almost midday."
She then threw the pillow at Stacie who took it and buried her face in it.
Chloe, Aubrey, Stacie and Fat Amy were waiting for Beca at a restaurant. They made plans to have lunch together.
"About time, Beca." Aubrey said in annoyance
"Sorry guys, I got caught up at work. The asshole I'm working with keeps changing his mind. It's like he's testing my patience." Beca grimaced as she took a seat.
"It's okay, you're here now." Chloe said smiling
Beca smiled back as she grabbed the menu
"So, what did I miss?"
"Stacie's latest sexual adventure" Aubrey answered disgusted.
"Glad I missed that" Beca said going through the menu
"Stacie, I need you to stop bringing guys over for the next week."
"Can't do, you know he's a hunter"
"Hunter your life away Stacie, just don't bring your victims home just for a week"
"Why?" asked Chloe.
"Step monster's daughter is visiting, it's a business trip, but dad kept telling me how rude it would be if I let her stay in a hotel."
"Since when does Beca Mitchell play nice?" Chloe snorted
"Dad tore my ear off over the phone, I'm pretty sure if I said no he would have played 'the family' card and brought up how I missed Christmas and I didn't want to hear a lecture. Meh, she's not that bad. I can co-exist with her in the same apartment for a week."
"When is she flying in?" Aubrey asked.
"Tomorrow evening I think. She told me not to pick her up she's got some work related shit to do. I texted my address she'll get a taxi to my place. How is work going Chloe?" Beca asked changing the subject
"Pretty good. Actually, we've been approached my some production company to film at our Dancing school."
"That's great news, Chlo."
"Amy, you've been awfully quiet. What's up?" Beca asked placing back the menu
"Nothing. I just giving my meal my full attention." Fat Amy replied avoiding eye contact
"Oh, don't give me that crap, spilled it out." Beca said, motioning for the waiter to come over.
"You know how I tried the dating thing? I can't do it, I can't be tied down by anything. I'm a free range pony that can't be tamed."
"You've been going with the guy for like a month, Fat Amy" Aubrey stated
"Break up with him." Beca said, rolling her eyes. She then shifted her attention the waiter placing her order.
"Yeah, don't listen to her." Said Chloe to fat Amy, when the waiter left
"The cynical commitment phobe doesn't have a say in this." Chloe continued glaring at Beca.
Beca threw her hands up in the air in defeat.
"Amy, do what makes you happy. If being single does, then be it." Chloe said to Fat Amy in a more gentle tone.
"That's what I said, in fewer words" Beca said rolling her eyes
Beca's phone rang indicating a text from Jesse
'A team of badass commandos on a mission in a jungle in Central America. They end up getting hunted down by a very mean E.T'
Beca smiled at the text then put her phone back in her bag.
"Who was that?" Chloe asked sipping her diet coke
"Jesse. He's been sending me movie plots, trying to lure me into watching one of them with him." Beca replied smiling
Her phone rang again, indicating another text from Jesse.
'A bride wreaks vengeance after being 4 years in a coma on a bunch of assassins who betrayed her. It has a shit load of blood and people guts all over the place, you'll love it.'
Beca passed her phone to her friends so they can see for themselves.
"Persistent!" Aubrey remarked handing her back her phone
Beca put her phone on the table.
"Yeah and annoying and has a weird obsession with movies. In the last 2 days he sent me like twenty something plot" Beca said shaking her head in amusement
"You like him."Chloe smirked
"No I don't."
"Oh yes you do. But you are scared shitless and don't want those tiny feelings you're starting to feel to grow, 'cause you think low of people and don't believe in love or whatever shit you keep saying. But in all honesty you're just afraid of letting your guard down" Stacie said.
Touché, you bitch.
"You can't argue with her." Fat Amy said pointing to Stacie
"You can't go full on shrink on me Stacie, I'm not one of your patients" Beca argued
"You're one of my best friends, and as a friend I am entitled to call you on your shit once in a while."
"We all are entitled to that" Aubrey added nodding.
"Bec, it's okay to like him, not everyone is a douche." Chloe said with a sad smile.
Beca leaned back in her chair. Stacie's words hit close to home.
Her phone rang again indicating another text
'A bitchy boss forces her assistant to marry her in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid getting deported to Canada.'
She sighed and tapped her fingers on the table for a while then grabbed her phone replying 'Fine. I'll watch a damn movie with you. Make it short and not a ROMANTIC COMEDY'
Few seconds after she she hit send he called her.
"Finally!" he said, excited.
"Yeah well, I think my phone ODed with your texts."
"I threw my fist in the air when I saw your text, everyone at work thinks I'm an idiot"
"You are an idiot." Beca said in a matter of faculty tone.
The waiter came with her order.
"When can I start your moviecation?"
"I said one movie. And if you're free this Thursday would be great." She said as she ate a fry.
"2 days from now, okay I can do that. I got the movie for you, you'll love it." He said emphasizing on the 'the'
Beca got rid of her shoes the moment she stepped inside the apartment, after dropping her bag and keys on the nearest chair.
Jesse is gonna be here in like an hour, no long shower.
She was tired, it was a long day at the office. Well in her case a long day at the studio.
She first hanged her jacket then went to the stereo turning it on, blasting Avril Lavigne's Smile.
Dancing along to the song, she started unbuttoning her shirt, but paused half way to pull her hair in a lazy bun.
Walking to her room, she tripped over a T-shirt. fucking Stacie.
Beca felt a gaze on her as she knelt to grab the T-shirt from the floor
"Oh hey, Liz" Beca greeted.
"I thought you'd be gone by now." Rephrase, rephrase "I mean, you said you had a dinner or something" Beca said as she opened the door to Stacie's room throwing the T-shirt on her bed.
"I thought you had a working dinner" Beca closed the door to Stacie's room.
"That's tomorrow, the dinner is tomorrow." Liz replied, making her way to the kitchen.
"My bad." Beca said over her shoulders as she entered her room.
"Hey Beca" Liz called as she entered Beca's room after knocking.
Beca was getting out of the shower
"Yeah?" Beca replied aloud from the bathroom as she warpped herself in a towel
"Some guy just came, he said you're expecting him. Um, his name is Jesse"
"Oh, okay thanks." Beca said as she got out of the bathroom.
Liz nodded and got out.
Beca and Liz relationship has always been awkward, They don't particularly hate each other but they don't like each other either.
Sheila had her from her first marriage but unlike Beca, she likes her parent's significant other.
Liz is the total package; she's pretty, blond with mesmerizing green eyes, 5 foot 7 and works as an architect. Yeah the total package.
After getting dressed in a pair of legging, a sweatshirt and was done blow drying her hair, Beca made her way to turn off the stereo, her eyes fell on Jesse who jump off the stool the moment he saw her get out of her room.
"Hi." He said grinning.
"How are you doing, nerd?" Beca asked as she made her way to Jesse
"I'm doing well. You?"
"I'm about to watch a movie which is something I just love doing. I slept a total of 10 hours in the last 2 days and the artist that I'm working with is a complete moron. I'm doing great." She replied, giving him a thumb up.
"You think everyone is a moron" Liz chuckled.
Beca looked up to Liz who was typing something on her phone or maybe playing some game and sitting by the kitchen table.
"I see you met my stepsister, Liz" Beca said nodding towards Liz.
"Liz. Jesse, my-" she paused. "-My friend" she continued motioning with her hand between them.
Jesse flashed Liz a cheeky smile, Liz gave him a curt nod of acknowledgement and a small smile.
"I'm gonna be in the guest room" Liz said grabbing what seemed to be paperwork.
"So, what are we watching?" Beca asked
Jesse reached for his Back bag and grabbed a DVD case.
"Breakfast club" he said holding the case close to his chest
"This movie has one of the best movie soundtracks ever. It's one my favorite 80s movies." he continued
Jesse walked to the TV and placed the DVD in the player. Jumping on the couch, he said "I want to watch you watch the ending of this movie then I can die a hero" then he motioned for her to join.
Cleaning her throat, she sat next to him. Making sure to keep 'the safety distance'.
Beca tried to stay awake, but 15 minutes in the movie, she dosed off.
She woke up to Jesse's voice "You weren't kidding about never making it to the end." In her sleep, Beca leaned against Jesse's shoulder.
Beca sat up stifling a yawn, she look at the TV, the movie was in pause mode.
"You're clearly in need of sleep. And being the considerate friend I am. I'm going to stop this moviecation" Beca's eyes winded in joy "However you are going to watch the ending. It's the greatest ending to any movie ever"
Beca rolled her eyes as she sunk in the couch groaning as Jesse pressed play.
Jesse commented over the movie about the choice of song, all the while Beca was smirking at how pointless his trivia was. nerd.
As the movie kept playing Beca looked at Jesse, her eyes traveled between his focus eyes and his lips. Eyes on the movie, Mitchell.
Her mind traveled to the night she made out with him, she bit her lip at the memory.
Jesse caught her staring at his lips.
"You're missing the ending"
"Sorry" She said as she looked back to the TV.
She felt his gaze on her so she glanced back. Oh, fuck he's leaning over.
Beca's heart was racing faster than a melting snow cone in hell as she felt the warmth of his breath inches away from her lips.
