Waking up with a headache, Jesse opened one eye to see Beca curled up in his arms. Vaguely remembering the night before he got up slowly in hopes of not waking her up at seven in the morning on a Sunday.
Hearing the shower run, Beca woke up. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand and groaned when she saw that it was barely half-past seven, burring her face in a pillow.
As she was falling back asleep the shower stopped and a few seconds later bathroom door opened.
Watching her shift Jesse said in hoarse voice "You up?" She nodded into the pillow in response.
After dressing up in a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt, Jesse jumped onto the bed. Resting his weight on his left elbow, he said "Go take a shower while I make breakfast"
"I'll take one when I get home, I don't wanna wake up yet." She mumbled sleepily into the pillow.
"Okay" Jesse chuckled getting up.
"Beca" Jesse called, poking Beca's shoulder "Breakfast is ready"
"Go away." She groaned
"I made waffles, scrambled eggs, pancakes and bacon. C'mon, get up. There's enough food to feed a baby dinosaur. C'mon" he said massaging his sore throat.
"Fine" Beca said, sitting up. He smiled at her.
"How can you do that with your face, in the morning?" She asked as she made her way to the bathroom.
"Do what?" he asked leaning against the doorway
"Smile in the morning" she said before splashing water to her face.
"I don't know" he shrugged "I woke up to a beautiful girl wrapped in my arms, why shouldn't I be smiling?" Beca let out a sarcastic laugh
"Does this line even work?" she asked pulling her hair in a bun. Glancing at her neck she saw a hickey. Sweet.
"That was supposed to be a compliment to you." He said as he let walk pass him
"How?" Beca asked making her way to the kitchen
"You make me happy, you make me smile, that's the compliment" He said following her
"Couldn't you just said it? Why the cheesiness?"
"I'm cheesy" He said using air quotation
Beca took a seat, placing pancakes in the empty plate she found placed for her. Jesse joined her after pouring coffee for them.
"Thanks" Beca said chewing as she accepted the coffee.
Jesse gave her a nod and sat down facing her. Glancing at her neck he noticed the hickey.
"Did I give you that?" He asked pointing to her neck
Subconsciously touching it, Beca nodded as she drank her coffee.
"You don't remember do you?" Beca asked between sips
"I vaguely recall last night" he said biting into his waffle
"How much do you remember?"
"Um, I remember most of it except for when we get here. It sorta goes blank shortly after that"
"It goes blank 'cause you fell asleep" Beca said as she reached for the scrambled egg. Looking up to meet his gaze, she found him staring. "You literarily dosed off on top of me" she said filling her mouth so that she'd have an excuse for going quiet. Avoiding awkwardness like a boss
"I'm so sorry" Jesse apologized, running a hand over his face.
"Don't be." I hated you for like five minutes but- "-It's okay, you have a cold and you were tired" she said shrugging. "I should have known better than to drag you with me. It was selfish, and I'm sorry" she added gazing into his eyes.
Grown up Beca is acting like a grown up, dad would be proud.
Jesse stood up and lean over kissing her on the lips, then sat back resuming his breakfast.
"Your voice is really hoarse" Beca remarked "How shitty are you feeling?" she asked as she moved to the waffles
"I felt shittier when I woke up with a hangover. I feel much better now"
Beca leaned over placing her hand on his forehead "No you aren't. Told you. Should have stayed indoors." She said chewing.
"It's official you're the best cook I have even known. Right after Chloe. She knows her shit." She added as she sat back
"About Chloe. What did she mean when she asked you if you couldn't wait one more day?" Jesse asked sipping his coffee. It felt amazing to his throat.
"Why are you asking?" she asked back, sucking her teeth. Jesse shrugged as he watched her avoid his gaze.
Feeling his eyes on her she sighed "They have a bet going on. Chloe said It would take 3 days for something to happen."
"They?" Jesse interrupted
"Stacie, Amy and Chloe" she said rolling her eyes.
"What's the bet?"
"I'm not going to tell you" she said as she got up mug in hand.
"Fine." He said
"Don't even think about asking one of them." She warned pouring coffee.
"Oh, c'mon" Jesse whined "Curiously is killing me"
Sitting back, Beca held back a laugh keeping her stoic expression on as she watched him give her puppy dog eyes. "You look like a lost puppy" she said as she went back to eating
"That's what I'm aiming for" he said pouting
Beca broke into a smile. "You should figure out another way to get me to agree to stuff," she said pushing away the empty plate of waffles.
"I would have considered singing to you but my throat is killing me. I know my voice does it for you" he said giving her an over exaggerated wink. True.
"You gonna finish that?" Beca asked pointing to the barely eaten waffles in front of Jesse. He shook his head pushing the plate her way.
"God, you eat a lot" Jesse said watching her inhale the waffle. At his words, Beca knocked in wood
"I mean you weight nothing. Where is all the food going?"
"Good genes" she said shrugging "Hey do you happen to have any juice?" Beca asked
"There are juice pouches in the fridge."
"How old are you?"
"Older than you" Beca shook her head
"if I remember correctly you were born in October?" Jesse nodded
"I'm older than you. I'm turning 30 next May."
"Date an older chick." He said making a checking motion "Checked off my bucket list."
"We're like five months apart" Beca deadpanned
"You were babbling words when I was born. And starting to roll over, getting ready for crawling and scooting"
"You know an awful lot of shit about babies." Beca said narrowing her eyes. "Do you have a kid, Swanson?" Beca asked sinking in her seat
"What? No. Don't you think I would have brought that up? My sister's got one."
Jesse got up and paced to the kitchen counter grabbing the IPad. Sitting down, he handed her the IPad.
"He's cute." Beca said, smiling as she look at the picture in front of her.
Looking up she found him staring at her "Do you and your sister look alike? 'Cause the baby's got your eyes." Jesse didn't reply, "Nerd?" Beca said snapping her fingers.
"mhmm?" he said snapping back to reality
"I asked if you and your sister look alike"
"Yeah." He answered curtly
"Okay, what's up?" Beca asked putting the IPad on the table
"Nothing" he said as he stood up, grabbing the plates and walked to the sink. Beca inhaled the bacon then took what he left on the table and followed him
"I'm washing" Beca said bumping hips with him to get him away from the sink
"It's okay, I got it" he said.
Beca watched him as he washed the plates humming to himself and felt ignored. Instead of insisting on knowing what was bugging him she went to his room to change from his clothes.
Taking off the T-shirt, Beca heard knocking on the door "It's opened" she said as she knelt down looking for her T-shirt. "Wow" Jesse gaped when he saw her.
Getting up with her T-shirt in hand Beca said "You're drooling, weirdo"
"Sorry" He said making his way to the bathroom
"You're acting really weird." Beca said as she got her T-shirt on.
"I'm gonna ask you again. What's up?" She asked leaning against the The bathroom doorway. Watching him get the shaving cream from a shelf
Sighing he put it down and tilted his head to look at her. "Spit it out" she said nodded his way
Looking away from her gaze he said "I want you" Beca arched an eyebrow
"Okay." She said not getting why that was making him uncomfortable
"The fact that I fell asleep on top of you kinda ruined it" He said look at her
"No it didn't" she said shrugging as she made her way to him
"What turned you on?" she asked in a low voice pulling him down to her.
Feeling a lump in his throat, he said "The way you smiled at my nephew's picture"
"Gross" she said before closing the distance between them.
Walking backwards to his bed, Jesse grabbed her ass and placed his free hand on her back under her T-shirt. Hitting the bed, Beca broke away and looked at him and before she could anything, he took off his T-shirt then hers throwing them on the floor.
Feeling his abs, Beca tilted her head for him giving him better access to her neck as she laid down. "Don't give me another hickey" she managed to say undoing her bra. He nodded making his way back to her lips after placing butterfly kisses on her neck all the while he reached for the nightstand pulling the drawers and looking inside it for a condom.
Beca broke away when she heard the front door open
"Benji, he must have gotten back from his morning run" Jesse said gasping "Do you wanna-" "No fucking way" she cut him off
"Close the door, I'll try to keep it quiet" Jesse jumped off of her closing the door and came back. "Now, where were we" he smirked
"Here" she said grabbing him to her and kissing him passionately
"Condom?" she asked between kisses
"got it" he answered grabbing it from the drawer
Beca moaned loudly as he slid inside her. "What happened to keep it quiet?" he said before kissing her.
Panting Jesse held Beca close to him placing a kiss on her temple.
"Stacie wasn't kidding" Beca elbowed him.
Listening to the music that was blasting through the stereo, Jesse nodded along humming. "Your friend hates me. The music is so loud" Beca said getting up
"Where are you going?" Jesse asked siting up
"Home. I feel gross. And I'm planning on avoiding Benji so get up you're distracting him while I sneak off" Beca said picking up her clothes from the floor
"I feel like a whore" Jesse said reaching for her
"Shit. I left my bag in the kitchen. I'll leave the money there" Beca said as she slipped her jeans on.
"Why are you avoiding Benj?"
"Can't you hear the music? It's so fucking loud. Which means I was fucking loud, as always. Trust me everything works well when you avoid stuff"
"There are so many wrong things about your logic, but now is not the time to discuss them. I wanna hold you in my arms and cuddle, you're killing the mood." He said pouting
"Aren't you supposed to be sleepy?"
"I am. C'mon, I know you love sleep as much as you love food. And will love a nerd equally" He said tapping on the bed.
"Get up and distract Benji while I sneak off." Beca ordered as she sat down on the edge of the bed getting her boots on.
Jesse got up, wore his boxers then dragged Beca from behind
"You're not going anywhere"
"C'mon, Jesse." Beca whined
"Nope, I like having you around" he said kissing her cheek
"I really have to go home. I need to shower and I have some work shit I need to do. I've been blowing off my boss for a while."
"When will I see you again?"
"sometime next week, okay?" she said tilting her head to kiss his pouting lip
"Fine" He said yawning as he let go off her.
After going to bathroom to calm her hair, Beca came back to find Jesse curled up. "Hey!" she shouted "Get your ass up." She said hitting him with a pillow "I am not going to awkwardly greet Benji. Now get up" Beca added poking him
"I'm up, I'm up. Stop shouting" Jesse groaned "And I thought I was persistent" He added wearing his sweatpants on.
"After you" Jesse said rubbing his eyes.
"No you're leading the way and I'll sneak off when you make sure he's not looking the front door's way"
"Okay" Jesse nodded opening the door
"Wait" Jesse looked at her "Could you get me my bag?"
"are you asking me or telling me"
"Stop acting like a douche and get my bag"
"Sorry, I just want to sleep" he said, leaning over to kiss her.
"Moring Benj" Jesse said with a lazy smile on his face.
"Good morning" Benji greeted drinking his coffee
Jesse walked up to Benji who was siting on a stool by the kitchen counter
"Where's Beca?" asked Benji.
"Channeling her inner Bond." Jesse deadpanned as he grabbed Benji's mug sipping from it.
Spotting her bag Jesse grabbed it and went back to his room
"Here you go." He said handing it to her "You're welcome" Jesse added when she accepted the bag and started looking inside it without acknowledging him.
Getting back to the kitchen Jesse said "How was the run?", blocking his vue from the front door.
"Fun. How's your cold?"
"Better"
"Oh hey, Beca" Benji greeted waving to Beca.
Shit "Hey Benji" Beca waved back pulling her phone to her ear she mouthed 'work' to him and paced to the door.
Jesse ran after her before she got out, blocking the door
"Now what?"
"you made me feel like a whore, abused and used me" he said pouting
"What do you want Jesse?" Beca asked looking through her phone
"Another date"
"Okay" she answered suspiciously, as she looked up
"A movie date" he said grinning
"Fine" she said
"Really?" he asked excited
"Yeah, you're not going to shut up until I agree. So yeah I'm cool with movie dates. As long as they are not chessy romantic comedies"
Jesse lifted her up spinning her around "Can't promise you anything" Jesse said before he put her down
