She had been getting out of a cab when he pulled up. He knew she was the dark artsy type right away with her giant headphones around her neck. She was a beautiful girl who didn't want to be called beautiful and maybe didn't even know she was. He serenaded her with his air guitar and when the car jerked forward to pull away he felt his breath catch. "Wow." College was going to be amazing.
He was pretty surprised to see her turning up in all these unexpected moments of his first month of college life. Some of it made sense the more he thought about it. She obviously had an interest in music so the radio station was probably a natural choice but he hadn't expected her to be at the acapella auditions. He watched her with interest as she tapped and manipulated the cup to create a beat; all the while a soulful melody escaping her lips. The audience was silent when her song came to an end, no doubt they were in shock. He had never heard a voice like hers before. "Wow."
The Riff off was spontaneous and fun. He had seen an opening as soon as Staci got into the rhythm of her song and took it. He serenaded the crap out of her, but she didn't seem particularly phased by his advances. She was, however, clearly entertained by them. And then suddenly she was there in front of him, spitting rhymes and giving him eargasms with her mellow accent. It was so unexpected. It was so hot. He let out a breathy "Wow." This girl never ceased to amaze him.
He had listened to her messages, but he just couldn't go there again with her. He couldn't restart a friendship knowing she was just going to push him away again. She had to know he was done being her doormat. So it surprised him when she was at his door, apologizing for her behavior. "Wow seriously? You think I am mad at you because you yelled at me?" She really didn't get it. He got up on his soap box and told her exactly what her problem was; what their problem was. She honestly didn't know, and he felt sad for her. But she had bigger things to figure out and he couldn't keep throwing himself in front of her bus waiting for her to sort them out.
They sounded phenomenal. He could already tell she had something to do with the Bella's new look and he could recognized her underlying beats in the song they performed. Then he heard it. Simple Minds "Don't you." He looked up and she was strutting down a runway made by the Bellas. She was putting their relationship right out there on the Lincoln Center stage. He turned wanting to share the thought with someone but realized no one knew because it was only something he shared with her. "Wow" he muttered, realizing she was singing that song just for him.
She was perfect in every way. Those cherry lips, her eyes and the sweet sound of her voice. "Wow" he whispered in a feather quiet voice as he touched his lips to her forehead. "I don't think I'll ever love anyone more than you."
"Hey!" He gazed up at Beca in her hospital gown with an amused smirk on her face. She glowed with motherhood.
"Ok, maybe it's a tie." Beca gave him smile in agreement as he leaned down to kiss her before turning his attention back to their daughter. She absolutely took his breath away.
The End
