Chapter one:
Life after college wasn't how everyone expected it to be. You would think after working for a degree for years, staying up almost every single night to do work, and working your ass off until you breakdown would somehow prepare you for the "real world". Too bad that's not what the real world was like. Beca always wanted to be a producer. She felt like it was in her blood. Ever since she was a teenager and received a (beginner) mixing board, she felt the passion unlike no other. The board was a gift from her mother, Millie. Turns out, working toward a job in producing was a lot of money. Like a lot. After many talks between her father and her mother, they all came to the conclusion that going to college, for free, wouldn't be such a bad idea. Ben had the money, but was more reluctant to let go off it so quickly. Especially after having very little contact with his daughter over the years. Realizing this was her only shot at success, Beca agreed to attend. After graduation, she finally moved to L.A. Not however, without her best friend Stacie.
It wasn't very hard to tell. Beca and Stacie were pretty much nothing alike. But they made it work. They had been there for each other through everything. Stacie had attended Barden University to get a job in engineering. She was not just a pretty face. She was crazy smart. Things seemed to just click for her. Beca had been very jealous of this trait. Despite the two girls having a degree in their fields and a huge ambition, neither were able to find jobs. This is what led them to open their own business. Because, as they learned, plans you make during college don't always work out. They opened up their very own wedding entertainment business. Beca was the DJ, while Stacie did bartending. They were considered the "package deal". They called it "S&B celebrations". The business had been running very well, allowing them to afford a decent size, three bedroom apartment. It turns out, weddings will pay a lot of money, which the girls were never one to complain about. Their recent client though, might be one to complain about.
"What's her name again?" Stacie asked with a raise of her eyebrows at the wedding schedule that was emailed over to her to review earlier that day. Beca sat down in front of Stacie at the table and flipped through one of their business binders to a calendar.
"Um, Aubrey. Aubrey Posen. Well, soon to be Astin." Beca answered back.
"Well this Aubrey sure does run a tight schedule. I mean have you seen this thing? I'll be sure to learn some strong drinks for this wedding."
"Oh come on Stace. She just wants everything to run smoothly. This is supposed to be her day to remember." Beca shot back.
"What was that? Beca, the Beca Mitchell, is a softy now?" Stacie said with a sequel. Beca answered back with a simple roll of her eyes. She was not a softy. The girls were hired only a few weeks ago, since Aubrey's original DJ had to cancel. Instead of spending much on a DJ, she decided to just hire S&B celebrations, that way she gains a DJ along with a bartender.
"Well, hopefully we can get a more clear understanding when we talk face to face." Stacie said with a release of air.
"Yeah definitely. When is that again?" Beca asked a little quietly. Even thought they had been running a business for a while, Beca still wasn't the most, would you say, organized? That was definitely Stacie's area of running the business.
"Um, in like half an hour? Please tell me you're joking Becs." Stacie said while narrowing her eyes. She looked the younger girl up and down which revealed her wearing sweatpants, a tank top, no makeup, and her hair in a bun.
"Shit!" Beca gasped while jumping up to get ready. This was definitely not the way she wanted to make a first impression.
After twenty minutes, Beca appeared back into the living room with black skinny jeans, black boots, a white blouse, and a black cardigan. Her makeup however, was simple. Her hair was still pinned up in a bun, with no time to fix it. On anyone else, it might have looked incomplete, but somehow Beca Mitchell could pull it off without even trying.
Stacie however, was in a tight blue dress with her hair curled, and silver heels. When asked about the bold outfit choice, she simply explained that it brought out her eyes.
"So where are we meeting them?" Beca asked.
"Aubrey said the restaurant up the road, Roots."
Beca shifted the car into drive and made the way to the restaurant they were meeting at. Unknown to her, who else would be joining them that very evening. The two girls got out of Stacie's car and fixed their outfits. The younger girl kept moving her hands over her outfit while sighing. Stacie noticed this and grabbed her best friend's hands.
"Becs, you look hot. If anyone could pull off that look, it's you." She reminded the girl. Nodding her head, she glanced one more time at her friend and started making their way to the restaurant doors. The restaurant looked nice from the outside. It had brick surrounding the entrance, with what seemed like dark wood panel surrounding the rest of the place. The sign was in a bright white, reading Roots.
"Hi! Welcome to Roots. Is this just for two?" The young, almost too young, looking waitress greeted.
"Oh uh, thanks? Well actually just be joining another table." Beca answered awkwardly. She didn't do too well with people greeting her ecstatically. Stacie smirked and bit her lip to contain her laughter. After spotting a table with a blonde and binders, she assumed that was who they were meant to be meeting with.
"Hi! You must be Aubrey?" Stacie asked with her hand stretched out.
"Oh! Great. Very nice to meet you both. I have a friend joining us since my fiancé is stuck at work. She will be my maid of honor!" Aubrey said excitedly.
"Wonderful! Well shall we?" Stacie asked with a smile that met her eyes.
"Oh yeah! Sit, sit, please."
The two friends sat in the booth across from the blonde. They all started getting right to business, when suddenly a figure slid into the booth next to the blonde. Beca didn't seem to pay much attention until she heard, "Hi! Sorry I went to the bathroom. What did I miss?"
Beca looked up to meet crystal blue eyes. Seriously, how are they even that blue? She thought.
"Uh, we are just, you know-"Beca stuttered out, and be nudged by Stacie with a smirk. The redhead caught the interaction and threw a wink at Stacie, knowing what must be going on.
"I'm Chloe, I'm assuming you're Beca? You got that whole DJ vibe going on." Chloe asked with a genuine smile.
"Uh, yeah yeah. That's me." Beca answered with a slight blush. God, she's adorable, thought Chloe.
"Okay! So, thank you girls again for agreeing after such short notice. Beca, Chloe had discussed doing a musical arrangement with her speech but insists that it stays a secret until then. I'll need you two to discuss it privately then, could you girls come a little early then?" Aubrey asked with hope.
"Yeah! No problem. I'm sure Beca wouldn't mind the time with Chloe, right Becs?" Stacie asked without even having to look her friend in the eyes to know the effect that statement had on the brunette.
This was going to be fun.
