Beca was so excited for her new job that she had barely slept the night before. Though to be fair, it probably had just as much to do with the naked redhead currently sleeping next to her. Memories of the previous night flashed through her mind as she watched the girl sleep next to her, her chest rising and falling as she slept peacefully.
Beca had simply planned to have a few drinks to celebrate landing her dream job, but her plans had changed when Chloe approached her at the bar. The attraction between them was instant and they shared a couple of drinks to celebrate Beca's success. A couple of drinks soon led to them dancing to David Guetta's Titanium, and then to other dance hits of recent memory. As time flew by Beca realized that she didn't want the night to end so quickly and kissed Chloe outside the bar. Not long after, they ended up back at Beca's apartment and things escalated from there.
Though she would love to spend more time with Chloe, she couldn't be late for her first day. Chloe stirred awake as Beca attempted to climb out of bed. "Don't go," she said, looking adorable as she smiled up at her and wrapped her arms around her waist.
Despite wanting to give in to the temptation, Beca shook her head. "I have to," she said. "It's my first day." All of her years of making mixes on her laptop had finally paid off and she had been offered her dream job at Beale Records. Beca had accepted the offer without hesitation and she was determined to make her dream of producing music come true.
"Can we at least have breakfast?" Chloe asked, pouting.
Beca checked her watch and saw that there was no time. "I can't," she said, shaking her head sadly. "There are some things in the fridge, she said, "Feel free to help yourself." After a moment, she added, "Can you leave your number as well? I'd love to see you again."
Chloe grinned and Beca's heard melted. "Alright," she said, "Good luck on your first day." They shared a brief kiss before Beca hopped in the shower, got dressed, and rushed out the door.
Arriving at the studio, Beca was amazed at the size of the building and had to pinch herself to prove that she wasn't dreaming. She pushed open the door and walked inside. The lobby was exactly as she remembered, the wall behind the receptionist desk emblazoned with the Beale Records emblem. The receptionist greeted her and told her to wait a couple of moments. Not long after Beca settled into the cream armchair, Bryan Beale approached her. Beca stood up immediately at the sight of the founder of Beale Records. "Mr. Beale," she said as she held out a shaking hand. "It's so nice to meet you."
He laughed jovially and shook her hand. "Please call me Bryan. Welcome to Beale Records. We look forward to working with you, Rebecca."
Bryan gave her a tour of the label, introducing her to the heads of various departments. At the end of the tour, he showed her to her desk and introduced her supervisor, a tall attractive man named Luke. As Beca was about to thank Bryan for the tour and the opportunity to work at the label, she was rendered speechless by the sight of Chloe bounding into the office.
She smiled at Bryan, and said, ""Hi, Dad." Beca looked between the two of them, gaping with her mouth hanging open. Chloe noticed her and looked surprised to see her. "Hi. Beca!"
Bryan looked between the two of them. "I see you have already met my daughter." Ignoring the look of surprise on Beca's face, he continued, "Chloe works in the front office with me. I'll leave you two to get acquainted." He left them at Beca's desk and Beca awkwardly waved goodbye as she stared at Chloe.
As soon as he was gone, Chloe dragged her into a nearby broom closet. "Did you know?" Beca asked as Chloe locked the door behind them.
Chloe shook her head, "I didn't. Not until I met you last night."
"Why didn't you say anything?" Beca asked, still trying to process the situation.
"I didn't want things to change," Chloe admitted. "Last night was so amazing and I really like you."
"I like you, too," said Beca. "But what will your Dad think?"
Chloe held out her hand. "Hello, my name is Chloe Beale. I work for my father at Beale Records and I'd really like to date you. If that is possible." Before Beca could respond, Chloe added, "We might have to keep things a secret for a while, but I want to try this. What do you say?" After Beca stayed silent, she added, "What are the odds of meeting you the night before you started working here? It has to be fate, Beca, and we shouldn't fight fate."
Beca weighed her options. She didn't want to do anything to jeopardize her dream job, but Chloe's hopeful smile crumbled her resolve. "Let's do this," she said. Chloe grinned at her and they kissed in the broom closet.
Chloe wiped her lipstick off Beca's lips and they went back into the office. "And that is where you can find any supplies you need," Chloe said loudly as they walked back to Beca's desk. "Good luck with your first day," she said with a wink and Beca sat at her desk.
"Thanks," Beca said, returning her smile, still stunned by the day's events. Chloe walked away and Beca looked at the documents on her desk. She thought of Chloe and wondered if it was possible that she could have it all. She hoped that she didn't ruin her own opportunity before it even began, but she knew that she wanted to be with Chloe. Perhaps Chloe was right, and their meeting was fate. It was a chance that Beca was willing to take.
