Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon
A backless dress and some beat up sneaks, She took my arm, "Oh, don't you dare look back. Oh, come on girl! Deep in her eyes,
My discothèque, Juliet teenage dream.
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me.
I knew we were bound to be together,
Bound to be together
I don't know how it happened.
We took the floor and she said,
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,
Shut up and dance with me."
I think I see the future.
I realize this is my last chance.
"Alright listen up, it's time for requests," Beca yelled into her microphone, causing a stream of partiers to start moving toward the table. She was DJ'ing at a small nearby club, trying to earn some extra money to spend during her time at university.
As people started to crowd her table, she caught sight of a tall redheaded girl near the front of the crowd. Her breathtaking blue eyes captured Beca's attention as they pierced her gaze. She was wearing a simple but eye-catching backless red dress with black and silver heels. A few sequins embellished the short bottom hem, which showed off her shapely legs. Beca couldn't deny that she was quite attractive, and something about her pulled Beca towards her when she caught her eye.
"I'd like to request Titanium," the redheaded girl shouted into the DJ's ear. She gave Beca a wink and a crooked smile as she disappeared back into the crowd.
Beca smiled and nodded. It was one of her favourite songs. She played it right away, and as the first few lines of the song started she felt herself relax into the groove of the song. She kept scanning the mob of people in front of her table, looking for the mysterious redhead again. She finally found her, and couldn't pull her eyes away. They briefly made eye contact which made Beca blush slightly. What was happening to her?
"Jesse," Beca yelled over to her DJ partner, "I'm taking a break. Take care of the music." She stood up, but then turned back around for a second. "And don't you dare play any movie soundtracks," she added.
The short brunette stepped away from the table and scanned over the crowd. She wouldn't exactly be able to see over all these people once she was jostled between everyone else. Luckily, the mysterious girl had once again moved closer to the DJ booth, almost like she was searching for Beca. Beca felt a twinge of hope at this thought, and made her way toward the girl.
When she finally reached her, the girl shouted at her, "Hey! You're playing my song!"
"Yeah! You have good taste, I love this song too!"
"It's not the original though, is it?" asked the redhead, desperate to remain close to the DJ.
"Nope, it's one of my mixes!" Beca shouted back, struggling to be heard over the loud music.
"It's really good!" the tall girl yelled. "Is this what you do for a living?"
"That's my goal! For now it's only on the side, but I'm trying to move to LA and make it my profession."
"That's awesome! My name's Chloe, by the way."
"Thanks! I'm Beca. If you're interested, you can come over after this and I can show you some of my other stuff," replied Beca, with a small grin and a raised eyebrow that suggested that analyzing Beca's musical works was the last thing they would be doing.
Chloe nodded and smiled as she yelled back "I'd like that!"
They comfortably fell silent as they let the music pour over them and let themselves go with the flow of the crowd all around them. At one point they were pushed flush up against each other and Beca swore she could feel Chloe's heart beat increasing. Even as the crowd separated a bit, they stayed against each other, not wanting to let the other go.
Seeing as the night was practically over, Beca felt no need to go back to DJ'ing. It was Jesse's turn to close up anyways. So rising to her tiptoes, she spoke into Chloe's ear. "Let's get out of here. I'll go get my laptop and stuff, and I'll meet you outside the door."
Chloe was more than happy to oblige, having wanted to be alone with the brunette since she had first seen her. She was glad that Beca had felt that connection between them too. Or maybe she didn't, but whatever it was that she was feeling right now was good enough for Chloe.
Just as Chloe started doubting that Beca would join her, she saw her burst out the door, laptop in tow. A wordless grin as she spotted Chloe waiting for her was all it took for Chloe to lean in, crashing their lips together. Beca pouted as Chloe pulled away a short time later, but was pacified as Chloe mouthed "later" at her.
Not wanting to wait any longer, Chloe took Beca's hand and pulled the shorter girl along behind her. Hailing a cab, they both climbed into the back seat and sat there cuddled together. The driver was kind of killing the mood, so they decided to exchange phone numbers while they waited. Both girls were relieved when they arrived back at Beca's place.
As soon as they were inside the door, Beca pulled Chloe onto the couch and began kissing her with a sense of urgency. She had been waiting all night to be alone with this girl, so she was a little impatient by this point.
Chloe's hands released their grip on Beca's hair and slid down her back to her ass before sliding under her shirt.
Breaking away from the kiss for a second, Beca reached down to the hem of her shirt and pulled it off in one clean motion. She made eye contact with Chloe as she reached for the other girl's shirt, waiting until Chloe nodded before pulling that off too. Still making eye contact, Chloe licked her lips and teasingly raised an eyebrow before pulled Beca closer again and closing the gap between their mouths.
Beca's tongue slid over Chloe's lips, begging for an entrance. She swiped her tongue into the redhead's mouth and across her teeth as their tongues battled for dominance. Beca frowned as Chloe pulled away, but moaned when Chloe pushed her down onto the couch, straddling her hips, and started planting kisses down her neck and across her collarbone. Before she could continue her way down Beca's body, the brunette grabbed the back of Chloe's head before pulling her back to her mouth and giving her a quick kiss.
Chloe was briefly worried that she had done something wrong when Beca stopped her, but quickly forgot her worries as Beca leaned in her ear and whispered, "Let's take this to the bedroom."
