Chapter 2
Beca was quietly singing "Titanium" while she was showering when she heard the door to the communal showers open. She briefly wondered who would shower so late at night but quickly shrugged the thought of and continued her routine of shampooing and washing.
Chloe came into the shower room and instantly noticed somebody singing. She wandered over to a free stall next to the only other occupied one, so she could continue listening and undressed herself. She was about to start her own shower but stopped to listen a few more seconds to the awesome voice. The ginger knew that interrupting someone's shower was rude but she couldn't help herself. This girl was just so good at singing. She had to get her to audition for the Bellas! Throwing the rest of her nearly non-existent boundaries out of the window, she made her way over to the next shower stall. Not wasting another second to ponder the inappropriateness of her next act, she quickly pulled the shower curtain to the side.
The ginger instantly noticed that the girl in the shower was actually the girl from the activities fair this afternoon. She totally can sing! Chloe thought and was about to confront her, but just in that moment, Beca who was standing sideways to Chloe turned around and gave Chloe a full view of her wet body. She had her eyes closed and her hands in her hair, washing the shampoo out of her long auburn tresses.
Damn... Chloe thought and took a few more seconds to appreciate the sight in front of her. This girl is hot! I totally have to get to know her.
Before Chloe could open her mouth to blurt some of her inappropriate thoughts out for the world to hear, the girl in front of her opened her eyes. The brunette's eyes widened comically, she gave a girly shriek and grabbed the shower curtain back from Chloe to cover her naked body with it.
"Dude!"
"You can sing!" Chloe happily announced while trying to shift the girls attention from her silent staring to another topic. "How high does your belt go?"
"My what? Oh my god!" Beca was mortified. What the hell was the hot red headed girl from the activities fair doing in her shower? Oh my God, she is naked. Like, totally nude. Don't stare... Keep your eyes on her face..."
Beca was working on organizing her jumbled thoughts while trying to cover everything by crossing her arms over her chest and keeping her attention from wandering south. Chloe ignored the uncomfortable look on the brunette's face and continued talking.
"You have to audition for the Bellas. Your voice is awesome. You were singing Titanium right?"
"You know David Guetta?" Beca's interest was peaked. People with a good taste in music were hard to find. Before her one-track mind when it came to music could take her thoughts away, she remembered her current situation. "I mean, I can't concentrate on anything you're saying until you cover your junk."
Completely ignoring the part of the brunette's words she didn't want to hear, Chloe continued her quest to get this girl to audition.
"Have I been living under a rock? Of course I know David Guetta. That song is my jam. My lady-jam." She winked and smiled at the brunette.
"That's nice" Beca's face was already looking like an overly ripe tomato, but Chloe's words pushed her straight into fire engine red territory. She was sure she was going to pass out any moment from embarrassment.
"It is. That song really builds" Another one of those damn winks.
"TMI!" Beca shouted, hoping that a hole in the ground would soon open up to swallow her whole.
"Can you sing it for me?" Chloe's big blue eyes stared at her with such hope, that Beca didn't want to disappoint her, but the whole situation was starting to creep her out a little.
"Dude, no. Get out!" She hoped the ginger would listen and leave her alone but she should have known it wouldn't be that easy. A person who jumped into stranger's showers just to sing with them, completely naked, wouldn't be so easy to get rid off.
"Not for that reason. I'm not leaving here till you sing. So... " Chloe started looking around Beca's shower stall and lightly tapped her food on the ground while sighing, as if she were preparing herself for a long wait.
Beca only gaped at her. Is this girl serious?
After two minutes of silence Beca caved in with a loud sigh. She opened her mouth and started singing a few lines of Titanium. After a few words Chloe started harmonizing with her.
Later, when thinking back to this moment, Beca could honestly say that they sounded very good together, but while it was happening she wasn't paying that much attention to the singing. While half her brain was occupied with singing the rest of Beca's attention started to wander. Before she could stop herself she got a full view of the hot ginger in front of her. Beca ogled the flawless skin in front of her, the legs that were a mile long and some serious abs.
Before Beca could embarrass herself any further by forgetting the lyrics, their impromptu singing session thankfully came to an end. Chloe was smiling wildly at her and Beca quickly locked her eyes onto the ginger's baby-blues.
Chloe of course noticed Beca's staring. "Don't worry. I'm pretty confident about all this. You can look if you want. Also, fair play and all that. I got a good eye full before you noticed me." Another wink.
Beca groaned. This is the most embarrassing situation I have ever been in. It is even worse than the time granny forced me to go shopping for underwear with her and made me parade around in it in front of the whole store because she couldn't be bothered to come into the tiny changing stall with me like a normal person.
When Chloe just continued to stand there with no apparent intention to leave anytime soon, Beca spoke up again.
"Was there anything else you wanted...?" She lifted an eyebrow and waited.
"Oh! Sorry. Here." Chloe grabbed Beca's towel from the hook behind the shower curtain and gave it to her.
"Thanks" She took the towel in her hands and quickly put it around her. When Chloe still didn't leave, Beca tried another approach.
"Didn't you come down here to shower? It's really late and you should really get to it."
"Oh! I almost forgot. Yeah, I should get to it. I'll see you at auditions!" With that and a small wave, Chloe finally left Beca alone to get into her own shower. Beca lingered a moment but when she heard the shower next to hers start, she quickly gathered her things and made her way out of the showers back to her dorm room.
That was so surreal. But also hot. I really want to know Chloe better, even if she is a little bit of a creep. I guess I have to go to this audition now. And dad said something about joining a club. Might as well be an a capella group. Music, a hot red head and an uptight blonde who already seems to hate me, I can already tell this will be interesting.
Chloe was finally enjoying the soothing effects of her shower, while thinking about what happened just a few minutes ago. They sounded really good together.
I hope she comes to auditions! Chloe thought with a bright smile as she started washing her hair.
Her good mood quickly vanished as she noticed something.
Damn it! I forgot to ask for her name! Again! How will I ever find her again if she doesn't come to auditions because I am a freak who invaded her shower and made her sing with me. Naked. Who does things like that? I wanted her to be my first friend here, apart from Bree of course. Good work, Beale, you can be lucky if she doesn't run away from you as soon as she sees you across campus or something.
Chloe groaned loudly and put her hands in front of her eyes.
Well, I just have to hope that I didn't scare her away and she will come to auditions.
The red head quickly finished her shower with a now subdued mood and made her way back to her room. She just wanted to sleep.
Beca finally arrived at her room, closed the door after her and fell face first onto her bed. This day really needs to end. I'll unpack all this stuff tomorrow morning.
She pushed her bags, which were still laying were she threw them this afternoon, down to the ground and quickly pulled the covers back. She slid under them and put out the lights.
I wonder where my roommate is. It's really late. Oh well, I'll just meet her tomorrow.
Beca turned to face the wall and snuggled into her pillow. She was on the verge of falling asleep when the door to her room was pushed open and the light was turned on.
The brunette groaned loudly and pulled the covers over her head.
She heard a whispered "Sorry, I'll be quick." and heard some rustling. Two minutes later her roommate slid into her own bed and turned out the lights again.
"Hey, are you awake?" The girl whispered a few seconds later.
"No" Beca groaned. "Can we please save the introductions until tomorrow? I'm sure it is nice to meet you but I am really tired."
She heard a light giggle and a quiet "Sure. It's nice to meet you. Good night!"
Beca mumbled a "Good night" back to the girl and fell asleep within seconds.
Chloe suppressed another giggle at the thought of her grumpy roommate. She hoped they would get along great.
Yawning widely, Chloe took her phone from where she chucked it before going to the showers and quickly typed a text to two numbers while putting the loading cable in.
Second day was awesome. I spent the morning unpacking and Bree helped me. We were so caught up in catching up that we nearly forgot about the activities fair. We ran out and nearly ran someone over because you know how Bree hates to be late to anything. She didn't even stop to apologize. Anyway we made it about ten minutes late and started handing out flyers. I met some interesting people. Especially a blonde with a weird mermaid dance move who calls herself 'Fat Amy' and some brunette girl who I've run into twice today. Must be fate! I have to make her my friend. And she has an awesome voice! I'll tell you all about it when I call you two tomorrow. I hope you are alright. And mom, don't forget to take your meds! If you skip, Aunt Julia will find out! Have a good night you two. I love you. xoxo C
Tomorrow would be an interesting day, she mused as she put her phone on the small table next to her bed. She couldn't wait to meet her new roommate properly.
Chloe just hoped she would be tired enough so the dreams wouldn't come tonight. She closed her eyes and quickly fell into an uninterrupted sleep for the first time in two weeks.
A/N: Next chapter will be the 'official' meeting of the two roommates. I hope you guys will stay tuned. Thanks for the Reviews, favs and follows so far, I am happy that people are reading my story :)
