Chapter 2

A/N: Thank you for the people that did request more, here it is. I'm hoping my chapters will get longer as time goes on.

It turns out that because Beca was new, she wasn't doing anything today. The highlight of her day was just filling out a couple of reports for people that were higher in the ranks than her. Once she was done though she got to look at Chloe for the rest of the day, which was amazing. Beca watched, taking in every detail. Chloe would furrow her brow a little when she got onto something a little difficult, or when her nose would do this little scrunchy thing whenever she did something wrong, she knew this because she would go and ram the backspace button on her keyboard. Her thoughts were eventually broken though when she watched as a tall blonde woman, who looked slightly intimidating breeze over towards Chloe's desk.

"Hello Beale. Do you have those reports for me?" She asked in an assertive manner but was smiling all the same making her look scarier, they looked like friends. But the blonde clearly had a higher position than Chloe and herself did.

"Aubrey, you don't have to call me that all the time at work." The equally tall redhead told her, smiling as she handed her a file.

"I know, sorry. I'm just stressed, this case I'm working on at the moment is a pain in my ass." She sighed exhaustingly. As she looked around the office she suddenly caught Beca's eye who was obviously staring. Beca quickly averted her eyes, pretending she was doing something important on her computer.

"Who's that?" She heard Aubrey whisper to Chloe.

"Oh, that's Beca. She's new here." Beca heard her whisper back to the blonde.

"And she's already working up here?" She asked like it was some big surprise.

"Well, yeah. She's a former clerk apparently and has a degree in law. Impressive right?" Beca couldn't help but blush and quickly glance over at them, she saw Aubrey nod like she was impressed.

"She's so young though." Aubrey got up out of her chair and walked over to where Beca was sitting, instantly grabbing her attention with her sharp suit and expressions.

"I'm Aubrey Posen, lead ADA in this department." This woman was clearly all business when she talked even when she was meant to be casual. Aubrey extended her hand in greeting which Beca took with a smile.

"I'm Baca Mitchell... And I don't really have a status." She replied awkwardly.

"No matter." Aubrey shurgged it off. "I've heard some great things about you from Chloe over there."

Beca looked over to see Chloe ducking behind her screen with a blush on her face. At least someone was talking her up, to be honest she thought she would be doing way more work than being a desk jockey.

"Oh, well... Thanks I guess." Beca smiled lightly, looking back up at the blonde who had looked back over at Chloe before whispering to the small brunette.

"I think she likes you." Clearly Aubrey hadn't said that quietly enough because Chloe's head instantly shot up from behind her screen.

"Be gone now Aubrey... Don't you have something to do? Cases to be won?" She asked as her cheeks shone the same colour as her hair making Beca chuckle.

Aubrey laughed but looked down at her watch before nodding in agreement.

"Indeed I do Chloe. I will leave you to it." The blonde went to turn to walk away but caught Beca's eye again instead. "It was nice meeting you Beca." She then strutted out of the room with dominance and grace.

Beca looked back over at Chloe who was still blushing.

"Don't mind her, she looks all tough but she's actually a really nice person." Chloe said reassuringly, delivering the brunette a warm smile.

"Yeah, she seems nice." Beca replied in agreement before looking back down at her computer screen once more, seeing nothing there she sighed. She knew if she kept looking at the gorgeous redhead in front of her that she might just explode.

For the next hour, Beca just sat there and played with some elastic bands that she had found in her draw and some paper clips. After another hour she had managed to make an elastic ball before accidentally twanging herself on her finger with it, she dropped the ball so she could soothe her sore finger. She had no idea that over the past couple of hours she was being watched by none other than Chloe Beale who couldn't stop silently giggling at the small brunettes antics.

"Hey." She nodded over towards Beca to grab her attention who proceeded to snap her eyes up at her as her finger was still in her mouth. "You're clearly bored." She got up and grabbed her coat, making her way over to Beca's desk. "Come on, get up, I'm taking you for lunch." Beca was sort of surprised by the redhead, they hadn't exactly talked to each other much, although it was only Beca's first day, but she wasn't going to say no to Chloe, she would be insane if she did.

"O-okay sure." She got up and grabbed her purse and came around to stand with Chloe who then proceeded to walk towards the elevator to which Beca folowed. Once they were in the elevator it was silent between the two for a little before Chloe began to break the through the ever cracking ice.

"So... What made you come to work here?" She asked, looking at Beca with those icy blue eyes that made you want to fall into them.

"Oh, well, after I got my law degree I thought I might as well put it into good use." She shrugged, not really knowing what else to say. "How about you? Looking at you I would never see you working here." She blurted out, she was clearly showing that she had a major crush. But she was surprised when Chloe just laughed it off.

"Well, looks can be deceiving." She said with a wink at Beca. Which was probably meant to mean nothing but it made Beca's knees go weak. Why was she feeling like this? She had had an inkling that she liked girls, she had kissed a girl once as a drunken teenager but Chloe was different, she made her feel... Well she didn't know how she felt really.

"Well I'm sure you are great at what you do anyway, you've been at that computer all day." Beca broke herself out of her own thoughts by complimenting the redhead next to her.

"Yeah well the job is strenuous I'll say that much." Chloe laughed with some exhaustion.

Beca offered her a genuine smile of sympathy just before the doors opened and they stepped out of the elevator.

"Right, where shall we go?" Chloe asked her as they walked out of the tall grey building.

"I don't know, I don't really hang around here very often. You pick." Beca suggested. She watched Chloe bite her lip in thought making Beca's jaw go slack. She quickly closed it again though when Chloe trained those beautiful blue eyes back onto her once more.

"I know the perfect place." She exclaimed, making her eyes shine even brighter which Beca thought was impossible. But in a second she was off and Beca was trailing beside her again.

"So where are we going?" She asked as she straightened out her skirt, maybe this outfit wasn't such a great idea seeing as it felt like a million degrees out, but that could just be the fact that she was standing next to a stunning redhead with legs that never ended.

"There's this amazing burrito place just round the corner from here, I've only been there like once. Do you like that sort of stuff?" The redhead explained just as they turned the corner and started walking down that street.

"Yeah, I live off burrito's that sounds great..." Beca trailed off as they walked past a playground where mothers and fathers were playing with there children. She suddenly felt a little hollow inside, Chloe noticed.

"Hey, are you okay?" She stopped and placed a hand on Beca's shoulder making the tiny brunette jump out of her trance.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine." She lied as she faked a smile.

Chloe trained her eyes to what Beca was looking at, there were children in a park playing and laughing. She wondered what was going on in Beca's head, she looked like she had seen something that was making her want to be sick. She wasn't sure what to do so she just wrapped her arm around the brunettes shoulders and lead her away. Beca couldn't really feel the contact Chloe was giving her though, she really wished she could but she just felt numb all over. Before she knew it though they were inside and sat down at a table, she didn't even really know where they were... Oh yeah, the burrito place.

"You going to tell me what that was back there?" Chloe asked with a worried and concerned look on her face.

"Nothing, nothing happened... I just have a headache that's all." Beca lied once more. She wasn't going to tell someone she had just met that seven months ago she had miscarried her baby and that the love of her life had abandoned her when she needed him the most.

"Okay." Chloe accepted her response even though she knew that it was a complete lie. But she wasn't going to ask someone who had just met her to spill all her secrets. "So what are you going to get?" She asked as she too read over the menu.

"Oh umm.." Beca quickly scanned her eyes over the menu and pointed to one, not really looking at what it was.

"Cool, I was thinking of getting that one too, but I'm just going to get my usual." She gave Beca a humorous smile which Beca surprisingly returned. "I'll go up and order."

"Thanks." She smiled convincingly watching as Chloe went up to the counter and ordered. This woman was driving her crazy, she was so kind and lovely and was very grateful for a distraction right now, anything to take her mind of the events from just a moment ago. Before she knew it, Chloe was back at the table, smiling that diamond smile of hers.

"So how much do I owe you?" Beca asked, grabbing her purse. Chloe grabbed her hand though to stop her. "Nothing, I'm paying."

"Oh, you don't have to do that." Chloe's hand on hers was so warm and pleasant she was well and truly distracted now.

"I know I don't, but I want to... Really, I insist put you purse away." Chloe waited until Beca finally put down her purse, giving her a warm smile in return.

"You're really nice, thank you. I'm glad I have met someone already." She said, trying not to use the word 'friend' as much as possible. She wanted them to be more than friends at some point, Beca knew she was ready to move on, but she had no idea if Chloe liked her like that anyway. Aubrey said she liked her, Beca knew that was a joke, but she still insinuated that Chloe liked girls... Maybe it was a possibility?
