A/N: Hello again, everyone. Thanks for everyone who has followed, favorited, and reviewed this story. As of now I'm on Thanksgiving break, but come Monday, I'll be back at school so I probably won't be able to post a chapter or even two a day like I have been. I do promise to try to get in at least two chapters a week. My only reason at the moment for the delay is because I'm in my school's musical as the lead so I have practice every day during the week. I'm currently working on Chapter 4 so hopefully that will be up later tonight. Anyways, enjoy the chapter and please leave reviews about what you think about it. It helps me with ideas and motivates me to write more!
As Beca was setting her equipment she watched Chloe from the deck. She was glad the ginger came to see her, even if it took her five years. Chuckling at the thought, she finished setting up and plugged in her flash drive full of her list of things to mix. Oddly, Beca felt a little nervous tonight. This was going to be the first time Chloe would be hearing her actually being a DJ.
She had enough time to go ahead and get herself a drink and met the taller girl at the bar, "Hey there," Beca smiled.
"Beca!" Chloe hugged her tightly, "I'm so excited to hear you! Too bad I have to be down here instead of up there with you," she gave a small pout.
"Who said you were staying down here all night?" the brunette smiled, producing a lanyard with a VIP card attached.
"No way! Becs, thank you!" Chloe hugged her again, a little longer than last time.
"You don't need to thank me, weirdo," she laughed, "You can get free drinks with it too, well, as long as I tell them you're with me," Beca turned to the man working behind the bar, "Hey Kev!"
He spun around, "Hey, Beca, whatcha need?"
"Hmmm," she thought, "Just a water for now. I'll get something stonger later when my shift is over. Oh, and this is Chloe, she's with me."
Kev smiled at Chloe, "Does that mean I can't flirt with her?" he gave Beca a wink.
Beca burst out laughing as Chloe giggled, "No, Kev, you're not allowed to flirt with her."
He prentended to be hurt and chuckled, "What can I get you, Chloe?"
"Just a beer for now. I'll come back for something better once Becs is up there," Chloe smiled. With that, Kevin went to get their drinks. She looked at the shorter girl, "Why isn't he allowed to flirt with me?" she poked her in the side.
The younger girl's cheeks started to get warm, "Well, one, he's got a girlfriend," she glanced at Kev, "and two, uh, you don't need to start talking to guys again anyways. You just got out of a relationship and if you get in another one, you won't stay with me and I want you to stay," she quickly came up with something. She didn't want the ginger to know she'd had feelings for the her in college and their recent meeting was making those feelings surface.
"You're sweet, Becs. I'm not leaving for a while, if you don't mind," the redhead was staring into Beca's navy blue eyes.
"Of course I don't mind," Beca grinned, staring right back into Chloe's bright blue orbs. Kev brought their drinks, handing them to the girls, "Thanks, Kev," she said, not taking her eyes off Chloe's.
"No problem," Kev winked.
"Let's go, Chlo," Beca smiled, leading Chloe towards the DJ booth.
Chloe followed the shorter girl up to the booth and sat in a chair, "So how often do you do this, DJ?"
"Every other weekend," Beca replied as she was getting ready for her shift, taking a quick gulp of her water, "Why?"
"So I know how often I can get free drinks," the ginger winked.
Beca rolled her eyes, "You never change do you?" she chuckled. A light on the wall began to flash yellow, "Well, that's my cue. Feel free to go down and dance with the rest of these lunatics," she started step towards her gear before she stopped and turned to look back at her friend, "And no flirting, got it?"
Chloe gave the brunette a playful salute, "Yes ma'am," she laughed, "I'm gonna go dance for a while, but I'll come back up, I promise."
"Don't wear yourself out," Beca smirked, knowing the redhead would have enough energy to last the entire night. Chloe walked out and Beca but her headphones on, leaving one ear open so she would know when Chloe came in. When the light on the wall turned green, Beca flipped the switch for her mic, "What's up, LA?" she said enthusastically, earning her a load roar from the growing crowd. There always seemed to be more people coming in during her shift, "Let's start off with something I came up with this morning, huh?" The crowd roared louder, eager to hear the new mashup.
As Beca started the songs, the crowd cheered, remembering the songs from a few years ago. She seemlessly melded the two songs together, and the crowd happily danced beneath her. As the song was coming to an end, she started another mix, and took another drink of her water. The brunette was enjoying the night, knowing Chloe was down there. The ginger came up a few times to tell Beca how amazing she was doing and telling her she was having a good time and after a few minutes she would be back on the dance floor as Beca was preoccupied with the task at hand. After a while, an idea popped in her head. Once the latest song was done, she flipped the mic switch back on, "How's everyone doing tonight?" she called out, receiving another unanimous cheer, "Alright guys, this is an old one, but I'm gonna dedicate it to a friend out there. She decided to finally come visit after five years. Here's the last song of the night from me. This one's for you, weirdo!" the crowd cheered happily as she started to mix David Guetta's "Titanium" and "Bulletproof" by La Roux.
Her eyes raked across the crowd until she found their target, a bright red mess of hair and bright blue eyes looking up at her with the biggest grin possible. Beca returned the grin as she continued to fuse the songs together. Chloe was dancing all over the place, her fiery mane bouncing up and down as she jumped to the beat. Eventually the DJ closed her eyes, smiling at her choice for the last song of her shift. As the song came to a close, she heard another DJ, Matt, speak over the crowd, receiving a roar after his words.
As Beca was shutting her things down, Chloe came into the booth, attacking her with a hug, "Becs, that was amazing!" she said breathlessly. The redhead had been dancing hard, especially to the last song and the amount of alcohol she'd consumed didn't help.
"Thanks, Chlo," the shorter girl smiled, hugging her back. After pulling away, she packed the rest of her things away with the older girl watching her like a hawk, "What?" she asked.
"You're reaaaally pretty, did you know that?" Chloe giggled.
Beca's heart skipped a beat before quickly replying, "And you're really drunk, did you know that?"
Chloe just laughed, "No I'm not."
Beca shook her head, carrying her things down the stairs and towards the employee room. The ginger followed her until she got there and waited outside the door. After putting her things away she looked at Chloe, "Do you want to stay here or go home?" she asked.
"Let's go home. We still have lots of catching up to do. Plus, you can't drink if you want to drive home," she responded, grabbing Beca's wrist, "Let's go. Wait, what about your stuff?"
"I'll just come get it tomorrow after work. That's what I usually do anyways because there aren't people here at 4," the young DJ said, following the girl who had a hold of her wrist. As they got in the car and she turned on the ignition, Chloe grinned at her, "What?" Beca asked as she pulled out of the parking lot.
"That song...Titanium," Chloe started, "That was the first thing I ever heard you sing...and then you joined the Bellas. Do you have it? I want to sing it with you again."
"I have it at home, as long as you don't ambush me in the shower again," Beca said, smiling at the thought.
Chloe winked at her, "No promises. I'm still confident about all this."
"You should be," Beca chuckled and looked at her for a moment before looking back at the road. Maybe her all her dreams might come true after all.
