A/N: There may or may not be smut in this - I'm actually not sure what constitutes as smut. Just tell me if you enjoyed it as much as I did. ;)

Beca entered her dormroom and practically fell from the door onto her bed, her face simply burying into her pillow.

"Dammit, dad, damn, damn, damn! Thanks for ruining a perfectly good morning... damn," she groused into it then sighed dramatically. She kicked her shoes from her feet and slipped out of her jacket, throwing it into the general direction of the closet. Maybe she should just take a nap, maybe things would be better if she slept for an hour or two. Maybe she would even dream of Chloe, now there was a thought. But as she tried to get more comfortable, her phone vibrated in her jeans pocket.

It was a text, no, it was a text from Chloe. Beca grinned.

I forgot to ask, will you be at the riff-off tonight?

"Riff off, what the fuck is a?" She mused as she was typing just that. The answer came back cryptically:

Your fellow-acas should know. Just be at the pool at 8.30. It's gonna be aca-awesome.

"Aca-awesome? Seriously, girl?" Beca smiled at the text and once again began typing.

I'll be there. BTW, what r u wearing?

You know what I'm wearing, you saw me dress, rmb?

Am I actually so awkward at this that u can't tell when I'm trying to sext? Beca bit her lip waiting for the answer.

You're wicked, B!

I have u know that I'm horny, C! the brunette answered immediately and she felt that this was actually once again true. Her encounter with her dad might have sobered her but Chloe had the superpower of turning her on with just a few texts, she really was amazing.

Hmmm, I wonder why that is? Couldn't have anything to do with our goodmorning-kiss, right?

Or our goodnight-kiss.

Or the touching that was going on simultaneously? Chloe teased.

What touching was that? I seem to have forgotten about it. Beca gave back and grinned at her phone. She was getting more comfortable on the bed and lay her left hand on her stomach.

Very clever, Mitchell. I seem to recall that I grabbed your ass at some point, cute little ass.

I remember that now. I also remember your eager tongue in my mouth.

Well, u were sucking it in. There was really nothing I could do.

Damn, girl, I wish u were here, so I could do it again.

I wish I was there so that u could do me. Beca moaned at this vivid text, her hand drifting under her shirt finding sensitive skin.

Tell me how you would want it.

I'd want it slow, and hot, and wet. Beca whimpered but before she could reply she got another text from Chloe:

Are u touching urself?

Just my breasts so far.

Damn, Heigl and breasts don't go together well. Maybe you should think about moving your hand lower?

Like where?

Into your pants, you little perv. Beca laughed.

What would my hand be doing there?

Don't tell me ur hand has never been in ur pants before.

It has but it likes to do different things there. The brunette grinned but also did what Chloe had told her to do. She closed her eyes momentarily, enjoying the first touch that went down across her lower belly. Then her phone vibrated again.

Does it like to carress? Does it like to stroke? Beca moaned at the words more than at the action that followed them. Chloe sure knew how to do this.

It does like and it does do.

R U WET?

!

So am I.

"Gawd, woman, you're... mhhhmmmm..." a low gutteral sound build in Beca's throat and was released in a shuttering breath.

Damn, I'm already close. She wrote and wasn't even sure that it reached Chloe this clearly. Her ability to communicate seemed to falter.

Push inside. I want you to fill urself and pretend that it's me doing u.

So good.

Deeper, take me deeper.

I urrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhh coming.

"Hey, guys," Beca plopped down on the grass next to Darnell and fist-bumped him. It was already afternoon but Beca had actually fallen asleep after... right after. But she felt good now, relaxed, freshly showered and changed. And she knew she would see Chloe later and that was another added bonus of the day.

"Hey, Becs. Here, try this, it'll blow your mind," Louis gave her the joint that's been going around and she took a deep drag. She held it until it felt like it would burn the walls of her lungs then she blew it out in rings from her mouth. Louis giggled.

"So cool," he said.

Beca gave the reefer to Darnell who felt complied to show his own skills at blowing smoke rings.

"Hey, what's this I hear about a riff-off? What is that?" She asked her fellow High Notes and Louis snickered. He was so high, he couldn't keep up but he laughed at everything that was being said. Beca wondered what he heard and saw. Then she looked pointedly at Darnell since nobody else seemed willing or able to answer her question.

"It's an a cappella thing," he said and she nodded.

"So I gathered."

"It's about singing songs... with our mouths," he continued and she nodded again to show him that she understood and that he should continue. Only, he didn't, he seemed to have had his say.

"That's it?"

"What more should there be. It's what a cappella is about. We gather, we sing," he answered lazily. "Why do you ask?"

"Because it's tonight," she answered.

"What's tonight?" Nadine asked as she sat down. She actually looked like a student for a minute there with her bag, her eyes clear of any kind of artificial high. She smiled at Beca who smiled back.

"The riff-off," Beca told her.

"Really? We're so going, right, D?" She addressed Darnell who seemed to be the spokesperson or captain of the group and he contemplated the idea.

"Yeah, sure. Let's see how the Bellas and the Trebles are showing off again. I'm sure Bumper will whip those girls into shape," he snickered.

"Unless Aubrey tears him a new one," Nadine said and opened a cigarette case from which she took another joint since the last one had already run its course.

"It's my turn," Beca offered and awkwardly pulled an old-timey pouch out of her pocket. She hadn't prepared anything for this moment and started to pull out her stuff. Nadine giggled.

"It's okay, Beca. I got this one," she told the younger girl and lit up. Beca looked up at her a little disappointed. "Don't worry, you get the hang of it."

"Don't treat me like a child. I've been doing this since I was 16 - I'm just a little out of practice, is all," Beca snapped and shook her head when Nadine wanted to hand her the smoke. Nadine took another pull and leaned over to Beca. She pressed her lips to the brunette's and let the smoke fill Beca's mouth and consequently her lungs as the freshman inhaled.

"Didn't mean to offend you," she said when they parted. Beca nodded thoughtfully.

"It's alright," she answered but Nadine seemed to think there was still some making up to do and her lips returned once again to Beca's, kissing her deeply this time. The brunette let it happen but without much enthusiasm. She thought of Chloe and the fact that the redhead wouldn't mind if she saw her with Nadine like this. Like it shouldn't bother her when she saw Chloe with Marc. Yet it did, and she also minded Nadine pushing her tongue inside her mouth when she only wanted Chloe to do that to her. All this was kind of serious, and weird, and not at all what should be going through her mind right now. But the thoughts stayed with her and so did Nadine's kisses.

They were the first group to enter the pool and Beca was glad she had her jacket on. It had turned cold after the sun had gone down and there seemed to be an extra chill on this side of campus. Or maybe it was just that the whole setting was a little creepy.

"This is where people get murdered in horror movies," she mumbled but nobody paid any attention. Her fellow High Notes seemed quite comfortable in their surroundings and sat down on the dirty green tiles of the pool. Beca kept standing, watching for other people to enter this eery place and it didn't take long for the Trebles to appear. They were a rowdy group, Benji - the newest member - seemed more than a little awkward and he looked around himself like he, too, felt the creepiness of the place. Beca smiled over at him and he nodded at her.

The Harmonics were the next group of acas to arrive. Jesse came over to her and gave her a hug. He felt her chill.

"You cold?"

"No, creeped out by this place. Why would we meet here of all places?" she asked.

"Because the acoustics are excellent. Just like in a shower," he explained.

"You had to say that, right?" Beca mused but he only looked at her questioningly. "Never mind," she told him and tried not to think about when she last sang in the shower - and someone had admired her acoustics. That person and her fellow Bellas had just entered the pool, again fashionably late. But everybody seemed to expect it. Chloe looked over at her and waved her fingers. Beca smiled at her but couldn't help blushing at the wink the redhead gave her.

"You okay there? You seem a little flushed," Jesse commented and she threw him an exasperated look. "What did I do?" he asked.

"Nothing, just... I think this thing's going to happen, you should go back to your Harmonies," she told him and gave him a push.

"Harmonics," Jesse corrected her but went over to the group he belonged to. Justin arrived and asked for a beat, everybody gathered more closely, excited.

Beca felt chills going down her spine, the acoustics were really quite good and she couldn't wait to hear everbody sing. She didn't need to wait long. Justin had some kind of remote in his hand and threw an image at one of the walls, it was... like a wheel of fortune, it turned and than it showed 'Ladies of the 80s.' There seemed to be some commotion, Beca felt completely overwhelmed, her eyes darting from the High Notes to the Bellas where Aubrey shrieked excitedly to the Trebles who seemed to run into formation at the middle of the pool, blocking Aubrey and then they sang:

"Oh, Mickey, you're so find, you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey, Mickey, hey, hey. Hey, Mickey. Oh, Mickey, you're..." where they were interrupted by one of the Harmonic's girls:
"You're so find and you're mine..." starting with Madonna's Like a Virgin. And suddenly Beca knew how this all worked and how amazing all this was when Aubrey kicked in with:

"Like the one in me, that's okay, let's see how you do it. Put up your dukes, let's get down to it -" Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benetar sung in those lovely Bellas' voices. Beca could hardly contain he excitement about this. It was... and then she saw Lisa from her own group get up and she mentally prepared herself to fall into a song, any song. Only, Lisa wasn't quite ready for this.

"Away...," she sang. And then: "It must have been love but it's over now... it's over right now," and her fellow High Notes laughed. Were they all too stoned to do this? Beca wondered. What about herself, was she too stoned? But she wanted to participate, she wanted to... sing.

Beca looked over at Chloe who talked to Amy, they were so animated, so excited about this. And once again, Beca felt the disappointment of the fact that she hadn't made it into this group of women. She looked at her own fellow acas and her eyes met Darnell's. There seemed to lie a challenge there, he grinned. She gave the look back defiantly but also grinned.

Justin reengaged his device of genre-seeking and came up with.

"Songs about sex," and it was amazing how fast the first voice broke the expectant silence of the pool. It was a Bella, Beca still didn't know her name but she had a magnificent voice and she started with Rihanna's S&M. The curvy brunette joined in and they were dancing seductively at the Trebles. Those answered with Let's Talk About Sex, back to the Bellas. Beca couldn't even comprehend how fast this was going when Jesse jumped in from the Harmonics side. And it looked like they would win this whole thing when Beca had a stroke of inspiration and she ran forwards and:

"It's going down, fade to Blackstreet the homies got RB, collab' creations, bump like acne no doubt..." Beca started No Diggity waving Jesse from his spot in the middle of the pool. He succumbed but there were no other voices but hers, she was alone in this. She turned to the High Notes while finishing Dre's rap but her friends just stared at her. But she wasn't going to give this up, the ball was hers and she was gonna run with it. She looked over at Chloe and the redhead smiled at her, nodding encouragingly and when Beca started the verse, she heard another voice joining hers, a deep voice, a smooth voice. It was Darnell and he now stood:

"Shorty, get down, good Lord; Baby got 'em open all over town," they sang together and it sounded amazing. Beca felt a laugh bubble up inside her but she kept on singing and the other High Notes joined in after Darnell. And they sounded good - to everyone's amazement they sounded fantastic. The Harmonics joined the High Notes with background vocals, the Bellas belted, only the Trebles just stood and watched as the whole pool around them erupted into this song until Beca ended it with:

"We out!" She tried to keep her cool but she just couldn't, she jumped at Darnell who hugged her.

"That was amazing," she laughed.

"You were great," he told her. They parted when Justin's loud voice was heard through the elated ruckus.

"Alright, it's a tough call, everyone. But the word that you had to match was 'It' and you sang 'It's'," he told Beca. There were some protesting voices and Beca could actually hear Aubrey shout:

"I never heard of that rule." But there was no arguing, Justin gave the microphone that was the price of this competition to Jesse and the Harmonics. The Trebles booh-ed but Jesse and his group danced in victory. Beca was happy for her friend though her competitive nature was eager to challenge Jesse to another round of this. But obviously, it wasn't going to be tonight because there was music coming from a surround system now and people started dancing and talking and drinking, too.

And there were two arms sneakng around her waiste from behind.

"You were incredible," she heard Chloe's voice at her ear as the redhead pressed into her from behind. Beca laughed. Then she turned in Chloe's embrace and the two women kissed, deeply.

"Mhhhhmmmm," Chloe made when they parted. She interlinked their fingers and started dancing with the freshman. And this time there was no timelimit attached to their movements, no guy in a gray sweater to divert Chloe's attention from Beca, just the two of them moving against each other in perfect rhythm.
