Chapter Six
On Monday, Beca may or may not has been looking for nicer clothes in her drawer, but after 30 minutes she gave up and called Stacie. The tall brunette walked in with a large, knowing smile. "How can I help you, my lovestruck teenager?", she asked with that damn smirk.
Beca rolled her eyes at the behavior from her best friend. "Just help me looking through this stuff. I have a meeting today and need to look nice."
Stacie quirked an eyebrow. "Oh, is that so? Who is it? Collin Garson from the last time? Or a new artist? Or maybe a certain redhead with these bright blue eyes?"
Beca swirled around with wide eyes. "What? Of course not!"
"Yeah, sure", her friend answered nodding and pushed Beca aside so she could have a better look at her clothes. She finally found a casual looking blouse and tight ripped jeans. Stacie handed Beca the clothes and was about to walk out of the door before Beca stopped her.
"Ripped jeans, are you sure?"
"You have a great ass in these and Chloe will love it", the tall brunette responded nonchalantly, leaving a flustered Beca alone in her room.
Beca and Stacie drove together to work since Aubrey took Stacie's car last night so she hadn't to call a cab. Stacie had the odd habit not to trust cab drivers. She once explained that she always has the feeling that they want to kidnap her and then sell her guts or something. Aubrey had to laugh at that but took Stacie's keys anyway and drove home, she would drop Stacie off after work or well, take her home to do whatever. The two woman walked through the hallways of the MiCo-STUDIOS and parted ways when Beca had to step into the elevator.
To her surprise, she found Chloe standing in it. When the redhead spotted the DJ she smiled brightly at her. "Hey, Becs."
"Hey Chloe", Beca smiled back. Both of them looked at each other in an uncomfortable silence.
"A-Are we gonna kiss, or hug or just nod at each other?", Beca asked, not really knowing what to do. They didn't really talked about what they were, so she was unsure about what was going to happen next.
Chloe laughed and shook her head, secretly glad Beca started this conversation like that. "I can't kiss the girl before the actual date, can I?" Beca quirked an eyebrow but nodded. The redhead slightly turned to look at the small DJ. "Do you mind if we go out on Tuesday? I know I said Friday, but since the studio is closed on Wednesday?", Chloe asked, actually sounding nervous.
Beca loved this side of the bubbly and always so confident redhead, it was completely adorable. "I would love to Chloe", the brunette smiled and softly kissed Chloe's cheek.
The redhead blushed deeply in return and smiled too. "Okay, how about I'll pick you up at 7:30 pm?"
"Sure, but don't take too long", Beca said and winked, before stepping out of the elevator.
When Beca finally made it into her office after several interruptions and questions why the studio is closed on Wednesday, she let herself slump into her chair and spun around a few times. She actually started to enjoy it, until someone cleared their throat with an amused cough. Beca fastly turned to see who interrupted her, yet again. "Toni", she breathed.
The blonde woman just smirked and walked over to her. "Good Morning Miss Mitchell, I hope you had a great weekend?", she asked politely.
Beca nodded, she heard something else in Toni's voice, something that she didn't like and the smirk on her face didn't fool her. "Toni what's wrong?", she asked.
Toni stopped smirking and bit her lip, fear visible in her young features when her eyes darted around the room. "Mister Swanson was seen in the building this morning", the woman finally brunette's eyes went wide.
Jesse? Here?
"Where is he?", she asked tensely.
The young blonde sighed. "Second floor. Miss Conrad sent up to tell you that she tries to handle the situation. She doesn't have a clue how he came even that far, he has to be on the red list... But she isn't sure if he actually listens to her or if he just storms up here. She wanted me to kinda warn you."
Beca's heart hammered in her chest. She was actually a bit scared. When they broke up Beca didn't tell the receptionist to write Jesse's name down. Honestly, she didn't have a clue what was going to happen. "Could you maybe get Chloe?", she asked in a small voice.
Toni looked at her confused. "Miss Beale? Why do you need her?"
"Please just get her Miss Castellano."
The brunette never called her by her last name so she knew that Beca felt really uncomfortable. "Of course Miss Mitchell", she answered and left the room to get the redhead.
A few minutes later Chloe walked through the doors with a frown on her face. "Beca, what's wrong?"
"I-I", she wasn't really sure how to start this, or if Chloe would understand her, "My boyfriend.. uh, I mean my ex-boyfriend! Ugh, Jesse is here and I don't really know why, but I would feel a lot better when you're here...I don't know why I never put him on the red list, but I can't change it and now he's here."
The redhead just smiled softly at her before walking over and sitting down at the brunette's lap. "Don't worry about it Beca. Maybe he just wants to talk... When he's up here I'll be right by your side, you don't have to worry about anything. I got you."
Instantly Beca felt herself relax. How could someone say simple words like that and have such a big affect on her? Jesse could never do this to her. For a moment, they just looked at each other, searching for any doubts, but neither of them found one. They parted, tough when they heard shouting. Apparently Stacie and Jesse, because just when Chloe sat down on the windowsill the door burst open, revealing a fuming Jesse and Stacie right behind him.
"Get out of here!", she hissed, grabbing his arm.
He turned to her and shot her a death glare. "Don't you dare to touch me!", he growled.
"Okay, that's enough", Stacie said, throwing her hands up, "I'm getting the security."
"It's okay Stacie, I can handle him", Beca smiled at her and for a moment she saw the same expression Stacie always wore when Beca thought of going back to him, so she shook her head, still smiling. Jesse smiled too, satisfied. Stacie nodded and wanted to leave the office. When she spotted Chloe she sent her a look and Chloe knew immediately what it meant: Take care of her. The Stacie left. Apparently Jesse didn't notice the redhead.
"Beca I'm here to talk everything out", he said, slightly frowning.
Beca still smiled. "I already guessed something like this Jesse, but no, no thanks."
The guy actually looked a bit surprised. Beca never said no, well only when Stacie or Aubrey were around. They kept them from each other. "W-What? But Becs... You know we belong to each other", he wore now a shit eating smile, knowing that he could get her like this.
Sighing Beca rolled her eyes. "Jesse I said no. There's nothing to talk about and I was actually doing pretty good without you. So if you would please go now, I would be really happy."
His expression changed drastically. From the boyish grin into completely anger. "You know that you will never find someone like me! Who would want to put up with you?!", he started shouting and Beca looked down at her lap. She didn't want to show it, but every time he said something like this, it hurt.
It hurt like a motherfucker.
Chloe saw that. She saw how his expression changed. She saw how Beca's confident flooded away and she saw how her shoulder slumped. It broke her heart to see her tiny brunette like this. "Don't worry about that, I think she already found someone", Chloe said in a voice, laced with coldness.
Now Jesse's head shot over to the redhead. Again, he was surprised. He didn't notice her, but quickly he recovered from his shock and the anger turned back. "Whoever thinks that he can put up with her doesn't know her enough."
Ouch. That hurt again.
But Chloe didn't back down. "I think, I know her enough to say that I would love to put up with her. Just because you were too stupid to see how great she is, doesn't that mean that others are like you too."
Jesse's eyes went back to Beca, who had a small smile on her face. "What? You're with her? You know that you have to be with me!", he yelled at her.
"Why? Doesn't she like you anymore?", Beca spat at him.
In one second, he walked over, in the other he grabbed her arm violently. Beca hissed at the pain. Suddenly Chloe's arm grabbed Jesse's, just as tightly as he grabbed Beca. "I suggest that you're leaving now and never come or else you'll be in serious trouble", she growled.
He hesitantly let go of Beca's arm, just at the moment a huge security guy walked into the office. He grabbed Jesse's shoulders and pushed him out of the office. Without another word from him, or Jesse, the door closed. Leaving a heavy breathing Beca and a furious Chloe behind.
"Are you okay?", Chloe asked once she calmed down.
"Yes, thanks to you", Beca smiled and went over to hug the redhead.
Stacie stormed into the office, just as worried as Chloe. "Oh god Becs are you okay?", she asked before rushing over and hugging her best friend. Beca nodded.
"Yeah, Chloe was great." The tall brunette's eyes wandered over to a shyly smiling redhead. 'Thanks', she mouthed and smiled thankfully.
Chloe nodded. "I'll better get going, I guess Aubrey will be excited that we have some work to do. I'll see you tomorrow Becs", the redhead smiled.
"Chloe you don't have to do anything."
"Maybe not, but I won't let this asshole get away with this", Chloe simply said before leaving.
"What is tomorrow?", Stacie asked once she let go of her tiny friend.
Beca started to grin like a little kid in a candy shop. "She's taking me out."
