Beca was awaken at someone landing on top of her in her bed and taking the air out of her lungs, she kicked and punched at the unknown person until recognizing the voice. "Owww, DJ nice punch you got there" Amy's voice came and she could make out the sound of Jesse's laughter at the escene. Oh my God why the hell did I give them keys to my place?
"Dude! What the hell? You almost gave me a heart attack; also get the hell off me! You're breaking my back." Beca said while pushing Amy off of her and glaring at Jesse that was at the doorframe she added. "What the hell are you laughing at dude?!" Once Amy was lying next to her instead of above she asked." What are you two weirdos doing here at," looking at the hour on her phone "8 o'clock? Really guys? I've barely being asleep for 5 hours!"
"Come on tiny DJ we want details! Where is hot tall and busty? You looked pretty cozy yesterday. Did you do the horizontal tango and send her home or what?" Amy asked.
"Oh my God, you didn't even know if Stacie was here and you just barge into my room? I can't believe you; well actually I can believe this from Amy but really Jesse you too?" Beca said sitting on her bed with her back resting in the headboard.
"Oh come on Becs we took a pick through the door first and since you were alone we came in, also we came bearing gifts" Jesse said looking down at his hands that were holding a container with three to-go cups of coffee." He handed one cup for her that she received with a smile and then handed the one for Amy, finally taking his and sitting at the foot of the bed. "So, now come on spill the beans. How did it go? Where did you to go? Did you kiss her? You didn't fuck her and send her home did you? Please tell me Steca is a go. When are you seeing her again?" Jesse ranted on until Beca interrupted him.
"Woah, dude, slow down. Also I think you just dropped your balls somewhere, you are trying to gossip like a teenage girl. And a ship name? Really?" The DJ said mockingly and high five Amy that was laughing at the comment.
"Rude!" Was all Jesse said with a pout on his face that only made the two girls laugh harder.
"Not that my life is any of your business, but since I know you will only annoy the crap out of me until I tell you, I'll just save myself the trouble. It went ok I guess, we went for a drive and ended up at a nice park, we talked a little about ourselves and that we don't want a serious relationship just out of nowhere but that we will give whatever this is a chance. So no labels, no expectations and not rushing into things, she is or was a player too so the whole relationship thing is weird for her too, we only know that we don't want this to be a one night thing so we will see where this might go. Yeah, we kissed when I left her at her house. So I guess that answers the other question. And today for lunch." Beca explains to her friends.
"Yes, I knew it pay up Amy!" Jesse puts his fist in the air and then waves his hand towards Amy palm up, the aussie takes a twenty from her bra and places it on Jesse's hand.
"Uhh…What did I miss guys?" Beca says as she watch the exchange with a confuse look.
"Damn it DJ, I thought you will score with big breasts last night." The blond says looking a little disappointed at her friend.
"Wait, you guys place a bet on whether or not I'll sleep with Stacie yesterday? What the fuck guys?" Beca asked looking back and forth between the two.
"Oh come on Becawww, don't be mad it was just a little bet. We knew you wanted more with her but the way you two were looking at each other yesterday, well you can't really blame us for thinking you will be getting it on. Also I had more faith in you than Amy did, so you should really just be mad at her." Jesse said with her hands up in surrender.
"Why am I friends with you?" Beca said shaking her head.
"Because you love us!" Amy answered with a bright smile.
"And why is that exactly?" The DJ asked with a smirk.
"Oh, shut up. You love us just admit it Becs." Jesse said while tackling her friend almost spilling the coffee all over the bed. "Get off of me you jerk!" Beca said laughing and pushing him hard enough for him to fell off the bed.
The trio's laughing was interrupted by Beca's phone. She took it from her nightstand and a smile appeared on her face, Stacie texted her. Amy was fast to snatch the phone from Becas hands. "Amy give me my phone back!" Beca yelled and stood up on her bed in order to go after her friend that had gotten up and was walking towards the door. "It's locked you won't even be able to see the message!" Beca yelled while running after the aussie.
Amy just scoff," Please I know all of your passwords and Jesse's too. Awww, she is so sweet! Who would've thought a sexy thing like her could be this cute." Said while running at a speed one never though her capable of.
"Damn it Amy give me my fucking phone back! How are you so fucking fast? You don't like to exercise!" Beca said still trying to catch the blonde that was running around the apartment. Jesse was recording the whole thing laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes and was starting to hyperventilate.
Amy locked the phone and abruptly stopped causing Beca to crash into her and bounce back falling to the floor on her butt, Jesse was laughing hysterically at this point, he dropped his phone and dropped to his knees laughing and fighting for the air to reach his lungs. Amy handed the phone back and made her way to the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
"Get it together lover boy, you'll wet your pants." The aussie said as she walked past Jesse.
Beca unlocked her phone and looked at the message. Amy was right Stacie was really sweet.
Lawyer goddess:- Morning Becs! I hope is not too early, I was just rudely woken up by my sister and wanted to say good morning to you and make sure last night wasn't just a dream. I can't stop thinking about you sexy ;) xoxo-S
Cute badass DJ:- Morning gorgeous! Nope not a dream at all. OMG Jesse and Amy woke me up too. I guess they will get along just fine with Em. They wanted to know all about last night. Can't wait to see you later for lunch. Xoxo –B
Lawyer goddess: - Haha. Em was just the same. About lunch, I think it'll be only fair to plan it myself since last night was all on you. I'll pick you up around 10, sounds good?-S
Cute badass DJ: - 10 sound perfect. Where are you taking me?-B
Lawyer goddess: - It's surprise! I'm sure you'll love it. Gotta go get ready, there is this really hot DJ that I want to impress. ;) text me your address.- S
Cute badass DJ:- Hahaha, so you wanted to pick me up and don't know where I live? 57 West 57th Street Apt 61b. I'm sure that this DJ is already pretty impressed. In fact you could wear a trash bag and she'll think you look hot ;) see ya at 10 –B
After sending the text she joined her friends at the kitchen counter.
"So, Stacie wants to pick me up for our lunch date, I gotta go get ready. Did you guys needed anything other than gossip about my life?" the DJ informed her friends that were making breakfast for themselves; they practically lived at Beca's so this was nothing new to her.
"Umm, yeah actually ummm, Jesse tell her." Amy said and pushed him in front of her.
"Ahh, umm well, yeah, remember how we talked about maybe giving Aubrey a chance? Well, she said she will be back by next week and we are going to have lunch with her, so we were hopping you'll join us?" Jesse said as fast as he could looking anywhere but Beca's direction.
"Way to kill the mood guys." Beca said with a blank face and a dead tone, she had being thinking about this since they brought the subject the other day she just haven't made up her mind yet. "I don't know I'll think about it let me know when are you meeting and I'll let you guys know if I'll go sound good?"
"Hey! You didn't shut the idea down right away nor rip our heads off, so yeah sounds perfect." Jesse said relief clear in her face.
Beca couldn't help but chuckle. "Ok, if that was all then I'm gonna get ready. Enjoy your breakfast guys see ya in a few."
Beca made her way to her bedroom and into her closet to pick out her usual outfit; back skinny jeans, red tank top and red and black plaid shirt with combat boots; she knows she looks hot with these. After a quick shower she got dressed and started her hair, going with loose curls and heavy makeup. At quarter before 10 she was ready and heading out of her room, both her friends were lying on her couch laughing at some episode of How I meet your mother.
"Ummm, guys you know how much I love to have you always hovering around here, but don't you have like a home of your own or other thinks to do? "
"Not our fault you have a killer audio video system short stack and also you have a really comfy couch" Amy answered without looking away from the TV, Beca just sighed and join them to wait for Stacie.
At ten sharp the bell rang and Beca jumped from her place at the couch to get the door. Stacie was there in all her glory. White skinny jeans, and a loose grey t-shirt, with black heels. The DJ took a moment to take in the sight before her. Damn she is so fucking hot. "Hey." Was all she could manage to say before stepping aside and letting the taller brunette into the apartment.
"Hey yourself. My, my, don't you look dashing." Stacie said appreciating the view, and leaning down to give the DJ a kiss, it was supposed to be a quick peck but she was taken by surprise when Beca place her hand in the back of her neck and deepened the kiss, she felt Beca's tongue sweep her bottom lip asking for entrance that she happily granted, they didn't know how long were they kissing when they heard snickering in the background and they broke apart with smiles on their faces.
"Hello guys, I didn't know you were here." Stacie said while waiving at the duo on the couch.
"Hey, please don't mind us you can keep what you were doing" Jesse said overexcited, Stacie and Amy just laugh at this, but Beca shot him a glare that made him recoil and turn his attention back at the paused TV show.
"We should get going, I'm starving." Beca said while taking Stacie's hand and turning towards the door." Please lock after you leave guys, and YES I do hope you are not here when I come back or I will banned you for an entire month, I'm willing to change the locks if needed. See ya weirdos!"
" See ya soon guys!" Stacie said over her shoulder and waved her free hand at them.
" Sorry about them, they are crazy and overwhelming sometimes but you'll get used to them." Beca said while waiting for the elevator.
"Don't worry Becs I really like them." Stacie said sincerely.
Once the elevator arrived they were the only ones there, all it took was one look at each other to continue what they were doing at the apartment. Beca pressed Stacie against the wall and kissed her hard on the lips, Stacie was taken aback at the forwardness of the DJ, she was used to be the one taking the upper hand but she snapped out of it quickly and kissed back with equal force, all to soon the elevator's door opened with a ding and both girls got out laughing hand in hand.
" Oh my God, I've always thought that elevators are aphrodisiac in a really weird way" Stacie said between laughs.
" Yeah, I know, there is just something about them." Beca agreed. " Wow, dude! Is this your car?" She was stunned when she realized that the lawyer had stopped in front of a red Audi R8 spider.
"Yes, being a successful corp lawyer has it's perks." The taller brunette said with a smudge smirk on her face at the DJ's reaction.
"Wow. This car is like amazing!" Beca said while walking around it to take a full view of the car.
"I think I'm a little jealous of the way you are looking at it, want me to leave you two alone for a while?" Stacie said in a playful annoyed tone that made Beca laugh a little and made her way back to Stacie's side.
"Well if you don't mind I'll like to keep drooling over it for a bit." She said and earned herself a playful slap on her shoulder. "I'm kidding Stace, I totally rather drool over your beautiful sexy self." Beca added while bringing the other girl into a hug and kissing her on both cheeks which made her giggle.
"Ok, let's go eat. Come on." Stacie said while opening Beca the passenger door.
"Why, thank you ma'am" Beca said while getting into the car. "chivalry is definitely not dead after all." Stacie only chuckle and close the door. "So where are we going?" Beca asked once they drove off form her building.
"To a small restaurant in Lexintong, you'll love it I promise." She said without taking her eyes from the road.
The way to the restaurant was spent with small talk. Once at the restaurant they let the valet take the car and made their way to a nice restaurant called Blue Star, as soon as they walked through the door a blonde guy came and hug Stacie.
"Stacie, what a nice surprise! It's been so long, how you been?" the man said releasing the lawyer but keeping his hands on her shoulders.
"It's nice to see you Matt and it's only been a month, you know how busy I can get, especially now that Em is living with me." Stacie answered with an eye roll, noticing Beca was a little uncomfortable she quickly took a step back which cause Matts hands to fall from her shoulders and introduced her. "This is Beca Mitchell, my date, Beca this is Matt the owner of this place and a good friend from college."
Beca shook hands with the guy and gave him a lip tight smile. " Nice to meet you."
"OH MY GOD! You're DJ BM, aren't you? I'm a huge fan! Wow Stacie you definitely have great taste. I mean of course you have you dated me but wow DJ BM! Really? I mean just WOW" Matt said with a huge smile on his face and was so excited to meet one of his favorite artists that didn't notice that the comment wasn't welcome by either of the girls. "Please follow me I'll take you to your table." He gesture for them to follow and made his was to one of the tables at the back that was a little more private than the others.
Stacie dare to look over to Beca and notice she wasn't as relaxed as before but made her way to follow Matt, she only sigh and follow them. Damn you Matt, I'll fucking kill you if this ruins my date. Why did you have to be here? You are never here! Just my luck. Fuck.
"Can I offer you girls something to drink?" Matt happily asked oblivious to the tension between the girls.
"Water please." Both girls said in unison, and a little smile appeared on both their faces a little tension drifting away.
"I'll send it right over." Matt said and turned to leave when he was stopped by Stacie.
"Matt would you mind if I fix our meals? I was really hopping to be able to get into the kitchen and win this one over trough her stomach." The lawyer asked and winked at Beca.
"Sure, I'll let Andrea know you will take over her kitchen, I'm sure she won't mind." Matt answered and left in the direction of the kitchen.
There was a little awkward silence for a moment before Beca broke it. " Sooooo, you cook?"
"Yeah, that is why I wanted to come here, so I could cook for you. Listen I'm sorry, I didn't know Matt was going to be here, I mean it is his restaurant but he is hardly ever here, Andrea his sister is the one that usually takes care of everything. Not that I wanted to hide the fact that I dated Matt, is just that, it was a long time ago and it wasn't really anything serious. We dated for like 2 months tops before we realize we worked better as friends. I'll understand if you want to go somewhere else. I hope you are not mad becau…" Stacie's babbling was stopped by Beca with a kiss on her lips.
"You were rambling babe." Beca said when she broke the kiss and lean back to her chair. She wasn't one for PDA but there was something just way to cute in Stacie's rambling and the best way she find to shut her up was kissing her. "I'm not mad. I mean, it was a surprise that he said you two dated after you just said he was a friend but I'm not mad about it, it upset me a little but I knew that you wouldn't bring me to some ex's restaurant for a first official date. You are cute when you ramble by the way." Beca said with a wink and Stacie blushed a little.
"Babe huh?" The busty brunette asked with a smirk on her face getting confident that the DJ was not mad at the whole situation.
" Really? Off all that I said that is what you'll focus on?" Beca said with an eye roll but was blushing a little, to be honest the pet name just flew form her mouth without meaning, but she liked the sound of it.
Stacie just laughed and took Beca's hand. " I like it." She said while looking the tiny DJ in the eyes, there were lost in each other eyes when the moment was broken by the waiter that came with their drinks.
"thank you" Both girls said at once.
" So, Mr. Connors told me you'll be going to the kitchen for this meal so just let me know if you need anything." The waiter said and left.
"Stacie! Soo nice to see you girl!" A blond girls said approaching their table. That must be Andrea.
"Hey, Andy! Nice to see you too. This is Beca." Stacie said while hugging the blonde and gesturing towards the DJ.
"Oh my God is really you! Matt told me DJ BM was here! I'm a huge fan!" Andrea said jumping on the spot.
"That's me! Nice to meet you." Beca said with her trademark smirk.
"Ok, so let me take you to the kitchen Conrad so you can work your magic." Andrea said and gestured for Stacie to follow.
"I'll be back in a minute ok?" the taller brunette said and gave Beca a quick peck on the lips before following Andrea.
Beca made herself busy with her phone to kill the time until Stacie came back.
Chloe woke up with a terrible hung over, she didn't recognized her surroundings and when she looked to her right she notice the girl from last night sound asleep next to her. She carefully gathers her things and makes her way out of the apartment without waking the other girl. Once in the safety of the street she looks at her phone and realizes that is only seven in the morning.
She starts making her way towards a small dinner, once inside she orders a coffee luckily she has some advil in her purse. She is not used to this one night stand thing and feels real bad for leaving the girl like this but she really regrets what happened the night before. After finishing her coffee she went down the street to the Joe's to get her car back.
Once at her place she makes her way to the shower and spends a good half hour in there recalling her break up conversation with Kyle. God, did he really have to use the exact same line? Well you got want you wanted Bale now suck it up.
After her shower she decided to call Aubrey and check if she wanted to meet for breakfast.
After a few rings her blonde friend pick up.
"Hey Chlo! Morning, you need me to come pick you up from wherever you are?" came Aubrey greeting. Even when she didn't used any specific tone she knew her friend was upset with her.
"Hey Bree, ummm no actually I'm home, are you busy or are you up to have breakfast?" Chloe decided not to bring the subject up, at least not over the phone.
"Sure breakfast sound good. See you at Denny's dinner in 10?"
"Sure, see ya."
Once at the dinner she spotted her best friend in their usual both at the far end of the place.
"Hello sunshine, how was the hung over?" Aubrey greeted her friend handing her the coffee she already order for her firend.
"Aghr, like hell, remaind me not to drink that much ever again. My head is still killing me." Chloe answered taking a sip of her coffee.
"Oh, no I can see the effects of that hung over just fine. I meant the moral one. You know breaking Kyle's heart and then hooking up with some random girl." Aubrey commented nonchalant.
"Wow, don't sugarcoat it that much Bree please." Chloe sarcastically replied, and Aubrey couldn't help but notice how much she resembles Beca when she acts like that.
"Well is about damn time someone calls you out on your crap Beale! You really overdid yourself last night. I bet you left that girl this morning without even talking to that girl, didn't you?" Aubrey was losing her cool but she knew her friend needed some though love at the moment. She was going to New York and she will see Beca at some point, she cannot have the redhead acting like this anymore if there was a slim chance of getting things fixed.
"Come on Bree, like you are the one to talk. Remember college? You were the queen of one night stands back then." Chloe argued back, she knew her friend was right but was not willing to give in, at that moment the waitress came with the food that the blonde must have order before she got in.
"Thank you" Aubrey thanked the waitress and waited until she left them alone to answer. "Yeah, you are right I was like that, BACK AT COLLEGE CHLOE! The fact that you are still there does not mean you get to act like you are still a kid. You are a teacher now, grow up Beale!"
"Once! Aubrey. I've got a one night stand ONCE. And you are getting ready to rip my head off? I've grown up. I missed all the fun back in college in case you forgot. I don't see the harm in wanting to experience that at least once in my life Posen. Why are you so judgy now?" Chloe argued back.
"I'm not judgy Chlo, I just know that you are not like that, I bet that you feel like crap right now, and I hate to see you like this, also I know that you love to avoid facing your problems, making Kyle break up with you is just a perfect example of this." Aubrey sighed in defeat. She wanted her friend to man up she will need that very soon.
"I'm not stupid Aubrey, I know I have issues with dealing with things, but I heat being the reason for other people unhappiness. I knew this whole Kyle thing will end up badly and I knew I had to call things off I just didn't knew how." Chloe said looking down at her plate.
"I know Chlo, but can't you see that evading things just doesn't work? Either way you hurt people, and if you are honest with yourself, you must've realized that keeping things from others or avoiding talking about things just because it makes you uncomfortable cause them even more pain at the end." Aubrey said reaching across the table to take her best friend hands in hers.
"Yeah, I've notice. And you are right I feel like crap right now, that girl last night was pretty cool, but the only reason I hook up with her was because something that Kyle said really upset me. He used a phrase that I've heard before and I don't know I just wanted to numb my brain. And I did a good job at that. I was so wasted that even after realizing why I chose that girl I went through with it." Chloe said ashamed of what she did.
"So you did notice the resemblance then?" Aubrey asked, she notice that the girl from last night looked a lot like certain DJ but decided not to comment on it, but now that her friend brought the subject up she might as well take the chance to test the waters.
"Of course I did Bree, how could I not? If I didn't know she is an only child I would've thought that girl was her sister for God's sake. For a moment I considered to leave but then she started kissing me again and well I just couldn't." the redhead admitted to her friend.
"So, you still have feelings for her huh?" Aubrey knew she was pushing it but she needed to get all she could get since it's not often her friend talks about Beca.
"I… I don't know Bree. I guess I do, God I think I'll always will, but that does not mean anything. She is gone. I messed it up too bad. She must hate me now and I can't blame her. Also I have no idea where she might be now. And even if I did I don't think I could gather the courage to see her." Chloe finally admitted not only to Aubrey but to herself.
Aubrey didn't know what to do, she should tell her that Beca was in New York, that she might be able to fix things now that she will go over there but she didn't wanted to make things worse so she keep the info to herself.
"Don't worry Chloe I think everything will work itself out on time. Just promise me that you will try to make good decisions from now on. You'll get the chance of a clean start in New York, take it ok? You can always count I'll have your back ok?" Aubrey reassured her friend.
"I promise Bree. I know, thank you. I'm so grateful to have you in my life. And since we are at it, I'm sorry, I know you were a good friend with her and well I mess things up for you too, so I'm really sorry." The redhead said.
"Don't worry about it Chlo." The blonde said with a small smile on her face, she did missed the midget, she got her in a way that Chloe couldn't especially in the crappy family stuff but hopefully soon she will be able to get another shot at getting that friendship back.
"Ok, thanks. Now tell me how is work going?" Chloe asked wanting to change the topic.
"Great actually, I just got wat I needed to close the case I'll be going back to New York next week. And start arranging things for your move to the apartment." Bree said excitedly.
Stacie came back fifteen minutes later with the best steak that Beca had ever taste.
"Ohhh, wow Stace, you are really a great cook. This is delicious!" Beca said after taking the first bite.
"Thanks Becs. Cooking is actually something I love to do in my free time, don't get me wrong I love my job but I've always had a thing for cooking. My dad didn't think it'll be a good carrier so I just left it as a hobby and went to work with him at the family firm." Stacie explained to the DJ.
"Well if this is where your heart is you should go for it. I think you dad was wrong there are plenty of chefs that earn a lot of money and stuff." Beca wanted the girl in front of her to be as happy as she could be and if being a lawyer wasn't really her thing she should do what she loves.
"Yeah I know, but I just didn't wanted to disappoint him back then and well I do like being a lawyer, I can have both so I'm happy like this. Not sure he deserved my admiration though but anyway." Stacie said while taking a sip of her red wine.
"Ummm, why? If I can know that is." Beca asked, not sure she should since that will only lead to Stacie asking about her family but curiosity got the best of her.
" Well, remember how you asked why Emily and I don't share the same last name? That's because Em has her mom's last name she didn't want her daughter to have my father's last name. My dad travelled a lot due to his work as a corp lawyer so he thought It'll be easy to cheat on my mom without her finding out, thing is, he didn't count in his lover getting pregnant, he keep it a secret for years, he had an agreement with Emily's mom whom had no idea he was married; he will look out for both of them since he wanted to be part of Emily's life but she was not going to tell my mom about this, she reluctantly agreed. I'm 9 years older than Em, my dad came clean when I was at my first year of college. My mom asked for the divorce asap and he granted it. My mom knew how much I always wanted a sibling so she asked my dad to let me meet my sister and he asked Em's mom and they agreed since Emily also wanted a sibling, it was weird at first but she is just such a sweet girl, we had a lot in common and even with the age difference we got along pretty good. All my childhood I looked up to my dad but when I knew about this well I lost my trust in him. My mom always tells me that whatever happened had nothing to do with me or Emily, we just got caught up in adult stuff. He is a good dad, just not a good husband." Stacie ends her story with a shrug.
"Well, I know it sucks to have a bad family background but the bright side is that now you have a pretty cool sister." Beca try to light the mood and even knowing it was a low move trying to change the subject since she wasn't sure she wanted to tell her story, but she was not successful.
"Yeah, and I wouldn't change her for the world. So, enough about me, what's your family story? I told you mine, it's only fair." Stacie asked not giving Beca the chance to change the subject. She was putting herself out there so the DJ better did the same.
"Umm…Well, my dad left when I was 9, he cheated on my mom too, she found out and asked him to try and fixed things, but he didn't wanted to, so he packed up and left, he send the divorce papers a couple of months after that, and remarried to that woman. She didn't know about him being married nor that he had a child, when she found out they were already married. They had a huge fight about it and even got separated for a while but she forgave him eventually. He tried to contact me a couple of years later but I didn't want to know anything about him. He used to call once in a while and sent me a card every birthday but I just didn't want to be near him. My mom got sick in my last year of high school, brain tumor. So she called him and let him know about it. He offer to pay for her treatment or anything she needed but it was too late. He promised he will look after me, so after high school he took me to college, I didn't want to go, I didn't want to leave my mom alone but she insisted so I left, I was about to finish my first year when she passed away. I got along just fine with my dad and his wife now but we are not really close. Sheila his wife it's pretty cool and was a great help after my mom died. I call them once in a while to let them know I'm ok." Beca said as fast as she could. It was always hard to talk about her mom.
"I'm sorry to hear about your mom baby. I'm sure she is really proud of you." Stacie said while making her way over to Beca and hugging her. This cause the tiny brunette to remember the exact same phrase coming from someone else all those years ago. She shook the memory and focus on the present.
"Thanks, Stace. I hope you are right." She said while releasing the tall brunette form the embrace, and placing a smirk on her face she asked. "Baby?"
"Shut up Mitchell!" Stacie said slapping Beca's shoulder.
"I like it, babe" Beca said with a wink.
They left the restaurant after a little discussion on who was paying that Stacie won only on the condition that Beca will plan and pay for their next date. They spent the rest of the day together getting to know each other more and talking about Becas album that will be release by the end of next week. The last single Faith, the song Beca played last night for Stacie will be out next Monday before the album. Stacie left Beca at her apartment that night around nine. Thankfully Amy and Jesse where nowhere to be seeing. Beca wanted nothing more than to crash and make up for the missing sleep the night before; she knew her friend will be bugging her for detail in the morning.
On Monday Beca finished the final touches of her last song with Luke and worked in Emily's single. Amy told her that her single Faith will go out around lunch time and quickly texted Stacie to let her know. Obviously it was a total success.
Aubrey made her way back to New York on Tuesday and called Amy to know if they could meet up. They gather for dinner along with Jesse and discussed about their plan of action, they knew better than to bring up the subject of Beca dating anyone, they knew she will murder them if they share that info with Aubrey. She was excited at the possibility of seeing Beca again since her friends told her they were easing Beca into the idea and decided that they will gather for lunch Thursday, hopefully Beca will agree to join them, they will ask her the next day.
"Morning boss! Morning J." Amy greeted the DJ and Jesse at the office.
"Morning Amy" "Morning" both greeted her and the trio made their way into Beca's office.
Sensing her friends where up to something the tiny brunette asked. "What's going on guys? You seem nervous."
"Ahhh… ahhh…ummm…Jesse you tell her." Amy pushed the boy in front of her.
"Ahgr, really Amy? Again?" Jesse asked the big blond with an annoyed face. " Well Aubrey called, she is back from her business trip and we are joining her tomorrow for lunch, are you coming? Please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top?" He asked with a hopeful look and a pout.
Beca had thought about it and had made up her mind. "Umm, yeah why not. Let's give captain nazi a chance. What time are we meeting her? And where?" She said and was immediately trapped in a hug form both her friends. "Come on guys let go of me!" They both release her but the smile on their faces could bright the room.
"We are going to Tony's Bistro one o'clock. I'll drive us there from here so you can't chicken out." Jesse said.
"Ok, then. Now leave I have work to do." Beca said gesturing to the door.
As soon as they left the office Jesse texted Aubrey letting her known that Beca will join them tomorrow. Aubrey couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face. She was really looking forward to see the DJ again.
Next day Beca was fidgeting with her hands on the way to Tony's; she was both excited and nervous at seeing her friend again.
Once inside she spotted her right away. She seemed to be as nervous as she was; she had no idea about how to greet her. Luckily she didn't had to worry about it that much since Aubrey made her way to her and to surprise of all of them including herself Aubrey hugged her tightly. Beca was taken by surprise but recover quickly and hug back with equal force. They didn't know how much they really missed each other until that moment.
"Hello hobbit. Nice to see you again. I missed you." Aubrey said quietly still hugging the DJ.
"Hi, aca-nazi. I missed you too." Beca whispered back.
Once they finally broke apart they couldn't take the smiles off their faces. Both of them feared this encounter but were glad that it came effortlessly. They catch up like nothing had happened between them which was, in fact, true. Aubrey admitted of spotting Beca in a few gigs but was too scare to approach her, also that she was actually a huge fan of her. She even went as far as to admit she was really proud of her. Beca was grateful to hear that and also that the blond lawyer didn't pressured her back then to interact. Amy and Jesse were watching the scene before them with huge grins on their faces and were happy to share some embarrassing stories of both of them. They enjoy lunch and by the end of it Aubrey asked if Beca will like to take a walk with her. Beca was a little insecure about it but decided to give it a shot. She knew that Aubrey probably wanted to talk about what happened and to be honest she knew she own her an explanation as well as an and Amy decided to head back to the office and Aubrey said she will give Beca a ride later.
"Soooo, out with it Posen. What did you wanna talk about?" Beca asked while they walk in a near park.
"I wanted to apologize Beca, I should've looked for you sooner back then. Or at least join the search party Amy and Jesse made in order to find you." Aubrey said looking to the ground looking really troubled. Beca was not expecting that at all she thought she will be the one apologizing. "I just didn't know if you wanted to see me at the moment and well since you pretty much cut loose I thought It'll be better if they find you first and then when you came back home I'll get the chance to explain but then they came back and said they couldn't find you. Then I move to New York and then they move here and then when I find out that you were here and they keep it a secret I just assumed you didn't wanted anything to do with me. I was really mad at them for not telling me that they found you but then they explain about promising you that they wouldn't tell anyone, well I understood. I know you don't want to hear anything about this but I want you to know that I don't agree with what she did. None of us do. The girls were really mad at her too. You two had exactly what every one of us wanted to have, and for her to mess it up like she did, well, she didn't only let you down. We all could see how hard was for you to open up to her but you did and you were just so caring, so loving whit her. You were like the perfect partner anyone could ask and for her to throw it all away. We just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I swear I tried to make her change her mind, but you know her, once an idea gets into her mind there is no way around it until she realizes by herself that it was not a good idea. We missed you. I missed you, you were like the little annoying tiny sister I never wanted, I mean had." At this both of them chuckled." I really hope we can be friends again Beca. I know it might take a while for you to trust me like you used to but I promise I'll earn your trust back."
Beca was at a loss for words she never expected this from Aubrey Posen, she didn't appreciate the remainder of what had happen but she was glad to hear that pretty much all her friends from college took her side into this even if it didn't see like it since they were in touch with the redhead. But after all it was her own fault that they couldn't reach her. She just assumed that she will be the bad guy on their eyes.
"I… I don't know what to say Bree. I mean I had no idea you felt that way, that all of you felt that way. I'm sorry, I just assumed that you will take her side I mean you were all her friends due to the Bellas, I was just an addition to the group since I was dating her, or at least that's what I thought." Beca says looking at her feet.
"Oh midget, no, you were more than that. You were our friend, you ARE our friend. We all like you, not just because you were dating her but because of who you are. Not gonna lie you did get on my nerves most of the time, but that helped to keep me grounded. You were part of the group even if we never managed to make you join the Bellas." Aubrey said with a little humor, she had no idea the tiny DJ felt that way all the time. "We all love your little dark and gloom sarcastic being."
"Funny Posen, very funny." Beca said to Aubrey with her characteristic eye roll. " I guess I own the rest of the girls an apology too. I mean Jesse and Amy said it all the time; that the girls missed me and all but I thought they were just trying to make me feel better. I am really sorry that I cut all ties to everyone, especially you, apart from the two weirdos I have around all the time you were a pretty good friend to me too Bree, I guess apart from the fear of you taking her side, you were her best friend, well you are her best friend, and I just couldn't have someone as close to her near me, it hurt too much without a constant reminder. But I'm in a better place now, I'm not gonna lie it might take a while but I'll like to get our friendship back, if you are willing to be patience and do not bring this subject up again and please don't tell her you are in touch with me."
Aubrey couldn't help but smile at these words. She was willing to wait forever if it meant that Beca will let her be part of her life again. She meant it when she said she was like a sister to her in a totally different way that Chloe was. "I'm a patient woman hobbit, also very persistent so don't worry I meant it when I said I'll earn your trust back, I won´t say a word."
Both of them hug for a minute. It's nice to have my friend back. Both girls thought at the same time. "As much as I'll love to hang out with you for the rest of the day I have a work to get back to and I'm sure you have too so let's go, I'll drop you off" Aubrey said breaking the hug.
"I do actually. I'm working on my first solo production. Lead the way aca-nazi." Beca joked.
On the way to the studio Beca told Aubrey about t album she was producing and they agreed to meet next Friday at Arrow for Beca's weekly gig. Beca wanted to tell her about Stacie but she was just not sure if she could trust on her on not telling the redhead about seeing her so she decided to wait. She knew Stacie was not going to be able to make it this Friday since she was working in a big case and was really busy so she won't have to worry about that any time soon, she will be able to keep it to herself as long as she wanted. But she was really happy to have Aubrey back in her life. She might even give the rest of the girls a chance, she will think about that.
