CHAPTER 7: PROCEED WITH CAUTION

Stacie enters her SUV, closes her eyes, and puts her head against the steering wheel trying to control her panic. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Beca is going to fire me. Fuck fuck fuck. The one moment where Beca actually let me in and I tell Chloe. Fuck fuck fuck fuck. She is going to fire me and kick me out the apartment. Our really, really nice big apartment. Fuck fuck fuck. I'm going to become a hobo. Stacie turns on the engine when she hears a knock on the window. She turns and sees Fat Amy. Stacie sighs and rolls down the window.

"What Fat Amy?" She couldn't help the bitterness in her voice. She was going to become a hobo after all.

Fat Amy is gasping for air at the side of the car. She puts one finger up signaling her to give her a second. Stacie rolls her eyes. "You really need to consider doing cardio."

Fat Amy straightens up, regaining her breath, "You skinny bitches just need to stop doing cardio and I would be fine."

Stacie rolls her eyes again. Definitely a trait she has picked up from being around Beca. By now, Chloe has caught up with the two and comes up right beside Fat Amy, unsure with what to say. She has been making assumptions and letting anger and frustration get the best of her. Which is very much unlike her but when it comes to Beca she is feeling way too many overwhelming emotions to even think clearly. And to find out Stacie has been fucking Beca on top of everything else, the feeling of betrayal and jealousy, however irrational it may be, is now added to the fire burning her heart.

Fat Amy speaks up, "Stacie, I know you're worried about becoming a hobo. I'm very worried for you. You just blew up back there and you are totes getting fired…IF.…IF Beca finds out. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Stacie looks at Fat Amy skeptically, "You want me to lie to Beca? You are willing to keep your mouth shut of what happened in there? FAT Amy, you couldn't even keep your mouth shut with Chloe!"

"AH! See but that's different. It's Chloe."

"And it's Beca." Stacie shoots back.

"No, no that's the new Beca. She doesn't count. We all want the old Beca back right?"

Fat Amy looks at the redhead and the brunette for agreement. The redhead nods and Stacie shrugs. Fat Amy and Chloe shoot Stacie a glare.

Stacie shrugs again, "I like the new Beca, she's fun. I just want her to be happy and safe and not just cause she is rolling."

"Well then that's more like the old Beca, right?"

Stacie sighs in defeat, "Uh, sure." All this stress is going to give me wrinkles.

Fat Amy claps her hands, "Good, we are all in the agreement. We all want the old Beca back and in order to do that, you can't get fired. So this is the triangle of silence. This triangle will not tell Beca that Stacie betrayed her."

Stacie clenches her jaw at the word 'betrayal', through her teeth she replies, "I did not betray her." I totally did…god, I hope I did the right thing.

Fat Amy waves it off, "yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. It doesn't matter."

Stacie goes to say something but this time Chloe speaks up, "Guys, I just really want to see Beca and see things with my own eyes. Maybe you guys are over-exaggerating and Beca is not that bad? Right? And if she is and if we need re-enforcements, I will call Bree, tell her it's an emergency and she will fly over and fix everything. I know it. Everything will be fine." Chloe smiles and nods her head to her plan, feeling hopeful.

Stacie interest piques on the possibility of Bree coming to LA. That could be interesting, or utterly terrifying.

Fat Amy nods her head in agreement, "and if that doesn't work, I got a cousin in Tasmania that can make her be tripping so bad, she will become a nun."

Stacie's eyes widen, "NO BAD TRIPS. I am serious, bad trips and Beca, No. No. No cousin from Tasmania."

Chloe agrees with Stacie on that, "Lets hope it won't come to that. So, Stacie, where's Beca?"

Stacie sighs. Her friends are too determined at this point and this can escalate real quickly if Aubrey also attacks the DJ. "Guys, she really is not that bad…" Fat Amy and Chloe give her a look of 'we don't believe you'.

Stacie rolls her eyes, too late to turn back now. "Are we in the triangle of silence?" Might as well go along with it so I can intervene if need be.

Chloe and Fat Amy quickly nod their heads.

"If I tell you where to find her, you leave Aubrey out of this." Aubrey would blow chunks and then kill me and then Beca…

Fat Amy and Chloe look to each other and have a silent conversation with their eyes before turning back towards Stacie and nod in agreement with fingers crossed where Stacie can't see them.

"Fine, Well… right now she is working with an artist. But I can tell you what club DJ BLISS will be tonight. Then you can see things for yourself."

Chloe sighs with relief to finally be able to see Beca, "Thank you Stacie…..uhm…I'm sorry I hit you back there. That wasn't fair of me."

"You're right. It wasn't. Especially when you have Prince Charming." Stacie says with all seriousness.

Chloe looks away. Oh yeah. Chris. I nearly forgot about him.

Fat Amy comes to Chloe's aid, sort of. "How about we go back to my place, get ginger all settled and then go hit this club like the old days…. Do we want to invite Prince Charming?"

"NO." Stacie and surprisingly Chloe answer in unison.

Fat Amy quickly puts her hand up in surrender. "…What about Bumper? I mean it is a club. If I don't bring my man then I will be hit on all night long and I am a one-man show now. Gotta stay away from temptation."

Stacie sighs, ignoring Fat Amy's question, and unlocks the doors so her friends can get in. I'm going to regret this.

A sexy looking Stacie in a short tight blue dress leads Chloe, Fat Amy, and Bumper to the entrance of a club, walking past a very long line of patrons waiting for entry. After they settled Chloe at Fat Amy's place earlier that day, the group made a quick shopping trip to find something sexy for Chloe to wear since she didn't pack any club attire to Costa Rica. Chloe felt uncomfortable of the thought of being too flashy or scandalous, opted to buy black skinny jeans and a light blue top that hung loosely on her body but still had a moderate about of cleavage showing due to its dipping neckline. Just because she didn't feel comfortable with showing a lot of flesh since her incident in Costa Rica doesn't mean she wanted to dress like a Christian schoolgirl either. A small part of her wished Chris was there so he can protect her from all unwanted advances. Even though it's been six months, Chloe still felt traumatized by her helplessness in that situation. Her sexy confidence that just radiated off her during college definitely took a blow. Despite all her college hook ups and drunken shenanigans at frat parties where she could barely see straight, Chloe never felt violated or powerless like she did with those men. Just the thought of it now made Chloe's heart rate increase as they walk along the sidewalk getting closer and closer to the club entrance. Deep breaths Chloe. Everything will be fine. No one's going to harass you. Stop being paranoid. Just focus on seeing Beca.

Bumper, oblivious to Chloe's mental battle, was enjoying taunting the customers in line. "Ladies, ladies, ladies. Don't you wish you had a piece of all this. VIP coming through. Fellas keep a leash on your misses, don't wanna lose them."

Fat Amy couldn't help but eye some sexy men in line, before directing her gaze to Bumper, linking their arms, "Yeah baby, you best keep a leash on me tonight, there are a lot of sexy beasts looking to be tamed." Bumper's eyebrows momentarily shoot up but quickly return to his confident demeanor.

"I'm not worried, once you go Bumper, you can't go back."

Fat Amy nods her head in agreement, "True, besides these sexy beasts don't have anything on my Bumper bear."

Overhearing their conversation, Chloe and Stacie mentally gag. Fat Amy directs her attention to Stacie, "Stacie, I may have only been in LA for a couple of months, and not to doubt your vaj power, but are we really just gonna walk up and they let us in. I mean, I know my sexy fat ass can get us in when I was single but I can only use my seduction powers on my man now."

Stacie laughs and glances at Fat Amy, "Perks of my perfect job." Adds a little wink for fun. Chloe catches that wink and her slowly growing anxiety was doused with a splash of jealousy.

"Stace, I thought you said Beca didn't know we were coming, how are we on the VIP list?"

Stacie simply replies, "I'm always on the list."

Stacie's mood has definitely changed from earlier today. After their little shopping trip, she dropped off Chloe and Amy so she could get ready herself. Loaded with three shots of tequila to calm her worries, Stacie has a happy buzz going. Between the tequila, the approaching club that she knows oh so well, her DJ's club music, and basically the return to her familiar LA life, Stacie was back to her carefree confident self.

In the event that she does get fired, Stacie's newly developed plan B (created throwing back shots of tequila) is to grovel for forgiveness to Beca and then literally fuck her way into DJ's good graces. If her friendship with Chloe has to become collateral damage, then so be it. It could be the guilt from earlier but her loyalty is first to Beca, all sides of Beca. Just like how she considers to be Beca's Everything, Beca is her Everything and if this reunion ends up hurting more than helping, she will do whatever it takes to protect Beca and her own job first. Besides, it's been two years, Chloe has Prince Charming and Beca has Stacie and her successful music career. Their paths do not need to intertwine. They would probably be just fine without the redhead. Stacie will just have to find another way to open Beca's heart to love and somehow make her be more soberly present in life AND stay clear of bad influences. The tall brunette will just continue taking care of the DJ and pray that she never has to rush Beca to the hospital again. The hospital incident was a one-time thing. Has to be. It was two months ago and it was the first and last time the DJ let her new friend Alice shoot her up with a needle. Fucking Alice…God I hope I don't regret this…fuck I need another shot. Thinking of the past was ruining her buzz.

The group reach the very large but very handsome bouncer at the door. He smiles at Stacie and unclips the velvet rope, allowing entrance, "Hey Princess. You look gorgeous as always."

Stacie smiles, leans up and kisses the man on the cheek, "Kyle you are too sweet to me."

Kyle glances at the people accompanying Stacie and sees a very fresh and pretty redhead. "And who's your new and drop dead gorgeous friend?"

Fat Amy steps up and offers her hand, "You are sweet, I'm Fat Amy." Bumper silently fumes in the background. Kyle lets out a small laugh and takes Fat Amy's hand, brings it to his lips and kisses the back gently. "Nice to meet you Fat Amy" Kyle replies softly before his eyes look at the redhead again. Chloe tenses under his stare and offers a small smile before looking away. Stacie sees the interaction and gently pats Kyle's chest.

"Off limits Big man."

Kyle frowns, "Is she with you?"

Stacie ponders her response, "…consider her another Princess."

Kyle's eyes widen and straightens up, "Yes, Princess. You ladies enjoy your night."

Stacie smiles at the reaction and replies with a friendly but serious tone, "Oh tonight is going to suck, do me a favor and have one of your uber friends on standby? Now, I need a drink. Bye Kyle."

The group starts to walk past Kyle in single file when Bumper yells up to Stacie, "Hey Stacie, I didn't realize there were princesses in brothels." Bumper starts to laugh at his own joke. Fat Amy turns to hit her sometimes incredibly rude fiancé but Kyle grabs a handful of Bumper's shirt from behind and pulls him back outside. Bumper stumbles and the group turns around to see Bumper stumbling backwards outside. Kyle clips the velvet rope back and crosses his arms.

"Disrespecting the Princess results in no entry. Enjoy your night elsewhere."

Bumper is dumfounded, Fat Amy and Chloe are shocked, and Stacie smirks, her mood rapidly improving. Stacie walks back to Kyle and rubs his back with one hand before giving him another kiss on the cheek. She looks at Bumper with a smirk still on her face and says with a very innocent voice, "Don't you know never to disrespect a princess? Tisk Tisk Tisk." She gives him a goodbye wave to rub it in and starts to head into the club. God I love my life.

Chloe and Fat Amy look at each other clearly missing something. Yes, what Bumper said was very rude but for the bouncer to quickly remove him was unexpected. Deserving, but unexpected. The two were also curious to why Kyle was only referring to Stacie as Princess but chopped it down to an endearing pet name that would tease her about later. Maybe Kyle is Stacie's boyfriend? But the two were unaware of any love interest in Stacie's life.

Fat Amy shrugs, "Bye Honey bear, I'll see you when I get home." And with that, Fat Amy follows Stacie inside, preparing to fully question and tease Stacie about Kyle. Chloe shakes her head and a small smile comes across her face of how cute and admirable Kyle's action was for the sake of defending the "Princess" 's honor. That was kinda awesome. Chloe follows her friends inside, fully intending to figure out what just happened. Chloe's body starts to relax as a sense of safety invisibly wraps around her as she recalls Stacie telling Kyle to consider her a princess as well.

From the platform, DJ BLISS watches the bright colored crowd dancing to the music in a smoky haze, their energy feeding into her high causing her soul to vibrate with happiness. She is ecstatic and free with the giddy smirk permanently set on her face. This is the time where she feels happy without a care in the world. No stress. No responsibilities. No void.

BLISS happily sighs as she continues to look out into the crowd, her eyes immediately lock onto vibrantly red hair by the bar. Her hair looks like its on fire! Cool! She's probably hot too. I must go see. The brunette queues up a couple of songs to keep playing as she goes off and tries to get a look at the woman with red hair.

The group reaches the bar and Stacie immediately waves the bartender over. He quickly rushes over at the sight of Stacie.

"I need three shots of tequila." She looks over to her friends, "Do you guys want anything?"

Fat Amy and Chloe find themselves shocked again. Fat Amy speaks up, "Yeah put me down for a shot." Chloe nods in agreement, "Same."

Stacie turns back to the bartender and signals for two more shots. The Bartender places five shot glasses in front of Stacie and pours the tequila. Chloe can't help but worry about Stacie's three. Fat Amy is the first to speak up, "Planning on getting wasted on us Legs?"

"Just getting prepared."

Chloe gives her a curious look, "Prepared for what?"

Stacie looks at Chloe, the woman that can fix or ruin Beca. "For anything that can happen in the next ten minutes." Stacie slides over her friends' shots before quickly downing hers, ignoring the burning in the back of her throat. The other two follow suit. Before Stacie can get to glass #3, Fat Amy grabs it away from her.

"Sharing is caring Tiny tits." And downs the drink. Fat Amy then reaches into her purse and starts pulling out money. Stacie scrunches her nose in confusion and waves it off.

"My drinks are free Amy."

Now Amy looks a little confused, "Free? You banging the bartender too? Man I miss being single."

Stacie chuckles and shakes her head. Her happy buzz coming back. "Bryan wishes but no. Just another perk of being a Princess."

Chloe speaks up, "Okay okay okay, mind explaining the whole princess thing?" Amy points to Chloe and nods in agreement. She would also like to know.

Stacie smiles and shrugs, "Special treatment made by the owners. I'll explain late—I'm gonna not be here. I was never here. I did not bring you guys. Okay, bye." Stacie quickly disappears. Unbeknownst to her two very confused friends, her DJ senses were tingling. The woman of the hour was near and Stacie's liquid courage hasn't kicked in yet.

Chloe turns to Amy, "Am I the only one really confused?"

Fat Amy see someone behind Chloe, her eyes widen but recovers and throws her arms in the air, "SHORT STACK!" Fat Amy rushes around Chloe and gives Beca a bear hug. Beca giggles and returns the hug, feeling the happiness of her large friend. Fat Amy pulls away, "Guess who's back! TA-DA!"

DJ BLISS and Chloe's bright blue eyes lock. Her permanently giddy smirk faltering slightly as she attempts to process the person in front of her.

Before she can even think about it, Chloe rushes to the DJ and gives her a big crushing hug, burying her head into her neck. All of today's emotions temporarily forgotten.

Beca's breath hitch as her senses go into overdrive. Still unable to really process what's going on, she slowly wraps her arms around the redhead and surrenders to the feeling of the overwhelmingly warm embracing from the beautiful red head woman with breathtakingly blue eyes.

The first thing BLISS processed was how her skin was on fire. Sure, she gets that sensation on her hook ups, but this was more intense and she wanted more. BLISS' suddenly darker blue eyes find Stacie intensely staring at her slowly shaking her head, signaling the hunter to back down. Stacie knows those eyes. Those eyes don't see Chloe for Chloe. Just prey. Stacie knows that would only end in disaster.

Still with her permanent smirk, BLISS rolls her eyes and blows a kiss towards Stacie before pulling away from the reluctant redhead who seemed sadden by the release. BLISS looks at the redhead and then at Fat Amy, "You ladies have a good night, drinks are on me." She sends a wink to the redhead and turns to leave.

"Beca, wait." Chloe grabs her hand turning her back to her. By reflex, BLISS pulls Chloe towards her, there faces now inches apart. Shock and flustered Chloe doesn't dare more as she stares into Beca's familiar yet unfamiliar eyes, ignoring the uneasy feeling it was inflicting. BLISS leans in and places a lingering kiss on the redhead's flushed cheek and slowly moves her lips to the other woman's ear (sending shivers down Chloe's spine) and whispers, "Have a good night."

BLISS quickly disappears into the crowd. Fat Amy moves to stand next to a stunned Chloe, "What was that?"

Chloe shakes her head, "I…I don't know, but that wasn't Beca."

Fat Amy pats Chloe on the back, "Told ya so. But we can deal with that later. Right now drinks are on the Short Fry so lets go annihilate the bar and save the world tomorrow."

Chloe slowly nods, not knowing what else to do, and follows Fat Amy to an opening at the bar.

BLISS pushes Stacie against a wall in the empty club office. Stacie starts to panic, "DJ I can expla—". BLISS grabs the back of Stacie's neck and crashes her lips to hers, effectively shutting her up. BLISS quickly escalating the kiss and presses her body against her fuck buddy, getting lost in the sensation and desire. The smaller brunette's lips quickly move to the neck, finding that sweet spot, and giving it a little bite. Stacie couldn't help but moan out from pleasure and pain.

"Fuck, I didn't see this coming."

BLISS starts sucking on the sensitive area and hikes Stacie's dress up above her waist, exposing her black lacy thong. The smaller brunette grabs the back of Stacie's right thigh and lifts it up and around her waist, effectively positioning herself in between the long legs and snaking her left hand around Stacie's waist stabilizing her.

"DJ, you need to finish your…"

Ignoring Stacie once again, BLISS moves Stacie's underwear to the side and quickly plunges two fingers into her. Stacie's head flies back, body involuntarily arching towards the smaller woman and lets out a loud moan.

"Ohhhh fuck, nevermind." Stacie grabs the DJ's face and their lips crash again. Letting the DJ have her way with her because that's what DJ BLISS needs right now. The DJ wants to drown in sexual desire, to have her skin ablaze, to hear the sweetest sounds echoing inside her head and then fly down to her core, and lastly to squash all thoughts and unexplained dulled feelings of…something that the redhead created when she hugged her.
