Title: After A Cappella
Chapter 10 - London Calling **M RATED CHAPTER**
Summary: Sequel to Solo Act. They were scattered around the globe and living out their lives but special circumstances will always bring the Bellas together. This story will follow Beca after becoming a successful recording artist.
Heathrow Airport - London
Looking out the small window Beca knew the moment she stepped off the giant airbus that her life was about to change. Having recently spent time in L.A. with her a cappella sisters then witness her best friend and, or ex-lover marry another, she was ready to put it all behind her and move forward. With chapters in her life now closed, others were yet to be written as the Grammy nominated artist was about to embark on a new adventure.
As Beca entered the busy terminal, she found Theo eagerly waiting for her arrival. She didn't know what came over her but found her legs gravitating quickly in his direction to the point she was nearly sprinting. It was almost too cliche when he picked her up and swung her around not giving a damn that they'd been spotted by the unrelenting paparazzi.
"Welcome to London." Theo pressed his lips to hers. "God, I've missed you."
"Mmm…me too." Beca mumbled against his lips, wrapping her arms around his neck. "So, where's the little shit?" she asked, looking around.
Chuckling at her snark he planted another kiss on her lips before lowering his celebrity girlfriend to her feet. He knew from the recent conversations they had she was still upset about Jesse following through with the wedding and planned to cheer her up anyway he could. But he also noticed that something had changed in her behavior since they last saw each other. She was less reserved and didn't give a damn who was witnessing their public display of affection. "Allison's with the nanny today."
"You have your own Mary Poppins?"
"Yeah, something like that." he was amused by her comment. "I thought we'd spend some time together before I introduce you ladies."
"How thoughtful of you." Beca quipped, appreciating his suggestion. Having flown all night with her travel companion, Ambien she hoped she wouldn't be as jet lagged when she arrived and was excited to be in another part of the world she'd always wanted to visit, and with a man who adored her. "So, now that I'm here, what will you do with me?"
It was a loaded question...
"Well...first I'm going to take you home and get you out of these clothes and then I'm going to worship every inch of your body with one of my special massages."
"Mmm...I'm liking the sound of that." she was practically purring. "And then...?"
"And then I'm going to violate you every which way possible until you can't take it anymore, or pass out."
After being apart for a few weeks her body was craving his attention and from the tone of his voice, she knew it would be exactly what the doctor ordered.
"Then what the fuck are we waiting for?"
With a sense of urgency they retrieved her luggage and headed for the parking structure where a silver Audi A3 convertible was parked.
"This is yours?" she asked, letting him open her passenger door.
"Yeah, you like it?"
Words were not needed when Beca shook her head in disbelief. Under duress the Bellas had forced her to watch the Fifty Shades trilogy. She made a mental note that Theo had the same vehicle as the pompous billionaire, then wondered what else he had in common with the pervert.
Sinking into the soft red leather bucket seats she fastened her seatbelt while he clambered into his side and secured his. Taking a band out of her bag Beca gathered her hair in a ponytail and put on her dark shades.
Leaning over he placed another kiss to her lips. "I'm really glad you're here, my daughter's going to love you." then started the engine.
After a thirty minute drive they turned into an ultra modern high rise community.
Embassy Gardens - London
"You live in an apartment?" Beca asked, checking out the tall building. "It's not very kid friendly."
"Exactly." he agreed. "In London we refer to these as luxury flats, and yes after the divorce I rented this place to be closer to my daughter who lives with her mum in the suburbs. As you see, I'm not exactly the white picket fence type so I hope you like it."
Pulling into valet an attendant was there to check their vehicle in and collect her bags. As they entered the building and took the elevator up, Beca became more quiet.
"What's wrong?" Theo asked. With the realization hitting her, Beca felt a sense of panic. Change wasn't her thing, however since breaking off from the Bellas and becoming a Solo Act, she was becoming more accustomed to it.
"It's nothing." she finally answered, then shut down like a clam.. "I'm fine."
With her demeanor changed she didn't appear as confident as she was at the airport. Theo recognized when her walls were climbing and knew he needed to reel her back in before she ran for the hills. "Hey, don't be like that." he cupped the side of her face. "I'm not going to hurt you."
"I know that, it's just I don't have a lot of experience with all this." she admitted truthfully. "Jesse was pretty much my only boyfriend, and now there's you." she gave one of her trademark smirks. "I've never done anything like this before. You know, travel to a strange place with a strange man. This is SO not like me."
"I love it when you refer to me as your boyfriend." Theo smiled warmly, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I want to get something straight. I know you're not happy about what happened with your friend. I've been in his shoes, remember? I'll help him anyway I can, but it's you I'm nuts about. I'm in this for the long haul, Beca. But if you're not ready for us, just tell me and I'll back off. I'm not going anywhere."
"I appreciate that but if I didn't want this, I wouldn't be here." Beca snaked her arms around his neck. "Now that he's married I have the closure I need to move on." and reinforced her position with a kiss.
Further clarification wasn't needed, Beca was invested in the relationship. As the elevator reached their floor, without any warning, Theo swept his girl off her feet and carried her to the foyer leading to his unit where a security guard was patrolling. Burying her head in her boyfriend's chest she said hello to the stoic man while Theo worked on opening the door.
The unit was the typical bachelor pad, sparsely decorated with marble flooring and accent lighting from chrome wall fixtures. With black leather furniture paired with mirrors and glass tables, it was modern decor at its finest with the focal point of the room being a giant wall mounted TV over a recessed linear fireplace. Looking straight ahead there was a wet bar and a wall composed of glass displaying the beautiful London skyline.
"Nice place." Beca complimented the surroundings, looking around. With her feet dangling she wondered what Theo had in store for her until he brought them to the master bedroom and playfully tossed her on the canopied king-size bed.
Chuckling at how eager he was to get her in bed, she wasted no time in removing her leather jacket and boots then unbuttoned her multicolored blouse revealing a sexy black bra. All Theo could do was stare at his stunning girlfriend as she laid back against a pile of accent pillows and summoned him with her finger to join her.
"I hope you're not too tired." he laid down next to her and freed her hair from the confines of the ponytail. With her brown locks spilling over his hand he combed his fingers through her scalp.
"For this..." she breathed, enjoying the impromptu scalp massage she was receiving. "Never..."
As he worked the snap and zipper of her skinny jeans with one hand, the other gently squeezed a breast eliciting a strangled cry that Theo was all too eager to silence with a kiss.
"I want you, Beca." he urged against her lips. "I want you right now."
Kissing his way down her neck his tongue lightly grazed along her soft alabaster skin and let out a soft moan as he slowly made his way to where she wanted him to be.
"Fuck!" Beca breathed as Theo nuzzled her cleavage then kissed the swells of her breasts. When he pulled down a cup to expose her pebbled flesh, she was practically panting with need. He loved her compact body but was totally smitten with her tits; they were perky and perfectly proportioned to her size with prominent peaks begging for attention. Loving the way she felt on his tongue he indulged himself like there was no tomorrow.
The sounds coming from his woman spurred him on, and when his hand disappeared under the elastic of her g-string and settled on her smooth mound, she nearly became unglued. Theo sighed at the heat permeating from within and helped himself to more.
"You're so warm and wet." he whispered seductively while massaging her below. Hearing her breaths grow louder he knew she was getting close to finishing. Abandoning her chest he pulled off her jeans and flung her legs over his shoulders where he kissed her inner thighs and slowly made his way to her center. Her scent was intoxicating to him as he held her thighs in place and formed a tight seal while devouring her essence until...
"Beca?" he called her name a couple more times then realized it happened again. And just like their first night together, Beca had become so relaxed from the attention her body was receiving, she fell asleep...
A couple of hours later Beca woke up to an empty bed. She was still in her undergarments but covered up. She couldn't believe that she'd fallen asleep again when receiving oral gratification and needed to apologize for being such a lousy girlfriend. Getting out of bed she visited the on suite bath and freshened herself up. Removing her bra and underwear she went through his closet and picked out a white buttoned down shirt she could wear. Within minutes she was ready to make amends to her boyfriend who was laid out on his leather sofa, watching a Shark Tank marathon. When he saw her approaching he switched off the TV and crossed his arms with the smuggest expression.
"Well, well, well… look who decided to join the living."
Smirking at his comment she accepted the shit he was giving her and attempted to apologize. "I'm so sorry, guess I was more tired than I thought."
"It's okay." Theo smiled warmly. "I should've known better, I mean...you've been flying all night. We have all the time in the-"
"-Dude!" Beca cut him off. Straddling his thighs she unsnapped his jeans then zipped down his fly. "Shut the fuck up!"
"Yes ma'am." Theo was elated. It didn't happen very often but he loved it when Beca took control of their lovemaking. She wasn't the most experienced lover he'd ever had but she was the most passionate and knew exactly how to please him.
Helping herself, she reached inside his briefs and wrapped her hand around his girth. Pumping his pride and joy until he was ready for action, without wasting another moment, she rose to her knees and prepared herself for penetration.
Closing her eyes momentarily she adjusted her angle so he could slide deep inside and hit her sweet spot. Using his shoulders as leverage she jockeyed him slowly like the stallion he was while he sat up and pushed off his shirt to admire her naked form. Relishing the sweet weight of her breasts, it didn't take long for her body to react to its prize. Feeling the build up from within she increased her momentum until they were crying out their releases.
She was in no hurry to disconnect from her lover who held her close while their breathing evened out. They were warm and content and enjoying their post coital glow.
"You're forgiven." he breathed, coming down from the heavens. "Thank you."
Laughing at his comment she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. "You're very welcome, weirdo."
As they laid together on his sectional, Theo hooked a strand of hair behind her ear and couldn't stop thinking about the woman in his arms. Other than his daughter he'd never felt such strong feelings for anyone. But with Beca being a closed book, there was still a lot he didn't know about the Seattle native, and that was beginning to bother him.
"I can hear you thinking." Beca propped herself up on his chest. This time he was quiet and she needed to find out why. "What is it?"
"You know everything about me."
"Yeah...pretty much."
"It's not fair."
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
"Something I would never expect from you." Theo challenged her. "The juicier, the better."
"Like what?" she asked, shifting against him. "You already know I've only had like two partners, I'm boring..."
"Everyone's got a secret Beca, even you." he goaded her on.
"Alright...fine." she sighed in resignation. "Ask me anything."
"Have you ever stolen anything?"
"No." she answered quickly. "Next question."
"Done any drugs?"
Beca smirked and gave it more thought. "Do pot brownies count?"
"Yes."
"Okay, next question."
"Ever been arrested?"
"Dude! You already know about that." Beca complained. "Freshman year I punched a guy then did hard time for destruction of public property."
"You're such a badass."
"Damn straight." Beca nodded. "So don't fuck with me."
Theo held his hands up in surrender. "Okay, last question." he thought long and hard for this one. "Have you ever thought about being with a woman?"
"What...sexually?" she asked for clarification.
"Yes."
Thinking back to the time when she shared a small studio apartment in Manhattan with Chloe and Fat Amy, Beca exhaled deeply while shaking her head. "Okay, brace yourself because this is going to blow your mind."
Theo couldn't keep the grin off his face. "You have my undivided attention."
"I can't believe I'm going to tell you this but, what the hell." she took a moment then began her story. "I was having a shitty day with one of my clients. Pimp-Lo was the idiot's name. Anyway, I produced one of his songs and, if I do say so myself, was the fucking bomb."
"I bet." Theo agreed.
"Anyway, he hated it and then my piece of shit boss took his side. She even told him I was on my period."
"Ouch!" he added.
"Yeah...no shit! I was so pissed that I actually walked out. This is what convinced me that producing music for others wasn't for me anymore. When I got home I told Fat Amy and Chloe what transpired and they talked me into going to this nightclub with them. Anyway, we got 'tarted up', Amy's words not mine, then headed over to a place called Cielo. When we got there, Fat Amy scored some dude immediately and left Chloe and I at the bar. I think we were on our 4th or 5th drink when these two douchebags started hitting on us."
"Fuckers! What did you do?"
"We pretended to be, you know...together."
"You and Chloe?"
"Yeah, but they refused to believe us."
"Oh shit, what did you do?"
Beca emptied her lungs. "Okay, so we excused ourselves to the ladies room, hoping if we stayed there long enough that the assholes would get the message that we weren't interested. No such luck. Chloe saw them looking for us and pushed me backwards against a wall to hide from them. The next thing I knew her hands were on me. When I questioned her, she kissed me."
"Wow!" Theo was beside himself. "What happened next?"
"Um…" by this time Beca was biting her lip and turning a bright shade of red. "I kissed her back." then waited for his reaction. It was the first time she verbalized it out loud. She swore on her grandmother's grave that she would never tell a living soul about the night that she and Chloe made out but Theo was asking. "Look, I had several drinks in me and it just sort of happened. Actually, it was kind of nice."
"I can't believe it, my girlfriend kissed a girl and liked it." Beca rolled her eyes at his reference to the popular song. "So, what happened afterwards?"
"Nothing. The assholes bought it and we left." Beca admitted. "I told you I was boring."
"Babe." Theo positioned them so he was on top. "You're a lot of things, but boring isn't one of them."
"Okay, you were right about me, I did have a secret." she took a moment to give it more thought. "Chloe and I have always been very close. I guess if I ever did want to experiment, it would be with her assuming she and Chicago didn't work out." she added, getting a nod of understanding from her boyfriend. "Jesus, I sound like such a freak. You must be disgusted with me."
"Are you serious?" he asked rhetorically. "Knowing this about you makes me love you even more."
"What! How?" Beca was officially dumbfounded by his comment.
"Because you're honest and don't pretend to be somebody you're not." he opened. "You're not judgmental or prejudice against the color of someone's skin or their sexual orientation." he went on. "You're capacity for love is endless and you're the most passionate woman I've ever met." he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. "I love everything about you."
By this time Beca was emotionally compromised. Nobody had ever spoken to her like that; not even her first boyfriend. Theo knew her too well and that scared the shit out of her. When his lips found hers she groaned internally and felt something stir from within that she thought she'd lost with Jesse; unconditional love. She wasn't ready to say it out loud but she was definitely feeling it; Beca was falling for him.
After another round of intense lovemaking, they took a long hot shower then got ready to meet up with Allison. With the first day in London underway, things were changing faster then Beca expected and she wondered what else was coming her way.
Martin Residence - London
Pulling up to a modest size home in suburbia hell, Beca thought Theo was being cliche about the white picket fences until she saw it for herself. Parking in the driveway he honked his horn and not a minute later, a little girl darted out the front door. Shutting off the engine Theo quickly exited the convertible and ran towards his daughter.
Beca could see right away that Theo was a good father and didn't hold back his affection for the little girl he picked up and embraced. Then it struck her like a bolt of lightning, she was meeting her boyfriend's daughter. Taking deep breaths to calm her nerves, Beca exited the passenger side, took a few steps forward then stopped in her tracks. Noticing the little girl was wearing a white t-shirt with 'Bite Me' lettering on its front made her chuckle but what she didn't expect was his child bore a striking resemblance to her at that age.
"Hey! Are you coming?" Theo called out, bringing her out of her fog. "Get over here and meet my baby."
Biting her lower lip, Beca nodded then tentatively approached the two.
"Daddy...I'm not a baby anymore, I'm almost five!" Allison replied in a thick British accent then directed her attention to the woman clad in a black leather jacket walking towards them. "You're Beca?"
"In the flesh."
When Theo put his daughter down she walked right up to the former Bella. "You're really short."
"Oh yeah?" Beca crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Well...you're even shorter."
"Well duh...I'm supposed to be little, I'm a kid!" she overstated the obvious with a dramatic huff. "What's your excuse?"
Looking over at Theo he shrugged his shoulders and nearly busted up laughing because Beca Mitchell had finally met her match in a pint sized version of herself who was filled with quick wit and sarcasm, something she could definitely relate to.
"How can I possibly argue with that?"
"Trust me when I say this." Theo shook his head. "Don't bother."
Beca returned her attention to the little shit who was still waiting for an answer. "Alright child...show me this turtle of yours."
