Chapter 10
"C'mon, Mitchell. You got this. You're Beca Mitchell. Calm down, it's just an interview." Beca was pacing around her dressing room while nobody was still there. She was nervous and excited at the same time.
In fact, when she told Jesse and the rest of the team that she agreed to do an interview with Ellen, the team were shocked at the news. Her team was bugging her to do interviews with the media, but Beca claims that it isn't her thing. This time is different, she wanted everyone to know who she really is.
Beca was pulled out of her thoughts when someone knocked on her door.
"Ms. Mitchell? It's your styling team. Can we come in?" The person asked. Beca opened the door for them and was surprise to sea at least 5 people present to prepare her for the interview.
"Whoa. Wait, dude. Are you all fixing me up?" Beca pulled one man named John to the side. John just looked at Beca confusingly.
"No. Uhm, Sorry. But you see, I'm not really used to being styled you know. I was expecting that there would only be a couple of 2 or 3 people to be here for me." Beca explained.
"Ms. Mitchell, I admire how humble you are, and I know that you are not used to this being the claustrophobe you are. But you get all of us here. Okay? So, just relax and we'll do you justice." John smirked.
It's not like Beca was being humble or anything, the truth is she did not really want to have lots of people fussing over her.
A knock was heard over the door despite the noise surrounding Beca as she was being styled for her most awaited interview.
"Becs. It's me. Can I come in?" Jesse asked.
"Sure, J. I have no choice anyway." Beca shouted back.
Jesse entered Beca's dressing room and was in awe of what was before him. His bad-ass best friend was transformed into a different person. Beca looked pretty amazing in a simple red skater dress which she chose over John's pile of glamorous dresses. Her hair was curled, and fell effortlessly over her shoulders.
Her make up was fabulous as well. Beca wore too much eye liner and mascara but this time, it was like she was not wearing at all. Her make up was just light, in order to accentuate her features especially her steel blue eyes. Jesse also noticed that she was wearing black pumps instead of her usual Dr. Marten's boots. To sum everything up, Beca was just effortlessly flawless.
"J, I can see your saliva dripping from here." Beca remarked as she saw her best friend staring at her. Indeed, Jesse was taking in everything slowly. He always found Beca to be extremely pretty.
"Wow, B. I can leave Posen for you right now. Just say it, and I'm yours." Jesse said as he approached Beca to give her a hug.
"Hahaha. Funny, J. I know how you can be so scared of Aubrey. She has you whipped, man." Beca hit his best friend back. Jesse laughed because he knows it was true, but he meant it when he said that he can leave Aubrey for Beca right now.
"So, are you ready? They asked me to check on you. You're on in 5." Jesse held his best friend's shoulders to calm her down sensing her anxiousness.
"Yes. Yes. It's just an interview. I do hope there would be no intrigues though." Beca scoffed.
"Beca, you'll be fine out there. If ever I sense that you're already uncomfortable, I'll do something about it. You trust me, right? Besides, it's Ellen, dumbo. Ellen!" Jesse said as he tried his best to boost Beca's confidence.
Both were out of their conversation when a man from the set walked in on them and gave them his cue.
"Wow. That was 5 minutes already?" Beca was already freaking out. Jesse held Beca's hand and held them tightly while giving it a little squeeze.
"Becs, you'll be fine. Come on." Jesse pulled her out of the room and followed the man to the stage.
Beca was led to an area where she could wait for her name to be called. While waiting she can feel herself tense, hearing the sound of the people around her, and the audience who were excited to see her. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.
Ellen was already on stage to start her show. As usual, Ellen was being the happy person she is. When her show started, she chose to play one of Beca's mixes which made the crowd go wild. Ellen walked to her stage dancing to Beca's mix, and the crowd gladly joined her. The show was like a mini party, minus the dark room and club lights.
"Beca! Beca! Beca!" The audience were chanting as Ellen tried to calm them down.
"People, people, relax. The little one will show. She's here! I guess you can't wait, eh?" Ellen said as she cued for the background music to stop. She was also excited for this interview. She propped herself up on the stage and looked at the people happily.
"So, I assume everyone is here to see the small person with amazing hands, right?" Ellen asked.
The audience nodded, and some of them were holding signs which said:
"Beca, Marry Me!" "Beca, I love you!" "Beca, Blow me a kiss!"
Ellen noticed the signs and remarked at how silly they can be. The audience laughed along with her.
"I would like to keep you waiting, but it seems that I am that person who just can't wait! So you see, there are lots of people who wanted to get a piece of this short stuff. And I was so happy that she agreed to do her first interview with me. See, folks, I told you, I have magic. Beca Mitchell said yes to me." Ellen winked. The crowd laughed.
"Let's play her music once again, shall we? Stitches, please!" Stitches blasted through Ellen's studio, and as while the music started to play the first stanza…"Everyone, please welcome, the industry's hottedt DJ/ Producer, Beca Mitchell!"
As soon as Ellen said her name, Beca walked up on stage. Beca was greeted by loud chants from the crowd. The crowd was screaming her name! Beca couldn't help the big smile forming in her face. She looked at Jesse and he in turn, gave her an encouraging nod.
"Okay. Don't be a weirdo. Don't be a weirdo." She told herself as she sat opposite Ellen.
"Okay, Beca. Finally! How is the music business treating you so far?" Ellen asked.
"Great. It's a big thing for me to come up all the way here from Atlanta, you know? It's nice to see that people appreciate what you are making, it's heart warming." Beca answered.
"Yes. We love your music, I love your music. I mean who doesn't right?" Ellen asked the crowd. The crowd cheered on and Beca just laughed.
"See? Everyone loves you. Speaking of which…"
"Uh, oh. Is this the part where you put me in a hot seat?" Beca interrupted.
"Ha! Not really. But you're smokin' hot right now , and you're on a seat, that makes you in a hot seat." Ellen joked. Beca raised her hands in surrender knowing that she was already stuck in the moment and laughed with the audience.
"So, Beca Mitchell. Do you know this person?" Ellen asked as soon as a picture of Robbert van de Corput a.k.a. Hardwell flashed on Ellen's big screens in her studio. The crowd was cheering as soon as it was shown. Beca looked at the picture and she nodded yes.
"Yes. It's Rob, right? Hardwell?" Beca curiously stated.
"Oh. So you've met him already?"
"I did. Yes. Once. It was just an after party, and we just said a few words, it was a quick meeting and we told we would see each other in the Bacardi Tour happening days from now." Beca explained.
"So, there was a quick exchange. This explains Rob's tweet then." Ellen pointed to the screen and Robbert's tweet flashed for everyone to see.
" DjHardwell: Met my celebrity crush this evening, I was smitten. Nice to see you, DJBecaMitchell! #FanBoy #EnchantedToMeetYou J"
Beca was shy ann duried her face with her hands as the audience let out a couple of "Awwws." Ellen laughed at how Beca was blushing.
"Beca Mitchell is blushing, everyone!" Ellen greatly announced. The crowd and Jesse saw this and were continue teasing the closed off DJ.
"Okay, guys. I just don't know what to say. Rob is a good friend and a fellow DJ, so keep it down." Beca said defensively. Of course, Ellen did not let this pass.
"So you two are on first name basis now, eh?" Ellen grinned.
"Hey, it's normal. We know each other so…"
"Enough with the just friends. We're tired of hearing that already." Ellen laughed and the crowd became quiet again.
"But, Beca, you're successful with your career, you produce great music, you write amazing lyrics. Would someone like you invest in feelings?" Ellen asked. Beca shifted in her seat to prepare to answer her question.
"I'm not really great when it comes to feelings, you know. But once I open up to you, I'll give you everything I can. I'm a lot of work, Ellen. People around me know that, but I believe that if there's someone out there who would be willing to break down my walls, then why not?" Beca smirked.
The crowd cheered as Beca implied that she is already willing to invest in feelings. Her fans got the message of Beca and Shawn's song, Stitches and were making talks about her moving on from a person from her past who hurt her badly. Her fans were going wild, it was a nice sight to see their DJ happy once more.
"Oh. So there's a possibility then?" Ellen asked.
"Yes. Yes. I'm not closing my doors anyway, as I said, I'm open." Beca answered while making different hand gestures.
"Can that person be Robbert? He has a huge crush on you! And you'll be working together for the Bacardi Tour. Is it possible that both of you will make beautiful beats together?" Ellen grinned looking intently at Beca. Beca did not back down, and from looking at the audience, to Jesse, and finally to Ellen, she smiled.
"Well, we'll see how it goes. It's just a crush, everyone. But I can't say." Beca answered.
"Nice one, Beca! Let me be the first to know when RoBeca happens, alright? Beca Mitchell, everybody! Watch out for more music from her and catch her live on the Bacardi Tour! Thank you, Beca!"
"No problem, Ellen. Go easy on me next time. Thanks, guys!" Beca smiled and hugged Ellen and waved to fans.
The interview went well after all. The audience were excited to see the RoBeca team up happening soon and that got the #RoBeca trending immediately on social media. Which did not go unnoticed by a certain redhead in California.
