Okay, so I made you guys wait again and I'm so sorry! I've had a lot of personal things going on, and well, it's been really tough honestly.

I wanted to get something up for you this weekend, so I had originally planned for this chapter to be much longer, but I decided to break it into two parts. I also had originally planned for it to be a different person, but I decided to go with this one because I'm a huge fan personally. I will save the other one for a later chapter.

Also, Sendrick is together tonight at the WWE event - swoon!

Anyway, please enjoy. thank you so much for your support and feedback. You nerds are aca-awesome :)

Beca fidgeted at the doorstep, again. She'd never been the type to get like this, but Chloe still had that effect on her.

"What are you doing, weirdo? Creepin' on my doorstep?" Jesse said with a shove to her shoulder as he opened the door and ushered Beca inside.

Beca and Chloe had been texting and Beca had told her that she would just pick her up from Jesse and Aubrey's.

"Whatever, nerd. You didn't tell uh-you didn't tell Chloe who is coming in today, did you? It's supposed to be a surprise," Beca questioned. She was going to be so pissed if Jesse ruined this.

"Right. You think I'd tell her that and miss her epic freakout?" Jesse replied laughing. "Hey, Aubrey told me how much you helped yesterday with the dresses. Thank you for that Becs."

"Well, Aubrey's a liar. I hate dresses," Beca shrugged with a smirk as Billie approached her feet. Beca easily picked him up and began placing kisses all over his face.

"I think you secretly love all of this," Jesse grinned.

Beca's attention went to the redhead descending the steps; she looked amazing in a snug white tank top and frayed jeans. Beca's attention went to her chucks though, they matched hers. And that necklace.

"Your toner is showing, Mitchell," Jesse quietly spoke in Beca's ear.

Beca quickly delivered a hard punch to his arm, "Shut up Swanson."

"What are you two talking about?" Chloe said grinning and petting her dog that Beca was holding.

Beca spoke up before Jesse had the chance, "Nothing, just Jesse being an ass as usual. You ready to go?"

"Yup! So you aren't gonna give me a hint? Not even a little one?" Chloe said pouting as she grabbed her bag.

"Nuh-uh. My lips are sealed, Beale, you'll have to wait and see," Beca smiled.

"Uh, not fair!" Chloe said stomping her foot.

"Do you not want to go? I can certainly go by myself. I mean, they are waiting…" Beca grinned back smugly and put Billie back down.

"Oh no, I'm definitely coming," Chloe added opening the front door and walking through the front yard.

Beca couldn't help but nearly melting in a puddle at Chloe's excitement.

"Jess, you meeting us there in a bit?" Beca asked turning around to ask Jesse.

"Yup, just need to return some more calls and make my adorable fiancée some lunch," Jesse said leaning over to kiss Aubrey.

"Gag," Beca rolled her eyes in fake annoyance.

"Oh, Beca – they are adorable!" Chloe said swatting Beca's arm with a gleaming smile on her face.

"You two have fun, bring Chloe back in one piece please," Aubrey said pointing at Beca.

"I make no promises to you," Beca coyly replied walking towards her car.

"Ho-Holy shit. Is this your car?" Chloe said in disbelief. Beca was walking towards a silver Audi R8. The car was incredibly sexy.

"Do you want to drive it?" Beca shrugged, attempting to throw Chloe the keys.

"Wha-what? I can't drive this car! Oh my god!" Chloe said eyes still locked onto the beautiful car.

"It's my fun car, I only bring it out for special occasions," Beca motioned towards the car again, trying to get Chloe to drive.

"You-you're serious? I can drive this? You want me to drive?" Chloe said dumbfounded.

"Why not? It's a stick though, so don't throw me on the floor, I'm tiny," Beca said getting in the passenger seat.

It was a rare sight to see Chloe nervous, but the redhead was fidgeting with getting the keys in the ignition and her palms were shaking.

Beca chuckled a bit as she leaned over to put her hand on Chloe's thigh without thought and reached to still her hand.

"Chlo, breathe. It's fine, it's just a car."

"Yeah! Okay. Right! Just a car. This car is so hot, Beca, and it's probably like four times the amount of what I make in a YEAR," Chloe said turning to look at Beca and the placement of her hand. Chloe suddenly felt tingly and excited all over.

"Hot, huh?" Beca nodded in disbelief, "It's just a car, Chloe. Now come on, we gotta be at the studio to meet this surprise guest so let's go."

Chloe felt cold again as soon as Beca removed her hand and nodded as she started the engine and put it in first gear.

Beca had to admit, she never knew watching Chloe drive with her tan skin and the top down with her aviator sunglasses would be so… thrilling.

Sexy….

A turn on.

"I can't believe you had to see me driving my jeep yesterday when you're rolling in this," Chloe put her hands to her head in embarrassment as they parked at the studio.

"Hey! I love that Jeep!" Beca chided as they walked towards the studio and stepped inside.

"What's up bitches!" Amy greeted.

"Amy, I told you! Stop greeting people like that, you're going to make me lose business," Beca warned.

"Yeah, right. It's just you two and besides I bring you the business shortstack, you know I'm the eye candy around here," Fat Amy said gesturing to her body.

"Anddddd, here we go…" Beca rolled her eyes. "Amy, are they here yet or not?" Beca said grabbing her folder of paperwork from the desk.

"Hey gingersnap – were you driving the Audi?" Amy questioned looking at the keys in Chloe's hand, completely ignoring Beca's question.

"AMY!" Beca huffed. She knew where this was going…

"Uh huh, that car is so sexy," Chloe said smiling brightly.

"Interestingggg…." Amy said rubbing her chin to look at Beca.

"Do not give me that look! I know that look!" Beca pointed at her and gestured to Chloe that they should go to the back.

"What's the look?" Chloe laughed hesitantly, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Well, red. This would be the look of confusion," Amy began following Beca and Chloe through the large studio.

"Amy, don't you like have to make calls or something? Go back up front and do the job I pay you for, will ya? Beca pleaded.

"I've tried to drive that car…. Mmmmmm…. I don't know….. maybe a thousand times? Yeah. At least a thousand. I was told I wasn't even allowed to look at the thing. That car is Beca's baby," Amy said to Chloe.

This all amused Chloe to no end and she couldn't keep the smirk off her face if she tried. Beca had offered for her to drive without even asking.

"Amy, need I remind you of your driving record?" Beca pointed out entering the room they would be recording in today.

"So I got a few traffic violations, what's the big deal?" Amy shrugged.

"A few? Try fourteen, THAT'S why you can't drive my car," Beca said pulling out a chair for Chloe and cueing up her equipment.

"Well, what about that time you wouldn't let me drive you home when you were piss drunk? Remember that was Missy Elliot's Summer Fiesta? You made us walk three miles, and you passed out and I had to carry your skinny ass the last mile of it because you hid your keys," Amy mentioned.

"Point made, you can go now!" Beca said turning completely red.

"Whatever, you know I hate cardio!" Amy retorted.

"That wasn't even cardio! It was walking!" Beca replied, her face still red in embarrassment.

"You two are something else," Chloe chuckled. She was so touched she got to drive Beca's car, it was clearly important to her.

"Let me know when they get here, Amy," Beca motioned towards the door.

"This isn't over, shorty!" Amy gestured to Chloe and back at Beca.

"I'm sure it isn't," Beca sighed, grabbing some coffee from the Keurig machine set up in the studio. "Want some?" Beca said to Chloe in regards to the coffee.

"Yes, please," Chloe nodded in her chair. "So, no one can drive your precious baby huh?" Chloe asked smiling ear-to-ear.

"I-uh-well. I guess I've never let anyone drive it before, you're a first," Beca said handing Chloe her coffee with two creamers.

"Thank you," Chloe replied grabbing the beverage, "And I'm a first huh?" She was intrigued and she loved the fact that Beca remembered she used two creams in her coffee.

"You were the first for a lot of things," Beca said connecting with Chloe's blue eyes.

"Beca, I…." Chloe started, but was interrupted by Amy's voice coming through the intercom.

"Hey shorty – your surprise guest is here! Want me to send him back?" Amy's voice rang through.

Beca reached for the microphone button to respond to her, "Yeah, Amy. Send him back, please."

"Okay – so it's a him?" Chloe prodded. This mystery was driving her crazy, Chloe hated surprises.

"You're totally gonna hate me so much," Beca said grinning. She couldn't wait to see Chloe's face when he walked through the door. Chloe was going to flip her shit.

Beca would be glad to add a little joy to Chloe's life. No one deserved it more than the redhead and she was happy to be able to give her a piece of happiness, especially after knowing she had caused her pain.

It was one small attempt at trying to make things right again. It'd be a long journey, but Beca had something to prove to her.

"I could never hate you, you weirdo. Unless it's like... Chri-" Chloe stopped mid-sentence as Chris Carrabba from Dashboard Confessional walked through the studio door smiling at Beca.

"Oh-oh-oh my God…. OH MY GOD! Your Chris… Chris Carrabba!" Chloe said squealing and jumping up and down slightly. Beca quickly took the coffee in Chloe's hand, scared it was going to go all over her equipment. Chloe grabbed Beca's wrist, "Becs! That's Chris Carrabba!"

"I know silly, who do you think invited him here?" Beca replied in amusement.

"You don't even understand how much I love your music, it's like changed my life and I just love you! I saw you in concert like six years ago; I didn't know you were back in the studio – oh my god!" Chloe rambled in one giant sentence.

"Chlo, breathe. Take a breath," Beca laughed. She knew how obsessed with Dashboard Confessional Chloe was. She had listened to all their albums no less than two hundred times just hanging out with Chloe in her apartment. She'd been working with Chris the past month on the Dashboard acoustic album and she was so excited to get to share this with Chloe.

"She's everything you said she was, Bec!" Chris said punching her in the arm lightly.

"What did she say I was?" Chloe asked, turning her attention to Beca.

"I said you were probably the biggest Dashboard fan, like ever," Beca laughed.

"I think we've already established, but I'm Chris," Chris said turning to Chloe.

"I-I'm Chloe," Chloe contemplated her next move. But as she thought about it, she didn't know when she would have the opportunity again so she jumped up and hugged him tightly.

"Wow, she's pretty friendly, Bec," Chris said laughing and hugging the redhead in his arms back.

"She never was one for boundaries," Beca replied, leaning against the equipment.

"I'm excited to be working with you today," Chris said as Chloe pulled away from him.

"Wha-what?" Chloe nodded her head in disbelief.

"You didn't tell her Beca?!" Chris said turning to face the brunette who just shrugged her shoulders in amusement.

"Wait-what?" Chloe asked, still confused. She was literally bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"Well, I didn't want to tell you in advance because I knew how freaked out you'd get… And I figured that once you were here, you wouldn't be able to say no. So, what do you think about recording with him today? You'll already know the song," Beca mused.

Chloe's eyes shifted between Beca and Chris trying to see if this was the world's biggest prank, "You're serious?"

"Dixie-chick serious," Beca replied with a wink remembering Aubrey's words from college.

"You-you can't do this to me, Beca! I haven't practiced, I'm not ready," Chloe began pacing the floor. Beca wanted HER to record with her all-time favorite singer, it was all a little much and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

"You're ready, Chloe," Beca said grabbing her shoulders and stilling her movements.

"This song isn't usually a duet, but Beca thought it'd be cool to have a female singer on the track, so what do you say? You up for it?" Chris asked.

"Hell yes!" Chloe said jumping into the recording room. Beca knew Chloe would be on board, she didn't even know what song it was and she was already ready to go.

"You were right Beca, she's something else," Chris said pointing to Chloe with a smile, "She's super cute, too." Chris added as he followed Chloe into the room.

Beca's stomach turned in uneasiness.

Maybe this wasn't a good idea…

Read and review? Pretty please? I would give all of you warm cookies from the oven if I could.
