Thanks everyone for so many positive reviews! I know what I said had a catch 22 chance of succeeding and it looks like it did, and I am so happy for that. So thanks again everyone and enjoy the next chapter!

Chapter 11

The rest of the night went rather uneventful. Beca found none of the other team members worth saving. Crystal went to Usher's team, and she was better than his two other singers that went on that night. Usher had two guys named Dylan and Mason sing Good Riddance by Green Day and Dylan prevailed in that battle. Mason had trouble hitting some of the high notes, which led to his loss. Blake featured a matchup of Helen and Lauren, who had them sing Let it Go, ironically. Lauren won the battle and Helen ended up getting cut. Mason and Helen were not saved by any of the other mentors, so they left the show. The last duo of the night from Adam's team was Josh verses Brenda. He had them sing A Thousand Years, which brought back fond memories for Beca because that is what Jesse sang to her during their wedding reception. Josh edged Brenda in that battle, but Brenda was saved by Blake.

"Alright everyone," Usher said after the end of the battle round. "Beca and Adam's team has been reduced to seven people, while Blake and I picked up two more members to keep our total at eight. Blake and I have also used one of our saves which leaves us with only one save left while Beca and Adam still have two. Join us tomorrow for another battle round!"

The crowd started cheering and Beca stood up and waved to the crowd as the broadcast ended. She started making her way towards backstage to her dressing room where Jesse would be waiting for her. She passed Crystal and Susan on the way there and gave Crystal a big hug and assured her that there were no hard feelings. She finally got back to her dressing room to find Jesse sitting on the couch, phone in hand.

"I don't remember giving you a key," Beca announced as she walked into the room.

Jesse looked up and gave her an eager smile, "You'll never guess what I just saw."

Beca sat down at her makeup station and started wiping off the stage makeup she had to put on.

"Your beautiful wife on a very popular TV show," Beca said.

"Well, yes," Jesse said. "But not what I'm talking about."

"Well what then?" Beca said with a smile.

"So, Chloe and Benji have been chatting a lot for the last week ever since they met at lunch right?" Jesse said.

"Yeah," Beca said. "I've noticed Chloe checking her phone a lot."

"Well we came to the show together tonight," Jesse said. "And after the end, they took off real quick. I didn't know what they were doing, so I just walked to your dressing room and figured they would catch up eventually. But, when I walked around a corner to the shortcut to get here, I found them making out in that dark hallway."

Beca dropped her makeup brush and her mouth opened up wide. She wheeled around and stared at Jesse.

"Benji and Chloe?" Beca practically yelled. "But how?"

"I have no idea," Jesse said. "I didn't think she swung that way."

"Well she obviously does," Beca said. "I have to find out more about this."

"You don't tell her that I saw them though," Jesse said. "I don't want to come off as a pervert."

"My lips are sealed," Beca said.

"Well," Jesse said with a smile. "Can they wait for a little."

He moved towards Beca and leaned down to give her a kiss. Beca melted into him and when they pulled away, she gave a coy smile.

"I think that can be arranged," Beca said.

Later that night, 3 am

Beca woke up to her phone ringing on the side table. She groaned and checked to see who was calling.

"I'm going to kill her," she grumbled as Jesse chuckled next to her.

"God help her," he said, sleepily and rolled over.

"Hello?" Beca said and rubbed her eyes.

"Beca," Chloe said into the phone, clearly awake.

"Yes," Beca said. "This is my phone, you have the number."

"I have to tell you something," Chloe said.

"Chloe it's 3 am," Beca said. "Can't it wait until morning?"

"Absolutely not," Chloe said.

"Have you ever heard the warning about not pissing off a pregnant woman?" Beca said, with a little more frustration.

"Yes, but that's not important," Chloe said. "I need some girl help here."

"Chloe," Beca said, starting to walking out of her bedroom to not disturb Jesse. "You know that I have never been a girl that has done that girl talk well. You knew me through college, haven't changed all that much."

"Beg to differ," Chloe said. "And you have to hear this."

"Fine," Beca said, reaching the living room and laying down on the couch. "What?"

"Benji and I hooked up," Chloe said, sounding nervous.

"That's what you called about?" Beca asked. "That you hooked up with a guy."

"Well it's Benji," Chloe defended.

"So," Beca said. "He is a great guy. Plus, I already knew you made out at The Voice show tonight."

"What?" Chloe asked, astonished. "How?"

"Jesse saw you guys and told me," Beca said through a yawn. "Can I go back to bed now?"

"No," Chloe said firmly. "Do you think that it was a good idea?"

"Look Chloe," Beca said. "Personally, I'm happy that you moved on. You were holding that crush for at least six years, maybe longer. You just make sure that this isn't a rebound from my rejection, because that would be really bad for your health. I love Benji like a brother and he is Jesse's best friend. And while it won't hurt you on the show, I have been known to hold grudges when I sign people to my record label."

"Okay," Chloe. "But-."

"CHLOE," Beca said firmly. "Come to my studio tomorrow at one. We can talk then. But I'm going to bed now."

"Beca wait-," Chloe began before Beca cut her off by hanging up the phone.

Beca sighed and began the long walk to her bed. When she finally got there, Jesse wrapped her in his arms and she laid her head on his chest, soaking up his warmth.

"What was that about?" Jesse asked sleepily.

"Chloe hooked up with Benji," Beca said and she heard Jesse chuckle.

"Well, saw that coming," Jesse said. "She called just to tell you that and not just text that she wanted to talk later?"

"It's a girl thing," Beca said, closing her eyes.

"Must be," Jesse said and then his phone started ringing.

Beca's eyes opened and she smiled up at Jesse. He reached over and looked at the caller ID and said, "for fuck's sake."

Beca laughed and said, "You better answer that."

Jesse just shut off his phone, silencing the noise.

"You're not going to answer it?" Beca asked, settling back into her original position laying on his chest.

"It's a guy thing," Jesse said, wrapping up Beca and falling asleep.

Flashlight Records, 1 pm

Beca was sitting in her office, shuffling through some files about random things going on in her record label. A few of her producers were working on other album deals with other smaller artists, so she was looking at their progress. Also, it was about time to hire some more interns, and Beca was going over the resumes. Normally, she would have someone else do this, but every once in awhile, she liked to go over them herself. She knew how important an internship could help propel their careers in the future. There was also one more document about a proposal for opening a sister studio in New York. Beca was for it, the only problem was finding out who would be in charge at that studio. It would be a smaller studio, only about three producers there top, plus the head. She was reading over potential candidates when she heard her phone ring.

"Beca Swanson," she responded as she answered the phone.

"Mrs. Swanson," Michelle, her secretary said. "There is a Chloe Beale here to see you."

"Oh great," Beca said. "Send her in."

A few seconds later the door opened and Chloe walked into Beca's office.

"Hey," Beca said, starting to look over the papers again.

"Hey," Chloe responded and sat on a chair in front of her desk.

Beca glanced up and smirked. Chloe was sitting with perfect posture, casually looking around the room with a nervous look on her face. Beca looked back down and started to put the papers back in their folders, putting away work for now.

"You're not in an interview, you know," Beca said and she saw Chloe blush and relax a little. "Spill dude, what's going on."

"Okay," Chloe said, standing up like she always did when she was about to make a big speech. "But can you act like a girl for once."

Beca rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair. "'Kay," she said, in her best girly-girl voice and twirling a strand of her hair around her finger.

Chloe took a deep breath and started her speech. "Okay, so Benji and I have been talking a lot lately. After we met again at the little diner a couple weeks ago, we exchanged numbers and started talking and texting daily. Last night on the show, I realised that I wanted a relationship with him. That song A Thousand Years really got me thinking. So, after the show, I got out quick with Benji to ditch Jesse. As we got to the hallway, I looked at Benji and he started stuttering. I think he was trying to ask me out, but couldn't get the words out. So, I kissed him. One thing led to another, and we hooked up."

Chloe stopped and looked at Beca, expecting to see a shocked look on her face. Instead, she saw, an almost bored look on her face.

"Oh," Beca said. "Are you done?"

"Beca," Chloe whined.

"What?" Beca responded. "You started talking with a guy, wanted to go out with him, and hooked up. I don't see what the problem is, you've done it before."

"But it's Benji," Chloe said, sitting back down on the chair.

"Yeah, you told me that earlier this morning," Beca growled, and noticing Chloe's annoyed look, changed her tone. "Look, I-."

Beca was cut off by her phone ringing on her desk. Chloe and Beca both looked at the phone and Beca sighed as she picked it up.

"Beca Swanson," Beca started. "Gabriel, how are you doing? Yes, I am aware about your proposal. No, I'm not going to change my mind. I know that Nikki has wanted to do an album with me for a while and I do appreciate that, but I'm still going to say no. Why? I don't like the way she presents herself in her music videos. What do you mean Katy Perry does the same thing? She hasn't under my direction. It doesn't matter what was in the past, she has a great voice. Nikki does too, of course, but Katy never did a video like Anaconda. Listen Gabriel, I'm in a meeting right now. I'm sure another company would sign Nikki. Okay, bye-bye."

Beca almost slammed the phone down and she looked up at Chloe. Chloe had her eyebrows raised and Beca leaned back in her chair.

"Now," Beca started before Chloe cut her off.

"No, no, no," Chloe said. "Was that Nikki Minaj's agent?"

"Yeah," Beca said. "Wanted to do a album, I said no. End of discussion."

"Why?" Chloe said. "That would make you a lot of money."

"Like I said," Beca said. "I don't like the way she was presenting her body."

"Katy Perry does show a lot of skin," Chloe said.

"There is one thing about presenting you body in an enticing way," Beca said. "It is another to flaunt it around for everyone to see, now do you want my advice or not?"

Chloe nodded and Beca continued.

"Benji is a great guy. I love Emily to death, but that is a big mistake she made, breaking up with him. He will give you all the affection and love that you want. He will do just about anything for his girl, and you are very lucky to have him."

Chloe smiled and Beca returned the smile.

"Now," Beca said. "I'm craving a red-velvet cupcake. Let's go get a baker's dozen."

Beca started to walk out of the room and Chloe walked behind her, laughing on the way out.

A/N

There it is, the latest installment

Well, Chloe has a new love interest in her life, and she has finally moved on from Beca. I didn't know if I would ship Benji and Chloe in this fanfic, but as I was writing, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea, certainly an interesting choice for both. Let me know in the reviews if you like or hate this new ship!

As always I do not own any of the music or characters
