A/N: This is Beca's chapter and as the title implies… ;)
This, however, will be mainly focused on Beca and Chloe and some more Bechloe moments before important things happen.
I don't own pitch perfect.
"Don't go on the date." Beca said simply that Saturday morning, sitting on their bed looking at Chloe with pleading eyes.
"You know I have to Becs. The bid only goes to charity if we go on the thing." Chloe said as she got up.
"Maybe you can convince what's her name to just switch with me? Or you switch with some other girl? Or you know, pull some strings and not have to go on the date or anything but the money still goes to the good cause?"
"That's not how it works Beca." Chloe said, sitting down next to Beca and giving her a quick kiss on the cheeks. "I thought I've gotten you to mellow out about this already. What's gotten you so tense again?"
Beca sat silently for a minute and thought about it.
First, the thought of an upcoming event days away versus the thought of said inevitable upcoming event happening mere hours away were totally two different things.
Because with the mere hours away, it makes everything feel so real.
And all the nervousness and feelings - good or bad - come crashing back to you in a rather particularly strong wave that throws you completely off balance.
Second, the evidence of how romantic the date could go and what could possibly lead after.
And to that Beca had to make a face.
The memory still to fresh on her mind, forever burned in the retinas of her eyes.
Okay, maybe she was exaggerating the 'forever' part.
But it was still very recent to not let it affect her. After all, it only happened a few days ago.
"Well when Stace and Aubrey got back from their incredibly romantic date… well… let's just say I know what Aubrey felt when she almost walked in on us once. Worse is that I walked in on them in the elevator."
Chloe laughed a little. "I know, you told me that. But there is a difference Becs, you do know that right? Those two are together, I belong only to you. Body, heart, mind, and soul, and you know that. Now do you want a back rub or something, get you to mellow out a little?" she said rather flirtatious.
Yeah, see that was going to be a problem.
Beca hated the fact that Chloe's going to be all nice and friendly with her 'friend' in an incredibly romantic date – or so she's heard.
And no one in their right mind can ever resist falling for Chloe's heartwarming smile.
Her musical laugh.
Those charming eyes.
Making Beca even more irritable at the fact that she stupidly lost.
Of all the times to get distracted, it had to be that time.
It wasn't the losing that sucked.
That much, Beca could somehow deal with.
It's losing the date with Chloe that's gotten her so annoyed.
It's failing to defend Chloe.
That and she just couldn't take the thought of the girl who may or may not be Adrianne taking Chloe on said date would make a move on her.
Just, no.
It felt so so wrong.
Chloe nudged Beca again, repeating the offer with a mischievous smile.
"Chlo, we know that your back rubs usually end in…" Beca started to say before an idea popped into her head.
Desperate? Yes.
But brilliant enough.
"…on second thought yes, I would like a back rub. The whole day through maybe." she said with a smirk.
But to no avail.
Chloe chuckled. "Not falling for your cunning plan Mitchell." she said as she stood up again this time with a purpose to start the day.
"I should've been the one going with you on that date!" Beca grumbled just as Chloe walked out their room to prepare some breakfast.
Yeah, the whole day was going to suck.
And once again Beca thought if she'd only successfully proposed the first time…
…yeah, the thoughts weren't helping either.
And her research, promising at the start, only ended up being fruitless.
Bash had no luck with the USB and Lilly couldn't be reached.
Thane Lancaster also dropped all help.
So that was just that.
She was already looking forward to spending the most of the night alone in her apartment driving herself insane until Chloe gets back.
Because for whatever reason the Bellas were seemingly abandoning her ship.
Totally leaving her all alone with this.
And Jesse was being vague about things.
But of course Beca doesn't know that that wasn't actually the case.
"How will you two meet up anyways?" Beca asked during breakfast.
"She's picking me up here." was Chloe's simple reply.
"Perfect." Beca deadpanned.
Just perfect.
She'll have to witness the whole painstaking ordeal.
Or maybe it is perfect?
She could tail their car to the date…
…and make sure nothing else happens.
Beca trusts Chloe.
That's not even a question.
It's tall, charming, and rich she wasn't so sure about.
Chloe spent most of the day getting ready, alternating between teasing Beca and reassuring her.
And Beca spent most of the day trying to sabotage Chloe's routine of prepping up for a date.
Such as turning the tables around and hijacking Chloe in the shower.
It was her fault anyways, she made it so tempting.
After all, Chloe just had to be singing 'Titanium'.
The shower thing might've stalled Chloe for an hour and a half – that depends on whether or not she was anticipating Beca's attempts to stall her in the first place – but she was back on track like she was on a mission to go on that stupid date.
And Beca could tell Chloe was steadily getting nervous.
Which might have annoyed Beca a little, because why on earth would Chloe be nervous?
But she figured Chloe was just trying to settle her nerves, not knowing what to expect for the rest of the night.
And so Beca tried get Chloe forget about choosing an outfit and getting ready all over again.
But Chloe was definitely expecting it this time.
If anything, Beca could tell how good Chloe really is with people.
She was the greatest friend she could ever have. How she handles Aubrey is quite astounding too, especially when she was being unbearable.
All of her students loved her too.
And for the first time Beca couldn't help but think how amazing Chloe would be as a mom.
That's how Beca found herself falling in love with Chloe all over again for quite possibly the thousandth time.
As she was leaning by their doorway, watching as Chloe got ready.
Because if there's anything Beca could ever get tired of, it was watching Chloe in whatever it was that she was doing.
"Why on earth are you smirking at me know?" Chloe asked, looking at her girlfriend through the mirror of her dresser.
And Beca shrugged.
She had no words to say.
No cunning plan to distract her either.
Because Chloe was just too breathtakingly gorgeous at that moment.
But then the doorbell rang.
And the reality that Beca had to ensure watching Chloe leave on a date with someone else for charity came crashing back.
"Stay with me." Beca said, almost pleading.
"Beca, don't be ridiculous. I'm not leaving you." Chloe said. "If anything, I'll be coming home with you."
"With?" Beca asked suspiciously.
"I meant coming home to you." Chloe then said.
"Yeah, but you have to be home by 10 pm."
"You're giving me a curfew?" Chloe asked highly amused.
"Let's not drive me anymore insane than I already am." Beca replied.
But then she realized that if she was planning to tail them that she had to be back at home earlier than they would.
So she added, "I'll try to see what the Bellas are really up to, or Jess, so I don't completely go insane."
And Chloe chuckled.
Then the doorbell rang again.
"You should let her in Becs. I'll be done in a few."
Beca grunted. "Fine. But promise me you won't have fun."
And Chloe simply giggled.
A few days ago, Beca thought she was going to be all right.
And here she was trying to fight off the final wave of whatever madness - a little thing called jealousy - was taking over here.
This was going to be a long night.
