Author's Notes: Wow! Some very mixed responds to the last chapter hahaha. So before we begin, I'll just clear a few things up 1. Yes, it's still a Bechloe story, I love a good twist, but I'm not that mean 2. Chloe will be back, it's a very long story, so be patient and 3. To the person who has been posting the same comment in the guest reviews over and over, Bro, I see you and I fully understand how plot twists work. If you didn't like it, than it worked. You're not going to like them all. Hahaha Ok, now that we've cleared that up, lets us move on to the next chapter!
After the show had ended, the trio walked through the city towards the girl's hotel. Benji had offered to walk them back, since he already lived in the city and knew it quite well. Beca was quiet most of the way, she still hadn't made up her mind whether she would meet Luisa or not. Beca hadn't felt this anxious since she told Chloe about her picture.
'That turned out ok, why wouldn't this?' Beca reasons with herself.
Beca just couldn't help but remember the last time that she and Luisa were really alone together. The thought of it makes her blush heavily. The memory still cropped up in her dreams from time to time. It was still one of the sexiest things that ever happened to her.
Teenage Beca was packing up her camera gear and her scattered pictures in the photo lab. She couldn't believe she had just graduated. Little Beca Mitchell, a high school graduate. Not to mention she had been accepted into NYIP. Beca couldn't have been more excited. Stacey's Mum was taking her, Stacey and a few of their friends to go celebrate tonight, because Stacie got accepted into a great college too. Both in New York, they were going to live together in the city. Beca could finally get out her mum's hair, and spread her photos out and show them off by hanging them on her walls. It was a dream come true.
Beca hums to herself, happily packing her camera bag, not noticing the door opening.
"That is a familiar tune."
Beca jumps and spins around, nearly dropping the camera lens in her hand.
"Luisa!" She gasps, now incredibly nervous.
"Hallo tiny maus, what a pretty tune you are humming." She gives Beca a toothy grin, causing Beca's heart to pound.
"I..I…" Beca stutters, her brain buzzing with very confusing emotions.
"Is that one of the songs that I sing?" Luisa steps closer to Beca, making Beca's heart race.
"I..I..don't know…it's j..just always stuck in m..my head." Beca says, desperate to form words.
Beca backs up towards the table near the wall, putting her lens down.
Luisa steps closer, walking slowly, making Beca feel like she was Luisa's prey.
"I will be leaving for Germany tonight. Will you miss me, meine maus?" Luisa asks, tilting her head, giving Beca an intense gaze.
Beca suddenly hits the wall, she couldn't back up any further. She didn't know what to do now, she was using all her mental strength not blurt out how beautiful Luisa smelt at this moment.
"No? You're not going to miss me?" Luisa pouts, now in reaching distance of Beca, "I'm going to miss you, and all of those wunderbar and verrückt things you shout at me."
"I don't mean too… m..my brain..sometimes forgets t..t..to think." Beca trembles, as she leans against the wall, trying to find her way out before she passes out.
Luisa reaches Beca and places a hand beside her head, leaning against the wall. She looks deep into Beca's eyes, giving her a little smirk.
"Does that mean you don't like me.." Luisa leans in close to Beca's face and whispers, "..the way I like you?"
Beca's eyes widen in surprise as Luisa captures her lips in one swift motion. Beca feels a very soft hand clutch the small of her back, lifting her up. Luisa deepens the kiss as she lifts Beca up into her arms. The kiss was urgent, Luisa knew that someone could walk in at anytime, but she would never get another chance. Still in her arms, Luisa pushes her against the wall, pinning Beca. She runs her hand through Beca's hair, pulling it slightly to make Beca moan. Both girls relished in the feeling of the others lips as they moved with each other. Beca felt dizzy, by the smell of cinnamon and by the many emotions that were raging through her. She had never felt like this before, no kiss she had ever had, had ever felt like this. Beca reaches out cups Luisa's face, drawing her closer, Luisa responding in turn, nipping at Beca's lip and making her beg for more.
"Hey Beca, can you hurry up? Mum wants to get to the restaurant early to get the afternoon sp…" Stacey says, walking in, but stops dead in her tracks, "HOLY SHIT!"
The two girls pull apart, Luisa putting Beca's feet back on the ground. Luisa regains her composure immediately but Beca slides down the wall to the floor. Luisa smirks lovingly at her, she was truly going to miss her tiny maus.
"Auf Wiedersehen, meine tiny maus! Until we meet again." Luisa purrs, before strutting away, only waving at a slack jawed Stacey as she went.
"Beca…are you alive?" A shocked Stacey asks, watching the the German walk out of sight.
"I don't know…" Beca mutters, still in a puddle on the floor.
"We're here!" Benji, announces.
Beca had zoned out for a while, remembering that time in her photo lab. She hadn't noticed that they had changed directions. Beca was just mindlessly following Emily and Benji and is now very surprised (and annoyed) at where they ended up.
"Wait…this isn't our hotel.." Beca begins to panic as she realises that she was at the café Luisa wanted to meet at.
"Don't freak out, but we took a detour." Emily says, sounding extremely guilty.
"Are you kidding me?" Beca snaps, at her two friends.
"Hey, this is on you." Benji says, sassily, "You didn't even notice we were walking this way, we even tried telling you, but you weren't listening either."
"I hate both of you!" Beca glares, at her friends, "We are leaving bef…"
Beca never got to finish that sentence as she sees a blonde vision walking out of the café, giving Beca a smile that made her knees weak. There was no running now, the decision was made for her, she was going to have to talk to her now.
"Good evening, I'm glad you are here." Luisa says, directing her attention to Beca.
Luisa really takes Beca in, she had changed so much. No more buttons in her ears or bad eyeliner or clothes that were just a little too big for her. Beca had tight black skinny jeans on, with a basic light grey tee and a black leather jacket. Her make up was simple, with an expertly done winged liner. To Luisa, she was a sight to behold.
"Du siehst so lecker aus, ich könnte dich hier essen!" Luisa mutters, huskily, not concerned about Beca's two friends.
"Oh my stars!" Emily gasps, seemingly the only one who understood what Luisa said.
Luisa looks at Emily, though she doesn't seem too concerned, she just looks a little surprised that the young woman seemed to understand her. She looks to Beca for an answer.
Beca realises Luisa must have said something very odd or kinda dirty, because she had never seen Emily blush quite this hard before.
"Oh, um.. Emily is my translator. She would have understood what you just said." Beca says, awkwardly, starting to wonder if she really wanted to know what she said or not.
Luisa smirks at Emily, "Would you like to translate that for her?"
Emily's eyes widen in shock, "I can't say that to her, she's my boss!"
"Would you like me to say something different for you to translate than?" Luisa smirks, raising her eyebrows suggestively.
"No thank you!" Emily squeaks, her face going even redder.
Benji and Beca both look at Emily, who now has changed her mind on this idea and is now very aware of why Beca was so nervous.
She turns to Beca, "We can run, I have long legs, I'll carry you. Just say the word."
Beca looks back to Luisa, she could see how much fun Luisa was having tormenting Emily, but in the light of the café and the street lights, she didn't seem so scary and intimating anymore.
"Ah..it's ok…Benj will take you back to the hotel and I'll see you back there later." Beca says, really making her decision.
Although, Benji was starting to get comfortable around Emily, he had completely over looked the fact that he would be alone with her once they brought Beca here. He nodded nervously at Beca, assuring Beca he would take Emily back. Emily gives Luisa a hard look, looking right into her ocean blue eyes.
"If I see a single bite mark on her, there'll be trouble." She warns, making Luisa giggle.
"Ich werde mehr tun als beißen, glauben Sie mir." Luisa says, sweetly, giving Emily a beautiful smile.
"Oh my god!" Emily gasps in audible whisper, quickly walking away.
"Ah…" Benji says, confused watching Emily walk away blushing all the way down her neck, "Well..Have fun."
He hastens after Emily, given Beca a fleeting glance over his shoulder as he goes.
Luisa and Beca watch them walk away. Luisa smirking, it had been a while since she had messed with someone that innocent, she thoroughly enjoyed it. Beca on the other hand was very confused at what just happened.
"Well, I have no idea what just happened, but still not the strangest situation I've had with you." Beca admits, looking at Luisa.
Luisa grins at Beca, "Would you like to know what I said?"
"Nope!" Beca says, simply, walking into the café.
The two women walk into the café, sitting in a secluded booth in the back. Finally up close Beca could see the Luisa hadn't changed much over the years. If anything she had gotten more beautiful. She still had heavy sexual energy that surrounded her, making Beca squirm a little.
They sit in silence for a bit, a lot of unsaid things hung in the air.
"How have you been, maus?" Luisa asks, breaking the silence.
"Um..good.. you know, working..a lot." Beca says, breathing through the intense gaze Luisa was giving her.
"Yes, I have seen your recent work. Your pictures have gotten better." Luisa smiles, leaning her chin in her hand.
Beca blushes, "Thank you."
Luisa feels her heart races a little at the sight of the blushing Beca, she had always hoped that they would see each other again. They left things unfinished, something that never sat well with her.
"How is your pretty girlfriend? The red headed one?" She asks, scoping out her competition.
"Wow! Just right to it, huh?" Beca asks, startled by the sudden subject changed.
Beca's guilty feelings return in ten fold, the thought of Chloe floods her mind. Beca takes a deep breath, trying to remember that she wasn't doing anything wrong. She and Chloe aren't together anymore and she was just talking with Luisa.
"Um..We are on a break while I'm in London working." Beca says, with a sad sigh, trying to ignore Luisa giving her a playful smile.
"I see, I'm sorry to hear that." Luisa says, sounding like she wasn't sorry in the slightest.
"I'm sure you are." Beca shakes her head, smirking in spite of herself.
Luisa giggles, "Well, I think I made my feelings clear the last time we met."
Beca blushes, letting out a shaky laugh. Though Beca still wasn't sure if her feelings were ones of love or lust.
Beca wasn't sure she wanted to stay on that subject. She didn't feel like staying a shade of red the whole time they were talking.
"How's the singing going?" Beca ask, remembering Luisa wanted to be a singer full time, "I thought you'd be super famous by now."
Luisa sighs, "Life moves on, maus. I still sing, here and there, mostly for fun."
Beca frowns, "What do you do for a living?"
Luisa smirks, "I'm a model now."
"Of course you are." Beca groans, at the beautiful woman.
Because if the tall beautiful blonde wasn't a singer, of course the only other option for her would be a model.
'How ironic it is that I'm a photographer and she's a freaking model!' Beca thinks to herself.
Luisa lets out a melodic laugh, "Maybe you could photograph me one day."
She winks at Beca, making her laugh. Both women start laughing together, feeling a lot of the odd tension between them evaporate. As nervous as Beca had been since the second she laid eyes on Luisa, she was starting to realise that they had grown up a lot and she could handle anything that Luisa could throw at her.
…
Beca was wrong, very, very wrong, she couldn't handle what Luisa threw at her and boy, did she throw everything at her. Beca stresses as she walks through the empty early morning streets of Amsterdam, still in the clothes for the night before. Even though she looked as calm as someone who was simply going on an early morning walk, Beca was having a complete meltdown on the inside. The thought of the events from last night still fresh in her memory, Beca groans at herself, what did she do?
'Why did I think I could handle Luisa? I can't even handle general flirting, let alone a German model!' Beca thinks to herself, clutching her head desperately, 'Why did you think you could just talk to her?'
Beca needed to talk to someone, before she let her anxiety completely take her over. She pulls out her phone and calls Stacie. She knew it would be very late in the evening, but she needed the advice of her best friend.
"Beca! How are you? Where are you?" Stacey exclaims, as she answers the phone.
"Stacie…" Beca says, sounding extremely stressed, "I did something."
The tone of Beca's voice makes Stacie stop what she was doing, now very concerned. Beca could hear Stacie get up and shut her door.
"Bec…if you've killed someone…I can't help you…I'm too far away…" She says in a hurried whisper.
Beca groans, "No Stacie.."
"Call Amy, she has people everywhere. We can sneak you back into America." Stacie continues to whisper.
"Stacie! I didn't kill anyone!" Beca says, loudly, causing a passing couple to look at her with concern, Beca gives them a hurried smile, "Goedemorgen!"
"Jesus Stacie!" Beca groans, "I did something else, something I'm not sure if I'm going to regret or not. And why was your first thought that I killed someone?"
"Well..I mean, you're not always great with people Bec." Stacie says, happy to know Beca didn't kill anyone, "Ok, well that's the worst thing I can think of, so whatever you did can't be that bad."
Beca wasn't sure she agreed, because she still felt very conflicted.
"I went home with someone last night." Beca says, not saying who just yet.
"Oh yeah? What did you's do?" Stacie asks, not cottoning on to what Beca was saying, due to her lack of sexual prowess.
"What do you mean, what did we do? What do you think we did? Look at a stamp collection?" Beca exclaims, annoyed, "I slept with someone."
"Like you guys fell asleep together?" Stacie asks, knowing it would annoy Beca immensely.
"Jesus Christ! Why did I call you?" Beca mutters, cranky.
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry." Stacie laughs, heartily, "So, who is this sexy stranger? What did she look like? Did she have a sexy accent? Ohhh was she Swedish?"
The flood of questions made Beca nauseous, finding it hard to even form the words.
"She wasn't a stranger. In fact, we both know her." Beca says, almost in a whisper.
"Really? Where did you meet her?" Stacie asks, now very intrigued.
"I saw her in Amsterdam, that's where I am at the moment." Beca says, keeping her voice hushed as she makes her way back to her hotel.
"Ohhh Beca, did you find yourself a woman of the night?" Stacie jokes, sniggering.
"Why the fuck did I call you?" Beca groans, regretting this call more than the night before.
"Bec, but we don't know anyone from Amsterdam." Stacie says, laughing a little, but being a little serious because Beca may very well hang up.
"Well, obviously she's not from Amsterdam. But she's from surrounding areas." Beca mutters, walking past several people on their morning bike ride.
"Wait…" Stacie's big brain goes into overdrive as her geometry comes back to her as she starts to remember the countries surrounding The Netherlands, "Oh My God! Please tell me it's not who I think it is?"
"I slept with Luisa." Beca mutters, down the phone.
There was a moment's silence where Stacie's suspicions were confirmed. She was so stunned that she had no words. Beca starts to get worried, before Stacie lets out an almighty cheer.
"WOOOOOOOOOOO!" She shouts, excitedly, startling Beca as she pulls the phone away from her ear.
Beca hears Stacie's door opens, "No..no.. I'm fine, just someone from work… New chemical reaction worked… yep very exciting…"
"Oh god! Was that Chloe?" Beca says, racked with guilt.
"Its fine, she's gone. Beca! This is incredible!" She whispers, excitedly, "Teenage Beca will be having a friggen field day!"
"Stacie! This is a problem!" Beca moans, felling awful.
"Why?" Stacie asks, but see the shadow of Chloe's feet walk past her room again, "Oh Beca..It's been 5 months, you're allowed to see other people."
"Yeah, but it was Luisa!" Beca cries, thinking if it was anyone else she wouldn't feel so awful
Stacie could understand how Beca was feeling, it must be really hard for her. She and Chloe have barely spoken and they seem to be drifting apart. She knew that they were just going through a hard time being away from each other. They just needed to adjust.
"Bec, you didn't do anything wrong. I know you and Chloe will be together one day, but you haven't even turned 25 yet. Live your life!"
It finally clicked to Beca, she was really young. She had so much of her life ahead of her, and she may have always wondered what if, if she didn't go back with Luisa. Beca sighs, letting herself calm down. She sits down by the canal looking at the pretty house boats.
"So, I'm just overreacting?" Beca asks, just needing reassurance from her best friend.
"Totally! I mean, we can't expect you to go two years without sex. Like that's just fucking crazy!" Stacie says, scoffing, like abstaining from sex for that long was craziest thing she could think of.
Beca rolls her eyes, and sighs, "I meant about Luisa?"
"Oh, yeah. You're totally overreacting about that, it's not that bad. It's not like you're going to start dating her." Stacie snorts, "Wait…you aren't going to start dating her…right?"
"No, I haven't made a plan to see her again." Beca answers, truthfully.
"That's good, I mean she's probably really great, but I never saw you ending up with her." Stacie remarks.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, I mean, you guys had like an intense attraction, but I think that's all it was." Stacie explains her thoughts.
Beca wonders, last night felt different than she would normally. It was fun and extremely satisfying, but if she thinks about it, there wasn't a connection like she had with Chloe. There was no deep yearning desire or deep feelings of love for Luisa. Beca begins to realise that maybe what Luisa and her had was lust and nothing more."Thanks Stacie, I needed to hear that." Beca breaths a sigh of relief.
"Ah what are best friends for, if not to justify your sexual escapades?" Stacie smirks.
Beca smiles, before frowning, "What last night really made me realise is how much I miss Chloe. But she barely speaks to me."
"I noticed that, she's been really odd of late. Kinda quiet and withdrawn, but from what I can gather is that she doesn't want you to regret leaving. She thinks that if she's not on your radar 24/7, that you won't feel bad for chasing your dreams." Stacie says, knowing how sad Chloe has been.
"Well that makes me feel terrible." Beca's face drops.
"No don't, Bec. You made the right choice, this will set up your life. What's two years right?" Stacie's says, trying to comfort her friend.
"It's only been 5 months and I miss you guys like crazy." Beca admits, sadly, "And I miss Chloe so much."
"I know Beca and we miss you too. But your work, it so incredible and just think of the portfolio you'll have when you get home. Just take it one month at time and you'll be home before you know it." Stacie says, supportively.
It was sound advice, Beca and Emily basically did one assignment per month. So, if she thought about it that way, it might help her get through it.
'19 assignments to go.' Beca thinks, as she watches people ride by her on their bikes.
"So Beca…last night…how was it?" Stacie asks, slyly.
"Yep, I'm hanging up now." Beca snaps as she stands up.
"Oh come on! I tell you my stories!" Stacie whines, very offended that she wouldn't share.
"I never ask to hear your stories, you just tell me!" Beca rolls her eyes, though smiling, she was going to make through her next 19 months.
Author's Notes: I'm going to post again in morning (my time), so you guys don't riot on me :D hahaha
