One Shot 29

It's been a crazy morning and finally everything seems to calm down. Chloe sits down on the couch in the break room when someone knocks on the door. She lets out a heavy sigh before answering: "Come in." The door slowly opens to reveal a delivery guy. "Delivery for Chloe Beale?" Chloe stands up to meet the guy and see what he has brought. "Thank you but I didn't order anything though." The guy chuckles. "Oh I know, this is from someone else and you'll find out who it is soon enough."

With a sly wink the delivery guy hands Chloe a huge flower bouquet and walks away before she say anything else. "Thanks I guess." She mutters to herself. The flowers are beautiful and the person who is behind them really put a lot of thought into them. Along the side she finds a card but she can't recognize the handwriting. It's beautiful and in calligraphy. Does she know anyone who studied calligraphy writing? She slowly reads the card and a smile slowly creeps up her tired face.

You know who I am but won't find out until the time comes,
your carriage awaits if you decide to say yes to this date.
Don't worry about a thing, I took care of everything.

-Your secret Valentine x

Chloe lets out a delighted squeal. She always wanted to have a secret Valentine but the only one that knows about that is… "Aubrey!" Chloe takes out her phone and wants to call her best friend but gets interrupted by her boss. "Beale, what are you still doing here? You have a full day ahead and you should get started." Chloe stares at her boss with a jaw slightly jacked. "You knew about this?" She asks with a slightly higher pitch than normal.

The older man grabs Chloe by her shoulders and pushes her out of the clinic. "Of course, and now shoo because I'm not telling you who's behind it and your car is outside." Chloe sighs. "Fine, but can't you give me a hint at least?" The laugh she receives as an answer tells her enough. "Alright, alright I get it."

"Now go and have fun, I want details tomorrow." Chloe chuckles. "Ok, I promise." With one last push Chloe is out on the street and is met by her 'UBER' driver. "I'm going to assume that you're Chloe? The description matches perfectly." A young blonde man with a dazzling smile opens the door of the car. "That's me, uhm could you tell me where we're going?"

Chloe hesitates to step into the car. "Of course, we're starting off by going to a massage and after I'm taking you to the hair salon. When you're ready there I'll take you back to your studio so you can finish getting ready." The blonde driver motions to the car. "So are you getting in or…?" It doesn't take much more for Chloe to scramble into the car with a laugh. What she doesn't see is the driver making a call while walking to his door. "She's on her way to her first appointment… Of course, I'll make sure she gets everywhere safe… No problem boss, she doesn't suspect a thing."

Chloe has never felt so relaxed in her life. The massage had been wonderful, the masseuse knew exactly what spots to hit. The last person who knew her that well was… Beca. She really misses the tiny DJ but she hasn't seen or heard from her in over a month. Beca moved to LA to work with DJ Khalid's label. Things had been weird between them since they came back from the USO tour, she had no idea why and as much as she tries she can't figure it out.

Mike – her personal driver of the day – has kept quiet about who her mystery Valentine is. He had been patiently waiting outside the massage salon. And also when she was getting a mani pedi and getting her hair done. Who would spend so much money on her? It doesn't make sense, she never dated anyone with that much money. The only person that could be so thoughtful is… Chicago! It has to be him, but she needs a second opinion on that and who better to call than her best friend.

*Phone Call*

Aubrey: "Aubrey Posen Speaking?"

Chloe: "Hey Bree!"

Aubrey: "Oh hey Chlo, how are you?"

Chloe: "I'm good, how are you?"

Aubrey: "Good too. You sound happy, have a hot date tonight?"

Chloe: "I do have a date tonight with a mystery Valentine."

Aubrey: "Mystery Valentine? Oh my god you've been dreaming about that for years!"

Chloe: "Yeah, I know! I got beautiful flowers at work today with a note attached by my 'mystery Valentine'. I need some advice, I have a hunch on who it could be an I want to know if you think the same."

Aubrey: "Sure, who do you think it is and why?"

Chloe: "So my mystery Valentine ordered an UBER who doesn't look like a typical UBER and her drove me around all day. He took me to a masseuse and a nail and hair salon and waited patiently. He just dropped me off at the studio apartment and is waiting downstairs for me to get dressed so he can take me to the restaurant where I will meet up with…"

Aubrey: "Meet up with whom?"

Chloe: "I think the mystery Valentine is…

Aubrey: "Who?"

Chloe: "Bree stop interrupting me! I think it's… Chicago."

Aubrey: "Chicago?"

Chloe: "He's the only one I can think off, it sounds like something he would do. Maybe he decided to take a risk and date me?"

Aubrey: "Maybe Chlo but are you ready for it to be him?"

Chloe: "I-I don't know, I mean he's pretty perfect if you think about it."

Aubrey: "But is he perfect for you? What happened to Beca?"

Choe: "I haven't spoken to her since she moved to LA."

Aubrey: "Have you tried calling her?"

Chloe: "I tried in the beginning but apparently she disconnected her number."

Aubrey: "That doesn't sound like Beca, she hasn't change her number like… ever."

Chloe: "I guess but that means she's just ign-"

Aubrey: "Chloe? Chloe! What happened?"

Chloe: "He left me a dress and it's beautiful!"

Aubrey: "He did?"

Chloe: "I'll have to call you back."

*End Phone Call*

There's another note on top of the gorgeous red, strapless dress.

A beautiful dress for an even more beautiful woman.
The dress is a suggestion,
if you feel more comfortable in something else feel free to change!

-Your secret Valentine

Chloe is full on swooning. "He's incredible." She picks up the dress and holds it up in front of the mirror. No doubt she was going to look amazing on her fantastic date. The alert of an incoming text message catches her attention.

[From] Unknown – 7.25 pm
You have dinner reservations at 8, you don't want to keep your date waiting.
-Mike

Chloe quickly checks the time and sees that she probably should be going if she want to be in time to… she has no idea where she's going. She carefully puts on the dress. 15 minutes later she on her way down clutching a matching purse. Her mind racing a thousand miles an hour. Why am I so nervous? I wanted this for so long, why does it feel like something's missing?

"Miss Beale we have arrived at the restaurant." Mike parks the car and steps out to circle it so he can open the door for the extremely nervous redhead. "Hey it's going to be fine. You're going to love the person behind all of this." Chloe lifts her head to look at the blonde driver. "How can you be so sure? I still have no idea who it is." Mike takes out a piece of paper. "Ok before you have a panic attack read this."

Your lips so soft and red,
the thought of kissing you is stuck in my head.
Your beauty so bright and warm,
shinning through the darkest storm.
Your eyes sparkle like stars in the night sky.
When I stare into them I feel like I am soaring high.
My love for you is pure and true.
I never stop thinking of you.

Don't be nervous,
if you choose to change your mind at whatever time I'll be ok
because your happiness is what truly matters

Chloe takes a deep breath. With some new found courage she takes the first steps into the restaurant. She's instantly met with the manager. "Ah miss Beale, your date is waiting for you. If you could follow me?" The redhead quickly gets ushered into a room at the back of the restaurant. The room is candle lit with a beautifully set table in the middle of the room and rose peddles scattered across the room.

Soft music starts to play in the background and the lights dim down. Chloe watches some movement happen behind the curtain and her secret Valentine emerges from behind it. She can't believe it… the blue suite, the matching blue eyes and brown hair.

"Beca?!"

The DJ lets out a chuckle. "It's you, it's really you…" Chloe slowly takes a step towards the brunette. "So you're cool with this? The calls I've had during the day made me really nervous." Chloe takes another step towards her Valentine and another… she makes a run for it and wraps her arms around her neck and pulls her in for a kiss. Their first –non drunken – kiss. Beca wraps her own arms around Chloe's waist to pull her in even closer.

I DO NOT OWN PITCH PERFECT!
