The Highest Bidder

One Shot 33

"Explain to me why I have to do this again?"

Beca is nervously pacing in her office while Theo watches in amusement? He just broke the great news to the multi award winning singer. Well he broke the news over two hours ago and the only response he had gotten was 'NO!', 'Are you insane?', 'I'm not doing it.' and 'Fuck off you British moron.'. Theo could only wait the storm out. The most important thing he learned since Beca became his boss over a year ago.

"It's a charity event Beca, why are you so against it?" Theo's thick British accent is really starting to annoy the singer. It's not because she hates him, it's because she hates the situation he got her into. "Dude you know it's not about the charity." Beca lets out a frustrated groan. "You know I help like different causes. It's about what I have to do." Another groan escapes the brunette.

Theo rolls his eyes. He knew that it would be hard to convince her. "Oh come on Beca, it can't be that bad. It's only for a day." Beca is really close to strangling the man. "You're auctioning me off for money! Charity or not you should have asked me before signing me up." Beca abruptly stops her pacing to face Theo for the first time in 2 hours.

The man holds up his hands in defense. "I'm sorry Beca but there's no going back now. The event is next week." He says with shrug. "Look on the bright side though, your friends, the Bellas? I'm flying them all over." Beca's face falls. She hasn't seen any of the Bellas since the USO tour. She still spoke to Aubrey, Fat Amy, Emily and Chloe often. Yet they never managed to meet up because they're busy with their awesome lives."Really, everyone?"

"Well Chloe called me back and sadly she won't be joining the group. I'm sorry. She said she would call you about it." Beca lets out a sigh. "Then I can expect a phone call from her anytime now."

Chloe and Chicago didn't exactly work out. The soldier was really honest and had told Chloe that it wasn't going to work out in the long run. The redhead had been devastated. They managed to last a year and 6 months which really surprised everyone. Beca had rushed back to the apartment in Brooklyn - she was still paying for it and Chloe was still living there – to console her friend. She dropped everything for her and she's do it again in a heartbeat.

"When will the rest arrive?" Beca asks. "They should all be at the hotel in an hour. I thought you might want to meet them at the restaurant? Your reservation is at 8." Theo checks his phone while rattling off all the information. "So I have time to go home and get ready, right?" Theo nods. "Yes, Jared will take pick you up at 7.30 so be ready."

With a shake of her head Beca turns around to collect her laptop and some sheet music. "We're not done about the charity ting though. You owe me big time." Theo laughs lightly. "I know, trust me. Now go or you'll be late." Beca gets shooed out of her office but manages to shout one last thing before finally leaving. "Tell me things in advance!"

Beca takes a deep breath before opening the door of the car. "Oh Jared." The brunette is met by a hum. "I'm not sure what the deal is for later but if you're the one picking us up you might want to come around with a bigger car." The driver nods and wishes Beca a good evening before the car door closes.

As the brunette reaches the door of the restaurant she feels her phone vibrating in her pocket. She takes it out and checks the caller ID. A gentle smile makes its way to her face and soon takes over the tired frown. No matter what was going on. Beca made a promise to always answer her friends (even more so for Chloe).

*Phone Call*

Beca: "Miss Beale how can I help you on this fine evening?" She can't help the chuckle leaving her when Chloe laughs on the other line.

Chloe: "Well hello superstar Beca B-Mitch."

Beca: "How have you been?"

Chloe: *sigh* "Lonely… it's been weird being all alone."

Beca: "Then why didn't you come to LA like the others?"

Chloe: Because I need to work and study… I'm really sorry."

Beca: "Don't apologize, I completely understand. I might take a week off after the stupid charity event."

Chloe: "What will you do during your week off?"

Beca: "I was thinking of taking a trip to Hawaii but I realized that I miss a certain redhead way too much and she would be angry if I would go without her."

Chloe: "Is that an invitation?"

Beca: "Would you accept if it was?"

Chloe: "Only from you."

The girls fall silent for a few moments. The weight of not seeing each other crushing them.

Chloe: "I really am sorry for missing out on the Bellas reunion." Her voice sounds sad and tired.

Beca: "That's ok, I promise we'll have another one soon."

Chloe: "I guess I should let you get back to the girls. Tell them I said hi."

Beca: "Chlo?"

Chloe: "Yes?"

Beca: "Once all of this is over I will come visit you… Only if you want me of course?"

Chloe: "Call me when the event is over and we'll talk things over."

Beca: "Sounds like a great plan."

Chloe: "Bye Becs, have fun."

Beca: "Bye."

*End Phone Call*

Beca shoves her phone back into her pocket. With one final breath she finally finds the courage to go into the restaurant. The minute she walks in she sees the Bellas sitting at a long table, happily chatting away. It's not until she's standing next to the group that they notice her. Aubrey is the first one to point her out. "Beca you're here!"

All of a sudden 9 pairs of eyes are staring at her. "Uh hi girls how were your flights?" Beca doesn't understand a thing they're saying because they're all talking at the same time. With an eye roll the brunette takes a seat between the youngest Bella and her ex-roommate. One by one she can figure out what's being said.

Fat Amy is doing great with all of her one woman shows. She had been invited all over the country and her new manager even got her to do a huge European tour. Especially since her fan base was growing every day.

Lilly quit her job at the bar and joined the police force. Cynthia-Rose finally passed her flying exam and is a special force pilot in the army. Flo's juice emporium was doing great. So great that it had opened 5 new establishments in the past 4 months.

Emily has graduated and is doing her post graduate studies in Atlanta. She took on another music major and it's working out pretty great. She spends a lot of time with Aubrey who helps her to bounce musical ideas off of. She's secretly hoping to show Beca one of her songs again. She just needs to find the right moment to ask the Bella she most looks up too.

Aubrey did give up on her dream of becoming a doula yet instead decided to stay with Stacie or more accurately, she invited Stacie to stay with her at the Lodge Of Fallen Leaves. They were both still adamant that they weren't dating but no actually believed that.

A soft tug on Beca's jacket catches her attention. Bella managed to make her way to Beca. The two year old looked up at her expectantly and it could only mean one thing. "Hi Bella, do you want to sit on my lap?" The adorable giggle from the little girl is all the answer se needs. So she picks her up and balances on her knee and bounces her up and down. The movement makes Bella let out contagious laughs and giggles that Beca easily mimics.

The sounds catch the other Bellas attention. Aubrey quickly pulls out her phone and some the others (Fat Amy and Stacie) follow the motion. The blonde Bella snaps a few pictures and makes a little video to send to Chloe. Once she's satisfied she picks out the most adorable picture. One where Bella is squeezing Beca's cheeks and the brunette is smiling down and pulling a funny face that makes the little girl laugh.

When Aubrey's phone chimes it alerts Beca about the situation she just put herself in. "This is not what it looks like?" She tries but can easily see that no one is buying it. "You guys look adorable." Stacie says with smile, taking another picture. "How about we order some food?" Beca tries with a shrug. The others agree way too easily to her liking but if she's lucky they'll let it go. She looks down when she feels her phone in her pocket.

[From] Chloe – 8.38 pm
Looking good with Bella ;)

[From] Beca – 8.39 pm
Wish you were here though, you'd be so much better with her

[From] Chloe – 8.40 pm
Looks like you have it all under control ;)

[From] Beca – 4.42 pm
Doesn't mean I don't want you here

[From] Beca – 4.43 pm
It's not the same without you

[From] Chloe – 8.45 pm
I know Becs, we'll meet up soon. I promise!

[From] Beca – 8.46 pm
Of course, we'll stay in touch!

While texting with Chloe the waiter came around taking everyone's order. Since Beca is a pretty regular customer he didn't have to even ask her anymore.

When Beca finally puts her phone away she's met with silent stares. She has to think fast is she want to deflect the attention away from her. "So Ashley you wanted to make an announcement?" Ashley casts her eyes down, she nods but suddenly is just too nervous to answer the question. She looks at her girlfriend to help her out.

"We both do actually." All the girls shift their attention to the blonde part of Jasley. "We uhm we're engaged?" Jessica holds up her left hand showing off her ring. Ashley does the same and the two women are met with delighted squeals and congratulations. The couple looks over at Beca who just smiles at them while still holding Bella.

They had told the singer 2 months ago because they wanted her to be maid of honor. Beca had accepted under the condition that they would let her DJ at least some pat of the night. After they agreed to that they called Chloe and asked her the same question. The redhead had been ecstatic and made them promise not to tell anyone. They thought it was strange but agreed anyway.

You might wonder why they chose those two specifically? Well it's because they were the only ones that ever learned their names correctly. And they also know how much both women are crushing on each other. Making them both maids of honor would make them spend more time together. Which in turn would mean them reconnecting and maybe admitting their feelings. Or so they hope.

The rest of the dinner is filled with light conversations about the upcoming wedding and of course teasing Beca about who is still entertaining Bella in her lap while feeding the toddler to give Stacie and Aubrey a moment to relax.

The rest of the week passes by in a blur. In between trying to work on new songs, showing the Bellas around and trying to find out what she has to do for the highest bidder. But no luck so far on that front. Theo won't budge and the event is tonight. The Bellas decided to give Beca some time to prepare and told her they would meet her at the event. Theo had taken care of everything for them.

Beca is relieved that she has a few hours to herself before having to leave for the charity event. She loves the girls, she really does but she needs some time away from them too. She is happy that they're all going to be there tonight. She probably wouldn't survive an hour without her closest friends by her side.

Around 6 pm Beca is finally ready to leave for the event. She has to make an appearance before the auction starts. She hated the idea but in the end it was for a good cause. She checks herself in the mirror one more time. The strapless black dress that ended right above her knees hugged her in all the right places. Her hair hangs loosely around her shoulders. and she completed her look with a leather jacket. No way she was going without it.

"Beca are you ready?" Theo's voice travels through the door. Beca sighs and walks over to the door. "I'm ready." She says, opening the door. "Why did you make me stay at a hotel anyway?" The man rolls his eyes with a charming smile. "Because the event is taking place at the hotel." The British charmer holds out his arm for Beca to take. "The auction has started already so I need you to be ready. You're the last person to be auctioned."

Beca follows Theo after ignoring his stretched out arm. "Yes because that's how a woman wants to be treated… like an object." It comes out more snarky than necessary. "I'm sorry Theo. It's just that I don't even know what is going to happen when someone 'wins me'?" The nods and thinks about the problem at hand. "Well…" He starts. "… you actually have to spend a day with that person. They can take you out on a date or just listen to music or anything they want really."

Theo notices the displeased look on Beca's face. "There are rules of course. They cannot force you into anything you don't want to do but you cannot say no to everything." The brunette grunts. "Fine but I swear to all that you love if some kind of creep wins I'll make your life miserable." Theo takes a slight step to the right. "Message received."

The two enter the big hall. Beca immediately heads for the Bellas. She finds the girls but is still missing one. "Hey where's Emily?" She whispers to Aubrey. "I think she went to the bathroom but she's been gone for a while now." Beca nods and feels worried about the younger Bella. So without a second thought she walks out to the garden.

She finds Emily standing outside staring up at the night sky. "Hey Em, what's bothering you?" The tall brunette lets out a heavy sigh. "It's nothing." Beca rolls her eyes. "Ok I know something's up because for the past week you've been acting strange." Emily sighs before turning to face Beca. "I've been trying to talk to you all week but every time I think about it I chicken out."

Beca chuckles. "What are you so afraid off? I mean my doors are always open for you, I'm serious." Emily blushes slightly in embarrassment. "I know, I'm really sorry it's just… I wanted your opinion on a few songs I wrote and I was scared you'd say no." A smile forms on the older brunette's face. "First of all. Don't ever hesitate to ask me to listen to your songs, you're the reason I made all of this happen. Second, how about we meet up soon? I'm going to try and visit Chloe the coming week and I can pull some string to get you in a studio to record a demo. Only if you want of course."

"Oh my sweet nibbles that would be awesome! Thank you so much!" Emily pulls Beca into a tight hug. Years ago Beca would have pushed the young girl away but today she just hugs her back. "I'm sorry to interrupt but you're up next." The two girls break apart at Theo's voice. "Yes of course, I'll see you later, ok Em?" The young brunette nods excitedly while the older one walks back into the building.

15 minutes later Beca is called onto the stage and is met by cheers, laughter and loud wolf whistles. The brunette is extremely close to walking away. "Alright, I know we're all tired but we have one more amazing person to auction off for a good cause. Our favorite and only lady of the night, miss Beca B- Mitch!" Another round of applause follows the announcement.

Beca feels really uncomfortable. The system was electronic so no one knew who was actually bidding on her. The only thing she could hear was the announcer calling out numbers.

"500?… 1000?… 1500?… 2000?… 2500?… 3000?… 5000?..."

That was a big jump. Who would want to pay so much money for her anyway?

"10 000… going once?... Going twice?... Auctioned! Miss Beca B-Mitch is sold for 10 000 dolars to bidder number 486."

The room starts looking around, trying to find out who the mystery bidder is. Suddenly Beca can hear a collect gasp coming from the Bellas table. She follows their looks and sees the person that caught their attention. "Chloe?" She mumbles to herself. The redhead holds up a little board with the number 486 on it. It takes all of Beca's will power not to squeal in excitement – not that she ever would because you know… she's abadass and all – and run towards the redhead.

Chloe's dazzling smile is almost blinding. Before she fully understands what's going on Beca is off the stage and walking towards her. She sadly gets beaten to it by the rest of the Bellas. For the rest of the night she barely gets the chance to catch a glimpse of the other woman. Chloe being surrounded by the Bellas and Beca being talked to by every important business associate and Theo never leaving her side.

When she finally has a moment to catch her breath she finds out that the Bellas already left. She finds Theo and tells him that she's tired and seeing that it's almost midnight he lets her off. But not before promising to explain what had happened that night the following day.

With a relieved breath Beca finally leaves the hall and makes her way up to her room. She would have gone to find Chloe if she knew where the redhead was. They would meet up tomorrow morning in the lobby anyway.

Beca opens the door of her room and steps inside. She's so focused on putting her key back into her pocket and looking down at her phone screen that she doesn't notice the person sitting on the edge of the bed. The brunette walks into the bathroom to brush her teeth and remove her make up. When she returns she once again doesn't notice the person on the bed. She's scrolling through her twitter and answering to some of her fans tweets.

Beca shrugs off her leather jacket and chuckles at cute tweet a fan tagged her in. Once the jacket is off she takes off her heels. She turns around to face the bed and for the first time she notices the person on the bed who was quietly watching the brunette's each and every move. Beca lets out a loud scream and slams back into the dresser behind her.

"Whoa relax, I'm sorry for scaring you." Beca drops her phone in shock. "C-Chloe? Oh my god it's you! You're here! Why are you here?" While having her moment of word vomit the brunette lunges forward and tackles the redhead onto the bed. They burst out in laughter. Chloe hides her face in the crook of Beca's neck and nuzzles her nose into a very sensitive spot that only she knows about. Beca doesn't care though.

The laughter dies down after a few minutes and Chloe finds herself completely wrapped in Beca's arms. It feels safe, good and completely relaxing. The redhead squeezes the younger girl for a quick second before relaxing into the touch once again. "Mmmm feels nice." Beca mumbles quietly, not caring how corny it sounded.

Chloe doesn't want to move, like ever again, but she knows that they have to at least get up and get dressed into something more comfortable and maybe explain why she's here in the first place. "Becs? Beca?" A soft hum sounds up from the brunette. "How about we get dressed into something more comfy?" With a groan Beca sit up and pulls Chloe with her. "Fine but can you… can you stay tonight?"

"I wasn't planning on leaving." Chloe points at her suitcase on the floor. 'Now I know why Theo made me stay here tonight." Beca chuckles. "I might have asked him to do that." Beca raises her brow at the confession with a soft smile. "Let's get dressed and I'll explain." Beca accepts the proposition and nods. The two get dressed in a comfortable silence.

Beca is the first one ready and crawls into the king-sized bed and plugs in her phone to charge. Chloe follows a few minutes later. Beca scoots closer to the middle and holds out her arm so Chloe can cuddle into her side. The redhead instantly complies and wraps her arms around the brunette. They stay silent for about a minute but Beca breaks it because she wants to know why Chloe was there.

"So, are you going to tell me why you're here and also how you managed to win the charity event bidding?" Chloe takes a breath and sits up a bit but quickly settles back into the embrace.

"When Theo called to invite me to come to the charity event I asked him what it was for and he told me about the auction. I told him that you would be extremely against it and I wanted to maybe get him to change his mind. When he said it was too late I tried to convince him once more but to no avail. He then gave me the idea of me maybe trying to bid for you. I told him it was ridiculous and that I couldn't afford it. He told me not to worry about it, that you would take care of it?"

Beca's eyes widen at the realization at why Theo didn't tell her about anything concerning the charity event. "I wanted to surprise you so I asked Theo to tell you I wasn't coming to the reunion this week." Chloe's voice is barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry I lied." The younger girls lets out a soft chuckle. "That's ok, I'm glad you're here now. And you'll have to remind me to thank Theo for spending my money."

"What?" Chloe is really confused. "I have a feeling I'll the one paying for the auction." The redhead shoots up as if something burned her. "Oh my gosh Beca I'm so sorry I didn't kno-" She gets cut off by the brunette's hand covering her mouth. "Chlo relax, I don't mind. Actually I'm happy he did it because I help a good cause and get to spend a full day with you without any interruptions. Nothing could be better."

Beca pulls Chloe back into her arms and holds her tight. "So, what do you want to do tomorrow?" Chloe shrugs. "I'll think of something." A sly smile creeps up the redhead's face. She knows exactly what she wants to do and tomorrow is the perfect opportunity for that. It doesn't take long for both women to fall asleep. Warmly snuggled up in each other's arms.

The next morning Beca is the first one to wake up, unable to move because of Chloe's weight on top of her. She really missed being so close to the redhead. She would never admit it but this was the best she had slept in months and it's all because of the bubbly, pretty and totally awesome redhead in her arms.

A blissful sigh escaped the brunette and it accidently wakes up the woman in her arms. "Morning." Chloe mumbles drowsily. "Morning Chlo, how did you sleep?" Beca asks in a soft whisper. "Amazing, I missed sleeping next to you." Chloe looks up and is met with the deep blue eyes that belong to the most beautiful woman in the world. Or at least to her. How can Beca look that good first thing in the morning?

Beca's face lights up when their eyes meet. "So, what do you want to today? I'm all yours." A smirk creeps up on the redhead's face. "There's something I always wanted to do but I want to make sure it's ok with you. I don't want to make you uncomfortable." The redhead's voice sounds really vulnerable and it kind of scares the brunette. "Hey you could never make me feel uncomfortable. What's wrong?"

Chloe moves up and away from Beca. "Chlo you can ask me anything." The redhead takes a deep breath and avoids the deep gaze coming from the brunette. "Remember that treble party during your sophomore year?" Beca nods remembering the party that Chloe means. "We got pretty drunk that night because that guy you were dating uhm Jack? Anyway he broke up with you, right?" Now it's Chloe's turn to nod. "So that night we walked home. Do you remember what you told me that night?"

Beca thinks about it but can't think of anything that moment so she shakes her head with a frown. But then it hits her. "I told you that… if I ever had the chance I would show you how you should be treated. I promised that I would take you out on the perfect date." Chloe nods in confirmation but doesn't look up at the brunette. That's the only reason why she misses the huge grin on Beca's face.

When Chloe keeps her eyes down Beca cups her chin to force her to look at her. "I thought you forgot about it so I pushed it away in a faraway place. If I would have known you actually wanted this I would have asked you out a long time ago… Not because I feel obligated but because … because I really like you."

The redhead stops breathing for a minute. She's shocked to say the least. And apparently her silence is freaking the brunette out and she watches her scramble out of bed, and follows her as she's pacing up and down the hotel room. "Becs… Bec… Beca!" The brunette freezes in her tracks and turns around to shyly look at the woman in the bed.

She watches Chloe get up from the bed and slowly make her way towards her. She stops right in front of her. Chloe gently grabs the brunette by her shirt and pulls her in stopping right before their lips can touch but close enough that their noses brush against each other. "Chlo." It comes out as a shaky whisper. The love and need in the younger girl's eyes is all the incentive she needs as she closes the gap between them.

The kiss is gentle and sweet. Their lips mold together perfectly. It's all they have been waiting for and it's the greatest feeling in the world. No matter what life could throw their way. From now on everything would be perfect as long as they were together.
