Chapter 11
It was a couple days after the Jimmy Fallon appearance and people were constantly calling and requesting Beca. She of course still declined and respond with a simple "I just want to finish Halsey's album." Something everyone was looking forwards to. In those two days however, there was a tour that was being sponsored by Beats. Beats had contacted Beca and her team to see if there was interest, they agreed and Beca was added to the list. That leads us to Beca's current situation, on the phone with Aubrey.
"Yes Bree. Yes, I know. I am very aware. Of course I'll bring Jessie and CR. Bree I swear I read it." Aubrey had the habit of reminding Beca of things 5-6 times a day even if Beca was aware.
"Hobbit I'm serious! This is a huge deal, I'm warning you. Read them thoroughly and carefully. And show up to the meeting." Aubrey said sternly.
"Dam Bree, when the hell did you become my manager? Last I checked it was Jesse. Did you two switch roles? Is this a relationship test?" Beca asked smirking.
"Mitchell." Aubrey growled "Watch it. Jessie told me to remind your ass as well. Be there and I'll see you later." With that Aubrey hung up. Beca leaned back on her chair and looked out her window. Her office had a view of the whole city that she would look out when she would drift into her mind.
"Hey Beca." CR said as she entered her office.
"Your going to that meeting with me right? I don't think I could deal." Beca asked
"Of course Beca. I mean I am your publicist. Plus, free food and drinks, I'm so there." CR laughed and fist bumped her.
"Any way I just wanted to congratulate you on the Fallon interview. I'm glad you opened up like that. You going soft now?" CR smirked.
"Shush! Not so loud. But it's not a huge deal really. I don't want to sulk in sadness anymore dude. It's exhausting. I got to make the most of whatever all this is." Beca said making a circular motion with her index finger.
CR was looking at Beca with nothing but proudness. She was so proud of her small friend, she has really matured and become a terrific person. Deciding to give her friend a break she went over and pulled her out of her seat.
"Whoa dude what are you doing." Beca asked.
"Giving you a day off. Your going to go home and relax. I'll take of everything here." CR said as she was pushing Beca out of the door.
"Umm ok sure." Beca said a bit confused and happy.
"I'll call if any emergencies come up." CR said with a wave.
Beca walked up to her challenger and started to head to her house. Upon arriving she kicked off her shoes at the door and set her bags down on the marble kitchen island. She walked into her room and changed into something more comfortable. A pair of black Nike sweat shorts and a cropped tank top. She had just got to the game room wanting to some Mortal Kombat when she heard her front door. She didn't even have to check to know exactly who that was.
"SHORTY!" Stacie screamed walking into the house.
Laughing and shaking her head "Game room legs!" She yelled back. One thing about Beca's spacious house is that the echo was insane.
Upon hearing this, Stacie hurried up the steps and flung herself at her tiny friend "Well hello to you to." Beca chuckled returning the embrace.
"Hi, I'm just so excited that we get to spend the day together!" Stacie squealed.
"How did you know I was home?" Beca asked curiously.
"CR told me she gave you a day off and I decided on an impromptu best friends date. Lasting a whole day." Stacie smiled breaking the embrace.
"Sure Stace that sounds perfect." Beca smiled.
"Perfect because I brought pizza and wings." Stacie said while grabbing the boxes and bags.
"You Conrad are heaven sent." Beca said while snatching the extra cheese pizza.
"So I've been told Mitchell." Stacie said with a wink "Now time to embarrass you." She said while grabbing a controller.
Raising an eyebrow "Oh is that so? Well then Conrad let's see what you got."
Starting up the game Beca picked her go to character being Jason Voorhees while Stacie picked her go to being Predator. The two girls were looked into there game, the pizza and wings long gone by this point. They had decided on best of seven series, the first to 4 wins being the victor. The trash talk was intense as well as the button mashing.
"Wow Conrad your game is so weak, makes me wonder how you get all this action you say you do." Beca said with a smirk.
"Ohhhh that's how it's going to be? Bet." Stacie then proceeded to hit Beca with the fatality. "Ouch your character is dead, just like your love life." Stacie laughed.
Beca glared at her "That's it! No more going easy on you." Beca said with nothing but determination.
It was now 3-2 Beca going into game six, upon the round starting Beca wasted no time in assaulting Stacie's character. Stacie was able to fight back a bit but in the end Beca destroyed her. Jumping up "Ha! Another W for me and a L for you my friend." Beca said doing a mini victory dance. Something Stacie recorded and posted to her Instagram.
"Alright Mitchell, double or nothing." Stacie proposed.
"Ok name the game Conrad." Beca said taking a sip of her Sprite.
Looking around the game room "Alright the old classic, pool."
"Alright let's do it." Beca nodded and headed towards the table.
"Let's make even more interesting what do you say?" Stacie asked. After receiving a nod "Ok strip pool Beca."
"How would that work exactly?" Be a questioned
"Simple every time one of makes a shot the other removes something." Stacie smirked.
"Your on. What's the double or nothing wager?" Asked Beca.
"Loser gets a tattoo of the winners choice." Was the answer.
"Deal." Beca extended her arm and the two shook on it.
The game was close with each girl only have 2 balls left to sink. And each were down to there bra and a pair of shorts. It was now Beca's turn, after lining everything up she shot and sunk her ball into the corner pocket.
"Alright Conrad down go the shorts."
"Wow Mitchell excited to see me strip much?" Stacie smirked
"Don't flatter yourself." Beca laughed.
Beca missed her next shot giving Stacie a change to even things up. After lining her shot up and sinking it, Beca proceeded to take her shorts off.
Whistling "Dayum Becs." Rolling her eyes Beca looked at her "Did you just cat call me?" Shrugging her shoulders "Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't."
Setting up for the winning shot all she had to do was sing the 8 ball. "8 corner pocket." She announced. Hitting the cue ball she was able to sink the 8 ball in the corner pocket making her the winner.
"YESSS! Give me that dam W! Take this L Mitchell!" Stacie shouted doing a victory dance. Beca was just looking on and couldn't help but smile at her best friend.
"Alright Stace good game." Beca said picking up her clothing.
"Ah what are you doing?" Stacie asked.
"Umm getting dressed." Beca asked sounding like she was asking a question.
"Nope, not yet." Stacie smirked.
"What? Come on Stace." Beca whined.
"Nope your staying in your bra and underwear for this." Stacie laughed.
"For what?" Beca asked.
Stacie grabbed her phone and smiled "I'm going to record you and you will admit that I'm the superior friend when it comes to games."
"But I'm better then you at video games. We just proved that!" Beca exclaimed.
"Fine you can say except video games."
Sighing Beca gave a nod. Stacie hit record "Hey guys, you're probably wondering why I'm not really wearing clothing. Well it's because Stacie challenged me to strip pool and let's just say she won, by one ball! Anyways just wanted to say that Stacie Conrad is better then Beca Mitchell at games. Not including video games, she can't touch me in those. Well that's that bye you guys." Beca said with a wave.
Stacie then turned the camera herself "You hear that guys!" She stood in front of the mirror "She gave it her all but at the end of the day Stacie Conrad is superior." At this Beca stood behind her putting her shirt on and said "Don't let this boost your ego Stace." Laughing Stacie said "Will do sweetie. Well by guys. Oh and #steca for the win!"
Shaking her head laughing "People are really going to think we're dating if we keep this stuff up." Beca said.
"Is that a bad thing?" Stacie asked grabbing her clothes.
Shaking her head "Nope but you know how some people are." Beca answered.
"Fuck those people Becs, we got to do what makes us happy. Not do what makes others happy." Stacie said as she finished getting dressed.
"Your right Stace, it's just tough sometimes you know."
"I get where you're coming from. Just remember it's your life and not there's." Stace said as she brought Beca in for a side hug.
Returning the hug "Thanks for today Stace. I needed to relax before this festival and tour."
"Of course B. You can always count on me." Stacie smiled.
