Chapter 10

FIRST DAY OF PRESS

"Hey, Chloe. We're going to four different interviews today. Do you want to join us or stay here with Silver?" Beca asked.

"Of course, I want to come. I want to see, Beca Mitchell, the actress in action." Chloe said excitedly.

"I hope I don't disappoint you."

"You'll never, Becs. Let's get ready."

Chloe made sure to bring her hottest outfits. The Bellas even helped her go shopping the day after Thanksgiving and she didn't tell Beca about it though. She wants to see the brunette's reaction after she gets dressed.

Chloe wore a short dress, revealing her chest with just the right amount to keep people from looking. She was Beca's best friend anyway, she had to leave a good impression.

"Chloe, are you ready? I don't mean to rush you but…" She got cutoff when the redhead eventually went out of the bathroom wearing a white short dress above the knee. She looked like a model and Beca felt like she's underdressed.

"Wow, Chloe. You're beautiful. I tell you that almost all the time but holy crap. You're so stunning. Are you sure you don't want to be an actress? You'd do a better job than I do." Chloe felt she did a good job trying to impress Beca.

"You look really good, Becs. Who knows maybe one day I can get in a lead role with you?" She couldn't even hold back anymore.

"I wouldn't complain. We'd make a great pair." They smiled at each other lovingly.

How long does this have to go on though? Chloe's really close to just kissing the brunette already.

They got in the car and went to the first interview which went really well. The host was kind to Beca and Blake. They had fun the whole time as Blake tried to promote the film and her co-star much more than herself. She praised Beca in every interview and the other girl just felt lucky to have such a good friend with her, and the hottest best friend cheering for her.

It was the last interview and this time the interviewer asked who the redhead at the front was.

"That's my best friend, Chloe Beale." Beca was confident in answering after spending the whole day promoting the movie.

"Hi, Chloe. It's so nice of you to come with Beca on interviews. This rarely happens." The interviewer teased.

"I'm her best friend for a reason and I'm supporting her on her acting debut." Chloe replied and handled herself really well.

"She's a keeper." The interviewer told Beca.

"She actually is, Ryan. I'm third-wheeling their friendship this whole trip." Blake tried to get the attention to spare the two from feeling awkward

"I wouldn't mind you third-wheeling in any of my relationships." Ryan, the interviewer, said.

It ended after a few more questions for Blake and they all went back to the hotel to get some well-deserved rest.

Beca and Chloe went straight to their room to get ready for bed and decided to just order room service for dinner.

They were so hungry and ordered half the menu from appetizer to dessert. They both wore the hotel's robe and chowed down the food.

"Do you think Blake ate dinner already?" Chloe remembered their third-wheeler.

"I'll call her."

Within 5 minutes, Blake was already knocking on the door.

"Good evening, I didn't get the memo about robe night. Now I really feel like a third wheel." Blake said as she entered the room.

"Feel free to strip down whenever you feel like it." Beca told her co-star.

"That's a bit too much. Keep it in your pants, Beca."

Chloe couldn't believe how in sync the two are with their banters and she was lucky enough to witness it all.

"Tomorrow's the big day. It's premiere night. Are you ready, Chloe?" Blake asked the redhead.

"I thought it was 'till the end of the week?" Chloe's eyes widened.

"It's tomorrow night. We're leaving Paris on Thursday to get ready for the US press, the most brutal ones."

"The day after tomorrow is our day off, we can go to the Louvre." Beca suggested.

"Great idea. We can spend the whole day eating French food." Blake answered.

"You're eating already. How can you think about more food while eating?" Beca was thinking how unfair it was the Blake keeps her hot figure despite eating A LOT.

"It's a secret I'll never tell. I'm about to leave now, I just wanna tell you that we'll have a cocktail party before the red carpet. Don't get too drunk we're talking to a lot of critics together. Okay, Mitchell? Thanks for dinner. Bye." Blake was out of the room in a flash.

"She literally ate and run." Chloe said.

"Are you ready to watch A Simple Favor for the first time?" Chloe then asked her best friend.

"I actually am. All these interviews and events leads up to tomorrow. We need to leave a good impression to everyone attending tomorrow because this country has the toughest critics. I just can't wait to see the final product of our hard work. It takes a lot of commitment to push through with a huge film like this." Beca was at ease for the first time. She just wants to see how people would react, how Chloe would react.

"I haven't seen it yet but I know you're going to crush it." Chloe proudly told her best friend.

Beca checked her messages and saw the Bella group chat flooding with notifications.

"Good luck, Beca. We hope we could watch it with you." Fat Amy messaged.

"You'll be bagging an Oscar in no time." Said Aubrey.

"Go get some!" Stacie replied. Of course it had to be about sex.

"Thank you, girls! I wish you were here too. We'll see you at the premiere next week." Beca replied to her favorite people.

Chloe was smiling as she answered a call.

"Hi, Bree. Where are you? Really? I hope you can make it tomorrow!"

Beca smiled knowing Aubrey might come to watch the movie. She needs a whole lot of support from the girls. She got ready for bed and slept as early as she can because she can't wait to watch the movie with Chloe.
