The two girls had worked through dinner, well more like ordered pizza and ate dinner while they worked. They found that they worked well together, their thoughts complimenting each other. They weren't identical thoughts, but complimentary, which made the process of developing the musical pieces more successful than if they just thought the same way.
They found themselves on the couch talking about the pros and cons of a particular rhythm line for the last song they were working on when Beca looked at the clock, "Shit, it's getting late. I should get going."
Emily looked shyly at her, "You don't have to go, there's plenty of room here. You could stay in your old room, or any other room for that matter." Beca looked at her skeptically. Emily looked down at her hands, "It gets lonely here by myself. I miss having you around."
Beca couldn't take the pitiful sound in Emily's voice. She tried to think of any cons to the idea. Chloe would be fine, in fact she could already imagine her and Aubrey taking advantage of her being away from the apartment. She shook her head, she didn't need to see that in her imagination. She smiled at Emily, "Alright, but not tonight. There probably aren't sheets ready for the bed and I don't have any clothes or my toothbrush, or anything else for that matter. I'll pack up some things and bring them with me tomorrow and I'll stay here for a few days and we'll see how it goes."
Emily clapped her hands and squealed before pulling Beca into a hug, "Oh thank you. It's going to be so awesome."
Beca laughed fondly at the enthusiasm of the younger girl as she pushed her back and wiggled a finger in her ear, "If I'm going to be staying here, we're going to have to work on not squealing in Beca's ear.'
Emily chuckled sheepishly, "Sorry."
Beca gave her a little push, "Dork." Emily just beamed back at her.

Beca found Chloe and Aubrey playing cards over the coffee table when she finally got home. The two girls smiled at her and Chloe asked as she played a card, "How'd it go today? Get lots of work done?"
Beca answered as she reached over the back of the couch and pulled a card from Aubrey's hand, to her protest, and tossed it on the redhead's, "It went great, we really clicked and I think we got most of the way through one of her songs."
Chloe smiled at her, "That's awesome!"
Beca nodded as she walked into the kitchen to grab a glass of water, "Yah, it was kind of awesome. Emily asked me to stay at the Bella house while we worked on the songs. She's all by herself and she's pretty lonely over there, so I'm not going to be around much for a week or two probably."
Aubrey turned to her after playing a card, "That's really nice of you Beca." Then she turned back to Chloe and playfully moved her eyebrows suggestively up and down a few times.
Beca noticed and groaned, "That does not give you free reign to have sex anywhere you want in the apartment Posen."
Aubrey laughed, holding her hand to her chest, "Moi, I would never do such a thing. Your roommate on the other hand.."
Chloe playfully slapped her arm as she trailed off, "Sure, throw me under the bus Bree."
Beca laughed at the two, "Seriously, I want the couch shampooed before I get back." Chloe just stuck her tongue out at the brunette.
Beca gave Aubrey's shoulder a gentle pat as she walked by to head to her room. She packed about a week's worth of clothes along with her toiletries. Then she packed up most of her mixing and recording equipment. If they were going to be serious about this and she'd be staying there, she'd need all of her stuff. She thought of something as she was finishing up packing and sent Emily a text about it.
Becs: Do you have bedding or should I bring some?
Ems: You better bring some. The only things here are the stuff Fat Amy left. I washed them, twice, but I still don't know if I trust them. I have some extra blankets though if you need them.
Beca laughed at Emily's text before heading to the hall closet and grabbing a clean set of sheets and pillow cases. She looked at the pile of stuff she had packed and thought she had everything. Then she chuckled to herself, it's not like she couldn't just drive back across town if she forgot something.

Beca arrived a little early the next morning so she could get situated in one of the rooms before they started. She was tempted to take her old room, but decided that walking up and down the stairs to use the bathroom was too much of a hassle so she took the room next to Emily's (and next to the bathroom). As the two girls made up Beca's bed, Beca joked that she was a little disappointed that Emily didn't answer the door in her usual towel. Emily just smirked and reminded her that she would probably see her in a towel every day now.
After Beca got her bedroom situated the two girls headed back down to the kitchen where all of their work from yesterday was still spread out over the table. After grabbing a cup of coffee from the pot that Emily was nice enough to have ready for Beca, they went back to the song they had started yesterday. When they thought they had the song pretty much finished, they moved right on to the next song.
The next couple of days went pretty smoothly. The girls would get up in the morning and get ready. Well, Emily would get up first, take her shower and then teasingly wake Beca up in just her towel. Beca would surreptitiously check out Emily's legs as she would head back to her room to finish getting ready before the smaller brunette would finally drag herself out of bed to take her own shower.
The two girls finished up their work Thursday evening and decided to have a Glee night. The two girls were arguing about who was better on the show, Rachel or Quinn, while they got everything ready. They plopped down on the couch and started watching. About halfway through their first episode of the night, Emily let herself tip over and land with her head in Beca's lap. She kind of wiggled around until she was comfortable and her head was turned towards the TV, finally mumbling out loud, "There, much better."
Beca smirked down at the taller girl as she wiggled. When she stopped moving Beca looked down at her, "Comfy?"
Emily nodded a bit against Beca's leg, "Mmmhmmm."
After a few minutes, Beca's fingers slowly moved through Emily's hair. She didn't even realize she was doing it until she felt Emily turn slightly into her hand as it stroked through her hair. Emily pushed pause on the remote and rolled onto her back so she was looking up at Beca. She looked serious as she asked, "Can I ask you something?"
Beca looked down at the taller girl, "Sure Ems, you can ask me anything."
Emily furrowed her brow and closed her eyes as if contemplating something before looking back up at Beca, "So, how do you ask a girl out? I've never had to ask anyone out before. Is it different than when a guy asks you out?"
Beca smiled down at her, "So, I take it you thought about whether or not you like girls?"
Emily shrugged, her shoulders brushing against Beca's legs, "I don't really know if I like girls in general or just one girl in particular."
Beca shrugged back, "Nothing wrong with that. I've always had the view that you like who you like. Me, I've always liked girls but that doesn't mean there couldn't be a guy out there for me." Then she laughed, "Who am I kidding, I don't think I'd ever be physically attracted to a guy."
Emily looked confused, "What about Jesse?"
Beca shrugged, "I was never really attracted to him that way. We got along great and I thought that would be enough, but of course it never is."
Emily sighed, "That's how I've always felt about Benji." Emily sat up and pushed on Beca's leg, "But you never answered my question. How do you ask a girl out?"
Beca shrugged, "You just ask her out. But I'd make sure she's into girls before you do. Been there, done that. Not fun to ask someone out and find out they're straight. I've never been more embarrassed in my life."
Emily laughed, "Well I'm pretty sure she's totally into girls."
Beca smiled, "Good, at least you have that going for you. So, do I know who this girl is?"
Emily looked down at her lap, shyly answering, "Yah, you do."
Beca turned to look at Emily, excited for her friend, "Really, you've got to tell me who. Maybe I can help."
Emily suddenly leaned into Beca, brushing a quick kiss over her lips before pulling back and looking shyly at her lap again, "It's you."
Beca was taken by surprise when the taller girl leaned in and brushed her lips over hers. After the shock faded, Beca reached up and brushed her fingers over her lips where Emily's had just been. She shook herself, not letting her hopes rise too much just yet. She reached over and slid her fingers under Emily's chin, lifting her face up until they were looking in each other's eyes. Beca looked somberly at the younger girl, "Before I say anything about the kiss I need to ask you a couple of questions." Emily nodded at the older girl, her lower lip quivering slightly because she knew Beca was just putting off her rejection. Beca's first question came, "First, are you sure that you like girls and this isn't just you experimenting to see what it feels like, because I won't be anyone's experiment."
Emily shook her head vigorously, "This isn't an experiment, I really do like you Beca."
Beca nodded, "Are you ready to let people know that you are either a lesbian or bisexual, because I refuse to hide in a closet anymore. I'm proud of who I date and I want them to be proud to be dating me."
Emily nodded, "I don't care if people know that I'm dating you."
Beca looked at her sternly, "Even your parents?"
Emily looked at her lap, rubbing her hands together, "I'm scared to tell them, I don't know how they'll take it."
Beca lifted her head again, "But are you willing to tell them about us if it comes to that?" Emily nodded against Beca's fingers. A slight smile peeked at the corners of Beca's lips as she finished, "Last question, is there something you want to ask me?"
Emily looked confused at Beca's last question until it dawned on her what had started this whole line of questioning, "Ummm, would you like to go on a date with me sometime."
Beca gave an unimpressed look along with a shrug, "Eh, I don't know Ems."
She couldn't hold in her laughter as Emily reached over and pushed the smaller girl into the arm of the couch, "Jerk!"
Beca was still laughing as she pulled the taller girl to her and gave her a light kiss, "Of course I'll go out with you Emily." Then she wrapped her arms around her in a hug, bringing her lips to Emily's ear, "And don't worry about telling your parents. Let's see where this goes before we worry about that step, and when you do I'll be right by your side." Emily nodded against Beca, letting her know she heard. Beca then pulled back and kissed the taller girl's nose.
Emily gave her another small push and immediately dropped her head back into Beca's lap with the biggest smile on her face. She pressed play on the remote as she felt Beca's fingers start to lightly play with her hair again. She thought to herself, "Best. Night. Ever."
