For Good: Chapter 11

Beca slowly lets go of Chloe, making sure they don't lose eye contact.

Chloe's heart is hammering into her chest at a speed that cannot be healthy. She's almost certain that Beca can hear it or at least can feel it but is ignoring it. The redhead notices that Beca is trying to say something but no words are coming out.

A few moments later Beca manages to make a coherent sentence.

"This is the best birthday I've had in a very long time, thank you." Beca lets out a breathy chuckle. "Sorry, that sounded lame."

"No it didn't, I'm glad you like it."

Beca now does let go and shakes her head frantically looking around the room once more. "Like it? I love it Chlo…" Looking through some of the notes she wrote years ago a stray tears finds its way down her cheek. "I uhm I can't believe you kept all this stuff." Letting out a soft laugh when she finally looks back at Chloe. "Especially the jacket, I forgot how good it looked on you."

Chloe's cheeks turn bright red matching her hair. The redhead looks down at her feet not really knowing how to react to what Beca just said. The brunette cups Chloe's chin with her thumb and index finger making her look up again.

Neither is sure how to proceed from this point. Only one of them has to lean forward slightly and their lips would meet for a kiss but both know that before that can happen they would need to talk about… them. The two clear their throat at the same time, bursting into laughter.

"As much as I want to kiss you right now, we should talk?"

Chloe nods and points to the couch behind her.

Taking the redhead's hand Beca leads them to the couch so they can sit down. Not letting go of Chloe's hands Beca turns to face her. "I kissed you, before you start panicking, I do not regret it and as you know I want to do it again."

Chloe nods but does not dare to say anything just yet.

"But I need us to be on the same page. We need to start building up our trust again. So I want us to start over again, like you know… Do you want to go out on a 'second' first date? Starting over."

Suddenly Beca is really nervous. Performing in front of thousands of people she's fine – asking Chloe out on a date and her hands are clammy, and her entire body is tense.

"I would love that."

Chloe's genuine smile and light squeeze into Beca's hand make the brunette relax slightly.

"That's great…but I know that look. You have a question, right?" Chloe chuckles.

"I actually have a list." Beca rolls her eyes playfully.

"Okay, I'm all ears."

Taking a deep breath Chloe finds the courage to ask her questions.

"Alright, why did you choose today out of all days to introduce me to Laura Hayes? What was up with all that miss Mitchell stuff at the club and talking about the club, how long have you been DJ-ing there? Do you know the owner or something? Please don't hate me for this one but I asked miss Hayes if you still have nightmares, I didn't mean to pry but I had to know. And are you sure you want me to keep living here?"

Beca gapes at the rambling redhead before her holding up her hands in hope that she slows down right when she finishes her last sentence.

"Wow."The brunette breathes out.

"Okay, I'm going to answer the easy questions first… You meeting Laura was way overdue and I know that if you knew you were going to meet her you'd be freaking out."

Taking a moment to think about the second question she wants to answer Beca looks down at her hands. "I'm not mad at you for asking her about my nightmares, if you feel more comfortable talking to her I can give her the okay and you can ask her all the questions you want about me. The reason I went to her in the first place was so I could maybe one day find the courage and talk to you about it but no luck so far."

Beca chuckles while Chloe just stares at her. "Oookay moving on… uhm I am the owner of the club, I always wanted to that. I finished my business degree, and a little over a year ago I bought the space and turned it into the club you saw tonight. No one knows I own the place, people only know I DJ every Thursday and Friday."

Chloe's eyes shoot up at the revelation. "Are you for real? OMG that so amazing Becs, I'm so proud of you!" The redhead jumps into Beca's arms making them both tumble of the couch.

The brunette groans in pain but laughs it off quickly. She tucks a strand of hair from Chloe's eyes behind her ear, looking up at the beautiful girl on top of her.

"And as for you living here… I don't want to spend another moment apart from you. Please don't go?"

Chloe leans in and ghosts her lips over Beca's. "I'm not going anywhere."

This was everything Beca needed to hear in that moment, lifting her head she captures Chloe's lips. The kiss is sweet and simple. There is no need to hurry.


Beca managed to convince Chloe to move to the couch.

"I'm going to grab a blanket, be back soon." She softly whispers, kissing the redhead on her forehead.

Chloe mumbles something but Beca doesn't quiet catch it.

When she returns a few minutes later and finds Chloe asleep with a smile. She doesn't have the heart to wake her up, so Beca covers the redhead with a blanket and checks the time. It's a little before 3 AM and she doesn't feel tired yet so she quietly makes her way to her home studio. Maybe some inspiration might hit her.

It's close to 8 AM when Chloe wakes up with a jolt. For a moment she panics because she doesn't remember where she is. But once she gets used to the light and looks around she realizes that she's on Beca's couch. She doesn't remember falling asleep there, she does remember the little make out session they had one the floor.

"The floor!" Chloe turns around and looks down but no sign of Beca can be found. "Maybe she went to bed?" She thinks. She stretches and gets up to make some coffee.

In the kitchen Chloe notices that a new pot was made recently, which means that Beca either got up not so long ago or…

"She never went to bed." With a sigh she goes on a search of the brunette, making a first stop at her bedroom.

No Beca.

Next stop was the shower, she listens intensly hoping to hear the water running but yet again. No Beca.

Suddenly Chloe hears faint music coming from down the hall so she follows the sound. The closer she gets the clearer the words become.


Please say you'll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you'll hold
A place for me
In your heart

A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart

Chloe gently pushes the door open to reveal Beca in the clothes she was wearing the night before, behind the piano singing a song she does not recognize.

"Morning."

Chloe almost drops her mug, not having expected that Beca would notice her.

"Uhm morning?"

Beca gets up and walks over to the redhead. "Did I wake you?" Beca lets out a relieved breath when Chloe shakes her head.

"Beautiful song."

Beca chuckles and waves Chloe over to the piano.

"It's something new, I finished it about an hour ago."

Beca takes the mug out of Chloe's hands and places it on top of the piano. "Do you want to sing with me?"

With a grin Chloe nods and sits down next to the brunette. She listens to the tune Beca is playing and quickly realizes what she's playing. So without any hesitation Chloe starts singing.

Chloe
Oh, her eyes, her eyes,
make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Beca
(I was thinking bout her, thin-kin bout me)
I know, I know
(Thin-kin bout us, what we gon' be)
Chloe
when I compliment her she won't believe me
Beca
(Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream)
it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
Chloe
But every time she asks me do I look ok,
Beca
(It's only just a dream)
Chloe
I say

When I see your face
Beca
(So I travelled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows)
Chloe
There's Not a thing that I would change
Beca
(I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream)
Chloe
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
Beca
(it was only Just A Dream)

Chloe
When I see your face
Beca
(So I travelled back, down that road

Chloe

Beca

Chloe
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are
Beca
(it was only Just A Dream)

Chloe
When I see your face

"I missed this." Beca's voice is the one that breaks the comfortable silence.

"Me too."

Chloe averts her gaze to the keys of the piano.

"Do you want to go get some breakfast?" Beca bumps her shoulder into Chloe's to make her look at her. "I'm starving."

Chloe lets out a laugh.

"You're always starving Mitchell."

The DJ shrugs. "So that's a yes?"

Chloe nods.

"Great, let me take a shower first."

Chloe chuckles at the overly enthusiastic antics that are Beca Mitchell.

"Lets meet in the living room in an hour, that gives me time to take a shower too."

Beca wants to comment on it but quickly decides against it, it's not the time, not yet.


Beca is waiting for Chloe to come down. Her stomach is heavily protesting the lack of food. She throws a ball for Ella to bring back to her to kill time.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry I'm ready."

Chloe runs in while trying to get her jacket on.

"Relax Chlo."

Beca gets up from the floor and grabs Ella's leash.

"We don't have a schedule today."

Ella is circling the girls yapping excitedly.

"Alright baby girl, we're going." The brunette attaches the leash to the collar and opens the door for Chloe.

"So, where are we going?" Chloe asks linking her arm with Beca's out of habit.

"Well, I was thinking of going to my favorite breakfast place not far from here and after I'd show you around the city? I mean you haven't really been sightseeing yet so I thought maybe you'd like that?"

"I would love that… ooooh can we go for a walk in the park too?"

Beca playfully rolls her eyes.

"Whatever you want."

Chloe squeals and makes a little jump.

"We're here – The Rolling Scones – I come here every day."

Chloe watches the Beca's eyes light up while talking about the different things they have.

"So, do you want to go in?"

"Yes, I can't wait to see what this place has in store."

Beca opens the door and lets Chloe in, following quickly with Ella.

"Beca you're back! Should I get you your usual?"

The brunette shakes her head. "Not yet mister Cimorelli, thank you. How's your wife?"

Chloe watches the interaction between the two with a smile.
