Based on "take your time" by Sam Hunt
I don't know if you were looking at me or not
You probably smile like that all the time
And I don't mean to bother you but
I couldn't just walk by
And not say, "Hi"
It's Friday night and Beca was at the bar by the college yet again. She orders a beer and tips the bartender, turning around in the barstool to listen to someone singing awful karaoke. She checks her phone to see if her friend Jesse responded yet. He was supposed to
meet ten minutes ago. She finds a text from him reading -
Sorry Becaw! Benji is wanting to go to some Star Wars convention he has an extra ticket and wants me to go.
Beca sighed running her hand through her hair. She hated to be in public especially by herself. She took a gulp of her beer then looked up.
That's when she catches her eye. The gorgeous red headed woman who is sitting at a table across from Beca. She is smiling at her, or at least Beca thinks it's directed at her. Beca looks around to see if the redhead could be looking at someone else. The other people around are engaged in their own conversations. That smile was meant for her. Beca feels her face flush a bit but she smiles back at the woman.
Beca somehow works up some courage. She can't pass up this opportunity. She turns back around to the bartender and orders a beer for the redhead. She walks over to the girl.
"Hi" Beca musters to say.
"Hi back" the woman smirks.
"Um. Not sure if you like beer but I got you one" she says nervously handing the beer over.
"Thank you" the redhead smiles again showing her perfectly white teeth. "I'm Chloe by the way."
And I know your name
'Cause everybody in here knows your name
And you're not looking for anything right now
So I don't wanna come on strong
Don't get me wrong
Of course Beca knows who she is because everyone knows that Chloe Beale is the co captain of the Barden Bellas. Beca also knows that Chloe is dating the football quarterback, Tom. She doesn't want to admit those things to the redhead though. Doesn't want to scare her away.
"Beca" she grins.
"So Beca, what brings you over here?"
"Just wondering why a girl like you is at a bar by herself" Beca internally curses herself at how cheesy and stupid that sounded. She covers it by taking a sip of her beer.
"Well I could say the same to you." She winked making Beca feel light headed.
"Actually my friends are on the dance floor waiting for karaoke to finish. I needed some space. My boyfriend and I broke up a week ago. He drunk texted me. Just wanted to think" Chloe shrugs taking a swig of the beer in front of her.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear about the break up. I can leave you with your thoughts." trying to sound sympathetic but inside she's a bit happy this girl is single now. She then gets up to leave, but to her dismay Chloe's hand finds her wrist stopping her from moving.
"Stay?" Chloe asks.
Your eyes are so intimidating
My heart is pounding but
It's just a conversation
No, girl I'm not wasted
You don't know me
I don't know you but I want to
Chloe's eyes are locked on hers. Beca notices how perfectly blue they are. She could easily get lost in them. This thought and the fact that Chloe's fingers are wrapped around her wrist makes her heart beat as fast as a freight train.
Beca reluctantly stays even though she's so nervous her palms are sweating. How could she say no to Chloe Beale, she is the definition of perfection.
"Are you sure? You don't even know me" Beca whispers.
"I know you're sweet enough to buy me a beer and come over to keep me company" Chloe says, her cerulean eyes twinkling.
I don't wanna steal your freedom
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take your time
I don't wanna wreck your Friday
I ain't gonna waste my lines
I don't have to take your heart
I just wanna take your time
They fall into conversation easily. Chloe tells her about how much of a douche Tom is and how badly he treated her. This surprises Beca. She can't believe anyone would treat Chloe anyway other than that of a princess.
Beca tells Chloe about her dream of being a music producer and talks about the mixes she makes. Chloe can't help but be enthralled at how enthusiastic Beca is about her passion for DJing.
After several minutes of talking, Chloe looks over to the dance floor.
"Guess karaoke is finally over," the redhead laughs as her friends are on the dance floor acting crazy.
"You can go catch up with your friends now if you want" Beca replies really hoping Chloe would rather stay, which is silly to think that this peppy girl would want to stick around to talk to her instead of dance with her friends.
"I can catch up with them in a little bit" she flashed that winning smile of hers again, making Beca's heart melt even more.
"Really?" Beca asks surprised.
"Really." Chloe confirms.
And I know it starts with "Hello"
And the next thing you know you're trying to be nice
And some guys getting too close
Trying to pick you up
Trying to get you drunk
Beca goes for more drinks and brings them back to the table. Maybe they've had one too many. Both of them keep having fits of laughter and they have moved closer to one another. Beca swears Chloe's foot rubs up her leg a few times.
Beca Mitchell doesn't flirt, but with alcohol in her system she finds it a lot easier than expected. What surprises her the most is the fact that Chloe is flirting back.
She watches Chloe as the redhead bats her eyelashes at her sensually. Which causes Beca to do something she never ever does.
"Dance with me?" Beca asks.
And I'm sure one of your friends is about to come over here
'Cause she's supposed to save you from random guys
That talk too much and wanna stay too long
It's the same old song and dance but I think you know it well
Chloe smiles widely practically dragging Beca to the dance floor. Beca's eyes widen when Chloe starts to grind on her. Chloe reaches back and her fingers slide through Beca's hair. Beca can only moan as she feels Chloe grind into her again.
"Chloe! What're you doing?" Someone startles them both out of dancing.
"Oh hey Aubrey. I'm just dancing with Beca. She's really nice" Chloe slurs a bit still a bit intoxicated.
"Really? You just broke up with Tom last week." Aubrey looks at Beca up and down sternly. "What are your intentions?" This time the question is directed at Beca.
"Uh, I've no intentions. I was just getting to know Chloe and help cheer her up" Beca rambles nervously.
"I can see your toner from across the room" Aubrey retorts.
Beca snorts "Toner?"
"It's okay Bree really" Chloe smiles. Aubrey just rolls her eyes and walks away.
"Do you want to keep dancing?" Beca asks Chloe.
You could've rolled your eyes
Told me to go to hell
Could've walked away
But you're still here
And I'm still here
Come on let's see where it goes
Almost immediately Beca is dancing with Chloe again. The song suddenly changes.
"This song is my jam!" Chloe whispers in Beca's ear. "My lady jam" causing Beca to complete freeze.
Then Chloe is grinding on Beca again and their dancing turns a bit sexual, but not enough to look like they are doing it in the middle of the dance floor.
The song ends and Chloe says something about having to go to the bathroom. Beca follows after her.
I don't wanna steal your freedom
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take your time
I don't have to meet your mother
We don't have to cross that line
I don't wanna steal your covers
I just wanna take your time
The bathroom door closed behind them. Chloe really did have to go to the bathroom so Beca waited. When Chloe was finished she looked in the mirror to fix her makeup. Beca couldn't help but stare. Chloe was absolutely gorgeous. She tried to hide that she was staring by holding her phone up and pretending to text.
"I know you're watching" Chloe's eyes meet her through the mirror as Chloe applies more lipstick.
"I'm so not" Beca blushed obviously lying.
"Well, maybe I was hoping you were" Chloe winked before heading out of the bathroom.
I don't wanna go home with you
I just wanna be alone with you
I don't wanna steal your freedom
I don't wanna change your mind
I don't have to make you love me
I just wanna take your time
Beca walked out of the bathroom following Chloe who happened to slip out of the side door.
"Where are you going?" Beca asked confused.
"I just wanted some fresh air. I want to sober up a little" Chloe admitted.
"Oh okay should I leave you alone now?" Beca played with her fingers nervously.
Chloe walked up to Beca looking into her eyes. "I want you to do what you've been wanting to from the moment we started talking."
"What're you talking about?" Beca frowned her eyebrows creasing.
Chloe slowly tilted Beca's chin up their eyes still locked on one another's. Beca's breathing hitched. Then she boldly made the move to press her lips against the redheads softly. She sighed when Chloe kissed back parting her lips slightly allowing Beca's tongue to slip inside her mouth.
Beca broke the kiss needing air.
"That was" Beca started to say.
"Yes. Wow." Chloe beamed.
"There you are Chloe!" Aubrey shouted. "I've been looking for you and the hobbit everywhere"
"Hobbit. Really?" Beca rolled her eyes.
"Aubrey be nice please" Chloe shook her head.
"Come on Stacie got us a cab" Aubrey walked off leaving them to say goodbye.
"Soo.." Beca said pretty embarrassed.
"Well. Aren't you gonna ask for my number" Chloe smirked handing her a napkin with her number written on it.
Chloe gave Beca a quick peck on the cheek before turning to walk away.
"You better text me. I'm looking forward to our first date" Chloe looked back giving one last week.
Beca stood speechless not believing what happened to her. She's gotta tell Jesse she thinks to herself while saving Chloe's number and texting her so Chloe will have hers.
I don't wanna blow your phone up
I just wanna blow your mind
I don't have to take your heart
I just wanna take your time
No, I ain't gotta call you baby
And I ain't gotta call you mine
I don't have to take your heart
I just wanna take
