"Hey all! So sorry for being late, was stuck in rehearsals, time just goes way too quickly!" Chloe smiled brightly to those standing in the room. There wasn't many, probably around 15 or so and among those stood a striking brunette that took her attention almost immediately.

Their eyes met for a brief moment before the brunette's eyes diverted to somewhere else, which only made her smile increase.

William stood beside Chloe as she made her way around the room shaking hands with all those and taking photos. Signing some CD's and other things they had brought with them she finally made her way to the back of the pack finding the brunette.

Beca thought she looked even more beautiful in person. She had listened to Chloe's music many times over and had even mixed some of them together on the new mixing equipment Stacie had bought her a while back.

She couldn't believe it when Stacie showed her the perfectly forged passes just yesterday. Completely against going, Beca couldn't fool herself and allowed Stacie to pull her to the Planet Hollywood hotel where she would be performing. She wanted to be there, it was normal to be a fan of someone else, though Beca never thought that she would ever meet Chloe Beale in person.

"Hi."

Beca snapped out of her thoughts at the sweet voice and smiled despite her nerves.

Really I'm nervous about this?... So weird.

"Hi?" Chloe tried again.

"Sorry." Beca nervously chuckled and Stacie tried to contain the huge smirk threatening to spill over her lips, "I'm Beca and this is Stacie."

Chloe flicked her eyes to the taller brunette, "I'm Chloe, it's very nice to meet you."

"You've only just met me." Beca voiced.

Chloe quirked her eyebrow and mouth at the comment, "Yes and already I find it nice to have met you!" she smiled.

"Well that's good, the feeling is mutual." Beca returned the smile and both girls chuckled.

"How about I get a photo of the both of you?" Stacie held her iPhone out.

William stepped forward, "Here I can take the photo so you can get in there too."

Stacie smiled and handed him the phone, standing on Chloe's left and Beca on her right.

Chloe slipped her arms around the woman's backs and smiled at the camera.

Beca relished in the warm feeling of Chloe's arm around her, and so did Chloe. Both slowly inching away once the photo was taken.

Stacie collected the phone, "Oh too cute! You can just crop me out Beca and frame it."

Beca's eyes narrowed at the woman and let out a breathy laugh to pass her sisters comment.

Chloe laughed also, turning to make short conversation till she had to move on, "Are you both joining for the tour? We're going around backstage."

"Uh-… yeah I think so." Beca looked to Stacie who nodded.

"Oh she wouldn't miss it!" Stacie mused.

The question itched at the front of Chloe's mind and couldn't contain it to herself, wanting more than anything to know; "So are you both friends or…?"

"She's my annoying older sister." Beca informed.

Chloe felt relieved, Wait what? I'm relieved? She confused by strong emotion towards the smaller brunette, "Oh okay then." She laughed.

Chloe then turned to everyone else in the room, "Well if you will all follow me, I'll take you for a tour around backstage and onstage! See where it all happens And how!" and she eagerly led them down the many hallways.

Beca remained at the back of the pack with Stacie, who was smirking like an idiot at her.

"What Stacie?"

"I think she might just like you shorty B."

She rolled her eyes at the terrible nickname, "She likes everyone here Stace. She's just got this bubbly personality-… interesting tour…" Beca caught herself in the beginnings of rambling about the red head.

Stacie decided to move on for now and focus on the positive, "This is nice though are you enjoying yourself?"

"Yeah I am. It is a good B'day present Stace."

"Good. Sorry I couldn't actually forge some tickets though. There would be nowhere for us to sit. This bitches' concert sold out months ago, before I even knew she would be here in Vegas."

Beca let out a breathy laugh at Stacie's words, but more so how the word bitch in reference to Chloe (although used innocently) irked her.

"She's a popular one that's for sure." Beca's attention changed when they neared the stage, her eyes scanning the entire area, which the naturally did.

"So this is where the performing all happens! What your step though guys! Setting up is still going on and there are wires everywhere!" Chloe ushered them past her into the open stage, waiting for Beca to pass her, giving a small smile as she did so before she followed.

"Enjoying the tour?"

Beca snapped her eyes beside her finding Chloe, "Yeah it's a large… concert… place."

Chloe laughed, loving how the brunette was shy yet could be outspoken. Her awkward way with words sometimes made her grin, it was weird but Chloe just summed it to having a fast connection with the girl.

"The capacity is about 5,000 people." Chloe informed walking alongside Beca.

"Wow, you're going to be performing in front of 5 thousand people."

The redhead chuckled and Beca quickly found it one of the best sounds she'd ever heard, "That's right, and you will be one of them!"

"Oh uh, Stacie and I are only here for the tour. Missed out on those tickets."

Chloe's smile faltered, "Oh…" her tone was filled with disappointment.

"But that's okay, I-… I'm having a really great time on this tour of yours." Beca smiled.

"You are?" Chloe asked hopefully.

"Of course, you're a great tour guide. Well kind of… everyone is kind of waiting for you to continue." Beca tilted her head gesturing that she looks and Chloe's gaze fell upon those waiting.

Chloe felt a blush creep up onto her cheeks from spending a bit too much time with the brunette and with a small smile back at Beca, made her way to the front again. Chloe went on to talk about the stage arrangements, design, lights and some other stuff contributing to the show.

Stacie had watched the pair and was already astonished at how easily the usual closed off sister of hers was conversing with Chloe. Sending the photo off her phone to Beca's, Stacie also typed, 'Your new wallpaper. Probably minus me, but that's okay. I forgive you x'

Beca had been looked around at the large LED screens and platforms around the area until she felt a small buzz in her pocket, pulling her phone out she opened the photo and saved it before reading the text message. Beca narrowed her glare at the side of Stacie's head who tried to suppress the smirk whilst feigning interest in some tech equipment.

The tour went on for about an hour discussing the show, though not much to give away any spoilers and answered any questions. Before they knew it, the time for the tour came to its end.

Security had of course attended the group the entire time, ready to usher them back to the exit and Chloe made her way around the group to say goodbye.

"Thank you all so much! It really was a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope you enjoy the show!" her thoughts changed to Beca and that she wouldn't be attending. Chloe wouldn't normally but was ready to walk the group out, not yet ready to say goodbye to one girl in particular.

Chloe stopped to a woman calling out her name and spun around to the person.

"Hey Chloe! We need to go over the dance for the mid section of the show for lighting." Jessica ran up to her along with Aubrey, "They really need to go through it now." Aubrey insisted.

"Oh um-" Chloe turned but her stomach sunk seeing that the group was already leaving, and Beca turned to give her a faint smile before disappearing down the hallway.

"Chloe?"

"Yeah-yeah sorry. Okay are the other girls ready?"

"They better be." Aubrey who is the choreographer informed, "Let's go ladies in your positions for song 9 please!" she clapped her hands to hustle them along.

Jessica went over to Chloe whilst Aubrey got the girls in position, "Hey a few of us are thinking of going out later, you keen?"

"Definitely, I haven't been out in I don't know how long!" Chloe laughed.

"Ladies? Care to join us please?" Aubrey voiced.

Both of them smirked at each other like school children before they went into their spots.

Beca hit the body in a flurry of strikes that connected. Her body was thick with sweat and lost track of time with how long she had been working out on the wooden dummy in front of her. Hitting in timed combinations using her forearm, elbow and open palm she also defended with parries and kicks to the lower extended wooden leg.

Wiping away the sweat from her forehead Beca turned to see her phone ringing.

Swiping it open she breathed, "Yeah?"

"Beca? It's Jesse, have I caught you at a bad time?"

"No-no I'm just at the… gym"

"Oh well, we need you here in the bar tonight and require you to come in early if possible. It's going to be busy tonight."

"Yeah-.. yeah I'll be there." Beca exhaled still catching her breath.

"Okay, see you soon then."

"Yeahp see you then." Beca hung up and looked around the large studio, she sighed, not wanting to leave to go to work. Her mind was preoccupied with the red head. She was as every bit sweet that Beca had thought she would be and on some weird plane felt at ease around the woman. A woman she barely knows and will probably never see again.

Regardless she stepped into the walk in bathroom from the small bedroom and had a shower. After dressing into a top, leather jacket and jeans, packing her work clothes along with some others into her duffle bag, she swung it securely around her body and went downstairs into the garage. Hopping onto the 2014 Yamaha FJR1300E black and gold colour trimmed bike, she placed her helmet on and revved the bike to life and once the garage door rose, drove to work. It wasn't all that far and with having a bike it allowed her to easily maneuver around traffic.

Pulling up at the security boom gate Beca swiped her keycard for underground parking access for staff and parked the bike. Taking off her helmet and pulling her hair up into a ponytail she walked into the elevator and pressed level 3. Once the doors opened she walked out and into the narrow hallway used for office purposes and went straight through to the nightclub.

Beca immediately heard his voice before she saw him. Pushing the door open and making her way to where Jesse was prepping the other bartenders and staff, Beca took her place behind them to listen in.

"Okay so tonight we will all be very, very busy! Calvin Harris will be playing here tonight so it's expected for it to be quite crazy! You know the gist of things by now but I repeat; If there are any issues, press 2 on your walkie talkies and they will assist you; Make sure you are working! Help out others if you are quiet in your own area, though I doubt it will be quiet; And once it comes time to finishing your shifts… well tonight we might just need everyone on deck here, so please contact me first.

Another thing, all our V.I.P areas in the Main Room and Mezzanine are booked tonight, no surprise there, so all of the girls hosting those areas! PLEASE! Make sure the drink orders are being delivered to them within 10 minutes or less, no longer."

Jesse named all those bartenders assigned into their area for the night, Beca only listening once her name was called to be in the Main Room and she nodded in reply. Telling them to go get ready Beca walked out back into the large staff area and women's locker room. Placing all her things in the locker she swiped her phone open to see the picture of Chloe and herself in the background, but the screen soon changed to Stacie's name calling in.

"Hey."

"Hello happy! Just calling in before I start my shift, are you starting soon?"

"Yeahp, going to be a long night I think. Pretty cool though, will get to listen to Calvin Harris whilst I work."

"Oh he's sexy! My night is going to be long also… they've got me running to all kinds of events tonight to overview everything is going along accordingly." Stacie sighed. She worked at the MGM Grand in hotel operations and Casino operations. They were quickly impressed with how Stacie was able to take on so many roles, and gave her a promotion not long after she had started.

Beca wasn't surprised, her sister always had a talent for taking on many different roles, and sometimes she worked better under pressure.

"Have fun with that."

"Right back at ya! You'll be coming home tonight?"

"Barely a home Stacie-"

"Hey! It's got a bed, bathroom, four walls and a roof. Other people have less, be grateful. We could've bought somewhere better but remember the whole 'blending in' thing?"

Beca sighed, "Yeah, yeah I know."

"Really? Because that new motorcycle you bought says differently B." Stacie chided.

"It was a birthday gift to myself. If anyone asks I'll say it's inheritance-" Beca had been speaking quietly but the locker room started to become a lot more busy with the other girls getting ready, "Look I gotta go. I'll talk to you in the morning?"

"Yes, but please let me sleep in for at least a while! Tonight is going to knock me!" Stacie whined.

Beca smirked, "Yeahp same goes for me. I'll see you later on in the day. Have a fantastic night!" she sarcastically added before hanging up.

Changing into her work clothes and checking her outfit out in the mirror, Beca huffed. It wasn't her choice in being a bartender, she'd opted for security or something in the restaurant but managers found her more suited to become a bartender. The other women bartenders and hostesses were gorgeous, they had asked Beca to be a hostess but refused. Not comfortable in the red dress she would have to wear Beca opted for the bar.

The bartender outfit was a tight fitting crop top and shorts that were appropriate. Leaving her hair pulled up into the ponytail she made her way out and into the bar to prep everything for the long night ahead.

"Chloeeee! We're going to be late!" Jess whined.

"Jess, the club is just down the road, like literally a 5 minute walk." Chloe was in the bathroom applying the last touches to her make up.

"We're so not walking. Not when I'm wearing heels!" Jess stated who was sitting on Chloe's hotel room bed, "Seriously though the limo is waiting downstairs."

"Okay, okay! Geez someone is keen!" Chloe stated, flicking the bathroom light off on her way out. Chloe wore a simple navy blue dress and heels.

"Damn straight! I've near got the dance performance for the show seared into my brain. I won't be surprised if I do it in my sleep!" Jess joked, "Aubrey can be relentless. Therefore I'm ready to get out there on the dance floor tonight and let loose!" Jess jumped up from the bed and followed to the kitchen finishing off their fourth glass of wine before leaving.

They joined the other women downstairs, "Let's go!" all of them cheering before climbing into the limo.

Dropped off at the front all of the ladies were ushered inside straight to their V.I.P area.

Chloe smiled and gave waves to those that called her name in greeting and cheers. The music was loud and the vibrations reverberated up through her chest. The nightclub was beyond packed and Chloe guessed it would be if the line around front gave any indication.

Once at the table the host whose badge said Holly greeted them offering the chilled wine that had been waiting. Pouring them all a glass the women sat down and chatted for a while.

"You're on the hunt tonight aren't you?" Chloe yelled to Jess.

Jessica had been a long time friend and dancer in her shows. Basically best friends they had moved in together in Chloe's large apartment in L.A. Both clicked in their friendship instantly and the media saw this as 'more than friends?' which Chloe declined. The media had since moved on after realizing they were just friends, but would always be on the pop star if seen with anyone new, wondering if this was a potential girlfriend or boyfriend.

Chloe had stated very early on in her career that she was bi-sexual, that love is love and she would date whom she wanted to. Though it had been a long time since Chloe had dated, the large tours she had been on just didn't give her anytime to meet anyone.

"Are you kidding? Of course! I'm so incredibly horny aren't you?" Jessica yelled back into her ear only so Chloe could hear.

This was normal for Jessica to just speak her mind, "So what you're going to have a one night stand?"

Jessica eagerly nodded, then shrugged, "It has been way too long since I have gotten some. Desperate as that sounds I can only entertain myself for so long, I can only imagine how you feel."

Chloe let out a big laugh, "Oh my god Jess!" she swatted the girl's arm playfully.

"Pah-lease Miss Beale!" Jess gave a knowing glare, "So obvious for how you were looking at that short brunette earlier today in that tour. You wanted her bad."

"Jess she was just a fan. A hot fan, yes, but just a fan… I'll probably never see her again." Chloe shrugged as if not caring but did so more than she would like to admit to herself.

Jess nodded and took a long mouthful of her wine before they all chatted for a while before deciding it was time to hit the dance floor.

Chloe decided to stay behind not wanting to be squished in the overwhelming crowd right now, urging Jess go on ahead.

"I'll be back soon!" Jess yelled.

Chloe nodded and smile before most of them went off just leaving a couple of the other girls with her, which she conversed with. Chloe's eyes scanned the large club only having been here a few times a long time ago. She continued to drink, bob her head and sway to the music whilst seated on the V.I.P couch.

"Hey! Hey! Can I get some service?!... HEY?!"

Beca's eyes scanned up to the rude man yelling over the bar towards another bartender who was full with drink orders.

"Here you are." Beca smiled to the people in front of her as she placed the drinks up on the counter and collected the money. Turning around to the till her eyes scanned down to the other area to still see the man yelling. Once returning the change Beca held her finger up to those in front with a wink, "Be right back!"

"Jenny." Beca made a gesture to the other bartender that she was leaving her spot for 5 seconds and the woman nodded that she could handle it.

Beca could've called for security but chose to handle the situation herself.

Quickly she went over to the other area in front of the man, "Keep acting the way you are, and we'll have security escort you out!"

"Fuck, I just want you to get me a drink bitch!" Clearly the man was overly intoxicated.

"You're cut off! Now leave before I have someone throw you out!" Beca eyes burned into his and flipped her off before walking away.

Fuck sakes.

Beca returned to her own area and continued serving. She had been on shift for around 5 hours and had to compose herself from jumping over the counter at some of the rude drunk people. Luckily it was time for her break, which wasn't long but needed to go to the bathroom.

Leaving the bar another girl filled her spot for the meantime, and she made her way to the staff area. Going up the stairs past the V.I.P area, a man tried to grab her ass but Beca turned and swatted his hand away, hard.

"OW!" The man was shocked by how quick she had reacted, his friends laughed at the snap rejection.

Beca rolled her eyes, You're lucky I didn't break your hand.

"Holly could we get some more wine plea-…" Chloe's voice wavered when her eyes locked onto a brunette over the blonde hostess shoulder.

"Certainly Miss Beale, I'll be right back."

Chloe just nodded and made her way out of the V.I.P area.

"Chloe where are you going?" one of the accompanying women asked.

"I'll be right back!" she called back before turning to find the brunette already out of sight.

Maybe I've had a bit too much to drink…. It looked like her.

Get a hold of yourself Beale.

A/N - Thank you! Great to see the fast interest. I'm probably going to update daily for the next few days. This won't be a long story... I think lol.
