I Will Never Stop Loving You
Chapter 8
Beca got back to the hotel and set up a work station, curtains closed, a pile of notes on one side, with an open can of red bull and a 'back up' incase she gets too tired on top, her travel mixing board on the other, and her big, very expensive headphones. These headphones were her pride and joy, she wouldn't let anyone touch them, she would keep them securely around her neck most of the time, unless she was using them. As soon as she put her headphones over her ears and put the song on, she was in her own bubble, her own world, her paradise.
She had been working for about three hours, she had possibly worked out the chord progression, but that'll be discussed further in meetings. Sent a few emails and checked her phone about a hundred times, no messages. Well, none that she thinks are important at the moment. None from Chloe. She stood up and paced around the room, checked her phone again and looked at all the texts from various people, deciding against replying to any and so continued to pace.
Why am I doing this? Chloe's really busy. She can't just stop working to text you. You can have dinner later. JUST CHILL THE FUCK OUT!
Beca was starting to get annoyed at herself. Why was she feeling so clingy?
She took a deep breath, when there was a sharp knock on the door, she spun around so quickly she stubbed her toe on the leg of the table.
"FUCKING SHIT URGGHHH! JUST COMING!" she shouted, she hobbled over to the door and opened it to find room service on the other side
"I didn't order anything…" Beca said confused, looking at the tray with a silver cover over it
"Oh, yes, Miss Mitchell, this is from Miss Beale… There is a note" The young man said handing an envelope to Beca. She stepped aside allowing the man past, he walked in and looked around for a space to put the tray, since Beca had pretty much taken over the whole of the dining table with her laptop and work stuff, he just stood in the middle of the room awkwardly
"Oh! Sorry! Let me move this" Beca says moving the pile of notes and now two crumpled cans of red bull on to the floor, leaving just enough space for the tray. The tray was placed down, Beca gave the man a couple of dollars then closed the door behind him. She looked at the envelope, seeing Chloe's cursive handwriting she quickly ripped it open.
We've had this discussion before,
you can't survive on Red Bull alone
I got your favourite
Love C xxx
Beca smiled at the note, she walked over to the table and lifted the silver lid, to find a bag of Taco Bell. Laughing she sat down and unwrapped her food. As she was eating she opened Twitter on her phone, looking through it she decided to upload a selfie with her Taco Bell. After her meal, she felt like should reset her mind, so when she came back to her work she could find any 'faults' with ease. She put her headphones on and put her phone on shuffle. She lay down and heard the sweet sounds of Mama Cass singing "Dream a Little Dream of Me" sleep quickly flowed over her body, dreaming little dreams of Chloe.
Beca jerked awake by her phone ringing loudly through her headphones, she pulled them off, the residue of the harsh sounds still bouncing through her brain, she sat for a minute before realising she had to answer her phone.
"Hello?" Her voice was croaky as it always was after she just woke up (one of Chloe's favourite sounds)
"Beca! Where are you?"
"Oh hey Jemma, wassup?"
"Where are you?" the PR guru repeated
"Umm… why?" Beca asked, wondering if she had to lie to get out of trouble
"God dammit Beca! Just answer the fucking question!" She shouted back
"Urgh! Fine I'm in Vegas! Happy?"
"Why didn't you tell me? I asked all round the office but no one knew where you were! I tried to ring Chloe but she's not answering, I only found out when Taylor came in!"
"Why didn't you ask Kelly? I told her where I was going! I was actually kind of responsible for once!" trying to defend herself
"Because, Miss Responsible, Kelly takes Saturday afternoons off! " Jemma asks exasperated
"Oh…"
"Yeah"
"Anyway what do you want? 'Cause I thing you broke the money makers by calling me"
"The money makers?"
"Yeah… my ears dip shit!"
"Right… When you're not around I forget how insane you are! Anyway, I found out you are in Vegas and because I'm amazing and know everything I knew that Bruno was performing out there this weekend. So I talked to his people and told them you were in town and they jumped at the opportunity to work with Beca effin' Mitchell!"
"NO WAY! Jemma you are amazing!"
"I know right! So you're doing whatever you music people do tomorrow morning"
"Thank you so much!"
"Just doing what I do best… So be ready by 10, I'll send a car, just text me where you're staying"
"No problem, by the way, I really appreciate it" Beca said honestly
"I know, why are you out there anyway?"
"I was just being the perfect girlfriend and surprising Chloe"
"Aww that is so cute! I bet she loved that"
"Yeah, earned me some major brownie points!" Beca joked
"Well I'll let you get back to… whatever you're doing… lord knows what you get up to when you're alone!"
"Jemma Peterson, what are you insinuating?"
"Who? Me? Nothing dear! Speak soon"
"Bye" Beca signed off before hanging up. She stood up and walked over to the table, picking up a pen and wrote "Bruno 10" on her hand because she has a memory like a sieve and would probably forget.
She checked the time, 5:04 PM, Chloe is probably finishing soon ish maybe? She thought. Beca took a chair from the table and put it next to a window looking out across the city, she sat down looking over the skyscrapers all around her, with the odd sense of beauty she finds in the architecture, the sun shining down the streets, she can't help but think of Chloe. How against all odds her smile and love shines though, like the sun shining through the buildings and down the streets. Beca knew Chloe would call as soon as she could, and she was so proud of her achievements, but at times like these she really missed her, and wished they could just stay with each other.
It wasn't long before she got a call from Chloe, Beca grinned ear to ear just hearing her voice
"Hey Becs!"
"Chlo, I've missed you so much"
"It's only been a day!" Chloe said cherishing the moment of innocence from her girlfriend
"I know but I've just been a bit lonely, you know…"
"yeah but I'm on my way back now, I'm about 10 mins away depending on traffic, and then… oh hang on a sec…" Beca was left straining to hear what was going on
"Sorry Becs, I've gotta talk to someone about tomorrow, I'll see you in a bit"
"Bye…" Beca said lightly, but Chloe had already hung up
Beca sighed, and looked around the empty room, she suddenly got a jolt of inspiration for part of a song she was working on with Ed Sheeran, she grabbed a pen and a bit of paper and started scribbling down some notes in her illegible scrawl. She put her hands on her head and paused for a moment, looking down at her notes, this was one of her favourite feelings, the 'this is going to change everything" feeling, mixed with pure excitement. She sat down and got to work, her hands moving quickly against the mixing board and keyboard. The producer was quickly absorbed onto her computer not noticing the time fly by.
An hour later the door to the hotel room was unlocked and Chloe walked in, she scanned the room before her eyes focused on the hunched figure at the table, smiling she walked over and saw Beca's notes unable to decipher them. She slipped her arms around Beca's waist and kissed her neck. Beca jumped at the contact before relaxing into Chloe's embrace, she tugged her headphones off and stood up looking into Chloe's eyes for a second before pulling her into hug, Beca soaked in the scent that is very much Chloe and snuggled into the crook of her neck.
"I'm so sorry" Chloe whispered. Beca stepped back and looked at her girlfriend quizzically
"Umm… Ok… What for?" she asked. Chloe looked at her dumbfounded
"I'm really late! I said I would be 10 minutes but that was like an hour ago. I got caught up in some stuff and before I knew it I was really late…" Chloe's voice faded
"Chlo… chill out, its fine I've been working and I've made real progress on this one track…" Beca explained turning to point at the mess of her work station, before tuning back and reaching out for Chloe's hands "…and I get it, sometimes you just get caught in the moment" Beca searched for Chloe's eyes to reassure her
"Ok?" Beca asked
"Ok."
Beca pulled Chloe to the bed, and lay down Chloe on her back and Beca with her head on the redheads shoulder
"So how was your day?" Beca asked, holding Chloe close
"Just normal, but I had this fight scene… It's just like me and Ryan shouting at each other… and it was really hard because we get on well and I don't shout very much… yunno?"
"Yeah you do that 'I'm not angry I'm just disappointed voice' that I hate" Beca shivered at the thought of Chloe being angry at her, her big blue eyes that just look sad and hurt.
"Exactly, so it was quite difficult to get to that place, to make it realistic" Chloe explained, as Beca nodded in agreement. They lay in comfortable silence for a few minutes, Beca tracing light patterns on Chloe's arms, before long she felt Chloe's breathing slow and get deeper. Beca lifted her head slightly, finding Chloe sound asleep. Beca chuckled and sat up, carefully taking off Chloe's shoes and sliding her under the duvet before going back to her laptop and continuing with her work.
"Becs?" Chloe asked to the darkness before noticing Beca's silhouette in front of the glow of her laptop, the clear outline of her huge headphones prominent against the dark room. Chloe reached down and took off her sock, scrunched it up, then threw it at Beca, she just missed as the sock flew over Beca's headphones. Chloe took her other sock off, and again scrunched it into a ball, she threw it hitting Beca directly in the head. Beca jumped, startled at the attack, she stopped whatever she was doing, stood up and started walking towards Chloe.
"So I see you are awake?"
"Yep…" Chloe said while pulling back the duvet and patting the empty space next to her "…come snuggle" Beca couldn't help but smile. The brunette seductively crawled up the bed, straddling Chloe and pushed her shoulders so she lay down, Beca followed Chloe's body down to the mattress. She leant her forehead against Chloe's and looked deep into her now slightly darkened blue eyes
"So…" Beca started "Do you… er… yunno…" Beca whispered into Chloe's ear. Chloe moaned at the thought
"wanna…" Beca continued "…order room service?"
Chloe rolled her eyes at Becas silliness but followed the DJ's lead
"Yunno what babe? I think I would go wild for a burger…"
"Well then… I'll get right on it" Beca got up, kissed Chloe on the cheek and went over to the phone to order.
The rest of the evening they just ate and talked about their days. Purely relishing the time they had together in person. It was starting to get late Chloe still felt guilty about working for so long so wanted to stay awake for as long as possible, but her eyelids were starting to droop and obviously Beca knew.
"Come on… You're falling asleep…" Beca said, smirking at her redheaded girlfriend. Chloe smiled sleepily "no, no… we can talk longer…" Right after that sentence Chloe yawned and they both giggled.
"Let's go brush our teeth" Beca stood up, and held out her hand, Chloe reached forward and took it, standing up from the bed, Beca pulled Chloe into the bathroom.
They brushed their teeth, something they would always do together ever since they started dating, it's defiantly something they both miss when they're apart. Beca wrapped her arm around Chloe's waist. Chloe took out her phone and snapped a selfie, with them under the bright lights, pulling faces with their toothbrushes hanging out their mouths.
After they had got into bed Chloe looked at the photo and leant on Beca's shoulder. The brunette pulled her hair round to the other side of her neck and looked over at the photo. It was so perfectly them, summing up their relationship in a silly photo. Chloe kissed Beca's cheek and whispered
"You look beautiful"
