Chapter 3 - Don't You know Your My Addiction?
Beca woke up early today hearing the loud ringing of her cell phone; her ring tone were
Kiss me by Sixpence by the way…
The DJ wasn't really fond of waking up early but it was her fault after all
setting her phone on high volumes that ranges probably through the next room
She wasn't the only one bothered too; Kimmy Jim was busy finishing some sort of essay about bugs and
Beetles and all that, though she was obviously irritated by the repeating song from Beca's phone;
Seeing that her face could already melt from her own frown.
And Just before Beca checks her phone out, she hears an obnoxious
Sentence come out of her Korean Dorm mate "..Would you just answer your phone" She half shouted
Beca didn't took notice of her though and only rolled her eyes…
she grabs her phone which was On her table that was occupied by her DJ equipment.
She takes a peek at the Phone's screen to see a message bubble blinking.
Touching the notice gently by her finger, the message screen pops up and presents her
A message none other from her Love counselor, Chloe Beale.
Sender: Chloe Beale Dec. 4, 2013 – 6:26 a.m
Hey Becs J. Aubrey said 2 be early 2day 'coz it seems she thinks that
We weren't rly that productive yesterday.
Tried 2 convince her 2 give us a little break, but alas nothing can break her.
Just wanna let u know that practice starts at 7:00 am sharp. See u at Practice J
Beca sighs 'if it weren't Chloe I'd be pretty pissed off by now..'
she thought putting her phone back To it's original place.
Once again, Beca layed down and got to sleep for a good five minutes.
Though it wasn't doing her any good since her body was practically saying to her
not to get up and just sleep all day.
Deciding that it was impossible to wake up almost completely that early in the morning,
She went to the showers to get a good cold shower to keep her awake.
Along the way she thought 'Chloe better not be in the showers at this time..'
Her eyes wandered around her shared dorm room, fixating her gaze at Kimmy Jim's
Clock that was beside the Korean's bed.
' 6:51 huh….' Beca read in her mind "I should get ready now…"
she mumbled stepping out of Her bed and walking to her all-to familiar closet.
After the DJ's cold shower, she made herself coffee with extra caffeine; taking few sips
Every now and then from her favorite cup.
She was currently listening to new songs that she just downloaded yesterday,
She wore her long sleeved red shirt along wearing her Jacket with the matching scarf.
It was quite cold since it December; it's winter.
Once Beca got her Boots on, she went out of the room and strode off
To the empty dance studio the Bella's call their studio.
Aubrey was pacing around the place, she was sure that she said Chloe to text everyone
That practice was early today, and yet, even the usual people whose always
early before the planned time to meet was not here yet.
It was already 7:16 a.m; obviously someone not Aubrey would be more patient,
But unfortunately this is Aubrey.
if someone wouldn't walk right in now, She would pick up her phone and immediately
call Chloe or Fat Amy or anyone else…
Trying hard not to break a sweat, Aubrey checked her wristwatch again,
The clock was ticking so loudly to the blonde, it was like it was her moment of death…
As another minute passed by Aubrey finally had it…
"Where in heaven's name are all those girls!?" She shouted her voice echoing all-over
The whole place; she kicks the ground aimlessly feeling the empty Studio
The blonde took out her phone, ready to call whomever she first sees in her contacts
That is a Barden Bella girl.
She takes a good look of the names in the list of contacts and was ready to dial when
She sees a familiar DJ step inside the building.
"Um, Hey Aubrey..?" Aubrey suddenly came up to Beca, fuming.
"Tell me, it's past 7'o clock now right?!" She asked the shorter girl, very much tensed up….
Beca backs away a little from her though and answers her "Well I left around 6: 51..."
The DJ stops on her backward walking and added to her statement
"So, I think it's probably 7 something right now.."
Aubrey groans in response to the DJ's statement "then why are the others not here yet!"
Beca looks at Aubrey confused then said out loud "I think it's cause it's pretty early
than usual that's why They were late…"
"But what about you?"
"….What about me?"
Aubrey takes a small inhale and pointed out at the DJ "Usually you'd be the last one to turn in.."
The DJ smirks at the clamoring blonde in front of her. She was basically drooling over her, but
Obviously, Beca doesn't want to get caught red-handed….so, ninja-hiding-emotions, don't fail her now…
"What, I couldn't help but wake up early today….nice improvement don't you think?"
Aubrey gave a similar confused look Beca gave earlier and rolled her eyes
"Whatever…I'll give Chloe a call to clear this up…she said she'd catch up…"
The blonde walk out of Beca's line of vision and took out her phone…
Meanwhile a certain DJ was having thoughts herself ' Did Chloe set this up…?' she
Asked herself remembering the brunette say something about setting
Her and Aubrey up.
Confused and weirded out of the situation, she silently takes out her phone and begins
To text Chloe about the situation.
To: Chloe Beale Dec. 4, 2013 – 7:20 a.m
Chloe, did u set this up?! The others aren't here yet!
Srly, didn't I told u to stop with the match-making thing?
Beca settled her phone in her pants pocket knowing that currently Chloe is talking with Aubrey
So there's no point in waiting.
After for what seemed like forever, The blonde finally came back and informed Beca
"Apparently she was out of load and only managed to text you—out of the others"
She then added "She's on her way right now, she was just going to Stacie's, then she'll have Stacie,
Text everyone else or otherwise call them…"
Beca tried to sound not sarcastic and said "Wow, wonder why I feel so unlucky?"
Aubrey yet again rolls her eyes at the DJ, she sighs before she states "Whatever…"
The blonde then starts to tie up her hair since it was loose and proceeded to
Remove her jacket…
Beca was eyeing Aubrey diligently, mesmerized by the way how Aubrey removes
The jacket; that was now set aside on a chair. And the blonde's look with tied up hair
Didn't look so bad either, in fact Beca thought it was…hot..
'Damn it…' The Dj thought to herself; it was one of those moments where
It feels like the whole universe is standing right still and the only sounds that she
Can hear were her beating heart that seems to speed up every passing second
She strikes a look at Aubrey.
that warm sensation which spread through out Your body that feels like your so light,
that feeling when you feel that Your stomach suddenly feels oh so giddy…..
that mixture of agitation and bursting feelings…..Beca likes it and hates it at the same time..
But Beca suddenly escapes from her trance and heard Aubrey speak
"Hey Beca, Are you listening to me?" The blonde says as she waves her hand in front of the DJ.
Beca stuttered realizing she was staring "Uh-yeah, something about dance moves..?"
"…Hah. have you gone deaf already because of being exposed to such loud music all the time?
Aubrey only sighs though"….Well doesn't matter…it was in fact about dance moves anyways.."
The Blonde rolled her eyes before she shows a few dance moves she made herself.
Beca was thankful she guessed right, it was probably reflex that she was unconsciously hearing
What the blonde just told her.
Aubrey did the dance moves she wanted to show Beca, though at some point there was a part
Where Aubrey dance so wildly and was acting like a drag queen of sorts…
pretty much like Stacie actually….
"So what do you think?" Aubrey asked looking at Beca with hopeful eyes which made The DJ
Melt down to her knees if she just as so much look anymore at those pleading green orbs…
"Um, I thought it was cool,….but I don't think we should touch our bodies in a very….suggestive way…"
The DJ points out at Aubrey only to receive a Blonde that has a furrowed eyebrow
"I didn't thought it was that….suggestive…." She defended herself though was blushing
Realizing what the dance looked like "…I thought it was sexy and all"
Beca marveled at her blushing face, the tint of red just matched the blonde's skin color,
It was like it was very natural for her…
The DJ shook her head "Nah. I think Stacie influenced you too much…."
"Really now, then you think of a better idea?" Aubrey with all her pride tried to sound sincere
But it actually came out like she was further defending her opinion
"..It's not like I hate the Idea of being...Sexy…it's just that it seems to much…" Beca concluded her
Opinion for Aubrey, and as surprising it was, it seemed that Aubrey agreed with her….
"A-alright, maybe it was…a little too much.." The blonde stated being a little embarrassed by the show she just putted up earlier "So you think you can teach me how to…like change it?"
Beca faked a gasped "My, my, I think you are right. I must have gone deaf , Because there is
No way in this planet or even universe, that Aubrey Posen is admitting she was wrong
And even asking for my Help"
Well that wasn't really true, back then when Aubrey admitted she was wrong about the set list
And asked Beca for help.
But still, it rare for Aubrey to ask help from anyone, especially from their DJ; such a rare sight
Like these was only once every thousand years….
The Blonde scoffed and crossed her arms in front of her chest "Yes, yes I need the help
Of Rebecca Freaking Mitchell"
Beca formed a smirk throughout her face and retorted "No 'Please'?"
Aubrey rolled her yes again for the fourth—fifth time "My eyes will hurt because f you Mitchell.."
Beca's smirk however didn't faded and didn't plan to leave her face…
Aubrey sighs as she clasped her hands together and pouted with those begging poor eyes "Please..?"
The DJ felt herself weaken for a minute coming into contact with those eyes, she simply dropped
Her smirk and sighs "Fine…"
Aubrey smiled a very wide smile that Beca swears it was hotter than a thousand suns, brighter
Than a million stars, and more precious to her than a trillion jewels..
The blonde first moved around like as before, of course Beca followed through her steps
Until she decided to intervene.
"I think you should move your hand a little more higher.." She instructed her with a pointing finger.
Aubrey of course did as she was told…it wasn't what Beca wanted that's all…
"Nah, a little more to the right…."
The blonde complied and did what she was told but Beca was yet again not satisfied
"Maybe it's your position…why not try to stand straight?" The DJ suggested at Aubrey
but the blonde retorted.
"…But that will completely ruin the dance move"
"No, it will not"
"Yes it will, standing straight up will make it look awkward!"
Aubrey explained emphasizing the position of her hand and her whole body position.
Her arm was up in the air, her hand bend down still open, while her right hand
Was comfortably resting on her hip, clutching on her shirt.
Legs spread a little, but not much, though Beca thought it kinda looked weird so she protested
"It looks weird!"
"You just don't like the stance!"
"What do you mean 'stance'? you look like a praying mantis…praying!"Beca concluded at her
"It's better than looking like someone whose calling out for a Cab!"
Beca only groaned thinking this was not going anywhere.
She came up to Aubrey and held the blonde's hips, along with taking her hand in hers..
"Bec—what is it you think your doing?!" Aubrey asked flustered which confused Beca ..
"What, I'm going to show you the right position…" She too was flustered red, Beca
Just hopes that the make-up will hide it all up….
The Dj gently leads Aubrey through the steps, of course Aubrey had her own mind set
In a different kind of moves, but her and Beca's moves just seemed to blend in,
It was like they knew exactly what the other is thinking…
It was weird really, just a second ago they were arguing about the dance steps but now
Their minds blend in into one dance, like a synced remix that seemed like one
Perfect song….
it felt relaxing like Beca was remixing Or doing a mash-up; it was like finding the
correct partner for a certain song..
She could smell the blonde's smell from her hair, despite her height, Beca still manage to
Keep up while being in a complete trance. She felt, and even smelled the girl's scent,
And hair for the first time, it was kind of addicting, like a drug…
And then they stopped and everything became normal again..
"Wow..that was…perfect.." Aubrey only managed to say gasping a bit tired
"Yeah…we managed to make dance moves without even singing the songs …"
Aubrey smiled brightly like before and turned to Beca "Thank you…"
Beca was about to say 'your welcome' but her smirk crept to her face and she became cocky again.
"Ohh, what was that didn't quite heard you Posen" She said bringing her face closer
And putting a hand behind her ear pretending to try to hear better
Aubrey only chuckled at The DJ's childish antics and gave up to make an argument
"Yeah,yeah, … it was fine I guess.."
Beca's smirk wider than before and retorted "This isn't like you Aubrey, it's kinda weird…
are you an alien that replaced earth Aubrey ?"
"Please, alien? What are you, five?"
"No, I'm 20…" She said saying her in fact age, as if it wasn't obvious…
"Right…, you only look like a five-year-old.."
Beca's smirk dropped again, she gave that looked that said 'Seriously?'
"There you go again with my height…" She said sounding hurt, though it was obvious she was faking it.
"Don't worry. I'm sure your second growth spurt will come out, maybe when your 30 or 40.…"
Aubrey stated still not being fazed by Beca's , ' rat-being-cornered-act'
Then Beca got some sort of stupid idea to be on her tip toes, passing Aubrey's head at least just
A simple millimeter…barely too….
"Haha, what are you trying to do?" Aubrey chuckled at the DJ seemingly stupidness as she may call it…
"I'm trying to show you that I can at least get past your forehead!"Beca says as she desperately
tries to be higher that Aubrey.
But it only seemed…well..Adorable to the Blonde. It wasn't intentionally at least, Aubrey just thought
That Beca looked cute, well any person that size would look cute…
But, it's Beca, and the combination of her Badass-softie act along with her physical features…
yup, you can call her the definition of cute..right next to a baby panda of course…
Aubrey shook her head slightly and puts her hands on Beca's shoulder; abruptly pressing down the
DJ to stop her fooling around.
"Ok, I think that's enough" Aubrey got in her position again "We have to complete the dance moves"
Beca scratches the back of her head and nodded "I-I guess so…"
Beca found herself staring at the Blonde again.
It was weird, it was like she was addicted to the simple sight of her crush.
She shooked the damn butterflies feeling and begun to instruct a few moves to Aubrey.
Out of the blue, Beca heard the familiar ring tone of her phone and looked back at Aubrey;
Excusing herself from her, and walking up to her bag, fishing out her phone in the process
Touching the blinking notice, the message screen popped up.
From:Stcaie Conrad Dec. 4, 2013 – 7:36 a.m
Hey Becs, sry wasn't able 2 rply earlier, I'm using Stacie's
Phone right now. And if u haven't guessed it yet, this is Chloe.
And yea, I did set it all up.
So, better make UR move on miss Aca-Aubrey, otherwise, u won't
Be able to, Coz we're on our way there now. U got like 10 mins.
Good Luck :D
Beca sighs in distress 'Seriously…Chloe sure knows how to make me feel pressure…'
she mused to herself.
Taking a small deep breath, Beca just thought a bit about the match-making attempt of her bestfriend
And walked up to Aubrey.
"It was Chloe, she said that she was on her way, she brought company with her….probably Stacie.."
"Stacie?" The blonde questioned Beca's conclusion "Why Stacie?"
"She texted from Stacie's phone.."
"Oh…I see.." Aubrey agreed to her and took a moment before speaking again.
"Did Chloe thought we were having a fight of sorts?" The blonde asked to which the DJ gave a look
Of confusion and asked "No, why would that cross your mind?"
"Obviously she was lying of being out of load just to set us up here—alone " Aubrey looked at Beca,
Giving her accusing eyes making the DJ squirm at her place.
Trying to act cool, Beca just did any normal person with a secret do…deny it..
"Wha—No way, I bet she was really just out of ammo.."
But the blond could not have any of these lies, so she just went straight to the point
"Beca…" Aubrey was sure to deliver the cold glare as the growling sentence came out of her mouth.
But since Beca was stubborn as well….
"It's nothing Aubrey, really!" Beca raised her hands up as if in surrender and again, Aubrey was relentless with her assault.
It was basically like they were having a war in there eyes since they were intimidating eachother
Strongly at eachothers stare.
Breaking the dead silence, the blonde backed off a little from Beca "Come on Beca, just tell me?!"
Beca looked at Aubrey. She saw her eyes, the Blonde was really serious with her question.
Replaying the message Chloe gave her earlier 'Make a move on Miss Aca-Aubrey'
It was echoing throughout Beca's mind; she was thinking 'What if I told her?...will she like me,
Or even date me?'
Looking back at Aubrey, The DJ felt the intensity of those green eyes fitting perfectly in the blonde's
Pretty face. Aubrey's skin was white but not pale…oh how Beca's wished she would be able
To hold Aubrey and be comfortably feeling her silky smooth skin, as Beca had imagined in her mind.
Taking herself in and out of reality and fantasy worlds; Beca finally decided.
She gulped down her throat and faced Aubrey, trying to muster up the courage in one breath
"Actually Aubrey, um…" she paused, having bits of second thoughts before continuing
"We've been good friends for sometime now…" Aubrey nodded in response and
gestured her to continue.
"A-and I was thinking if…"
"If?"
It was another moment of silence, Beca's heartbeat getting past the average pumping of blood
Through her blood vessels and veins.
Another sweat trickled from The DJ's forehead and it was then that she motioned her mouth
To open, slowly she begun
"If…we could—"
"Wassup Dingos!— heard practice was early, sorry for being late"
Fat Amy made the big grand entrance of intruding suddenly in the two girls' conversation.
She stood right in the middle of the two.
"Chloe texted from Stacie that we're having it early today!...so what's the agenda?"
Their Tasmanian friend had no clue of the seriousness of the atmosphere, it made a small DJ
Feel awkward seeing that privacy earlier was broken now.
So Beca took the honor of breaking the dead cold silence that was made moments later.
"Actually We were making new dance moves, and Aubrey here" She gestured her hand to Aubrey
"Had agreed to teach you now" She finished with a smirk.
The blonde was going to argue, but in herself, she knows that they we're at the very least 25 minutes late, so it was appropriate to teach the girls what they had made as soon as one of them gets here…
So the Aubrey followed the direction the DJ was giving her "Ok, Amy, follow me.." she gave Beca
First a look stating 'We're-going-to-continue-this-later-look' and proceeded to guide Amy
To the vacant place where they practice as a whole.
Beca sighs a somehow unidentified sigh that's between distress and relief.
A few moments later, one by one, the Bella girls arrived and was doing the chorography that a certain DJ and Blonde Constructed while waiting for them.
After about one and a half hour, Chloe had the opening chance to talk with Beca,
given that it was their break.
"So….what happened, did you made a move yet?" She jumped to the conclusion, but Beca shook
Her head contradicting the brunette's thoughts.
"What?...but I already gave you the opportunity…" She says in a disappointed look and only to have Beca defend herself.
"Actually, I was gonna ask her out, but…Amy came in and the moment was ruined…"
Chloe kind of understood her and gave an understanding nod "I see…"
"So…"
"So, go ask her out again"
"Are you serious?"
Chloe gave the look at Beca, and then she knew that she have to make a move at Aubrey otherwise
Chloe would just bug her to death
So she states "Well…how am I supposed to do that, I can't just remake a moment like that…"
The brunette raised her eyebrow a questioned her friend "Moment?...did some development
Between you two happened?..."
Beca realized what she said and muffled out "N-no, I mean time alone it is.."
But Chloe didn't relented and questioned her "..something did happened! You have to tell me!"
She squealed in delight to only make Beca feel uncomfortable
"Yeah—Nothing happened Chlo"
"Well then why not tell me?"
"That's because it's embarrassing…we just danced and all.."
"Then that means your getting along well, Aubrey doesn't dance with anybody unless she acknowledges them you know"
Chloe was very ethuastic that the DJ couldn't help but feel a bit weirded out
But she suddenly had a bright or not so bright idea "Chloe….I don't think she'll be interested.. "
Chloe gave Beca a reassuring smile and puts hand at the smaller girl's shoulder
"You two compliment each other" she bluntly said which made Beca slump a bit
"But we don't even have anything in common…"
The brunette took Beca's hand and lead her Aubrey, smiling while doing so
"Uh, Chloe what are you doing?" The DJ turned her head back to Chloe when she took a glance
Up at Aubrey
But the brunette did not answer her, instead she spoke with Aubrey "Aubrey Posen, I need of your assistance" Chloe said in a teasing manner, but the Blonde only rolled her eyes
"Can this wait Chloe, I'm still teaching Jessica and Ashley how the moves go" she gestured at the said Bellas that is having a hard time unifying their moves and being successful at their attempts…
"You don't like romance movies right, Aubrey?" She furrowed her eyebrow questioning Aubrey with
Her simple stare, and it seemed Aubrey just went through with it
"Well…their cliché, unreal, and doesn't really make sense.." The blonde dotted down the things she thinks about those romance movies "..I guess I don't like them…why?"
Chloe gave off another bright smile and announced the Bella's "Ladies please gather around"
Each of them heard the announcement of Chloe and got near her, they were whispering to each other
What it was going to be about…
Chloe stood out and begun to voice out her preposition "We're having Movie Night!"
As soon as the brunette said 'Movie night' they were all clapping or either squealing their voices out
Aubrey and Beca however stood shocked, beside the fact that they both somehow hate specific
Movies, it was because Chloe stated the idea without warning.
The blonde snapped out of her shocked expression and came up to Chloe
"Chloe, what movie night? You didn't tell me anything about this!" She interrogated the foxy of a friend she had.
Again Chloe ignored a best friend of her and instructed the girls "Yup that's right, we'll be having it
Friday night, at our dorm, 7:00 pm!"
Beca was oblivious to what Chloe was thinking so she just followed suit and instructed The rest of the group to take a small five minute break before continuing again…
After her task was done, she approached the seniors that was currently discussing a somewhat important matter that has Aubrey whining on and on about..
"Chloe for serious, what are you thinking?"
The brunette inhaled and exhaled before stating her reason "Actually that's because Beca here…"
She pointed her finger to the DJ "…and you, have similar problems about romance movies,
I was thinking that maybe you two can see the beauty of them if we all watch them together"
Beca gave a confused look and only retorted to the girl "Come on Chloe, I wouldn't be able to appreciate
Since I'm gonna be with you all, and your gonna fangirl squeal all over the place!"
"Yeah, for once I agree with Beca, when it's about that, I always find myself being taught by Miss Chloe Beale about the history of romance…"
Chloe gave a simple chuckle to her two best friends and said "That's why I have a preposition…"
Author's Note:
