''My name is Luisa.''
After pronouncing her name in a sinfully sexy way, Luisa leans back and smiles. Her hand reaches over to smooth down Beca's hair who still has a hazy expression on her face.
''Come find me later for that dance, Beca.'' Luisa says with a chuckle. This snaps Beca out of her stupor. Beca quickly looks up only to find that the blonde woman is already halfway across the room.
''She's like a damn ninja. Or maybe like a cat.'' Beca mutters to herself. She finishes the rest of her drink and gets a new one. It takes her considerably longer now that she doesn't have a very tall German with her. Once she finally has a new drink, Beca lets her eyes scan across the room, trying to find Chloe. She spots her bubbly co-captain practically draping herself across that one female singer from the Canadian group.
Beca makes her way across the room, giving forced smiles to the people who congratulate her on the Bella's win. Once Beca reaches the redhead, she lightly taps her on the shoulder.
''Give me one second, kinda busy here.'' Chloe says, throwing a quick glance over her shoulder. She focusses her attention back on the Canadian singer, her trademark flirty smile in place.
Beca huffs and rolls her eyes. Guess Chloe decided to do something about the lack of experimenting in college. Getting impatient, Beca tugs Chloe along by her elbow to somewhere more quiet where they can talk, without getting distracted.
''Hey, Beca! I was busy. Seriously, what are you doing?!'' Chloe pulls her arms free and crosses them over her chest. She gives Beca an annoyed look.
''This better be good, cause I was pretty close to getting better acquainted with that cute Canadian lady.''
Beca looks at Chloe and then looks at the ground while nervously fidgeting with her drink. Chloe notices her friend's odd behaviour and frowns at her.
''Becs, is everything okay? Did Jesse do something cause seriously I will kick hi-.''
''No, no. Jesse didn't do anything. He doesn't have anything to do with this, well not really.'' Beca looks up, seeing the concern in her friend's eyes.
''I think I'm in trouble, Chlo.'' Beca finishes her drink, feeling the alcohol slightly taking its effect.
''Why, what did you do?'' Chloe takes a step closer, taking one of Beca's hands in hers and rubbing soothing circles on it with her thumb. Beca would feel weird if it was anyone else doing it, but Chloe always had the ability to break right through those walls.
Beca sighs again and shakes her head. Her free hand smooth's through her hair, remembering the feeling of Luisa's hand running through it. Luisa..
''I didn't do anything… Yet.''
''Yet? What does that mean, Beca? You're not giving me a lot to work with here.''
''It means that I am thinking about doing something really stupid. And it confuses me, which makes me scared.'' Beca bites her lip. A glimpse of golden blonde hair catches her eye over Chloe's shoulder. Luisa is smiling at something Pieter said, casually leaning against a table. Seriously that woman makes the simplest things seem attractive.
Chloe notices that Beca tunes out for a second and is focused on something behind her. She looks over her shoulder and sees the German lead talking to her co-leader. The cogs start spinning in her head and she looks back at Beca.
''Beca, does this stupid thing have something to do with a very tall, very attractive German? You know the one that you've been awkwardly flirt-sulting with the past, well, year?''
Chloe softly snaps her fingers in front of Beca's face to get her attention. Beca blushes and focusses her eyes back on Chloe.
''Euhm, yeah, it has something to do with her. But I mean, I'm not gay right, I have Jesse. We're happy and it's easy. We haven't seen each other that much the last few months, but I've been busy with my internship and Worlds. And I'm sure he was busy as well, like he must have been, right? Luisa is just in head and I need to get her out of there. And then everything can go back to normal.'' Beca starts pacing up and down halfway through her rant, using her hands a lot while talking.
''Beca. Beca, Becs! Hold up, calm down.'' Chloe grabs both of Beca's hands, stopping her from pacing and making the brunette face her.
''Alright, let's break this down. Who is Luisa?'' Chloe lets go of Beca's hands but doesn't take a step back, still invading Beca's personal bubble.
''Luisa is the Kommisar, it's her actual name.'' Beca starts fidgeting with one of the zippers on her pants.
''Ah, okay. It fits her. Now I can stop referring to her as the Kommisar in my head. So she's in your head, obviously making you feel things you haven't felt before?''
''Yeah. She makes me feel uncomfortable, but like not in a non-pleasant way. I can't think straight when she's near me, let alone when she touches me.'' Beca sighs and looks down again.
This whole situation has got her kind of worn out, she's not used to dealing with so many feelings at once. Normally she would deflect all heavy emotions, preferring to stay impassive. There are only two people who have managed to knock down some of her walls. One being Jesse with his goofy film references and dorky dance moves and the other being the girl that's standing across from her.
''And Jesse? Do you feel the same with him?'' Chloe eyes are soft, her smile understanding.
''I don't know.. I don't think so. I'm comfortable around him, but I mean I should be right. I've been with him for 3 years. He's my best friend and I love him.'' Beca whispers the last part, uncertainty showing in her eyes.
''But are you in love with him, Beca?'' Chloe ducks down a bit to catch Beca's eyes.
''I.. I don't know, Chlo. I'm just so fucking confused.'' Beca can't help that her voice cracks a little at the end. Before she knows it she's being engulfed by Chloe's arms. Beca circles her own arms around Chloe's waist and leans her head against her shoulder.
''Hey, it's okay. You don't have to figure everything out this minute.'' Chloe's soothing words calm Beca like they always do. Chloe releases Beca from the hug but takes her hands again.
''I'm glad you told me, Beca. But like I said, you don't have to figure this out right away. This is huge.'' Chloe squeezes Beca's hands reassuringly.
''Thank you, Chlo. I'm such a mess.'' Beca smiles at the other Bella.
''No problem. Now let's go get a drink, this ginger needs her jiggle juice.'' Chloe turns around and drags Beca along to the bar. Beca laughs at her friend's antics, momentarily forgetting about her confusion.

Wow, you guys. I woke up to like 40 emails about follows, reviews and favorites. It blew my mind, since I didn't really expect alot of feedback. But every single thing made my tiny little fangirl heart smile. And it inspired me to write. Lots of bechloe, little becommisar but be patient. I don't want to like rush things.
I have to work the next couple of days, so I'm going to try and write a bit but don't expect too much.
