Author's note: Wow, I can't believe so many people actually enjoyed it! Thank you for all the feedback! After this chapter, it might take me a couple of days to update again because my aunt is in the hospital. But I'll try to update as soon as possible! Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy it :) xoxo
P.S. The first chapter will probably be the only chapter that is similar to the movie. I just really liked the set up of the meeting. But everything else will be different, because well, Chloe and Beca are very different. But again, any suggestions, reviews, questions, are more than welcomed :) oh and I own nothing once again.
"Likewise," Chloe grinned, "Now can I ask you something?"
"Besides that question, you may" Beca smirked
"Do you mind if I take a shower before I leave? It looks really comfortable and huge" Chloe blushed as she finished her question.
"Of course, I'll clean up here and you can go ahead and use it. Everything you need should be under the sink and I'll go in and give you a towel once I'm done, is that okay?"
"Yes! Perfect! Thank you!" Chloe beamed as she got up from her seat and gave Beca a kiss on the cheek before walking back into the master bedroom.
Beca started cleaning the kitchen putting away the dishes. She then ventured into the living room picking up all of her clothes that were really scattered across the living room. She walked into the bedroom depositing it in the laundry hamper. As she was finishing everything, she heard a knock at the door. She walked over to the door not even thinking twice at the fact that she had someone in her bathroom. She opened the front door to reveal Aubrey Posen in jeans and a lose blouse.
"Bree, what are you doing here?" Beca asked while she let her best friend in.
"Well, I wouldn't be here if you would turn on your phone or something Beca. What happened last night? Why did you leave all of sudden?" Bree asked concern evident in her voice.
"Sam showed up and I just couldn't look at her. She fucked up." Beca just shrugged, trying to hide how hurt she was with everything.
"Why didn't you tell me? I would have kicked her out myself!" Bree exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it okay. Just leave it alone" Beca said as she went into her bedroom remembering that she needed to give Chloe a towel. Beca grabbed two towels just in case and opened the door of the master bathroom but was met with Chloe singing. Wow, she really has a good voice, Beca thought, taking in the beauty before her.
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized
But all your bullets ricochet
Shoot me down, but I get up
Beca couldn't believe it, not only was she singing her favorite song, but it sounded amazing as she did. Beca couldn't help but smile and join in, harmonizing perfectly.
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
Chloe turned around and was met with Beca looking right at her. Chloe gave her a small smile but kept singing, entering the chorus.
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Finishing the chorus, neither one said anything. They stood there looking at each other. The shower was still running and they were in their own bubble until a slow clap brought them back into reality.
"You sounded amazing" Aubrey chimed, "Oh shit, sorry. I didn't know you had company Becs. I could have left and come back later." She said as she was turning out of the room. Chloe turned around, her back facing the door as she tried hiding the blush that was forming.
"Bree, just wait for me in the living room, I'll be there in a minute." Beca shouted as Bree waved in acknowledgment. Beca looked back at Chloe who was blushing at being caught in an intimate setting with a client. "Sorry about that, she's my best friend. Do you want to borrow some clothes so you can meet her?"
"I'd like that, thank you." Chloe replied with a sheepish grin.
"Okay, I'll leave these here and the clothes on the bed, next to the rest of your clothes" Beca winked and got up and left before anything else was said.
Beca walked into her living room to be met with a knowing look from Aubrey.
"It's not what it seems Bree. Just don't start okay?"
"But I didn't say anything Becs!"
"No but you're giving me the Posen look. And if it was on your mother or father, I would be scared but right now, I am not letting you do this."
"Ugh, fine whatever. But let me ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Is she going to be your date for your father-daughter dinner? Or do I have to find someone for you?"
"Fuck"
"So you did forget huh?" Aubrey smirked, knowing her best friend all too well.
"Let me figure something out and I'll get back to you. Stay here" Beca told her as she walked back inside her room. Glad to see that Chloe was finishing getting dressed.
"Okay," Beca started, "I come to you for a business proposition and you are more than allowed to say no." Chloe nodded encouraging the small brunette to keep going. "So, I just broke up with my girlfriend for some stupid reason and for the next two weeks, I have all these events that I said I had a plus one too but now I don't. So I was wondering," Beca paused taking in a deep breath, "if you would be my date/plus one until after my club opening? Now, remember, you are more than welcomed to say no at any time and if money is the issue, I can pay you."
Chloe looked over at the brunette and was sizing her up but all she could see was sincerity in the way she asked. Chloe couldn't help but agree to the smaller brunette's proposal.
"Sure, I'll do it. But I might have to go pick up some clothes and check on my best friend, is that okay?"
"Wait, you're really saying yes, to me?"
"Sure, why not? What's the biggest thing you can do anyways?" Chloe replied, oblivious to the incredulous look Beca was giving her.
"You-you don't recognize me?" Beca stammered as she tried asking.
"No? Should I?" Chloe asked, confusion taking over her facial features.
"No, no, no that's not what I meant. Uh, Bree will fill you in, come on." Beca said leading the redhead out of her room.
"Bree, this is Chloe. Chloe, this is my best friend, Aubrey Posen." Beca introduced both girls and regretted it when all Aubrey did was smile a tight smile. "Bree, stop it and be nice" Beca hissed towards Aubrey.
"Sorry," Aubrey mumbled, "It's nice to meet you Chloe."
"Likewise, and I think we'll be seeing more of each other then. At least for these two weeks, seems like I'll be Beca's plus one."
"Oh good," Aubrey said, "So she knows about the Gala tomorrow night? And then the talk show on Wednesday and dinner with your Dr. Mitchell?" Aubrey listed as she looked between both girls.
"Wait, hold on, what Gala? Talk show? Dinner? Beca?" Chloe asked, feeling a sense of panic rising.
"Bree, she doesn't know who I am! And if she knows of me, she hasn't put two and two together yet." Beca said, silently glaring at Aubrey.
"Shit" Aubrey mumbled under her breath.
"Someone has to tell me what's going on before I get my stuff and leave." Chloe exclaimed standing up and putting her hands on her hips.
"Chloe, please, sit down. I'll tell you everything" Beca replied rather calmly.
"You aren't a murder or anything right?" Chloe hesitated looking between Aubrey and Beca. Aubrey was trying to hide a laugh but still smiled at the assumptions.
"No, I'm all legal, I promise." Beca responded, "Now please sit. I don't want you fainting or anything once I tell you." Beca looked up at Chloe and then Chloe sat next to her but with a respectable amount of space between them.
"Are you ready?" Aubrey asked both and received a nod in conformation. "Okay, so Chloe you know that famous DJ, DJ Titanium B, owner of Titanium records?" Aubrey asked, testing the waters.
"Yeah, he made some of my favorite mixes!" Chloe exclaimed
"She, she made some of your favorite mixes." Beca clarified
"How do you know it's a she?"
"Because…" Beca hesitated looking at Aubrey for help.
"Because DJ Titanium B is Beca Jade Mitchell" Aubrey finished. The silence in the room was deafening while Chloe took in the new information about Beca. Beca started fidgeting with her hands and Aubrey was just silently watching Chloe while Chloe was trying to process everything.
"Wait hold on, you're telling me that I slept with a multi-billion dollar celebrity?!" Chloe exclaimed causing Beca to flinch and Aubrey slapped her across the arm.
"Hey!" Beca complained, "What was that for?" as she rubbed the spot Aubrey had hit.
"For telling me not to start when I gave you the Posen look!"
"Yeah I said don't start and you're starting!"
"Fine!" Aubrey huffed and she sat on the couch.
"Excuse me?" Chloe chimed in
"Yeah?" Beca looked up
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday when I was driving and I asked you where you lived?"
"Because, I'm not a womanizer like the tabloids make me out to be. Yeah, I date and see woman but I don't put out on the first date."
"Last night says otherwise." Aubrey chimed in earning a glare from Beca
"Yeah well if Sam hadn't gone and fucked up everything," the smaller brunette started as she got up from the couch and started pacing the living room, "I was happy with her, Bree. And that stupid bitch just decides to sleep with my best bartender and in my car while I was working. I gave her everything and she threw it all away. That's why I left last night, that's why I took your car, that's why I ended up by Hollywood Blvd and luckily I found Chloe. Sorry, no offense Chloe"
"None taken, you were far away from home"
"Yeah and luckily Chloe knows how to drive a stick, because I can take the heat of you yelling at me about a stranger driving your car but I can't take the heat if I broke it or something. And when we got here I didn't want to be alone. I wanted someone to be here with me because if I was alone I would have cried myself to sleep or ended up punching a wall or something" Beca ranted.
"I-I didn't know she did that to you Becs" Aubrey chirped up after she processed the information. "I thought you were still scared of commitment or something"
Beca laughed bitterly, "No, I'm not, I thought I wanted to spend my life with her but not anymore. Stupid and pathetic bitch, that's exactly what she is."
Chloe got up from the couch and walked over to Beca and pulled her into a hug. She rubbed small circles on her back and that was all it took for Beca to calm down. Beca looked up at Chloe and smiled.
"Thank you for staying though. Which reminds me, how much was it going to be?"
"Four hundred, remember?"
"Right and you're still okay with being my plus one for two weeks, which include galas, dinners, parties, anything?"
"Of course, but I still need to get my clothes and check on Stacie." Chloe replied with a smile.
"Wait, so you're a hooker?" Aubrey asked
Beca gave her a glare and Aubrey put her hands up defensively while Chloe just laughed at the encounter.
"Yeah, I prefer escort though and it's a long story to why I ended up being one alongside my best friend but maybe one night, I'll tell you guys." Chloe smiled, proud at what she does even if it wasn't her dream job.
"Okay, so how about a day in the town where we take you and your best friend shopping?" Beca asked.
"Wait, really?" Chloe gasped as Beca nodded. "You're the best!" Chloe pulled the smaller brunette into a hug.
"Come on Bree, you're coming with too. It'll look like a girl's afternoon or something."
"Becs" Bree signaled to Chloe who was wearing boxers and a large t-shirt.
"Shit." Beca murmured, "Wait, we're stopping by her place, she can just change their plus, no one will question her here, especially after last night's outfit, which can I say it really compliments your body" Beca finished off with a wink and a smirk towards Chloe, causing a small blush to appear.
Chloe returned for her clothes and decided to not wear her knee-high high heel boots and just carry them in her hand. Meanwhile, Beca called for her driver and Aubrey cancelled the rest of her day. As the girls were about to leave, Beca's phone rang.
"Hello?"
Beca, I'm glad you answered.
"Dr. Mitchell" Beca replied rolling her eyes at his voice. She ushered the girls out as she locked the door behind her. "To what do I owe this honor?"
Beca stop treating me like I'm not your father.
"No, I recognize that you are in fact my father but you did not raise me. The Posen's did after mom passed away. So if you have called to annoy me, that you have already accomplished, I suggest you move it along with what you have to say."
Aubrey called and confirmed for Thursday and said you would be bringing a date? I hope he is a fine gentleman and is doing right by you.
"Yes, I will be bringing a date to dinner with you and the step monster. Which reminds me, congratulations, I would have been there had I received an invitation." Beca scoffed.
You wouldn't have come if I sent you one anyways, Beca.
"That's beside the point and you know it! So, if you don't mind, I'll see you on Thursday. Goodbye." And with that, Beca hung up and she got into her limo.
"No wonder you can't drive." Chloe spoke with awe as she got in next to Beca. Aubrey burst out laughing at the comment and Beca had on a poker face.
"I like driving, and I know how to drive. I'm just not as uptight as Aubrey here that she needs to control everything." Beca deadpanned and Aubrey immediately sobered up at the comment.
"What do you drive then?" Chloe inquired after she gave the driver her address.
"I prefer a Jeep." Beca replied, "I have a thing for camping, before I moved in with The Posen's it was something my grandfather and I used to do."
"Hey!" Aubrey chimed in, "After you moved in with us you refused to do anything but mix music."
"It was a hard time, give me a break!" Beca replied, "Plus, you used to be the one who hated getting dirty and you would always be studying anyways. I called it the "Daddy Posen's Approval" mission, which I am surprised he still calls during holidays." Beca pondered at the realization that Mr. Posen wasn't so uptight anymore. But I guess getting thrown up by your daughter in public can do that to you. Beca started laughing at the memory, earning weird glances from Aubrey and Chloe.
"What are you laughing about?" Aubrey shot out causing Beca to sober up a bit before laughing again.
"Nothing, just realized why your daddy isn't so anal anymore" Beca grinned and Aubrey knew exactly what she was referring too.
"Oh god, please don't start with that story!" Aubrey said as she hid her face behind her hands.
"I would ask what story, but we're here so wait here, I'll be right back." Chloe said as she exited the car.
Beca and Aubrey nodded in acknowledgment and the minute the door closed, Aubrey turned to Beca and said, "Spill"
"What? There's nothing to spill, Bree!"
"Oh don't give me that. What happened with Sam? Why did you end up with a hooker? Are you sure you want to take her as your plus one?"
"Bree, calm down; I'll tell you everything if you just breath!" Beca exclaimed and waited a couple of minutes for Aubrey to breath normally again. "Okay, so remember like two weeks ago I was working at that club, Fame?" Aubrey nodded in response, "Well, Donald was working that night, and I brought Sam along because she said she wanted to see me spin. So I left her in the VIP room and Donald was the bartender for our VIP room. I went to spin and when I came back, I couldn't find her. I asked around and someone said that she was probably by the car or something. So, I went outside and to the car, when I opened the door, I saw them, together. I didn't know what to do or how to feel. I closed the door and walked back inside the club. I got really trashed and the following morning you were here, remember? But yeah, she basically ripped my heart open and she didn't even come after me. She finished fucking him and he let her." Beca finished fidgeting with her hands on her lap. Aubrey reached over and took a hold of her hands.
"Becs, she's a whore, I mean, I know you love or loved her or whatever but she isn't worth it. Better now than later, right?" Beca nodded but didn't say anything. "So what about Chloe?" Aubrey voiced after a while.
"What about her? She's gorgeous, she can drive your car and she gives amazing orgasms. It's only going to be two weeks."
"A lot can happen in two weeks Becs."
"Maybe, but for now, she's just my plus one."
"If you say so"
"Oh, one thing though." Aubrey nodded in conformation, "No one is to find out how we met, where we met, or what she works as. It stays between us."
"Of course, besides being your lawyer, I am your best friend." Aubrey replied with a smile that put Beca at ease.
"Stacie!" Chloe shouted as she walked into her shared apartment.
"Why are you yelling?" Stacie groaned
"Come on, we're going shopping!" Chloe exclaimed, pulling on some jeans and looking for a decent shirt.
"No we aren't, we don't even have the rent yet." Stacie groaned as she tried covering herself with her covers. Chloe pulled them off.
"I have it now come on, get up!" Chloe shouted grabbing a duffel bag, "Becs & Bree are waiting for us!"
"Who is that?"
"Ugh, fine, I wasn't going to tell you but since nothing is getting you out of bed, I might as well." Chloe sighed as Stacie sat up on her bed raising an eyebrow towards Chloe. "Remember the client I left with last night?" Stacie nodded, "She's taking us shopping and hiring me for two weeks."
"So? Who cares? Why is she taking us shopping?"
"Because I'll be going to gala events and dinners and talk shows" Chloe finished wiggling her eyebrows towards Stacie
"Wait, she's famous?"
"Oh not just famous, she's multi-billion dollar famous!"
"Fine, I'll tag along. She better be hot."
"Oh quit your whining and get ready!"
Ten minutes later, Chloe and Stacie climb in to the back of the limo. Stacie started taking in her surroundings.
"Woah, you weren't kidding." Stacie whispered as she settled next to Aubrey.
"Hi, Aubrey Posen" Aubrey stuck her hand out for Stacie to take.
"Stacie Conrad" Stacie replied taking Aubrey's hand.
"Stace, this is Beca. Beca this is my best friend Stacie."
"Pleasure to meet you," Beca replied giving Stacie a firm shake, "Now, let's go shopping. Aubrey what are the events I have lined up."
"You have the Gala with Addison tomorrow night. On Wednesday, it's the talk show. Thursday; dinner with your fath-Dr. Mitchell; and Friday you're the guest DJ for Playhouse Hollywood."
"Alright, so long evening gown for Monday, cute decent cocktail dress for Wednesday and Thursday. And as for Friday, something short, because you have amazing legs Chlo" Beca grinned and shot a wink in Chloe's direction. "Oh and as for Stace, along the same lines, I hope you don't mind that you'll be accompanying us on Monday and Friday. I would bring you along on Thursday but I'm already nervous that my father is under the impression that I'm straight."
"Wait, really? Since when?" Aubrey asked, looking up from her tablet.
"Since he called this morning, he said that he hopes the 'gentleman' is doing right by me. I could've corrected him, but then what would be the fun in that." Beca smirked and Aubrey rolled her eyes.
"Leave it to you to be the pain in the ass you've always been, Beca Mitchell."
"Wait, your last name is Mitchell? As in DJ Titanium B, Beca Mitchell?"
"Seems like your best friend knows more about me than you did, Chlo" Beca replied and a blush covered Chloe's face.
"You didn't know?" Stacie exclaimed directed towards Chloe.
"I didn't ask for names until this morning, Stace. So no, I didn't know and even after she gave me her name, I didn't put two and two together until Bree told me." Chloe blushed a bit more, almost as bright as her hair.
"You slept with the most known DJ and didn't even know it. Huh, that's one for the books." Stacie smirked.
"Oh, about that," Aubrey inserted, "I don't know where you're going to live for the two weeks, but I am going to need you to sign a confidentiality agreement, both of you. It's just to keep everyone save and nothing more. Anything you discuss in private stays between you two."
Beca nodded, along with Chloe. Stacie looked over Aubrey just to make sure she wasn't bluffing and when she was pleased, she agreed.
They drove to Rodeo Drive, and Chloe and Stacie were in awe at all the stores. They followed Aubrey and Beca down to a store and entered.
"Good Afternoon ma'am, can we help you with anything today?" the host of the store asked.
"Yes, I want to find a couple of evening gowns for all four of us, along with cocktail dresses and then casual attire. Do you think you could handle all of that?"
"Yes ma'am, right this way." She led them towards the back where there was a seating area. They all took a seat and the host called over more assistants.
"So, Chloe and Stacie, you're up first." Beca gestured as Aubrey went back to her tablet. Beca noticed the lingering looks Aubrey and Stacie were giving each other but mention nothing. She'd handle that later.
The entire afternoon, Chloe and Stacie tried on just about everything in the store. Aubrey was working on the schedule and meetings with Beca but every so often caved into the indulgent of trying something on. Chloe made Beca tried on a couple of things too but refused to do the whole model walk in front of everyone. Chloe had even picked a couple of lingerie items for Beca and herself. Stacie picked a couple of outfits and even decided to match Aubrey for the evening gala. Aubrey tried declining and denying that she was flattered but with a perky redhead, a persistent suitor and a laughing best friend, she eventually caved. After all was said and done, Beca paid for everything the girls had purchased. Shoes, dresses, stockings, hats, pants, shorts, blouse, you name it, and they got it. They climbed into the back of the limo after Linus, their driver, helped them put all their purchases into the trunk.
"Are you guy's hungry? Because I'm starving!" Beca groaned, which Chloe and Stacie giggled at her remark.
"I swear you eat like a teenage boy, where does all of it go?" Aubrey remarked, clearly annoyed at how much her best friend eats.
"It just goes to the necessary compartments. You know, boobs, ass, stuff like that" Beca smirked, "And it helps to have a very hot British man as my trainer. I mean, have you seen his abs, they are like built to perfection by the Greek Gods or something." Beca kept rambling.
"Well, I'm sorry to cut into your rant," Chloe chimed in, "But yes, I am hungry. Can we just order in something and watch a movie?"
"Do we have to watch a movie?" Beca whined
"Mm, yes but it doesn't have to be a romantic comedy if you insist." Chloe replied rolling her eyes at the small brunette. Stacie and Aubrey were trying to hide their laughs from the two interacting.
Chloe better be careful, this could go but two ways, Stacie thought as she watched her best friend interact with the DJ. Aubrey on the other hand just hoped that neither one ended up hurt. Beca's been down this 'casual' rode and it bite her in the ass last time. Let's hope this turns out completely different, Aubrey internally pondered as she let out a sigh.
A/N: So, what did you think? :) xoxo
