A/N: I want to say, I am so sorry for the wait. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and it's just, crazy. But, the story is almost going to be concluded and it's getting intense. The next couple of chapters will mostly focus on their relationship because well, the two weeks are almost up. So, I'm going to stop talking now and just let you enjoy it :) thank you again for all the positive feedback! xoxo
Beca and Chloe had set off for New York that Saturday afternoon. Beca was woken up by a flight attendant letting them they would be arriving soon. She expected Chloe to be bouncing for joy in her chair about how new everything was but instead she found a peaceful redhead fast asleep on her shoulder.
"Chloe, wake up were almost there" Beca nudged the sleeping redhead. But she wouldn't budge. Beca smiled at the sleeping girl and admitted how much she wouldn't mind waking up to her every morning. "Chloe" Beca tried again, moving her shoulder lightly.
"Five mo'minutes babe" she mumbled
"But we're in New York baby" Beca whispered back kissing the top of Beca's head.
"We're here?" Chloe yawned as she sits up straight in her seat next to Beca.
"Yeah, look" Beca pointed out of the window. Chloe turned out towards the window. She was in awe at the buildings in the view. Next to them was the Statue of Liberty. She was amazed at how different it was in person compared to pictures.
"That's incredible" Chloe whispered in awe at the city in front of her. "I could never thank you enough for this" Chloe turned to face Beca who had a dopey smile on.
"You don't have to thank me for anything Chloe. It's my pleasure."
They landed safely and received their luggage, as they walked out of the airport they were greeted with paparazzi.
"Beca is it true you fired your manager?!"
"Did you fire him over your new girlfriend!?"
"Can we get a kiss?!"
Beca was getting annoyed but kept her composure and kept walking. Chloe and Beca climbed into the back seat of Jessica's car.
"I need to make a phone call when we get to the hotel. Depending how it goes I might have to go the office, but hopefully it's nothing big" Beca explained to Chloe as they drove to the hotel.
Once they were checked in, Beca told the hotel security not to allow the paparazzi to disturb them. They once again headed to the top floor of the hotel and into the penthouse. Chloe wandered around the hotel room and took in her surroundings while Beca attended to the phone call.
"Bree, I need you to release a press statement about why Jesse got fired with or without his letter of resignation, come Monday morning."
Beca, what am I supposed to say?
"You're going to say that I got into a heated discussion and it led to him insulting a future artist and that I won't tolerate it. Or if he wants he can say that he received a better offer and that he's leaving, peacefully. I won't have these vultures ruining anything from Chloe's career or my reputation because he thinks it's okay to do whatever he wants, understood?"
Yes Beca, I got it. It'll be taken care of by tomorrow morning. Oh and one more thing.
"Yeah?"
Sheila called. Your dad kicked her out. She's on the next flight out.
"Fuck, okay. Let her stay at my place and I'll deal with that on Wednesday. Oh and Bree?"
Yeah?
"Thank you for putting up with me"
I would do it whether you paid me to or not Becs. Now go have fun with that ginger of yours.
"Say hi to Stacie for me. Love you."
Love you too & I will. Bye!
Beca had a content smile on her face when she hung up with Aubrey. Yes, Beca could be demanding as ever and just as stubborn but that never stopped Aubrey from pushing her to do better or even stopped Aubrey from backing down when Beca got crazy stubborn. All in all, everything Beca had lived through only made her appreciate the little things more. Like a new baby sister or brother or spending time with her redhead.
She isn't my redhead, what am I saying. This week will either make us or break us. Well, I'll at least enjoy every moment with her.
"Is everything okay Beca?"
"Hmm, o-oh yeah; no. Well, almost. Definitely almost." Beca tried assuring Chloe as Jessica and Ashley sat in the main room of their hotel room.
"Well, do you guys want to go out and see the town or stay here for now?" Ashley asked once she noticed Beca's facial features relax a bit.
"I think it's best if we stay here and I'll see, well, we will see you tomorrow at the office, alright?"
"Of course Becs anything" Jessica smiled at the small brunette. Between Jessica and Aubrey, they both helped Beca cope with her mother's passing but ultimately, Beca moved in with the Posen's.
"Maybe we could get dinner later?" Chloe asked wanting to get to know Beca's friends/coworkers more.
Stop it Chloe, you'll only get attached more than you already are. But it's just dinner and I'm seeing them again tomorrow. It's not like anything bad could happen, right?
"Yeah, we can do dinner." Beca replied with a genuine smile on her face.
"Sure do you have an idea where?" Jessica asked, always the one to be prepared, Beca thought.
"I'll call you once we have freshened up and let you know, does that sound okay?"
"Of course just let us know if you need anything Becs. Same goes for you Chloe." Jessica smiled softly at the redhead.
"Thank you" Chloe smiled sweetly as Ashley and Jessica said their goodbyes.
Once Jessica and Ashley had left Beca walked into the master bedroom and threw herself on the bed.
"I can't fucking believe it already leaked and it just fucking happened!" She mumbled to herself as Chloe was going through her luggage. "I can't do a fucking thing without some fucking douchebag fucking it up. I knew Jesse was going to do something stupid and as for my so called father. He's a fucking idiot. Fuck!" Beca yelled startling Chloe. Chloe got up and walked over to Beca who was now lying on her back.
"I know what you need" Chloe whispered into the brunette's ear. Beca turned to face Chloe with a raised brow.
"Oh?" She questioned, "And what would that be Miss Beale?" Beca teased.
"You know, I've heard somewhere that an orgasm can cure more than just a headache, want to prove it wrong?" Chloe winked and then smirk at Beca's jaw hanging open.
"You are full of surprises, Miss Beale" Beca said pulling Chloe on top of her, "but I would love to prove it wrong, only when it comes to you though" Beca winked.
"Why just me? I'm pretty sure any girl would love to be with thee DJ Titanium B"
"Yeah but thee DJ Titanium B only wants a certain redhead. I mean have you seen her?" Beca's hand started moving up Chloe's thighs. "She has the most beautiful body I have ever seen, with and without clothing." Her hands traveled up and cupped the redhead's ass. "Her ass is so firm, I literally love giving it a good squeeze, like this" Beca gently squeezed her ass causing a small yelp to escape the redhead. "But that's not all, she has these breast, they're full and round and if I could, I'd lay on them every day" Beca's hand traveled up the redhead's sides. "But you want to know what my favorite part of her is?"
"What is that DJ?" Chloe encouraged, shitshitshitshitshit this isn't going good oh my god I want to kiss her. Chloe you can't. I have too. No you don't. But I do. Nononono. She's a client Chloe Elise Beale!
"My favorite part of her; are her eyes and her smile. Her smile lights up my entire day, but it doesn't shine completely without that sparkle in her eyes."
"And how does she get that sparkle?"
"When she does something she loves. Like singing in the shower or dancing around the kitchen making breakfast in just a t-shirt. But her eyes especially light up when she sees something she loves."
"Oh" Chloe whispered, looking deeply into the smaller brunette's eyes. Don't kiss her Chloe. You'll ruin everything!
"Yeah, like the day I showed up with strawberry ice cream, or when Stacie came over for a movie night. Or when…" Shit. Tell her. I can't. You can. No I can't. Why not? Because I'll ruin everything. Fuck it, take the risk Mitchell. Not yet.
"When what Becs?" Chloe hesitated but still managed ask her question, hiding any sign of being nervous from the small brunette.
"N-nothing, it's nothing. I just think she's amazing in every way possible." Beca smiled covering up the fact that she really wanted to tell her how she felt. "Come on, we should get ready before we go out to dinner."
Beca moved away from Chloe and went into the bathroom. She closed the door behind her not wanting to see the confusion on the redhead's face. Beca did the only thing she knew would calm her down. She called Aubrey.
Hello?
"Bree, I need your help."
Beca, what's wrong?
"I-I almost told Chloe how I felt."
Beca, you scared me! I thought you were dying or something! God you could have started with something other than I need your help. Geez, you are across the country and-
"Bree! Focus! I almost told Chloe I'm falling for her! I can't do this yet. I know she'll run away. I can't afford to lose her. She-she's everything that I need in this shitty life of mine."
Aww, Beca. Don't think that way. You have everything planned for Tuesday and it'll turn out great. Just relax and breathe, you can't let those negative thoughts ruin the possibility of something great.
"Possibility, that's all I have. No certainty or anything, just a fucking possibility." Beca scoffed.
Rebeca Jade Mitchell, you listen to me. You have more than a possibility when it comes to Chloe Elise Beale; she just doesn't know it yet because she's been so blocked off to human emotions in the last years that she's scared. You can't tell me you were a ray of sunshine after your mother passed away. It took you years to let me in, it took Papa Posen even longer to admit her loved you like a daughter. But look, you two are the most stubborn people I have ever met and look at where you are now! Chloe is scared and you can't hold that against her! It will do no good to either of you so just, wait until Tuesday, deal?
"Damn you and your fucking logic Aubrey Posen."
Yeah, you love me; now go get ready for dinner with Jessica and Ashley.
"Wait, how did you-"
I know everything, now go. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Aubrey hung up and left a stunned Beca in the bathroom. Aubrey has a point though, Beca thought. It took me years to accept that I was a lesbian and that I didn't want to let anyone in because they all left me somehow. So why am I being so hard on my ginger, she's great and amazing and perfect and those eyes. God those crystal clear blue eyes just manage to make me forget all the horrible things I've had to live through. Fuck, Beca, you're in deep. Whether she says yes or no, you have to find a way to keep her in your life. She's the only thing that makes sense besides music at this point.
With that Beca let the silent debate continue in her head as she took a warm shower relaxing her muscles from the flight to New York.
Chloe? Why are you calling me?
"Because, I have to tell you something and I need to say it out loud while Becs is in the shower. I can't say it to her but if I say it to my best friend it'll become real. So real that it might hurt me and this time around, I want to take a chance. I want to have someone kiss me and mean it. I want someone to hold me close and tell me they love me. I want all the mushy, heart-warming, and vulnerability that comes with being with someone and giving them yourself completely. I want it Stace. This time, I really, really want it."
Then say it Chloe.
"I'm falling in love with Rebeca Jade Mitchel." The line went silent and it felt like an eternity to the redhead.
Fucking finally. Shit.
"Stacie! This isn't funny! This is very serious!"
No it really isn't Chlo! I mean think about it! She took you to New York, took you shopping, takes you everywhere with her and she smiles like an idiot whenever your name is mentioned. I was waiting for you to realize how in love she is with you!
"But this is scary Stace. What if it doesn't work out and I end up heartbroken again?"
What if she's the love of your life and you finally get that happily ever after you've always wanted and career? You can't keep doing this Chloe. You have to admit that you're in love with her and that she isn't going to hurt you because she hasn't. I mean, for fucks sake, she fired her manager for you. Granted, he was a totally dick but still. Like, who the fuck would do that for just any girl if she didn't mean something. Chloe you're acting scared because of what has happened in the past but that's exactly what it is. It's the past. You have to let it go because it's only stopping you from experiencing maybe the best thing ever.
"But Stace-"
No buts. This conversation is not up for discussion anymore. You know it's real and that there isn't anything that would change that otherwise you wouldn't have called me. So go have fun and don't be scared.
"Okay Stacie, I'll try." Chloe and Stacie said their goodbyes and hung up.
Chloe debated what to do next but as she walked around looking through her clothes she heard Beca singing. Chloe was drawn to it and couldn't resist walking towards the bathroom to catch a glimpse of Beca in her element.
Chloe opened the bathroom door slowly not wanting to interrupt the small brunette.
The day I first met you
You told me you'd never fall in love
But now that I get you
I know fear is what it really was
Now here we are,
So close yet so far.
Haven't I passed the test?
When will you realize,
Baby, I'm not like the rest?
Chloe couldn't help but let her heart swoon at the idea that Beca was really falling for her. She enjoyed the way Beca's voice echoed through the sound of the shower and the bathroom walls.
I felt picture perfect
On and off a shelf to a broken frame of mind, a broken frame of mind
It comes back and haunts me
A bullet undercover, it fooled me every time, it fooled me every time
But even if I lose it all
I've got so much left to give, I won't give up, no, no
My heart's on the front line, I'm not afraid
Chloe was in awe how easily the small DJ could mix the songs and the lyrics making them feel like it was all just one song and it was all for Chloe. Well, it was all based off of Beca's feelings for Chloe.
Don't wanna break your heart
Wanna give your heart a break
I know you're scared it's wrong
Like you might make a mistake
I will love you
Like I've never been hurt
Run through fire for you
Like I've never been burned
There's just one life to live
And there's no time to wait, to wait
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
I'm gonna risk it all like I've never lost
Gonna give it all I've got
Let me give your heart a break, your heart a break
There's so much you can take
I will love like I've never been hurt, never been hurt
So let me give your heart a break, give your heart a break
Chloe wiped a stray tear as Beca sang the last of the lyrics she had blended together. Chloe walked closer to the shower and cleared her throat. Beca turned around so fast she slipped and fell.
"Oww" Beca moaned as Chloe helped her get up from the wet floor.
"Oh my god, Beca are you okay?"
"Yeah I think so." Beca wrapped the towel Chloe handed her around her body. "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough" Chloe sheepishly smiled, ignoring the blush that was appearing.
"Are you ready for dinner?"
"Y-yeah, I am. I uh, wanted to ask you what I should wear for dinner"
"Anything you want, you always look great in everything Chlo" Beca smiled, glad to have avoided an awkward conversation about why she was singing those songs in the first place.
Forty-five minutes later, Beca, Chloe, Jessica and Ashley were walking into Beca's favorite restaurant, except, it looked like a karaoke bar instead of one of those high end restaurants. Beca walked over to a booth and let the other girls settle in while she went to greet the manager. Beca and the manager met back in LA when she was barely starting off.
"Benji!"
"Beca?!" Beca hugged Benji and he eagerly returned the hug. "What are you doing here? Should you be setting up everything for Friday?"
"That's all taken care of! I mean, I am Beca Mitchell and my manager is Aubrey Posen." Beca laughed as Benji shook his head with a smile on his face.
"I should've known thee Aubrey Posen would be a couple of days before schedule. What are you doing here?"
"See, I met this beautiful redhead and she has an amazing voice and well, let's just say I'm looking into making her known in the states."
"Is it the redhead that can't stop looking at you from your normal booth?" Benji asked gesturing to a curious Chloe that just couldn't stop looking at the small DJ. Beca turned around and shot her a wink with a small wave, causing the redhead to blush at the gesture.
"That would most definitely be her" Beca laughed. "You know, she's really amazing"
"And she's all yours huh? New Girlfriend and everything according to the tabloids," Benji nudged the DJ.
"How I wish they were true Ben. Oh how I wish they were"
"They aren't?" Benji asked, not hiding the shock in his voice.
Beca shook her head and looked back at the redhead that was laughing at something either Jessica or Ashley had said. "Maybe one day they will be but right now, she's not mine at all."
"How about a round before you give everyone a show?" Benji encouraged knowing that it was better to change the topic than it was to continue the questioning.
"Sounds great Benji" Beca smiled as she was handed for glasses with different drinks. Beca walked back to the booth and was greeted with a huge smile from her favorite redhead. "Here you go, ladies" she greeted, "Vodka Cran for Jessica, Sex on the Beach for Ashley, Gin & Tonic with a hint of Pomegranate for Chloe and a Rum and Coke for me."
"Thanks" was said in unison between Jessica and Ashley. While Chloe just looked at Beca in awe mostly.
"What?" Beca finally asked realizing that the redhead was starring, "is there something in my teeth?"
"No, no, I just. How do you know I liked a hint of pomegranate with my gin and tonic? I rarely drink it because no one ever puts the right amount."
"Well," a sly smirk appearing on Beca's face, "Let's just say I know the bartender and I know my ginger" Beca winked and Chloe could have sworn she felt her heart skip a beat.
"You're something DJ" Chloe shook her head.
"And I'm only getting started baby" Beca winked and got up before allowing Chloe to say anything in return. Chloe followed Beca as she greeted Benji and then moved her way to the stage. She saw Beca talked to some guy and then she grabbed the microphone heading to the stage.
"Hey everyone! I am Beca and tonight, I want to dedicate this song to a special redhead in the audience. I hope you all enjoy it!" The audience clapped and once they quieted down the opening beat started.
Lately, I been thinkin' 'bout you goin' crazy.
Can't go on without you in my life, it's true
What'chu wanna do
You can be my girlfriend
And I can be your girlfriend
As Beca finished the first verse and Chloe's breath hitched. She dedicated the song to me.
Hey there cutie pie! Ha, what's the deal?
Had to let you know how I feel
Had a bunch of girls, but I'm'a keep it real
Them otha' chickenheads couldn't fit the bill
But you, it's somethin' about ya, babe
What it is, I don't know
Maybe 'cause ya body just right
With a sexy smile
And you know how to get that dough
Plus the heart for red just like Bo ("Q")
Feel me up, when I'm feelin' low
When I'm home or on the road, no questions asked
You know it's on as soon as I hit the door (Fa Sho!)
And I need that on my team
Baby, you was made for me
Had somethin' on my mind
But forgot what it was, and that's because...
Chloe couldn't help the face splitting grin that was appearing on her face. Beca made eye contact with Chloe and kept singing without missing a beat. Beca's emotions were being transmitted through the lyrics in the song and it was filled with emotion.
Lately, I been thinkin' 'bout you goin' crazy,
Can't go on without you in my life, it's true (true)
What'chu wanna do (do)
You can be my girlfriend
And I can be your girlfriend
Ooh-wee! Look at that there
Call me Sunny, I need my share
Loving a redhead, with long hair
Got her act together like a broad with (flair?)
You the only one for me, I'm the only one for you
Ain't nobody gon' take yo place
Take a look at my MySpace page
She the numba' position on my Top 8
Let's go somewhere and chill
Baby girl got sex appeal
I'm'a show you how I feel
Never met a woman so real
And that's fo' sho'
I take ya to the mall on a shoppin' spree
Spendin' that dough
It ain't tricky if you got it
And I got that cheese…
There was no doubt that Beca knew how to win a crowd over but right now, right in the bar, she wasn't trying to win a crowd, she was in it to win that one redhead with the crystal clear blue eyes. And she wasn't losing eye contact with those blue eyes that made every bad thing, disappear.
Lately, I been thinkin' 'bout you goin' crazy,
Can't go on without you in my life, it's true (true)
What'chu wanna do (do)
You can be my girlfriend
And I can be your girlfriend
See I want us, to be in this relationship
Are you ready, baby? Let's go steady, baby
I want you, and if you want me, too
You should be my girlfriend and I can be your girlfriend
Shawty, I can't waste my time
You know you been on my mind
In the mornin', when I sleep at night
When I work you there and it ain't no lie
At first I ain't wanna sweat ya
Now it feel like I'm under pressure
We was cool ass friends
Now what's the deal is
I don't know but I gots to get ya
Lately, I been thinkin' 'bout you goin' crazy,
Can't go on without you in my life, it's true (true)
What'chu wanna do (do)
You can be my girlfriend
And I can be your girlfriend
See I can foot the ball
You know I keep it real
And when you come up off the road
You got somewhere to chill
Make me ya lady
You'll be my man
It's obvious that I should be ya girlfriend
Lately, I been thinkin' 'bout you goin' crazy,
Can't go on without you in my life, it's true (true)
What'chu wanna do (do)
You can be my girlfriend
And I can be your girlfriend
As Beca sang the last of the lyrics, she didn't hear the crowd go wild. She didn't see Benji take the microphone or usher her off the stage. All Beca saw was Chloe's eye shining with pride and admiration for the small brunette. She saw how they sparkled with the way she loved and the smile that went along with it. If it wasn't for having a badass reputation, she would have melted right then and there. She was falling in love with Chloe Beale. No, Beca Mitchell wasn't falling in love; she was already in love, so deeply in love with Chloe Elise Beale. And she couldn't be happier.
A/N: Well, there you go! First song was my "mash-up"(first time actually trying it) of Give Your Heart A Break & Never Been Hurt by Demi Lovato and the second song was Boyfriend/Girlfriend by Keyshia Cole.
Don't forget to review! Love you guys and once again, thank you for putting up with my lateness! I'll try to update again before the end of the week! xoxo
