The next day Beca woke up alone in bed. She frowned and got out of bed to look for Chloe. As she got closer to the living room she heard people whispering, she frowned as she tried to listen.
"My god Chloe, you guys are living the life here. This place is beautiful!"
Beca frowned. It sounded just like her best friend but there's no way it could be Stacie.
"Did you guys sex it up all over yet?"
Beca's eyes widened. That's definitely Stacie. She quickly walked out into the living room and saw not only Stacie but Jesse too.
"W-what is this?"
They all turned and looked at Beca with smiles.
"They were suppose to come tomorrow but I decided to bring them in today, I hope you don't mind I used your card."
"Of course I don't mind."
Beca ran to Stacie and hugged her tightly. Jesse stood awkwardly behind, they were friends again but because Beca moved away, they hadn't had much time to bond. Beca looked over at Jesse feeling the awkwardness and decided to hug him, reassuring him that everything that happened in the past was just that, the past.
"I really missed you Bec."
Beca smiled as she hugged Jesse.
"I missed you too Jess."
When Beca and Jesse stopped hugging Stacie quickly grabbed Beca and took her into another room.
"We'll be back" she called out as she dragged her into one of the many rooms in the house.
"Why are you dragging me over here Stacie?"
"I've missed you."
Beca looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Okay fine two reasons. I heard about the sex dilemma and I want to help you plan your date and I also heard you were going through something. Chloe didn't go into all the details but it was enough for her to think you needed your best friend as soon as possible."
Beca nodded.
"Okay well there really isn't a sex dilemma, I mean every time we start someone interrupts, but I actually gave Chloe a bit of a teaser yesterday at he club."
She saw Stacie's face and continued.
"It was a private place, we were up in the booth, she looked so hot last night and we got caught up in the heat of the moment, so I took her to the DJ booth and helped her out. I cleared my schedule for tomorrow so our date will be tomorrow. Today Chloe is going into the studio, I'm making her my first artist."
"Wow that's amazing and totally help you plan your date with Chloe. I need Bechloe to have sexy times."
"Seriously Stace."
"Yes, I have supported you guys from the beginning and sex is one of the key things you need to make a relationship work."
Beca laughed and started walking out of the room.
"This conversation is done."
A little later in the day Beca, Chloe, Stacie and Jesse were sitting in Beca's office.
"Okay guys I need you to not embarrass me and please don't cause any disruptions."
Jesse and Stacie looked at Beca with their hands to their chest, faking offence.
"Us? Embarrass or disrupt? Don't worry about that Bec."
Beca rolled her eyes and grabbed Chloe, leading her out of her office and to a studio.
"Okay babe, they are going to try and intimidate you and make you feel the pressure, I just need you to focus and sing your beautiful heart out. There is a dude with a weird mustache he does this thing where he stares at you with an emotionless face to try and test you. Remember they secretly want you to do well but they have to test you, so if it looks like they don't like it, don't worry about it."
Chloe nodded as she quickly walked next to Beca.
"I think I got it."
They stood in front of the door and Beca gave Chloe a quick kiss.
"You've got this babe."
They walked through the door and saw a room full of people waiting.
"Hey everyone, this is Chloe Beale, the girl who is going to jump start HotShot 2.0."
Everyone in the room continued to stare and slightly nodded their heads except for Riley who brightly smiled at them. Beca walked Chloe into the studio and spoke to her in a low voice.
"Okay so right now I'm no longer your girlfriend, I'm your boss, I need you to give this your all and show them why you're here, don't mess up."
Chloe took a deep breath and nodded her head.
"Okay. I'm ready."
Beca left and went with the rest of the people and turned on the audio. Chloe smiled as she heard the tune coming through the headphones. It was titanium, she knew Beca had chosen the song and that made her feel a lot less nervous. She began to sing and paid no attention to the emotionless faces, but to the one face that looked at her with nothing but love and admiration. When she finished everyone left the room except Beca and Riley. Chloe walked out of the booth and smiled.
"Was I okay?"
"You were perfect Chloe."
Riley hugged Chloe and walked out of the room. Chloe turned to look at Beca.
"How did I do?"
"Like Riley said.. you were perfect. You did an amazing job and I know you and will make a great team making music together."
Chloe smiled and hugged Beca, then she leaned down and kissed her.
"Hey I want to-"
Roger frowned at what he saw.
"Beca in my office please."
Beca nodded and followed Roger to his office. She left, Chloe wondering what just happened.
"Beca I cannot have you doing that, you cannot mix business and pleasure, I'm sorry but you'll have to-"
"Roger no offense but I do not want to hear what you have to say."
"You can't date Chloe and work with her so you have to choose and if I know you like I know I know you I'll be seeing you tomorrow with Chloe as your new artist and ONLY your new artist."
Beca looked at him shocked.
"Well clearly you DON'T know me."
Beca walked out of his office with a sigh and made her way to her office.
"Is everything okay Beca?"
Chloe asked as she saw Beca packing her things.
"Yeah Chloe everything is fine."
Roger walked in a sighed.
"Beca you're making a mistake."
"I'm really not Roger."
She grabbed Chloe's hand and walked out with Stacie and Jesse following behind wondering what happened. Once they got in the car they all looked at Beca expectantly.
"What?"
"What the hell happened in there Beca?"
"I quit."
Chloe's eyes widened.
"What! Why?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Beca Mitchell tell me what the hell happened."
Beca sighed. "After he walked in on us kissing he told me to choose between you and working there.. obviously I chose you."
"Bec-"
"No Chloe I made my choice I won't change my mind."
She started the car and turned on the radio meaning the end of the conversation and drove home.
Chloe cautiously walked into their bedroom and saw Beca sitting on the edge of their bed with her phone. She sat next to her and smiled sadly at her.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine. Riley called Roger wants me to come back, he clearly underestimated my love for you."
"Stacie had a plan."
"What kind?"
"A plan that can help you keep your job and me."
"I don't wanna work for him."
"Work for him long enough to make sure you have your company, then you can leave."
Beca sighed. "What's the plan?"
"Simple... we have to fake break up. We say we broke up on good terms and still live together and that we are still friends but decided a relationship wasn't for us, not now at least."
"I am not doing that."
"Beca it's fine, I think it would be kind of hot to sneak around and like I said we are still friends so if people see us out it's fine."
"I'm not doing that shit just to please Roger."
"You love working at HotShot Beca, besides Roger being a fucking terrible boss, you love it. Please don't make me be the reason you're losing your favorite job."
Beca slowly nodded her head. "Fine."
A few hours later Beca was back at HotShot Records with a frown.
"Beca I hope you are here at this late hour for a good reason."
"Chloe and I mutually decided it would be best for my career if we broke up and I continued to work here."
Roger smiled.
"You guys made the right choice."
"Can I ask why you suddenly wanted Chloe and I apart."
Roger sighed.
"You won't like the answer but I don't really like that. I was attempting to deal with it but walking in on it I couldn't."
Beca almost jumped over the desk and smacked him but she remained calm. She needed this job just a little bit longer then she could start her company on her own.
"At least you tried."
Roger stuck his hand out. "See you and Chloe Monday?"
"Yeah. She's still gonna be living with me because she just moved out here and we're still friends."
Roger frowned.
"You broke up but you're still friends?"
Beca nodded.
"She broke up with me because of you, she told me I worked too hard to throw it all away for her; we both agreed to being just friends and roommates."
Roger nodded his head.
"Okay see you Monday."
Beca nodded her head and left.
When she got home she found Chloe, Jesse and Stacie sitting on the couch waiting for her.
They jumped up and said. "How did it go?"
"I got my job back, he said he couldn't 'deal' with our relationship, he tried but he couldn't. I only need a few months and I can be rid of him."
Chloe smiled and walked up to Beca. She grabbed Beca and started to kiss her.
"Roger can suck it."
She pulled Beca to their bedroom and they heard Stacie cheering in the distance.
