Chapter 3

"But with the beast inside

There's nowhere we can hide"

Bellas rehearsal was hell to say the least. Aubrey was unrelenting. She found out that two of the girls were with trebles last night and she kicked them out of the group. They learned the basics of acapella and Chloe and Aubrey started teaching them their routine.

At the end of practice everyone was exhausted, but Aubrey wasn't quite done with Beca. "Beca, a word," the blonde called out to the DJ, pulling her off to the side.

"Yes, Aubrey," Beca said, rolling her eyes.

The blonde leader paused before speaking. "You're going to have to take off those ear…things for our performances."

"That's not really why you pulled me aside, is it?"

Aubrey sighed. "I saw you getting really cozy with my best friend last night."

"So?"

"What are your intentions with her?"

"Seriously?"

"I love Chloe like a sister. I don't want to see her get hurt."

"You mean like you did to my cousin?"

"I took an oath, Beca. So did you. You should understand that."

"Aubrey, no oath would stop me if I really liked someone. He got really drunk last night after you rejected him. And then you left with Stacie. Jeez, I knew you were uptight and needed to get laid, but I didn't think it was so bad that you would pass over a nice guy for a sure thing."

"What I did with Stacie is my business, not yours."

"The same goes for me and Chloe."

"Fine." Beca turned to leave. "You're still going to have to take out those ear monstrosities," Aubrey called after her.

"Suck my dick," the brunette spat back.

…

"Hi, I'm Chloe Beale," the redhead said to the staff member at the desk in the lobby. "Beca Mitchell told me to just give you my name."

"Yes, one minute," the staff member replied. She pushed a button on a walkie-talkie before speaking into it. "Beca, your guest is here."

Beca voice rang through instantly. "I'll be there in a minute."

True to her word, Beca was there quickly and greeted Chloe with a kiss. "Thanks for coming."

"You invited me. Why wouldn't I come? Plus, I get to spend more time with you."

Beca smiled. "I have a couple of songs lined up to go, but I do have to get up to the booth. Do you want to come with or stay down here?"

"I can come up there?"

"Of course, babe."

"Then I will gladly join you."

Beca's smile grew even wider. "Order whatever you want. The bartenders will get it for you on the house."

"Another perk?"

"Something like that."

Chloe stayed with Beca in the booth the whole time while the DJ spun her set. They flirted a little in between songs, but mostly just enjoyed each other's company. After her set, Beca invited Chloe up to her hotel room for some more privacy, which the redhead gladly accepted. Once Beca opened the door, Chloe pounced on her, kissing her neck and running her hands up into Beca's shirt.

"Wait," the brunette said.

Chloe immediately pulled away. "What's wrong?"

Beca pulled away and took a deep breath. "I don't want to do this with you."

Chloe immediately got up and turned to leave. "Then you should have said…"

"Chloe, no," the DJ replied, stopping the other girl from leaving. "What I mean is that I just don't want to do this with you. I like you, Chloe. And it scares me because I never had a real relationship before."

"Okay. So what does this mean?"

Beca sat on the bed and pulled Chloe to sit next to her. "All my relationships in the past have been about sex. I've never had a real girlfriend or boyfriend. I've never liked someone enough to do that. But, you…you're different. I don't know why you are, but you are."

"Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?"

"I don't know. If I were would you accept?"

"Yes."

"Then Chloe, will you be my girlfriend?"

The redhead smirked. "Well, I don't know. You see there is this girl I like. She DJ's at the club and I find that kind of hot." Beca shook her head, laughing a little. "Of course, I'll be your girlfriend, Beca," Chloe replied before kissing the brunette. The kiss quickly became heated and Chloe once again ran her hands under Beca's shirt to only be stopped again. "Beca?"

"I want to do this right. I don't want to rush into things. I want when we finally do sleep together to be special."

"Okay," Chloe agreed. "But we can continue this?"

Beca kissed her hungrily. Both got so lost in each other that their only interruption was Beca's phone buzzing a short while later. Beca sighed as she broke away to read the message. It was from one of her black demons, the high ranking members of Jesse's and her organization. Only the black demons knew Jesse's and her true roles as Charon and Cerberus. The message stated that there was trouble in Maenad, the sex club, and that she was needed there.

"I have to go to the members' only club," Beca told her girlfriend. "One of the bartenders is late and they need me to fill in for a bit. Please, stay here. I'll be back shortly."

"Are you sure?"

Beca gave Chloe a short kiss. "Yeah. I shouldn't be long. Make yourself at home."

Chloe smiled at her as she left the room and called the elevator. Tapping her wristband once to the sensor, the numbers one through four lit up. She selected floor number three and waited for the door to open to small room containing two doors, one straight ahead for members and the other on the left for employees. Beca tapped her wristband to the sensor on the left door and headed into the office in the backstage area to meet with Hailie, the black demon who summoned her.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Cerberus," Hailie started.

"Then let's get on with this," Beca said, impatiently.

"One of our clients was caught manhandling one of the prostitutes."

"What did he or she do to one of my red demons?"

"He tied her up and choked her."

Beca got angry and stood up. "Who is this man that assaulted my demon?"

Hailie handed Beca a file. "His name is John Smith. We are currently holding him upstairs in Interrogation Room A."

Beca looked through his file and smiled, pulling out several documents. "Show him his original contract and highlight the section on conduct. Tell him for this reason he is hereby banned from this property. Furthermore, remind him of his non-disclosure agreement. If he disputes it, show him this documentation of his purchases from our blue demons. And tell him that we will cut him off."

"What drugs?"

"Cocaine and ecstasy. Use that as blackmail if need be."

"And if he still pushes the issue?"

"Kill him. I trust you can handle this," Beca asked standing up.

"Yes, Cerberus."

"Good. I have other business to attend to. Text me when the job is done."

"As you wish."

Beca left and headed back to hotel room to find Chloe fast asleep on her bed. Beca smiled, pulled off her own shoes and got into bed with her girlfriend. She pressed a kiss to the redhead's cheek and pulled her in close before drifting off to sleep.
