Monday night
"Can I ask you something?" Chloe said laying on Beca's chest tracing small circles on her assistant's stomach underneath the sheets.
After many apologies and comforting Chloe invited Beca to her home to talk more and of course something else. It's not the first time Beca has been over since she was invited over for work stuff and movie nights, which was Chloe's idea.
Later that night the couple were recovering and almost falling asleep since it was well over 11 pm and they had to go to work early tomorrow.
"Yeah," Beca said trying to fight off the drowsiness.
"Why are you working at the label?"
"I needed a job duh"
Chloe rolled her eyes and softly giggled. "I know that but like why the label and why for me?"
"I've told you before," Beca said hesitating a bit. "I just always wanted to be in the music industry and I noticed a spot was open," She shrugged. "I told myself it doesn't hurt to apply and lucky enough I landed an interview."
Beca sensed Chloe wanted to ask more so she continued. "I worked at a small record company and I was so excited to work there since I was working in retail out of high school and a few hours at the bar with Leslie." She continued "I was excited it was going to be my break. I know it was just an intern position but I finally moved up to an associate and It was honestly going well until my boss asked for my opinion one day" She continued as she lightly played with the red curls. "I did give my opinion on the track he was producing but I guess he didn't like my opinion so much so since he pretended I wasn't even there after that. I was just fetching stuff for everyone like I was an intern again."
"That sucks Bec, I'm sorry"
"Yeah it did but eventually I stuck with it for about two weeks until I saw your labels open position"
"And you've been here with me?" Chloe said turning to face Beca lying on her side.
"Yeah," Beca said "I'm honestly surprised Posen hired me"
"Why?"
"I'm sure there are other applicants with more experience than me"
"Probably, but the thing is that our label is different. We of course consider experience but we just want an honest person and I guess isn't afraid to be themselves during the interview."
"Makes sense"
"Yeah and honestly I'm really happy Bree hired you," Chloe said reaching up to cup Beca's cheek.
"Me too," Beca replied, her hand lazily rubbing circles Chloe's waist. She watched as a slow smile formed on Chloe's lips which showed that a random thought just popped up in the ginger's head.
"What?" Bec said with a small grin and narrowed eyes.
Chloe bit her lip, her blue sparking with amusement, "Bree told me"
"Told you what?" Beca furrowed her brows wondering what Posen told Chloe.
"That your roommate is also Stacie's ex," Chloe said "Why didn't you tell me that information?"
Beca groaned already knowing where this was going. "You don't think I was surprised too," Beca said "Jez you're making it sound like I committed a crime by not telling you this small piece of information"
Chloe giggled, "Because you never told me"
"Seriously? I was surprised too."
Beca shaked her head remembering back to that one night. "We went out for drinks one night where I introduced Jesse to Stacie and Posen. And can you believe that they did not recognize each other?" Beca pondered off for a second. "Well I guess Jesse did look different back then—he was kinda scrawny with longer hair. He showed me some old pictures, and I guess Stacie just didn't connect the dots right away."
Chloe smirked. "So when did she finally figure it out?"
"She recognized him when she got a good look at him once Posen went to the restroom."
Chloe giggled before pulling back slightly, her fingers lightly tracing Beca's jaw. "Were you and Jesse ever… a thing?"
Beca barely had time to process the question before Chloe's lips brushed hers again, teasing and slow.
Beca groaned softly, chasing Chloe's lips for another kiss. "No," she finally answered between breaths. "Just friends and roommates since I moved here. That's it."
Chloe smiled, "Good," she whispered, pulling Beca closer.
Beca smirked, her hands tightening around Chloe's waist. "Why? Would that make you jealous?"
Chloe rolled her eyes, but her grin betrayed her. "Maybe a little," she replied before capturing Beca's lips once again, making sure there was no room left for any more questions.
Tuesday
Chloe slowly opened her eyes as she knew that her alarm would ring any minute now. For the first time in a long time, she felt well-rested and how could she not when she is cuddled up with the person that she sees a life with? She wants this feeling every morning and every day for the rest of her life. She wasn't thinking about the label, her staff, the artist, or work in general which to her is a big deal since that's all she thought about. She wanted Beca in her life and she's gonna try her hardest to keep her in her life.
She gently turned her head and as she expected it softly bumped into Beca's since the woman in question was spooning her from behind. Beca exhaled deeply feeling Chloe shuffle around to turn off the alarm. "Bec, we got to get up"
"No" Beca whispered as she pulled her boss back to her so that Chloe was half on top of her.
"Bec," Chloe said as she pulled herself up to be above Beca but still lying on top.
"Shh" Beca said as she buried herself into Chloe.
Chloe lightly giggled. "Don't shush me, we have to get up"
"What you gonna do fire me?" Beca challenged as she traced her arms around Chloe's waist and leaned into a kiss.
As they pulled back, Chloe rolled her eyes playfully seeing Beca's teasing grin. "Of course not, I just might lower your pay if you arrive late and if you make me late."
"I don't care my boss doesn't pay me enough either way and she's not so good-looking"
Chloe gasped and began to get up but was pulled back in and was suddenly on her back with Beca between her legs with sheets tangled. She suddenly forgot what was said when her assistant gave her a kiss that made her heart flutter. "I thought I wasn't good-looking for you" She whispered once Beca pulled back and kissed her neck.
"You are much more" The brunette whispered. Chloe hummed, letting her fingers trail through Beca's messy hair.
"Okay, we got to go" Chloe lightly pushed Beca off her and she finally got Beca to get up.
"Fine," Beca said she let out a yawn and stretched her arms out sitting on the side of the bed. She turned her head to see Chloe walking to the restroom. "Damm" Beca lightly whispered not believing the night they had.
