A girl I met
‘So you just walk in and she’s there?’ Jesse asked, wide-eyed. Stacie was leant across the bar listening to the conversation.
‘Mhmm.’ Beca nodded.
Jesse threw his hands up in the air. ‘It was meant to be! It’s like in the movies…coincidentally bumping into one another all the time!’
The short brunette rolled her eyes playfully. ‘It was just a coincidence, we just run the same circuit at work is all.’
‘Hey, if you’re not going to make a move, then I will. She’s cute.’ Stacie winked at her friend.
Beca sighed. ‘I can’t ‘make a move’, I don’t think she’s into me.’
‘Who’s not into you?’ Chloe appeared next to Beca, sitting down on a stool, causing Beca to nearly fall off of hers.
‘I-er, it’s a…’ Beca stammered, much to Chloe’s amusement. ‘A girl I met.’
Chloe nodded slowly, then scoffed. ‘How could she not be into you?’
Beca blushed lightly. ‘So, anyways, the album is coming along great.’
The redhead seemed confused by the quick change of subject but mentally shrugged and went along with it.
‘Yeah, I think you’ll easily meet the deadline.’ She grinned. ‘I can’t wait for it to be finished but it’s nice working with you guys.’
Beca nodded in response. ‘Yeah, it’s great.’
‘So…’ Chloe started. ‘Before one of us leaves, could I get your number?’
‘Oh erm, er-yeah of course, for sure.’ Beca fumbled with her pocket, getting her phone out, much to the amusement of Stacie and Jesse who were not so subtly watching their friend from the other side of the bar.
Later that night…
Beca sat at her desk, rubbing her eyes trying to wake herself up. She was trying to finish producing another song for the album, but her brain didn’t really want that to happen right now.
Her phone buzzed beside her, expecting it to be work, Beca was surprised to see Chloe’s name light up her phone.
Chloe: Hello you. I know you’re working right now. Take a break x
Beca chuckled and rolled her eyes, quickly typing out a reply. Are you outside my window?
Chloe: Maybe. Maybe not x
Creep;) Beca replied with a grin on her face.
Chloe: are you flirting with me? X
Beca could practically see the smirk on Chloe’s face as she blushed reading the text. Goodnight Beale x
Chloe: night Beca;) x
40 minutes later and Beca still couldn’t fall asleep without thinking about the redhead. Why is it so hard to stop thinking about someone…someone you can’t have?
She rolled out of bed, and sat back at her desk with her guitar, notepad, and pen. Maybe it wouldn’t kill her to carry on writing that song from the other day. And maybe, it might good.
The next day
‘I think I’ve nearly finished writing my song from the other day, but I was wondering if you could take a look?’ Beca rocked on her feet, handing the notepad to Ed.
He grinned at her, and nodded. ‘Of course.’
The brunette sat anxiously waiting for Ed’s response. She checked her phone multiple times without really paying attention to it at all.
‘So?’ She asked, as he put down the notepad.
‘It’s good.’ He nodded. ‘It’s really good. You almost done with it?’
She nodded back. ‘Yeah, I’ll be done like tomorrow maybe? Hopefully.’
‘I think you should record it.’ Ed said confidently.
‘Oh yeah? And have it totally bomb?’ Beca smirked, raising an eyebrow.
‘I mean; I’d totally buy it. And I’m sure the girl it’s written about would buy it too.’ He winked.
Beca rolled her eyes playfully. ‘Hm.’
