Chapter 8
"How am I dressing? Casual or fancy?" Beca sent the text to Aubrey while looking at every single piece of clothing she owned thrown all over her room
"Casual x" Beca smiled at the response, thanking whatever gods that were listening for the fact that she didn't have to wear a dress or heels and set about getting ready
Beca didn't know how much time passed but she was sure as hell that it wasn't two hours when she heard someone knocking on the door and went over to unlock it
"I'm nearly ready" Beca tripped when she was trying to pull one of her shoes on and glared at Aubrey when she heard the blonde laugh
"Take as long as you need, we're not on a time limit" Aubrey looked around Beca's room and shook her head with a smile when she seen all the clothes thrown about before sitting on the edge of her bed, "You look stunning, Becs"
"Thanks" Beca smiled at Aubrey through the mirror, "Words can't describe how good you look right now"
"I'm going to take that as a compliment" Aubrey smiled back before standing and wrapping her arms around Beca's waist
"I'm ready" Beca turned in Aubrey's arms and pressed a kiss to her neck, "Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise" Aubrey held Beca's hand and pulled her out of the room
"I don't like surprises"
"I think you'll like this one"
They were fifteen minutes into walking and Beca was still complaining about not liking surprises and how long it was taking and Aubrey was trying her hardest not to laugh at her
"Becs" Aubrey said with a smile, "If you would stop complaining for one minute you would realise that we've been stopped for five minutes"
"Oh" Beca said and looked around, "Where are we?"
"I couldn't think of where to take you. You don't like movies so no cinema, you don't like dressing up so no restaurant and I wasn't about to take you to burger king for our first date, we don't live near a beach and if we did I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that anyway-"
"True"
"So, if you'll just climb up that ladder there you'll see what we're doing" Aubrey finished with a proud smile
"If this is some sort of elaborate plan to kill me via pushing me off a building I will haunt your ass so bad" Beca warned her before climbing up the ladder
"Do you like it?" Aubrey asked when they reached the roof and Beca hadn't said anything
"This is… How did… Wow" Beca stuttered, looking at the fairy lights outlining white blankets on the floor and illuminating a small basket and an iPod dock
"I figure we can just talk and eat and listen to music while being in a comfortable and private area" Aubrey said nervously
"This is amazing" Beca breathed, "How did you do this?"
"Chloe helped" Aubrey admitted
"I love it" Beca turned back to Aubrey with a smile
"Oh, thank god" Aubrey sighed before pulling Beca over to the blankets
"Want to play twenty questions?" Beca asked after getting comfortable on the blankets
"Sorry?"
"To get to know each other better"
"Oh, sure" Aubrey shrugged, "You first"
"Um, what's your favourite animal?"
"Puggles"
"What are those?" Beca asked
"They're a cross between a pug and beagle, hang on" Aubrey pulled her phone out and went into her gallery
"You save random pictures of dogs in your phone?" Beca looked at Aubrey surprised
"Only puggles, look how cute they are" Aubrey gushed, "I love them"
Beca just looked at Aubrey and shook her head with a smile as the blonde scrolled through seemingly endless amounts of photos of dogs with her hand covering her mouth and waited until Aubrey finally managed to put her phone away
"Stoic Aubrey Posen turned to mush over puppies" Beca teased with a smile
"They're cute. What's your favourite?" Aubrey asked, nudging Beca's side
"Red pandas. They're like a fox and a raccoon and a bear and a dog and a cat so they're every adorable animals in one animal." Beca's voice got progressively higher and like she was talking to a baby the more she spoke before turning completely serious, "How badly do you think I'd have to sell out to be able to own one?"
"Oh my god, that's adorable" Aubrey couldn't keep the image of Beca gushing over Red Panda's at the zoo out of her head
"I'll have like a farm of red panda's one day." Beca sighed, "Okay, back to business. If you weren't studying law, what would you be doing?"
"Something to do with music I think" Aubrey nodded, "Singing, probably. Maybe trying to make it onto Broadway. Weirdest compliment you've ever received?"
"I'd watch you on Broadway. Um, oh, back in high school senior year I had this boyfriend and we had been dating for like a year and a half and he told me I would look so beautiful tied up" Beca said, cringing at the memory "I broke up with him after that"
"Oh my god, you dated a potential serial killer"
"Right? That was a close one" Beca pretended to wipe sweat off of her brow, "If you had to choose one super power, what would it be?"
"To be able to control the probability of something" Aubrey spoke after a minute's silence
"That's lame"
"No, listen. If I went to the casino I could change my probability of winning to one hundred percent. I would be certain to pass all my classes and to succeed in my field, I could change every probability of everything to work in my favour" Aubrey explained and smirked at Beca's look
"Okay, yeah that is pretty cool" Beca admitted, "I'm stealing that"
"You're welcome. What's the sickest you've ever been?"
"Long story short, I was throwing up all night and decided to have a shower to try to feel fresh and go to bed, ended up being too tired to leave said shower and thought it was a good idea just to sleep in it so I turned the water off, used a towel as a blanket and fell asleep in this tiny ass shower. Woke up three times to throw up which got all over me but I just went back to sleep and when I woke up again I took another shower for obvious reasons and went to bed and spent the entire next day throwing up"
"That's disgusting" Aubrey's face was screwed up, "What was wrong with you?"
"Coming from you who puked over a third row of people" Beca teased, "I don't know, the next day I was fine."
"That was one time" Aubrey groaned, "No one is ever going to let me live that down"
"You know it"
Aubrey just shoved Beca's shoulder before leaning against it, smiling when Beca wrapped her arm around her shoulders and they sat just listening to the music for a while
"This is actually one of the best dates I've been on" Beca murmured
"I'm glad" Aubrey pressed herself closer to Beca
Aubrey isn't sure when exactly she fell asleep all she knew that she woke up with arms around her and the sun in her eyes and she couldn't imagine being any happier than she was in the moment when Beca looked at her and mumbled a sleepy good morning and tightened her arms around Aubrey's waist. They spent half the morning wrapped in each other's arms, exchanging quiet words in between kisses before Beca's phone snapped them out of it
"Hello?" Beca snapped into the phone, "Okay. Yep. Oh my god, it's fine. I'm fine. Okay, I'll be there soon"
"Who was that?" Aubrey had her chin on Beca's chest as she looked up at her
"Stacie. She's demanding that I go to her dorm and tell her all about our date" Beca rolled her eyes, "She can wait a while longer"
"Good. I'm not ready for you to leave yet" Aubrey pressed a kiss to Beca's chest
"I'm not ready to leave yet" Beca admitted, stroking Aubrey's hair
They laid together for another hour before they both reluctantly decided it was time to leave
"What about all of this?" Beca asked, gesturing to all the stuff they were leaving behind
"I'll come collect it later. Would you be willing to go on another date with me?" Aubrey asked, holding her hands behind her back
"Of course" Beca smiled, "When?"
"Tomorrow afternoon?"
"You have another one planned so soon? Confident are we?"
"Hopeful" Aubrey shrugged, smiling at Beca
"What time and what do I wear?"
"Ten thirty and casual again. Comfortable shoes"
"How was it? What did you do? Was she nice? Do I need to beat her up?" Stacie asked in rapid fire the second Beca walked through her door
"It was amazing. She had a cute little picnic thing set up and we just talked and listened to music. She was perfect. Please don't beat her up" Beca replied with a small smile on her face, "I think we're going to be okay"
"What did you talk about?" Stacie brought her knees up to her chin and looked at Beca expectantly
"Everything. Just finding out the little things about each other, you know?"
"Like what?"
"Like I didn't know that she even liked animals let alone kept pictures of puggles on her phone. I didn't know she liked music and singing so much that if she wasn't studying law she would pursue a career in it"
"You think it's going to stick?"
"I hope so"
"How was it?" Chloe asked while they were packing everything up
"Fantastic. Extraordinary. Spectacular" Aubrey smiled, "It went perfectly"
"Is there going to be a second date?"
"Tomorrow"
"You move quick" Chloe smiled, "I'm happy for you, Bree"
"Did you know she was obsessed with red pandas? You should've see her gushing over them. You know that voice you get when you talk to puppies? She done that"
"What you doing? – B"
"Thinking about some girl, you? – A"

"I am, very much so. Can I listen to it when it's done? – A"
"Good, I think she would be into you as well. Of course – B"
"Do you think that girl would be willing to meet up at twelve o'clock – when did it get so late? – at night for a coffee? – A"
"I think she'll meet you at the 24/7 campus café in twenty – B"
