4 Years Too Long

Chapter 2

Beca loves to think back to that summer of love and happiness when she feels like shit. That seems to be all the time now. Her and Jesse have been fighting so much she doesn't even know why. Well, that's not true. She knew why. It's because her heart didn't belong to him. It never had, and it never will. It will always be with Luisa.

Her mind has been swimming through images of the blonde beauty so much so, that when said blonde was in front of her performing at the Car Show, she didn't even think anything of it.

It was until she heard that accent she knew so well that she finally realized it was no longer one of her fantasies, it was reality. Her reality.

"Barden Bella's. You came here to see us? Is it because you are, what do the American kids say, jelly," Luisa asks is a snarky voice.

"We are so not jelly," Chloe retorts.

Beca is trying so hard to act as if her heart isn't beating wildly. She's hoping that Luisa will give her a look like she remembers her. Maybe she doesn't. Beca decides to put on her front. No one will toy with this mouse.

"We should really thank you for making this tour a reality. You know, with your bumbling ineptitude." Luisa looks to the man next to her. "We should send them something. A fruit basket?"

"Yum yum," Luisa's second in command responds with.

"Or would you prefer mini muffins."

Beca decides she should say something, being the leader of the Bellas. "Okay, we didn't come here to start something with you guys. We just wanted to check you out before the worlds where we're gonna kick your ass."

"You? You are the kicker of ass? You are so tiny, like an elf, or is it a fairy, sprite," Luisa looks to her second in command to help her with the word she's looking for.

"Troll," he states

"That's it. You are like a troll."

Beca wants to blurt out saying, "You used to call me your tiny maus," but decides against it and goes with her second thought. "You are physically flawless."

Luisa smiles. "Thank you."

"But it doesn't mean I like you," Beca adds to not be suspicious that she knows her.

Chloe jumps in to try and save Beca from some embarrassment. "We are not scared about the world because when the Bella's step on stage, we are gonna blow minds."

Beca spaces out when Luisa's friend and Amy start bickering.

"Darlings, please take my advice. Dont try to beat us. You can't. We are the best. And now I really need to go rest my neck. It is sore from looking down on you."

"Okay, just because you are making me very sexually confused, does not mean that you are intimidating." Beca spaced out by then. Giving up trying to make sense of the words falling out of her mouth.

She knew Luisa had this spell over her, but she had hoped that the mask she put on would have saved her from this. Beca was never good at being anything other than a puppy around her. Always happy to see the blonde, no matter how she was feeling. Luisa will never know her feelings because she was too shy to say anything now. Luisa probably had someone by now. She never knew what her orientation was anyways. They always lived in the moment. That was so long ago. Luisa has probably forgotten all about her.

——-

Luisa almost died as soon as she saw her tiny maus. How could she not know that she was the leader of the Barden Bella's. She had tried keeping track of her once she went home to the States. Luisa never got the chance to tell her tiny maus that she loved her, and there is no way that her maus is still single. Luisa was not going to make a fool of herself by confessing the feelings she wanted to convey years ago, just to be shot down. She couldn't.
