Mitchsen: Bus Ride

Chapter 2: Coffee Break

Beca was busy with her mixes when Aubrey texted her later that day.

Stacie, her roommate/best friend yelled across the kitchen. "Beca! Your phone is buzzing like hell!"

Beca pulled herself away from the table and trotted to the kitchen. When she attempt to grab her phone, Stacie lifted the phone over her head. "Before that, answer me first. Who is this Aubrey Posen? How did you get to know a Posen?

Beca jumps and grabbed it with precision. "Dude! Gimme my phone!". Yeah, she's short. But that doesn't mean she's not athletic.

She rested on the counter top, reading the text with a grin on her face. There were a few texts and miss calls from the studio and her dad. But it's the last message that Beca was interested in.

Meet you tomorrow at 2pm. Coffee Break is down the street by the park. Just tell them that you are a friend of Aubreys' and they will bring you to my usual table. =)

Aubrey

Noticing the expression on her usually cool friend, Stacie grabbed Beca and started tickling. "Answer me!"

Struggling to get out of Stacie's grab, Beca admitted defeat.

"She's someone I met. Why are you interrogating me on this anyway?"

"Hello?!" Stacie exclaims. "The Posen family are like the richest family in Georgia? How could you not even know when you met a Posen? Even the record company you are interning in now rents studios from them!" Stacie was shocked that her amazingly updated buddy in all music and entertainment is unknown to the fact that the Posen family literally owns half of the record studios in Georgia.

"Owh...Well, how the hell would I know?! I don't go on E!Network as frequently as you do." Beca grabbed some soda and walked to the couch with Stacie following. "Well, even if I did meet a Posen, what's the big deal about it? She's just a person, and I saved her ass the other day. That's all"

"Okay then." Submitted to whatever Beca had just said, she sat on the opposite couch. Still curious about the texts. "What did Ms. Aubrey Posen have said that made you, my usually poker faced buddy grinned like an idiot?"

"I did not!" Beca threw a pillow at Stacie which she caught easily with her long slender arm. "She merely invited me for coffee to thank me."

"Right..." Stacie nodded, laying on the couch, thinking about how to lay out the information. "From what I have known, The Posen family runs on very strict rules. The head of the family, Colonel Posen used to work in the military before he started his own business in property. They usually do things that are basically only beneficial to them and their children are to follow his footsteps and never to dishonor the family. I heard that their parents had a whole blueprint planned out from the moment they are born till their deathbed. Though I've heard their children are pretty humble and there is an odd one out, I still suggest that you raise your guard up. I don't know what might happen. But, you know...handling with business people was never true and easy. I just don't want you to get hurt, okay?"

Taking in everything, Beca is grateful that Stacie had her back. She genuinely worries about Beca. She was always a sweetie anyways, taking care of Beca and all. But something about this beautiful blonde kinda got Beca's interest. It's the way she wouldn't backed down even thought she knows she's probably gonna take a blow. Like the kind that would do what's right, instead of submitting to what the situation expects. "Alright, I will have a look out on that. If there is anything fishy going on, I'll let you know asap." Beca smiles. "And thanks Stace, for giving me a heads up. Just a hunch, but I think this Posen might just be the black sheep of the family. I'm basically a nobody, I doubt that there is any benefactor of me for her. So, she didn't even need to thank me." Beca shrugged.
