"Mmm sure why not I've nothing better to do... Maybe on the mix, maybe Beale" Beca smirked.

Chloe walked into Beca's apartment with a smile on her face and began walking around. When she'd came before she had only ever seen Beca's lounge and her kitchen. She wandered around the rooms aimlessly looking around. Beca's place was cosy, but in a subtle way, there were a few frames pictures hanging from the walls here and there and occasionally a potted plant to lift the demeanour of the place. Chloe's stopped outside the only room that had its door closed, 'This must be her bedroom' Chloe thought.
"Yes, you can go in, no biggie," Beca smirked as she came round the corner to see Chloe simply standing outside her door, "it might be messy I have no idea," she stated honestly.

Beca's room was slightly different from the feel around the rest of the house, a small keyboard sat propped up against the girls wardrobe, obviously where she practices for the piano.
"Hey, why have you only got a keyboard and not a piano?" Chloe asked, lightly skimming her hand over the keys.
"Yeah, you try and fit a piano in this room Beale," Beca laughed before continuing, "nah it's just that obviously a piano can't really fit. So I use a keyboard coz it's the same keys just a kind of different sound."
Chloe hummed in response and looked around the room again, it was quite tidy. Chloe's eyes were drawn to a poster opposite Beca's wardrobe, stuck on the wall with... Blu-tac?
"I got it when I was 19, from my parents. It's signed you see, by him, Calvin Harris. He was a great DJ and I wanted to be like him when j was younger, so my parents bought me this one birthday and I've kept it ever since" Beca interrupted before Chloe could ask about the poster.
"Cool," was Chloe's simple reply. She then turned to Beca with an exited look in her eye, "Will you... Show me one? Just one?" She pleaded as she held Beca by her forearms.
"Wait in the lounge," Beca smiled and Chloe practically jumped on her in excitement, hugging her repeating 'thank you' as she walked out the door towards the lounge.

The pair sat on the sofa as Beca scrolled through her mixes as she tried to find one suitable for Chloe.
The brunette found that she felt ready to show Chloe her mixes, yes they were quite personal to her but they had become very close over the past few months and Beca felt she could trust her. Soon, she hoped to tell Chloe how she felt, she just needed to figure out how. The thought itself and having to keep her feelings to herself was simply killing her.

Beca found a mix and turned to Chloe who had turned to inspecting her nails, she coughed to get the girls attention, then once again a bit louder
"Huh? Oh sorry Bec I must've drifted off for a second," Chloe laughed.
"You don't say huh, here I found one," Beca took her beats headphones and placed them carefully over Chloe's ears then sat back and flicked to the mix, she looked at Chloe once more who gave her a warm smile. Beca hit play on the mix and mentally cringed, nervous about what Chloe would think of her music.

A few minutes later, Beca hit pause at the last second of her mix and cautiously glanced at Chloe with a hopeful look on her face.
"Mmmm what does that face mean Chlo...." Beca said hesitantly as she watched Chloe sit silently, headphones loose round her neck.
Beca clicked her fingers in front of the redheads face a few times before Chloe simply turned to Beca and beamed.
"Dude, you seriously creeped me out there I though like you were sleeping with your eyes open! Did you, erm, like it?" Beca rubbed the back of her neck nervously. Chloe's smile just seemed to get brighter when Beca asked her that,
"Did I like it? Wait, you did that right, your not just like playing my Calvin Harris..." Chloe asked laughing, Beca simply shook her head in response.
Beca was least expecting Chloe to do what she did next. The headphones were discarded gently on the coffee table and Chloe's arms were wrapped round Beca's neck,
"Beca that was fucking amazing, i didn't like it I loved it! I can't believe you don't show other people this its awesome!" Chloe squealed into Beca's ear as she squeezed Beca tight in her embrace. She finally released and Beca's stormy eyes locked into the bright blue orbs of Chloe's and she gave a bright, genuine smile.
"Thanks Chlo, that meant a lot. Like properly... Thanks," Beca blushes slightly and looked down.

A few hours, some Netflix and a few more mixes later, Chloe decided she'd call it a day, she rose from the couch.
"Right Mitchell I better be going," she stated.
"I'll show you out," Beca said, getting up and walking towards the door.
"What a gentleman,"
"Well I try my best," Beca smirked. Chloe got her jacket and walked out the door briefly then spin around again to face Beca,
"Thanks for today, it was good to y'know not talk about work that much and just get to know you... I can tell we're gonna be close friends," Chloe laughed and winked, "and you should totes show me some more mixes when you make them," she smiled.
"Chlo I don't think I'd even let you in my house if we weren't going to be, or are, close friends." Beca smirked, again, "and yet again, maybe on the mixes you never know."
Chloe laughed, then she stepped towards Beca and placed a light kiss on her cheek before quickly hugging the girl and waving behind her as she sauntered off towards her car, leaving Beca standing stunned. The brunette mumbled a goodbye and closed the door, still in shock.
