Just one look

Beca's point of view:

Today I'm home alone. Chloe is to the hairdresser with Aubrey. She's dying her hair back to ginger again and I love that! I always loved her ginger hair, so I'm more than happy. I just woke up and I already know what I'm going to do today. Chloe is at the hairdresser for me right now, so I want to make a remix especially for her. I don't want to make only one remix for her, I'm going to take her out for diner to. Just the two of us, a romantic date. Chloe and I didn't have a real date yet, because of the shooting and my coma. I want to surprise her big time. She deserves everything, she deserves the best and I want to give her everything. I'm sitting behind my laptop right now. A remix... uh, which one? Definitely "Titanium". I can't let that one out, because it's her lady jam. She has told me that when we were in the showers, so I have to put that one in. Hmmm, which song fits that? "Bulletproof" from La Roux of course. "This time baby, I'll be bulletproof!", just the song Chloe loved while I was singing it. Aubrey didn't think it was a nice set of me and that was true. Later I apologized for changing the set, but I know Chloe liked it. First I need a reservation at restaurant Eugene in Atlanta. Chloe need the best of the best. I prefer New York, but that's too far away. I follow the website and make a reservation for 7 PM. Now my remix for Chloe. The back sound from "Titanium" or from "Bulletproof"? Let's test "bulletproof" first. I put the back sound in and the lyrics from "Titanium". My headphone on my ears and the beat through my ears. It don't fit. The melody and stuff. It doesn't sound good. The other way around. I switch the back sound and the lyrics. Way better! Now I put the lyrics from "Titanium" in it. A little echo in it. It sounds really good actually.
,,I'm bulletproof nothing to lose, fire away fire away..." I sing with the lyrics, while I let sound the lyrics from "bulletproof" a little in the background. It goes very well.

After two hours the remix in done and I'm happy with it, but it's not about me. Chloe has to like it, it's for her. O I need some advice! I grab my phone and call Jesse. He's still my best friend, so...

Becaw!
Hi, Jesse. What are you doing?
Nothing, why?
Well, can you come to me? I need your help.
With what?
You will see that when you are here. Please, I really need you.
Okay, I'll be on my way. Just stay there.
I'm not going anywhere.
Good!

Jesse hung up and I'm nervous. What if Jesse doesn't think it's a good remix? If nobody likes it, Chloe don't like it either. It's good that she isn't here right now. I'm getting sick of this. My nervousness is killing me right now. Than the doorbell is ringing. Huh? Is that Jesse already? That's quick. I ran downstairs and when I open the door, it's Jesse indeed.
,,That's quick Jesse."
,,I couldn't let my best girlfriend wait, right?" Laughing I slap him, but not hard. I let him in and immediately we are walking upstairs again. ,,What is the problem?"
,,This remix." I point towards my laptop screen. ,,I just made it for Chloe, but I doubt whether it is good enough for her."
,,Well, let me hear. I am an expert with this kind of stuff." I stick out my tongue, press play and the bedroom filled it with my remix.

Chloe's point of view:

I open the front door and listen if I hear Beca. I walk into the living room, but I don't see her anywhere? She's upstairs working on a remix, I think. She told me yesterday that she missed it to make a remix, so... I open the refrigerator and grab a juice. My hair is ginger again and I know Beca is very happy with that. I was getting tired of my blond hair. I loved my blond hair, but, I don't know, maybe I only changed it back for Beca. She does love this hair and I want to make her happy. Than I hear some singing from upstairs. Definitely Beca, but who's that other voice. It's a guy, of that I'm sure. I'll just check. I put my juice on the bar table and walk upstairs, towards my bedroom. Well, Beca and my bedroom. In front of the door I stop. They are singing "Titanium" and do I hear a remix? The remix starts again and this time Beca and Jesse, I recognize his voice now, are quiet. The remix is awesome by the way.
,,Beca, this is really good." I hear Jesse say and I agree with him a hundred percent.
,,Thanks, I'm hoping it's good for Chloe, because I really want her to know how much I love her."
,,I'm sure she will love this remix."
,,But what if it's not good enough? What if she expects more?" O, Beca. Don't be so insecure. I love every remix that you are making and I know for sure that you are becoming a very famous DJ in the future. Wait a minute... did Beca made that remix for me?
,,So Becs?"
,,Yeah Jes?"
,,When are you going to show it to Chloe? Do you even know what time she will be at home?"
,,No, I don't. But I do know that we should be careful because I don't want to ruin the moment and mess up my plan to show her at the right time. I have a special evening planned tonight, so nothing can ruin that."
,,But what are you going to do if she's standing outside this room right now? Maybe you should text or call her to ask her when she's arriving at home?"
,,Good idea. I'll call her immediately." What?! I grab my phone and to my relief I see that it's on vibrate. Quickly as I can I ran in the bedroom of my parents and close the door. My phone goes off and I pick it up.

Hey Becs, what's up?
Hey, I'm just wondering. Where are you right now? At this moment?
I'm just, uh, at the store. Is there anything you need?
At the store? But you where at the hairdresser with Aubrey right?
Aubrey needed some stuff from the store, sorry I didn't call you.
It's okay. Can you just text or call me when you are on your way home?
Yeah sure babe, no problem. Sorry babe, Aubrey call me. Talk to you later, bye love you.
Love you too.

I hung up and open the door. I walk back to our bedroom to listen, but I don't hear a thing. Then the doorknob is getting down and I ran back to my parents bedroom, with the door ajar. Beca and Jesse are coming out of the bedroom and just stand in the hallway right now. I can't move, so I have to listen.
,,Do you really think she will like the mix?" Beca ask Jesse. Why is she so insecure? ,,I don't want to lose her, I really want to surprise her with the songs on the mix." Is she really thinking that she will lose me? I can't leave her, I love her so much! Why does she keep thinking like that. I want to tell her that she don't lose me and that she has to stop thinking like that, but than she will know I have heard her and that's not in the planning.
,,Becs, stop. You are going to blow her mind. She will love it, because you are the love of her life. She loves everything you do, don't worry." Beca sigh.
,,It doesn't feel good, the remix. Maybe I put it to fast in one?"
,,Why are you doubting so much about your remix for Chloe?"
,,Because Chloe is special and I want her to feel special when she's around me. I want her to know that I'll do everything for her, that I love her so much, that I don't want to live without her. It needs to be perfect, not just good." I see that they are heading downstairs again. I sneak out of my parents bedroom and just stand for a second in the hallway. I know that Beca will do everything for me. She caught a bullet for me, that's proof enough. She is special too, but she doesn't see that. I love her so much, I can't live without her. I will text her right now, otherwise she will get worried. I will be home a little later, sorry. Aubrey needed something different. I walk downstairs and hear Beca.

,,Jesse, Chlo just text-ed me that she will be later. She needs to go somewhere with Aubrey. What is she doing? Do I have to get worried?"
,,No, Aubrey is Chloe's best friend. Just let her be, she is just a little bit late. No big deal right?"
,,I have a reservation, I can't cancel that." A reservation? Where?
,,Where do you have a reservation and what time?"
,,Restaurant Eugene in Atlanta at 7 PM."
,,Then Chloe has about an hour, before you two have to go. Becs, just relax. The big question is already out, right?" That's true. Beca already asked me to marry her and I said yes. What is she so nervous about? Only about the remix?
,,It's crazy you know."
,,What is crazy Beca?"
,,That you can miss somebody so badly. I mean Chloe is away for a view hours, but I miss her so much right now. I just want to hold her and never let her go." Aw, Beca is such a sweetheart. Sometimes I wonderer why she's calling herself a badass. Quiet as I can, I open the front door and walk outside. I text Aubrey: Aubrey if Beca ask, I was with you today at the store. Don't give me questions, just do it. I had some of your credit left, so please do me this favor. Xx C. Aubrey and I text always like this. With only our first letter. We already know that I'm "C" and she's "A", so we don't have to change a thing. I put my phone back in my pocket and sigh a little. Now I have to walk inside and act like I don't know a thing. I grab the door knob... okay, here I go. I open the door and walk inside... the act can begin.
