I could be the one

Little things

Beca grinned brightly as she listened to Chloe singing happy birthday to her down the phone. The brunette had called her after she had finally walked out of the studio with Demi at 4pm. She was currently on her way to a diner with the singer after working almost all day, without any communication to the outside world. Apparently songwriting takes up a lot of time, and it seems to fly by when you don't have your phone to distract you, apart from during 5 minute breaks every few hours, much to Beca's dismay.

So after several hours of working on the chords and coming up with lyrics to the song (which they were nowhere near done with, by the way) Beca had called Chloe straight away. The redhead didn't hesitate to yell "happy birthday" down the phone to her in possibly the highest voice Beca had ever heard. Demi, who was the one driving, just smiled brightly to herself at the glee in Beca's face after finally hearing her favourite girl's voice.

Not all of the day was as chipper as this moment now though, as Beca had gotten a call on one of her breaks from the dog kennel, telling her that they had some sort of family emergency and that they wouldn't be able to look after Jake. The brunette debated on calling Jesse and asking him to go and pick her pet up but then she remembered that he had tons of work after he had gotten a chance at scoring and producing the soundtrack for 'four'.

She figured that the only person she could ask to take him was Chloe because Jake didn't seem to like anyone else. If only she could get a word in.

"-happy birthday to Becaaaa, happy birthday to you!" the brunette then laughed as she heard Chloe singing "hip hip, horaay!" down the phone.

"Thanks baby" Beca said as she smiled at Demi who must have heard the redhead singing.

"Did you like it?!"

"I loved it, it was awesome. And I think Demi liked it too" the DJ laughed.

"Demi?! You're with her right now?!" the redhead yelled, and yes, Demi heard her.

"Hey Chloe!" the singer shouted loud enough so Chloe could hear her.

The blonde laughed loudly when she heard Chloe scream through the phone. Beca had to remove the phone from her ear because of the loud sound that echoed around the car.

"You alright there, red?" Beca smirked as she held the phone up to her ear again.

"Oh my God, as if she heard me singing to you!"

"You're a great singer, Chloe"

She grinned when she heard Chloe scoff through the speaker. "Yeah, right!"

"Demi agrees with me so you must be"

"Holy shit, I can't believe you're with her!"

The brunette could only laugh at Chloe's excitement.

"How's your birthday going anyway?" the redhead asked in a seemingly calmer tone.

"It's okay, it'd be better if you were here." the brunette frowned almost, but then rolled her eyes playfully as Demi pushed her arm, probably wanting to tell her that she's turned to a big ball of mush since she met the redhead.

"I miss you, Becs" Chloe's tone softened.

"I miss you too"

"I can't wait for you to get back"

"I know, me neither. I uh.. I have to ask you a favor though and it doesn't matter if you can't but.. Do you think you could pick Jake up from the kennel for me?"

"Huh? Why?"

"There's apparently been a big family emergency, I don't know- but they can't look after him. I told them that I'd ask someone to go pick him up ASAP because obviously I can't.. It's fine if you-"
