Bechloe - Like A Record, Baby

Chapter IX

Beca's POV

After a full day of shopping, I'm exhausted. I'm seconds away from falling asleep. Chloe and I are back at my place lying on my bed and watching Netflix on my laptop. Chloe is curled into my side wearing my hoodie, which she looks extremely cute in by the way, as she watches the screen. I'm so comfy right now it's unreal. I'm in my sweats and a t-shirt while Chloe rests her head on my chest, has her arm around me, and leg over mine. She smells incredibly good and she feels so nice against my body. My room is the perfect temperature and I feel as if my bed is just going to engulf me at any moment.

Since I don't like watching movies, it's even harder for me to stay awake. I always fall asleep during movies or entertain myself some other way like playing on my phone but since I'm with Chloe, I don't do anything but look at the screen. God... What has this woman done to me? We only started dating last night and I'm already doing stuff for her that I'd never do with anyone else! Not even if they begged me. We went shopping, which I hate, and now I'm watching a movie with her that I'm trying ever so hard not to fall asleep as it plays.

Even though I'm tired, I can't stop thinking about this USO Tour thing. I don't even sing and Stacie just threw me into it without my permission. I was ready to kill her at that moment. She always drags me with her whenever she wants something and I know she's doing this just to get with Aubrey. Don't get me wrong, Stacie is a good friend but when she wants something she'll do whatever she can to get it. So, if all goes well with our 'auditions', we'll be going on this USO Tour all so Stacie can get in Aubrey's pants! It won't be all bad though, I'll get to be with Chloe and get a free trip to wherever it is we're going. I haven't traveled much so this should be good. I hope...

Just when I'm about to fall asleep, Chloe's phone rings, jolting me out of my state.

"Sorry, babe," Chloe pauses the movie and grabs her phone. "Hey, Bree... Okay... Oh! That's great! Yep... Alright... I'll tell her... No, I'm sure it'll be fine... Bree, don't worry about it, okay? They're just going to sing for us and that's it... You'll be fine... Stop being such a baby... You are! Listen, I've gotta go. Order us some pizza and we'll be there in fifteen... Okay... Bye." Chloe hangs up.

"What was that about?" I ask.

"Aubrey's agreed to listen to you and Stacie sing. We need two new singers so you're in luck!" Chloe sits up and stretches.

"Great,"

"What's wrong?"

"I just... I don't even sing..."

"Oh, Becs, don't give me that. You CAN sing. I heard you singing Titanium this morning when you were getting ready, which by the way is my lady jam."

I swallow hard. "Y, you're lady jam?"

"Yeah. The song really builds." She winks and I flush. "So, we'll head over to mine for your audition, which you'll ace with flying colours."

"Do I have to change?" I sigh.

"No, just go as you are. We're having pizza so it's just gonna be casual. Are you okay staying over at mine or do you want to go home?"

"No, it's okay. I'll stay over at yours if you want."

"Of course! I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want you over."

"Fair enough."

Chloe slides off my bed as I close my laptop and stretch out. Ugh, I'm so tired... I'm starting to wish that I had snuck in a quick power-nap during the movie. Hopefully, I won't be too tired to perform for Aubrey, not that I really care anyway but Chloe does so I have to put in some form of effort. After my stretch, I step into a pair of slip-on shoes and go to grab my hoodie from my drawer only to remember that Chloe's wearing it. I watch her sit on the chair in the corner of my room as she puts her shoes back on but she eventually catches me out.
