"Here she is, superstar!", Dan would get up from his desk going over and shaking Beca's hand as she'd enter the room. "Congratulations on the number one single"

"It was all down to you man, so thank you", she'd shake his hand smiling a little as she'd sit down on the chair in front of his desk, watching him walk back round and sit down.

"No way! You wrote the song, I just pushed a few buttons", he'd lean back in his chair, "Who was the song about anyway?", he'd smirk now watching her go wide-eyed and look shocked at him.

"What do you mean? I just wrote a song.. It's not- I mean no one", she'd stutter trying to form a complete sentence and look relaxed sitting there as Dan would raise his eyebrow staring at her.

"Come on, cut the bullshit Beca!", he'd lean forward resting his arms on the desk in front of him as she'd go quiet listening him. "I know that song had to be about a special someone you've got, so spill it!"

"I can't say!", she'd shrug her shoulders giving into him, "Besides she has a boyfriend so there's no way I've got a chance with her", she'd play with her hands looking down at her lap avoiding looking up at Dan, who was feeling guilty and sympathetic for her.

"I'm sorry Beca, I didn't realise it was like that"

"It's okay, no big deal. I'm still kind of confused and trying to figure it all out in my head so", she'd smirk looking back up at him slightly.

"Hey, you know you could always sing it if you can't say it to her", he'd lean back on his chair opening up his laptop now.

"What do you mean?", Beca would grow curious watching him typing and scrolling on his laptop.

"Well, if you don't want to say it to her because of obvious reasons in that she has a boyfriend and stuff. You can just say what you want through a song, and that way it leaves everyone guessing who the song is about but it might make her realise something", he'd stop typing and would look over at her.

"Good idea, it's actually her birthday in a couple of weeks", she'd stare into space thinking to herself about what song to sing. "Can you-"

"Already done, I've just booked you to come in at the end of the week and start recording", he'd intertwine his fingers together spinning in his chair to face her with a smirk on his face.

"Show off", she'd laugh along with him.

...

The rest of the week Beca would be in the studio alongside Dan recording the song that she would sing at Chloe's birthday. Dan would constantly pester her and ask for the girl's name that the song was about but Beca kept quiet and didn't tell anyone.

It was now Friday and Beca promised Jesse that she would go out for drinks with him and Aubrey. The two of them had gotten closer since Beca's release party and Beca had been invited to be a third wheel, which she reluctantly agreed to.

Meeting them at a cocktail bar downtown, Beca would be sat at a table with her drink waiting for them to arrive. After a couple of minutes scrolling through her phone she'd look up hearing Jesse say her name. She'd get up, hugging Jesse and then saying hello to Aubrey before sitting down and waiting for them to order their drinks to the waiter.

"Hold up, did you just order three drinks between the two of you?", Beca would sip her drink looking confused at both of them.

"They aren't all for us", Aubrey would reply making Beca even more confused still looking at Jesse for an explanation.

"Well.. I thought you'd get bored as a third wheel so I invited someone to be your date for the night, keep you company", he'd smile a little trying to read her reaction.
