Superstar

Chapter 4

"So what did you do yesterday when we left you behind?" Chloe asked Stacie as they sat down at their breakfast table.

"Nothing much, I went out for a walk then had some pastries before coming back here." Stacie shrugged.

"Sounds boring." Amy said.

"It was awesome actually." Stacie said with a slight blush.

"You weren't alone were you? Who were you with?" Chloe asked with a smirk.

"No one." Stacie quickly answered. "Let's go get some juice."

"You'll tell me eventually." Chloe smirked.

They walked over to the juice bar and ordered two orange juices. They then walked back to the table. At least that's what Chloe thought. Stacie was standing next to the bar with Emily.

"Since when is Stacie all buddy buddy with a member of Dynamic?" Flo asked as the whole table looked at the two.

Stacie then came back to the table with a blush on her face.

"Holy crap. Is she the one who you hung out with yesterday?" Aubrey asked.

"Maybe, she is." Stacie smirked.

"Damn you got game girl." Cynthia smiled.

They had their breakfast then went to rehearse for their performance.

The day of the concert came around and everyone was getting ready backstage. Stacie was done with her hair and makeup so she was walking towards the tech guy to get a mic. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Emily standing in front of a mirror looking at her reflection.

"You look beautiful." Stacie said from behind the girl.

"I could say the same for you." Emily smiled at Stacie's reflection.

"I guess I do clean up really good. Can I ask you a question?" Stacie asked with a shaky breath.

"Sure thing." Emily took Stacie's hand and smiled softly at her.

"Damn your hands are soft." Stacie whispered under her breath thinking that Emily didn't hear her.

"Thanks, I use cocoa butter." Emily winked and Stacie got even more nervous.

"What are you still doing here? You have to start the concert in five minutes. Go get a mic and join your brother and sister please." Katherine told the younger girl who nodded.

"Can we talk after the concert?" Emily asked and Stacie nodded.

Emily smiled and kissed Stacie on the cheek. "I look forward to seeing you on stage Miss Conrad." Emily said before walking away to get her mic.

"Okay, see you too.... I mean I'll see you on stage doing....and she's gone. Why am I rambling and why are my palms so sweaty?" Stacie asked herself as she looked at her hands.

"Better question is who the hell are you talking to Stace?" Aubrey raised and eyebrow at the girl.

"What would you say if I told you I was in love with someone even though I barely know them?"

"I'd say you're crazy and you've been spending too much time with Chloe." Aubrey said before pulling Stacie to the tech guy.

After all the groups were done singing they either went to get changed or watched Dynamic end the concert. Stacie went to get changed and stood near Emily's dressing room.

"That was an incredible performance Miss Conrad. I wasn't disappointed." Emily said as she and Stacie walked to her dressing room.

"I'm glad you liked it. I was really hoping you would."

They walked into the room and closed the door.

"So what did you wanna talk about earlier?"

"I actually wanted to ask you if you'd have a problem if I kissed you. It's kinda embarrassing actually." Stacie rubbed the back of her neck.

"Not really, it's kinda sweet. If we go on a date I'll be cool with kissing you." Emily smiled.

"Really?!" Stacie asked like an excited kid.

"Yes, really." Emily chuckled.

"Let's go on a date then." Stacie grabbed Emily's hand.

"I have to change first." Emily smiled.

"Trust me you look awesome." Stacie smiled and pulled Emily out the dressing room. Emily quickly grabbed her phone and they were off.

They took a walk before they found a food truck. They had their food and took a few photos as well.

Meanwhile at the hotel Beca was sitting in the lounge. "Sweetie I know you love your sister a lot, but you have to go to your room. She'll be back soon." Katherine said.

"What if she gets lost and can't find her way back?" Beca asked in a panicked tone.

"Beca, your sister has been to England before. She's been to this hotel many times before. She also has a photographic memory. Stop worrying." Katherine sighed.

"I can't! What if someone mugs her and she gets hurt?"

"Then you making her go to all those self defense classes was a waste of time." Katherine smiled.

"Okay fine, I'll stop worrying." Beca sighed and Katherine smiled before leaving.

"You worry about your sister often?" Chloe asked from behind the girl.

"She's not the toughest person, so I feel the need to protect her. Everyone around me says I'm being too overprotective." Beca sighed.

"I think it's cool of you to care so much, but maybe you are going overboard. I mean you did stop her from coming on the tour because she cut her hand."

"Now that I'm hearing it out loud, it sounds stupid." Beca chuckled.

"It's not stupid, it's sweet." Chloe smiled and Beca returned it.

"Thanks. So what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to go for a walk in the garden. Wanna join me?" Chloe asked and Beca nodded.

Beca wasn't the type to want to talk with people if it wasn't necessary but for some reason the redheaded girl was an exception.

They walked around the garden and talked about whatever came to mind. The conversation wasn't force and whenever they had silence it was comfortable.

"This place is beautiful." Chloe said.

"Come with me. I want to show you something." Beca pulled Chloe towards the pond and threw a pebble in it. Suddenly fireflies flew up and lit up around them.

"I used to love doing this as a kid." Beca smiled.

"You came here as a kid?" Chloe raised an eyebrow.

"My grandparents own the hotel. When my mom wanted us to see where she grew up she took us here. I thought it was a joke until I realized the hotel is named after her. The Magrat Pistol Hotel." Beca smiled.

"That's really cool." Chloe smiled.

The stayed outside for a few hours then went back inside when it got really cold out. They didn't even realize that it was almost midnight until they checked their phones.

"We should really get some sleep. We have to leave early for the airport." Chloe said.

"Yeah, see you in the morning Red." Beca smiled before heading to her room.
