Breakdown a Cover - Celebration

"Stace, hurry up. Chloe just texted me to say that she'll be here in five minutes... Come on!" She shouted through the bedroom door.

Stacie pulled open the door and walked out of her room dramatically. "Take a chill pill Bec's I'm done... So?" Stacie flailed her arms around herself pointing at her outfit.

"What?" Beca shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

Stacie let out and exasperated sigh, "Does this look slutty enough for Chloe's friend?"

"Ugh, yea?" Beca pulled a face not knowing exactly how she was supposed to answer that question, Stacie was wearing an sapphire blue figure hugging dress which barley covered her ass, of course she looked slutty. She usually did.

"Thanks best friend." She laughed sarcastically, "You're supposed to tell me how beautiful and stunning I look and that this girl will no doubt want to jump on my bones by the end of the night."

"Don't sleep with Aubrey, Stace." The smaller girl rolled her eyes, she crossed her arms over her chest and leant against the sofa.

"I hate you. One compliment, all I ever ask for is one compliment. Unbelievable Mitchell. And fine for you I won't. But if she's hot AND she comes onto me I'm not being held accountable for my actions. Deal?" She laughed nudging her friend.

"Deal."

Beca's phone beeped, 'We're outside, get your cute little butt down here! :) xo'

"Come on Stace they're here, and again please, please, please stay classy." Beca walked out of her apartment with Stacie close behind.

"Classy? Please. Classy is my middle name bitch."

They began walking towards the redhead car when they saw what looked like a heated debate occurring inside. Chloe was about to step out of the car to greet the pair when she looked over to her blonde friend who was sat playing on her phone. "Bree come on."

"What?" She shrugged her shoulders.

"We need to say hi to them." the redhead furrowed her brows.

"Well I'm not exactly going to ignore them am I?"

"Get out of this damn car now and introduce yourself." Chloe's voice was stern and demanding.

"What does it even-" She stopped suddenly, something had caught the blondes attention from across the street, she saw Beca walking over to them with.."Wow" She whispered.

"Bree, I can see your toner through your dress." Chloe giggled, amused by the situation.

Aubrey stepped out of the car, quickly followed by the red head, "Hey Beca, it's nice to see you again. Who's your?..." She allowed someone else to fill in the gap unsure of their relationship with each other.

"Friend." Stacie finished for her, she stepped towards the blonde and gracefully took ahold of her hand, delicately kissing her knuckles. "I'm Stacie. And you are.." She smirked knowing full well who the woman was.

"Aubrey." She said breathlessly, right then Aubrey Posen swooned. She literally swooned for the girl, she coughed lightly trying to regain her composure.

"That's a lovely name. Pretty name for a pretty face" she winked.

Aubrey giggled. Like a teenage girl. "Thank you. As are you." She grinned.

"Is no one else finding this extremely disturbing..."

"Becs." Chloe sharply chastised, enjoying the exchange going on between the two girls.

"What? They're basically drooling over each other... Close your mouth Conrad, you have all night to stare. And remember, I know your tell." Beca laughed at her own joke, earning a glare from all three girls.

"Beca, don't you dare utter another word." Stacie stepped away from Aubrey, much to both their displeasure and punched the brunette in the shoulder.

"Ouch, mean. Don't start this game Conrad because you know exactly who'll win." Beca stood square on from the taller girl and puffed out her chest slightly.

Stacie laughed loudly at her antics. "Seriously, you're going to puff your chest and me and act all 'hard'? Short stack you know you shouldn't play these games with me." Stacie took a step towards to girl grinning down at her.

"Don't do the whole 'I'm taller that you' thing or I'll tell Aubrey exactly how you love-"

"-Stop, quit it children. I'm not sitting through another one of your wrestling matches again. Now get in the damn car." Aubrey gave the redhead a curious look, "I'll explain later." She shook her head slightly remembering the interaction between the two girls just hours previous.

"Sorry Chlo." Beca hung her head and slipped into the back of the car along with Stacie who also apologised.

The drive to the restaurant was pleasantly quiet, the stereo was on low and Aubrey and Chloe were chatting amongst themselves. They pulled up to the restaurant and got out of the car, Aubrey headed in first to speak to the waiter who lead them all straight to their table which was located in a secluded part of the restaurant. Once they had all taken their seats another waiter came over to take their wine order, when he arrived back to the table with a bottle of 'Domaine Armand Rousseau' which Aubrey had insisted on them having, he told them how their waitress tonight would be someone called Jenny and that she would be over to take their order shortly.

Beca had scanned through the menu several times, attempting to decode the italian words which hovered her page. She nervously looked across the table at the blonde and the redhead to see them both chatting eagerly about what mains they would be having, she only had one hope at avoiding embarrassment. Stacie. The half Italian nitwit sat beside her.

"Stacie." She whispered nudging her with her leg.

The taller brunette giggled after seeing the concentration drawn across the smaller girls face, "Struggling kiddo?"

"Please help me." She pouted.

"Oh, so now you want my help?" She grinned evilly.

"Stacie." She whined. "Please, you know I'd never have said it!"

"I wish I had never even told you what my 'tell' was."

"What, it's a cute tell. Plus if you ever lie, I Will know." She grinned.

"Ugh you're so annoying. Remind me again why we're friends?"

"Because you love me? Now please Stace, I can't make a fool of myself in front of her." She grinned.

"Cool your beans Bec's. Don't worry I've already chosen what you're having." She smirked knowing exactly what her best friend would have.

"You have? Oh my God Stacie I love you so much right now." She grinned at her friend.

"So for starters you're having Breaded Mozzarella sticks and for your main I was thinking Fillet steak?"

"Yes, amazing.. so.. how do I say that. In you know.. Italian?" She bit her lip nervously.

"Okay, I'll say it slowly for you alright?" Beca nodded "Mozzarella in carrozza"

"Okay, thats nice and easy... Mozzarella in carrozza" Beca smiled.

"and Filletto alla Griglia" Stacie grinned.

"Filletto alla gri..blahlala." Beca placed her hand over her eyes and groaned.

Stacie laughed, "Close.. Sort of. Again Filletto alla griglia-"

"Hello I hope you're having a wonderful evening so far, my names Jenny. Have you decided what you would like yet?" The girl was stunning, she had long raven hair and tanned olive skin, her eyes suddenly caught Beca's and she grinned. "So, what would you like." Her question was directed at Beca.

"Um.." Don't panic, "Can you come back to me last?"

"Sure." She winked. She went around the table and came back to Beca who was nervously biting her lip. "Are you ready now?" She smirked.

"Yes.. For my started I'd like.." She looked at Stacie who nodded encouragingly "Mozzarella in Carrozza." Phew one down, she let out a shaky breath. "And then I would like Filletto alla gri-gri-"

"-Filletto alla griglia." The waitress pronounced with perfection, Beca silently thanked the girl who replied with a wink. "Good choice. Is that everything?" She nodded. "Okay, your meal will be with you shortly." She smiled and sauntered away.

"So. She had the hots for you." Stacie grinned nudging her friend. "Go get her tiger."

Beca looked over to Chloe who was now biting her bottom lip, "I mean yea she was cute..." She said trying to gage Chloe's reaction. "But I have my eyes on someone else."

"Someone else?" Chloe spoke for the first time.

"Yes. Someone else." The brunettes voice dropped a few octaves lower.

"Okay just stop a second, you complained about me and Stacie earlier being too 'disturbing' yet you two are doing exactly the same thing. You may as well just jump on each other now. Chloe, Beca obviously has the hots for you. Beca, Chloe clearly feels the same way." Aubrey shook her head and leant back in her seat.

"You do?" Beca asked sweetly.

"Yea, I mean who wouldn't?" Chloe grinned.

"Please quit with the cringe now, just go on a date. Or whatever... Ooo the foods here." Stacie clapped her hands excitedly.

The meal went down well, they all enjoyed it thoroughly especially Beca and Chloe who constantly shared glances at each other through tout the meal. They would make crude comments to each other such as "Wow Beca, your arms in that shirt are magnificent" much to Aubrey and Stacies disgust. Once they had finished their meal Aubrey decided to get to business, "Beca. So this meal is to say congrats on all of the publicity you've received over the last few days but it's also for another reason."

"What?" Beca gave the blonde a questionable look.

"Beca Mitchell. My name is Aubrey Posen and I am the owner and CEO of Invincible Records and I would like to formally invite you to join my label."

"What?" Beca squealed, she looked over at Stacie who had just chocked on her wine. "I'm sorry, just go back a second you're.."

"Beca I own invincible records. And I want you." Beca suggestively winked at the blonde,"Not like that you perve. But seriously what do you say? Obviously we have a lot to discuss, I'd need to talk to your manager, do you even have a manager and-'"

"-Yes. Yes, yes oh my God yes." Beca started rocking with joy.

"Yes?" Aubrey grinned.

"Yes! Aubrey, I- we." Beca took a deep breath, "I don't even know what to say. Thank you, so much. You don't understand how much this means to me," She looked over to her friend and squeezed her hand. "To us."

"Beca I'm so happy for you," Chloe leant across the table and squeezed the brunettes forearm.

"You deserve it Bec's, your musics amazing. I'm just glad I got you before anyone else did, thats why I moved so fast." Aubrey smiled.

Beca cleared her throat grinning to herself. "Aubrey Posen, I'd like to formally introduce you to my manager, Stacie Conrad."

"Bec's what are you-" Stacie shook her head.

"-Stacie you're my best friend, you know me better than anyone, you know exactly what I want and you manage all of my gigs at the minute anyway. Who better to do the job right? I want you as my manager." Beca placed her hand onto on Stacie's, intertwining their fingers together.

"Really?" She bit her lip trying to hold back her emotion, to say she was touched would be an understatement.

Beca nodded, and Stacie threw her arms around the shorted girls neck. "So that's a yes?" Beca mumbled through Stacie's brown locks.

"Yes. Yes. Of course it's a yes." She grinned.

"I guess it's settled then. Beca Mitchell, welcome to invincible records, and Stacie. I guess we'll be seeing a little more of each other." She grinned.

"Now we need to celebrate! How about we go to a bar? I'll just get the bill." Beca grinned.

"The bills sorted. You work for invincible records now Bec's, this was my treat. Now lets go get a drink." They all stood up and left the restaurant walking to a cocktail bar which was located just down the road. Today had been a good day.
