Beca sat slumped in her couch, nursing another whiskey and coke, flipping through the channels. No quality content for 8pm on a Sunday. She should have gone out with the rest of the crew but she really needed some "me" time.
Her phone buzzed and illuminated on the coffee table. She glanced down and saw Stacie on the text ID. Sliding open the message several little bumble bees danced around the screen. The three dots showed indicating Stacie was typing more.
Stacie: *bumble bee emoji*
Stacie: B
Stacie: B!
Stacie: !
Beca: WHAT
Stacie: Get your hand out of your pants and get down here!
Beca rolled her eyes before taking another sip of her whiskey and responded.
Beca: Nah
Stacie: But drinks! *martini glass emoji*
Beca: I've got one, thanks
Stacie: LOL ONE! That's rich, Beca!
Beca: Hey I'm a grownup I can have more than one.
Stacie: You're sorely missing out
Beca: In this heat!? Nope don't think so
Stacie: Just wear less clothes
Beca: Doesn't work for me *shrug emoji*
The brunette took a deep breath, the whiskey slowly seeping into her, coaxing her into the beginnings of intoxication.
Racking her brain, Beca tried to decipher her text clues.
Stacie: *whip emoji*
Beca: *owl emoji*
Stacie: Aubrey
Beca: shut the fuck up
Stacie: I *poop emoji* U NOT
The image loaded to Beca's text window. Low and behold there was Stacie, arm slung over the blonde, both smiling into the camera. Aubrey's head rested cozily against Stacie's, their eyes shining with excitement and martinis.
Stacie: LOOK
Beca: I see! Tell her I say what's up loser
There wasa pause in the woman's messaging, giving Beca a moment to think of some good comebacks.
Stacie: "Bite me"
Beca: Pass.
A new message alert popped at the top of Beca's screen.
Chloe Beale
Beca blinked and instantly touched her name.
Chloe: Hi!
Beca: Hey yourself
Chloe: Glad I didn't wake you.
Beca: Chlo, it's 8. And you know I don't sleep
Chloe: I still have a difficult time remembering the time zones.
Stacie Conrad
Beca switched between her two conversations.
Stacie: She's got news!
Beca: she pregnant?
Chloe Beale
Chloe: I helped deliver a calf today. Something I never thought I'd get the opportunity. It was awe-inspiring. It has the most beautiful, big, brown eyes.
Beca: Awww. So beauty *smile emoji*
Stacie Conrad
Stacie: Guess who's staying out at their new facility to help train!
Beca: *blonde woman emoji*
Stacie: *bell emoji*
Stacie: Guess who's gonna come stay with her!
Chloe Beale
Chloe: I really liked your last release. Shawn's got such an emotional grasp on his singing.
Beca: Thanks! He's such a blessin to work with too
