"So, you going to help me or not?" Beca said carrying a heavy box into the sitting room.
"I'm just arranging something," Chloe said, arranging the bouquet of fake flowers on top of the fireplace.
"Well, you can do that later, I'm exhausted, I've carried all the boxes," Beca said, normally she would be angrier, but she can't be angry at Chloe, for some reason, she could never be angry at Chloe. The only time she was angry at Chloe was during that camping trip with the Bellas. It's just something about her, it would be like kicking a box of kittens down a hill. Too cruel.
"There, look how pretty they look," Chloe said, proudly looking at the fake lillies.
"Yeah, beautiful (!) can you please grab the last box?" Beca said
"Okay, my lord," Chloe said, lightly smacking Beca's ass on the way out, and giving out a little cheeky chuckle. Beca smiled and chuckled, but her stomach twisted, she didn't know why her stomach did that. It started doing that after the championships, when she sang 'Flashlight,' all she could do was look at Chloe. But Beca would shake it off, she was in a great relationship with an amazing guy, Jesse. And yes, the relationship could be better, and it was hard being long distance, Jesse was living in New York trying to achieve his dream of being a singer, which was going great. So great that him and Beca never had time to themselves anymore, their weekly skype sessions turned into monthly skype sessions, phonecalls weren't there anymore, even when Beca surprised Jesse by visiting him in New York, he couldn't even spend time with her, so she meant the majority of her trip to New York was in the hotel room, skyping Chloe, which to be fair, was the best part of the trip. Jesse and Beca didn't even have sex, Jesse was too tired to do anything, despite Beca wearing really beautiful lingerie she had just bought for the trip. The only person that had seen the lingerie was Chloe, who was there when she bought it.
"You look amazing, Beca, he'll love it!"
"You don't think it's too much?" Beca responded tugging at the lacy red bra,
"He'll be stupid to reject it, seriously you look so sexy," Chloe teased. Beca staring at Chloe's lips. Stop it, Beca, stop it!
So, yes, the relationship between her and Jesse wasn't great, but that's what happens when careers get in the way. It just means you have to work more for it.
Beca heard her computer buzz, she was hoping it would be an email or message from Jesse, but it ended up being a random email from some woman who wanted Beca and Chloe to come to Paris to do some accapella conference. All expenses paid, flights and everything. Beca would normally be very cynical towards things like this, but she was stressed from the move, and after going to Copenhagen she wanted to travelling, and who was more perfect than her best friend.
"Hey, Chloe, fancy going to Paris?" Beca said, Chloe immediately dropping the box, luckily there were no fragile items there
"Count me in, who else is coming?" Chloe said, for some reason, when Chloe said that, Beca felt a bit sad, she didn't even know why.
"Just us, there's some meeting about accapella and we've been invited," Beca said, a meeting about accapella? that wasn't real, surely?
"Oh, I've heard about these meetings, it's more of a masterclass, where we teach other clubs about our clubs' history," Chloe said "And of course, I know everything about the Bellas,"
"Of course, I know fuck all," Beca said
"Well, I can be your tutor," Chloe said. Was Chloe flirting? No, of course she wasn't. Chloe was straight, she was always playful like that, she was like that everyone, both male or female. I mean, the first time she properly spoke to Chloe was when she was having shower sex with some random guy. Though, it did feel like they had a moment, even being naked.
"I guess it's a good thing we haven't unpacked," Chloe said
"So, what should we get up to in Paris, and please don't say-"
"DISNEYLAND!" Chloe screeched like a little girl
"That,"
"Oh, come on, I've never been, and I want to go so BADLY!" she moaned
"You do realise there are much more better things to do in Paris," Beca said
"I know that, but Disneyland has been a dream of mine, and a dream is a wish your heart makes," she chuckled
"What?" Beca said
"Please tell me you've seen Cinderella?" Beca said in a sad voice
"Chloe, you know I never started liking movies until I started dating Jesse," Beca said, Chloe's face drained, it was like someone murdered a puppy right in front of her.
"We are SO watching it tonight, in fact, we are doing a Disney marathon," she squealed,
"I guess I will order in pizza," Beca said "And I guess, I'll book some tickets for Disneyland,"
"OH MY GOD! THANK YOU!" Chloe screamed and embraced Beca in her arms,
"See you're excited! Your heart is racing, right I'm going to get my laptop," Chloe ran upstairs, and started singing some random song (which Beca assumed was a song from a Disney movie) Beca stared at Chloe walking up the stairs, if only Chloe knew the real reason why Beca's heart was beating that fast.
