Winter
It had snowed the night before, and when Beca walked downstairs, half her bed wrapped around her shoulders she plopped down on the counter stool with a grunt as Chloe brought her a coffee.
"It's only a little snow Beca, no need for you to drag your whole bed with you," Chloe laughed and sat down next to the girl, sipping tea.
"But it's still snow. And it's not even thanksgiving yet Chlo," Beca complained and moved around in her blankets so she could get an arm out to drink her coffee. She should really invest in a Snuggie.
"You have class today?" Chloe asked, well aware that Beca had a Phych class at 7am, and that it was about 6:30 now.
"Ugh. Yeah, Phsych at 7 but I think I'm going to skip. Too cold," Beca said, downing most of her coffee.
"I'll walk ya there? We're graduating this year Becs. C'mon," Chloe compromised, getting up and standing behind Beca and rubbed her shoulders, much like a mom would.
"Fine." Beca mumbled and got up and headed upstairs. Chloe smiled and watched the younger girl stumble over the blankets wrapped around her and dragging behind.
"Careful on the stairs Becs," she called and set their cups in the dishwasher before heading up to get herself changed.
Chloe came back downstairs to see Beca laying on the floor, a winter jacket, hat, gloves and boots laying around her.
"What the hell are you doing," Chloe said, helping Beca into a sitting position.
"I got frustrated, like with boots and gloves and stuff. Thanksgiving is supposed to be in the fall, not winter Chlo," Beca said and grabbed her boots and began shoving her feet into them and tucking in the laces.
Chloe smiled and went to put her boots and jacket on as well.
"Yeah but the weathers weird here. At least it's going to be just us this thanksgiving," Chloe winked as she put her gloves and hat on. Beca blushed at the thought of all other Bella's being gone. Maybe she would finally tell Chloe how she really felt about her.
"Your right," Beca said, putting on her hat and gloves and throwing her bag on her shoulder before leading Chloe to the front door. She opened it, stuck her head out and then closed it, locking them inside.
"What," Chloe said, confused.
"It's too cold," Beca walked past the ginger but before she could get to the stairs, a soft hand was laid on her shoulder.
"Becs," Chloe said, turning the girl around. She smiled and held up a scarf.
"No. I'm not wearing a scarf Chloe. I'm a badass remember." Beca said but didn't move.
"Just wear it, you'll be warmer." Chloe offered, stepping closer to Beca.
"Nope," Beca repeated, popping the p.
Chloe just smiled like she did in the shower oh so many years ago and in one swift move had the scarf around Becas' neck, inching their faces rather close. Beca could feel the older girls breath on her lips, sending butterflies erupting in her stomach.
"Now will you?" Chloe whispered and slowly placed her lips on Becas''.
They were warm, soft and tasted like vanilla. Beca wasn't expecting that, but she pressed her lips back onto Chloe's, craving more as soon as the older woman had began to pull away.
Beca watched Chloe smile as she slowly pulled away and allowed her to wrap the scarf around her neck.
"W-why did you kiss me?" Beca said in a little more than a whisper, she could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks.
Chloe just smiled like she did when Beca had actually showed up for something Bella's auditions actually, and pointed up. Beca followed suite and looked at the ceiling to see they were in fact, standing in a doorway and there was mistletoe hanging right above them.
"I've always wanted to kiss somebody under the mistletoe," Chloe said and grabbed Becas'' gloved hand in hers and dragged her out the door.
That night, all the other Bella's were in bed and only Beca and Chloe remained, watching TV and cuddling on the couch.
"Well I'm tired," Chloe said with a yawn and stretched, slowly crawling out from under Beca who was once again wrapped in hundreds of blankets.
"Same," Beca said and followed Chloe towards the stairs. She grabbed her hand and pulled the ginger to a halt where she had been stopped earlier that day.
Chloe turned to look at Beca and cocked an eyebrow.
"Thanks for today Chlo. It was fun," she said, referring to the snuggle session they had had after Becas'' psych class.
"Yeah, we should do it again," Chloe said, taking a step closer.
Beca smiled and put her arms around Chloe's neck, pulling them impossibly closer.
"Why not now," Beca whispered and brought her lips to brush against Chloe's. Chloe immediately pulled Beca into a hug and pressed the woman against the door frame, gliding her tongue gently into the other girls mouth. Tongues battled for dominance and hands began to wander after only a few seconds, Becas'' to the hem of Chloe's t-shirt, and Chloe's to around Becas'' neck.
They pulled their mouth off eachother when air became a necessity, but didn't remove their hands.
"Why'd you kiss me Beca," Chloe said in an almost mocking tone.
Beca smiled and just pointed up; Chloe followed suite and looked up, a huge smile on her face as she saw the mistletoe she had put there this morning.
Chloe giggled and kissed Beca again before pulling the smaller woman with her to her bedroom.
Laying in bed, staring at each other in a comfortable silence for a few minutes Beca finally spoke.
"You need more blankets," she said with a smile.
"Just cuddle up to me," Chloe giggled and scooted closer to Beca, wrapping an arm protectively around her as their legs tangled to keep warm.
After a few minutes of Beca laying with her head under Chloe's chin she looked up, a serious face on for once.
"Do you love me," she asked, staring deep into Chloe's bright blue eyes that shone so bright, even in the dark.
"What?" Chloe asked, being pulled out of the spell that had made her want to stare at Beca forever.
"Chloe, do you love me? I know you put the mistletoe in the doorway this morning," Beca said with a little giggle.
"Of course I love you. You're my best friend," Chloe whispered and moved so her face was right next to Becas''.
"I know you do. But that's as a best friend Chlo. You kissed me and it was so... So passionate. And all that stuff about experimenting you always talk about?" She paused and kept her eyes locked on Chloe's. "Do you love me," she breathed into the older girls lips.
Chloe didn't have any words. Of course she loved Beca, she had been planing on telling the girl during their little Thanksgiving dinner they were going to have later that week. She had it all planned out, she was going to say exactly this 'I'm really thankful for you Beca. You're my best friend and I love you, I just want you to know that.' She had anticipated on Beca saying something along the lines of 'of course you love me Chlo, the second time we met, we were both naked' or some sarcastic comment like that. Chloe had then planned on saying 'I know. But I love you Beca. I love you so much, I wake up thinking about you. I go to sleep wishing I was holding your small body in my arms. I'm so thankful that were best friends because if we weren't, and I wouldn't to do this,' she was planning on then dragging Beca up from the table and under the mistletoe toe and kissing her with as much passion as she could in a few seconds. Then she was going to say 'and if we weren't best friends, and I just kissed you like I did then it would be awkward. But I want you to know that you're beautiful. And I love you,' or some corny shit like that.
But now Chloe might not get to say that, as it wasn't their little Thanksgiving dinner and she had already kissed Beca twice, in one day.
"It's okay Chlo, if you don't then I'm sorry for-this," Beca said and began to get up, tears beginning to cloud her vision.
"No Beca of course I love you. I love you so much.," Chloe said, pulling Beca back to the position they were in before. "If I hadn't barged into your shower we may never get to share another moment like this again," she whispered and pulled Beca into another long, heated kiss.
Minutes passed.
"Do you love me too?" Chloe whispered after a while, worry setting in because Beca had been silent for a few minutes.
"Of course. I love you so so much. I go to sleep wishing I could hold you like I am right now," Beca said and smiled. "Thanks for making me wear that scarf this morning, or you would've had to wait for me say I love you to you for the first time on Thanksgiving," Chloe giggled and kissed Beca quickly again, just because it made her heart flutter.
"And if it hadn't snowed you would've had to wait until we were eating dinner. Just us two, alone. I had this whole speech and everything worked out," Chloe said causing Beca to laugh.
"Your such a dork," the smaller girl giggled, nestling closer to Chloe.
"But can I be your dork?" Chloe breathed into Becas'' lips again.
"Only if you still give your schpeil during our thanksgiving dinner," Beca laughed and Chloe pressed her lips against Becas'' once more.
"God I'm so in love with you," Beca breathed after they pulled apart.
"Well, you saw me naked so..." Chloe mocked causing both girls to erupt in a fit of giggles, despite the lack of alcohol. They snuggled close to each other and finally fell asleep in each others arms, smiling and breathing in sync like the losers they are.
