Chapter 1 How do you mean I'm straight?
Beca and Chloe were just outside the doctor's cabinet, sitting in the waiting room, waiting for their turn for a listed appointment with the sexologist Charlie Goodson. Beca couldn't take that long silence between her and her girfriend and started the conversation:
"Okay, what are we doing here again?"-She turned her head to Chloe whispering.
"I told you just a 100 times before we got here, but sure, I wouldn't mind if I tell you again."-The readhead replied sarcastically without turning her serious gaze to the brunette. Anyone could suppose that Chloe was nervous. She tried to hide that but yet, she couldn't. The readhead saw Beca's eyes filled with expectation for the respond. Chloe sighed. "We're here for a research about how sex affect people and also to see are we good for each other."-Again, the ginger didn't turn her gaze.
"You know, I can tell you the answer of that without paying a freak to do it."-Beca said jokingly and made Chloe smile, blush and bow down her head.
"He's not a freak."-The ginger protested with a smile, fighting a laugh. She never thought she had to say that. "That guy is a genius. He will help us rebuild our relationship."
"It's already rebuilded."-Beca smiled to the redhead and got near to her. She also tried to put her lips softly on Chloe's, but the read turned around. "What?"-The brunette asked a little confused. Chloe never declined a kiss with her girlfriend before. That made Beca feel a little awkward about it.
"Don't worry."-The ginger smiled positively like that would totally change the situation. "We'll have time for this in there."-The curiousity grew inside Beca and she just had to ask:
"What do you mean?"-Chloe sighed and started to explain:
"We are making a research about... Sex."-The readhead thought that was the easier way to explain the situation to Beca.
"Oh..."-The brunette sighed. "I guess we'll have to do it inside this room then."-She added jokingly.
"You guess correct."-Chloe responded which kind of made Beca surprised. She definitely wasn't expecting an answer like this. "They're researching the emotions while having sex."-The brunette looked at Chloe like the only word she heard was "Sex". "After we get the results we'll definitely know how we feel about each other. Just so you know, machines never lie."-The readhead smirked.
"Neither do I."-Beca answered the smirk and gave another try to kiss Chloe. The ginger couldn't help herself and didn't resist the kiss. Beca didn't put a tongue in it because there were a lot of children around them and most of them were under 6 years old. Anyway, the brunette gave everything from her to make that kiss memorable. She didn't even smirked between it and made it last as soon as possible, like it would be the last kiss of theirs. Beca wrapped her hands all over Chloe's neck and after time she moved one of them on the ginger's cheek. Beca moved her fingers through the ginger's hair and was about to step back after she gave the last small-kiss to her. But Chloe wasn't satisfied enough. When she starts a kiss like this she should give her "Chloe-charm-magic". So she prevented Beca from stepping back and placed her tongue on the small DJ's bottom lip to make it's way to the enter of Beca's mouth. Beca was left surprised She wasn't expecting this kiss to be so long, so she just improvised. Chloe's and Beca's tongues started a fight for dominance which Chloe won. She couldn't help but her hand slowly moved down on Beca's shoulder and... Lower. It was about to enter the neckline. But Beca quickly realized what is happening and stepped back right after she could, because Chloe was holding her really hard.
"Chloe..."-The DJ whispered when she noticed the faces around them which probably were feeling really awkward about the situation. "...We're in public."
"So?"-The ginger replied using the same voice volume that the brunette was using. "You were the one who started this. I was just checking how far will you go."
"Yeah, right, babe. Look at you. You don't even have to hold a signboard saying: "I'm desperate for sex"."-Becasaid jokingly using the quotation marks. That made Chloe roll her eyes smiling. "But don't worry. You'll gonna earn it."-Beca added with a facetious wink, placed her hand on the readhead's shoulder. Chloe poked her jokingly saying:
"Stop it."Beca smirked and placed her head on Chloe's shoulder.
"No. You both stop."-A man standing on the doorstep of the cabinet interrupted the conversation. It was Charlie Goodson. Or at least his badge said that. His sentence made Chloe and Beca step back from each other and head their attention to Charlie."You know, we can make this last all day long but I wouldn't advice you that 'cause my shift ends in 17:00."-he added sarcastically and made a gesture to the girls to enter his cabinet. "Don't look like this, just get in."
Beca and Chloe sat on the chairs behind Charlie's desk. He sat on it. With a friendly look, he broke the silence:
"So. You guys must be Bechloe."-Beca smiled and bowed her head.
"Yes but still, we are Beca and Chloe."-Chloe introduced her and her girlfriend to Mr. Goodson.
"Yeah, right, whatever. -Charlie smiled. "And yet, I know, that is just a mix of your names."-he explained.
"Yeah, we know. A lot of people call us that, you'll be surprised."-Beca replied with a smirk. "But can we move on, please?"
"Of course."-Mr. Goodson put out a scrap book, when he signed all of the patients who were visited the research. He put on his sunglasses and started with the questions probably headed to Beca first. "So. Sexual orientation?"-he moved his gaze to Beca.
"Well, as you can see..."-Beca tried to point the obvious but Charlie didn't seem to get it.
"No, I don't. You are trying to tell me that you are gay, but yet, you aren't."-Beca zoomed out her eyes. "When I look at you I see that in the past you had a relationship with men."
"Yes, it's Jesse. But how do you know that?"-Beca got shocked from what she heard. She started to believe that everything he will say may be true.
"I'm a psychiatrist with tones of diplomas. I can read you like a book."-Charlie replied and continued reading the questions.
"But wait, how do you mean she's not gay, I am her girlfriend!"-Chloe asked nervously almost screaming and Beca took her hand to calm her girlfriend down.
"Calm it down, ginger. Because I see you are also straight. You had a straight relationship at least once, hadn't you?"-now Charlie turned his attention to Chloe.
"Well, yeah, I had a lot of boyfriends before I met Beca but..."-Chloe tried to deny but Charlie didn't let her.
"I believe your last straight relationship ended 1 or 2 years ago, right?"-He replied and Chloe nodded. Then he turned his attention to Beca again: "And yours ended maybe a few months ago, right?"-Charlie asked her and she nodded the same way. "Look, ladies."-Mr. Goodson crossed his fingers on the desk. " I know you think you are both gay now and you are perfect for each other. You love each other and every single person around this cabinet saw it. Literally. But sometimes love is not enough. Like this time. You are trying to be gay but yet, you're acting like straight. And believe me, I know how gays look like. I have one patient-gay now, or maybe more than one. I know how they look like. And you're not them. I think you are gay just because of the girl next to you."-Charlie smiled at the last sentence and it made Beca and Chloe look at each other and say at the same time:
"Yes".-they said nodding both with worried faces.
"Don't get me the wrong way, I don't want to ruin your relationship or something, I'm just trying to say that you may be soulmates of Cupid's opinion but the Nature's got something else to say, if you get me. Biologically, you are completely opposites and you can't be together."-The whole time Beca was watching Charlie in the eyes, ready to explode and give all her anger to him. And that sentence was just the perfect cherry for the cake:
"All right, listen to me, sir!-she stand up angrily and started to yell quiet. "I don't know if we are the perfect couple by your criteria but I'm not coming here to hear just the opposite of truth, said from a man who knows us from exactly 3 seconds and who uses sunglasses to read! No, I'm gonna trust myself because I think I know better than you what is crossing my mind!"-Beca protested laying stress on "my"."
"You are the leader of a music group, aren't you?"-Charlie replied.
"Okay, there is no way for you to know that."-Beca sat on the chair again with folded hands. Chloe put her hand on her girlfriend's shoulder to cheer her up but that didn't work.
"What do you see in her?"-Mr. Goodson said jokingly but Chloe took it personally.
"More than you can read in that stupid crap book."-she replied with a serious look.
"Actually, it's "Scrap book"."-Charlie corrected Chloe.
"Yeah, I perfectly know how it is."-she smirked, still fighting the serious face. Her respond made Charlie smile and bow his head saying:
"Oh, well, maybe I got wrong this time. Whatever, results will show us everything. Meet you here at Monday on the same time for the sex research."
"Okay."-Beca made a forced smile and then the two girls left the cabinet.
