I didn't know I felt that way
Chapter 1
Hey everyone, this is my first fic so I'm getting to grips with how it all works! Please leave feedback, I don't even know if this is a good idea or not... Help me! Haha x
As the Bellas all stood there arm in arm, waiting for the results to be called, Chloe felt the grip around her waist tighten, pulling her closer to the gorgeous brunette standing beside her. The pair had grown a lot closer over the past few months; they'd been frantically rehearsing together and squeezing in as much extra dance practice as they could. But Chloe had never seen this look on her face before; it was happy yet somewhat confused. Beca leaned in closer to Chloe, her lips lightly brushing her ear. She was about to whisper something, but before she could start, the results were blurted into the microphone. They both jumped back and tightened their grip around each other. The tension rose as there was a long pause before the winners were announced. They all held their breath.
"The Barden Bellas!"
As soon as the results were announced, they all erupted into fits of ecstatic screaming, jumping and unexpected happy tears. Chloe turned to Aubrey and threw her arms around her neck jumping up and down, repeatedly screaming celebrations. Just as she was about to celebrate with the others, she was pounced on by a hysterical, half crying, half laughing Beca, who was now squeezing the life out of the red head.
"Beca... As much as I love you, I kinda need to breath!" Chloe whispered into the brunette's ear.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry!" Beca squealed taking her hands instead. "I'm just so excited and relieved and... just feeling a bit emotional... which is weird for me" she mumbled, eyes widening as she blushed.
Chloe smirked and squeezed Beca's hands affectionately. Beca stared deep into Chloe's icy blue eyes and an even bigger smile crept across her face. Moments passed without the pair noticing what was going on without them, just standing there smiling sweetly and tangling their fingers together. Unfortunately this moment was short lived because before long Amy bounded between them wrapping her arms around their waists, throwing them both simultaneously up into the air and shaking them like toys in excitement.
"I wrestled two dingoes and a snake simultaneously when I was 14 because I was excited and that's how I feel now!" Amy shrieked, ignoring the two suffocating girls on her back.
"Amyyy! I'm gonna hurl if you don't put me down!" Chloe screamed down her back.
Amy cackled and placed the two, now purple, girls down on their feet. The Bellas came together for one last embrace before skipping offstage together out to the bus and their cheering friends. Chloe and Beca held hands all the way outside, although this went unnoticed by the two until they finally let go.
After Beca dropped Chloe's hand and ran off to talk to her dad, Chloe stopped for a second and turned to look at Beca. The two had been friends for a few months now, but Chloe had never paid so much attention to the brunette. She suddenly felt somewhat drawn to Beca and wanted to take her hand again, but she hastily put it down to over excitement and went on to talk to the others.
As they filed back onto the bus to head back to Barden, Beca plonked herself in the seat in front of Chloe and rested her head against the window. Chloe, taken aback that Beca had chosen to sit near her (Beca being one for personal space), tapped the brunette on the shoulder and simply smiled at her, winking before being beckoned by Aubrey to re-register the girls. Beca smiled back and giggled to herself as Chloe got up. As Beca rested her head back on the window, she couldn't get the image of Chloe's deep icy blue eyes out of her head. What was going on inside that messy head of hers? It was going to be a long drive back.
