A/N: I literally decided to start writing the second chapter right after the first, so the first few will be published much sooner. Btw I didn't expect to make this chapter so much longer than the first one, I just had more ramblings than usual. Hope you enjoy these! And as an option, I appreciate reviews for plot ideas on this series! :)


The Life of Bechloe

Chapter 2 - The Grocery Store

It was a lazy Sunday morning in Los Angeles. Only half of the sun shown on the horizon, with enough light to shine through buildings. Beca was sprawled on her chest in the bedroom, with what could have been drool coming out of her mouth. It was that kind of day for her, given that she had stayed up all night in her office writing lyrics for a new song. The lyrics had to be written for a famous music artist, so she couldn't have any exceptions involving the deadline for the song.

Usually on those sleepless nights, Chloe would come to Beca's aid by bringing her a coffee after herself had gotten back from work. She did exactly that last night after coming back from the vet clinic at ten-thirty in the evening, with a cup of black coffee in her hand. There was a blue gray loveseat that stood across facing Beca's desk in her office, so sometimes after Chloe changed into her pajamas and had a book to read, the redhead would silently lay on the couch admiring Beca's determination in writing her lyrics. She would even listen closely to Beca humming along to the rhythm that she created alongside the lyrics, forcing her to gaze at the brunette's lips involuntarily.

During the night before that Sunday morning, when Chloe brought Beca her black coffee, she decided she really needed to let herself sleep. Even though it was sometimes her daily routine to sit across from Beca's desk late at night, she knew she had a tough day at work based on the several rounds she had to pick up from many of the newly hired vets that were skipping work. She swore to god she was going to kill those mediocre bastards.

She made her way to the bedroom to change into shorts and a tank top along with fixing up a messy hair bun from the hair tie she had around her wrist. After doing this, the redhead made her way back to Beca's office to kiss her goodnight before she went to sleep.

Opening the glass door to the office, Chloe made sure to be quiet in case Beca was deep in thought for a verse. She walked to the side of the brunette's chair and waited a moment before cupping Beca's left cheek to turn her head. Doing this she bent down to kiss her gently on the forehead. Beca grinned and looked up dreamily into Chloe's eyes, not noticing she was smearing the pen marks on her paperwork.

"Going to sleep?" Beca said while still innocently looking into her girlfriend's eyes.

Chloe sighed, "Yeah, I'm kind of beat up, and I need some sleep today. Try to come to bed earlier this time. I kind of want to sleep with my midget for a little more than three hours."

Beca pursed her lips when the redhead referred to her as a midget. To be honest that was a newer name for her. Chloe would always manage to learn new nicknames every week from the internet, like "fun size", "itty bitty", "puny", and even "pipsqueak". She knew Chloe liked to pick fun at her height, and it would annoy the crap out of her, but in a way she sort of loved it.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty tired too. I'll probably be finished in an hour or two." Beca muttered.

She hated it when she left her girlfriend sleeping alone. She knows Chloe likes to cuddle, like a lot, so it frustrated her that she couldn't finish her work sooner.

Chloe stood up straight and covered her mouth to yawn, and turned around to leave the office.

"Just don't keep me waiting for that cuddle session." Chloe spoke softly now, she was on the verge of falling asleep right on the spot.

"Oh, I think we'll be doing more than cuddling Chlo." Beca said with a smirk before Chloe disappeared around the corner.

Having heard this, the redhead grudgingly came back and put one hand on her hip, leaning on the side of the door frame to the office. She had a look of annoyance across her face.

"You know, it's hard to fall asleep when you're turned on." She deadpanned.

"Tough luck." Beca replied sarcastically while still looking down at her music.

Chloe groaned, "You're unbelievable, Mitchell." The redhead turned around and started to make her way to the couple's bedroom, more tired than ever to just collapse onto the bed.

The brunette had a small grin on her face. She appreciated the compliments.

It was a little after midnight when Beca wrote her last and final verse for the new song. She sat up straight in her swivel chair cracking her knuckles, and stretching her arms out. She was lucky enough to finish at midnight, otherwise she would be sitting in this chair until morning. Nevertheless, she was just happy to have more time to be with Chloe.

Getting up from her chair, she turned off the lights in the office and threw away the coffee cup. Once Beca approached to her and Chloe's bedroom, she saw her girlfriend curled up tight under the blankets, with only her dark red hair showing, resting upon the pillow.

"Oooh, Beale" Beca thought to herself. The amount of cuteness that Chloe was showing was too much to handle for the brunette. She just couldn't believe she was spending her life with this girl.

She silently walked over to the side of the bed opposite from Chloe, lifting the white comforter and sheets to slip underneath. The redhead moved a little but didn't open her eyes once.

Beca moved closer to Chloe under the blankets and put her arm around her waist, eventually spooning the redhead.

She noticed that Chloe was still possibly half awake, seeing as she pushed her hips closer to Beca's core.

Feeling the warm comfort of her girlfriend's body, the brunette's eyelids began to fall.

Before falling asleep Beca whispered close to Chloe's ear, "I love you."

A moment later the redhead moved her head ever so slightly and murmured back, "I love you too."


Going back to that lazy Sunday morning after last night, Beca lay on her stomach with her mouth opened a little. As the light was shining brighter through the glass windows to their bedroom, the brunette fluttered her eyes open, and started to moan as the sun practically blinded her. Picking herself up to sit up on the bed, she rubbed her eyes for a minute to adjust to the lighting in the room. She checked the time on the digital clock resting on the nightstand to find it was eight o'clock. Wow, a full eight hours of sleep wasn't her usual.

Beca then turned to her other side to see that Chloe wasn't in bed anymore. She wasn't surprised since she already knew Chloe woke up at around seven on Sundays to jog on the treadmill for thirty minutes, then make coffee for both Beca and her at the kitchen table.

The brunette stretched a little more and hopped off the bed to go to the bathroom. While she was in the bathroom, she heard music start to play somewhere in the house. She figured it was in the kitchen, where they had a bluetooth speaker on top of the refrigerator.

Chloe liked to play her girlfriend's remixes on weekends with her coffee, just so she can listen to them in the background.

The song that Beca heard in the kitchen was an old one that she came up with in college during her years as a Barden Bella. The remix was a mashup between "Hips Don't Lie" and one of Pitbull's songs, but she couldn't tell which one. It had been a while since she made that remix.

When Beca came out of the bathroom and walked to the kitchen, she saw Chloe pouring the coffee into two separate mugs. One mug with a mustache, and the other being a shade of purple. Chloe herself looked a little flushed from running on the treadmill, and had seemed to already change to jeans and a black leather jacket.

Seeing Beca walk into the kitchen, she carefully pushed the coffee mug with the mustache on the table to where Beca was standing. Beca picked it up and waited a moment to cool it down, and sipped it.

The two were quietly drinking their coffee, and Chloe was the one to finish first.

"You going somewhere?" Beca asked realizing now that Chloe was properly dressed.

Chloe looked down at her clothes, "Oh yeah, I'm going to the grocery store real quick to pick up some stuff."

Beca nodded and finished the last of her coffee.

"I won't be long." Chloe said walking over to the brunette and giving her a peck on the lips. "You can come if you want."

"Sure, I can." Beca smiled while walking to the sink to rinse her mug. "I'll buy a ton of chips."

Chloe shook her head watching the brunette, "My diet tips don't seem to be getting through to you."

"It never has!" Beca laughed turning around to face the redhead.

"Alright, get changed or I'm going to the store without you!" Chloe said pointing to the direction of their bedroom.

Beca ignored her demand and took a step closer to Chloe putting her hands on the redhead's waist, making their lips only an inch apart.

"What are you doing?" Chloe questioned.

Beca didn't say anything, and instead pulled Chloe into a kiss. It was meant to be short but Chloe kissed the brunette with more force, making Beca stumble a little. A moments later and the two were in a passionate kiss, with Chloe's hand running through Beca's hair.

It was only when they had to break apart in order to breath, that Chloe came back to reality.

"We should leave now." Chloe said grinning at the brunette.

"Uh, yeah, I'll change." Beca got out of her deep trance and left to the bedroom. Chloe's eyes followed her until she disappeared.

The garage door to the house lifted open, letting the couple drive out with their Mercedes Benz. Beca was in the driver's seat, with Chloe next to her in the passenger's.

A few minutes later, they arrived to the store, and Beca was trying to find a parking spot.

Chloe was scanning the grocery list in her hand, making words with her mouth trying to figure out what she forgot to write down.

"We have eggs, right?" Chloe turned to Beca with a worried face.

"I don't know, Chlo." The brunette said looking around, barely paying attention.

Beca finally found a parking spot that was a little far away from the entrance of the store. She didn't expect that there would be so many people shopping on a Sunday. She really needed to get out more.

Right as Beca parked the car completely into the space, Chloe immediately opened her door.

Once Beca locked the car with her keys and began walking to the double doors, she saw Chloe was already far ahead of her, leaving her behind. The brunette smiled to her herself and shook her head.

The grocery store wasn't packed, but there were a lot of people scurrying around with food. Beca walked through the automatic doors and embraced the air conditioning that blew in her face. In the distance she could see Chloe already pulling out a shopping cart, making her way to the produce section.

"You couldn't wait up?" Beca called once she was in the distance for her girlfriend to hear her.

Chloe turned her head and saw Beca trying to catch up with her.

"Sorry, Becs." Chloe spoke innocently. "We just have a lot of things to buy."

"That doesn't mean you leave me stranded!" Beca playfully hit the redhead on the arm.

"It's not my fault you have shorter legs than me."

Beca opened her mouth to say something but Chloe took off giggling to herself. Accepting her defeat in the argument, the brunette strolled off in the other direction to look for the snack section. There was literally nothing else she had on her mind to eat but the very unhealthy bags of chips. No matter how much Chloe criticised Beca for eating tons of junk food, she never took her advice.

Chloe was pushing her shopping cart farther down past the produce section, obtaining already half of what was on the grocery list. She had gotten bananas, apples, blueberries, raspberries, carrots, oranges, lettuce, spinach, and a bag of almonds which she liked to munch on during work at the vet clinic. She knew Beca didn't like any of these foods, maybe except for the bananas, but she wouldn't dare touch anything else. It was if only Chloe herself shoved it in her mouth that the brunette would taste healthy food. There was honestly no other way.

Chloe now made it to the dairy section, where her grocery list told her to get milk, yogurt, and a carton of rocky road ice cream. Beca's favorite. The yogurt and ice cream section was right where she stood, while the milk was at the very end of the dairy section.

"What a convenient place." Chloe thought while rolling her eyes.

The redhead quickly picked out Beca's ice cream, and took an eight pack of blueberry yogurt that was close by. She then walked to the side of her cart to put these items in, seeing the bundle of groceries that was stashed in a pile. Taking a deep breath in at the sight of all the money she was going to spend, she went to the cart's handles and pushed it to the far end of the section to get the milk.

As she began walking towards the freezers, she saw that there was now a man, scanning up and down at the selection of milk. He was quite tall, and was wearing a gray hoodie with beige pants, and nicely styled hair.

Chloe pushed up just next to him so she could see through the freezer door. The two exchanged glances, making Chloe a little uncomfortable at the way he smiled at her.

The carton of milk that she wanted didn't seem to be anywhere located in the shelves. She clicked her tongue, wondering where the hell is this almond milk.

Unfortunately, as she looked higher above the shelf, she saw that the milk was placed at the very top shelf.

"Perfect." The redhead whispered to herself.

The man still standing next to her noticed what her problem was.

"Need some help?" He said politely.

Chloe turned to him a little bewildered at his offer. "Um...yeah, thanks."

He nodded to her and reached his arm to the top shelf, grabbing the almond milk and handing it to Chloe.

"Thanks." Chloe told him briefly and walked back to the cart.

"Wait."

Chloe took a second to put the milk into the cart and reluctantly turned around to face the tall man. She had absolutely no interest in what he had to say. But determined to be polite to him, she put a smile on, hiding her agitation.

The man got closer to Chloe, making her take a small step backwards. He trailed his eyes up and down her body, while putting a smolder upon his face.

"Yes?" Chloe asked him impatiently. She was praying in her head that Beca would get out of the damn chip section and save her from this guy.

The guy glance at the redhead's lips before confidently saying, "If you need me to help you more, I could help drive you to dinner sometime."

Chloe, who was still awkwardly standing close to the tall douchebag, was fighting not to chuckle at how horrible that pickup line was.

"Um...I'm sorry, but-" Chloe stuttered at the end of her sentence when she saw Beca behind the guy, carrying what looked like five huge bags of chips. She had one eyebrow up.

"Who is that guy?" Beca mouthed obnoxiously from behind him.

Chloe shot her eyes back to the man, who was still expectantly waiting for the redhead to answer.

"I'm going to have to decline," Chloe told him shortly. "My girlfriend is waiting, so I should go."

The redhead pushed her cart past the man and towards Beca. He had a shocked look on his face, watching the couple walk away.

"O-okay, then." He said in a small voice, turning around with his head down.

Beca dropped the five huge mound of bags into the cart while they were walking and looked at Chloe confused.

"What happened back there?"

"He helped get the milk we needed, then got all cocky and asked me to go out with him." The redhead chuckled a little after saying this, because this wasn't the first time this happened to her, and it even happened with Beca. Frankly, all dudes were attracted to the couple.

"Seriously?" Beca laughed. "That's like the third time this month!"

Chloe shrugged and kiss the brunette on the cheek. "They don't mean anything."

Beca looked at her sweet, bubbly partner and smiled, she felt like the luckiest person in the world.

The two got to the checkout counter and payed for their groceries. Then they carried the multiple bags to to the trunk of their car. Beca opened the trunk and neatly placed the bags in the car, while also taking what the redhead was holding, so she could get in the car before her.

Closing the trunk and returning to the driver's seat, the brunette backed out of the parking space and exited the lot.

While having her hand on the stick, she felt her girlfriend slip her own hand underneath and try to hold it. Beca accepted, adjusting her hand to hold Chloe's.

Still keeping her eyes on the road, the brunette lifted to kiss the back of Chloe's hand, making the redhead feel a tickle inside her.


They arrived at their house around twelve, seeing the sun now in the middle of the sky, beaming down on the busy city. It was truly a beautiful Sunday.

Beca got out of the car and opened the trunk to take any bag she could fit in her hands, trying to leave the least amount of bags for Chloe to have to carry.

The redhead got out of the car soon after Beca, crossing her arms when she watched the brunette nearly cutting off the circulation in her hands.

"You know, it won't kill you to let me carry some of those bags. You look like you really need that assist." Chloe smirked watching her girlfriend struggle.

"I g-got it." Beca grunted trying to pick up one more bag.

Chloe rolled her eyes and took the bag out of Beca's hands. "For god's sake."

The redhead closed the trunk and went to their front door to unlock it, leaving Beca trying to catch up with all the groceries she had suffocating her wrist.

Chloe unlocked the door with her keys, walking through the entrance to put the one plastic bag she took from Beca onto the kitchen counter. She sat on one of the stools next to the counter, unpacking the bag full of fruit. Just the fresh smell of it made Chloe smile.

A moment later, Beca stomped through the front door, hurrying to drop the several bags onto the kitchen table. Everything she was holding made a loud thump on the table, making Chloe slightly wince at the sound.

Beca put both of her hands on the edge of the kitchen table panting, and looking down to her feet.

The redhead sat on the stool, laughing a little at how much unnecessary labor the brunette put herself through.

Beca shot her head back up to stare at Chloe. "Are you enjoying my pain right now?"

"You made the choice to carry them." The redhead chuckled again.

It took awhile for Beca to stop breathing so hardly, and sat on one of the stools. She put her hand on her forehead, feeling sweat.

"Do you still want those chips?" Chloe said out of the blue. She had taken a bite out of the apple from the bag and had her wide eyes planted on Beca now.

Beca froze for a second and remembered the five bags of chips she had bought Suddenly she wasn't tired anymore.

"Chips!" The brunette excitedly shouted, getting up from her stool and opening all of the bags to pour into one bowl. She was licking her lips just imagining the taste of all those flavors in one bite.

Chloe watched this whole process and instantly regret that she even mentioned the chips.

Pouring the last of the fifth bag into the large bowl, Beca grabbed a fistful of chips and jammed it in her mouth.

"Mmmm." Beca hummed. Her lips looked like they were about to burst open with all the chips she just crammed in her mouth.

"Oh. My. God." Chloe said with no expression. "I can't believe I'm in love you."

Beca lifted her eyebrows up and down to Chloe trying to act sexy, then proceeded to picking up the bowl and walking away satisfied with her new snack.


A/N: Okay… that really was longer than expected.
