Chloe watched Beca from the window. The brunette headed directly to the batting cage of the softball field after the encounter with Chloe. The redhead knew that was how she dealt when she was angry, just hitting the fuck out of a ball. Chloe sighed, things had been so perfect between the two of them. I just need her to understand what actually happened then maybe we could-

"Hello." A voice interrupted her thoughts of Beca. She turned to see a woman in her mid thirties setting a hand full of papers on the desk. "I'm Misty Grandel, you're the student that is going my substitute this semester?" The older woman asked. With one last look to Beca Chloe moved from the window.

"Yes ma'am" She smiled. "I'm Chloe Beale." She held her hand and the other woman shook with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you Chloe. I understand you subbed quite a bit last year?

"Yes, and I'm just finishing up my junior year at Barden."

"Great, now I know this is going to be a big different for you seeing how you're not used to teaching for a long period of time but I've already made all the lesson plans for the year. I asked around and I heard you were one of our best substitutes we had, so I think you'll do fine." Mrs. Grandel noticed the boxes that she had asked Beca to carry in. She pointed to them. "Have you had the opportunity to meet Beca yet, she's my TA?"

"Um, yeah, she was in here earlier dropping off the boxes." Chloe answered not wanting Grandel to know their past history.

"Good, you two will probably be spending lots of time together. She was only two classes short of graduating last year so she's taking those but the rest of the time she's in here." Great, more time with her although I'm sure she won't be too happy about that in the immediate future. "That is except on game days, she chalks the field for the softball games. You should watch her play sometime she's really good." This Chloe knew, she had seen Beca play when they were together on her summer team. "They have a game later today."

"Then I'll just have to stay and watch."

Beca waited for the ball to be pitched out of the machine. Her jaw clenched, her hands wrapped around the bat. I can't believe she's fucking here. She thought as she swung through, hitting yet another ball. She had been out here about half an hour. She took her stance again. Out of all the substitutes out there they had to choose. Another swing. And why does she have to be assigned to Grandel's class? Another swing. She felt herself getting more angry at herself the more her heart started to race when she remember those blue eyes and that pretty smile. And why am I still fucking in love with her!? "Ahh!" She grunted as swung hard then threw her bat against the fence. She went to turn the machine off and ran her fingers through her hair. One of the two classes she had was getting ready to start in a few minutes, and since she had a game today she couldn't skip it. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself before heading back inside to face her ex-girlfriend for the second time today.

Beca prepared herself as she entered her creative writing class. Ironically one of the two classes she had was with Mrs. Grandel. She stopped in the doorway when she immediately locked eyes with Chloe. They always had the ability to feel each other when they were in the room. Beca also knew that Chloe was watching her for a short time when she was in the batting cage. She took her seat but could feel Chloe's eyes burning a hole into her head. She was going to try to ignore her but even she knew that would be close to impossible especially when her skin started to heat up just by being in the same room.

Twelve Months Ago…

Chloe parked her car and rushed towards the field. Beca had a weekend softball tournament and Chloe hadn't been able to make it to a game yet because of work. Luckily Beca's team made it to the championship game and Chloe didn't want to be late.

Beca saw the redhead jogging towards the park. She smiled and waved when the redhead spotted her. They had been hanging out for a month now and things were platonic but Beca definitely wanted that to change. She was just too much of a chicken shit to make the first move. "Hey you." She greeted as Chloe approached the dugout. Chloe smiled and subtly checked the brunette out. "Glad you could make it."

"Yeah me too." Beca saw her teammates filing onto the field.

"I better get out there." She gave one last smile before heading to grab her glove. Chloe smirked as she watched her go. Damn she looks good in that uniform. Chloe thought as she sat down on the bleachers. Things with Beca were good, but Chloe was ready for Beca to make a move. She had been throwing hints her way but Beca had yet to catch on. She decided she was going to have to step things up a bit.

This was the first time seeing Beca playing and she was fantastic. She played third base and had a great throwing arm. It was scoreless through four innings and Chloe was starting to get a little cold. She had worn shorts and a tank top, but now the sun had set and the wind picked up with the dusk. She cheered as they made the third out and Beca's team came off the field. Chloe smiled as Beca walked her way. "Hey, you look a little cold so I thought I'd bring you this." The brunette held out a blanket for her.

"Thank you." Chloe said as she took the blanket but then made a face. "Why does it smell like a mixture of dirt and feet?" Making Beca chuckle.

"It's been in my batting bag all summer so…"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome but I need to get back and get ready to bat."

"Hit a home run for me?" Chloe asked and Beca scoffed.

"I haven't been able to get a hit all day." She said and Chloe sat the blanket aside and stood.

"Well maybe you just need a little inspiration." She said making Beca raise a brow. Before she had a chance to question what she meant, Chloe leaned in giving a soft kiss on her cheek. "For luck." She whispered in her ear. She leaned back smiling at Beca who had seemed to forget how to speak.

"Mitchell you're on deck, hurry the hell up!" Her coach yelled. Wordlessly Beca walked back to the dugout stunned. By the time she made it back and grabbed her bat it was her turn. It was funny she had butterflies from Chloe's lips all the way back to the dugout but the moment she stepped into the batter's box she felt a surge of adrenaline. The first pitch came and it was a bit outside, she never swung at the first pitch. The second pitch seem to come right down the middle, she swung through connecting hard with the ball. As soon as it left her bat she knew that it was a home run. She chuckled to herself as she started rounding the bases. Great now she's going have a big head. Beca thought, she gave a smile and a small shake of her head, rolling her eyes as she saw Chloe cheering as she touched home plate.
