"I don't... I don't want that." Said Chloe looking at the other girl in confusion.
"Really?" Beca asked without being able to hold back the excitement in her voice.
"Really." She smiled.
Chloe slowly walked back and sat on the bed facing Beca. The other girl couldn't take her eyes of her. She found her so beautiful with her auburn locks falling casually at her shoulders, with her adorable dimples that appeared when she smiled, and her beaming deep blue eyes looking into her soul.
Her admiration was broken off when Chloe spoke up.
"Listen," She grabbed Beca's hand and rested them in her own. "I really don't know what's going on. It's weird... but good weird!" She quickly added as she saw how the other girl's face turned into sadness hearing the words. "I... I think I like you, Beca."
The words were so quiet that Beca thought she only imagined them.
"You do?" She asked tremblingly.
"I do." She smiled seeing how excited the other woman got at this statement. "But," She broke the chain of happiness. "There's still a lot to figure out for me. It's new and I… I just don't know..."
"Hey!" Beca cut off. "It's okay, I get it. It's new for me too. We don't have to rush anything... I mean" She blushed realizing what she's just said, but calmed down right away when she met with Chloe's eyes that somehow made her feel safe. "If you want to, we can figure this out together." She let out a gasp of relief now that she finally put the words tangling in her mind together.
"Sounds good." Said Chloe, finding Beca's fluster really cute. "So how do we start?" She asked all of a sudden, causing the brunette a little surprise.
"I..." Chloe almost saw the clogs turning in Beca's head as she tried to come up with a proper answer.
Chloe couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey! Calm down girl. You don't have to solve the world's biggest problem. It's just us. We'll figure it out."
"Us?" Beca grin. "There's an Us?"
"Yeah..." Chloe said quietly with a smile, staring at the other woman's lips. "So..." She continued. "…kissing was kinda fun." She prompted.
"Oh, really?" Asked Beca amazed by the confidence the other girl suddenly had.
"Yeah" She said getting closer. "Shouldn't we continue what we started?" She asked inches away from the other girl.
Beca could feel Chloe's breath on her lips and the heat of her body as she was getting closer and closer to her giving her chills running down her spine. Their lips touched and in that very moment, it was like fireworks started around them and butterflies flew in their stomach.
Beca fell back on her bed. Chloe followed, never tearing apart. Their kiss deepened, their fingers entwined. It was gentle and intimate. No rush.
Nothing else happened on that night. After timeless kisses and hugs, Chloe fell asleep, resting on Beca's chest as she was stroking her auburn locks. Beca could tell the other woman's asleep as the pace of her breathing became even. She pulled her closer and fell into a slumber too.
The sun started rising and shone through the windows into Beca's hotel room. Beca could feel the sunbeams resting on her eyelids, causing her sleep cycle to finish quickly. She opened her eyes and tried to stretch her muscles, but she stopped in the moment she realized that wouldn't be a smart choice. Chloe was still lying on her side, her head resting on Beca's shoulders. "So it wasn't a dream," She noted happily as she pulled the other woman closer and kissed her forehead.
"Hey, Chlo! Wake up."
Chloe rubbed her eyes, but she barely opened them as she looked up to Beca.
"What?" She growled with sleep in her voice.
"Wow. Morning, Sunshine." Beca giggled.
"What time is it?" She asked grumpily.
"I don't know. Probably close to five am."
"Whaat? Let's just go back to sleep then." She said burying her face into Beca's t-shirt and tightening her embrace on the other girl's body.
Beca found it really hard to resist but for some reason she really wanted to see the sunrise with Chloe by her side.
"Oh come on, Chlo. Let's go down to the shore. It must be beautiful."
"Can we go later, please?" She pleaded.
"No, I want to go now. Come on."
Chloe covered her head with the blanket, never changing position.
"Okay. I have no other choice," She threatened. Beca slid her hands under the blanket searching for Chloe's waist and started tickling her in the moment her fingers made contact with her skin.
The other woman jumped up, almost falling out of bed as she wasn't really expecting the assault.
"Noo, please god no." She said laughing, trying to push Beca's hands away.
The brunette on the other hand didn't seem to give up and continued the attack.
"Okay okay, I'm up, you win. I hope you're happy." She said as she reluctantly parted from the other girl and sit up in bed.
"Seeing you smile always makes me happy." She said under her breath only glancing at Chloe in shyness.
Chloe's eyes lit up, finding what she's just been said to adorable and an even bigger smile (if that was possible) appeared on her face.
"Soo... to the beach?" She asked after a few seconds, looking out on the window realizing that the view actually must be beautiful out there.
"Sure. Just let me change." She said sitting up as well, facing the red-head.
"Of course. How about we meet in the lobby? I need to grab some stuff too."
"Sounds good." Smiled Beca.
Chloe jumped up from the bed and she was almost out of the door when she suddenly paused.
Beca was still dazed with sleep a little so it nearly caused her a heart attack when Chloe jumped back in bed in front of her, grabbing her face and giving her a kiss.
"Don't keep me waiting too long," She winked as she pulled away.
"Believe me, I won't." She said as the red-head already disappeared, shutting the door with such dash behind her that the whole corridor trembled for seconds after.
