Feelings

Beca shrugged her way into the small studio apartment that she shared with her two best friends, Fat Amy and Chloe. The pair were Beca's former teammates back in Barden as they competed in acapella competitions, and now they were living together after their time in college.

To say life was going terribly, would be an understatement.

Beca was struggling to make a name for herself in the music world.

Chloe was struggling to make it as a vet.

And Amy... well, struggling wasn't really her thing. But being unemployed was.

With all this, Beca was left being the main 'money maker' of the house, which was incredibly stressful for her as she tried to keep them afloat. Chloe also provided with income, as she was working part time at a local café.

Speaking of which, Beca glanced down at her phone. 5:55pm it read, which meant Chloe would soon be home from her shift at the café. Amy wouldn't probably be back until late that night, Beca guessed.

Yawning from the tiring day of work, Beca shuffled the scarf off from around her neck, setting it on the side chair with her bag, before falling onto the small fold out bed she and Chloe shared.

She felt herself dozing off as she laid staring at the ceiling and no sooner had she done that, she felt the bed dip beside her.

Mumbling at the interruption, she turned around to lay on her side in hopes of ignoring the presence beside her.

"Beca..." Chloe cooed into her ear leaning over her. The redhead smiled watching the shorter girl huff. "Come on," She eased, tapping her shoulder, "Wake up or you won't sleep later." She said before pulling back to set her bag beside the bed, slipping her shoes off in the process. She shrugged her jacket off and made her way towards the small kitchen.

"What are we thinking tonight?" She asked to Beca, who was slowly sitting up into a seated position. Glancing over her shoulder, Chloe saw her shrug. "Pizza it is." Chloe said, taking out a few bottles of water. "Catch!" She called over to Beca, throwing one at her.

Beca only registered what she said a second too late as a bottle collided with her stomach. "Ahhh" she groaned, her face expressing that of pain... and betrayal as she stared at Chloe, who was trying to hold back her giggles as she approached the bed.

"You bitch." Beca exclaimed as Chloe shuffled in beside her. Chloe reached over to the armchair, grabbing Beca's messenger bag and taking out the laptop inside. She booted it up, placing it in between them.

She quickly ordered a pizza for them before going onto YouTube to play some music. Specifically, from an artist she recently fell upon; Hayley Kiyoko. 'Feelings' started playing from the Bluetooth speaker Beca owned.

Beca had been messing around on her phone but she tipped her head up once the beginning chords played.

"What's this?" She asked, leaning up to glance at the screen. "Oh, I've heard of her before." She said, "She's pretty good."

"Yeah." Chloe agreed, leaning back to lay against the head rest. "She was on my recommendation list on Spotify." She explained.

Beca found herself concentrating on the song and she couldn't help but let her mind wander to thoughts surrounding the girl sat beside her, their knees touching as they listened to the song. As the brunette bobbed her head along with the beat, she thought about how madly in love with Chloe she was.

But... Chloe could never feel the same. After all, Chloe was as straight as you could be. Or at least, that's what Beca's been telling herself all these years.

You see, Beca had been falling for the redhead ever since she met her. Yeah, there had been the whole Jesse thing that happened in her freshman year but that ended before it could even become super serious.

Jesse was nice, Beca thought.

But... Beca had had this eye-opening revelation that she wasn't as straight as she thought.

Okay, scratch that. She wasn't straight, period.

Beca was gay, okay?

She figured it out not long after she a Jesse had become a "thing."

Ugh. She remembers how it felt like she was dating a brother.

Gag.

Thankfully, Jesse had been understanding, leaving them still good friends to this day, only thing is, he moved across the country after graduation.

He apparently has a girlfriend and a cat.

Beca was happy for him.

And as Beca was having this little thought process, Chloe was having the same thing.

You see, Chloe here, also was madly in love with the fun sized brunette who was currently sitting beside her. But to the redhead's knowledge, she assumed Beca had no intention of ever liking her in that way. Chloe knew Beca was gay, the girl coming out to her years ago, but there was no way that Beca was even interested in her.

I mean... she would have made a move by now, right?

But Chloe can admit, she'd been questioning her sexuality in recent months. Having always had a crush on Beca for what seemed like a decade, was like a big clue that she wasn't as straight as she once thought. Now of course she hadn't voiced this to anyone, not even Aubrey, deciding she wished to figure it out herself. But as she sat on that fold out bed beside the girl she loved so very much, she just wished she could grab the girls face and bring her in for a deep kiss.

But she couldn't.

Right?

As the pair battled their own train of thought, they both failed to notice how they were staring directly at one another.

And that they were slowly inching their faces closer.

Damn, Hayley's music was really doing something to them... She really is lesbian Jesus, huh?

Suddenly the pair snapped out of their daze at the same time, both registering their current position.

Yet, neither Beca nor Chloe moved an inch.

They tested the waters to see if either would back out last minute.

"Are you sure?" Beca heard herself questioning as her nose nudged the side of Chloe's.

"God yes." Chloe breathed out, heart racing as she inched her face ever so slightly closer to Beca's.

"I'm gonna kiss you no-" Beca's words were muffled as Chloe's lips bounced onto hers. Their lips unmoving for a few seconds as they relished in each other's touch, before Chloe changed the angle, deepening the kiss.

Beca smirked into the kiss as Chloe pushed her back into the pillows behind, before leaning over her. She felt Chloe's hands go to the base of her neck, playing with the stray baby hairs there. Beca's hands warmed their way around the redhead's waist pulling her in, so that she was completely on top of her.

And it was only when the song came to an end that the kiss did as well. Beca being the one to pull back, her eyes still closed and a smile on her face.

"Wow." Was all she could say.

Chloe mirrored the smile as they both opened their eyes to gaze at one another. And just before Chloe could even speak, Fat Amy bounced in through the door with a pizza in hand.

"Oi pitches, thanks for the piz-" She paused as her eyes fell on her two friends' current position. Shock was evident on her face before a beaming grin crept up.

"CR owes me 30 bucks."
