Chapter 8: Seasons of Love
Beca was woken from her most restful sleep in a week, to someone running fingers through her hair. Beca groaned, puling the blankets more snuggly around her.
"Dad? what the hell are you doing?" No reply came, if Beca had been more awake she would taken the silence more seriously. But she was to confused to care that her father never woke her up. The fingers continued the massage her scalp and the weight shifted closer to her. It wasn't until something started pawing at her legs that she knew it was not her father. Beca opened her eyes to see the smiling face of Chloe sitting on her bed. Beca was now wide awake, and sat up a little to fast smacking her head on the headboard.
"Hey, sleeping beauty." Chloe laughed
"How the hell did you get in? Is my dad dead?" Beca asked, rubbing her head.
"Yeah, sorry. He kinda had to go." Chloe said in mock seriousness.
Beca opened her mouth to reply when a bark interrupted her. Panicking thinking maybe Aubrey was here with Rocky, Beca looked around. She however found not a tall blonde or a small pug, but a scruffy tan dog sitting on the foot of her bed. The dog jump suddenly and sat on her lap attacking her with kisses.
"Ahhh, Chloe?" When did my house have or get a dog?" Beca asked, rending off the dog
"Your house does not, mine does." Chloe scratched the dog behind the ear as he settled on Beca's lap. "His name is Billie."
"He's adorable."
Chloe smiled she leaned forward and kissed Beca. "Good morning Mi Amore."
"Good morning, Blue Eye's"
"That sounds like a dogs name." Chloe said getting up form the bed and walking over to Beca's desk full of equipment, Billie running around Beca's room smelling things.
"I thought it was cute and accurate considering your eyes." Beca said sitting on the edge of the bed. "What about….Red? or Bea? or…"
"I was kidding Becs, I love it really" Chloe turned around to find Beca standing next to her. She glanced down then raised an eyebrow. Beca glanced down as well and realized she was only wearing a tank top and underwear. Beca quickly grabbed a pair of sweat pants Billie ws sniffing and pulled them on.
"So, why did you come here at 9am to wake me up?"
"I missed you, I also brought Starbucks…so…" Chloe picked up two cups to show Beca.
"I guess i'll let you stay then." Bace took the cup Chloe held out. and walking back to her bed. "Anything you want to do Red?"
"Can you sing to me?" Chloe said quietly. Beca tilted her head.
"Guitar or..?" In respons Chloe handed Beca her guitar and sat at the end of the bed with Billie curled at her feet.
"Any song in particular?" Chloe bit her lip, as Beca sipped the coffee.
"Do you know… All I Want by Kodaline or All of Me by John Legend?
"What if I said I knew both?" Beca said strumming the beginning of All I Want.
"I'd say, play both or I walk." Beca laughed and started the song over again.
All I want is nothing more
To hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die a happy man I'm sure
As Beca started the next verse Chloe sang along an active high and a pace slower.
When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
Alone without you by my side
But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is,
And all I need is
To find somebody.
I'll find somebody like you.
Oh oh
Chloe stopped singing up started up almost instantly with All of Me, blending it in with Beca's voice.
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
So you brought out the best of me,
A part of me I've never seen.
You took my soul and wiped it clean.
Our love was made for movie screens.
But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body,
Take my body.
All I want is,
And all I need is
To find somebody.
I'll find somebody.
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh
Oh
If you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body,
Take my body.
All I want is,
All I need is
To find somebody.
I'll find somebody like you.
Oh
Beca finished strumming and looked at Chloe. "I thought you said you had nodes?"
"I do." Chloe said kicking her lightly, Beca meet chloe's eyes. Beca could not deny it when they had been singing she felt something more then just, what she would expect to feel with a girlfriend. It was a feeling that if this moment and these two stayed like this for the rest of time, nether of them would care.
"I think you need to sort out this staring thing." Chloe giggled.
"But its such a pretty view." Beca said. Chloe blushed.
"Start playing something else Mitchell before I jump your tiny ass, how about anther one of your own creations?"
"Anything for you Red?" Beca shifted her shoulders then started a slow tune.
I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind
It's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now, now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers
And color you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now
"Jesus, I'm in trouble." Chloe whispered.
"Why?"
"I always thought that there never was a time or place for true love. Because it aways happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. But…I think I just fall so are and fast for you Beca Mitchell." Chloe looked frightened as she said it, but relaxed she she looked up to see Beca smiling.
"I think I Just fell in love too, like the way I fall asleep. Slowly then all at once."
"Did little miss badass just quote John Green at me?" Beca stuck her tongue out at Chloe.
"Only badasses read The Fault in Our Stars." Beca stated crossing her arms pouting, Chloe only shock her head laughing.
"Oh really?" Chloe said trying to control her laughter.
"Really! And guess what?" Beca said leaning closer. "I did not even cry."
Chloe caught Beca's lips before she could sit back. "Totes, badass. Mi Amore. Totes badass."
For the next 11 hours the two played music, listened to music, Beca showed Chloe how to mix a song and the lyrics to her music, while Chloe show Beca how to make Billie walk on his hind legs and watched Beca learn a new song on the guitar. They then watch to Beca dismay and Chloe pestering two episodes of Teen Wolf, 3 episodes of Faking It and Orange is the New Black. They only left the room to get the pizza they ordered and to use the restroom. For the next 11 hours Beca and Chloe forgot everything and anything that was in there mind apart from each other and there feelings for each other. And to them the whole world stop for this 11 glorious hours.
I'm going to be gone on vacation for 2 and 1/2 weeks so...I will not be able to update for the whole time. But when I get back I will probably update once a day for awhile.
