A/N: We all know what happens when we drink too much. We say silly things, do stupid things. Drunken words/actions are sober thoughts. Let's see how Margarita Night works out for our favorite a capella group :)

Chapter 10: I Need Your Love

"Don't be such a Debbie Downer, DJ!" Amy shouted, almost spilling her drink on the tiny brunette. Beca shook her head.

"Have you ever even played?" Lilly asked.

"Yes! It's stupid! It's a game that makes you reveal all your secrets and embarrassing moments. No way," Beca argued.

Lilly and Amy were in the living room with Beca on the couch. Sharing the love seat was Cynthia Rose and Denise. Jessica and Ashley chatted in with them from the floor. Aubrey was making margaritas with Chloe and Stacie in the kitchen.

"What kind of secrets do ya got?" Amy teased. Beca rolled her eyes, sipping her drink.

"No, that needs way more tequila," Stacie said with certainty. Aubrey and Chloe both raised their brows. "I have a high tolerance!" Stacie grabbed the tequila bottle and heavily poured it into the blender.

"Enough, enough! I have a low tolerance!" Aubrey pushed the bottle away, put on the lid and whirled the blender.

"Yeah, we can tell," Chloe mumbled.

"Aca-scuse me? I don't see you drinking!" The blonde spat.

"You know my tolerance is higher! I already said I'm not drinking," The redhead frowned. She knows she said she wasn't drinking, but everyone else was. Chloe knew her limits, she knew when to stop. The night a couple weeks ago was pure weakness. Chloe was in a great mood. She was with her friends and just wanted to have a little fun.

"High tolerance, eh? Prove it!" Stacie declared, pouring the three Bellas shots. Chloe winced. Aubrey glared at her and then burst into giggles.

"Oh, come on. Nothing's going to happen. I promise." It was Aubrey's incognito way of swearing Chloe wouldn't get stupid drunk.

After a moment of contemplation, Chloe gave in. The friends took the shot and chased with margarita.

"Oh... Why?! That was awful!" Chloe whined. She was more of a Jack and Coke type of a girl.

"Just a warning, tequila makes my clothes fall off," Stacie winked. Aubrey and Chloe laughed, agreeing with a 'cheers'!

The leggy brunette poured another round, and three rounds later, everyone started feeling a little more giggly and light. "Let's get these other aca-bitches on our level!" Aubrey rang out carrying the blender into the living room.

"Margarita-ville, round two!" Stacie sang, dancing her way into the living room. Everyone laughed when she tripped over the rug bringing Chloe with her. The twosome laughed wildly on the ground. Chloe landed beneath Beca, and Beca stared down at her. The brunette was about to be on drink number three.

"Have a nice trip?"

"Oh, the nicest! You should come next time!"

"No, thanks. I already had my beat down today," she pointed her the band-aid on her forehead. She pulled up Chloe, the ginger perched herself next to Beca's legs, Stacie sat next to her near Amy's legs. Aubrey handed Chloe a red cup, and the ginger sipped happily.

Beca whispered in Chloe's ear, "I thought you weren't drinking?"

"I'll be fine, don't worry, Mitchell," Chloe said with a wink. Her eyes gleamed and Beca just reassured herself that if Aubrey thought it was okay, then it probably was. While Beca distracted herself with Chloe, Amy stole the tiny girl's cup and spiked it with more booze. The Bellas never really saw the DJ drunk. They had even seen Aubrey hammered, Beca's turn was up.

Beca, unaware of the extra booze, took a big gulp. "How's that drink, Mitchell?" Amy asked. Beca looked around. Everyone else was drinking the same thing, and not wanting to seem like a complete loser, she flashed a thumbs up and forced herself to another sip.

"Okay, so who wants to go first?" Lilly offered.

"I'm NOT playing," Beca pouted.

"Wait, what are we playing?" Chloe asked. She bit her cheek when it was the answer was 'Never Have I Ever'. She always lost.

"I ALWAYS LOOSE!" Stacie sighed, filling up her cup. Everyone giggled.

"I'll start," Amy announced. "All right twig bitches, fingers up. We're playing seven rounds. If you put a finger down, you drink. Once you're out, you have to take a shot. Last three standing get a special prize."

"What's the prize?" CR asked, filling her cup as well.

"That's for you to find out," Amy's eyes got big and she shot Aubrey a look who only laughed. "Okay, never have I ever... had an American accent!" Everyone but Amy obviously put a finger down and drank. "Boom. Crushed it. Aubrey, go!"

"Me? Uh, okay. Let me think," Aubrey paused, her finger on her chin. "Ah, okay. Never have I ever gotten in a fist fight!"

Beca, Amy, CR, Ashley, Stacie and Chloe put a finger down as they drank. Aubrey laughed, proud of herself.

"I've got one, never have I ever had sex in public!" Ashley shouted. Fingers down and drinks up for Amy, Jessica, Chloe, Denise, CR, surprisingly Lilly and not surprisingly, Stacie. "Go, Beca!"

"Me? Uhm, I don't know... Never have I ever broken a bone?" Amy booed but put a finger down along with everyone but Lilly and Ashley.

"Lame, Beca! Okay, here's a good one. Never have I ever made out with a girl," Jessica announced. Everyone but Beca, Lilly and Amy's were down.

"AUBREY?! Damn, there's more Lezzie McGuires in this group than I thought..." She laughed out.

"Who was she?" Jessica asked.

Aubrey's face grew red. And then Beca noticed how it matched the color of Chloe's face. "I'm not telling, I was drunk when it happened. And it was a dare, so next!"

"It was Chloe!" Stacie shouted. Everyone let out a gasping laugh. Aubrey glared at the brunette, with a face that said thanks for sharing that, bitch. Aubrey had drunkenly told Stacie that after the two gossiped the night of ICCAs championship.

"Okay, so what? It was the summer before freshman year! Get over it! Looks like everyone has kissed a girl too!" Aubrey defended, drinking out of her cup.

Beca couldn't help but wonder if that was the only girl Chloe had ever kissed. "Kissing girls is fun when you're drunk," Stacie commented, receiving a strange stare of everyone. She shrugged her shoulders, not caring in the slightest. "Hmm... okay. Never have I ever smoked weed."

"LIE!" CR called out.

"No, seriously! The only times I've gotten high was second hand or brownies," Stacie laughed. Fingers down for everyone but Lilly and Denise.

"AUBREY AGAIN?!" Amy chortled.

"Ok, just because I've been uptight for years doesn't mean I was like that all the time during high school. I've tried it twice. Hated it," Aubrey clarified. "Chloe, your turn."

"Okay! Hmm, never have I ever..." Chloe paused. She remembered why she disliked this game. She's done everything. Well, not everything. "...had a threesome!" Stacie was the only one who put her finger down, thanking Chloe, who just laughed.

Twenty minutes later, the game was over. "All right, we have our champions! Beca, Lilly and Denise! Step this way to claim your prize!" Amy lead everyone into the kitchen and busied herself in the freezer. When she stepped from out behind it, she had huge plastic pineapple cups containing watermelon chunks. She handed each one to each girl. Beca raised her brows in confusion.

"Aubrey and I decided that whoever the lost at Never Have I Ever were aca-lame. Your reward is this delicious vodka watermelon prepared by yours truly," Amy said beaming. Everyone hollered, peer pressuring the three into eating the whole thing.

"Dude! No! It's too much! I'm short! I can't drink this much," Beca complained, watching Lilly and Denise try the fruit. They said they couldn't taste the booze.

"Who cares? It's just us." CR stated, stealing a piece of watermelon from Beca's cup.

The tiny brunette groaned. "Fine, but I'm only eating half." The friends crammed into the kitchen and the three ate half their cups quickly, then shared with everyone else. Beca didn't taste the alcohol too much. Then again, she was definitely drunk. She was using a lot of energy to act sober. She hiccuped. Chloe was the only one who heard, and giggled, flashing her a bright smile. The ginger was about six or seven drinks in, but her tolerance really was high so she was just a little past buzzed. Her, Stacie, Amy and CR were on the same level. Every one else was basically wasted.

A bit later, everyone had migrated back into the living room and were doing what the loved to do: sing and dance. It reminded Beca of the night when they won the ICCAs. Everyone was having a great time. But, the more the alcohol kicked in, the more silly Beca acted. Amy had gotten Beca to sing Aqua's Barbie Girl. Beca being Beca, she mixed it with some Spice Girls and Destiny's Child. It actually sounded really good, and eventually everyone added their own little touches. Beca was even dancing. Willingly. The booze gave her the confidence to just let loose. It felt good.

The Bellas put on some more 90s throwbacks. Everything from R&B to boy bands. Beca was dancing with Stacie, laughing at herself while Stacie tried to 'teach' her some moves. Aubrey was next to Chloe and watched the ginger as she watched Beca. Without a heads up, Aubrey hip checked Chloe right into Beca. Chloe shot her an embarrassed look but Beca laughed and grabbed Chloe's waist. Chloe felt her breath on her ear.

"Cuuuhh-looow. I think I'm a little drunk," Beca confessed.

"A little? I would say so!" Chloe leaned into Beca further.

" 'Member at aca-initiation and you said we'd be fast friends?" The brunette asked. Chloe nodded, smiling. "You were right."

"Well, I do love being right."

"Please text me when you get home!" Aubrey shouted out the door. Denise, Ashley, Lilly, Jessica and CR piled into a cab. "Oh, man. I never thought I'd see Lilly that drunk. She was literally shouting."

"It was a success! I mean, look at that little shorty," Amy gestured to Beca who was in a couch staring around aimlessly. Chloe and Stacie were cleaning up the kitchen.

Aubrey smirked. "Amy, help me get Beca into Chloe's room." Amy agreed, and lifted Beca easily.

"Whoa, easy. Where are we going?" Beca hiccuped.

"Don't worry, we're gonna get your little drunk ass to bed," the Aussie reassured.

Once in Chloe's room, Aubrey helped get Beca situated. Amy headed for the door, Aubrey said, "I'll be down in a sec. You know where the blankets are, will you get some for you and Stace?"

"Sure thing, Cap. Night Shawshank!" Amy called out. Beca responded with a middle finger.

"Why did I drink so much?" Beca asked.

Aubrey sat on the bed next to Beca. This was her chance. "Because you were having fun. I'm drunk too," she paused, waiting for Beca to look at her. When she did, she continued, "Becs, I'm glad you came over today. Chloe's been pretty down without you around. She really missed you."

"I missed her too, so much," Beca said. At this point, the voice inside her head that always made her concerned with what she did or said when it came to Chloe was shut off. She smiled at the thought of being in Chloe's bed again.

"Beca, I never thanked you for coming over that night. It meant a lot to Chloe, and to me."

"I would do anything for Chloe. I'm just bummed at what happened. I wish she had told me about her past," Beca frowned.

"She was embarrassed. She thought you would run away from her. And after Alex, she couldn't go through that again," Aubrey informed.

"Why would anyone ever leave Chloe?! She's the best person. What a shitty friend that Alex was," Beca said sternly.

Aubrey drew a blank stare, then softened it remembering Beca didn't know who Alex really was. "Alex broke her heart."

"I don't understand," Beca said, confused. Then she recalled what Jesse said about Chloe and girls. Her eyes grew big. "Are you saying..."

"I'm not saying anything. I'm saying, I don't want Chloe's heart to get broken again. She's too beautiful for that to happen."

"She is beautiful..." Beca word-vomited. Her cheeks turned red.

"Beca... I want you to know something. I want you to know, that whatever you feel now, right now, you should act on those feelings. You might not get a chance for a long time, and before then it will be too late."

"What are you talking about?"

"I think you know. I know I'm uptight, controlling and a bitch. But, I also know that hiding your feelings isn't worth it. When Chloe said I liked Unicycle, she was right. I've been in love with him for years but I always hide behind the oath because I was afraid. Don't be afraid, don't hide. Things might seem so complicated right now, but they won't matter later. Just something to think about, okay?" Aubrey smiled and left the room. Beca heard Aubrey and Chloe exchange 'good nights' in the hall, and the ginger came into her room. Beca was in her bed. Right where she liked her. Stop that Chloe. It's not going to happen, no matter how much you wish you would have had the courage to kiss Beca after the ICCAs, it's not happening. It doesn't matter that Beca's affectionate with you, or sleeps close to you, because at the end of the day, she's with Jesse.

"Hiya, short stuff?" Chloe joked climbing on to the bed. Beca glared at her. "I'm teasing!"

"Why do you always have to tease me?!" Beca whined, crossing her arms.

"Because it's so fun and easy," Chloe winked. Beca hated when she did that. Well, she actually really liked it. It was pretty cute. She eyed Chloe as the ginger got up to change into shorts. Once again, Chloe's ass was there for Beca's viewing. Beca sighed a little too loud. "You okay?"

Her cheeks flushed, "Huh? Yeah, I'm just a little tired."

"You drank a lot."

"So did you."

"I have a high tolerance, Becs," Chloe reminded her sitting on the bed again. Chloe shut out the light that was on and scooted next to Beca. Before Chloe could get comfortable, Beca was bringing her close. "And Beca the Cuddle Monster awakens!"

"Shut up! I'm cold," Beca tried to act casual. But after hearing what Aubrey said, she needed to be close to Chloe. She needed to feel her warm skin. She was desperate to curl up under the redhead's neck and fall asleep smelling her hair. She wanted to feel Chloe's arms around her. Beca never needed this much physical contact from another person until right now. And it she only wanted it with Chloe.

"You're not going to vomit, are you?" Chloe said, wrapping her arm around Beca so the shorter girl could lay her head on the ginger's shoulder.

"I'm not Aubrey."

"Be nice!"

"I'm trying. You be nice!" Beca sassed.

Chloe perched herself on her elbows, and clicked her tongue. "Mitchell, don't force me to kick you ass."

"Try me," Beca played along. Before she knew it, her and Chloe were playfully fighting. The redhead was pinned under Beca. She was strong for being so small and drunk. "HA! Pinned you. Now what, Beale?! Say I'm the best DJ ever!"

"You're the best DJ ever!" Chloe laughed. She couldn't help but notice how Beca's leg rested between both of hers and how their hands were intertwined. She tried reminding herself that Beca was drunk and just playing around.

"Say I'm the coolest aca-bitch you know!" Chloe giggled, and repeated Beca's words.

"Say you'd take a flying burrito to the chest for me!" Chloe repeated again. Beca was staring right into her eyes, as if she was trying to figure something out. Her grip lightened. Her face relaxed but was serious. She almost looked sad for a moment. Chloe furrowed her brow. The redhead was trying to read her friend. She went from 60 to 0 in seconds. She was quiet, as if trying to figure out how to get the words out of her mouth. She appeared perplexed, like she was thinking one thing and not sure how to say it. Then, Beca spoke out gently. "Say that you love me."

Without any hesitation, Chloe repeated Beca's words. She meant them. She kept telling herself it was the tequila talking. Beca doesn't say the word 'love'.

"Say that I'm pretty," Beca said barely above a whisper. She said it with desperation and need.

Chloe reached up to Beca's face, tucking her dark hair behind her ears. "You're beautiful."

"Say I shouldn't do this..." Without warning, Beca leaned down and pressed her lips against Chloe's. Chloe took it all in. She knew it wasn't the alcohol that made her feel so light. So happy. So loved. So warm. It was Beca and her mouth. The kiss ended too quickly. Beca pulled back, and looked into Chloe's eyes.

"That, I won't say." Chloe grabbed the back of Beca's neck and pulled her in again. Beca let herself relax on top of Chloe's body. It felt so... comfortable. It was different than laying on Jesse. Jesse was harder, firmer and bulky. Chloe was soft, small and delicate. Chloe opened her mouth slightly, and Beca did the same. She felt the ginger's tongue run across her top lip. Beca let her tongue meet the older girl's. The brunette softly bit and sucked on Chloe's bottom lip and the girl beneath her made a soft noise. For a few minutes more, the two explored each other's lips and tongues.

Beca broke the kiss and sprinkled kisses down until she reached Chloe's neck. There, she bit slightly, and smiled against the other girl's neck. She kissed it some more, leaving a small hickey beneath Chloe's ear. She stopped to catch her breath and laid on Chloe. The ginger rubbed her hands over Beca's back, soaking her in, holding her tight afraid Beca would float away if she didn't. Beca was just starting to fall asleep before Chloe changed their position. She turned Beca around, and came up behind her. She pulled her close, kissing her neck and shoulder. Before either of them went to sleep for the night, Chloe pushed herself up on her elbow. She turned Beca's face towards her own. She smiled after Beca smiled first. She brought their lips together for a few more moments before allowing them to fall asleep. As Chloe drifted into a deep sleep, she felt two things. Fear and excitement.

She was ecstatic Beca had kissed her. It felt so right. So natural. She wasn't too pleased both of them were drunk, wondering if Beca would even remember tomorrow morning. But what ruined her thoughts, was the thought of Beca not being there when she woke up. Worried Beca would get freaked out and run away. Away to Jesse. She would deny what happened, blaming the alcohol. She feared the brunette would disown her, accuse Chloe of the entire thing. She was scared that what she felt between them tonight, wouldn't happen again. And with that thought, Chloe went to sleep with silent tears slowly running down her cheeks.

A/N: So. It finally happened. How are we all feeling here? Frustrated? Good! Haha, just kidding. But I gotta leave you wanting more. Also, a confession. That's probably the most descriptive kiss I've ever written. I blushed writing it. So... yeah. :P. Anyways, stay tuned for another update. I can't tell who's more excited about where this will end up, me or you guys?! Thanks for everything! And please review on this chapter AT LEAST if you've never reviewed before.
