Aubrey, Beca and Chloe made their way to the breakfast buffet at the restaurant. Beca helped Chloe with her seat and Chloe whispered "Thank you." The brunette sat beside her and smiled at Chloe lovingly. The two women were completely oblivious with the looks the Bellas were giving them. Fat Amy wiggled her eyebrows at Stacie who cleared her throat to break the silence.
"So Chloe, how are you feeling?" Stacie asked innocently.
"Uhm, hungry?" Chloe answered with a confused look. She had a feeling something was going on. "Do you guys know something we don't know that happened last night?" She looked at the other women. Beca was too busy drinking water and she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, shoot. We forgot the coffee Aubrey gave us upstairs. Let me just get it," Beca got up but Chloe stopped her.
"I'll come with you," Chloe got up as well. She didn't want to be in an uncomfortable situation right now but she knew something was up.
Once the two women were out of the restaurant, the Bellas burst into laughter.
"Oh my god! They really have no idea!" Fat Amy said with a chuckle.
"They are in for some serious trouble," Cynthia Rose shook her head in amusement.
"As much as I would love them to stay married, I'm really worried about Chloe's boyfriend," Jessica informed the other women.
"Okay, Ladies. We need to let them know," Aubrey said in a serious tone, "This isn't funny anymore."
"Or like I said, we can have a little fun of our own. We can make them find out themselves."
"Oh! I like that!" Fat Amy said excitedly.
"No. This isn't right," Aubrey said. "Marriage is something serious. It's not some kind of practical joke. They should get married because they love each other not because of some drunken mistake."
Stacie rolled her eyes, "Don't you see? They got married in a drunken state. You can't hide what you really feel when you're that drunk. I bet those two still have feelings for each other."
The other girls nodded in agreement and Aubrey just sighed in frustration.
All the Bellas gathered around the dance floor and danced together. They were all having fun until Aubrey noticed the two people missing in the circle. She turned to Stacie and shouted to her ear.
"WHERE'S CHLOE AND BECA?!" Aubrey asked.
Stacie grinned and pulled Aubrey closer, "FAT AMY SAW THEM WALKING OUT THE CLUB TOGETHER! THEY ARE SOOOO DRUNK! YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THEM." She laughed and continued dancing while talking to Aubrey.
Aubrey's eyes widened in horror at the thought of what could possibly happen, "WHAT?!"
Stacie looked at Aubrey and realized what she had just said. "OH SHIT! WE NEED TO FIND THEM!" Stacie called the attention of the Bellas for those who wanted to go to the search party for the two women. Cynthia Rose and Amy were the only ones sober enough to come with them.
Cynthia Rose volunteered to drive, "Amy, did you at least know where they're going?"
"I don't know! They were giggling all the time and Chloe was holding Beca's arm. I'm telling ya' it was just like old times. You know every time we have a Bellas' party those two would always head out early." Amy who was sitting in the back seat responded.
Aubrey let out a sharp sigh, "We just need to find them." She looked out the window of the passenger seat.
"Over there!" Stacie pointed out the window. Beca and Chloe were laughing as they went out a chapel. Cynthia Rose stopped the car just when Beca and Chloe waved at them. Chloe was holding a bouquet of roses and Beca was wearing a black hat. Chloe took Beca's hat and threw it in the air.
"WE'RE MARRIED!" Chloe shouted happily and tried to pull Beca in for a kiss but they both ended up vomiting at each other.
"I feel like something is up with them. They're hiding something from us," Chloe told Beca.
"Maybe they're just messing around considering what happened last night," Beca said, "Calm down. If something did happen, Aubrey will tell us."
Chloe nodded, "You're right. Aubrey won't let me do something stupid."
Beca just let out a small smile but it did hurt a bit when Chloe said that. But who is she kidding? Chloe has a boyfriend. She was right.
"Ugh, I need to pee," Chloe said and she walked briskly towards their door and waited for Beca to unlock the door.
Beca mischievously grinned at Chloe as she slowly opened the door knowing that the redhead needed to use the bathroom.
"Beca! Hurry up!" Chloe threw the brunette a glare. Beca just laughed and opened the door.
Chloe went straight to the bathroom when they got in the room. Beca told her that she got the coffee. She looked around the living room and saw where they left it. She was about to take the cups when she saw a piece of pink paper on the ground. The paper was crumpled and it was a bit dirty but Beca still took it. Part of her was curious as to what it was. She opened it and slightly frowned in disbelief.
It was a marriage contract. Their marriage contract.
"What?" Beca let out a frustrated whisper.
"Everything all right, Becs?" Chloe asked coming from the bedroom.
Beca tensed and immediately crumpled the paper and put it in her pocket. "Um, yeah." Beca stammered and tried to explain herself, "Aubrey forgot the cream and sugar. That bitch," She laughed nervously.
Chloe raised an eyebrow, giving her a questioning look, "Huh. Why is everybody acting so weird this morning?"
Beca shrugged and chuckled, "Hangover. I guess? C'mon, I'm starving." She took the two cups on the table and they both went to the restaurant.
Stacie wanted to spend more time with her friends so she invited them to go out for a swim and relax by the pool for the rest of the day. Beca stayed under the big umbrella and sat on one of the beach chairs. She just enjoyed the view of the pool and watched her friends playing volleyball in the pool while listening to music. It was getting hot so she opened her plaid shirt, revealing her black bikini. She kept her sunglasses on and took a sip of beer.
"Aren't you going for a swim?"
Beca looked up and saw Aubrey smiling down at her, "Nah, maybe later." She paused her music and took off her headphones.
"Why are you here all by yourself?"
Beca couldn't help but let out a smirk at the blonde, "Since when did you care about me being alone?"
Aubrey just rolled her eyes and sat on the beach chair beside Beca's. "I was just wondering. Stacie is really moving to a different country. No wonder she wanted to spend more time with us."
"Too bad, only Fat Amy gets to go to her wedding. If I had known, I would've booked a ticket to Australia but I have work." She turned her attention to the redhead laughing hysterically while Stacie was splashing her with water playfully. Chloe caught Beca's gaze and winked at her.
She let out a small smile and that didn't go unnoticed by Aubrey who just looked away as she came to realize something. Maybe Stacie is right, they still have feelings for each other and they're just too scared to admit that. She knew Chloe is still in love with Beca. When Chloe is with Jeremy, she seems happy but not as happy when she's with Beca. She had never seen Chloe this genuinely happy since Beca left her. She should be mad at Chloe for behaving differently around Beca but there's nothing she can do about that. That's just the way Chloe acts around Beca. Girlfriends or not. It's like they really belong to one another. Aubrey wished they could just stay that way.
"It's been three years, Beca." Aubrey started, "You still look at her the way you look at her when you two were together."
Beca just shrugged in response, "I loved her, Aubrey." She let out a sigh and muttered, "And I still do." She took a sip of her beer and checked her phone.
Aubrey knew keeping this secret is a bad idea so she decided to maybe just tell her. "Beca, there's something that you should know."
Beca looked at her just when her phone started to ring. She answered the call, "Yeah? So, is it true?"
Aubrey watched Beca as she shook her head and rubbed her forehead in disappointment. Aubrey guessed it must be something with work so she decided to just tell it some other time. She didn't want to stress Beca out even more.
"Shit," Beca said under her breath, "Yeah, I'll figure something out…I don't know, okay? I'll call you when I get home…Bye." She hung up and put her phone on the table. She buried her face in her hands and pulled her hair back.
"I'm sorry, Aubrey. You were saying something?" Beca forced a smile and looked at her friend who suddenly felt uneasy.
"Nothing. It can wait. I think I'll go for a swim. It's getting hot in here," Aubrey said as she stood up and left the brunette.
Beca furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and reached for her phone to quickly send a text message to the person who called her a while ago.
Stella: Beca, tell Chloe about this situation. I know you love her but you have to be honest with her.
Beca: If she found out about this then we're done being friends. Look, we're doing great now and I don't want to ruin that.
Stella: She deserves to know, Beca. Don't forget she's STILL in a fucking relationship.
Beca just stared at the text message and let out a deep sigh. She wanted to lie down for a bit so she took her iPod and headphones to go back to their room.
Chloe saw Beca leave and was a bit concerned. Beca was a bit off since this morning when they got coffee. Beca wouldn't talk to her much or she seemed really nervous talking to her. She decided to just ignore it because maybe it had something to do with what happened last night.
"Hey, Aubrey," She called the blonde who was sitting by the pool, "Is everything alright with Beca?"
"Yeah. Maybe it's a work thing. She seemed really stressed out," Aubrey replied.
"She's been acting strange this morning. Did she say something to you about last night? Like if she remembered something I did wrong?"
Aubrey looked at Chloe and gave her a soft smile, "You know, Beca. She can be moody and distant when she's stressed out." She answered non-chalantly. She feels really bad for not telling Chloe. It might just make things more difficult for Chloe.
Chloe just nodded in response and continued having fun with her friends. Maybe she'll just ask Beca later.
