More than Miles (Her name is Beca Mitchell)
Beca and Chloe took the couple of hours of drive to Chloe's cabin that weekend. Beca was sure that her girlfriend had told her countless times that her parents is going to like her. But she knew that the redhead is nervous, she is too, but not as nervous as Chloe.
They walked hand in hand upon reaching the Beale's house. Beca squeezed Chloe's hands, earning a smile from the redhead. They were welcomed by Chloe's mom who was smiling widely at them by the front door.
"It's finally nice to meet you, Beca." Chloe's mom, Carol greeted the couple who had just arrived.
Beca gave the old lady a smile as she shook her hand. She quickly noticed and took note where Chloe had inherited her ginger hair.
"It's nice to meet you, too, Mrs. Beale." Beca responded politely.
"Just call me Carol, sweetie." The old woman said with a soft smile which Beca returned
"Come in, my husband would be coming home soon." Carol added with a wide smile as she pushed the door wide open. Chloe looked at her girlfriend with a small smile.
It was Beca who should be nervous, but Chloe is taking the place.
"They'll like you, don't worry." Chloe whispered causing Beca to smirk.
She nodded before leaning in to the redhead.
"Chlo, you've told me that the whole ride from the house to here."
Chloe smiled sheepishly as she nodded her head. They walked inside, Chloe leading Beca to her room where the two of them would be staying for a couple of nights.
They both got changed before going down, finding Carol preparing snacks for them. She asked the two to take a seat on the living room. Chloe comfortably snuggled onto the brunette after settling down on the couch. Carol smiled at the sight before walking to the living room.
"So, how are you Beca?" Carol asked while placing the juice and the cookies she baked.
"Oh, I'm good. Thanks for asking. And you?" Beca casually said, she felt Chloe squeezed her hand so she smiled at the redhead.
"That's good. I'm well. I can't believe I finally got to meet the girl that my daughter had been talking a lot for the past years." Carol responded, sending a soft smile to her daughter who blushed at being revealed.
Beca shifted her gaze at Chloe who was looking away.
"Sorry, but Chloe here only talks about you every time she's here for a visit." Carol added.
Beca smiled sheepishly. Chloe hadn't told her that she's been a topic even while she was away.
"That's pretty cool, I guess." Beca awkwardly said.
Carol nodded with a genuine smile, she was surprised to see her now only daughter blushing like a teenager in front of her crush.
"It is. Why don't you tour her around, Chloe? While I prepare dinner. Your dad would be home soon." Carol suggested.
"Actually, I'm meeting someone here. Can I leave Chloe for a while?" Beca intruded, Chloe looked at her confused. Beca promised her that she would be here for vacation… no business matters.
"It's important. I'll be right back before dinner." Beca excused. Although confused, Chloe nodded before placing a kiss on her lips.
Beca stood up and looked at Carol who only nodded and reminded her to come back before dinner.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you? Were you able to find the directions back here?" Chloe asked, worried plastered on her face. Beca nodded with a small smile.
"I'll text you." Beca said before leaving.
She didn't want to tell Chloe that she was meeting Tom. To talk.
Beca wanted clarifications, she wanted to hear what Tom would have to say. She went to the cemetery where Chloe's twin, Clarisse was buried. There, she saw the familiar guy standing. Beca could not help but feel her anger rushing up in her veins.
She took a deep sigh before taking another step, so she was close to Tom. The man quickly noticed Beca's presence, as he could not bring himself to look at the tiny brunette.
They were quiet for a few moments. Tom, practising in his mind the words he would use to explain to Beca. Although he was now regretting what he had done, there's nothing he could do now but to admit it.
"Chloe was so excited when she called and told me that you're finally coming home with her." Tom started. Beca scoffed as she maintained her gaze on Chloe's sister's grave.
She felt that her anger would only burst if she looks at Tom's dumb face. She'd been wanting to hit him for awhile now.
"I'm sorry Beca. I didn't mean to do that. I was true to my words when I let go of Chloe, when I tried supporting you and Chloe." Tom added, his tone was muffled.
Beca smirked before glancing at the man. "And it just happened that one day you wanted to fuck us up?"
The words that had slipped out of Beca's mouth caught Tom off guard. The thing is, he was really ready to move on from Chloe, specially when he saw how the redhead patiently waited for Beca when the brunette left for LA.
But yeah, he was one of the reasons why Beca messed up and stayed out of Chloe's life. He hurt his bestfriend without Chloe knowing. He feels guilty for that, so when Chloe kind of decided to keep a distance from him, he didn't object.
He doesn't deserve to be nowhere Chloe.
"I'm a jerk, Beca. I know that, I'm sorry that I screw you up." Tom said with a flat tone.
Beca was seriously shaking because of her anger. She could not believe this guy. She turned around and glared at the man, who only looked down.
"Fuck you. Do you think one sorry is enough? Asshole. Well, newsflash, I wasted five years of my life staying out of Chloe's life! Do you know how horrible I felt? I kept on messing things up! Do you know how your one phone call telling me that you're going to take Chloe back lessen my pride? I felt so small because I fucking know how Chloe got so confused because of you!" Beca's tone raised as she vents out her thoughts.
That's right. Six months after Beca moved to LA when she received a call from Tom who was drunk, and he told her to back off because he's taking Chloe back. Beca didn't want to keep it a secret from Chloe, but his words had really gotten into the brunette. Trying to forget what happened between Tom and Chloe wasn't easy for Beca. Her heart broke a million times when she had to let Chloe go… because she felt so defeated. And hearing from Tom that he's taking Chloe back, Beca thought it wasn't impossible for him to succeed.
And it resulted to Beca and Chloe arguing whenever they would call each other. It didn't help when Beca received an envelope of pictures where Chloe was with Tom in a bar, his hands around Chloe's shoulders.
Memories of a confused Chloe went back in Beca's mind that she started doubting everything. She felt scared of the thought that Chloe might never really have feelings for her. It screwed her ego, her feelings.
Beca got the courage to point it out on Chloe, the redhead defended that nothing's going on, however, she decided to stay away from Tom as much as she can. But it was too late for Beca, back then. She had just kept on piling up all her mistakes that it resulted to her, leaving Chloe. Turning her back on everything, including the people she loved.
Because she had done a terrible mistake.
And that's what made pushed her to resort to her old self, the Beca who shuts everyone out. Who kept everything to herself. Who always leaves when things are in chaos.
"I didn't mean to destroy what you were starting to fix with Chloe. Believe me Beca. You know that, and that German girl pushed me to do it. I honestly thought you're just going to hurt Chloe." Tom explained, Beca breathed an air of her own frustrations.
"That doesn't mean you get to ruin my relationship with her!" Beca exclaimed, her face flushing from her anger. Before her own fist came in contact with his face, she was stunned when Tom was shoved on the ground.
"You prick! How dare you let my daughter go through that?"
Before Beca could move, her eyes widened when she realized that it was Chloe's father. Tom looked down in shame of his selfish acts. He felt his lips broke upon receiving a punch.
"I can't believe I almost trusted you with both of my daughters." David yelled angrily, before he could surge and possibly beat the hell out of the man, Beca stepped in and tried to stop the raging old man.
Because even though she wanted Tom to suffer to, things had happened. And there's nothing that could change now.
"You stay out of my daughter's life. I'm so disappointed in you, Tom." David said with a warning tone before turning to Beca.
He took a deep sigh before motioning for the tiny brunette to follow him. Beca felt awkward that she gets to meet Chloe's father in that way. Once they had approached their cars, David turned to face the brunette.
"I'm sorry. I honestly hated you the day Chloe came to us crying saying you broke things with her. I thought you were just being a jerk to get back on my daughter." The old man's voice was calmer than before. Beca looked at the old man, noticing how his eyes resembling Chloe's.
"I'm sorry sir. I let his words get in my head and ruin things for Chloe and I." Beca responded as she looks away.
Beca wasn't going to blame everything on Tom. She would claim that it was her fault too, she let her insecurities take her over. She felt bad for doubting Chloe, but she knew it was really hard for her to trust Chloe after what had happened to them before. She's well aware that Tom is an important person in Chloe's life. And she still believes that there's no way… she could compete with that.
She had these kinds of thoughts for the past five years.
"I would say I understand, Chloe had once hurt your feelings. But she's my daughter, I know she'd never do it twice." David snapped when he noticed that the tiny woman was zoning out.
"Took you five years to get back with my daughter. Now I can see that it would be all worth it. Though you could've wrapped your head around this issue sooner. I kind of resent you for leaving my daughter clueless, she deserves to know, Beca."
Beca nodded in understanding. But she sucked at opening up to people. That's one thing that she couldn't easily do. Chloe was aware of that. And it's also the reason why she had continually mess everything up.
"Now, let's go home to our girls. I would expect you to talk it out with Chloe." David added before entering his own car.
Both Chloe and her mother were surprised when Beca and David arrived at the same time. Chloe felt her heart beating harder at the thought that they could've possibly meet without her knowing. She was even more worried when she saw Beca gave her a small smile.
"Oh, I'm so glad you meet her already, honey!" Carol chirped in excitement when she saw her husband and her daughter's girlfriend arriving at the same time.
The old man pecked on his wife's cheek before nodding.
"Well, I met her on the way here. I already knew who she was basing on Chloe's stories." David answered, he chuckled at the flustered reaction from Chloe.
"I'm not telling you guys anymore stories. You can't keep my secrets." Chloe tried to sound offended, making her parents laugh before telling the two of them that dinner would be served soon.
Chloe noticed that look in Beca's eyes, so she decided to bring the brunette upstairs.
"Are you okay, baby?" Chloe asked worriedly before locking the door and walking towards Beca.
"Yeah, sorry. I'm good." Beca rambled making the redhead furrow her eyebrows in concern.
Despite the urge of wanting to know what's wrong, Chloe knew that she should give Beca some time.
"I'm here if you want to talk, or I can listen. You know that." Chloe reassured her girlfriend.
Beca nodded with a small smile, her eyes on Chloe's.
"Kiss me." Beca ordered. Chloe smiled before squeezing Beca's hands. She then leaned forward and pecked on the brunette's lips.
What was meant to be a short kiss turned into a make out session. Beca deepened their kiss when she pulled the redhead, urging her to sit on her lap. The kiss wasn't sloppy, it was full of emotions that they both shared.
When Beca felt Chloe starting to grind on her lap, she pulled back.
"Chlo, your parents are just downstairs. I'm sure they'll kick me out when they heard you scream my name." Beca teased, stopping the redhead's ministrations.
Chloe rolled her eyes, she stopped her movements but she stayed on Beca's lap.
"Does that mean no sex for us in two days?" She asked causing Beca to chuckle.
"Yup, unless you are capable of keeping quiet." Beca responded, clearly teasing the redhead who groaned in response.
"We should just stay in a hotel." Chloe retorted with a playful smile, Beca rolled her eyes before pecking on Chloe's lips.
The two were once again drowned by their kisses and before Chloe could lose her control and forget that they're here for Beca to meet her parents, they heard Chloe's mom calling them downstairs for dinner.
Grudgingly, Chloe got off on Beca's lap as she fixed herself whilst Beca could only smirk, in disbelief at how easy she could turn Chloe on.
She could not also believe how Chloe is becoming addicted to it since their first night. Damn, the redhead would always wore her out every chance she could get.
The dinner wasn't awkward as what Beca thought it would be. The Beale's were accommodating and really friendly. She now knows where Chloe got her traits from.
"So, Beca…" Chloe's dad trailed off. Beca immediately looked at the old man to announce that she's listening.
"Have you and Chloe done it, yet?"
The question made both girls choke on their food, alarming Carol as she handed them their waters. She glared at her husband for being so blunt.
"They're adults, Carol. And I wanted to know if Beca would agree with me if I say that redhead's tends to be so active in bedroom." David explained nonchalantly, causing Beca to choke again.
She smiled to herself before glancing at Chloe who was now blushing. I could not agree more to that. Beca thought.
"Dad." Chloe whispered, attempting to stop her father to talk more.
The old man just chuckled before resuming to eating.
"Well, just take my advice Beca. you need to eat a lot of vegetables if you're planning on it." David teased, making the brunette flush in embarrassment.
"Honey, you're making Beca uncomfortable." Carol chimed in, though a small smile was in her face, enjoying how the two couple reacts to her husband's antics.
Beca didn't really expect Chloe's father to be as blatant as this. She honestly thought that David Beale would be as protective and a strict father. His very protective side was shown when he called Beca and begged her to make sure that she'll make sure that Chloe would be happy.
The thought almost made Beca frown.
She did honour her promise, she tried leaving Chloe for Tom and in return, he helped her screw things up.
Chloe noticed the change in Beca's demeanor, she placed her hand on top of Beca's rubbing her thumb. Beca shifted her gaze and smiled at Chloe. The two older Beale's watch in silence, smiles on their faces as they saw how lovingly the two looked at each other.
After dinner, Chloe had argued with her dad to stop his idea of drinking with Beca. Because she knew that the brunette was laying off on alcohol for awhile for some reasons, despite his protests, David let it all go and let the couple rest for the night.
He just wanted to know the girl more who seemingly had caught his daughter's heart for years now.
So, the two were now cuddling on Chloe's bed, the brunette rejecting Chloe's suggestion of watching a movie. Chloe was fiddling with Beca's fingers, as she was also denied by the brunette when she requested to be the bigger spoon this time.
The brunette reasoned out that it wasn't badass looking if Chloe would be the bigger spoon.
"Where did you went earlier, Becs?" Chloe asked.
Beca moved a little bit as she contemplated as to whether should she tell Chloe now or wait for the right timing. She's not going to keep it to Chloe for longer, that's for sure.
"I just met with someone." Beca reasoned out. Chloe turned and looked up to see her girlfriend.
"I didn't know you knew someone from here, other than me." Chloe responded. The brunette heave a deep sigh before nodding.
"Yeah, don't worry it was nothing." Beca retorted before ducking down to kiss her lips.
Chloe happily returned the kiss. Again, turning it into a heavy make out. Beca could tell that the redhead is frustrated that they would have to lie low for now.
"I don't think they would kick you out, Beca. You heard my dad. He'll be cool with it." Chloe said with a seductive voice as soon as she pulled out. Beca chuckled at her girlfriend's behaviour.
"Well, I hadn't eaten a lot of vegetables." The brunette mocked with her infamous smirk.
Chloe playfully rolled her eyes, but she really is turned on. She doesn't even care right now if people would think that she's being needy. She just couldn't get enough of Beca.
"Just a quickie, Becs." Chloe tried using her puppy eyes to Beca.
Beca's eyes widen, she then started to wonder how turned on the redhead was for her to request even for a quickie.
"You're not going to stop until I give in, aren't you?" Beca decided to tease the redhead a little more. Because if ever, she's pretty turned on, too. She is, every time they would make out.
Chloe sported a playful smile. "Can you blame me? you keep on giving me the good stuff."
It was what all it took for Beca to grab the redhead and hover on top of her, leaning in for a kiss which was quickly returned by the redhead.
"Alright, a quickie it is."
AN: You can all hate Tom now. (there's more to it)
