Beca took a deep breath in as she woke up the next morning, she'd had some horrible dream that she couldn't remember. As she rolled over to face her beloved ginger she felt an ache between her thighs. She'd expected some pain but the immediate presence of it surprised her a little bit.

"It'll go away eventually. I wasn't too rough was I?" Chloe asked with a concerned tone.

Beca shook her head sleepily before yawning and meeting her girlfriend's gaze, "no, not at all". If anything Chloe had made her first time perfect. The more she thought about it the more she smiled and for the first time in her entire life she was glad she had waited. "It was perfect," the brunette sighed before reaching for Chloe's fingers and intertwining them before following up the action with a gentle kiss. As they got dressed they laughed and pointed at the hickey's they'd accidentally left on each other and smiled brighter than any other day before.

Every little kiss, every grab, every form of affection between the two girls was charged with passion. It was as if someone had opened the floodgates of emotions and desire. The day was filled with heavy make-out sessions that were stopped by Chloe worrying about hurting Beca if they did it again. When they weren't making out they spent the rest day in bed talking and playing Chloe's Nintendo 64. Tomorrow was their last full day in Seattle before they flew out on Saturday morning. Part of Beca was happy to be heading home but she would miss Chloe's family, she'd grown attached to them so quickly. She would miss this place but she missed the comfort of routine and familiar surroundings even more, her only anchor here was Chloe and she was constantly thankful for her.

That night for the first time in possibly ever, Beca fell asleep before Chloe. The orange haired girl stared across the mattress and at her lover. At times she could barely believe the brunette was hers, how had she managed to woo and keep a girl as beautiful as this one? She watched her lover sleep soundly which was a pleasant change, usually she muttered in her sleep. Occasionally her grip on Chloe's hand tightened but if she rubbed circles on the knuckle of Beca's thumb then she usually settled down. The tanner woman smiled as the brunette pulled her closer and nuzzled into her collarbone as she slumbered. At some point Chloe fell asleep with the cutest little smile plastered on her face and in the morning when Beca woke up, it was still there.

Beca woke up first, taking a few moments to appreciate how beautiful Chloe looked. Sunlight came in through the cracks in the slats of the window shades; lighting up the strands of Chloe's disarrayed hair. It really was a beautiful sight. After a few moments the brunette began to pack away their things, getting ready for the trip home. The ache between her legs had faded and only flared up when she moved in a certain way.

"You're up bright and early," Chloe groaned from the bed without checking the time. It was nearly ten o'clock and their flight left at 9pm that night. The brunette pulled some clothes for Chloe and herself before gathering up the last of their things and throwing them inside. "And really productive, what time is it?" the ginger yawned.

Beca glanced at the clock, "10:02:am".

The day was spent with the Beale family, every moment right up until they walked through the departure gate. She held Chloe's hand tightly as she wiped away tears, walking backwards and waving farewell to her family. Beca was so estranged from her father that she never considered how hard it must be for Chloe to live on the other side of the country. They white knuckled it through take off yet again before enjoying the plane's vodka supply.

"We won't get to do this again anytime soon," Chloe said with a smile.

"What?" Beca asked. The ginger quickly linked at her before getting up from her seat, straddling Beca to climb over here and making her way to the bathroom. After a few moments the brunette took a deep breath and swallowed her embarrassment before pursuing her partner. The two of them barely fit in the cubicle together until Beca lifted Chloe onto the basin, rushing and pulling at her girlfriend's pants as their lips crashed together. Soon enough hands were pumping and grabbing. Moans and whispers of encouragement escaped Chloe's lips as Beca pushed her over the edge causing her to bite down on the DJ's shoulder to prevent herself from screaming at the top of her lungs.

When the two left the bathroom they had earned dirty looks from everybody on the plane, including the flight attendants who promptly cut them off with some rehearsed lie about company policy not to serve more than such and such alcohol. By time they landed it didn't matter anyway because Chloe had fallen asleep before descent. The two girls wearily called a cab before heading back to Beca's dorm. By time they crashed onto the bed together the alarm clock shone a bright orange 3:12AM.

Over the next few days all of the other girls returned to campus with amazing stories about their holidays. Aubrey had demanded in their reunion meeting that they begin rehearsal once Fat Amy returned from her trip down under, which caused everybody to laugh for five minutes while the blonde struggled to see the innuendo. At the end of the meeting the girls dispersed and Chloe walked Beca back to her dorm. It was a nice quiet walk; summer was starting to pick up at last so there was no need for jackets.

"Beca!" Jesse called from the steps of her building as he spotted her before waving and running up. Chloe's grip on her lovers hand tightened protectively as the Treblemaker approached. No matter what Beca said the boy just didn't get it, she wasn't into him or his gender. "Hi! Oh you two hold hands, that's cute. So I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go on a date with me? Tomorrow! I'll pick you up at like 7! Cool," he rambled.

Chloe breathed in deeply as he spoke to her girlfriend. They had tried everything with this guy and he just wouldn't let up. Aubrey had tried, Luke had tried even Benji, Jesse's house mate had tried. Beca was too polite about everything though, she tried to shrug him off with non responses but this time that was exactly what the boy was preying on and it made Chloe feel sick to the stomach watching him hit on her girlfriend.

"Jesse, no. I've tried to tell you so many times, I don't like you!" Beca yelled.

The aggression in her voice caught both Chloe and Jesse by surprise.

"You don't now but you will. I'm a stand up guy, you could a lot worse than me," he rebutted before reaching for her hand which was quickly snatched away.

"I have a girlfriend! Chloe is my girlfriend! Just stop and leave me alone okay? I don't want anything from you!" Beca screamed before pushing past him and pulling Chloe along behind her, closing the building door behind them and locking it just before Jesse could pursue them. He stood at the glass door with a tightened jaw.

"That shit is just a phase Beca! You'll see it and you'll come running!" he screamed at her before hitting the door frame and watching them disappear up the stairs.

The two girls laid in Beca's bed in silence. Chloe cuddled the brunette from behind while Beca lay with her knees pulled up to her chest. The DJ breathed in and out, walking herself through her breathing exercises as she suddenly wished they hadn't come back here. The tanner woman kissed her partner's shoulder as she listened to the rhythm exercise.

"Next time you see him, I want you to walk away. Just walk away and find one of us. We just don't know what he's capable of," Chloe spoke with concern flooding her tone.

"Yeah, I will. Thanks for staying with me," Beca whispered. She was so sick of being scared.

"Any time my love," the ginger replied before kissing the brunette's shoulder again.
