Heya guys! I got distracted by exams and looking up facts about 'so brown they look black' eyes.
Chloe was sitting in front of her vanity desk, bobbing her head to the now all too familiar beat and the catchy tones of the steel drum. She was applying some mascara "mafiaaa~" she giggled to herself and her eyes immediately shot to her phone where a text from her best friend lit up the screen.
Becs :P 13:27 : See you soon X
The redhead bit her lip in excitement and felt the butterflies flutter in her stomach at the little kiss that the once so closed off brunette never would've even been caught dead doing.
Well you could say that Chloe Beale was confident in all of it.
Chloe hummed with the song, blushing as she looked in the top corner of her vanity, a picture of Beca smiling brightly at the camera, with the silly red panda hat that Chloe gave her for her birthday. Her tongue slightly stuck out as she smiled at Chloe who was the one that had made the picture.
The butterflies seemed to have invited the whole zoo as she thought back to that day. Beca had been in one of her rare spontaneous moods and showed up at her door, pulling her to her car and going on about a fair going on in town. They had spent the whole day there, laughing, goofing and just having fun. When it began to get dark, Beca had taken her to a hill that looked out over the fair and the beautiful night sky, she would never forget that day. Beca had rested her head on her shoulder and snuggled close to her as a content sigh left her.
She had gazed into those beautiful stormy blue eyes as they were lit up by the many, colored lights from the fair.
Chloe had almost confessed her feelings then and there but their moment had been ruined when Aubrey, Stacie and Jesse had spotted them.
The redhead sighed longingly when her phone went off. She looked at the caller ID and saw Aubrey's name, she grabbed her phone and pressed the green button. "Hey Bree! What's up?" the blonde on the other side chuckled at the enthusiastic greeting. "Hey Chlo, oh nothing much. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall with Stacie and I?" The redhead gnawed her lower lip as she looked around her room "Uh well Bree I would love to but I already have things to do today"
Chloe could practically hear Aubrey's smirk.
"Uhu, since when are we calling Beca, 'things'?" Chloe turned beet red and scowled, all the commotion in her stomach was so intense that it almost hurt. "Hush up Bree! You were the same with Stace!" The blonde laughed and hummed "Alright alright feisty, well have fun with your 'things to do today' text me the details later!" Chloe giggled "For sure Bree! Have fun in the mall, bye!" The blonde returned her farewell and hung up.
Chloe looked at herself in the mirror, doing some last checkups before walking over to her closet and grabbing the clothes she'd imagined wearing since Beca texted her to hang out at her house.
Beca arrived at the now all too familiar big front door of the Beale's. She felt the now all too familiar butterflies flare up again when she saw Chloe's name on the doorplate. Her crush on the older girl had been getting worse as the days passed but she couldn't stop herself from being around the redhead. She was literal kryptonite for the brunette. A drug that she just couldn't stop, she would always come back for more even if it would only damage her in the end.
The brunette remembered when they met. Beca was new in town and thus put in a new school. Barden high. She didn't know anyone and didn't want to either. Her parents were divorced and her dad had forced her to come live with him even though she much rather be with her mom. They had a whole fight about the custody and her dad eventually won, it still was a shared custody but she mainly had to live with her dad while the weekends were for her mom. Luckily she lived only a few towns over but it still sucked.
Beca had been on her way to the principle office to get her schedule when she bumped into someone. "Oh I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking! Oh my god!" The brunette really didn't want to deal with this shit so she put on her best scowl but it quickly disappeared when she saw who had bumped into her.
The most beautiful girl she'd ever seen.
The redhead was hanging over her, the light from the high windows behind her giving her this glow over her gorgeous and luscious hair that highlighted her whole face. The deep Tenerife sea blue eyes staring into hers, filled with concern. Her lips were full and pink, pulled into a concerned line. Her eyebrows were scrunched up and she was reaching her hand out to the brunette.
Beca shook herself out of her beautiful girl induced stupor and grabbed the redhead's hand oh wow her hands are so soft!
The redhead smiled brightly at her when she saw nothing amiss with the brunette and held onto Beca's hand, shaking it slightly as she looked curiously at her. "Hey there, sorry for bumping into you there" the giggled, even that sound was a define notion to Beca "my name is Chloe Beale, I haven't seen you around here before though, what's your name?" this girl sure did talk a lot but it didn't bother Beca, for the first time in the seventeen years she'd lived, didn't mind that someone talked her ears off.
She was still caught up by the soft skin when she noticed that Chloe was looking at her expectantly, grinning slightly when she noticed the effect she had on the brunette. Has Beca mentioned the perfect teeth the has?
"Uh! Heh my name is Beca Mitchell. I'm new here." She ended a bit shyly, looking everywhere but into those addicting blue eyes. Chloe brightened and let Beca's hand slip from hers. "Really! Well I'll be happy to escort you to the principal's office!" but before Beca could even utter a word she was already being hooked around her arm and pulled towards the opposite direction.
She was smiling at the fond memory as she stepped up to the doorbell and pressed it once. The door opened a moment later and she was greeted by Mrs. Beale's bright smile. "Beca dear! Come in! Do you maybe want something to drink?" Beca grinned at the older version of Chloe "Thank you Mrs. B but I'm good" she peeked into the living room, seeing Chloe's dad reading the morning paper "Hey there Mr. B!" the short brunette waved at the big man with the most impressive beard she'd ever seen. The man looked up and his eyes twinkled as he smiled at her "Hey there Becs! Chlo is upstairs!" the brunette thanked him and started her trek upstairs.
She could hear a pretty catchy beat floating down and it became louder with every step she took up the stairs. Beca began to bob her head to the steel drum, which was a very nice touch to the track. She kept in mind to ask Chloe about this song and to use it in one of her mixes.
When she arrived upstairs she could see Chloe's door slightly ajar, not wanting to disturb in her jam session, she quietly crept to the door and peeked in, seeing Chloe dancing to the song and holding her brush to her mouth like a mic. The brunette grinned endearingly and chuckled softly. Her gaze turned adoring as she watched how Chloe danced. It never seized to amaze her.
I put your picture on my mirror, start to blush when somebody says your name
Beca titled her head curiously, her body language turned concerned at the longing and troubled tone in which the beautiful Chloe had sung so perfectly.
In my stomach there's a pain
The brunette wanted to announce her presence but something stopped her so she opted to just keep quiet for a little while, wanting to see what was troubling her best friend and was hopeful that she was capable to help the redhead through it if she needed her.
Chloe was dancing to the beat, holding her stomach as she sang the line, still feeling the after effects from the phone call with Aubrey.
She had caught herself with this little crush a few weeks prior.
See you walk in my direction I go the other way
"Stacie I'm fucked, I'm so utterly fucked." Chloe was pacing by the fountain in the middle of the mall and gnawing at her lower lip. She growled at the cackling of her other best friend. "Bitch why are you even doing this then, you're so weird." The tall brunette snickered at how ridiculous the redhead was being. "I don't know Stace! God you're even worse than Aubs!"
Chloe had been in the mall, nothing special really.
Well that was until she catched herself planning this whole mall trip around the time a certain small brunette always came here to meet up with her skateboard friends.
"Boo just admit it, you're wet for the little squirt oh and your heart too of course." Chloe scoffed at Stacie's demented way of saying that Chloe had a crush on Beca but sure, that's basically what's going on.
"Yeah yeah, I have a crush on Becs, happy now? Great. Help me." Chloe added sarcastically. Stacie guffawed "Dude she's rubbing off on you, and not only in this way." The redhead could practically hear the salacious wink. She turned red.
"God Stace you're no help at all. Fine. I'll think of something on my own." Stacie giggled "don't you worry sweets, Bree and I will have a little plan of ourselves the next time you'll definitely be calling us for advice." Chloe finally let herself giggle at that. She couldn't deny the truth. "Alright Stace, she should be here in a few, I'll talk to you later!" Stacie said her goodbyes and hung up. Leaving Chloe there standing awkwardly by the fountain.
I should just go while I can. She immediately went for the nearest entrance/exit but because the universe loved her so. The object of her affections just so happened to skate through just that one entrance, out of all the entrances there were she just had to skate through that one.
Beca had her earphones in with her skateboard underneath her right foot. She once had mentioned about how she skated goofy but even though the redhead never really understood what she was talking about. Beca was almost as passionate about skateboarding as she was about music so of course she was going to listen.
Shit. Beca seemed to also skate directly in her direction, she didn't seem to have seen her though. Chloe took this to her advantage as she abruptly turned around, flung her hood over her head and started a brisk walk to the opposite direction.
She had hidden herself under her blanket when she arrived back home, hoping and praying to everything that Beca hadn't seen her or that she'd just imagined that Beca was looking and going straight at her.
Later when Beca had texted her about her day and hadn't mentioned anything about seeing Chloe at the mall did she allow herself to calm down. Knowing Beca, she'd confront Chloe about her being at the mall and why she had walked away the way she did.
The next day they'd hung out again and Beca had taught her some basics of skateboarding. It had taken her numerous attempts to even just roll on the board. The first time she'd fallen because she tried to ride goofy.
"Chloe! Are you okay!?" Beca had abandoned her board and came running to the fallen redhead. Chloe was rubbing her left arm, it wasn't anything major but it still hurt. Beca reached her hand out for the redhead, concern never leaving her deep blue stormy eyes.
Instant warmth shot through her arm when Beca touched her, trying to get a better look at the small scratch on her arm. Chloe immediately pulled back "O-Oh! I'- I'm fine B-Becs don- don't worry!" she awkwardly chuckled, trying to hide the blush she felt creeping to her cheeks.
Beca frowned "well let me help you get up then." Beca once again reached out for her but Chloe knew she wouldn't be able to hold herself back if the brunette were to touch her again "N-No! it-it's al-alright!" Chloe tried to push herself up but her knees felt weak and she would've fallen to the ground if it wasn't for Beca rushing forward and catching her.
The redhead gasped quietly when she felt Beca's warm arms around her, they were thin but held so much strength, she couldn't help but imagine how it would feel if Beca picked her up and spun her around only to place her down gently and pull her in for a ki-
Chloe pushed away from the brunette, feeling guilty when she saw the flash of hurt in Beca's eyes. "I'm so-sorry Becs. I'm not feeling really well, I should go home." The brunette didn't say anything, just nodded accepting as she kept her gaze on the ground. The redhead swallowed thickly, reaching out she gently forced the brunette's chin up. Chloe looked deep into those beautiful stormy blues' and grinned her signature megawatt smile. "I had so much fun today though Becs, thank you"
The brunette shyly smiled back and Chloe grinned even wider when she saw the faint pink that decorated Beca's cheeks.
I start to stutter when I speak
Try to speak but my knees feel weak
The redhead still had no idea that a certain small brunette was still watching her as she passionately sang and danced to the funky song. Even Beca couldn't help but still bob along with the beat.
You're always on my mind
When you come around
I get shy
When I see u, when I see u
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see u, when I see u
The brunette stopped in her tracks. Wait… She saw Chloe stand and carefully pull a photo from the vanity. She knew that picture all too well, it was the one they took at the fair that was in town last year, that hat was still her absolute favorite and she wore it every chance she got. Chloe held it to her chest and Beca could practically feel the longing coming from the redhead as she pulled back and stared at the picture.
Does this mean
I scribble X and O's in my notebook
Checking how my hair and nails look
Everything began to dawn on Beca. How Chloe often slammed her notebooks closed when she asked her what she was doing, scribbling the whole time. Even now. The redhead was ruffling her hair up and checking everything on her, smoothing out imaginary wrinkles.
I feel myself in the zone
I get nervous when you call
So I say I'm not home
There really was this time where Beca had called Chloe for a second skating lesson only to be directed to voicemail. That didn't really stop Beca though so she just tried again. It never happened that Chloe purposely ignored her call so she must've been busy. This time Chloe did pick up. "Hey. Sorry I'm not home." And promptly hung up.
Five minutes later Beca was still staring confused at her phone.
A few seconds later though she received a text from Chloe saying that she was sorry and didn't feel well at the moment so Beca let it go and went to the skatepark.
Granted, being nervous is a really annoying feeling.
I see your face when I hear my favorite song
Should I send an e-mail at home
That kinda brought a blush to Beca's face. Sure, Chloe had various favorite songs but, well, heh. She had one absolute favorite, the one she jams to. Yeah. That one.
Still. Kinda flattering she had to admit that.
You're the number one topic on the phone,
I wonder if you know or do you have a clue (yeah yeah)
Well now I do. The brunette thought as she saw the redhead do a particular very flexible move that had her smirking. She shook out of it and smiled softly. It's not every day that your feelings get reciprocated.
Chloe started on the chorus again and looked out the window, without a doubt looking if her favorite little brunette was already approaching her house.
Out of nowhere she tore herself from the window and she closed her eyes. She looked beyond nervous. That kind of feeling where your chest feels empty and ticklish, as if gravity is about to drag your ass against earth.
Beca still found her dramatic
Not that she didn't like that about her
Something now is taking over me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm not going to run now, just go to stand here, yeah
Oh oh oh
Yeah
Beca made up her mind. As Chloe was still dramatically dancing around her room she decided to sneakily get in the room and silently hopped on the dresser. If she sat still enough the redhead wouldn't see her. Partly because Beca was one of the only ones who knew she actually needed glasses but mostly wore contacts. The brunette knew she wasn't wearing them because her eyes glistered more than normal. She'd know, looking in Chloe's gorgeous eyes for a copious amount of time.
You're always on my mind
"Hey baby!" Beca grinned, she couldn't explain it and normally she didn't really like pet names but hearing the word baby affectionately coming from Chloe gave her butterflies.
When you come around
I get shy
When I see u, when I see u
"You're so sexy girl, you're so sexy girl!" Chloe sang over Fantasia, changing the word boy to girl. Beca had to keep in the laugh that unexpectedly bubbled up. That dork would of course go and twist the words a bit.
Still, very flattering indeed.
Never know when you might walk by
So I gotta be right on time
When I see u, when I see u
Chloe repeated the chorus a few times, every now and again belting some of the background lyrics. Beca was just watching her with a silly grin and chuckled every now and again. When Chloe was done with her passionate performance she was panting with a melancholy smile on her face.
Beca decided to fuck with her and started to clap.
Chloe screamed.
She jumped a few feet in the air, Beca still swears that she almost hit the ceiling.
The brunette was hysterically laughing, almost falling off the dresser as she did so. The redhead was still recovering from the scare and was leaning against her vanity. Glaring at the still laughing brunette.
Mrs. Beale walked to the bottom of the stairs "Girls? Is everything okay?" Chloe was still panting. Undoubtedly still from her performance and the scare. "Yeah mom everything is just peachy. It's just Beca being a gigantic asshole!" Chloe yelled back with an eyeroll. Chloe's mom laughed and walked back to whatever she was doing.
Beca hopped off from the dresser and approached Chloe, who had now slightly recovered. She was biting her lip though, indicating that she was nervous.
"Heyy Becs! H-how much did y-you hear?" she asked smiling awkwardly and looking everywhere but the little brunette who was getting closer and closer. Beca just smirked "Oh enough" Chloe chuckled nervously "Wh-What do-does enough m-mean?" Chloe was stuttering badly and the brunette chuckled "Man that song was pretty accurate huh?" Chloe whined and gave in "Okay you got me…" she looked down at the ground with a little pout on her lip.
Adorable.
Beca put her finger underneath the redhead's chin and gently pulled her head up, making Chloe look at her. The brunette winked at her "Still, I have to admit Beale. I can't deny that you do the exact same things to me." Beca said softly as her other hand came up to caress Chloe's face. The redhead's eyes lit up with hope and excitement and Beca couldn't help it. She started to lean in. "When?" was all that Chloe could ask as she lost herself in the sight of the approaching lips of her long time crush.
"When I saw you" was all Beca said before she closed the gap between them, firmly planting her lips on Chloe's. The redhead whimpered when their lips finally met each other and Beca released a longing sigh.
All of the sudden the heard squeals from the door to Chloe's room and they broke apart to glare at the persons who interrupted them. They saw Aubrey, Stacie, Chloe's mom and her dad standing there. All with excited looks on their faces.
"Finally!" Chloe's dad roared and the other girls laughed as he fists pumped.
Chloe giggled as Beca chuckled at the ridiculous people dancing around with each other in celebration. The brunette turned back to the redhead and pecked her on the cheek and pulled back to watch those amazing blue eyes sparkle.
Yeah. When I saw you.
