About a month later the girls were all talking at the lunch table when the principle came over the speakers of the intercom system. "Students of Barden High, you have spoken and your candidates for Homecoming Queen and King are: Freshman class Danielle Jennings and Andrew Hedden, Sophomore class Brittany Brandt and Kevin Myers. For the Junior class Chloe Beale," The table quietly broke out in cheers then the cheers turned into grumbles as they heard, "and Tom Saunders. Senior class…" The girls toned him out as they couldn't believe what they just heard.
"Does everyone not see what a dickwad he is?" Fat Amy asked. "How could they vote him to run for homecoming king?" Everyone went on complaining about what a jerk he was except for Beca, which was usually president of the I hate Tom club. But right now she was silently seething. Ever since his name was announced he had been shooting her an eat shit grin and the two had been locked in a stare down ever since. Chloe noticed but before she had a chance to say anything Beca shoved up from her seat and darted across the lunch room towards him. He too stood, ready for a confrontation. Just as she was about to reach his table Jessie appeared in front of her, grabbing her by the waist when he tried to step by him.
"Beca don't." He said in her ear as was still locked with Tom. "It's not worth it." This brought her attention to Jesse. "Not here. I know he deserves a beat down, but right now you'd be the one who'd get in trouble."
"I don't care." She tried to move past him again but he held on tighter then Chloe stood in front of her.
"But I do." Chloe stood in front of her with her arms crossed. "You're not going to get in trouble for something stupid like this." She grabbed Beca's hands. "Who will take me to the dance if you get in trouble?" She asked trying to calm her girlfriend down. It seemed to work, or at least it did until Tom yelled from behind Chloe.
"Don't worry Chloe, I'll take you to the dance and show you a good time!" Chloe whipped around so fast.
"Sit down and shut the fuck up Tom!" She yelled bringing attention to some of the teachers.
"What's going on here?" One of them asked.
"Nothing. Come on Beca." Chloe said pulling Beca back towards the table.
"You should have just let me kick his ass in front of everyone." Beca said later that night lying on Chloe's bed.
"I didn't want you to get in trouble." Chloe turned on her side laying her head on Beca's shoulder and arm around her waist.
"I know, but he harasses you like all of the time. And I can't help but worry he'll try something like he pulled at the party a few months ago."
"I know you're concerned but just beating him up isn't going to do anything." Beca huffed rubbing her fingers along her girlfriend's arm.
"You're right."
"Of course I am silly." Chloe said leaning up on an elbow to look at Beca who just rolled her eyes and chuckled.
"I love you."
"I love you too." Chloe answered softly. They sat there for a few minutes just looking into each other's eyes. After a few minutes of silence Chloe spoke up. "Sooo?" She smiled playing with the hem of Beca's shirt.
"So?" Beca raised an eyebrow when Chloe's hand moved under her shirt moving north.
"So, we still haven't…you know…and we're alone." She explained moving her hand back down Beca's stomach causing her to shudder. She popped the button of Beca's jeans then ran her fingers back under her shirt. Beca's breathing had become swallow, her heart beating wildly in her chest. "Do you want to?" Not trusting her voice, Beca just nodded frantically. Chloe smiled at her cuteness. "Are you nervous?"
"A little. Are you?" Beca responded, moving her hand along Chloe's arm.
"Not as much as last time we tried this." She smiled leaning towards Beca who let out a breathy laugh as she cupped her girlfriend's face bringing her the rest of the way down. The kiss started out slowly, neither in a rush as they wanted to cherish the moment. Soon though things got heated and Chloe shifted to where she was on top of Beca, fitting between her legs. Beca's hands roamed over the soft skin at Chloe's back. Chloe's tongue at the roof of her mouth was doing things to Beca's sanity. She raised her hips at the same time Chloe moved hers down. Both moaned at the wonderful friction it caused. Chloe broke the kiss changed her position to where she was straddling the brunette. She locked eyes with Beca, and her hands went to the hem of her shirt slowly lifting it up. She never lost eye contact save for the moment the shirt was over her face. She tossed it on the floor and ran her fingers her hair. Beca ran her hands on Chloe's thighs.
"You are so beautiful." Beca whispered. Just as Chloe was leaning down to kiss her girlfriend again she heard the front door open and close.
"Chloe, dear, we're home!" Her mother yelled from the living room and Chloe bolted up from Beca.
"Shit!" She yelled quietly. Beca's eyes were wide as Chloe jumped up putting her shirt on and ran her fingers through her hair. "What are you doing? Get up!"
"What's the big deal babe? We weren't doing anything…yet." She smirked leaning on her elbows staring up on her girlfriend.
"It's not funny! They don't know-" Chloe started to say but shut up all of a sudden and turned her back from her girlfriend. This caused Beca to frown and get up off the bed.
"Do they know we're together?" Beca asked slowly standing behind Chloe. The redhead didn't say anything and just lowered her head. "Chlo, please answer me. Do your parents know about me?" She asked again and Chloe could hear the hurt in her voice. Chloe turned around with tears in her eyes looking at the brunette.
"Not yet." She went to grab Beca's hand trying to explain but the brunette pulled away.
"Don't." She said, walking towards and out the door.
"Becs wait!" Chloe chased after her only to see her parents greeting Beca at the bottom of the stairs. She couldn't tell what they were saying but she saw Beca shake each one of their hands. They all spotted the redhead about the same time.
"Oh, hi honey, we were just meeting your friend Beca." Her mother said to her as she continued down the stairs looking at Beca.
"Yeah, she just moved here this year. And actually she's m-"
"Well, it was really nice to meet you both but I have to get home." Beca interrupted as she sensed Chloe was getting ready to introduce her as more. Her parents said goodbye to her then she grabbed her jacket making her way out the door with Chloe following.
"Beca wait!" Chloe shut the door and ran after her. She caught up to her just as Beca opened the door to her truck. She grabbed her arm turning her around. "Beca I'm sorry! I just hadn't found the right time to tell them yet." She explained with pleading eyes. "I'll introduce you now, just come back inside." Beca could see that Chloe was trying now but she was hurt by the fact that her girlfriend of three months hasn't told her parents about her yet. It made her feel like her first girlfriend all over again, even though inside she knew Chloe wasn't like that.
"Not tonight Chlo. I want you to tell them because you want to…not because you feel guilty. I'll see you tomorrow." She said wiping a stray tear that escaped, then got into her truck without another word leaving a teary eyed Chloe in the dust.
