It was midday the following day, and Beca and Chloe were cuddled up together on the sofa in Aubrey and Chloe's flat. Beca was engrossed with the programme on the TV, whilst Chloe watched her girlfriend, her hands finding the brunette's waist and pulling her closer.
Aubrey had gone out with Amy for a coffee, so it was just the two of them. Beca smiled as she felt her girlfriend's hands wrap around her waist, and turned to face her. "Have you thought any more about Aubrey?" she asked, turning the volume down on the TV.
Chloe grinned warmly at Beca, replying, "Yes, I have. I really like her." Beca quirked her eyebrow, smirking, "You sure you just like her?"
"Fine, I love her." Chloe admitted, waggling her pink tongue at the brunette and then mumbling, "So what are we going to do?"
Beca shrugged her slightly burnt shoulders, responding, "Tonight the three of us can sit and have a chat, and figure something out. If I am wrong about Aubrey, then I'm sure she'll be fine about the fact that we love her, just a little shocked. But trust me, I'm pretty certain she does have a thing for us." Chloe nodded, and switched the TV off, getting up off the sofa.
"Come on babe, lets go for a walk, seeing as the weather is lovely!" She beamed, and Beca grumbled, "Hey! I was watching that." She buried her head under the sofa's cushions and groaned. Chloe giggled, pulling her girlfriend off the sofa. "Too bad, lazy. We are going out and that's final!" Chloe chuckled, but spoke firmly. Beca gave in, mumbling, "I hate you."
Chloe smacked her arse lightly, waggling her eyebrows and whispered seductively, "I'll make it up to you when we get back.."
"Now that's more like it!" Beca declared, practically sprinting out of the dorm. Chloe followed her out, laughing softly. She couldn't wait for tonight, she needed to find out if Aubrey did love her. Her own feelings for the blonde were progressing rapidly, and she found herself deeply in love. She loved Beca with all her heart, and now she realised that she loved Aubrey too, just as much.
...
The blondes sat in the local coffee shop they usually went to, both sipping their steaming coffees. Amy smirked, "Have you thought about what your going to do tomorrow?" Aubrey gasped, remembering that it was valentines day the next day. "Shit!" She exclaimed, "I know what I'm going to do, but I'm getting it ready tomorrow."
Amy shot the blonde a small smile, her eyes gleaming, "What are you going to do?" Aubrey sighed, chuckling, "Your'll have to wait until after I've done it." Amy pouted, muttering, "Tell me now Aubby, I'm not afraid to tickle you again."
"Don't you even dare, unless you want me to blow chunks all over you!" Aubrey laughed, and Amy edged over in the wooden seat, backing away from Aubrey. But the insistent blonde wouldn't give up. "Tell me, please!" She pleaded, giving the blonde another smile that would make Tasmania proud.
The taller blonde sighed defeatively, and leaned over her seat so she could whisper in her friend's ear. After she had finished telling her, the australian blonde eyes widened and she burst out, "Oh Aub! What a great idea." Aubrey smirked playfully at her, but bit down on her lip sharply. Her nerves were kicking in, but she would try her best to go through with her idea.
...
Beca and Chloe had gone for a nice walk together around Barden University, and were now lying down on the grass around the university. This time, Beca had decided not to take her headphones, so instead she had her full attention on Chloe, who was sat cross-legged next to her, fiddling with something in her hands.
"What's that?" Beca asked, sitting up and her arms cocooning Chloe in a tight hug from behind. Chloe lifted the object in her hands, passing it to Beca. Beca took it, grinning. It was a daisy chain that Chloe had made, the white flowers glowing in the sunlight. The auburn carefully took it back, then gently wrapped the daisy chain around Beca's wrist, knotting the stems together so it formed a bracelet.
"It's beautiful." Beca gasped, her heart fluttering with love. Chloe took the brunette's hand, entwining their fingers and pointed out, "Like you." Beca grasped Chloe, kissing her tender and lovingly, her fingers running along the auburn's shoulders, stroking the fabric of her shirt.
Chloe pulled away slightly, then nestled her head into her girlfriend's chest, and Beca spoke softly but eagerly, "Can we go back so you can make it up to me now? Seeing as you dragged me out here."
Chloe giggled cutely, shoving the other woman lightly, "You enjoyed it really!" Beca pecked the older woman's cheek, mumbling, "I guess so." Chloe stood up, her crystal-like blue eyes darkening to deep sea blue with lust, but mostly love as she growled, "My dorm. Now."
Beca didn't need to be told twice, she shot up, her arm immediately curling around Chloe's petite waist as they walked off together at a quickish pase.
On there way back, they went past the coffee shop Aubrey and Amy was in, both of them spotting the two blondes as they chatted and sipped their coffees. "She's beautiful too." Beca confided to Chloe, and the auburn smiled, "Yeah, she is. And I've been stupid enough not to notice for the past five and a half years."
"Chlo, if you did, we probably wouldn't be together, as you would have gotten with her a long time ago. In most ways, I'm glad you didn't realise until now."
Beca was right. Chloe would probably be in a long term relationship with her best friend if she had actually paid attention to her, and even though that would have been a great thing, she was glad it hadn't happened too. She had Beca, and hopefully she would be able to express her love for Aubrey too.
...
The day dragged on and on, and by now it was just past six in the evening. Aubrey had entered the dorm, humming another one of her favourite songs. She strolled into the living room, dropping her bag on the coffee table. Beca and Chloe were both sat together on the sofa, their hands clasped together. Their joined palms were sweating with nerves and shaking slightly.
"Hey girls," Aubrey greeted them brightly, smiling warmly down at them. God, they look so fucking adorable. I must get out of here. Before she could hurry into her bedroom, Chloe patted the space on the sofa next to her, "Sit down Bree."
Aubrey picked up on the way Chloe had spoken, nervous, and quite urgent. Aubrey sat down next to them, and noticed the way the two women were sitting, legs crossed and their eyes avoiding the blonde's gaze, and also their faces looked very pale and faint. Aubrey patted Chloe's shoulder, concerned as she asked, "Hey what's up?"
Beca looked at the blonde for a split second, her voice trembling, "We need to talk to you."
Aubrey raised her eyebrows in confusion, and Chloe exhaled heavily before speaking, "We need to ask you something important. We want to know whether you like us?" Chloe cringed inwardly, knowing that what she had said sounded pathetic.
"Of course I like you both, your my best friends! Even though me and Beca have some differences and don't always get along, I still like her!" Aubrey replied, and Beca whispered so quietly Aubrey could only just catch it, "But do you love us? Like love us."
Aubrey gasped, and she stood up abruptly, running into her bedroom and slamming the door shut. She flopped onto her bed, tucking her knees up to her chest and mumbling to herself; Fuck fuck fuck. They know. Now they are going to hate me. Shit. Aubrey, your such a fuck up. Trust you to make it so blatantly obvious.
Hot tears ebbed at her eyes and escaped, cascading down her cheeks, her mascara running. Sobs rakked her body, causing her to shudder and her eyes squeezed shut, wishing it was all just a stupid nightmare. She wanted them to know, but she wanted to tell them herself. She felt completely bewildered. Tomorrow's idea was not to happen, then.
From the other room, Beca and Chloe were pressed up against Aubrey's door, talking in hushed voices to each other. "By that reaction, I'm guessing she does." Chloe breathed out, and she smiled, though she was still terrified that her best friend might push her away. "Yeah, come on. We need to go to her, she needs us." Beca whispered, and they opened the door slightly, their hearts aching at the sight of Aubrey sobbing into her covers.
The two rushed over to her, getting onto the bed. Chloe scooped Aubrey into her arms, rocking her gently. Beca took the blonde's small hand in her own, putting an arm around her.
Aubrey sank into the embrace, as much as she wanted to push them away and scream at them to leave her alone, she couldn't. She needed them. More than she ever thought she did. She wiped her sodden eyes, covering her face in her hands and choked out, "I'm s-sorry."
Chloe grabbed both of her hands, pulling them away from her face. Both women looked deep into her green orbs and Chloe said softly, "Don't be sorry, I want to know how you feel. Please Aubrey, you can tell us."
Aubrey gulped back the tears that were begging to fall, and murmured to them both, "I feel horrible. I should have told you at the start Chloe. Since knowing you, it has been the happiest time of my life. Having you there. Always comforting me, and you helped me when I got disowned by my family after I came out to them. You helped me through my self harm, and I knew as long as I had you in my life I could carry on. You showed me how to care Chloe, I used to be a ignorant brat, an uptight bitch and I knew it, but I was scared of letting my defenses down. But you, you fought your way into my life, and we bonded from the moment we met. I have to tell you that I am in love with you Chlo, I love you more than a best friend should. I know you have Beca, and I'm sorry you had to find out now. And Beca, I know we used to bicker all the time, and always disagreed, but it kept me at a distance where I couldn't get too close to you and develope further feelings for you. It didn't work, as your stubborn self still managed to wheedle into my life, my feelings rapidly developed. I love you Beca, and you too Chloe. I'm so sorry, I know you both hate me now..I just couldn't hide this anymore, It hurts to keep it to myself. I hope you understand."
By the end of it, both Chloe and Beca had tears streaming down their faces, as they clung to the blonde, her truthful words sinking into their heads. Aubrey stroked away the tears on Beca and Chloe's cheeks, and she held them as tight as she could, fearing that they would push her away and never talk to her again.
Chloe calmed down, her sobs quietening as she replied in a soft tone, tears prickling her eyelashes, "Oh Aubrey, we don't hate you. I should be the one saying sorry, for not realising that you had feelings for me in the first place. Beca and me both noticed the way you acted towards us lately, and we had a few suspicions. Don't cry babe, we are here and we aren't leaving you, ever. And we understand, because we love you too."
Beca nodded, and Aubrey gasped, new tears rolling down her cheeks as she sniffed, "You both love me?" They both nodded again, and Aubrey felt her heart skip a beat. Her heart felt as though it had been mended, and all she wanted was to stay in their arms forever. Beca spoke up, "Aubrey, Would you like to be mine and Chloe's girlfriend?" Aubrey was speechless, she couldn't even get any words out of her mouth, so she nodded her head so eagerly that it hurt. She cleared her throat, managing to croak out, "Yes."
They all smiled at each other, wiping their damp eyes. Before Aubrey could even blink, Chloe had snaked her arm around her neck, kissing her softly. Beca hands ran through the blonde's hair as she kissed along the back of Chloe's neck. Chloe's tongue traced over Aubrey's lip hungrily, Aubrey whimpering and letting the auburn's tongue tangle with her own.
Chloe pushed Aubrey gently so she was lying on the bed, and straddled her, trailing kisses down the blonde's neck, nipping and sucking at her pulse point, causing a low moan to escape Aubrey's lips.
Beca leant in, catching Aubrey's lips with her own, her tongue skimming along the older woman's bottom lip and she let the brunette's tongue roam her mouth. Aubrey's hands meandered through Chloe's auburn curls, as she returned Beca's kiss. The kiss ended, Chloe pulling Beca's lips to her own, and the brunette removed Chloe's shirt, revealing her black lace bra, Aubrey growling in passion.
The rest of their clothes were slowly removed, and they made love tenderly, taking their time. Once they had finished, the three women were panting breathlessly under the covers, holding each other in their arms. Aubrey lay in the middle, Beca's arms wrapped around her waist and pressed against her back, planting kisses down her spine. Chloe's hands found Beca's as they wrapped them around Aubrey. Chloe snuggled into the crook of the older Bellas neck, sighing, "I love you Aubrey Posen and Beca Mitchell."
"I love you too Chloe Beale and Aubrey Posen," Beca replied her voice muffled against the blonde's back as she continued pressing her soft lips against her. Aubrey closed her eyes, smiling as she panted, "I love you aswell, Chloe Beale and Beca Mitchell."
The three were safe in each other's arms, all of them content and exhausted. Aubrey fell asleep last, she looked from Beca to Chloe, admiring their sleeping forms, their sweat covered bodies tangled with her own. She herself fell asleep, feeling the happiest she had ever been in years.
Whoomp, there it is! Don't worry, this isn't the end yet! x
