Good Or Bad Luck: Chapter 37
The three couples are spread across the living room. Aubrey and Stacie laying on the couch so both could be comfortable since the blonde is still paralyzed. Beca and Chloe are curled up on the loveseat with a blanket draped over them. While Emily and Benji are sitting up against the couch, Benji having draped his arm around his girlfriend. Once in a while he presses a soft kiss on her temple, thinking that no one sees it. But boy is he wrong. The two other couples shoot each other coy smiles and continue to watch the movie.
Once the end credits start rolling Benji lets out a heavy yawn, Chloe nuzzles her nose on the crook of Beca's neck and Aubrey stretches her arms while Stacie gives her a tight hug from behind. Beca is the first to speak up. "Do you guys want some tea?" Chloe lets out a grunt, knowing that Beca would have to move to do that and she does not want that. "We're fine, how about you two down here?" Aubrey says looking down over the side of the couch. "I'm ok." The youngest couple chimes at the same time. Their cuteness factor increasing in double fold.
"I think it's time for us to head home." Stacie says getting up and bending down again to pick her girlfriend up. "Do you need a ride, Benji?" She asks once Aubrey's in her wheelchair. "Oh yeah that'd be great, Beca picked me up this morning." Chloe nudges Beca in her side and cocks her head towards the boy. "Actually we need to do some more moving tomorrow and we were thinking that, if you don't mind taking the couch, you could stay here." Benji's eyes light up and Emily's smile grows brighter. "Yeah no, of course the couch is great."
Beca tries to sit up but get pushed back down by Chloe's weight. "Uhmpff ok Chloe we need to get up." The redhead lets out an adorable whine which makes everyone but Beca laugh. "If you let me get up I'll carry you to the room." Beca whispers so only her girlfriend can hear it. Immediately she's allowed to get up. "I don't know what you told her but you'll need to teach me." Stacie jokes with an added wink. "No chance Conrad." Beca walks over to her best friend and gives her a hug and then leans down to hug Aubrey.
While the youngster say goodbye Beca watches Chloe's eyes fall shut and not reopening again. The redhead was out cold for the night and she looked adorable. So she points at Chloe and then at the bedroom door before whispering. "I'll be right back." She walks over to her girlfriend and picks her up bridle style and carries her to the bedroom. Chloe lets out another cute whine when Beca lets her go. "I'll be here soon baby, I'm just going to say goodbye and get Benji settled."
"…ine… ome… ack sooo…" Beca shakes her head with a smile. "Are you going to get dressed?" The light snore coming from Chloe answers that question really quick so she makes her way out to the living room. "Ok, so Chloe is out like a light." Aubrey lets out a laugh. "Yeah that happens when she's happy after a movie. Don't take it personally." Beca rolls her eyes playfully. "Alright, I really like you and all but I want to join my girlfriend in dream world so if you two finally head to bed and you two leave and do whatever you two do when you're alone. Just drive carefully."
Stacie punches her best friend in the arm. "Way to be sentimental Mitchell… but yeah we should head out. Goodnight everyone." With a wave and a smile the two disappear, leaving Beca lone with the two younglings. "Ok I'm going to set up the co-" Benji cuts his cousin off. "Becs go to bed, I got this." The older brunette lets out a sigh. "I know, I guess it's just me wanting to take care of you." Benji grabs Beca by her shoulders and pushes her towards her bedroom. "I know, now go to bed. Goodnight Becs."
The next thing Beca knows is being back in her room, looking down at a sleeping Chloe. The brunette takes out a pair of sleeping short and a t-shirt before undressing the redhead and dressing her again. Once Chloe is settled Beca gets changed herself. She then quietly settles next to her girlfriend and spoons her, whispering a soft 'goodnight' and pressing a gentle kiss in her hair. Soon sleep takes over.
The next morning Beca wakes up with a numb arm and red hair spread across her face. Yet it can't dampen her mood. She woke next to her gorgeous girlfriend so her day definitely started great. But she has to get up so she can prepare some breakfast for the full house. Oh God… For the first time dawned on her that her apartment is filled with lots of life and for once everyone is happy. Best day ever! Beca carefully pulls her arm from underneath Chloe and rolls out of bed. She steals one more glance at the beautiful redhead before slowly backing out of the room and closing the door behind her.
In the living room she's met by an adorable sight. Benji and Emily both fell asleep in the living room. Emily on the couch, laying on her stomach and her left hand dangling of the edge holding Benji's hand who's laying on the floor. They must have fallen asleep while talking. Beca thinks to herself. She tiptoes back to her room to take her phone and goes back to take a picture. Once the picture is taken the brunette goes to the kitchen and starts preparing a huge family breakfast. One her mom used to make every Sunday when she was little.
An hour later Beca is ready to feed an army. She has made pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon. She brewed a fresh pot of coffee and is now ready to wake up the rest. When she walks into the living room she finds that everyone has woken up and is sitting on the couch. "Morning Becs." Chloe's chipper voice is the first thing the brunette registers and before she knows it she's being wrapped in a tight hug. "I missed you when I woke up." Chloe whispers.
"Hey B what have you been cooking for the past hour?" Benji asks with a grin. "Help me get everything out here kiddo and you'll see." Beca says while cocking her head to the kitchen. The young boy instantly shoots up and runs to the kitchen. A loud 'Yeah!' can be heard seconds later and Beca lets out a laugh. "I'll take out the plates, can you two set up the table? I need to make sure some food is left." She jokes. She kisses the tip of her girlfriend's nose before leaving, earning a high pitched 'aawww' from Emily.
Chloe rolls her eyes with a smile. "Let's help them out, I'm pretty curious about what Beca prepared." As they both want to enter the kitchen they get stopped by Beca. "Take the plates and set them out on the table, and you take the knives and forks, Em." Beca gives all the necessities and turns back around. A few minutes later Beca walks out with 3 plates and Benji follows with another plate and the coffee. "Breakfast is served." Benji announces when all the plates are set on the table.
"Hey when can you two go into the studio and start recording?" Chloe asks before taking another bite from her waffle. "That's all up to Emily, we need to figure out some things but we're almost ready, I think." Emily nods her head. "Yes, uhm I've been working on the lyrics and I think we can start recording." Chloe smiles and nods her head. "That's great, I can set up a studio for you two tomorrow morning. Is that alright for you?" Beca agrees and so does Emily. "Great, I can't wait to hear it."
"Beca this was an amazing breakfast." Chloe says leaning in to peck the brunette on her cheek. "Thanks Chlo, glad you all enjoyed it. We'll need our energy to do the rest of the move today." Beca starts clearing off the table but gets stopped by Chloe. "Babe, you did the cooking so you're going to let us do the dishes." The brunette wants to argue but gets shushed instantly. "Actually, why don't you both go and get ready while Benji and I clean up?" Emily offers with a gentle smile. "Since we fell asleep talking we never changed out of our clothes so we don't need as much time. And it's the least I can do for all you guys help."
Chloe jumps up and hugs Emily from behind before dragging Beca towards the bedroom. Ever since the redhead woke up she felt so guilty that she fell asleep after the movie. That only ever happened if she was completely relaxed and happy. And last night ad been the first time in while she had felt that happy. And right now the only thought on her mind is How do I make it up to her. Beca is the most caring person she as ever met. She's always ready to help others and wants nothing in return and maybe it's time that she gets the recognition she deserves.
The redhead walks into the bedroom and finds Beca sitting on the edge of her bed, already changed into her jeans and putting on socks. Chloe walks up to her and goes to straddle the brunette's thighs, catching her of guard. "B-baby? What uh what are yo-" Beca gets shushed and her lips get covered by her girlfriend's. Beca wraps her arms around Chloe's waist while Chloe tangles her fingers in the brown locks that belong to Beca.
Their breathing becomes heavy and their kisses more passionate. If it wasn't for the knock on Beca's door this might have gotten more heated. "B, Emily and I are ready when you are." Beca breaks the kiss and take a moment to catch her breath. "Y-yeah, we'll be uhm out in a minute." She hears Benji mutter an 'alright' and then silence fills the room except for the heavy breathing. Chloe has left her head to rest on Beca's shoulder, trying to hold in her laughter.
"Alright Beale, what did I do to deserve this." Beca asks in a raspy voice that send chills down Chloe's spine. "You just… being you." Beca chuckles at the answer and turns her slightly so she can press her lips against her girlfriend's temple. "If you say so. But we do need to get going so if you'd kindly get off my lap?" With a groan and fake pout Chloe does as told. "Hey Chlo?" Beca stops the redhead from walking by grabbing her arm and standing up making them stand really close to each other.
"Yes Becs?" Chloe whispers back looking into Beca's eyes. "Maybe, you know if you want to of course, you can stay here? I mean tonight?" The corners of Chloe's lips curl up into a sweet smile. "I'd really like that, but do you think we could maybe pick up some things? Like pajama's and a toothbrush?" Beca takes a step back and walks over to the bedside table on the side where Chloe slept. "I uhm might have thought of that?" She carefully says while pulling open the top drawer. She pulls something out of it and slowly turns around.
Slowly the brunette reveals a packed toothbrush with a worried expression clouding her face. An emotion that definitely wasn't necessary. Chloe lunges forward and almost slams Beca into the bedside table. Thank god the brunette has good balance and holds them both up. The redhead has a death grip on Beca's neck. "I'm going to assume by the lack of oxygen that you don't mind?" Chloe's grip loosens a bit and she leans back and aligns their faces so their noses brush against each other. "You have no idea."
"I hope it's not weird or something?" Chloe shakes her head. "No, it's perfect, it's a new step in our relationship." Beca nods her head. "I was actually thinking of taking it a step further but maybe it's to soon?" Chloe raises her brow. "I actually emptied some space in my closet for you, if you want you can leave some things here?" Chloe's stops breathing for just a second. "I mean we've been dating for 5 months and I-" The brunette gets cut off by a gentle kiss. "I'd really like that Beca."
The two hug each other for a few minutes, both on a high of taking a huge step in their relationship. This step makes Chloe even more sure of the fact of how in love she is with the brunette.
