December 27th - Beca

Last night didn't go as planned at all, and I couldn't be happier for that. As I was heading in to Chloe's apartment I was singing "Hello, I Love You", it felt appropriate. How little did I know just how appropriate it was. I took Chloe's mail to her room as she had asked, and as I opened the door, my jaw dropped. There was Chloe. Wearing a bow, the necklace and the bracelet I had gotten her, and that's it. I froze in place, it was an amazing sight. It took some time to come back to myself, it felt like hours but I'm sure it wasn't any more than 30 seconds. She was missing me too apparently, so she decided to come back early. I think that says a lot about us. It didn't take long for me to join her on the bed and do away with the bow. Before we got too hot and heavy, I took a quick picture of us, just from the neck up, nothing revealing, and sent it to Casey telling her I wouldn't be at the party and then set my phone down. At some point, probably not long after, she texted back saying no worries and that she understood, but we had been too busy to care about the text.

Apparently at some point Aubrey came back. She hadn't been gone at all it was all just an elaborate ruse to get me there. But hey, it worked and got me happy fun time with Chloe, so I'm not complaining. I plan on spending as much time here as I can, I think I'd rather put up with Aubrey than Kimmy. When I get too sick of one, I can always switch places. Anyway this morning, again much much too early, Aubrey and Chloe got up to go running. They tried to talk me into it, but as tempting as it was, I declined. I decided to head back to Dad's where my stuff is. Before we parted ways, we came up with the idea to do a nice dinner at the apartment that night for Aunt Tricia and Uncle Zack. I texted back and forth with Aunt Tricia and they loved the idea.

When I got to Dad's, I asked him if it was ok if I spent more time at Chloe's. As he thought things over I could tell he was a bit conflicted, but he gave in saying "I did say I want you to make new friends and have college experiences." So I grabbed my laptop, my awesome new Surface, and some other stuff I'd need and headed over when I was sure they were back from their run. I just had enough stuff for a couple days, figured it best not to wear out my welcome too soon, especially considering how fond of me Aubrey is. Apparently Chloe and Aubrey saw Lily leaving Stacie's sorority this morning. I have a theory for that, maybe I'll talk to Chloe about it later…

We spent the day planning for dinner. Obviously it wasn't going to be anything fancy, just a casual thing. Once we decided on a meal, simple spaghetti and meatballs, with chocolate cake for dessert, we hit the grocery store to make sure we had everything we needed.

Eventually, my two favorite teachers in the world showed up and the five us had a great evening. Chloe had insisted Aubrey stay too, to give us the chance to get to know each other better. The blond really does care for Chloe, so she relented. We actually got along fairly well. I mean not best friends or anything, but we were civil, for the Devil Woman.

Aunt Tricia and Uncle Zack definitely approve of Chloe, and she seemed to like them as well. After dinner, we all played Trivial Pursuit. It was a hard fought match, but eventually Aunt Tricia came away with the win, just barely over Aubrey. Eventually though, it was time for them to head out, and that wasn't long before I started writing this and Chloe started hers. Anyway, I'm kinda tired gonna head off and wait for her to join me.
