December 27th - Chloe
This is what vacation should feel like…
I woke up this morning wrapped up in the most comfortable, relaxed state I've ever felt. I was on my back and Beca had one arm resting across my stomach, the other was underneath my pillow and neck, holding me by the shoulder. She had one of her legs draped over mine, and her stomach was pressed against my side in the most delightful manner.
Well, needless to say this morning started much the same way that last night ended. Of course, it didn't last long. Beca was just starting to wake up and get into the swing of things when Bree pounded on the door and told me to get dressed because it was time to "get my heart rate up doing something less gross"…
She meant our morning run. I tried to convince Beca, but she didn't have any desire to get her heart rate up in that manner. In fact, she suggested that we keep going the way we had been and to hell with Bree, but I overrode her because I still have to live with the blond.
Funny thing happened on the run, too, saw Lily coming out of Stacie's sorority house… And she was fixing her hair up into a messy ponytail, and I'm fairly sure I can recognize sex-hair when I see it. Very curious…
Anyway, after the run Beca and I went back to planning for the dinner with her aunt and uncle. She had mentioned before I went out for my run that she had made plans to meet her Aunt Tricia and Uncle Zack for dinner tonight. I had volunteered the apartment for it, if she wanted. So we spent the day texting about it. She was reluctant at first, because I insisted that Bree be there for it, but I won her over.
Of course, that wasn't the only fight. Bree was definitely against the idea as well. She totally wasn't up for a meal with Beca. In fact, she had quite a few choice words about me starting up a relationship with her. But, in the end, I told her that who I did and did not sleep with was my business, and if she was truly my best friend, she'd support the decisions that made me happier than I've been since … well, in a long time.
She was quiet for a long time after that. I could tell that she was really thinking hard about stuff, so I got up to give her some time. I was looking through the cupboards figuring out what to make for dinner when she came in. I didn't say anything, kept my back to her, in fact. So she wrapped me up in a hug and whispered, "If she makes you happy, I'll make the effort."
Gotta admit, tears in my eyes at that… Then again, I'm a huge softie, I think we all know that.
Anyway, dinner went off spectacularly. Tricia and Zack are hilarious and kind of awesome, I can see why Becs looks up to them so much. Hell, even Bree had a good time, I think. I caught her and Beca sharing a grin at one point in time over some joke from the pair of them.
I'm glad we had a chance to hang out with them. It was shorter than I would have liked, but the time did seem to catch up to us. That or Trivial Pursuit was more entertaining than I had remembered. Then again, watching Beca and Bree going head to head was amusing. They may be making an effort to be friendly for me, but they're both very similar, and extremely competitive. Sadly Trivial Pursuit is one of Bree's strong points, and she was on form tonight too and probably would have won, except for Tricia. I can see where Becs got her skill at the game, because she barely managed to edge Bree out and win.
So, with as much fun as we had tonight I was thinking we should do it again. In fact, I'm thinking maybe we could go see a movie tomorrow, or maybe bowling or something. I'll bring it up to Becs… Speaking of Becs, she seems to be finished with her writing, and I think I need to put you down, old friend, and go join her in my extremely comfortable bed. Good night, diary.
