December 28th - Chloe
You know something, diary? I just love surprising Becs with things. It's so much fun.
So, like I had said yesterday, Beca and I decided to do a thing with her aunt and uncle. I suggested going to We Bought A Zoo, and she quite literally choked on her coffee. It was quite hilarious. I didn't mean it by any stretch of the imagination, I know very well of Becs' hatred of anything movie related. So, yeah, was getting a rise out of her. And it worked fantastically.
Anyway, my real suggestion was to do a campus tour. I know they're both teachers, but every school is different, and Barden does have a rather beautiful campus. She jumped at the idea, I think if nothing else to get away from the movie idea, and that was also part of my devious master plan. MUAHAHAHAHA!
*coughs* Sorry, evil laugh sneaks out at the worst of times.
So, the real plan, which I had checked with Tricia and Zack about, and even had a few of the Bellas help with the setup, they were all rather excited to help me pull the wool over Beca's eyes, was a picnic. I know, doesn't sound that awesome with all the wonderful, grandiose things in the world. But, well, I want to go on picnics with Beca, and walk along beaches, and hold her hand underneath an elm tree as the sun sets in front of us… It's who I am, and you shouldn't be surprised, my friend.
Of course, that was an afternoon thing, and something kind of interesting happened this morning that I feel I ought to touch on. Especially because I need a little help from you, and surprisingly enough Beca consulted her diary as well, but we eventually got a few things straightened out, as it were. I had mentioned to Beca yesterday about seeing Lily by Stacie's sorority house, and that sparked an interesting conversation this morning after Becs had flipped through her diary a little bit. Seems we've been seeing Stacie around campus a lot this month, and not in places we'd normally expect her.
Between the two of us, I think we've seen Stacie near nearly every one of the Bellas' dorms or houses. A curious thought, eh? Of course, that made me think back to the chat that the vixen had had with me a couple of weeks back about Beca. Well, turns out that Beca had had a similar chat with Stacie. Comparing notes it seems like she was basically under the impression that we were already a thing, or at least was trying to sort out if we were.
Beca pointed out, as we were mulling over the possibilities there, that the only person, aside from the two of us, who had been exempted from that list, was Aubrey. Becs said she saw Stacie in Bree's room the morning after we, well, hooked up for the first time. But she was damned near certain that both girls were fully clothed, and even stranger that Stacie was on top of the comforter.
Anyway, the campus tour was a blast. I've been in love with this school for four years now, and I think that, despite her hard-as-nails, badass, tough-girl exterior Beca really likes this place too. She was super comfortable around her aunt and uncle. Comfortable in ways that I've only ever really seen her around me, which made me smile and hold her hand whenever I thought about it. So we spent a lot of tour arm in arm and holding hands. Of course, that's kind of standard now for us it seems, even before we became a couple.
Ooooh, speaking of that. I think we ought to sit down and have a little chat about that. Well, it can wait until tomorrow.
Sorry, distracted myself. Tour went great. Tricia and Zack were great guests and seemed to have a good time even though it was a little chilly out. At least the sun was shining.
As for the picnic, well, the Bellas came through with flying colors. When we came around out of Greek Row and were heading back towards the quad we passed the lake, and BAM! Picnic basket!
It was like a ninja move! It was awesome. Beca saw it, her jaw dropped a little, and then she turned to me with a glare that didn't hide how much she loved it. All four of us plopped down right there on the grass, I hit play on the little radio that the girls had setup with my mp3 player already set on Beca's playlist, and we had a great meal. It was so awesome. Best part, I think I saw her tear up when we opened up the basket and she pulled out the bag of gummy bears I'd bought for her. Yes, I remembered the gummy bears bit from her diary.
Tricia and Zack told me, later, how sweet they thought it was, and how they were gonna tell Beca that I was "definitely a keeper." So that's extra bonus points for me, yay!
Anyway, I think I want to go snuggle up with my lady who, as always, has finished writing before me. Silly girl, I need to work on her diary entries, they're so plain… Speaking of her diary, she seems to have it with her in bed, that's a bit odd…
Anyway, until tomorrow, my dear friend!
