Chapter 19: Highway 101

The next morning, Beca and Chloe put their bags in the brunette's old Subaru Outback. They said goodbye to their families then got on the road around 8:00. Beca drove, her hand resting on Chloe's knee once they got on the interstate headed south out of Seattle. "How did you sleep last night? I know you're not the world's biggest fan of getting up early," the brunette commented with a chuckle.

"You're right about that, but I actually didn't have any trouble waking up today," Chloe replied with a smile.

"And why is that?" Beca asked.

"Because it means our road trip is officially starting. Just the two of us, heading down to LA, showing you my hometown..." Chloe trailed off.

"It's exciting, isn't it? Another adventure to add to the list," Beca stated, smiling back at the redhead.

"Can I pick some music, babe?" Chloe asked.

"Sure, pick whatever you want," Beca said, running her hand along Chloe's thigh as she drove down the interstate.

Chloe plugged the aux cord into her phone and began swiping through her music. "What are you in the mood for?"

"Hmm. How about some Lord Huron? I haven't listened to them in a while, and they're good driving music," Beca commented.

"They're also good to make out to if I remember correctly," Chloe mentioned suggestively.

Beca chuckled at Chloe's comment. "Yeah, they are. We can make out to them later if you're up for it," she offered.

"I'd love to," Chloe replied, biting her lip softly. "So, how far are we driving today?" She asked.

"Well, Portland is three or four hours away depending on which route we take," Beca started. "I was thinking maybe we could take a little detour to Mount Rainier National Park? We could stop at a store along the way and get some stuff for a picnic," she finished.

"That sounds lovely. I've always wanted to see Mount Rainier," Chloe said, smiling down at Beca's hand on her thigh.

"Me too. I somehow haven't been there yet even though I've lived less than two hours away my whole life," Beca said. "Are there any other places you want to explore? We can go wherever you want."

"When we get to Portland, I'll show around some of my favorite spots. There's this one lookout place that has the most beautiful view of sunsets," Chloe mentioned, pressing play on a Lord Huron album before setting her phone down.

They were almost at Mount Rainier National Park two hours later. Beca had exited the highway early so they could go to a grocery store and pick out some food for their picnic. "Are you hungry for lunch yet? We can eat first and go for a hike after, or go for a hike first and eat after."

"Let's hike first and work up an appetite, then we can have our little picnic," Chloe said, grabbing her phone. "What sort of stuff should we pick out for the picnic?"

"I think we should definitely get some sort of fruit, maybe a bunch of bananas," Beca said, locking the car doors once Chloe had gotten out of the car.

Chloe started a note on her phone and wrote down bananas along with other stuff like carrots, cheese and crackers. She also wrote down sparkling cider. "Let's save the cider for when we're at the lookout later."

"That's cool with me." They headed inside the store, Beca grabbing a basket while Chloe started looking for the items on her list.

As she looked on the list, Chloe looked at Beca's promise ring on her finger and smiled. "Do you want to grab a blanket for us to set up the picnic on?"

"I should have a blanket in the car. Do you want me to go check real quick?" Beca asked.

"Yes, please," Chloe said. "I'll look for the food in the meantime."

Once Chloe paid for their groceries, they headed to Mount Rainier. Once they had parked the car in the visitor lot, Beca got their hiking backpacks out and Chloe put the food in the cooler. "Alright, shall we?" Beca asked, putting her phone in one of her backpack's pockets.

"We shall," Chloe said with a little giggle. She put her phone in her backpack as well, then made sure her shoes were tied before they set out for the trail.

Beca made sure to put her Polaroid camera in her backpack so she could take photos of Chloe while they hiked. She had also packed a jacket in case one of them got cold. "This place sure is beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you," Chloe said, blowing Beca a kiss when the brunette turned to look at her.

"You're so weird," Beca chuckled, shaking her head at the redhead as they continued walking up the trail.

Chloe shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not wrong though," she argued playfully.

"If you say so, love," Beca smirked, nudging Chloe before looking around at the forest. "If you ask me, with the exception of you, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

"Same here. I've never seen anything like this before," Chloe said, looking up at the tops of the tall trees above them.

Once they had walked for half an hour or so, they came upon an opening where you could see Mount Rainier. "Chlo, can I take your picture?"

"Of course." Chloe found a good spot of the opening to stand in and waited to pose until Beca was ready to take the picture.

First, Beca took a couple photos with her phone; then she took out her Polaroid and walked over to Chloe. "Now for your close up," she said, smiling brightly when Chloe ran a hand through her hair. Beca pressed the button, knowing she got the perfect shot.

"Can I take a few pictures of you now?" Chloe asked, leaning in and kissing the tip of Beca's nose.

"Yeah," the singer then lended her camera to Chloe. "How should I pose?" She asked, playfully posing like a model from Victoria's Secret.

"Just like that," Chloe laughed as she snapped a couple flicks. "Now act natural, I want to get a candid photo."

Beca then stood with her hands in her pockets, and gave Chloe a soft smile. "Is that good?" She asked awkwardly. The young girl didn't consider herself to be particularly photogenic.

"That's great, Becs. You look amazing," Chloe murmured back, focusing on getting the perfect shot of the brunette.

They continued to hike for another hour and a half before getting to the top, seeing Mount Rainier in all its glory. "Woah," Chloe said in amazement.

"It's even more majestic than I imagined," Beca breathed out, astonished at the view in front of them.

Chloe took a couple photos of the mountain. "Thank you for bringing me here," she took Beca's hand in hers.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to come here with anyone else," Beca replied, squeezing Chloe's hand gently.

"Me either," Chloe then wrapped her arms around Beca's waist. "This already is one of the best days of my life."

"Really?" Beca asked, feeling a big smile tug at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm in the most beautiful place I've ever been, with my favorite person in the world. So, yeah it is," Chloe explained. She pulled Beca close to her, leaning her forehead against Beca's as the brunette wrapped her arms around Chloe's shoulders.

Beca closed her eyes and sighed happily as they stood there together. She then moved her head to the side so she could embrace Chloe tightly. "I love you," she whispered. "I love this moment. I know that it's been a rough go for a while now, but…." she paused and took a deep breath. "I never would have appreciated this moment like I am now if I hadn't gone through all that shit. And thanks to my family, my friends...and you, the love of my life, I am finally starting to feel like myself again. Thank you."

Tears of joy welled up in Chloe's eyes as Beca gave her little speech. "I love you too, Beca. I'm so happy you're finally coming back. I missed you so much," she said, hugging her back just as tight.

Beca kissed Chloe's forehead. "I'm never going to be able to repay you for everything done. I know there will still be bad days, but because of you I know I'll be okay."

"You're really trying to make me cry, aren't you?" Chloe said with a giggle before wiping a couple tears away.

"I'm just being honest," Beca replied, laughing along with Chloe even though she felt tears pricking at her eyes too.

"Okay," Chloe took a deep breath and smiled as a couple more tears fell. "Should we head back, or can I kiss you first?"

"Is that even a question? Of course you can kiss me first," Beca said, wiping away some of Chloe's stray tears with her thumb.

The redhead then pulled her girlfriend Inde a kiss. It wasn't anything over the top; it was just a sweet, deep, loving kiss. When Chloe pulled away, she smiled. "Every minute of every day, I fall even more in love with you."

"That's a good thing, because you're never getting rid of me," Beca joked. "But I can say the same thing about you," she added on a more serious note.

Their hike down didn't take as much as time as their hike up. Beca set up the blanket and Chloe got the food out. "Did we get napkins?" Beca asked.

"Yup, they're right here," Chloe said as she reached into one of the bags.

"Great, I didn't remember if we grabbed them at the store." Beca then sat down on the blanket. She had picked a nice, flat spot that overlooked the valley at the base of the mountain. The two girls then set up the food on the blanket, making sure they had everything. "Can I get you something to drink?"

"Ooh, what do you have?" Chloe asked cutely.

"Well, the sparkling cider is for later, but we have water, apple juice, orange juice...and some milk. Take your pick," Beca said.

"Hmm, orange juice, please," Chloe requested.

"One orange juice coming right up," Beca answered with an enthusiastic smile. She then poured the juice in a cup and handed it to Chloe.

The redhead took a sip and let out a satisfied sigh afterwards. "Mmm, delicious."

"So, we've spent some time at Rainier, would you ever want to come back and visit?" Beca asked, pouring some water for herself.

"Oh definitely, this place is so cool," Chloe said, nodding her head quickly. She then took out a strawberry and reached over to Beca. "Open up, babe," She said sweetly.

Beca turned away from Chloe at first, making the redhead reach over and try to make her open her mouth. The brunette then cooperated, laughing as she ate the strawberry. "Yummy," she hummed.

Chloe then took a bite of the strawberry as well, winking Beca's way. "Mmmm, you're right. That is yummy."

"You should know that your winks are one of my many weaknesses," Beca said, playfully glaring. "That and you seductively taking a bite of food."

"Maybe that was the idea," Chloe joked before grabbing another strawberry.

"Are you hinting at something, Beale?" Beca asked, her glare turning into a smirk.

"No, not at all," Chloe teased before sipping her water. "I'm just giving you a little preview for later," she added, getting Beca's full attention now.

"Oh yeah? How so?"

Chloe shrugged her shoulders. "You'll have to wait and see," she replied, throwing in another wink at the end of her sentence.

"You're such a tease."

Later that evening, the two girls reached Portland. They were currently talking to Beca's parents over bluetooth. "Yeah, we've had a good day. Mount Rainier is gorgeous," Chloe said.

"Where are you girls at now?" Jacob asked.

"We just got into Portland, Dad," Beca answered. "Right on time too, because the sun is going to set soon and there's a lookout place Chloe wants to take me to," she added.

"Ahh, well no funny business you two," Cala said.

"My god, mom," Beca said, shaking her head. "Get your mind out of the gutter." She then winked Chloe suggestively.

"Oh, I'm just messing with you," Cala said with a laugh.

"Mmhm. I've heard that one before," Beca said, laughing along with her mom. "We'll text you once we've checked into our hotel."

"Alright, love you Beca. Talk to you girls later," Jacob said.

Once the call was over, Beca turned to Chloe. "She really said 'no funny business. Little does she know…" The brunette trailed off. She brought her hands to Chloe's thigh as she drove, smiling when the redhead rested her hand on top.

"Little does she know," Chloe repeated with a chuckle before looking around her. "Gosh, I don't think I've been back here since I moved to Seattle all those years ago."

"What's your favorite thing about this city?" Beca asked curiously.

"The never ending forests that surround it. I spent the first seventeen years of my life going on hikes with my parents," Chloe said, smiling as she looked around her hometown. "The river that flows through the city is just a beautiful sight, plus the food scene here is amazing. I honestly don't know if I can pick just one thing."

"You'll have to show me all your favorite things, then. We can stay here and explore as long as you want to," Beca said, tucking a couple stray pieces of red hair behind Chloe's ear.

Chloe responded to this by reaching over and scratching the back of Beca's neck softly. "You know, this could be considered our first vacation together," She stated with a smile before telling Beca to take the next exit in order to get to the lookout.

"Hopefully it's our first of many vacations together," Beca said, smiling at the thought.

"The first of many," Chloe said with a smile before they turned off the main road on their way to the lookout. "Not to brag, but this lookout is where I lost my virginity," She said, blushing a little as she bragged.

Beca chuckled at this. "Oh wow. To whom, if I may ask?"

"You remember my ex, Tom don't you?" Chloe asked. Beca nodded. "It was with him, and it was not fun whatsoever," She chuckled. "The first time is never that fun though."

"I mean, my first time wasn't that bad. Maybe it was just Tom," Beca said, unable to keep herself from smirking.

"He was just nervous, I mean...we both were," Chloe said. "However, on the list of people I've slept with, he's probably the worst."

"Where do I rank?" Beca asked, raising an eyebrow.

Chloe paused for a moment to ponder her answer. "That's a tough question. It's kind of hard to compare girls and guys, you know? The experiences can be pretty different."

"Hmmm, I may have to bring my A game later," Beca joked. "Show you that I'm the best." Chloe nudged her, and the two of them laughed.

"You're not going to let this go until you prove it to me, are you?"

"Nope," Beca answered, winking proudly.

Chloe rolled her eyes at the brunette. "You're something else, Beca Mitchell."

Beca smiled at this before she continued to drive. She then saw a clearing, and her eyes widened. "I think I found the lookout that you were talking about."

The young singer turned the Subaru onto the dirt lot. It was a beautiful view of the city. The sun was setting, and the stars were beginning to shine in the sky. "Wow, it's just as beautiful as I remember it," Chloe said as Beca parked the car.

"How long has it been since the last time you were here?" Beca asked.

"I think it was the night before I moved. I came out here with Tom and we just kind of talked, it was one of the only times Tom didn't try to get sexual when we were together," She laughed, scratching her head. "But I am glad to be here with you."

"Me too. This place is beautiful," Beca said, smiling softly at the redhead. She then leaned in and pressed a sweet kiss to her lips. "I love you, Chlo."

Chloe let her eyes close when Beca kissed her, smiling softly. "I love you, Becs," She whispered. "This place instantly just sets a romantic mood, don't you think?"

"It definitely does. I can see why you lost your v-card here," Beca said, laughing a little bit before leaning in to kiss Chloe again. Her hand left the gear shift and moved it to Chloe's cheek. She then opened the sunroof, looking up at the stars. She then had an idea. "Hold on."

She then put on HER's new album, and climbed into the rather spacious backseat. "Come here, babe," Beca said. She then pulled Chloe onto her lap.

Chloe giggled when Beca pulled her onto her lap. She then cupped the brunette's face in her hands, gazing into her ice blue eyes. "You're so beautiful, Becs," the redhead murmured.

"You know, from the moment I met you…" Beca paused for a moment, tucking Chloe's hair back. "...I knew that I had strong feelings about you, but I couldn't decide whether they were good or bad feelings until the night of Homecoming. Seeing you, in that gorgeous dress with your hair in it's natural waves, it made something click inside of me. I had never seen anything or anyone so beautiful," She said, resting her hands on Chloe's hips as the redhead straddled her.

"I was convinced that you hated me for the longest time," Chloe said with a chuckle. "And it kind of made me sad because I didn't understand why. You seemed really cool and I wanted you to like me," she added, her tone changing slightly as she said that.

"You know, that is one of my biggest regrets," Beca said.

"What is?"

"The way I treated you when I first met you. You're so kind, so wonderful, and you have the biggest heart of anyone I know. I know that it's way too late to say this, but I'm so sorry for treating you like shit all those years ago," Beca said, moving her hands to Chloe's cheeks, looking straight into her eyes. "Can you forgive me for being an absolute prick to you?" She asked softly.

"Of course, Becs. I've already forgiven you for that. You've been so good to me since then," Chloe murmured back before kissing Beca on the forehead to reassure her. "Don't worry about it, Becs. It's okay."

"You're way too good for me, Beale," Beca said with a laugh before catching Chloe's lips in a kiss, dropping her hands to her girlfriend's waist. Her thumbs softly scratched at Chloe's skin underneath her shirt, pulling their bodies as close together as possible.

"I can say the same thing about you, Mitchell," Chloe muttered back. The redhead then broke the kiss to move her lips to Beca's neck, sucking on the brunette's skin with her soft lips.

Beca leaned her head back against the headrest, allowing Chloe more space to work with. The redhead was right, being in this place with one another just set the mood perfectly. The view around them was gorgeous, yet the only thing she could focus on was the beautiful woman on her lap. "Mmm," she hummed, moving her hands up and down Chloe's back gently.

"What do you want, baby?" Chloe whispered in Beca's ear before taking her earlobe between her teeth and nibbling it gently.

Everything Chloe did drove Beca wild. It was as if the redhead could read her thoughts, as if she knew exactly what Beca wanted in each moment. "Why don't I show you what I want?" She muttered before wrapping her arms around Chloe's waist. The brunette then smoothly put the backseat down against their luggage and flipped them over so she was now on top. The young musician then took Chloe's legs and wrapped them around her waist, running her hands along the woman's thighs. "I want to make you scream my name," she whispered seductively before beginning to press her lips to Chloe's neck.

"Here?" Chloe asked, her breath getting heavier. "Is there anyone around that might see us?"

Beca did a quick check, they were the only ones there, and the sound of traffic only came from the valley below. "I think the coast is clear, love," She whispered before kissing Chloe's lips.

"You're so sexy, you know that right?" Chloe muttered breathlessly when Beca pulled away.

"I've been told that once or twice," Beca murmured before she lifted Chloe's shirt up her stomach, kissing in between her bra clad breasts down to her stomach. This, plus her hands massaging Chloe's breasts caused the redhead to let out a moan, which made Beca smirk. "This is going to be a great trip."

After their little detour at the lookout, Beca and Chloe headed down to their hotel, where things continued to be steamy between the two of them. The two of them had been apart for six years, give them a break.

"Tonight's all about you, babe," Beca muttered against her neck, smirking at the scarves she'd tied around Chloe's hands and eyes.

Chloe moaned at Beca's words. "God, I wish I could see you right now. I just know you look sexy," she whispered.

"Not as sexy as you look right now," Beca mentioned before kissing right behind her ear. "Have you ever done anything like this before?" She asked, trailing her hands along Chloe's curves.

Chloe shook her head. "This is the first time I've been tied up," she said with a low chuckle.

"Well then, I'm going to take my own sweet time," Beca said, smirking before taking Chloe's legs and wrapping them around her waist. "I want to make sure you enjoy every second of it."

Chloe arched her back off of the bed a little. She got goosebumps when Beca grabbed her legs, as her senses were heightened due to the scarf blindfolding her. "I need you, baby," she groaned, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I know you do, Chlo," Beca murmured, moving her lips to Chloe's sharp jawline and then to her lips. "I bet you wish you could touch me, huh?"

"You know me so well," Chloe murmured back, tugging at the restraints on her hands.

Beca removed Chloe's underwear, shimmying it down the redheads legs. She then kissed down to Chloe's chest, sucking on the redhead's soft skin. "You're so damn beautiful."

"I wish I could see how beautiful you look," Chloe whimpered, biting down on her lip as Beca left a trail of kisses down her body.

As Beca worked her way down Chloe's body, her hands moved up to Chloe's breasts, massaging them gently, making sure to knead them deeply. Her lips were now at Chloe's hips, and she sucked a hickey into Chloe's skin.

Chloe took in a sharp breath when she felt Beca give her a hickey. "Fuck, babe," she moaned, desperately wanting to push the brunette's head down closer to her skin.

This made Beca smirk, slipping her left hand down to Chloe's inner thigh. Then, she started going down on Chloe, going slow to tease her at first.

Chloe let out a sigh of relief as Beca started to pleasure her. "More, baby. I need more," she moaned, bucking her hips towards her girlfriend.

"Mmmm, babe," Beca said before taking her hand down and slipping a finger inside of Chloe, thrusting in and out as her tongue worked Chloe's clit.

This combination of pleasure was driving Chloe crazy; the redhead knew she was getting closer and closer with each second that passed. "Shit! Right there!" She wanted so badly to grab and touch Beca. This was the most amazing feeling, every sensation was heightened. Chloe couldn't help but jerk around in the pleasure.

Beca's free hand held Chloe down and she continued to go down on her girlfriend. The brunette loved the reaction she was getting and was determined to make Chloe feel as good as possible. "How close are you?" She murmured.

Chloe was enjoying this so much, it was incredible how good Beca was making her feel. "Fuck, Beca," She moaned, her back arching.

"Mmmm, how close are you?" Beca asked again, continuing her ministrations.

"So close," Chloe panted. "I'm almost there."

Beca smirked. "That's what I like to hear," she muttered, inserting another finger to increase the amount of pleasure she was giving.

Chloe's toes began to curl as the knot in her stomach grew, everything her girlfriend was doing was at a whole new level. It was amazing. She wanted so badly to tangle her hands in Beca's luscious brown hair, to show brunette just how good this was feeling.

Beca stopped what she was doing for a brief moment. "Do you want to look at me now?" She asked in a soft voice.

Those words were music to Chloe's ears. "God, yes please," She muttered, then feeling Beca remove the blindfold. The redhead looked at the singer hovering over her with a smirk on her beautiful face. "Baby, please untie me," Chloe whimpered, but Beca didn't remove the tied scarf from her hands.

"Not yet, babe," Beca teased before getting back to work.

Chloe groaned. "Just wait till I get my hands on you," she mumbled before she was soon distracted by Beca's ministrations once again.

This made Beca laugh huskily before she upped her game. She added the thumb from her free hand to work with her tongue on Chloe's clit, thrusting faster than before with her fingers. The young singer could feel Chloe inching closer and closer to her climax.

Moments later, Chloe was finally sent over the edge. "Fuck! Beca!" She called out, tilting her head back and arching her back off of the bed as waves of pleasure rippled through her body. Her toes curled once again and she tugged at the restraints on her hands.

Once Chloe had come down from her high, Beca sensually kissed up her body. She made sure to suck on Chloe's breasts a little more just to add a little more pleasure before kissing Chloe's lips. "I bet you won't be able to keep your hands off of me after that," She said with a chuckle. She then untied the scarf and threw it aside only to have Chloe pull her down and kiss her deeply.

"I have never wanted to touch you more than I do now," Chloe murmured against Beca's lips. She then flipped them over so she was on top. "My turn," the redhead whispered before her lips latched onto the brunette's neck.

"Mmmm," Beca hummed, letting her hands scratch up and Chloe's back. "You're so good at this," Beca whispered.

"I know," Chloe replied confidently as she started to leave hickeys on Beca's skin. "How does this feel, baby?"

Beca smirked before letting out a moan. Chloe had always been one for leaving hickeys. "So good," she whispered, digging her nails into Chloe's back.

Chloe's lips started to trail down Beca's body. The feeling of the brunette digging her nails into her back only spurred the redhead on. "I'm gonna make you scream until you lose your voice," she said in a seductive tone of voice.

Damn, my girlfriend is so sexy. Beca thought, her hands moving up to Chloe's fiery red hair. "Fuck, Chlo," She muttered, closing her eyes and enjoying every touch from Chloe.

"That's what I'm gonna do, babe. Give me a second," Chloe replied, chuckling softly. She started moving her hands up Beca's body while her lips continued their path down.

As Chloe continued to kiss down her body, Beca watched the redhead's beauty and passion. It was second to none. Beca had never been so in love, and she knew she'd never be in love like this with anyone else. "You're so beautiful," she said softly as Chloe's lips reached her belly button.

"Thank you, baby," Chloe murmured, moving her lips back up Beca's body in one swift motion to soothe the hickeys she had left on her skin.

A smile spread across Beca's lips. How she got so lucky, she'd never know. Her hand ran through Chloe's hair, enjoying the silky texture. Chloe Beale was the most beautiful living thing on planet earth, and nothing could change Beca's mind.

The redhead then cupped Beca's face with her hands and brought their lips together in a passionate kiss. "I love you so much," Chloe mumbled before sliding her tongue across the brunette's bottom lip.

The redhead was being rather sensual with the whole thing, and Beca was enjoying it very much. "Mmm, I love you more," she hummed in response before allowing Chloe's tongue to slip inside her mouth.

Once Chloe's tongue was in Beca's mouth, they engaged in a battle for dominance. Their tongues danced around each other while their lips smashed together with intensity. One of Chloe's hands moved away from Beca's face and started trailing down the brunette's body once again.

Beca tugged at Chloe's red hair. "Mmm," she hummed as she and the redhead continued to battle, not realizing she was about to lose.

Chloe smirked when she felt Beca's tongue falter for a split second. She took that opportunity to grab the brunette's arms and pin them back behind her head. "Gotcha." She then kissed her girlfriend on the lips. "It's my turn to pleasure you."

This made the young singer squirm with delight. "Oh god!" She hummed, groaning softly as Chloe's hand slipped in between their bodies. "Chlo-" her voice faltered as soon as Chloe began to touch her.

"You like that?" The redhead asked, loving Beca's reaction to her sliding two fingers in. "I know you do, baby. But I won't continue unless you tell me how much you like it."

Everything Chloe said was driving Beca crazy. The redhead was insanely good at talking dirty — it always made Beca weak in the knees. "It f-feels so g-good," she stammered, struggling to form words.

Chloe continued her work, knowing that it was driving Beca insane. Her lips moved down and up Beca's neck, sucking softly and biting gently on the skin to add to the sensations that Beca was currently feeling. "You're so fucking hot," she muttered under her breath, getting turned on herself by how Beca was reacting.

"How hot?" Beca said before moaning again shortly after. "Fuck, Chlo!"

"You know how hot you are, baby, and you know how hot you make me," Chloe said, giving her girlfriend a sweet kiss on the lips. "But, would you rather I show you instead of tell you?"

"Show me," Beca breathed out a heavy sigh of pleasure before biting down on her bottom lip. "I'm so close."

Chloe smirked and made a sudden move down to Beca's core, putting her mouth where the brunette needed it to be. A little while later, they were laying side by side in the bed, their chests rising and falling as they tried to catch their breath. "That was incredible, babe," Chloe murmured.

"It was beyond incredible," Beca said with a happy sigh. She turned onto her side and ran her fingers along Chloe's curves. "You always bring an added level of connection to sex," Beca mentioned. "I get so emotional around you, and it makes everything so much better."

Chloe blushed at Beca's words. "I can say the same thing about you." The redhead leaned over and kissed Beca. "I love you," she mumbled against her girlfriend's lips.

"I love you too, Chlo," Beca said softly. "More than anything."

I have one word for that chapter. Steamy af. Okay three words. I hope you enjoyed that chapter, we will begin working on the next one immediately.

I will be writing COVID into the story. No one is going to die, but I figured it would be interesting to see how it would've gone if Biden and Harris were in office in the beginning. It will follow all of the main characters and how they handle it. That will probably be a couple chapters down the road.

Until next time!
