Beca groaned as she rested her head up against the steering wheel, "I swear to god I'm about to die of hunger Chloe."

"Beca stop being so dramatic."

They had been moving at snail's pace for about three hours, and were now at a standstill, the traffic was horrendous- it was almost 6 o clock and they were still no where near home.

"I'm not being dramatic Chlo."

The red head rolled her eyes, "I'm just glad you volunteered switch to driving those many hours ago."

"I'm not."

"Right there's some town half a mile from here. I'm going to turn off now."

"If you insist Becs."

"I do."

The younger woman turned off the freeway and followed the signposts to the nearby town.

Chloe let out a small gasp, "Beca this place is gorgeous."

The town they'd driven to was small and quaint, with a river running alongside it.

"I thought you'd like it. Now what do you fancy for dinner?"

Chloe smiled, "What are my options?

Once she'd parked, Beca opened up her phone and scrolled through a website, "Well, there's a nice little Italian place, another nice little Italian place, or a nice little Italian place. What floats your boat?"

"Hmm...", Chloe faked deep thought, "How about that nice little Italian place?"

"Your wish is my command m'lady."

The pair climbed out of the car and Beca took Chloe's hand in hers as they entered the restaurant, they were seated in a romantic corner and ordered a bottle of wine to go alongside Chloe's pasta and Beca's pizza.

"Beca you do know you've got work tomorrow, how are we going to get back if we both drink?"

"Oh it's fine I'll just call in sick and we can stay in a hotel overnight."

Chloe shrugged, "Fine by me."

"Perfect. Now, a toast- to us!"

"To us."

The evening was perfect, they talked for hours and consumed several bottles of rather nice, rather expensive white wine. Once the bill was paid, by Beca, despite Chloe's arguments, they sauntered out the restaurant and wandered towards the river where they decided to sit down in the grass. The two sat silently for a few minutes, Beca resting her head on the red head's shoulder, before the older woman spoke up.

"You know you never came out to me Bec?"

The brunette sighed, "I know, I'm sorry-"

Chloe cut her off, "Woah Bec don't ever apologise for something like that. I just wondered why?"

"I don't really know... it's just a combination I guess. People always joked about it at school saying I was gay and stuff because I played sports and because of what I wore. And to be honest it never really bothered me too much to begin with but eventually it just got annoying and started to affect me so once I left high school I just tried to ignore it and never bought it up with anyone because it would just remind me of that time in my life which was fairly shit. And I've always been scared that the people I love will change if I told them."

"Bec you know I'd never-"

"No Chlo don't worry I know you wouldn't, of course. But my dad is kinda traditional and I'm sure he'd try and understand, but it still fucking terrifies me that I could lose him."

Before Beca could say anything else, Chloe pulled her into a fierce hug, she didn't say anything but they both knew she didn't need to say anything.

Once Chloe had let her go after a couple of minutes, Beca spoke up. "Thank you, for, you know... everything", she said gently.

"No thank you Bec, for trusting me with all this."

"I love you Chlo."

"I love you too."

Beca smiled slightly before putting her arms round Chloe's neck and placing a light kiss on the corner of her mouth. The older woman kissed back, but with more force then their previous kisses, Beca responded gratefully as Chloe moved her hands up to cup the brunette's face. Beca flicked her tongue along Chloe's bottom lip, in response the red head granted access and their tongues fought for dominance.

Chloe let out a soft moan as the intensity and heat between them increased, but pulled away shortly after, much to Beca's disappointment.

"Hey! Why did you stop?"

"Bec we are very much in public and if we went much further I don't think I'd be able to stop which would probably lead to us being arrested."

"Fair point."

"That being said if you don't kiss me again soon I'm going to combust."

"I guess we better find that hotel then", smirked Beca.

"We better."

They grabbed each other's hands and jogged hurriedly back towards the hotel they'd passed earlier.

They managed to find the hotel after a couple of wrong turns and quickly paid for the only room left in the building. They were giggling in the elevator as Chloe started kissing her again. "Chlo stop what if someone walks in!"

Once the elevator stopped they hurried out towards their room for the night and Beca eventually managed to get the door unlocked despite fumbling with the key.

The door was slammed behind them as Chloe attached her lips onto Beca's and pressed her up against the door. As the red head started to move down to her neck, Beca groaned.

"Jesus Christ."

"Nope it's just me", winked Chloe.

Beca rolled her eyes, but inhaled sharply as she felt Chloe start to suck on her neck.

"Fuck..."

Chloe grinned, "Someone's keen."

"Someone needs to move to the bed or else she'll literally collapse."

"Your wish is my command," announced Chloe, as she half carried, half dragged the younger woman towards the hotel bed.
