"Hey Becs I'm home!" Chloe exclaimed, slightly wearily, as she walked through the front door of their apartment.
"Hey Chloe, how was vet school?" The brunette lay on the couch, and had looked up from scrolling aimlessly through her phone.
"Pretty interesting, but tiring." She threw her bag to the floor and collapsed over dramatically onto the sofa next to Beca, who gave her a slightly annoyed look due to the sudden invasion of personal space. "What are you doing Chlo?"
The red head pouted, "I need a hug Bec."
Beca rolled her eyes, but eventually gave in as Chloe wrapped her arms around her.
The younger woman had tried her very best, a couple of years ago, to stop the regular hugging and casual touching from Chloe, but it was to no avail so she had to give up in the end. And although she denies it, she definitely doesn't mind it at all. In fact, it may even be starting to grow on her.
Chloe pulled out of the hug, smiling at Beca. "I got you sushi from your favourite place on the way back Mitchell. It's in my bag."
"No way, I'm literally craving it right now." Chloe grinned and got up off the couch to go and fetch the food.
"Here you go, salmon box for you and the edamame salad for me!"
"Ugh salad."
"Gosh Mitchell, you're such a child."
Beca ignored her as she was already tucking in to her food.
"Shall I put on Brooklyn 99 Becs?"
This led to a raised eyebrow from the brunette, because as much as she loved the show, she could never persuade Chloe to watch it.
"Since when do you offer to watch Brooklyn 99 with me?"
Chloe blushed slightly. "I just wanted to watch it with you!"
Beca frowned and then sighed. "Chloe what do you want?"
The older woman tried to maintain innocence. "What are you talking about Becs?"
"Chloe.., you've bought me my favourite takeaway and now you've volunteered to watch my favourite show which you're not a fan of."
"Ok, so…"
"Told you!"
"Becs I want to ask you a massive favour."
The younger woman raised her eyes, not looking forward to whatever question that was about to leave Chloe's mouth. "What is it Chlo?"
"My brothers getting married-"
"Good for him."
Chloe slapped Beca's leg gently. "Beca listen!"
"Hey! You're supposed to be being nice to me!"
"Anyway, he's getting married in 3 weeks and I may or may not have told my family that I've got a girlfriend who's coming with me."
Beca coughed slightly, she already knew Chloe was bi- that wasn't the thing that surprised her. What did surprise her was the question that left Chloe's mouth seconds later.
"Beca… I know it's really short notice and a huge ask, but would you be my fake girlfriend for that weekend?"
"Sorry. What?" Beca's eyebrows shot up as she took in Chloe's request. "Chloe, what the... why did you tell them you had a girlfriend in the first place?"
The red head sighed, "I don't know Becs, I guess they always mention it because my brother's been with his fiancée for like 4 years and it's always 'still single Chloe?' or 'when are you bringing someone to meet us Chloe?' and I just wanted to have one family occasion where I don't get all those annoying questions."
"Wow ok…" Beca wasn't too sure how to respond, she ran a hand through her hair and contemplated Chloe's question.
"It's a weekend Becs, we would leave Friday evening. So you wouldn't need to take time off work."
Beca rolled her eyes slightly, "Surprisingly Chlo, that wasn't really my main worry."
"Well what is your main worry then?"
The brunette looked lost for words. "Jesus, where do I start?"
"Look Becs, I'd only ask you this if I was really desperate, it's only for a couple of days, I'd literally owe you forever and plus you'd get to fake date a super hot red head."
"You owing me forever sounds like a good deal."
"What about the fake dating a super hot red head?" Chloe winked.
"Meh," Beca scrunched up here nose in mock disgust. Chloe gave her a cold stare.
"Fine, it would be lovely." The older woman's face lit up.
"Is that a yes?"
"I never said that."
"Beca, please..." Chloe gave the brunette her best puppy dog eyes, to which Beca just couldn't say no.
"Ugh..."
Chloe immediately engulfed her in an extremely tight hug.
"I'm not going to be able to come if I've died of suffocation."
The red head released her, grinning.
"Well then, hope you're free tomorrow because we're going dress shopping!"
"Woah, I did not sign up for that, just pick me something out."
"You're no fun Becs!"
"Well I must be quite fun because I am your girlfriend now apparently."
Chloe giggled and planted a quick kiss on Beca's cheek, who wasn't taken aback by it because she knew Chloe was an affectionate person, but it did make her think about the wedding.
"Chlo..."
"What is it Becs?"
"What do I have to like... do at the wedding."
"Just act like we're dating, you know, holding hands and stuff."
"And stuff?"
"Yeah, I don't know...how would you feel about other sorts of PDA?"
"Like what?"
"Well... kissing I guess?"
The brunette's eyes widened. "What?"
"We need to be realistic Becs!"
"Yeah I know but...won't it just be awkward.?"
"Becs it'll only be awkward if we make it awkward- but obviously if you're not okay with it then we don't have to."
Beca sighed, not wanting to let her best friend down, "Fine, whatever."
Chloe beamed at her. "Also one other thing Becs, you have to promise not to fall in love with me." She winked jokingly at the younger woman who rolled her eyes- "Won't be a problem."
Chloe faked taking extreme offence before getting up from the couch in order to take shower. "Does my girlfriend want to join me?" She joked.
"I've seen you in the shower enough thank you very much!" Beca claims she's still traumatised after Chloe's surprise shower invasion.
The red head tutted and winked at Beca, "You're missing out Becs," causing her to blush.
"Go and have your shower and leave me in peace!"
"If you insist."
"I do."
