Hey all! Sorry for the delayed update - I'm actually super ill at the mo..

Thank you FranciumJoker for your lovely review - always nice to hear from 'silent admirers' hehe. I'm so pleased you're enjoying this fic. I've been loving writing it and reading everyone's reviews.

Sakura Martinez - thanks as always for the mega review. I'm sorry you've had to spend your day off waiting patiently(?) for this update! It's been a total accident writing hints Staubery but I figured meh why not? (I kinda don't get that ship but Aubrey needs to break some rules haha)

Zombiekiller1013 - merci buddy! What a compliment! I've tried really hard to keep as true to the characters as possible.

Special shoutout to RJRMovieFan who I missed out of the shoutouts back in Chapter 10 - so sorry, for some reason wasn't posting all the fic's reviews so I only saw it yesterday! Thanks for the compliment and yes, perfect first date ;)

Songs listened to during the writing of this Chapter was again 'Carry You' by Novo Amor, (bloody love that song!) and 'Vapour' by Vancouver Sleep Clinic (which is AMAZING, if you haven't heard it then check it out. Play it on repeat. Imagine Chloe's POV of finally getting to make out with Beca. Or whatever.)

Enjoy this first part of a two part bunch of one-shots that follow The Bella's throughout the 24hrs since Beca & Chloe's first kiss...


0930hrs

A screech of chairs dragging along wooden flooring was sounded around the busy hotel restaurant as many of The Bella's stood up from their table and began making their way up to their respective hotel rooms get ready for a rehersal. All who remained in their seats were Beca, Chloe, Fat Amy, and sat two seats down was Aubrey. Beca held her right hand out and was focussed on rubbing her thumb somewhat nervously against the glass her orange juice had once been in, as though trying to rub a sticker off the surface, yet there was no sticker there. To her right sat Chloe. To her left Fat Amy. The two people who knew about last nights date. Almost opposite her was Aubrey. The one who would likely go crazy if she found out.

Beca tried desperately hard to ignore the look that Chloe was giving her, clearly trying to work out what was going on in her mind. But nothing was going on. She felt numb. Absent. Memories of all that had happened between her and the redhead in the past twelve hours flashing in her mind. She could distinctly smell Chloe's perfume, despite the presence of breakfast food nearby, and she wondered if it was because Chloe's perfume was actually on her? Beca casually grabbed the collar of her blue flannel top and brought it up to her face, trying to pull it off that she was wiping her nose. A weird warm rush ran over her body as she could smell Chloe's perfume on her clothes and she tried to remain unbothered by the fact that had nobody else been in the room with them at that precise moment she would've pulled Chloe onto the floor and had sex with her there and then.

"So…" Beca dragged herself back to reality as she heard the voice and turned her eyes to Fat Amy, who was looking at her and Chloe, wiggling her eyebrows up and down, a massive teasing grin on her face "what've you chicks been up to since I last saw you?"

Beca could feel the heat rise in her cheeks and she could tell she was blushing badly. But before she or Chloe could respond a voice piped up from the other side of the table, "Er Amy? Shouldn't you be getting ready for rehearsals?" Aubrey said as she stood up from the breakfast table. Beca furrowed her brow slightly at Aubrey's behaviour. The blonde actually looked flustered as she pulled her hotel key out of her pocket and twiddled the keyring between her fingers and thumb.

"Aubrey we have a whole hour before we leave!" The Australian protested with a screwed up face, her tone suggesting that she had no idea why her roommate was making a fuss. Beca saw Aubrey raise her eyebrows at Amy, a serious look on her face before jerking her head towards the door that would lead them out of the restaurant. This motion seemed to be enough of a hint, and Amy let out a long sigh, "Fine!" The Australian pushed her chair back before getting up, giving Beca and Chloe a wink and a grin as she did so, then walked out of the room into the lobby.

Beca turned to Chloe who appeared to be giving Aubrey a grateful grin, a grin that was returned by their friend who quickly said, "Right, well…we'll see you down in the lobby in an hour." And Beca watched Aubrey turn on her heels and pace out of the restaurant to go to her hotel room.

The brunette rolled her eyes and looked at the woman sat beside her, saying in a monotone voice, "Aubrey knows, doesn't she..." She saw Chloe screw her face up, nodding slightly as she bit her bottom lip. If she wasn't currently infatuated with the beautiful redhead, Beca would have definitely got annoyed. But as she looked into those bright blue eyes Beca realised there was no way she could ever get annoyed with her best friend.

"Dude what happened to us not telling anyone yet?" she said with a chuckle and her heart skipped a beat slightly as Chloe reached out and placed a hand on her thigh, "Beca she saw us returning from our date." Beca brought her right hand down and placed it on Chloe's as the redhead squeezed her thigh affectionately with a small giggle, "She totally guessed. There was nothing I could do!"

Beca rolled her eyes again but the smile on her face showed Chloe that she wasn't angry, "Alright, alright, well…at least she appears to be taking it well." It was true. Aubrey appeared to have taken this news very well indeed.

Beca found her heart racing a little as Chloe turned in her seat to face her and lean towards her ear, whispering excitably, "That's because she can see how happy you make me!" And the brunette tried to hide the grin that had spread across her face as she muttered, "You goofball" trying not to care that her girlfriend had wrapped both her hands around Beca's right hand and was squeezing it affectionately, responding with a hushed, "Yeah, but I'm your goofball."

1040hrs

The Bella's reached the bottom of the escalator moving away from it slowly, in a huddle, while Aubrey took the lead, looking at the underground map on a wall opposite that would tell them which direction to get their tube from. Chloe followed her friends, but her brain wasn't really processing what her eyes were seeing as they all weaved their way between the bustling tourists and inhabitants of London.

The redhead wandered in a trance, having just about overheard Aubrey tell them they would need to take a left to stand on the westbound platform. A soft grin whispered across her face as her mind drifted, remembering the moments leading up to and the actual feel of the first kiss she and Beca had shared. It had been everything she had hoped for and more. Gentle, affectionate, soft, meaningful. She had frozen in shock at how right it had felt. The subsequent kisses they had shared over the following two hours that they had spent making out had been bolder. More explorative. Hands had remained over pyjamas, though Chloe could remember how desperately she had wanted to feel Beca's smooth skin beneath her fingertips. And then, as the time fell deeper into the early hours of the morning, their kisses became less frequent and the two women had simply laid together, looking into one another's eyes with goofy grins on their faces until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The Bella's slowly shuffled through onto the busy platform, weaving their way between expectant passengers while a tube arrived into the station. "We'll wait for the next one!" Aubrey called from the front of the group, as people around them barged onto the available carriages. As the tube pulled away from the station The Bella's stepped forward to the edge of the platform to ensure their place on the next tube. Chloe stood at the back of the little group but didn't mind, content in staring at the large advert on the wall opposite the platform. Or rather looking but not seeing, as her mind wandered again.

Remembering waking up this morning to the sound of the shower running in the hotel room ensuite. She had turned to see that Beca was no longer laying beside her, assuming she must be in the shower. She remembered crawling out of bed and putting her ear to the door of the ensuite, hearing Beca step into the shower. Chloe had felt butterflies in her tummy as she pulled her pyjamas off and scooted into the ensuite. Her heart had been racing as she'd stepped into the shower, delighted that Beca hadn't noticed. She'd watched the petite brunette wash her hair, loving the way she'd scrunched up her nose and spat away the soapsuds of shampoo. Chloe's eyes had naturally drifted down Beca's naked body and it had taken her all of her self control not to pounce on the woman there and then. A good decision as it turned out because Beca had been pretty startled by Chloe's presence. The moment she had pulled Beca to her, impulsively, kissing her hungrily, had been one of the best decisions she had ever made. The feel of the brunette's wet kisses and soft tongue rolling with hers as Beca pulled her underneath the hot shower water with her. The feel of her damp skin beneath her fingertips as she ran her hands all over Beca's body. The feel of Beca's mouth as her best friend had licked and sucked at her neck, shoulders, breasts…

Chloe jumped out of her daydream as she felt her hand being taken and she turned to see her best friend, her girlfriend, standing beside her with a cheeky grin on her face, as though the woman had an idea. Her heart skipped a beat as Beca motioned her head in a direction further down the platform from The Bella's and Chloe let out a small squeal and a little giggle as she allowed Beca to drag her between passengers to a spot a little further down the platform, just out of sight of their friends. Beca managed to get close to the edge of the platform and stopped. Chloe stood so her body faced her right side, and the redhead held Beca's right hand in both her hands as she leant close, brushing her lips against Beca's ear as she whispered, "I was just thinking about our shower this morning". She brought her face away slightly to see Beca's reaction and was thrilled to see Beca swallow loudly, a grin slowly wiping its way onto the brunette's face as her cheeks began to flush slightly. She felt the woman squeeze her hands as their tube rumbled into the station and Chloe took this opportunity to kiss Beca quickly on the cheek.

Chloe allowed Beca to lead her onto the crowded tube, noticing that they were at the end of the carriage and they glanced down the carriage, seeing the top of Aubrey's head, pleased to know that The Bella's had at least got on the same tube as them. They only had two stops to go until they needed to get off. Chloe leant back against the metal frame of the tube, the angle causing her to drop about a foot in height as she kept her feet outstretched slightly in front of her, and she tugged on both of Beca's hands as the brunette snuck past an older gentleman to straddle her girlfriend's feet. They were confident The Bella's couldn't see them. Chloe looked up into Beca's eyes and suddenly it was as though they were the only two in the crowded carriage as the door alarms sounded to notify passengers that the doors were closing. Chloe let go of Beca's hands and instead smoothed her palms over Beca's hips, letting them rest there. She saw the brunette look down at her lips and Chloe's heart skipped a beat.

All of a sudden the tube jolted forward as it began to leave the station causing Beca's whole body to fall entirely against Chloe's. The two women giggled as Beca pushed against the metal behind Chloe, her hands either side of Chloe's head, but only pushed away so much that she didn't crush the redhead's body. Chloe felt her breath catch in her lungs as she saw Beca lean her face towards her, and she slowly closed her eyes as Beca, her girlfriend, placed a soft kiss on her lips. A kiss that involuntarily became firmer as the tube picked up speed, but the women didn't complain. Chloe snaked her arms under Beca's jacket and around her waist, pulling her closer while it felt as though balls of fire burnt away in the pit of her stomach. No sooner had the kiss started it finished as Chloe reluctantly let Beca step away from her to let some passengers leave the carriage. They hadn't even realised the tube had reached the next station. Only one more to go. And Chloe grinned as Beca stood next to her, the brunette putting her hand in Chloe's jeans back pocket to cup her ass cheek.


I'm trying to capture that intense infatuation you get when you first start dating someone you ADORE!

Part two will be posted in a few hours ;)

Of course reviews are welcome in the meantime..
