It had been two days since Chloe had heard from Beca and it was now Christmas morning. Chloe was putting on makeup when her dad walked in the room. "What are you putting on all the stuff for?"
Chloe sighed. "It's Christmas dad I always put makeup on..."
"You sure you not just doing that because Beca will be there."
Chloe turned to face her dad and rolled her eyes. "I doubt you'd even let me get near her anyway, it isn't for Beca."
Richard nodded. "Okay, your mother and I have to run a few errands. Your grandmother is here and she'll be driving you and Caleb to Beca's. A few of our family members are here so you all can go together.
Chloe nodded. "Alright... How long will you guys be?"
"About an hour, we gotta pick up some things and then we're meeting a few of your aunts and uncles at the airport so we can show them the way."
Chloe nodded and turned back to her mirror. "Okay, tell grandma I''ll only be a few more minutes."
"Okay." Richard started walking out of the room before turning back to look at Chloe. "Did you like the gifts you got today?"
Chloe nodded and held up her arm. "The bracelet you got for me is beautiful... thanks."
Richard smiled. "No problem.. Merry Christmas.
Chloe sat anxiously in the car seat as her grandma pulled up to Beca's house. "I don't even know why we're doing this here. Christmas is about spending time with family.."
Chloe rolled her eyes and got out of the car. "She has put a lot of hard work into this, she wants to thank us for helping her get through her physical therapy." She knocked on the door eagerly and grinned when Beca opened the door. "Merry Christmas!"
Beca looked at Chloe with a smirk. "Merry Christmas!" Beca looked behind Chloe and saw a bunch of people walking to them. "Is that all your family?"
Chloe shook her head. "There's more coming."
Beca nodded and smiled at everyone. "Hello everyone, Merry Christmas! Thank you for coming to spend Christmas with me even though I'm a stranger. Please come in."
Everyone walked inside the house in awe of how big it was and how beautiful the decorations were. Chloe walked Beca around to each family member to make introductions and smiled when she was done. "And that was a piece of my family that's coming... I missed you."
Beca smiled and held Chloe's hand. "I missed you too."
"Chloe!" Chloe's grandmother yelled as she walked over to them. "Your father told me to make sure you stay away from Beca."
Beca rolled her eyes. "Lovely seeing you again Ms. Beale. I was just asking Chloe to help me get the sodas from the basement.. Is that allowed?"
"Your hair is pretty." Riley said to Chloe's grandma. "Can you show me how you did it like that?"
Linda, Chloe's grandmother, smiled and nodded. "Sure sweetheart."
Beca winked at Riley and pulled Chloe in the direction of the basement. "I never showed you this part of the house." Beca said as she shut the door and walked down the steps. Once they were all the way down the basement, Beca pulled Chloe into her and kissed. "I love you so much."
Chloe grinned and pushed Beca on the couch before getting on top of her. "I love you too."
Beca smiled. "I've got something for you..." Beca reached into her pocket and pulled out a small gift. "This is one of your gifts."
Chloe grinned and pulled the wrapping paper off, gasping when she saw the box. "Bec.."
Beca smirked. "Open it!"
Chloe opened the box and gasped. Beca had gotten her a six carat diamond ring. "Beca.."
"It's not an engagement ring, don't worry." Beca said with a laugh. "It's a promise ring... It's me promising to be there for you, to love you, and never let anyone take you away from me.."
Chloe smiled with tears in her eyes. "This is a very expensive looking promise ring Beca."
Beca grinned. "Just imagine what your engagement ring will look like." She said with a wink.
"How am I suppose to wear it without my parents or anyone else seeing it?"
Beca shrugged. "Let them see it, I don't give a fuck.. It's yours, I bought it for you because I love you and they can't force you not to wear it."
Chloe smiled and kissed Beca. "Thank you, it's beautiful.."
"I knew it'd match you perfectly." Beca said with a wink.
Chloe grinned and then sighed. "I guess we should probably get upstairs.."
Beca pushed Chloe further down on the couch and got on top of her. "Or maybe we can do a little of this.." She leaned down and gently connected her lips to Chloe's. "Just for a little longer."
Chloe nodded and started kissing Beca. She gasped when she felt Beca's hand go down her pants and she gently moved it. "We can't.."
Beca sighed and started kissing Chloe's neck. "We can't but we should." She whispered.
"Beca?" They heard Riley's little voice saying from the steps.
Beca sat up. "Everything okay Ry?"
"Ms. Linda is looking for you and Chloe..."
Beca stood up with a sigh. "Okay, I'll be up in sec. Thanks for the warning." Beca looked at Chloe and shrugged. "To be continued..."
"Yeah but when?" Chloe murmured. "So are we gonna wait a couple minutes and go out at separate times?"
Beca shook her head. "No, there's a staircase that leads to the second floor. I'll take the stairs and when I come down I'll say I was in the bathroom while you just go back up there with this box of soda."
Chloe nodded and kissed Beca. "I love you."
Beca smiled. "I love you too." Beca made her way to the other staircase and walked up to the second floor while Chloe grabbed a box of soda and went up to the living room where her family was.
The moment Chloe closed the basement door, her grandmother was by her side. "Where were you and why were you gone so long? Where's Beca?"
"I was in the basement looking for the sodas, Beca went upstairs for something but she hasn't come back yet and I didn't know where the sodas were."
Linda folded her arms. "You're my granddaughter, I know when you're lying... I'm just gonna wait here until Beca comes through the basement door."
"Oh look grandma it's Beca." Chloe said with a smug grin. "It looks like she's coming from upstairs right?"
Linda frowned. "Oh.. I'm sorry. You know the rules though." Linda said as Beca approached them.
"Hey sorry that took longer than I expected... I see you found the soda." Beca said with a smirk.
Chloe nodded. "Yeah, I couldn't carry them all did you want to bring up more?"
Beca shrugged . "I guess so." She looked at Linda. "Do you want to help or do you trust us to just get sodas.."
Linda waved them off. "Get the sodas, five minutes.. I'll be back."
Beca smirked and pulled Chloe down the basement again. "I got us five more minutes of alone time.."
Chloe pulled Beca to her and attached their lips. "I guess we better make the most of it." Chloe looked at the time four minutes later with a sigh. "We have to stop."
Beca groaned. "I doubt she'll really be back in five minutes." Beca said as she leaned back in.
Chloe pulled away again. "She will, trust me."
Beca sighed and bent over to pick up a box. "I can't wait until tomorrow..."
Chloe picked up a box too and looked at Beca. "What's happening tomorrow?"
Beca started walking up the steps with a smile. "We're going on a date."
"What? How? My grandma won't let me leave the house you know that."
Beca nodded. "I do, but you remember my note?" Seeing Chloe nod she continued. "I don't give a fuck and I'm gonna see you."
"Okay." Chloe said with a smile. As soon as they walked in the kitchen to put the sodas down, Chloe's parents walked in with more of her family.
Richard frowned. "I recalled you saying you were gonna be like a ghost Mitchell." He looked at Linda who walked in the kitchen. "Why are they together mom?"
Linda rolled her eyes. "They were getting soda from the basement, that's it."
"That better be it, come on Chloe." Richard said as he guided Chloe out of the kitchen and away from Beca.
A few hours had gone by now and everyone was enjoying themselves. Everyone except for Chloe that is. Richard had been by her side throughout the entire day making sure she stayed away from Beca. "Look at that." Richard said shaking his head. "She's already moving on."
Chloe looked to where her dad was pointing and rolled her eyes seeing it was only Emily. "Dad it's not like that, Emily is a friend of ours."
"Friends are the ones that swoop in when relationships fail." Richard said with a frown.
Chloe sighed. "I have to use the bathroom.. Can I do that on my own or do you want to go potty with me too."
"Where'd Beca go?"
Chloe shrugged. "I don't know dad, I've been here with you all day and you were just talking to me so I wasn't looking at her."
Richard nodded. "Go to the bathroom, I'm gonna go talk to your uncle for a bit."
Chloe nodded and walked upstairs and made her way to the bathroom. She looked in the mirror and sighed. "This day sucks.."
"It does your dad it like a fucking mama bear, no one is getting near the cub." Beca said with a laugh.
Chloe turned to Beca with a smile. "Are you following me?"
Beca shrugged. "Not really, you were in the same place basically the whole day. I'm surprised your dad let you go to the bathroom alone."
"I know, I said the same thing.."
Beca nodded and grabbed Chloe's hand. "Come on.."
Chloe smiled. "Where we going?"
Beca smirked. "Away from everyone..." Beca pulled Chloe into her room and shut and locked the door. "I know we probably won't have much time alone, so I just want to give you this." Beca ran to her closet and pulled out a big box. "I saw you staring at this a while ago so I got it for you." Beca said with a smile.
Chloe opened the box and her eyes widened. "Oh my god! It's the dress!"
Beca nodded. "It looked like you were in love with that dress so I knew I had to go and get it for you."
"It's beautiful."
Beca handed Chloe another box. "This is a gift for the both of us.." Beca said with a smirk.
Chloe opened it and laughed when she saw the box was full of different types and colors of lingerie. Chloe picked some of them up with a small smile. "Well this is... interesting.."
Beca nodded. "And sexy as hell, obviously this box will stay here because your parents do not need to see this."
Chloe looked at the ring on her finger and the boxes. "Bec you really didn't have to do this."
"I love you, I wanted to do it. Did anyone notice the ring yet?"
Chloe shook her head. "I've been pretty good at hiding it, but I'll probably end up slipping up by the end of the night.."
Beca smiled. "Like I said earlier, you don't have to hide it... It's not an engagement ring...yet."
"You keep saying that." Chloe said with a smile. "You trying to tell me something?"
Beca shrugged and started playing with Chloe's fingers. "I mean I have this super awesome, supportive, beautiful, sexy, smart, amazing girlfriend..." She looked Chloe in the eyes. "I'd be a fool to let you go."
Chloe smiled and kissed Beca. "I'd say yes.. I mean not if you asked me anytime soon, but I could see in the near future like a couple years."
Beca nodded. "Me too."
"I might surprise you and propose to you first." Chloe said with a grin.
Beca laughed. "You just might.."
Chloe frowned as she noticed Beca's face suddenly get serious. "What's wrong?"
Beca sighed. "Your parents hate me now..."
"If they hated you we wouldn't be here, they're just upset."
Beca grabbed Chloe's hands and looked at her. "Are you willing to do anything to be with me?"
Chloe nodded. "As long as it doesn't put me or you in jail." Chloe said with a smile.
Beca smirked. "Good. Now you should get back downstairs before swat gets called. I'll see you tomorrow babe around three." She leaned in and kissed Chloe. "Now take your sexy ass downstairs before I keep you locked in here forever."
Chloe stood up. "You know that wouldn't be so bad.. but it's Christmas so I gotta be around my family."
Beca nodded. "I'll be down in a minute, I've got presents for your family."
Chloe smiled as she walked to the door. "You're amazing."
Richard watched as Chloe came back downstairs with a small frown. "Took you long enough, I hope you enjoyed your time with Beca."
"What are you-"
Richard stopped her. "Chloe I went up after you and saw you walking into Beca's room."
"Why didn't you do anything?"
Richard shrugged. "I was giving you your time, and that was the last time you'll see her. I was about to go back up there."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "This is ridiculous.."
Richard looked at the box in Chloe's hand. "What you got there?"
"A gift from Beca.." As her dad took the box and opened it Chloe started to panic, hoping she didn't grab the wrong box.
"This dress is beautiful."
Chloe let out a sigh of relief. "Yeah I told her I wanted it a while ago and she remembered. What?" Chloe asked when she noticed he was staring at her with a frown.
"What is that on your finger?"
Chloe's eyes widened. "It was another gift from Beca... It's a promise ring..."
Richard frowned. "A promise ring for what? A promise to leave you alone?"
Chloe sighed. "I'm putting this box in the car." When Chloe walked back in the house she smiled seeing Beca walking around giving all of her family small boxes. She was about to walk over to Beca when she saw her dad looking at her warningly. She sighed and walked over to one of her cousins. "Hey Michelle, what's in the box?"
Michelle smiled. "Your friend gave us some awesome bling! Gold chains!"
Chloe's eyes widened. "She's giving everyone gold chains?"
"I think so, that's what it looks like." Michelle said as she noticed people pulling out gold chains. She looked at Chloe. "Did she give you a gold chain?"
Chloe shook head. "She gave me a few other things.."
Michelle nodded at the discreet answer, her eyes widening when she noticed the big ring on her cousins finger. "Holy shit! Who the hell put a ring on it? I did't know you were dating..."
Chloe laughed. "It's not an engagement ring, it's a Christmas present from Beca..."
"What's going on there? I've been noticing the lingering glances and how grandma and uncle Richard seem to not really like her.. not to mention that big ass ring."
Chloe pulled Michelle away from everyone with a smile. She had been wanting to talk to someone all about Beca but her best friend from New York had been busy lately. "We're dating, we've been dating for three months."
Michelle's eyes widened. "Whoa, go Chlo! Wait is she the one that saved you in that car accident?"
Chloe nodded with a proud smile. "Yeah, she put herself in terrible danger to save me the day after we started talking."
"Wow, talk about loving someone from the start. So what up with Uncle Rich? I understand why Gram doesn't like her, but why your dad?"
Chloe sighed. "He loved Beca at first... They were like close and had talks.. but the three nights ago we had our first time together. Then the next day our hormones got the best of us and we did it in the school bathroom, someone heard and told the principal and then suddenly I'm banned from seeing Beca."
Michelle shook her head. "That's rough, Beca must be damn good at what she does though for you to be doing it in school."
Chloe nodded. "All I'll say is that no guy has ever made me feel the way Beca did when they were between my legs."
"Feel is a code name for cum right?" Michelle said with a smirk.
Chloe laughed. "Yeah."
Beca handed the box to Kate with a smile. "Hey, I wasn't sure if you'd be here.. Merry Christmas!
Kate took the box with a smile. "Thank you, and this is kind of my family now so.."
Beca nodded and watched as Kate opened the box. "I got everyone a gold chain... it looks good and if it's not somebodies style they can sell it for some good money."
Kate's eyes widened. "You got everyone in here a gold chain?"
Beca nodded. "Chloe said she had a huge family so I bought seventy-five chains."
"Seventy-five? Oh my god Beca how much was all of it?"
Beca sighed. "A lot.. But I have more than enough money buying a few chains won't hurt."
Kate smiled. "You are something else Beca Mitchell."
Beca smirked. "I know, I'm pretty great."
"I wish I never would have let you go." Kate said in a flirty tone.
Beca frowned. "What?"
"I love you Beca.."
Beca's eyes widened. "Is this some kind of Christmas family joke?"
"Nope." Kate said popping the p at the end. "It's me being honest."
Beca grabbed the cup that was in Kate's hand and smelled it. "Dude where did you get alcohol from?"
Kate smiled. "In the kitchen silly."
Beca spotted Chloe's aunt Alice. "Stay here I'll be right back." She walked in the direction Alice went. "Alice!"
"Yeah?" Alice said when she saw Beca.
Beca gave her a small smile. "So I know you're like Kate's stepmom or whatever so I thought I'd let you know that she's had some alcohol."
Alice's eyes widened. "She did? Thank you for telling me." When Beca nodded and started walking away, Kate grabbed her arm stopping her. "Laura told me what happened... I just want you to know that I'm backing you guys 100 percent."
Beca smiled. "Thank you, it's nice to know we have someone in our corner, they're keeping us separated."
Alice nodded. "Let me know if you need anything.."
"I will thanks... I told her to stay there and wait for me.. she was getting a bit flirty."
Alice smiled. "I'll take care of it."
Beca nodded and walked away. She saw Riley eating some food and walked over to her with a smile. "Hey Ry."
Riley smiled. "Hey Beca."
"Are you enjoying yourself?"
Riley nodded with a grin. "This is one of the best Christmas' ever! This must be what it's like to have a family for the holidays..."
Beca sighed and looked at Chloe's family. "Yeah it must be..."
"Can we do this every year?" Riley asked with a hopeful smile.
Beca smiled and gave a small nod. "I'd love to, but it's up to them if they decide to come.. We'll worry about it when the time comes.."
The night was coming to a close and Beca was saying goodbye to some of Chloe's family and offering some rooms to the others. The living room was now empty except for Beca, Chloe, Riley, Caleb, Laura, Linda, and Richard. "I want to think you guys for coming even though you two aren't too happy with me right now.. I know I gave you guys gold chains like everyone else but I have one more thing for you two." Beca said looking at Chloe's parents. She handed them a box. "Open it when you get home." She handed Caleb a big box. "Here you go kid, Ry helped me pick it out for you."
Caleb smiled. "Thanks Beca!"
"No problem." Beca looked at Chloe with a small smile. "Last one for tonight I promise." She said with a laugh. She gave Chloe the small box and kissed her hand.. "I guess this is it..."
Chloe looked back at her dad who had his arms folded. "I guess so.. Bye."
Beca nodded. "Bye." Beca watched as they drive off and pulled out her phone. "Jess? I need you to come back over..."
Jess was knocking on the door a half an hour later with a small smile. "Sneaking out?"
Beca smirked. "I'm not sneaking out.." Beca grabbed her car keys. "Riley is asleep, so I guess you can go sleep too I just wanted someone she's familiar with here in case she wakes up."
Jess nodded. "Okay, you should get going before Chloe goes to sleep."
Beca smiled. "Thank Jess.." She walked out the door and quickly drove to Chloe's house. She walked to the backdoor and started trying to pick the lock. "Please don't have an alarm." Beca whispered to herself. When she heard the door click open she let out a sigh of relief and opened the door. She pulled up her hood and carefully walked through the house. She quietly gasped when she heard footsteps and hid, letting out a sigh of relief when she saw it was a half asleep Caleb going to the bathroom. She quietly walked to Chloe's room and turned the doorknob before walking inside and carefully closing it back. She walked to Chloe's bed and smiled seeing her asleep. Beca leaned down and pressed and gentle to kiss to her forehead. "I love you Chlo." Beca whispered.
Chloe started to stir from her sleep and her eyes widened when she saw a hooded figure hovering over her. "Oh my g-"
Beca put her hand over Chloe's mouth. "It's just me babe."
"Beca?" Chloe asked in confusion.
Beca smiled. "Sorry for showing up I just couldn't wait until tomorrow.. It was hard being around you all day but not really being around you."
Chloe leaned up. "How'd you get in here?"
"I picked the backdoor lock.." Beca said with a shrug.
Chloe's eyes widened. "Seriously?" Chloe asked in disbelief.
"Am I being crazy?"
"Alittle... I just didn't know you knew how to do that.."
Beca nodded. "I know how to do a lot of things I shouldn't know how to do, but if it means being able to get to you I will." Beca leaned down and kissed Chloe. "Do you wanna go for a late night drive with me?"
Chloe sighed. "I don't know if I should.."
Beca looked out Chloe's window. "I can get in your room through the window.. I'll keep that in mind next time."
Chloe laughed. "You are something else Beca.."
Beca smirked. "But in a good way."
Chloe nodded. "In the best way.." Chloe bit her lip in thought and then nodded. "I'll go with you but not for too long okay?"
"Of course, an hour at the most." Beca opened Chloe's window with a smirk. "Let's go my queen, your chariot awaits." Beca climbed down and helped Chloe as she climbed down. "How's if feel doing something you're not suppose to be doing?"
Chloe took a deep breath. "Right now the adrenaline in my blood is rushing and I feeling like running."
Beca laughed. "Come on, I parked my car a little further down the block."
When they reached the car Chloe looked at Beca with a smile. "I loved the necklace by the way, I didn't even know our picture was being taken."
Beca grinned. "That was the point, I knew our picture was gonna be taken on our date because I asked them to but I told them to do it randomly. It's something about the true emotion on our faces here, we're not smiling because someone with a camera told us to. I look at this picture and see that you love me one hundred percent."
Chloe frowned. "I should have gave you your present when you were in my room.."
Beca smiled. "I'll be back tomorrow afternoon so I can get it then.. Make sure you're in your room at three."
Chloe nodded. "I will."
They had been driving for about a half an hour, talking and laughing about things when Beca pulled up to her house. "So before I take you home, we're gonna stop here for a little... Don't worry about your family inside because we're going up there." Beca said pointing to the top of the house. Chloe nodded and got out of the car, grabbing her hand when they got to the front door. "Hopefully none of your family is roaming around."
They quietly walked through the house and up the stairs until they finally reached the roof of the house. Beca helped Chloe up and her eyes widened in amazement. "Wow, I feel really close to the stars up here.."
Beca nodded. "It's amazing right? Jess discovered it a few years ago and a lot has happened up here..." Beca walked over to the ledge. "I stood her three years ago and thought about jumping... I was gonna jump. Jess couldn't find me and thankfully she looked here because I think I would have jumped had she not come."
Chloe walked over to Beca and grabbed her hand. "Why?"
"I wasn't happy, it seemed like no one loved me.. I missed my mom." Beca said with tears in her eyes. "It was so selfish of me to do that though, I would have left Riley alone and broken.. more so than me."
Chloe pulled Beca away from the ledge and looked at her. "Why are you telling me this.."
"I tend to think without my head and I just want you to know that... I sometimes do things not because I don't care but because my brain hasn't caught up with my actions to tell me to stop. I tend to lash out sometimes."
Chloe nodded. "Are you afraid something bad is gonna happen with something?"
Beca shrugged. "I handled the whole thing with your parents well, I didn't do anything.. But I don't know if I'll have that much self control next time, I mean I wouldn't hurt them or anything but... I don't know I'm angry and I love you and they don't want us together anymore."
Chloe kissed Beca. "Babe everything will be fine and if I notice you starting to lose yourself or anything I'll do something okay?"
Beca nodded with a small smile. "Sorry for turning things so serious, I just thought that was something else you should know."
"Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to tell me.." Chloe said with a smile. "I love you Beca, no matter what."
Beca grinned and peaked Chloe on the lips. "I love you too." She looked at the time and sighed. "I guess I should be getting you home now." They quietly made their way back downstairs and to Beca's car. "After you." Beca said with a smile as she opened the car door for Chloe.
"Thank you." Chloe said with a wink as she got in the car.
The car ride back to Chloe's house was filled with smiles, laughter, and quick glances at each other. Beca groaned as she parked her car a few houses away from Chloe's. "This is where our happiness ends.."
Chloe leaned over and kissed Beca. "Only until I see you again, and I'm getting my phone back before my parents leave tomorrow, I'll save your number under a different name and we're can talk all you want..."
Beca smiled. "Suddenly feeling much better. Come on I'll help you get back to your room." Beca was pushing Chloe up and through the window with a smirk. "I gotta say, I fucking love the few from down here."
Chloe giggled. "Shut up! And push harder.."
"Oh what I wouldn't give to hear you say that under different circumstances.." She pushed Chloe through the window and into her room, following shortly behind."
Chloe smiled and kissed Beca pulling her towards the bed. "Push harder." She said with a grin."
Beca smirked and pushed Chloe onto the bed before climbing on top of her and kissing her. "That's more like it." Beca said as she lifted Chloe's shirt up and started kissing her stomach. "Think you can stay quiet?" Beca asked as she unbuttoned Chloe's pants.
Chloe bit her lip and nodded. "I-"
"Chloe.. Can I sleep with you?" They heard a little voice ask.
Chloe's eyes widened and she quickly pulled the covers over her and Beca. "Caleb what's wrong?"
"I can't sleep." He said as he climbed on the bed.
Chloe sighed. "Now really isn't the best time Cal..."
Caleb looked at Chloe with a small frown. "Why is there a lump on top of you?" He pulled the sheet back and his eyes widened at seeing Beca. "What are you doing in there?"
Beca smiled. "I was just saying good night to Chloe... Can you not tell your parents that I was here?"
Caleb nodded. "Thank you for the bike Beca, I love it!"
"No problem kid..."
Chloe looked at Caleb with a small smile. "Could you get me some water? I'm a little thirsty.."
Caleb smiled with a nod and walked out of the room.
Beca let out a sigh of relief. "Man that was close... I guess I should head home now."
Chloe nodded and walked Beca to the window. "Be careful." She kissed Beca with a smile. "I love you."
Beca grinned. "I love you too." She gave Chloe a quick kiss before making her way out the window. "Goodnight."
Chloe looked out the window and waved to Beca. "Goodnight."
Caleb walked back in the room with the water. "Where did Beca go?"
"She left now come on, we've got to talk about how you need to knock before coming into my room." She said as they laid in the bed.
