Eleven months ago…
"I can't believe you've never played putt-putt before." Chloe said as she pulled into the parking lot of mini golf course.
"I've been here before but I always go to the batting cages while everyone else plays." Beca replied as they got out of the car. "Besides golf is kinda lame."
"Golf yes, but putt-putt is awesome." Chloe linked their arms together as they made their way to the entrance. "We used to come here all the time when I was a kid." They paid for their game and went to go pick out their clubs and golf ball. The redhead helped find a putter that was the right size for Beca. Normally the brunette wouldn't be caught dead in the course, but she was too excited to get to spend time with Chloe to care.
The pair got their score card and made their way to the first hole. "What's par three mean?"
"That is how many putts it's supposed to take for you to make the shot. Anything over that is a bogey." Chloe answered and looked at the green. "Don't worry, this one looks pretty easy. The holes get harder throughout the course. "I can go first if you want me to show you the proper stance?" She suggested and Beca held arm out, gesturing for her to go ahead. Beca stood in front of Chloe on the other side of the green so she could watch and learn. She should have been listening to Chloe her how to place her feet apart and so on, but Beca's eyes were glued to the generous amount of cleavage that was on display. Chloe's boobs seemed to pop out just a little bit more when she adjusted her stance and squeezed her arms together, getting ready to putt the ball. Beca saw that Chloe slightly moved and the brunette lifted her eyes to meet Chloe's lips. Shit. Her lips are moving, she's talking to you Beca! Snap out of it!
"Uh…what?" She shook her head, meeting Chloe's eyes. The redhead lifted a brow, grinning at the other girl.
"Did you hear anything I said?"
"Um, no." Beca answered with a grimace. "Sorry." She let her eyes fall down to Chloe's boobs again, only for a second, before looking Chloe in eyes again. Chloe smirked, catching on to what captured Beca's attention.
"Where you staring at my boobs?"
Beca's eyes widened at the accusation. "Wha…what, no!" She stammered out. Shit, she's going to think I'm a total creeper!
Chloe feigned a frown. "Are they not good enough for you stare at?" She questioned and Beca's eyes got even wider.
"What!? Of course th-" She stopped when she saw the grin on Chloe's face. "This is a trap."
Chloe smiled and walked closer to Beca. "I don't know what you're talking about." She pulled on Beca by the hem of her shirt, bringing her close. "It's ok, I guess my girlfriend can look every once in a while."
Beca beamed. "Girlfriend,huh?" They had been dating about a month but hadn't made anything official.
"Well I only let my girlfriend stare at my chest, so yeah." Chloe teased.
"Okay."
"Yeah?"
"Absolutely." Beca said and Chloe smiled before capturing the smaller girl into a heated kiss, feeling Beca smile into it. It wasn't until someone cleared their throat did they part. They smiled apologetically to the couple behind them before picking up Chloe's ball and moved on, not even bothering to finish the hole. "Well that was embarrassing." Beca said as they made it to the next hole.
Chloe laughed as she wrote on the scorecard. "We'll just say that was a three for both of us, since we didn't get to finish." She looked at Beca. "Okay show me what you got." The brunette sat the ball down and squared up, trying to remember how Chloe stood.
"Like this?"
"Yeah. Maybe bend your knees a little more." Chloe came up behind her, placing her hands on Beca's waist to square her up. "Good. Now don't swing it too hard, the club will do most of the work." She whispered in Beca's ear, sending shivers down Beca's spine. She kissed Beca's cheek before stepping back. The brunette took a deep breath, concentrating on the putt. She drew back and hit the ball, and sent it over the railing and onto the next green. Closer to that hole then the green they were on. Chloe busted up laughing. "I told you not to swing it very hard!"
"I didn't!" Beca laughed too, she loved making Chloe smile, even if it was at her own expense.
"You have to finesse it." While Beca ran to retrieve her ball, Chloe set up for hers. "Here let me show you."
Chloe laughed as she added up the score sheet as Beca went to get some quarters for the batting cages. "Okay, putt-putt is definitely not your game." She said once Beca came back.
"No kidding." Beca smiled as she lifted up the bat. "Now, something that doesn't require finesse." Chloe followed her and stood outside the cage. "Put this on." She handed her a helmet which Chloe put on. "You're adorable." Chloe smiled and Beca took out her phone real quick and took a picture of the redhead.
"Am I ready?"
"Yep, go for it." Chloe got into the cage and Beca put some money to start the machine. The first softball came out faster than what Chloe expected causing the girl to squeal as she swung the bat. She barely had time to recover before another ball was being shot out. She swung again, only hitting air. Beca chuckled at how cute her girlfriend was. After a few more balls that flew by without contact Beca stepped in the cage, pausing the machine.
"Why'd you stop it?" Chloe turned around, now determined to hit the damn ball.
"I'm just going to help you in your stance, you're kinda all over the place with it." She chuckled and stood behind the other girl. "Ok, your feet should about shoulder length apart." She said and waited until Chloe adjusted. "Good, now square your hips." Beca's hands went to her hips to line her up. "Good." Then she trailed up Chloe's waist and sides, making the other girl squirm. Chloe wasn't sure that learning how to hit a ball could be so hot as Beca spoke into her ear. "Lift your arm a little more."
"Your voice is sexy." Chloe hummed, turning her head slightly to look at the other girl. "You're kind of turning me on right now." Beca smiled, their lips only a few inches apart.
"Good to know." The brunette leaned forward brushing over Chloe's lips when a loud noise hit against the fence, making them jump apart. They looked over to see a probably eight to ten year old boy throw his helmet against the fence as his parents told him it was time to go. Beca glared at him, making Chloe laugh.
"Ok show me again, I really want to hit one of these." With the moment ruined, Beca lined her up again. She stepped back once Chloe's stance was ready.
"Okay, now just keep your eye on the ball and hit the fuck out of it." She went to the machine putting a few more quarters in then started it. The first pitch Chloe swung getting just a piece of it fouling it off, still a little bit behind the ball. She squealed in excitement before Beca grabbed her attention. "Chloe, get ready it's coming again. Swing a little sooner next time."
Chloe didn't get anything the next two balls but then was able to make contact on the third, actually hitting it pretty good. After that, she was able to finish the rest of the round making contact with every ball. Once she was done she turned around with a huge smile on her face.
"That was awesome!"
"You were actually really good." Beca said, quite impressed. Chloe took her helmet off then wrapped her arms around Beca shoulders.
"Yeah, well I had a good teacher."
Present day…
After Mrs. Grandel introduced Chloe, Miss Beale to the students, the teacher left the room to let the redhead introduced herself. "Hello, I'm glad to be here for the next five months. If you haven't had me as a substitute before my name is first name is Chloe." She stated, she appeared confident but Beca saw that she had her thumbs tucked between her pointer and middle finger. Something Chloe did when she was nervous. "Just a little bit about me, I'm a junior at Barden U. I am majoring in education, so this is going to be great experience. I'm sure we'll-"
"You're really hot." One of the guys in the class interrupted. "We should totally go out sometime." Some of the other guys chuckled and Beca rolled her eyes, internally fuming. Whatever, I don't care.
"Leave her alone, douchebag." Shit, why did I say that? Chloe felt her heart skip a beat at Beca's protectiveness. She looked over at Beca with a small grin while Beca seemed to chastising herself for the comment.
"Shut up Beca." He turned his attention to the brunette. "She's out of your league." If you only knew. Beca smirked.
"What's your name?" Chloe asked as she stood in front of him.
He smiled charmingly, well what he thought was charming, and leaned back in his chair. "Chris."
"Well Chris." She leaned down, putting her hands on his desk. "Talk to me like that again and you will not be in this class." She stood back up and started to walk away but then looked over her shoulder. "And a word of advice, you should probably ease up on the axe body spray. Pretty sure you're going to make your classmates pass out from the fumes." She said then sneaked a peak at Beca, who know wore a smirk as Chris' buddies gave him a hard time.
