A/N So is down right now, so I guess I'll try to pump out another chapter while I wait to upload the previous one. Here we go. Don't own the characters or songs or copyright stufffffff
Senior Dorms
Chloe reached her room and started scrambling to take her rehearsal clothes off. Now that Aubrey put it in her head, she couldn't keep her mind off of Jesse and Beca. She knew they were friends, they worked together, Beca enjoyed his company. And she knew that Jesse was in love with her, everybody knew that. Even Beca. Which made it all the more confusing. Beca had never shown any romantic feelings for him. At least not in her presence. Or Fat Amy's.
She quickly looked in the mirror at her naked body. How could Beca want to be with that scrawny, annoying, cocky ass, when she could have a smokin' hot ginger. Chloe gave herself a small wink before turning to head to Aubrey's closet. She would make sure that all Beca would ever be able to think about was her.
Flinging open the closet, she pulled out Aubrey's trench coat and slid it over her naked body, making sure to tie the waist tight. Cliché? Yes. Dorky? Yes. Irresistible? Yes. She looked around the room once more, checking to make sure that Aubrey didn't have a fedora anywhere. Not seeing one, she decided that might be too much anyway. Giving her hair once last toss in the mirror, she headed out towards Beca's.
Freshman Dorms
Chloe stood outside Beca's door for at least five minutes before gathering up the courage to knock. The whole walk over, as she passed the few people that were still up this late, she almost lost her nerve with every step. Chloe was crazy, but she was usually drunk crazy, or quirky crazy. She had never done anything like this sober, or without a guy egging her on. Once she took a deep breath and knocked on the door, she could hear voices inside.
Suddenly, the door opened and the voices got louder…and clearer. Or maybe clear wasn't the right word because it was definitely a foreign language. Beca slipped through the door and shut it behind her, looking sheepish. Chloe's heart immediately dropped as she started to speak.
"Hey, Chlo. So I guess uh, Kimmy-Jin and her friend decided to study here tonight. Apparently since they figured I was out all night, every night anyway, that it wouldn't be that big a deal." Beca looked down at the ground, unwilling to meet Chloe's eye. "I'm really sorry. I know that we were both looking forward to tonight. My roommate's a bitch"
Chloe laughed a bit and shook her head, crossing her arms over her chest that felt oh so bare under the trench coat. "It's not your fault. We can um, just reschedule for another night or something. I'm sure there will be some night that we can find a place to ourselves." She bit her lower lip and gently reached out to grab Beca's hand.
Their fingers quickly entwined and Beca couldn't help but smile as she pressed her body against Chloe's. She hadn't changed out of her rehearsal clothes, probably was too busy arguing with Kimmy-Jin. Chloe's face fell into Beca's hair, inhaling the sweet scent of her shampoo tinged with a little bit of sweat. It wasn't a bad scent, almost felt comforting.
Beca sighed softly then quickly pulled away as they heard voices coming from down the hall. Chloe let go of her hand and they smiled at the students passing through the hall. Once they left, Beca turned to Chloe and gave her a small smile. "Well, we might not have the room to ourselves, but how about I treat you to a cup of coffee or something?"
Chloe smiled and nodded. "That sounds really nice" Beca went to go back inside. "Just gotta grab my wallet" Once the door closed, Chloe's smile lingered for a couple seconds longer before the realization dawned over her. The trench coat. The stupid trench coat. Her stupidest idea ever. She looked around before looking down to adjust herself. What was she going to do? Admit how dorky she was to Beca, how she was going to dazzle her with her naked body? Or sit through an entire coffee date while wearing a trench coat with nothing underneath? When had her life turned into a sitcom?
The door opened and Beca slid out again, closing it shut hard behind her. Chloe could feel some of the passive aggressive tension slip out of the room. Beca gave a clearing breath and smiled up at Chloe. "Ready to go?"
Moment of truth. Chloe took a deep breath and nodded. "Mhmm, let's get going." She gestured for Beca to lead and once she was in front of her, Chloe tugged at the hem of the coat, making sure all her bits and pieces were covered before following.
Senior Dorms, Next Morning
"And so you were naked the entire time?! Under MY coat?!" Aubrey was unable to contain herself, crumbs of her breakfast sandwich flying out of her mouth as she laughed. "Oh my god, I'm going to have to burn that thing aren't I?"
Chloe was bright red and attempting to disappear into her latte. "Good lord, it was the most embarrassing thing. Having to convince her that I was cold, so I had to keep my coat on, but keeping her from touching me too much. It was a nightmare. I don't know how I made it without her knowing." She took a bite of her own sandwich as Aubrey shook her head.
"Good lord. Well I'm sorry you didn't get your special night. I know we're leaving for the competition tomorrow and its nonstop rehearsal til then, maybe you two will find a chance after that. I can stay somewhere else for a night" Aubrey finished her food and tossed it out as Chloe jumped up and gave Aubrey a quick hug and a squeal, despite her protests.
