A/N: Thank you for the nice and encouraging reviews. When I first started writing this I thought it would maybe be 15 chapters, but now I'm at 17 and have lots more planned. Its mentioned in this chapter, so if you haven't seen the movie "Boys and Girls" with Freddie Prinze Jr. you totally should! Hope you enjoy this chapter! :)

Also, we'll be heading back to Barden soon, so let me know if you'd like me to add more fun stuff with all the Bellas or focus on Bechloe with the others just on the side like I have been. Thank you!

Chapter 17: Cool For The Summer

Beca and Chloe texted each other everyday and even facetimed when Beca had trouble sleeping. They were realizing how much they needed each other and it was almost physically painful for them to be apart by the third week of summer. Luckily, it was time for the DJ competition in Miami.

Beca was the first to arrive at the hotel. It was 8:30am and she was surprisingly not too tired after an early morning flight. Chloe was driving from her parents' house in Sarasota, so Beca figured it would be a bit longer before Chloe showed up. Beca was preparing her music at the table, feeling her nerves start to get the best of her. She really wished she could've gotten here a day before the competition to relax a bit more, but she couldn't afford it. As she was fidgeting with some buttons she saw her phone light up with Chloe's face appearing on the screen. She couldn't help but smile widely.

"What's up, weirdo!" Beca grabbed the phone and stood up.

"Come get me, loser."

"Where you at?"

"Outside your hotel. At least I think its your hotel, there's a bunch around here so I wasn't 100% sure."

"Be down in a sec!" Beca tried to hide her excitement as she jogged out of the room to go find Chloe.

She walked outside and saw Chloe leaning against her car, looking around for the brunette. As soon as Chloe saw Beca walk through the lobby doors she took off in a sprint and nearly tackled Beca to the ground.

"I missed you!" Chloe swayed back and forth as her arms squeezed Beca tightly.

"I missed you too, dude. But you gotta let me breathe." Beca laughed as Chloe took a step back. "Need any help with bags?"

"We're only staying one night, Becs. I'm not that big of a princess." Chloe rolled her eyes. "And knowing you, I bet you had three bags just for your music stuff."

"Shows what you know, it was only two." Beca stuck out her tongue.

Once Chloe got settled into the room, she checked her phone. "So how long until the competition?"

"Five hours, twenty-two minutes." Beca replied.

"Nervous, huh?" Chloe grinned.

"I'm going to be so shaky up there, I'm going to ruin my whole performance."

"No, you won't. Just look up and find me and I'll be cheering you on and dancing. You can just pretend we're back in the backyard at the Bella house, not at some big competition."

"I'm really glad you came too. I'd probably end up backing out."

"I'm totes excited I came too."

Beca just grinned dumbly before she felt a pull in her back. She grimaced and reached behind her to rub at the sore spot.

"What was that?" Chloe stepped closer, eyeing her with concern.

"I slept on the plane funny and my back is killing me and my neck is all stiff. Watch, I'm going to have a spasm in the middle of my performance and ruin it." Beca tried to roll her neck around.

"First of all, stop doubting yourself. Secondly, I can give you a massage." Chloe suggested, hoping she wouldn't freak Beca out.

"Maybe just a soak in the hot tub will do the trick." Beca gulped.

"That doesn't work as well." Chloe playfully scoffed.

"It's vacation. I don't want to make you give me a massage on our one day here. Let's go grab some food or something." Beca started to walk by Chloe, when Chloe reached out and snatched her forearm.

"Why won't you just let me help you?" Chloe gave her that look she had perfected over the year that made Beca incapable of saying no.

"Fine." Beca let out an exasperated sigh. "Just…"

"What?" Chloe grinned as she grabbed Beca by the shoulders to spin her around towards her bed.

"Don't break a rib or something." Beca plopped down on the mattress.

"You're so dramatic." Chloe rolled her eyes walking behind Beca and climbing on the bed behind her. She sat on her knees, while Beca sat with her legs folded underneath her. Chloe situated herself and cracked her knuckles. She gently placed her hands on Beca's neck and dug her thumbs into the muscles on the sides.

"Geez." She whispered involuntary. "You are stiff." Beca just rolled her eyes.

"Saw that." Chloe narrowed her own as she caught Beca's attention in the mirror across from them. They both laughed a little and Beca relaxed a bit more as Chloe kept kneading her thumbs and palms into the knots in her neck. Her hands slowly moved to Beca's shoulders. She squeezed as hard as she could, trying to make the muscles loosen up. She inched closer as her hands trailed down Beca's back. It felt like there were a bunch of small rocks lodged in the brunette's back.

"I had no idea you were so tense about this DJ competition." Chloe mumbled.

'It was the flight." Beca sat straighter when Chloe hit a sensitive spot.

"Its actually easier to get these knots out if you lie down." Chloe hesitated, not wanting to make Beca uncomfortable.

"Alright." Beca's voice was soft as she positioned herself to lie on her stomach. Chloe scooted back and grabbed a pillow to slide under Beca's arms by her head. Once Beca got comfortable Chloe slowly inched forward and lifted a knee to cross Beca's back so she was straddling her. She took a deep breath, hoping this wasn't weird.

"Should I take my shirt off?" Beca asked into the pillow. Chloe froze, not sure if Beca was just being sarcastic. "It's fine, I have a sports bra underneath." Beca reiterated.

"Yeah, that would be better." Chloe nodded, hoping Beca didn't see her nervousness in the mirror. Beca reached behind her and pulled her shirt but it got stuck as she tried to pull it over her head because she was in an awkward position. Chloe stifled a giggled and leaned forward.

"Here, let me help you out." She grabbed the bottom of the shirt and they both paused. They both remembered the last time that phrase was whispered between the two of them in the last hotel they were in. Chloe shook it off and quickly slid the shirt over Beca's head.

"Kay." She sat back and started pushing gently into Beca's lower back with her thumbs. She would push hard with all her body weight, getting pained groans from Beca and would retreat with gentle strokes to ease the discomfort.

Beca gripped tightly to the pillow, trying not to think about the redhead straddling her back and leaning close when she would work out specific knots. Her heart was racing and hope Chloe couldn't notice. At one point she felt Chloe's hands soften and graze over Beca's tattoos.

"I like your tattoos." Chloe whispered.

"Thanks." Beca's voice was muffled as she spoke into the pillow.

"How's your back feel now?" Chloe leaned back. Beca sat up a little bit and twisted.

"Holy cow. That's so much better!" She spun around, smiling at Chloe. After a moment they realized with Beca's spin, Chloe was straddling her from the front. Before anything could get awkward, Chloe jumped off the bed.

"Okay!" She put her hands on her hips. "I think you're much more prepared for that competition tonight.

"Yeah, for sure." Beca grabbed her shirt and quickly put it back on. "Thanks, Chlo."

"Totes." Chloe nodded quickly. "How about we go grab some food, hmm? I'm starving."

"Sounds awesome." Beca agreed and they quickly left the hotel to see Miami, ignoring the quick but very intensely awkward moment.

It was time for the competition and Beca reluctantly left Chloe as she went backstage to get ready for her performance. The club was packed with people who were thoroughly enjoying the different DJ styles. Chloe slowly sipped on her drink, trying to keep it slow since it was only the afternoon. Then she saw Beca slide into the DJ booth and she couldn't help but smile seeing Beca in her element. Beca was clearly nervous as she looked up into the crowd. Her eyes finally found Chloe who gave her a thumbs up. Beca smiled, took a deep breath and put the headphones over her ears.

Her hands moved around the board with lightning speed as she started her mixes. She had a couple Pink songs, Fall Out Boy, Taylor Swift (for Chloe), and Imagine Dragons; and even threw in a couple of classic rock mashups. It was an odd combo but the songs meshed well together, especially with Beca's unique spin on them.

Chloe danced casually by herself, thoroughly impressed by the brunette's work, and proud that the rest of the club seemed to be equally enjoying it. Beca finished her performance which was the allotted six minutes, but felt like thirty seconds. She stood up to loud applause and she bashfully waved to the crowd before hurrying off the stage.

She hurried over to Chloe and looked positively giddy. Chloe smiled brightly back as Beca grabbed her by the arms.

"Dude, that was awesome!"

"You were amazing." Chloe wrapped her arms around her favorite DJ.

"I've never felt such a rush. Thank you so much for setting this up for me. I never would've done this on my own."

"You are so welcome, Becs. I'm so proud of you."

They watched the rest of the performances and danced together some. But Beca was actually studying. She was paying attention to the different things other DJs did and learning new stuff she might be able to add to her own work. By the time the last performer was finished Beca felt like she had just finished a whole class on being a DJ which was more valuable than any hour she spent in a college class.

Chloe intertwined their fingers as the announcement for the top three were announced. Beca didn't win, but she was one of the two honorable mentions out of twenty DJs. There wasn't any prize associated with honorable mention, but Beca truly didn't care.

"I'm sorry you didn't make the top three, Becs." Chloe felt bad and being biased, thought the judges made a mistake.

"Dude, I don't even care!" Beca smiled widely. "This was awesome anyway. And I mean some of those DJs have been doing this a long time and have a lot of skill. I'm really happy with honorable mention. And I'm even happier being here with you."

"Aw." Chloe squeezed her hand.

"So, there's this other club I wanted to take you to. I looked it up and its like that club from the movie you like." Beca snapped her fingers trying to remember. "Freddie Prinz Jr. is in it, and like he keeps meeting up with that girl through the years, and-"

"Oh! Boys and Girls!" Chloe smiled, glad Beca remembered it was one of her favorite movies.

"Yeah! So they do the whole mosh pit thing basically and you get sprayed with this colorful stuff. It might end up being disgusting, but we can always go back to the hotel and shower if it sucks."

"That sounds totes awes!" Chloe squealed and bounced in place.

"Cool." Beca smiled widely making Chloe that happy. She took a deep breath and looked around, trying to soak in the memory of this competition. "Alright let's go."

They walked the streets of Miami as the sun was setting. They opted for walking than taking an uber. Chloe hesitated about ten minutes into their walk, but ended up sliding her hand into Beca's. She was relieved when Beca didn't flinch or pull or away. She even squeezed her hand in return. She felt silly for getting butterflies just holding Beca's hand. She was also nervous, she wasn't sure if she should be letting herself feel this way for Beca knowing it probably won't be reciprocated.

"Ah, here it is." Beca stops in front of a dark building that has stairs that lead to the club below street level.

"90 below." Chloe squinted her eyes at the neon sign.

"I read its named that because they only play music from the 90s or earlier...and an added pun is its below street level." Beca smirked.

"You're such a nerd!" Chloe giggled.

"Eh, but you love me." Beca was surprised by her own words. Usually Chloe was the one to say things like that.

"Yeah...I really do." Chloe smiled sweetly, being careful not to hold their eye contact too long. "Let's go." Still holding onto Beca's hand she led them down into the club.

The two girls sat at one of the few tables near the bar, sizing up the club as well as its occupants. Beca was still coming off her high from the DJ competition so she didn't hesitate to finish her drink and nudge Chloe's shoulder.

"Ready to dance and get wet?" She flinched when she heard the words that came out of her mouth. Chloe nearly spit out her drink as she laughed.

"Wow, Beca." Chloe's face was turning red as she couldn't control her laughter.

"You know what I meant." Beca rolled her eyes, failing in trying to stop smiling.

"Yeah I'm ready to...dance." Chloe bit her lip trying to stop laughing.

"Alright come on weirdo." Beca grinned as she led Chloe close to the stage where the crowd was a mix of happy clubbers covered in colorful...paint? Beca wasn't sure what it was. The two sides of the stage were had dance partners split. Chloe nodded to the one she was going to. Beca held out her fist for a fist bump.

"These losers don't know the awesomeness that's about to hit 'em."

"I like it when you're confident." Chloe bumped her first and twirled away to climb to her side of the stage.

"Whoomp There It Is" started playing and Beca just shook her head. She already loved this club and wished there was one back near Barden. Chloe was taking in the surroundings, figuring out quickly how the couples were dancing together. Beca's side started dancing first. And Chloe watched happily as Beca danced next to several others. Beca was by far a better dancer. Then there was a noise on the stage, signaling it was Chloe's side to start dancing. Chloe jogged over, close to Beca and started pulling out some of her basic go-to dance moves that were still pretty impressive. People started noticing how good the two of them were.

When Beca's turn came the water sprayed from the ceiling, startling her at first. Chloe beamed as she looked from herself to Beca as they were now covered in colors. They kept dancing to a few more songs, unbothered by people staring at them when they'd dance up on each other with mini routines they've had since Chloe started training Beca to dance for the Bellas. Finally, Beca grabbed Chloe around the waist and half-screamed in her ear so she could here, "I'm exhausted, let's get a drink?"

"Yeah!" Chloe nodded and helped guide Beca off the stage.

Beca marched up to the bar to order their drinks and the bartender nodded in approval.

"I saw you two dancing up there! Very impressive. You're a cute couple."

"Oh, thanks." Beca glanced awkwardly at Chloe. "We're not a couple, though. Just friends."

"Really good friends." Chloe added, staring into Beca's eyes while the bartender made the drinks. Beca couldn't look away and Chloe felt her body leaning in closer as she used all her energy to restrain from kissing Beca right there. The bartender looked between the two of them with a goofy grin on his face.

"Well, here's your drinks!" He slid them over, interrupting their trance.

"Thanks!" Beca exhaled heavily and followed Chloe back to a table. "I'll be right back." Beca nodded her head at the bathroom. Chloe sat by herself for a moment before a guy came over and rested his hand on her back. She flinched at the touch and jumped from her seat.

"Hey, gorgeous." He leaned in close to her ear and she took a step back.

"Hello." She crossed her arms, indicating she wasn't interested.

"You are a super sexy dancer. Who's the idiot who left you here alone?" He reached to brush her hair behind her ear. She shook her head away from his touch.

"She's coming right back."

"She? That's hot." He smirked as he snuck a hand down to grab Chloe's butt. "How come you let me fuck the gay right out of you. Bet whoever she is couldn't measure up." Chloe just rolled her eyes, until she froze hearing Beca's voice.

"Get your slimy hand off her." Beca stepped an inch in front of Chloe. Her left fist was clenched and Chloe saw where it was headed.

"And who are you?"

"I'm her girlfriend, dumbass." Beca gritted her teeth. Chloe couldn't help but glance at her in surprise.

"And a midget, too?" His laughter boomed. "Damn, ginger you got low standards."

"Say something else." Beca stepped forward, giving him a chance. But her blood was boiling and she was ready to throw a punch.

"Hey, Becs. Ignore him." Chloe placed a hand on Beca's back.

"She got you whipped, lesbo?" He smirked, hoping he'd get a reaction out of Beca. Beca made a move to punch him, when she felt Chloe's hands grab her wrists.

"Just ignore him, babe." Chloe whispered, quickly pulling her in for a kiss and Beca stumbled forward, barely registering the fact they were kissing as her hands relaxed to wrap around Chloe's waist. Chloe heard the jerk mumble something and walk away. Chloe was surprised by her own actions as she felt a bolt of electricity shoot through her body. She didn't realize just how bad she missed that. She put her hands on Beca's cheek and kissed her just a second longer before pulling away, hoping it didn't freak Beca out.

"I'm sorry!" Chloe said breathlessly taking a step back. "I just didn't want you to get in another fight. And I just wanted him to leave. Sorry. You okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah, its totally okay." Beca ran a hand through her hair. "Good save. I almost ruined our whole day."

"Defending me isn't exactly ruining a day." Chloe sighed as she sat back in her chair.

"Yeah, but your way worked out better." Beca smirked as she sat across from her. "So...back to enjoying our night?" She raised her glass in a toast.

"Totes." Chloe smiled as she clinked glasses.

They stayed for a couple more hours. They danced, drank, and laughed more than they had in a long time. Beca was convinced it was one of the best days/nights of her life. They called an uber to get back to the hotel before midnight. Beca wisely chose an afternoon flight for her return trip home, so she didn't have to worry about flying with a bad hangover.

Once they got back to the hotel they couldn't wait to get showered and get the club paint off. Chloe insisted Beca go first, resisting the urge to make a joke about conserving energy and showering together.

"Do you want to watch that movie?" Beca looked up from her laptop when Chloe came out of the bathroom. "I'm still pretty wired from today so I'm not that sleepy."

"Which movie?" Chloe tilted her head. Beca reached into her bag and pulled out 'Boys and Girls.'

"This one?" Beca waved it in the air.

"You have that movie?!" Chloe's mouth dropped open.

"Well I bought it back home to bring in case we had time to kill in the hotel." Beca shrugged sheepishly.

"OMG, totes! I can't believe you're going to watch a chick flick with me! I'm so excited." Chloe clapped her hands as she scurried around the room to change into PJs. "Okay, you go get some snacks. And I actually brought some of your favorite beer in case we had some time to kill in the hotel." She opened the fridge to proudly show Beca where she had snuck the beer.

"Dude!" Beca grinned. "We are awesome." She gave Chloe a high five as she grabbed the hotel key to go grab some vending machine snacks.

The movie was nearing its end and Chloe's head rested on Beca's shoulder as they sat under the sheets with the laptop in between them. Beca squirmed awkwardly as it got to Ryan's big speech by the Golden Gate bridge. She felt Chloe slowly take her head off her shoulder and lean against the headboard instead.

Ryan: "But being with you is like going to a place I've never been before. And after you fell asleep I just laid there staring up at those cheap fluorescent stars you have stuck on your ceiling and after awhile they just started forming a pattern, a weird glow in the dark pattern that linked together our entire relationship. And for the first time everything seemed clear to me! Like one logical progression. It felt like you and I were the greatest plan ever made and I had nothing to do with it! Being with you made me feel that maybe I didn't have to keep planning anymore because it felt like I was actually LIVING. And for once in my life I wouldn't have to work so hard at being happy...that it could just happen. Nothing will ever hurt me as much as your reaction to that same experience."

Jennifer: "Ryan…"

Ryan: "What...WHAT? You wanna go hang out at the library and pretend like nothing happened?! I can't do that"

Beca felt so awkward and could see out of the corner of her eye Chloe wiping a tear from her eye. Beca closed her own, wishing that scene didn't remind them both of the terrible fight after their night together. She wasn't sure if Chloe wanted to be comforted or left alone. But Beca wanted to comfort. Without really thinking she wrapped a protective arm around Chloe and pulled her back close to her. She heard Chloe sniffle, but was relieved when Chloe relaxed back into her and returned her head to Beca's shoulder. They stayed that way until the movie was over.

Beca slowly removed her arm from around Chloe's shoulder, closed the laptop, and set it on the nightstand. Chloe was about to get up, but Beca wanted to stay there and talk.

"So tonight when that guy was trying to hit on you?" She took a deep breath. "It...I liked...it felt kinda nice when you called me babe." She stared at her hands, sensing Chloe's head turn to face her.

"It felt kinda nice when you said you were my girlfriend." Chloe replied back before she could realize the words were coming out of her mouth.

"It felt really nice kissing you." Beca's voice was barely above as whisper as she slowly turned her head to look Chloe in the eyes. Chloe swallowed hard, trying to keep her breathing steady. She saw Beca start to lean in and she gently placed her hand on Beca's shoulder.

"Becs…" Chloe looked down as her hand rested on Beca's shoulder. She bit her lip, trying not to cry. "We've been down this road before and it ended really terrible. I don't want to ruin things again." Chloe closed her eyes, just wishing that somehow she could get what she always wanted. And all she'd wanted since they met was Beca.

"I know…" Beca nodded, but didn't back away. "I've had time to process things and accept certain things about myself since then. And…" She bit down on her lip, silently screaming at herself to just get the words out. "And if you have it in your heart to give me a second chance. I...I'm ready this time."

"Ready?" Chloe could feel her heart racing and desperately tried to slow her breathing. Beca only stared back at her and nodded. Chloe had never seen Beca look at her with that much hope and fear at the same time.

"I've realized how good we are together. You make me feel like I'm a better version of myself with you. And I just want the chance to try and make you as happy as you make me. And I don't want to let anyone else to affect how I feel. Because what I feel...is that I just...I want to be with you and make you happy." Before she started rambling she reached over to grab Chloe's chin and pulled her in for a sweet but emotion-filled kiss. Chloe froze, letting Beca kiss her for a moment before resting her hand on Beca's which was on her cheek. Beca scooted forward to deepen the kiss, when Chloe carefully held her back.

"We can't go fast this time, Beca." She whispered as she tried to catch her breath. "If you're serious...we have to go slow. I just don't want what happened last time to happen again. To be completely honest with you, I kind of want you to prove yourself to me." She put a hand on her forehead, avoiding eye contact with Beca. "And I'm sorry if that sounds selfish, I just think its the smart thing."

"I agree, Chlo. And I don't think its selfish at all to express how you feel. How about…" Beca took a deep breath. "We keep texting each other every day like we do now, and then we'll meet in a few weeks at World's. And...I'll take you on a date in Italy."

"A date, huh?" Chloe couldn't help but start feeling the excitement in her chest.

"Yeah...and then we'll win world's and maybe share a kiss backstage in secret." She grinned as she looked at the floor. "And before we know it we'll be back at Barden. I'll take you on another date and we can you know...maybe hold hands and kiss and stuff."

"Hold hands and kiss and stuff?" Chloe let out a giggle, feeling the mood lighten but trying not to seem like she was mocking Beca. "You sure know how to sweep a girl off her feet."

"I heard how lame it sounded as soon as I said it." Beca closed her eyes and shook her head. "But, for real, Chloe. I know I messed up after Spring Break and you don't know how many times I've beat myself up about it. But I really do want to prove how much I want this to you. And I really want to take you on a date. And I really, really want to call you my girlfriend. And I really, really, really want to kiss you just because I can. And I maybe want to keep it a secret from the bellas because that might add to the fun."

"Oh, a secret romance?" Chloe felt her skin heat up thinking about sneaking around with Beca. "I kinda...think I feel the same." Her eyes turned up to look into Beca's.

"So…" Beca grinned and leaned in for a kiss.

"But first…" Chloe gently placed her hands up to block Beca from leaning in. "To be clear, I don't think we should have sex until we've had some time together. Make sure we're both 100% ready."

"Yeah." Beca nodded, feeling the familiar guilt of running away from Chloe after they slept together. "You're right."

"But I'm really happy, Becs. I think we can make each other really happy." Chloe absent mindedly started stroking Beca's arms, feeling content in those arms.

"Me too." Beca whispered. "Can I still at least kiss you?" It was her turn to flash the puppy dog eyes at Chloe, and Chloe felt her knees go weak wondering if this is how she made Beca feel when she would bat her eyelashes and pout.

"Kissing sounds good." Chloe's voice was low and she felt herself leaning in. Beca pulled her in for a passionate kiss and wrapped her hands around her waist. Chloe pushed back deepening the kiss. Beca's hands traveled up Chloe's back, holding her like if she let go she'd lose her. Chloe snatched Beca's cheeks and let out a moan as she explored her mouth with her tongue.

They were in the middle of an intense make out session when Chloe felt Beca's hand run along her thigh. After letting out another involuntary moan, she very reluctantly slid out of bed, surprising Beca, who stumbled forward on the bed before catching herself. Chloe grinned down at the brunette.

"And now we need to stop." Her face was flushed and her heart felt like it was about to beat out of her chest.

"Why?" Beca threw her head back and whined.

"Because if we don't stop now, I might not be able to." Chloe ran a frustrated hand through her hair. Beca let out a deep breath and fell back against the headboard.

"Alright, alright."

"I'm gonna go shower." Chloe smirked and planted a quick kiss on Beca's cheek before jogging to the bathroom.

"Leave some cold water for me…" Beca collapsed on the bed as she tried to slow her breathing.

After they both had their showers (Beca's lasted awhile as she sat under the cold water an extra ten minutes) they awkwardly got ready to sleep.

"Are you going to cuddle?" Beca smirked as she nodded to the spot next to her.

"I'm going to sleep in that bed." Chloe smirked right back and slid into the opposite bed.

"What if I can't sleep?" Beca rolled over to look at her.

"Then you can talk to me." Chloe rolled over and rested on her hands, looking back at Beca.

"But you're far away." Beca pouted, wishing she had the powers Cloe had to convince her to do stuff.

"Not that far." Chloe shrugged.

"You're actually turning down cuddles?" Beca flapped her hand in between the beds, playfully trying to reach Chloe.

"I am." Chloe swallowed hard, knowing there was nothing more she would like than to cuddle with Beca (okay, there might be one or two things she'd like better to do with Beca). But she was sticking to her guns.

"Are you saying you wouldn't be able to control yourself?" Beca winked.

"Goodnight, Beca." Chloe rolled over so she was looking at the ceiling. She hated when Beca would flirt and make her skin feel tingly.

"Goodnight, Chloe." Beca let out an exaggerated sigh and turned the light out.

After breakfast, and a restless night of sleep for both of them, it was time to leave Miami. Once again, Chloe was dropping Beca off at the airport.

"Text me when you land." Chloe smirked as she helped unload Beca's bags.

"Deja vu." Beca set her bags down, stepping a little closer.

"Except we didn't do this last time." Chloe put her hand behind Beca's neck and pulled her in for a kiss. Beca wrapped her in a hug, deepening the kiss. Chloe tried not to stumble back as they started kissing passionately in the airport drop-off area. She reluctantly grabbed Beca by her flannel shirt and made her take a step back.

"Wow." Beca exhaled. Chloe couldn't stop grinning, not even a little embarrassed by their PDA.

"Yeah."

"I'm going to miss you." Beca reached over and brushed Chloe's hair behind her ear.

"I'm going to miss you." Chloe held on to Beca's hand. Beca let out a heavy sigh as she grabbed her bags.

"Don't listen to too much Taylor Swift this summer, Beale."

"I make no promises, Mitchell." Chloe grinned as she watched Beca walk away. She jumped when a car behind her honked. She waved an apology and got back in the car, not knowing how she was going to be able to pass the time until Italy.
