Beca woke up to a wave of red curls splayed across her neck and chest. Wiping a few strands of sweat matted hair from her temples Beca smiled from ear to ear. Totes on cloud nine right now. In fact if it didn't mean waking Chloe the other girl would break out in song and dance right this second.
Chlo looked so peaceful. Beca could see the gentle rise and fall of her chest. It killed her to shift her position ever so slightly but she needed to know the time.
"Nrrgl," Chloe mumbled as she squeezed Beca tighter.
Beca laughed. "Easy. I'm not going anywhere," she whispered just in time to catch a glimpse of the time.
3:30.
Beca tried to stretch.
"Nrrgl," Chloe mumbled a little louder this time.
"Nrrgl? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?" Beca asked.
Chloe yawned. Then eased up on the tight cuddling.
"I was trying to say 'never let go'," she lifted her head so her eyes could meet Beca.
"Quoting Titanic on me, Beale?"
Chloe rolled over on her back. "So you have seen that movie? I knew it." She chuckled.
"Everyone's seen Titanic." She quickly confessed.
"Suuuure," Chloe teased.
"How long were we out?" Beca asked.
"Probably half an hour," Chloe smiled.
"Well I did ask you to deliver me to heaven's gate. I think the other Bellas heard us Nrrgl-ing though."
"I always deliver Beca," Chloe feigned offense. "But yeah they totes heard us nrrgl-ing," she used finger quotes on the last word.
The two of them laid side by side. Sharing comfortable silence for a couple minutes. Beca wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. This had gone back to being the best night of her life.
Chloe rolled over on her side to face Beca. The redhead propped her head in her hand then rested her elbow on the mattress. "So did Jesse ever fuck you like that?"
Beca's mouth was agape at the other woman's audacity. She couldn't help but smirk.
"I don't kiss and tell," she said.
"Oh whatever!" Chloe rolled her eyes. "So what are we going to do?"
"'Bout what?" Beca shrugged.
"This," she motioned her finger between the two of them. "Us."
"Dunno. Maybe this makes you my girlfriend."
"If I'm your girlfriend that means we get to go on dates!"
"Would you like to go on dates with me Chloe?" Beca asked, half serious.
"I don't know. I'll think about it."
Beca furrowed her eyebrows, pretending to be upset.
Chloe cackled. "Of course I'll go on dates with you baby." She leaned over to kiss Beca on the lips.
"Good. I was worried I'd never find someone to go to see Demetri Martin with."
"Who?" Chloe asked.
"Oh. He's a comedian. Got lots of weird quirky jokes. You'd like him I promise."
"As long as I get to spend time with you, I'm never short on fun."
Beca smiled. Leaning over she pressed a lingering kiss on Chloe's lips. This time she rolled over to be the big spoon as both women happily drifted off to sleep.
The next morning the Bellas wheeled their suitcases out of the hotel. Their transport had arrived bright and early. Naturally Beca wanted to sit next to Chloe and curl up into the girl on their way to the hangar.
It was a cute sight to behold. Beca resting up against Chloe as they watch something on the redhead's phone.
Amy had to break the ice.
"Hey short stack."
Beca looked up.
"Thanks for letting us know ginger is a natural redhead." Most of the Bellas covered their mouths with their hands in a failed attempt to cover up the fact that they were laughing.
"Oh my god," Beca hung her head down. "Yup I'm never living this down." Even Chloe that traitor was on the verge of falling over from side splitting laughter. It was going to be a long ride.
"Hey we need to talk," Chloe pulled Beca to the side as the other Bellas were boarding the plane.
"Chlo. What's wrong."
"I got a call from the vet school. I can't transfer until I actually start the classes. Even though I'm already enrolled."
"What kind of bullshit is this Chloe? I'm leaving for Miami in two weeks."
"I know Becs. I'm scared too."
Beca sighed. "Know what? I don't care. I'll drive to New York and see you on the weekends if I have to."
"Beca. I can fly to Miami."
"Not a chance Beale. You need to study, and flying back and forth will leave you drained."
"So what do we do? You don't start for another eight weeks."
Chloe chewed on her bottom lip. She was weighing her options. Getting out of their lease wouldn't be a problem, and by the time she transfers schools Beca will have found a place to live, which by extension means Chloe can go right ahead and move in with her.
The long distance would be a challenge. After all it's what did Jesse and Beca's relationship in, but Chloe knew this time it was different, and well...temporary. They'd find a way to be together then they'd embark on the next chapter of their lives together.
"We'll figure it out," Chloe smiled.
"You sure?" Beca asked
"Positive." They both stared at the plane. It was time to get going.
"I'll go save you a seat." Beca smiled then leaned forward to connect her's and Chloe's lips together. The redhead nodded and Beca headed off towards the plane. Theo met up with her as they discussed the terms of Beca's contract, and hopefully laid down some boundaries
"You love her don't you," Aubrey said as she walked up to Chloe.
"I do," Chloe sighed dreamily.
"Just when I thought I was finally free of that little pain in my ass," Aubrey said.
All Chloe could do is smile as her and Aubrey made her way towards the plane.
"So tell me Chloe, is Beca a top?"
Chloe laughed. "Oh my god Bree." Then she looked around to make sure there were no witnesses. "Total switch," she confessed. Both women smirked before they made their way down the aisle.
Chloe joined her girlfriend. Bound for new adventures as they trudged through the waters of their new relationship. It's going to be rough at first. But Chloe Beale knows they'll make it. They're one of those couples that's destined to.
A/N: Hey everyone!
Hope you liked this. Please give me critical feedback. I tried so hard for this to be perfect. I feel like my prose is way too robotic and lifeless. I also suck at writing intimacy so please let me know how it went. I'm stressing out big time.
Thank you!
