It was a typical Saturday night in the Bella house.
Most of the girls were out partying, or doing... other things. Beca does not really want to think about that. Especially not since her roommate, Amy, had just given her a graphic description of what she planned to do with Bumper tonight. Beca shudders inwardly.
She is currently sitting at the bar in the kitchen, reading about a new mixing software program that was coming out soon. Her headphones are around her neck, playing music quietly. She had slipped them off to concentrate on the article, but didn't want to turn the music off as she read.
It's good that she had taken them off, though, because she hears the front door open and close quietly.
Soon enough, Beca's favorite Bella walks into the kitchen and flashes her a smile.
"Hey Bec, whatcha working on?" Chloe asks, opening the refrigerator and retrieving some sort of alcoholic drink from it. She closes it and walks over to the counter where Beca is sitting.
"Just reading something." She replies, eyes still glued to the screen.
"Oh yeah? It sounds captivating." Chloe teases, sipping the pink liquid.
Beca finally looks up and smirks. "Oh, it is. It's an article about that new program I told you about."
Chloe leans over the counter and looks at Beca's screen.
"Oh! When is it going to be released again?"
"Next month sometime. I think I'm going to buy it."
Chloe laughs. "You're like a kid in a candy store, Bec."
Beca rolls her eyes. "So what are you doing here?"
She feigns offense. "Oh, I see how it is. I can tell I'm not wanted here." She sets her drink down, prepared to fake a dramatic exit.
Beca starts laughing. "Okay, that was not an Oscar-worthy performance."
Chloe smiles. "Oh, no?"
"Definitely not." She agrees, shaking her head in amusement. "Actually though, I meant that I thought you were going to that party tonight?"
Chloe shrugs. "Not really in the mood for that tonight. I'd rather spend the evening with you. But, since you're so interested in that article.."
Beca closes the lid of her computer. "That can wait. What would you like to do?"
"Oh.. I didn't have anything in mind, really.." Chloe says, sipping her drink and staring at Beca.
Beca raises an eyebrow and smiles. "I'm sure that's 100% true."
Chloe laughs. "101 Dalmatians and strawberry daiquiris?"
"That actually sounds really good. Do we have the stuff for daiquiris?"
Chloe produces a bag from the freezer and a bottle of liquor from the cabinet. "This is the Bella household. We have alcoholic drink ingredients, like, 25/8.
Beca stands up from her seat, cracking up at Chloe's antics. "Okay, though I'm pretty sure it's 24/7." She winks, and Chloe laughs. "Let's make some drinks."
They spend a while in the kitchen, blending up drinks and making popcorn.
It's only 9:00 PM by the time they finish. Usually, no one returns to the house until around 2:00 AM, so they decide to crash in the living room.
"So why this movie, exactly?" Beca teases, watching Chloe pop the disk into the DVD player.
"I haven't seen it in forever!"
"Honestly, me either, but.." She teases again.
Chloe turns around and sticks her tongue out at Beca playfully. "Get over it. You're gonna watch this and you're gonna like it."
She walks back to the couch where Beca is sitting and plops down next to her. Beca tosses a throw blanket over their legs as the previews play through.
About 45 minutes into the movie, Chloe rests her head on Beca's shoulder. Beca wraps her arm around Chloe in response without missing a beat.
She turns her gaze from the movie, which she isn't paying much attention to anyway, to the gorgeous redhead cuddled up against her.
She's had feelings for Chloe for quite some time now. So long, actually, that she doesn't really remember when she started to like her as more than a friend.
Beca has just never acted on these feelings.
She's broken out of her thoughts by the voice of her co-captain and crush.
"Bec, you know the screen is in front of us, right?"
Beca turns red and laughs. "Yeah Chlo, but I like this view a lot more." She says smoothly, hoping that Chloe would take the subtle hint without being weirded out.
Chloe turns and looks at her. "Oh really?" She replies, after a few moments.
"Mhmm." Beca hums, still looking at Chloe with a small smile.
Chloe brings one hand up and places it on the side of Beca's neck, gently pulling her face down to meet her own.
She hesitates for a second, and Beca takes the initiative, kissing Chloe for the first time ever.
She kisses back.
They break apart after what feels like much too soon, and look at each other.
"Hey, so, I like you." Beca says, nonchalantly.
"Hey, so, I like you too." Chloe says, in the same tone, smiling.
"Well, what should we do about that?" Beca says, raising an eyebrow and grinning.
"I think you ought to take me out first." Chloe teases.
Beca kisses her again, this time a little longer and a little more heated than the first.
"On second thought," Chloe says, "we could just skip that and go straight to making out on the couch."
"I was hoping you would say that." Beca replies.
They spend the rest of the night kissing each other and talking, not paying attention to the movie at all.
They also don't pay attention when the front door opens and Stacie walks in, takes a picture, captions it "FINALLY," and sends it to the group text.
