"You've got to be kidding me!" Beca smiles at the thought of Beth's partner, the latter looks at CR who high-five her partner when the taller brunette sits on the sofa. She then looks at Chloe who is shock to know that her wife is her partner.
"So red, Beca's your partner, are you ready to lose?" Amy asks her, she looks at Beca who is smiling at her "Don't you worry my love; I'm the queen of charades! We're going to beat them!"
Stacie and Chloe looks at each other, Aubrey, Amy and CR did the same; they know that the DJ doesn't know how to play any games, well except for the games on her phone.
"Okay so the teams are Aunt Stacie and Aunt Aubrey, Aunt Emily and Aunt Amy, Aunt Beth and Aunt CR then my mommies. Do I have to explain the mechanics?"
The girls shook their heads including Beca but she stops when she realizes she doesn't know how to play the said game "Ah I think you still need to explain the mechanics baby. Some of them don't know how to play it."
"Some of them? You're the only one who doesn't have any idea, Beca." Aubrey says "How come you say you're the queen of charades?" Chloe asks her.
"Oh yes she is the queen, queen of the loser." Beca glares at Amy as Emily laughs but stops when the smaller brunette looks at her too.
"Okay if there's no more question, can we start the game?" the girls nods their heads at the little girl standing in the centre. Bailey goes to the side and took the other box "So who's going first?" Beca was about to raise her hand when Chloe stops her.
"Any takers?" Bailey asks once more then Stacie stands up "Since no one wants to go first, we'll volunteer, is that okay with you Aubrey?"
"Sure, you'll act, I'll guess?" the taller brunette nods her head, walks towards Bailey and places her hand inside the box "Oh before I forgot our category is about 21st century movie. You can tell the genre written on top of the title to give your partner a clue."
Stacie smiles at the little redhead and unfolds a piece of paper she's holding. A big grin on her face starts to show while reading what's written on it "Musical and Comedy" she says then looks at Aubrey.
"Okay ladies, timer starts now!" Bailey shouted. Stacie held up two fingers telling Aubrey that it has two words, the blonde nods her head then her partner points at her index finger to tell Aubrey that she's going to act the first word.
"Okay first word." Aubrey waits for her partner to move, Stacie stands straight and places her right hand on her hips and starts to dance while her left hand is holding an imaginary mic.
"I know that one! I know that one!" Emily excitedly says, if ever Aubrey won't get the correct answer, one of the other teams can steal it. Aubrey furrows her eyebrows as Stacie continues to show her the dance moves.
"That looks familiar." she said "You only have 30 seconds to guess!" Bailey shouted.
"Pitch Perfect!" Aubrey answered, Stacie squeals and run towards her partner and pulls her into a hug "You're awesome!" she said.
"Nah, you seem to know the whole step of I saw the sign and it's one of my favourite movies!" Aubrey answered "Okay whose next?" Bailey asks.
As for Chloe and Beca, the redhead gives a thumps up to her best friend and Aubrey, she knows that the taller brunette is good at guessing games. She looks at Beca who seems oblivious to what's going on and she starts to get nervous.
"Okay Aunt Emily and Aunt Amy, time to beat is 25 seconds." Bailey informed them "Oh piece of cake! I can do this by milliseconds!" Amy answered. Emily did the same, places her hand in the box and read what's written on it "Survival Thriller." She said.
"Bring it on! We're going to take the crown from you bitches." Chloe clears her throats and points her finger at Bailey letting Amy know that there's a minor with them "Oh my bad red, what I mean is twigs!"
Bailey laughs and reset her timer "Okay, timer starts now!" Emily held up two fingers also then places both of her hands on her head clasp together forming a triangle.
(A/N: like a dorsal fin)
Chloe smiles because she knows this is going to be hard but then she's shock when Amy speaks "The Shallows!" Bailey stops the timer and looks at Aubrey and Stacie. Amy guesses the title way too fast and that didn't go unnoticed to Chloe who feels that something's not right on their game.
"How did you do that?" Chloe asks the aussie girl "Do what?"
"You guess the title and all Emily does is to place her hands on her head. There are a lot of shark movies in the 21st century Amy."
She looks at the girls to ask for their help but none of them speak up "Well I got killer instinct like a shark so I know that's the right answer." Chloe furrows her eyebrows, confused on Amy's answer but didn't say anything.
"Okay to be fair, you can disqualify us. Is that okay with you Em?"
"Fair enough, we can win some other time." Emily answers and sits on Amy's side. Beth stands up before Bailey can call her and places her hand inside the box. On the other hand, Beca is watching Beth's every move and how Chloe is smiling looking at her.
"Supernatural horror." She simply said and Beca saw how she scratches her head.
Hah! I bet I'm better than her! Poor CR!
She grins evilly while watching Beth standing at the centre looking nervous "You girls ready?" Bailey asks, Beth nods her head and CR gives her thumbs up "Time to beat is still 25 seconds. Timer starts now!"
Beth just stand there for quite some time while the timer is running, losing 20 seconds for nothing so CR furrows her eyebrows, Beca still grinning evilly and doing a happy dance inside her head but then Beth looks at her then points a finger at the brunette sitting next to Chloe. The other girls' looks at each other thinking what could be the movie CR is guessing that sounded like Beca.
Beth's partner analyzes the way Beca is smiling, grinning and looking at Beth "Annabelle!" CR shouted, Beth jumps up and down with a big smile on her face. Among the girls, Amy is the first one to laugh then the rest follows.
"That's my girl! Good job!" Chloe says "But sad to say that we're going to beat you!" she added.
"Bring it on love." Beth answers which makes Beca stands in front of Chloe "Our turn." She said. The redhead nods her head but they can still hear Amy, Stacie and Aubrey laughing. The older Mitchell looks at the three.
"What's so funny?" she asks "Oh please don't tell me she doesn't know who Annabelle is!" Stacie asked the two.
"Well you do know that she's not a movie person right? So she doesn't have any clue about it." Aubrey answers "Because if she does, Beth's probably dead by now."
"Why? Who's Annabelle?" Beca asks them again "It's one of the box office hits in this century Beca. Here let me show you what she looks like." Amy fishes out her phone and searches for pictures on the internet. After a few seconds, she hands over her phone to Beca.
"That's Annabelle! A demonic doll!" and the blonde girl start to laugh again. Beca gritted her teeth but in the end she decided to just look at Beth and raise an eyebrow. Chloe pulls her but before the redhead can say something, Beca speak up first.
"You'll act, I'll guess." She said, Chloe is being hesitant, she wants to guess and let Beca act "Are you sure? You don't want to do this the other way around?"
"No, I need you to trust me and don't listen to them saying I'm no good. I'll tell you, we'll win this." Chloe knows she must trust her wife so she nods her head and walks to where their daughter is.
"Good luck mom!" Bailey says and Chloe smiles at her. She unfolds the paper and her eyebrows furrows.
Oh this is going to be hard
She places the paper in her pocket then look at Beca who is smiling at her then to the girls who are giving her a pitiful look, like they are saying that Beca won't guess it.
She will! I know she can do this!
"You ready mom?" Bailey asks her. Little did Chloe and Beca knows that the game is manipulated by their daughter. While they are watching movies last night, she made a phone call to her Aunt Stacie and Aunt Amy to make a plan. They didn't include Beca and Chloe's names on the list so no one among them can be their partners.
"Yes baby and oh it's sci-fi." Chloe answers looking at Beca "Timer starts now!" the second thing is, the rest of the girls are the ones who picks the movies. They planned to act like they are thinking even though they already know the answer that's why no one reacted when Chloe questioned the way Amy guess the title. They didn't pick anything inside the box that only contains ten papers with the same titles. Bailey already gave them their paper before their dinner starts.
Chloe held up three fingers and points at her baby finger "Missing finger!" Beca says.
'What on earth is she saying?' CR whispered to Beth 'I don't know, she's your friend.' The brunette answered. Chloe points it again "I lost one finger!"
"Damn it Beca! It means that she'll act the third word on the title!" Aubrey says "Oh! My bad!" Chloe shook her head but she needs to focus so they won't be the loser.
She draws an imaginary shape in the air "Circle?" Beca says but Chloe shook her head.
"Invisible circle!" still it's not right; Chloe draws it again "Big circle!" Amy laughs but stops when a pillow hits her face. The DJ thinks for a while then she says "Hole?" Chloe smiles and nods her head.
She then points at her ring finger, meaning second word. She looks around but she can't find anything then she notices the colour of her upper cloth and Beca's t-shirt. She points at Beca's shirt first, the brunette look down.
"A hole in my stomach!" she shouted 'I know she doesn't like to watch movies because it's predictable but I can't believe that she's stu-clueless!' Stacie whispered to Aubrey who just laughs at her.
Chloe shook her head and keeps on pointing at beca's shirt "Oh I know it!" Beca said.
"My hole!" the girls burst out laughing on what she said and also when one of Chloe's slippers hits her head "Hey woman! Don't be brutal!" Beca said.
Chloe then changes her tactics and sees the colour of the carpet in Beca's living room; she points at it and then draws again "Your hole?" Beca asked.
"God damn it Beca!" Chloe shouted "What?! Oh wait, is it OUR HOLE?!" Amy and CR fell on the sofa as they keep on laughing at their friend but Beca is ignoring them, she's too focused on guessing the title. Chloe on the other hand is losing hope that they will win. She keeps on pointing at the hole she drew in the air while stomping her foot on the carpet.
"Holes having sex?!" Beca asks again and this time Bailey shook her head and sits on the table "Time's up." She said. Chloe walks over to Beca and stands in front of the brunette who is smiling sheepishly at her "Your hole?! My hole?! Our hole?! Holes having se- arrrgghhh!"
"Hey don't blame me that we lost. You don' know how to act, you keep on pointing down at me and on your body." Beca said "I'm not pointing at your body or my body; I'm pointing at your shirt because the word you're guessing is BLACK!"
Beca furrows her eyebrows and looks at Chloe "So it's black hole."
"It's the Black Hole." Chloe answers and slump her body on the sofa. Bailey smiles from ear to ear that their plan worked "So the winner of this game is Aunt Stacie and Aunt Aubrey!" the girls clap their hands including Beca and Chloe.
Stacie and Aubrey high-five each other and looks at the loser "We're going to tell you later the consequences of losing and I do hope that you'll do it Chloe." Stacie said.
After the game, the girls made some conversation about what happened to their weekend. Beca excuses herself and get some beer on the fridge. She returns to the girls and places the bottle on the table. She then looks at Chloe while Bailey is sleeping on her lap. She smiles and was about to sit down when she saw Stacie goes to the terrace.
She whispered to Chloe that she needs to talk to Stacie and the redhead nods her head. The brunette went out of the terrace too and Stacie knows that Beca will follow her there. When she sees the small brunette standing beside her, she gives her a smile.
"So what can you say about your daughter huh?" Stacie asks her while looking at some bright lights on the other buildings near their place "A very lovable and smart little monster." The taller brunette laughs and took a sip from her bottle.
"Uhm Stacie?" Beca called her "Yeah?"
"I know I hurt your best friend in the past and there's no way you'll forgive me for what I did but I just want to apologize to you." The brunette said. Stacie sighs and looks at her, yes she did bring Bailey here in LA to meet her but she's still a bit mad about Beca.
"I broke my promise to you and especially to her." Beca added "You do know that I wanted to kill you and burn your body right after." She turns around and leans her back on the railing and looks at her best friend.
"Why'd you do that Beca? You broke her heart that day while all she can think about is how to make you happy." Beca took a sip from her bottle and looks at it "I know I'm stupid for doing that but to tell you honestly, I did look for her." Beca said as she recalls the day she broke the heart of Chloe Beale.
*****FLASHBACK #2*****
Beca slowly turn the knob on the door and pushes the door gently. It's already 11:30 in the evening and as she enters, she sees the food on the table. She looks at her phone and notices the date.
Fuck it!
She drops her bag on the floor and walks towards the table. Chloe cooked all her favourite food and make an effort so they can have a decent dinner. She sighs then looks at the sofa, she saw her redhead sleeping on it.
She walks slowly while not removing her eyes on Chloe's face.
I'm sorry if I had to do this but- I'm sorry.
She kneels in front of her and stares at her wife. She wanted to hold her but afraid that she'll wake her up and if she did, it'll be hard for Beca to leave her.
The thing is, their marriage is on the rocks for the past months. The first four months are the best days of their lives but it deteriorates. Chloe didn't know that Beca stops pursuing her college degree because she needs to work full time at the studio. The two left their dorms to live with each other.
At first Beca doesn't want Chloe to work because taking up medicine is not that easy but the redhead insist that the brunette needs help for paying their rent and bills plus the food and supplies they need every month.
She agrees but later on sees the effect on Chloe's study so she talk to her and tell her to quit her job. Chloe didn't but promises Beca that this time, it won't affect her studies. Though both of them are struggling, Chloe is the one who always lift up the brunette when she feels down.
But still it didn't help a lot. They were fighting for almost every day, big or small things. Beca always came home late and were hiding secrets from the redhead. The latter didn't say anything and respect Beca's privacy until the day the brunette starts accusing her of things she didn't do.
For Beca, this is the only she knows that Chloe would hate her but in the end she hates seeing the redhead getting hurt by her words.
A single tear escape her eye 'This is not the kind of life I want to give you Chlo. I failed you.' She whispered. She stands up before Chloe can hear her crying and places the letter on the table near the sofa. She goes to their room and packs her things. She needs to leave the house before the redhead wakes up.
She shoves everything she finds in her luggage but stops when she sees their wedding picture on the cabinet. She walks towards it and take the picture frame. She smiles at the thought of Chloe sharing her last name as tears falls freely. She takes the picture frame and places it inside her luggage and quickly went out of the room only to find Chloe sitting on the sofa reading the letter.
"Chloe…" Beca says, the redhead looks at her and she sees tears in her eyes "W-what's the meaning of this Beca?" she asks.
Beca opens her mouth but no words came out. She wanted to tell her personally that she's giving back her freedom but she felt a lump on her throat. She hates seeing Chloe like this and now all she wanted to do is to run towards her redhead and tell her how much she loves her but she stops herself from doing that. She saw Chloe looking at the luggage she's holding.
"Why are you leaving me Beca? Did I do something wrong?" Chloe asks her and walks towards her "Please don't come near me Chloe." Beca said though she doesn't want to say but she has to.
"I already said on the latter why and I think this is the best for both of us." But Chloe being Chloe, she runs towards Beca and hugs her "Don't leave me Beca please. We can work this out." Beca's tears starts to fall but she quickly wipe it away.
"I can have double work during my free time, please baby." Beca shook her head, if she really want to do this, she must act strong and doesn't care about her anymore. She gently pushes Chloe off her "I'm tired, this is not the life I wanted."
"Beca-"
"I needed to be alone for a while, to think Chloe and you do the same." she walk pass by her but Chloe stops her "I don't need to think. Beca can't you see? You're my other half, you complete me and I don't need somebody else in my life!"
Beca didn't look back at her or look at the hand on her arm stopping her from walking away "We can work this out and if you want, I can give up my studies to work." Beca's heart breaks into million pieces. Chloe should have been mad at her for deciding things on her own but all she can hear at the redhead is how much she love s her.
"I love you Beca. I love you with all my heart and soul." Chloe said in between tears "I-I'm not in love with you anymore." Beca answers.
"I'm already in love with someone else." The brunette feels the hand on her arm starts to lose "Please d-don't say that." Chloe answers.
"I have to go; she's waiting for me outside. I'll just contact you once the divorce papers are done." Beca starts to walk and hope that Chloe won't stop but she knows Chloe won't give up just like that. She felt Chloe's body hugging her from behind.
"Please don't leave me Beca, please. I'll do anything you want just please don't leave me." Beca tightens her grip on the luggage she's holding or else she'll breakdown and cry "All I want for you to do is to let me go." She said but Chloe didn't.
The brunette removes Chloe's hands wrapping around her body and walks away "Beca please. I need you." She hears Chloe says but she's not stopping or looking back "We need you." Chloe says once more but ignores it, opens the door and walk out of Chloe's life.
Tears starts to fall freely as she opens the door of the cab, she looks back at their house and wanted to run back but someone stopped her "It's for your own good. You can find her and win her back in the future, for now, let's make your dreams come true."
Beca looks at the girl and nods her head; she went inside the cab and closes the door. The girl told the driver they are ready to go while the brunette is still looking at their house.
I'm sorry Chloe, I really am.
She cry silently as the cab starts to move. She knows that time; she's the cruelest person in the world for breaking her wife's heart into million pieces on their first wedding anniversary. AS the cab gains speed, Beca look at their house for one last time and saw Chloe running towards the vehicle.
'Chloe…' Beca whispered, she's looking back and even though that the windows are closed, she knows that the redhead is shouting her name.
Is this really what I want? I give up Chloe just to have a career?
Beca felt the cab going slow and she looks at the driver who is looking at her too, she was about to say to him to stop but the girl beside her orders the driver to hurry because they need to be at the restaurant in an hour.
The brunette looks back once more only to find Chloe on the ground crying while looking at the cab, Beca cries hard and didn't remove her eyes on her but the cab turns right and that's the last time she saw her wife.
*****END OF FLASHBACK*****
Stacie looks at her friend who is wiping her tears away "What happened to the girl and the divorce papers?" she asks.
"I don't have any plans on divorcing her; I only said that so she'll hate me." Beca answers "You know Chloe won't hate you even if you broke her heart."
"That's why I'm asking myself, do I really deserve someone like her?"
"What do you think Beca?" the smaller brunette thinks for a while then shook her head "Don't think that way, whatever happened to both of you is in the past now. Why don't you talk to her and explain everything."
"What do you mean?" Beca asks "I know someone is manipulating you that time. Maybe she promised you a better life or what, am I right?"
Beca nods her head "But still it's my fault that I believed her." She sighs and the two girls went silent for a while "Do you still love Chloe, Becs?"
"It didn't change Stacie and I'm falling in love with her more." Beca answers while staring at Chloe laughing on what Beth is telling her "Then make things right again."
"Do you think I still have a chance?" Stacie didn't answer her and just look at her friend.
Do I need to tell her?
"Because I'll do anything and everything to win her back." Beca added "Then do it! You only have a few months to change her mind." Stacie starts to walk away when Beca runs after her.
"What do you mean by changing her mind on what?" Stacie gives her a small smile and looks at their friend "Changing her mind on marrying Beth." She answered.
It's me again hehehe. There's something I need to clarify, its about the FLASHBACK. I think I already explained it that I won't write/put any flashback unless it's necessary. Chloe, Beca and Stacie are the ones who can trigger it. I promise that you'll know what else happened and how Chloe got pregnant.
Just be patient hahaha.
One more thing, I don't know if I can post an update like I used to (everyday or every other day) I'll be busy until May 13 and summer break will be over soon but I won't abandoned this story, trust me on that one.
