Chapter 24: State Champs
"I don't know, Stace," Beca said through the phone as she paced back and forth in her living room. "Would it be weird? I mean, she is single, but it still hasn't been that long since she and Chicago broke up. I just don't know if I should do it or not."
"First of all, I can hear you pacing, so stop. Second of all, Chicago shouldn't have a problem with it if you two go as friends," Stacie said, sitting down on her bed as she talked to Beca through the phone. "If I were you, I would just tell Chicago that you're going to ask her. Tell him that you two are going as friends. I'm sure he'll understand," Stacie pointed out. "He's been really good about seeing you two hang out together."
"I just don't want to hurt his feelings," Beca said, running her fingers through her hair. "I know that he's still hung up on Chloe, and me asking her to prom could make him feel even worse."
"If you don't talk to him, it may make things worse when you and Chloe show up at prom together," Stacie said. "Just tell him that you want to ask her prom. He'll be able to deal with it. If he sees that it makes Chloe happy, then he'll be alright with it."
Beca nodded her head. "Yeah, you're right. Sometimes I tend to overthink things," the brunette said with a chuckle. "Now I have to figure out how I'm gonna ask Chloe to prom.
"I'm sure that you'll come up with a very clever way to ask Chloe to prom," Stacie said, noticing that her friend had calmed down. "But first, you should talk to Chicago. He deserves to know. I don't think he was planning on asking Chloe, but you still need to be up front with him."
"Yeah, I do. He's my best friend, after all," Beca said as she walked over to the couch and sat down. The brunette was silent for a few moments and then spoke again. "I really like her, Stace. I really, really like her."
Stacie smiled through the phone as she listened to her friend go on about Chloe. "You don't say?" She said, chuckling as they continued to talk over the phone. "She said you gave her quite a magical birthday last week."
This comment made Beca blush a little. "She did?" The brunette asked, unable to keep a smile off of her face.
"Oh yeah," Stacie said. "She went on and on about how you guys visited the Space Needle and went pedal-boating and had a paint balloon fight. She then talked how you both got bug tattoos and went to a movie. Chloe said, and I quote, that it was the 'best day ever.'"
"I'm glad that she had a good time," Beca said, her smile growing wider as she recalled the events of that day. "I had a good time, too. A really good time."
"Hey, did you hear Luke is coming back to DJ our prom?" Stacie asked. "Apparently he's been really successful down in LA and the school asked him to DJ our senior prom. It'll be like a little family reunion."
"No, I didn't hear that, actually. Good for him," Beca replied. "I bet you're glad that he's coming back for prom," the brunette added, the smile on her face turning into a smirk.
"That's ancient history," Stacie said, laughing at Beca's remark. "He and I were a hot couple, but I've moved on."
"Sure you have," Beca said in a skeptical tone before chuckling along with her friend. "Maybe you two could reconnect while he's here."
"Maybe, but not in a romantic way. Things ended nicely for us; it wasn't like we had a bad breakup," Stacie said, scratching her head. "Yes, I'll always have a special place in my heart for him, but I don't see myself with him for the rest of my life. We're too much alike."
"That is true," Beca said. "If you're over Luke like you say you are, then is there another guy you've got your eye on?" She asked.
Stacie bit her lip for a moment as she tried to think of how to answer the question. "Yeah, but he only sees me as a friend and is interested in someone else, so there's really no possibility of that happening."
These words made Beca raise her eyebrows. "Wait, what? Who is it? You've got to tell me," the brunette insisted.
"I don't know, Beca," Stacie said hesitantly "He's never going to notice me. Even if he did, we're all going our separate ways after graduation What's the use in stressing about it?"
"Come on, dude. You can't just say that and then not give me an answer," Beca complained. "Besides, if it really doesn't matter, then why don't you just tell me who your crush is?"
"Fine, I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to make a big deal out of it, and you can't tell anyone else." Stacie stated in a firm tone. "You promise me those things, and I'll tell you who it is."
"I promise," Beca said as soon as Stacie finished talking. "Now tell me who it is. I'm dying to know," she added, chuckling a little.
After a moment of silence, Stacie answered Beca's question. "I may or may not have feelings for Chicago," the tall brunette said, closing her eyes and cringing a little.
"Wait, you have a crush on Chicago?" Beca asked, her jaw dropping a little. "Wow, I didn't see that one coming at all."
"Neither did I," Stacie said with a sigh. "I usually go after the bad boys that don't follow rules and have a bunch of tattoos. I never fall for the boy next door."
"Well, things change and people change. I didn't think that Chloe was into girls, but look where we are now," Beca pointed out, chuckling.
"I see your point," Stacie said, scratching her head. "She also told me what happened in her room that night. You two really like snogging, don't you?"
Beca's face turned as red as a tomato when Stacie said this. "So what if we do?" The brunette asked.
"She told me that you two decided to try and stop the occasional makeout session since you guys are going to be living on different sides of the country by the end of August," Stacie mentioned. "But she also said she's never enjoyed kissing someone as much as she enjoys kissing you."
Beca closed her eyes and sighed. "I don't know what to do, Stace. I want to be with her, I really do. I don't know if we'd be able to make long distance work. I'd like to think that we could, but I just don't know."
"Usually I'd say to go for it, but three thousand miles is really far," Stacie said. "If you want my advice, then this is what I have to say: if you two are serious about each other, then ask her if she'll wait for you until she's done with college. I know you'd wait for her, and I'm pretty sure she'd do the same for you. Promise each other that you'll wait for each other until the time is right."
"Do you really think that's my best option?" Beca asked. "I'm not doubting you or anything, I just want to be sure that I'm making the right decision before I do anything," the brunette explained.
"It'll be tough, but I think that it'll be worth it in the end if Chloe agrees to wait for you. However, if she doesn't, I don't know what to tell you," Stacie said, feeling bad for her friend's situation. "For now, I'd just focus on talking to Chicago, the championship game, and figuring out a cute way to ask Chloe to prom."
"Not in that order, though. The championship game is at the top of my priority list right now," Beca said with a chuckle. "Once we win the championship, which I'm confident that we'll do, then I'll worry about talking to Chic and figuring out how I'm gonna ask Chloe to prom."
The next day was the state championship game. The top-seeded Hartford Hawks were going up against the second-seeded Wingate Rams. Both teams were basketball powerhouses, so this going to be one hell of a game. The game was being played at the University of Washington's Alaskan Airlines Arena. This was the biggest stage that Beca would play on in her basketball career, and the brunette was determined to come out victorious.
Chloe was warming up with the cheerleaders when she saw Chicago walking towards her out of the corner of her eye. The two of them hadn't talked in awhile, so Chloe figured that she might as well break the ice. "Hey, Chic," she said, waving at him.
"Hey, Chloe. It's good to actually talk to you again," Chicago said awkwardly, putting his hands the pockets of his jacket. "It's a big day, huh?"
"Yeah, it is," Chloe replied, smiling softly at the boy. "It's been awhile since I was this excited and nervous at the same time."
"Me too. The last time I was this nervous was at the state championship game for football," Chicago said with a chuckle. "I have a feeling Beca and Emily are going to pull off something amazing, though."
"I think you're right," Chloe stated, smiling as she watched Beca take some warm-up shots on the court. She then turned back to Chicago, wondering if she should tell him about her feelings for Beca. He deserved to know how she felt about Beca; the redhead just didn't know how to tell him. "Chic, you want me to be happy, right?"
"Of course I want you to be happy, Chloe," Chicago replied in a genuine voice. "Even though we're not together anymore, I still want what's best for you and I still want you to be happy."
"And I want the same for you," Chloe said, looking down and then taking a deep breath. Besides Stacie, Aubrey was the only one who knew that Beca and Chloe had feelings for each other. Needless to say, this was a big moment for Chloe, since she was about to come out to her ex-boyfriend. "We broke up partly because of you not telling me about Georgia, but there was another reason as to why it didn't work out, and I feel like you should know what that reason is," the redhead stated nervously, taking another deep breath. "I'm into guys...and girls," Chloe said, anxiously awaiting Chicago's response.
"Oh, okay," Chicago said, not sure how to respond at first. He then saw the redhead's face fall, so he scrambled to say something else. "I didn't mean that in a bad way," he added. "Uh, thanks for telling me. It means a lot that you trust me enough to tell me this. Is there a special girl I should know about?" He asked curiously.
Chloe glanced out at the court and looked at Beca as the team began doing their stretches, smiling softly at the brunette before turning back to Chicago. "There is," she admitted, biting her lip. "But we can't be together," the redhead finished, looking down at the floor as she spoke.
Chicago followed Chloe's gaze and saw that she was looking at Beca. He then looked back at the redhead, noticing the sad look on her face. "Why can't you two be together, if I may ask?"
"I'm leaving for New York in August, Chic, and we both know how difficult long distance is," Chloe said. The young girl then bit her lip as she tried to figure out what to say next. "It just sucks, you know? Whenever she holds my hand or smiles at me, I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest."
Chicago nodded and then looked down, shuffling his feet awkwardly. "Well, I hope you two can work something out," he said, using the same genuine voice he had used before. "I want you to be happy, Chlo, and if being with her will make you happy, then I'm okay with it."
"I'm sorry for laying all this on you at once, but I just thought you should know that our breakup wasn't just your fault," Chloe said, reaching out and taking his hand in hers for a moment. "It was my fault too, and I'm sorry for treating you the way I did for the last month."
Chicago shook his head. "You don't need to apologize. You had every right to do what you did. I treated you like shit. I deserved what I got, quite frankly," he said.
"I'm still sorry, though, because you still treated me well despite everything that happened," Chloe told him. "And I don't think being with you was a waste of time," the redhead added, honesty in her voice. "Also, I know for a fact that you're going to kick ass as a Georgia Bulldog."
Chicago smiled at these words. "Thanks. And I know for a fact that you're going to kick ass as a Juilliard...a Juilliard student," he replied, chuckling a little.
Chloe laughed and then smiled at him. "Thank you," she said before the announcer started talking to get the crowd's attention. "I've gotta go now. It was really nice talking to you, Chic," she said.
"Yeah, it was nice talking to you too," Chicago said, smiling and waving at Chloe before turning to go join the student section, which was in the bleachers right behind the basket.
Down on the court, the teams were introduced and then the players got ready for the start of the game. Beca high-fived her teammates on the bench and then went to the center of the court for the jump ball. She got into her position outside of the center circle and then turned around, finding Chloe among the cheerleaders and smiling at her once they made eye contact. She then winked at the girl, making her blush as red as her hair. The brunette then turned around and got focused, ready for the game to start.
When the game began, Emily tipped the ball back to Beca, who began dribbling it down the court. There wasn't a lot of room for her to make a move in the paint, so Beca faked a shot and got away from her defender. The brunette then spotted up for a three pointer and made it, giving the Hawks their first bucket of the game.
Beca didn't waste any time celebrating, however, and immediately got back on defense. She got in her defensive stance and focused as the Rams' point guard brought the ball up the court. The Rams did end up getting an easy basket, however, as Emily got caught up in an off-ball screen which left the paint wide open for a layup.
The game was pretty even throughout the first half, the two teams going back and forth in terms of scoring. About halfway through the second quarter, the Hawks were leading 33-29. Beca was bringing the ball up and saw an open lane, so she started driving towards the basket. As she was putting up her shot, one of the Rams players stuck their foot out, and the brunette stepped on it as she went up for the shot. Beca's ankle twisted in the opposite direction, causing her to fall to the floor.
Beca yelled out in pain as she hit the floor, and one of the referees blew the whistle, stopping the game. "You okay there?" The ref asked. When the brunette shook her head, the ref looked over to the Hawks' bench and motioned for the team doctor to come over.
Beca lay on her back, covering her face with one hand while the other clutches at her ankle. When she had fallen, it felt like she had sprained her ankle. The team doctor walked over and knelt down beside her, starting to examine her ankle. "Just tell me where it hurts, okay?" He told her as he started applying pressure to her ankle.
"Shit, it hurts right there," Beca said, biting down on her lip and trying to hold in her tears while the doctor continued to apply pressure to her ankle.
"There's a pretty good chance that you sprained your ankle, so we're gonna go back to the training room and reevaluate your injury, okay?" The doctor said. The doctor helped Beca stand up, and Emily came over to help the brunette off the court. As this was happening, Beca received a standing ovation, and she turned to wave to the fans before slowly making her way back to the training room.
Chloe watched as Beca went back, hoping and praying that she would be okay. The redhead looked at Stacie, hoping that the girl would let her go check on Beca. Stacie nodded and gestured for her to go after them, so that's what she did.
"Ow, oww, owww!" Beca yelled as she was lifted onto a table. "I can't be hurt, Doc. I've gotta go back out there and help my team win," the brunette pleaded, desperation in her voice. "This is the last game of my basketball career, and I'll be damned if I can't finish it."
"I know it's frustrating, Beca. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that you get to go back out there and play," the doctor told her in a reassuring voice. "I just need you to sit as still as you can while I examine your ankle. It's going to hurt, but the faster I get this done, the faster you can return to the game."
That's when Chloe came into the training room, where she saw Beca sitting on a table. "Hey, is everything okay?" She asked, sitting in a chair next to Beca and taking one of her hands in hers.
"Does it look like everything's okay?" Beca snapped, her frustration getting the best of her. Her voice then softened, and she spoke again. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I'm just frustrated, that's all."
"It's okay, that was a dumb question anyway," Chloe said with a chuckle, not taken aback by Beca's attitude. She squeezed Beca's hand gently, something that they always did when one of them was hurt or nervous.
After about ten minutes, the doctor sprayed Beca's foot with some numbing spray, wrapping it up in pre-wrap and then some athletic tape. "I want you to start by seeing if you can put weight on it," he said.
The brunette nodded and then got down from the table, slowly putting weight on her ankle. She winced a little at first, but there was significantly less pain than there was before. "It hurts a little bit when I put weight on it, but it does feel a lot better," Beca said.
"Alright, now try walking on it by yourself," the doctor said, scooting his chair back to allow Beca space to move around.
The brunette did as he said and began walking around. Her limp got better with each step, the pain decreasing as well. "How does it look, Doc?" Beca asked, turning to face the doctor.
"Well, it looks like you can walk on it, but what really matters is if you feel good about it. We also need to make sure that you can run," the doctor said, walking over to her. "Jog to the door and back, then tell me how it feels."
Beca nodded and then started to jog towards the door. She felt pretty good, so she started to run faster. While she did feel some pain, it wasn't terrible. Once she made it back to Chloe and the doctor, she gave them both a thumbs up. "I can play," the brunette declared.
Just then, they heard the buzzer sound, signaling the end of the first half. "Alright then," the doctor said. "You head to your team's locker room and tell them you can play. I'm sure they'll be glad to have you back."
"Are you sure that you're alright?" Chloe asked, wanting to be sure that Beca would be okay before she left.
Beca nodded. "I'm sure. It hurts, but I'll live," she replied. "Now go back out there. I don't want to make you late for your halftime performance."
Chloe smiled and then leaned in, kissing Beca's cheek. "Go get 'em, Mitchell," she said before leaving the training room.
Beca blushed for a moment, touching her cheek where Chloe's lips had been. She then walked to the locker room where she found her teammates sitting on the benches and listening to Coach Jefferys as he talked about their play in the first half. He looked up as Beca opened the door and suddenly trailed off, which made the other girls turn to see what he was looking at. "So, what's the news?" He asked.
"I can play," Beca said, smiling widely as she said those words. "I probably have a sprained ankle, but the doctor wrapped my ankle and I'm feeling a lot better now."
"Good, because we need you out there," Coach Jefferys said, patting Beca's shoulder as the team cheered for her.
After the halftime show, the teams went back out onto the court to warm up for the second half. The Hartford student section went wild when they saw that Beca was back on the court and making her shots with ease. Both teams continued warming up until the buzzer sounded, signaling the end of halftime.
Since the Hawks won the jump ball, the Rams got the ball to start out the second half. They missed their first shot, though, and Beca started dribbling up the court once she got the ball. The brunette dribbled to the right side and was a few feet outside of the three point line when she pulled up and took a shot, swishing it through the hoop.
Beca played with fire and passion throughout the second half, playing stellar defense while making shots left and right. The crowd would go wild whenever she scored, making her confidence grow. She and Emily continued to make wonderful passes that created easy shots for their teammates.
It was still a close game, however. The Hawks were down by three with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. Emily inbounded the ball to Beca and the brunette started dribbling down the court, calling out a play at the same time. She then saw Emily running towards the open paint out of the corner of her eye, so she threw her a quick bounce pass. The Hawks were now only down by one after Emily's layup.
Neither teams scored on their next possessions, making it 82-81 with a little under a minute left in the game. The Rams were currently in possession and holding the ball so they could waste as much time as they could. They eventually had to shoot because the shot clock was winding down, and the ball bounced off the rim when they did. Emily jumped up to get the rebound and passed it to Beca, who ran down the court faster than she ever had before. The brunette was triple-teamed when she got to the paint, so she passed it over to Emily, who was wide open under the basket. Emily was swarmed by defenders as soon as she caught the ball, but Beca had managed to get open, so she passed the ball over to her with five seconds left in the game. The brunette set her feet and pulled up from the top of the key, making the game-winning jump shot as the buzzer sounded.
The Hartford fans began cheering wildly at this, realizing that they had just won the state championship. It took a couple seconds for the fact that she had just made a buzzer-beater to win the state championship to sink into Beca's mind, so the brunette just stood there for a couple moments. Reality then hit her when she turned and saw her team running towards her, every one of her teammates screaming with joy. Emily was the first person to get to Beca, and she immediately embraced her. "You did it! You did it, captain! You did it!"
Beca chuckled as she hugged Emily back, feeling her teammates surrounding them to get in on the hug as well. "No, Em, we did it. We all did it," the brunette replied. She then closed her eyes, a huge smile on her face as she took in everything that was happening at the moment.
Some of the fans stormed the court and lifted the girls up in a crowd surf. They had done it. For the first time in ten years, the Hartford Hawks had won the Division 4A Women's State Basketball Championship. Beca chuckled as Jesse, Chicago, and Benji all picked her up and carried her on their shoulders. "Here's our MVP!" Chicago shouted, making the fans go even crazier.
"Okay, that's enough, Chic. Please put me down now," Beca said, chuckling even more as she was carried around by Chicago, Jesse, and Benji. "How'd you guys even get down here? I didn't think they'd let people storm the court at the state championship game."
"Dude, we just won state! They have to let us on the floor!" Jesse said, patting his buddy on the back.
Chloe smiled as she watched Beca talk with the boys, unable to tear her eyes away from the brunette girl. Beca looked over and saw Chloe waving at her. "Excuse me for a minute, you guys. I'll be right back," she said before running over to Chloe, picking the redhead up and spinning her around.
The redhead giggled as Beca spun her around and then hugged her tightly when she put her back down. "You were so awesome, Becs. I'm so proud of you," Chloe whispered in the brunette's ear.
"Thanks," Beca said, holding her close. "Seeing you cheer for me kept me going," she whispered, unable to keep the smile off of her face.
"It did?" Chloe asked, blushing a little at Beca's words.
"Yeah, it did, so you can take some credit for our win," Beca replied with a chuckle. They then pulled back from the hug and Beca took a deep breath. "I can't believe it, Chlo. We won. We're state champs," she stated, tearing up happily. "I haven't felt this alive since the last time I kissed you," Beca said with a chuckle as a couple tears fell down her cheeks.
These words made Chloe blush even more, and the redhead bit her lip before looking down. "That shot you made to win the game was incredible. How on Earth did you do that?"
"I can't take all the credit for the shot. Emily made a great pass. If it weren't for her, we would've won," Beca pointed out. "But to answer your question, I just focused on the shot and tuned everything else out," she added.
"Well, when the trophy presentation is over and we get to your house for the after-party, I have a surprise for you," Chloe said, smiling widely and biting her lip. "How does that sound?"
"That sounds great," Beca said, smiling back at Chloe. "Can I get any hints as to what this surprise is?"
"Nope, you'll just have to be patient," Chloe said, winking at Beca after she said that. Then, the announcer started talking for the trophy presentation. "You better get over there, Mitchell."
"Yeah, I guess I should, huh?" Beca said with a chuckle. She gave Chloe one last hug before she went over to join the rest of the team for the trophy presentation.
The Hartford fans cheered as Beca, who was smiling from ear to ear, lifted up the state championship trophy over her head. The brunette spotted her parents, Henry, and Hailee, while she was scanning the crowd, so she smiled and waved at them. While Beca was holding the trophy over her head, pictures were being taken of her and the team that would be put on the front page of the next day's newspaper.
Beca then got interviewed by a couple Seattle news stations before showering in the locker room and then heading home for the night. The Mitchells were throwing an after-party to celebrate the state championship win and had invited all of Beca's friend group to come over.
When Beca walked into her house, her friends and family instantly started cheering for her. "It's not that big of a deal, you guys," the brunette said with a chuckle as she hung up her jacket on the coat rack.
"Dude, you and Em just won state!" Benji said enthusiastically as he put his arm around Emily.
"Not to mention you were voted the MVP for the regular season," Chicago added, patting his best friend on the shoulder.
Jacob and Cala walked up to their daughter and each gave her a tight hug. "We're so proud of you, sweetheart," Jacob said, kissing the top of her head.
"Thank you, Dad," Beca said, smiling as her father hugged her tightly.
"You played amazing tonight, Beca. I think that your injury might've made you play better," Cala said with a chuckle.
"I couldn't let my team down," Beca said, turning and high-fiving Emily. "It was team effort, and we pulled through," she stated, everyone starting to cheer again.
About an hour later or so, Beca walked up behind Chloe in the kitchen while the redhead was getting a slice of pizza. "So, can I have my surprise now?" She whispered in her ear, placing her hands on Chloe's waist and tickling her a little bit.
Chloe giggled and then tucked some of her hair back behind her ear. The redhead was still wearing her cheerleading uniform for a specific reason. "Meet me up in your room in fifteen minutes," she whispered back, smiling deviously at the girl and then kissing her cheek before leaving the room.
Beca smirked and then grabbed a slice of pizza, watching as Chloe walked out of the room. Fifteen minutes later, Beca excused herself and then went upstairs to her room, finding her door open. "Chlo? Are you in here?" She said as she walked inside.
"Yeah, I am." Chloe then walked out of the brunette's closet, a smirk on her face. "I figured that you deserved a very special gift since you just became a state champion," she said, walking over to Beca. "I'd like to give you a lap dance," the redhead whispered in Beca's ear before nibbling softly on the brunette's earlobe.
"O-oh, okay," Beca stuttered, feeling her face heat up. "I'd like that. I'd really like that, actually," she said, smiling softly and blushing even more.
Chloe lead Beca over to her bed and sat down before throwing a wink her way. She then went and closed the bedroom door, dimming the lights as well. The redhead started playing "All That Matters" by Justin Bieber on her phone and then began to slowly back up towards Beca, swaying her hips softly as she did so.
"Holy fuck," Beca muttered under her breath, practically hypnotized by Chloe. All she could see was the redhead in that moment. "You're so hot," the brunette murmured, watching as the other girl slowly made her way over to her.
The redhead smiled softly at Beca's comments before climbing onto the brunette's bed and slowly crawling towards her. She straddled Beca's lap as the first verse of the song began to play. Chloe took Beca's hands and ran them down her front before letting them rest on her waist. When the chorus came, Chloe began to do slow body rolls, biting her lip in a sexy way as she stared into Beca's eyes.
Beca bit her lip, resisting the urge to moan as Chloe gave her a lap dance. The brunette wanted to look away so the redhead wouldn't see that she was starting to blush, but she couldn't keep her eyes off of her. "Shit, Chlo," she whispered softly, mesmerized by the girl's movements.
A smile tugged at Chloe's lips, and she decided to speed up her hips a little bit. Their hips were now coming into contact with every grind, and Chloe knew she had Beca's full attention. So, to make things even better for the brunette, Chloe slowly took out her ponytail and flipped her naturally-wavy hair a couple times just to make the whole experience better for Beca.
"Chlo," Beca murmured, her breaths now short and ragged. "Chlo, do you have any idea what you're doing to me right now?" She asked, biting her lip when she felt a moan rising up in her throat.
In fact, the redhead did know the effect she was having on the girl beneath her, so she smirked while she continued to give Beca a lap dance. The girl had given a few lap dances to Chicago before, so she was pretty experienced. She grabbed Beca's hands and moved them to a place they'd never been in contact with before: Chloe's ass. She then smiled and started to grind a little harder as the song reached the bride.
"Fuck, this is hard," Beca groaned, leaning her head back and closing her eyes for a few moments. "Chlo, you're doing so many things to me right now. You're making me feel so many things right now," she said, gazing into Chloe's eyes. "You're making it very, very difficult to resist you," she added.
As the third and final chorus played, Chloe decided to give Beca a little strip tease as well. She slowly removed the top of her uniform, leaving her in a red sports bra and blue and white skirt. She saw Beca's eyes go wide at the site of this, which made her smirk. She then began to roll her hips at a slow but super sexy pace, letting Beca take in the view.
When the song finished, Beca was struggling to catch her breath. Her heart was racing, and she felt a blush creep up onto her cheeks for what seemed to be the millionth time. "Chlo," she said softly, panting a little. "That was incredible. Absolutely incredible."
"I wanted us to have our own little private celebration," Chloe whispered back. She too was breathing heavily from the lap dance. The girl then took Beca's hands and let them rest on her now-bare waist. "You deserved an incredible lap dance after the incredible game you played," she murmured, smiling softly as Beca's nails softly scratched against her skin.
"Have I mentioned how hot you are?" Beca said absentmindedly as her eyes wandered all over Chloe's body. The brunette then made eye contact with the redhead, her gaze moving back and forth between her eyes and her lips.
This made the redhead giggle a little, and she nodded. "Yeah, you've mentioned it once or twice," Chloe said, tucking a few stray pieces of her hair back behind her ear and looking down for a moment. She smiled at Beca and leaned down to press a gentle kiss to the brunette's lips. "Congratulations, Becs," the redhead mumbled once she pulled away.
"Chlo?" Beca whispered, looking up into the redhead's eyes. Once she had the other girl's attention, she continued. "What is this? I mean, what are we?" She asked.
"What do you want it to be?" Chloe asked, looking directly at Beca. She tucked some of the brunette's hair back and awaited her answer.
"I really care about you, Chlo," Beca started. "And I really want to be with you. Hell, I want to be with you so bad that I'd be willing to try long distance if it meant we could be together."
Chloe was silent for a moment, thinking about what Beca had just said. After a silence that seemed to last forever, she finally spoke. "Then why don't we give it a try?"
"Wait, what?" Beca asked. "You want to give it a try?"
"Yeah, I do," Chloe said, smiling softly at Beca. "I want to be with you, Beca. I don't care if we're going our separate ways. I want us to have our time."
Beca smiled widely at these words and then leaned up, pressing a sweet kiss to the redhead's lips. "I want us to have our time, too. This is our time," she murmured against the other girl's lips, a smile still on her face.
Chloe's heartbeat started to go faster, and she couldn't help but smile into the kiss as well. She cupped Beca's cheeks and deepened the kiss, her heart filled with an immense amount of joy. After a moment, she pulled away. "I don't want to rush things between you and I. I want to take it slow; all my other relationships moved too fast, and I want to do this one right."
"I want to do this one right too. You mean the world to me, Chlo. I don't want to screw this up," Beca said, gazing deeply into the redhead's eyes. "Let's make the most of these next few months."
Chloe smiled and then leaned down and kissed Beca on the lips again. "Can we make out now?"
"Hell yeah we can," Beca said, flipping them over so that Chloe was now laying down. Beca ran her hands along Chloe's sides, gazing into her eyes for a moment before leaning down and kissing her neck gently, knowing that this was something Chloe enjoyed. She then nibbled on her skin before moving to kiss Chloe's lips, slipping her tongue inside her mouth.
"Mmm," Chloe hummed in approval of the kiss as their lips moved together in perfect sync. The redhead allowed the brunette's tongue to explore her mouth for a bit before pulling away to catch her breath. "You're such a good kisser, Becs."
"So I've been told," Beca whispered with a smirk. She then leaned down and pressed gentle kisses along Chloe's collarbone before moving up kiss her neck. "I've also been told that I'm an expert at finding girls' weak spots," the brunette mentioned before tucking some of the redhead's hair out of the way so she could leave some kisses right under the redhead's ear.
"Really?" Chloe said, raising an eyebrow. "If you're so good at finding weak spots, then why don't you prove it?" The redhead challenged, smirking at the brunette.
Beca turned Chloe's head to the side so she had more access to the left side of the girl's neck. She mixed it up a little by licking her skin a few times and then switching back to kisses. Her lips then moved right behind Chloe's ear and she began to suck on it, instantly hearing a moan escape from Chloe's lips. Beca then continued to suck on that particular point on her skin. "I think I found it." She whispered before continuing to suck on Chloe's skin.
"How did you find it that fast?" Chloe asked, chuckling a little before moaning again as Beca continued to suck on her weak spot.
"I told you that I was an expert at finding weak spots," Beca replied, chuckling along with Chloe. She sucked on the redhead's weak spot for a little while longer before reconnecting their lips in a passionate kiss.
Chloe cupped Beca's cheeks and kissed her back, smiling as she did so. Something about Beca's kisses made her feel alive, as if she was immortal or something. Beca's lips were magical—because whenever they kissed, Chloe couldn't get enough of them. She slid her tongue across Beca's bottom lip to ask for entrance.
Beca granted Chloe's request and allowed the redhead's tongue to explore her mouth. "So much for taking it slow, huh?" The brunette mumbled against the other girl's lips, chuckling a little as well.
This made the redhead laugh and pull back. "We don't have to go further than this. I just figured we could let ourselves have a little fun," Chloe told her. "I mean, what's a makeout session without a little tongue kissing?" She added with a giggle.
"You do have a point there," Beca said, smiling at Chloe's cute giggle. The brunette leaned her forehead against the redhead's for a few moments and then spoke again. "So, if you're going to be my girlfriend now, I guess we should probably go on a date at some point."
"Probably," Chloe said, smiling up at Beca. She smiled up at Beca and gazed into the midnight blue eyes. "I'm your girlfriend now," She said, unable to keep the huge smile off her face.
"Yeah, you are. And I couldn't be happier now that I get to call you mine," Beca murmured back, leaning in and giving Chloe a quick peck on the lips.
Chloe held Beca close to her, smiling softly. She softly traced Beca's cheek with her thumb, unable to tear her eyes away from the girl. Her heartbeat was steady, and Chloe couldn't help but let a couple happy tears fall down her cheeks. "I've never felt this way about anyone before."
"I can say the same thing," Beca said, smiling and then wiping away the tears with her thumb. "You make me so damn happy, Chlo. I've never been this happy in my whole life."
YAYYYY! Bechloe at last! Do you think they'll try and do long distance, or will this be a four month fling? Stay tuned to find out!
Until Next Time!
