"The Library: Part 2"

Rated: K


Maybe it was little too ambitious of Beca to finish the book so soon, but she just couldn't help it. The story was really good and easily captivated her from beginning to end.

So when Beca went back to the library, just two days later, she convinced herself that the visit was totally random and didn't have anything to do with the attractive redhead that worked there. That was just a coincidence. Beca was simply going there to return her book and maybe check out another.

That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

And so maybe Beca took a brief moment to compose herself before entering the public facility. That certainly didn't mean anything. She just wanted to straighten herself up because she had just walked six blocks to get there.

She walked inside and first went to the drop off bin, sliding her book through the opening, then made her way into the main library. Beca didn't look too much into the way she cautiously walked in and glanced around like she was looking for someone; because she wasn't.

And she definitely didn't put too much thought into how her heart skipped when her eyes landed on distinctive red hair, and for some reason her initial reaction was to hop behind one of the shelves and peek through the opening above the books.

Because she was clearly just trying to– just– just trying to...

Okay, so maybe Beca had a slight crush on the girl. Nothing major, or anything like that. Just a, "curiosity" if you will. Yeah...

She watched as the redhead scanned a few books at the main desk, pilling them on top of each other when she was through with them. After stacking about ten books, Chloe picked up the heap of novels and used her chin to hold them in place as she disappeared around the corner and into the rows of shelving.

Beca decided this would be the perfect opportunity to go "search" for a book and just so happen to accidentally, (purposely), bump into the unexpecting redhead. She waited for about a minute before making her move and slipped out of her hiding spot. She walked casually, trying her best not to seem like she wasn't totally aimed for a specific destination.

She made it around the corner and slowly peeked her head through the opening of the first aisle, only to sadly discover it to be ginger-less. She smoothly moved on to the next, dismally winding up with the same result. After moving passed the third, fourth, and fifth rows, Beca began to wonder where the hell the ginger could have gone. She scratched her head and looked over her shoulder as she continued her failing search. Just as she was about to pass the next aisle, Beca found herself crashing right into the said redhead, causing the remaining books in her hands to fall to the ground.

"Ow!" They groaned in unison, instinctively bringing their hands up to rub the now sore spots on their foreheads. Chloe was the first to open her eyes, the pain suddenly dwindling and a smiling creeping on her lips when she registered the familiar face.

"Hey!" She chirped, earning the reveal of steel blue eyes and the curve of a sheepish grin. "It's Beca, right?"

The brunette nodded, still rubbing her forehead and hating herself for miserably blowing her initial plan. "Yeah, sorry for–" She used her stroking hand to gesture between their heads and Chloe giggled.

"Oh, it's okay. I don't mind." She joked, but the comment still lingered in Beca's mind.

What did she mean by that?

The brunette was brought back from her thoughts when Chloe crouched down to pick up the fallen books. It was kind of Beca's fault in the first place, so she quickly followed the redhead's actions and for some reason couldn't stop the cheesy idea from crossing her mind of their hands accidentally touching if they both reached for the last book at the same time.

Unfortunately this was real life and not some fanfic being written by a twenty year old girl on her laptop, so Chloe picked up the last book before Beca could get to it and the brunette reluctantly shook away her fluffy wish.

They stood up together, "Thanks." Chloe smiled, and glanced at the books in Beca's hands. "Wanna help me put the rest of these away?"

"Yeah, sure." The brunette answered, surprised at how quickly the response came out of her mouth.

"Awes!" Chloe gleed, and Beca amusingly quirked an eyebrow at her cuteness.

She followed the redhead through the rows of books and internally smiled at the way she pleasantly hummed as she searched for the correct locations.


"So did you like the book?" Chloe asked, placing the last novel on the shelf.

Beca spoke honestly, "Yeah, I did. It was pretty good, actually."

With no more books to distract her, Chloe finally turned to fully face the brunette and released an expressive moan that Beca knew wasn't suppose to sound sexual, but felt her cheeks involuntarily heating up at the sound anyway.

"Ugh, I love that story so much. I swear I've read it like, five times." She chuckled and Beca couldn't help but snicker.

"I don't blame you. It's a good read." Chloe nodded with another adorable smile and Beca quickly cleared her throat before her stomach could twist into an even tighter knot than it already was. "S-So, um, do you have, like, any other recommendations?"

Chloe hummed as she cheerfully nodded again, "Right this way." She guided Beca back to the 'Teen' section of the library and was quick to locate the desired novel. She happily handed it to Beca, then had the brunette follow her out to the front desk.

Beca anxiously bit the inside of her cheek as Chloe scanned her library card and proceeded to checkout the book. A brash and inappropriate question painfully itched in the back of her mind, and it wasn't until Chloe finished and slid the book towards her that Beca finally snapped out of her pondering and returned her attention back to the redhead.

"There ya go." Chloe smiled, and Beca felt like she was going to burst if she didn't get her curiosity out.

"Thanks, um–" She shifted her nervous eyes away from the girl, knowing that that would be the only way she could get through the question. "Listen, I don't mean to be crude or anything, but uh, are you–" wow, this was hard, "D-Do you–" Beca let out a frustrated breath and rolled her eyes at herself before finding the courage she needed to just get on with it. She returned her gaze back to the patient redhead and finally asked, "Do you like girls?"

Chloe raised her eyebrows at the bold question and Beca immediately began to panic, until she noticed a grin slowly curving on the redhead's lips. Chloe leaned forward on the desk, "I don't know," she sang, briefly glancing down at the book, "Why don't you give me a call sometime and find out?"

Beca furrowed her brow, then opened the book to find a piece of paper with Chloe's name and phone number written on it. She lifted her head back up in surprise and grinned when the redhead winked at her.
