Title: Green Isn't a Good Color On You.
Anonymous prompt: Chloe gets jealous when she meets Beca's ex.
Chloe and Beca strolled down the mall, enjoying a nice day of shopping. Well, Chloe shopped. Beca just followed her around, looking utterly bored. The brunette had only agreed to come along because it meant spending time with her girlfriend.
"What do you think about this one?" the redhead inquired, holding yet another outfit up for the DJ to look at.
"It's nice…" the DJ grunted, disinterestedly picking at her black nail polish.
Chloe huffed out a sigh. "That's what you said about the last five outfits."
"Because they all looked nice too." the brunette quickly replied. "This just isn't really my area of expertise, babe. Ask me about a music track and I'll tell you anything you need to know. This…" the DJ gestured around to the various clothing racks. "This just isn't really my thing."
Chloe nodded her head in understanding. "It's okay, baby. I'm sorry I dragged you out to the mall. I know how bored you get when we go shopping."
Beca smiled over at the other girl. "Don't be sorry. I get to spend the entire day with my awesome girlfriend. That's never a waste of my time."
The redhead leaned over and gave the other girl a small peck on her lips. "Why don't we walk over to the food court and grab some lunch?"
Beca smirked over at the redhead. "Hmmm. Food… Now there's something that I can definitely offer my expertise on."
Chloe laughed, linking her fingers with the shorter woman's and guiding them towards the food court.
As they stood and contemplated what they wanted to order, a voice rang out from somewhere behind them.
"Beca Mitchell?! Is that really you? Oh my God! I haven't seen you in forever!" the high pitched voice grated on Chloe's nerves.
"Candi?" came the DJ's shocked response.
The redhead turned around just in time to witness her girlfriend being engulfed in a full body contact hug by a tall, slender, raven haired woman. What the actual fuck… To say the least, Chloe was not amused. Crossing her arms and cocking her hip, she silently seethed as she waited for the disgusting love fest in front of her to end. Growing impatient, she cleared her throat, raising her eyebrow and glaring over at her girlfriend.
To Beca's credit, she at least had the decency to look ashamed. "Oh, uh… Candi, this is Chloe, my girlfriend. Chloe, this is Candi…" the DJ seemed to be mildly panicking. "Candiandiusedtodate…" she muttered out, nervously shuffling her feet.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." the raven haired beauty smiled over at the redhead. Chloe had never in her life had a stronger urge to slap the smile off of someone's face as she did right at that moment. Gathering up all the self control she had in her body, she formulated her response.
"The pleasure is all mine." Despite her best efforts, her words came off acidic at best.
Awkward tension occupied the area around the three women. In an effort to alleviate some of the tension, Beca spoke up.
"So… what have you been doing all these years?" she inquired, shuffling closer to her girlfriend and looping one arm around her waist.
"Oh, I'm in my third year of pre-med." the woman responded.
Chloe resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Great… pretty and smart. Couldn't she at least have been an airhead? At this point, jealousy had consumed the ginger. There's no way she could compare to the woman standing in front of her.
As the conversation progressed, Chloe's jealousy grew even stronger. Especially considering the fact that the bitch couldn't keep her hands off of Beca. Anger and jealousy rolled off of the redhead in waves. If they didn't walk away soon, shit was going to go down.
As if she could read the ginger's thoughts, Beca gradually drew the conversation to an end. As they walked off, Chloe possessively grabbed Beca's hand, needing the reassurance that the other girl's touch provided.
Beca smirked over at the other woman. "Are you okay, baby?"
"I'm fine." the redhead replied curtly.
"You don't sound fine…" the DJ said, slowly bringing them to a stop. "Were you… jealous?" the DJ asked in a slightly amused tone.
"No…" the redhead lied unconvincingly. Realizing how terrible of a liar she was, she sighed. "Fine… yes, I was jealous. I mean, come on Beca… How the hell could I not be? Have you seen her? She looks like a friggin supermodel, and she's going to school to be a doctor. How can I compare to that Beca?"
"There is no comparison." the DJ said softly, peering into crystal blue orbs. "You're the one I want to be with, Chloe. Not Candi, and not anyone else. Just you."
Chloe sighed, realizing how ridiculous she was being. "I'm sorry Beca. I'm just terrified that someday, you're going to realize that I'm not what you're looking for and that there's someone better for you."
Beca looked incredulously at the redhead. "How could I possibly find someone better when I already have the best?"
Chloe's heart flooded with warmth at the DJ's statement. "You know, suddenly, I'm not really in the mood to shop. What do you say we go home and find other ways to spend some time together?" the redhead said suggestively.
Beca allowed her girlfriend to lead them towards car. She silently thanked the universe for setting up the run in with her ex. The sex was beyond amazing when Chloe got jealous…
