Chapter 2

Heres Chapter 2 Let's go!

As Becca walked out the cinema screen with Jesse it hit her, how totally unexpected this night had gone. She was about to spend the rest of the night sat with two complete strangers. One of which she has managed to gain a crush on within two hours. It wasn't as though Becca hadn't had her share of girls she did, it was just this time it felt different. Chloe felt different.

Walking into the main foyer her and Jesse hung around just near the exit, waiting to spot Chloe and Tom.

"I bet they left, we should just leave now I gotta get my mixes ready for tomorrow night anyway. Come on let's just go Jesse" Becca asked, almost trying to convince herself she was fine if the red head had decided to ditch her and Jesse. "No way Bec, clearly there is vibes between you and red, let's give them a couple more minutes at least" Jesse suggested, hoping Becca wouldn't disregard what had gone on tonight with the red headed girl.

"Fine…5 minutes that's all" Becca compromised while checking her phone every few seconds. She was almost counting down the minutes as they pass, each minute passing accepting more the fact that Chloe was a no show. Just as she was about to check her phone for the hundredth time a glimmer of red turned the corner.

"Hey guys, sorry Tom lost his phone we had to wait for the staff to help us find it" Chloe explained, aiming her explanation entirely to Becca as her eyes seemed panicked as though Becca might be angry with her.

"Oh no problem, we weren't waiting long. Although Becca thought you guys had stood us up, she was ready to go all bad ass DJ on your asses" Jesses remarked back at Chloe. Becca playfully punched Jesses arm shouting "jerk!", Chloe laughed at their exchange before moving closer to Becca "I would never stand DJ Becca up! Besides she promised to show me her mixes later" Chloe winked at Becca which made Becca's Stomach feel funny. I haven't felt like this since….Becca had blocked out her name. The name which whenever it is mentioned brings lots of painful memories.

"I promised no such thing red, but play your cards right I might let you listen to a snippet IF you buy me my first drink" Becca joked. "I suppose that's only fair I do still owe you for earlier" Chloe remarked. With that all four headed off to the nearest bar.

Once sat down at the table Chloe got up to order the first round of drinks, Jesse was talking to Tom asking about what he does for a living. "I'm sort of in between things at the minute, I'm a journalist but whenever I'm in between jobs Chloe supports me, she's amazing" Tom smirked and glanced over at Chloe at the bar. Becca couldn't tell if Tom was being sincere or not, sure it would be hard for anyone to not think Chloe is amazing but something about him made Becca question if he was good enough for her. Why am I even thinking about this, you've known these people two minutes? Becca snapped out of her thoughts when Tom asked her a question, "So what's the deal, are you two guys like a couple or..?" "OH GOD NO" Becca remarked. "I mean no offence Jesse but you know you're not my type" she tried to recover from sounding so harsh towards her best friend. Jesse Laughed "Come on now I know you don't see me like that, yano with me not having a vagina and all" Jesses pointed to his crotch. Tom's eyebrows raised "Wow so you're like a lesbian? That's pretty cool" Tom commented, Becca was use to some people not knowing how to react when she firsts tell people. "I mean yeah I'm like a lesbian ha, as Jesse really classily put it" Becca replied to Tom. "I'm gonna go help Chloe with the drinks" Becca said before walking towards the bar, not wanting Tom to probe her any further about her sexuality. Not that she was ashamed, damn she was proud of who she was, she just couldn't be bothered with the usual questions straight men ask her when they find out.

Becca walked up behind Chloe, as she was about to offer Chloe a hand carrying the drinks, Chloe jumped forward in surprise spilling a drink over herself. "SHIT, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" Becca said hurryingly finding a napkin to dry the split drink on Chloe top. "Seriously Becca we have to quite doing this to each other" Chloe laughed as she ordered another replacement drink. "This time it was completely my fault, I take full responsibility" Becca exclaimed putting one hand in the air while the other hand was still dabbing Chloe's top. Chloe watched as Becca's eyes intently focused on the spillage formed on Chloe's top. "Looks like your taking responsibility of removing the stain too huh…I think you got it all Becs" Chloe commented with a slight smirk on her face. Becca quickly removed her hand from Chloe and dropped the napkin onto the bar, realising she had literally zoned out while trying to dry Chloe's top. The blush rose Becca could feel it coming and turned away so Chloe couldn't spot it "Sorry wanted to make sure it was all gone! Erm all sorted now, let's go sit down" Becca mumbled while facing away from Chloe pretending to find straws for the drinks. Chloe giggled and carried the tray of drinks over to the table.

The topics ranged from movie to work to hobbies, everyone commenting on how impressed they were that Becca was a resident DJ at one of the top clubs. "So how did you guys meet? It's like you have known each other for years" Chloe noted, Jesse spoke up "Well we went to College together and worked in the radio station together, most days just stacking CD's. We still stack CD's whenever we have a disagreement on something! Easiest way to settle it isn't it Becs" Jesse gestured for Becca to elaborate. "Oh yeah, we figured it was so thrilling to do then, why not do it when we leave college as well" Becca sarcastically stated. Chloe laughed at this and started at Becca, Becca feeling this glanced up and caught the red head looking at her and suddenly biting her bottom lip before looking away.

"Well people it's been great meeting you but I better head off home, gotta write an article early tomorrow. Babe you want me to drive you home or you want to stop at mine?" Tom questioned Chloe while standing up to put his jacket on. Chloe twirled the straw in her drink as if she was deliberating the situation in her head, "Actually…I think I'm gonna hang here for a while longer, you go on though babe, I'll call you when I get home okay?" Chloe said standing to hug Tom. Becca couldn't help but feel a smirk start to appear on her lips after hearing this, this didn't go unnoticed by Jesse. "Sure thing, you make sure to call me though" Tom said as her swooped down for a kiss. It wasn't a lingering kiss or anything but it still provoked something in Becca feeling jealousy rise in her, almost as if Chloe could sense this she swiftly released Tom and hugged him goodbye and took her seat back at the table.

As Tom walked out Jesse stood up "Shoot I didn't realise the time, I gotta go visit Benji he needed my help with a show or something" Becca looked up and Jesse with a confused look on her face Benji doesn't have a show what the hell is he talking about. Jesse slightly winked back at Becca before saying night to Chloe and taking off. A few seconds later Becca felt her phone buzz it was a text off Jesse 'You can thank me later Becaw, you need yourself some red lady love ;) x' Becca smiled as she read the text. "What or who has got you smiling so much DJ?" Chloe asked curiously, "Oh nothing just a dumb text I got" Becca replied. Chloe took a sip of her drink and smiled before nodding her head slowly, Becca looked at her raising her eyebrow confusingly. "Oh I just kinda had my theories on you" Chloe stated "Okay let's hear them" Becca remarked back. "That you are super secretive, you've got that whole mysterious thing going on about you Becca. Think that's what has drawn me to you" Chloe said matter-of-factly, sipping her drink more frequently now. She's drawn to me…surely. No don't read too much into it. "You could be right there red but you may be surprised by me" Becca was feeling more confident now as she was starting to feel her drink flow through her body. "I love how you have a nickname red for me, pet names after knowing me a few hours Becca are we moving too fast" Chloe jokingly said causing Becca to grin. "Welllll, you could always tell me to slow down yano" Becca challenged her trying to match the playfulness Chloe had started with. "Neh I kinda like it to be honest" Chloe looking up from her drink and glared at Becca. The tension between them was undeniable but…Becca couldn't help but keep reminding herself that she has a boyfriend and she is probably imagining most of these glares.

An hour or so passed and the Chloe's downed their remaining drinks both waiting for the other to decide what their next action was. "So where do you live? We could share a taxi together if its close?" Chloe asked Becca. Becca couldn't help but notice Chloe's eyes were swimming in alcohol at this point, which weirdly made her more intoxicating. "Um I live around 15 minutes away down Southbank" Becca retorted. "Oh. That's kinda the total opposite of where I live" Chloe shrugged before reaching for her purse, "I hope I have enough cash to get me home, we bought way too much alcohol tonight, not that I'm complaining" Chloe said as she lay her hand on Becca's shoulder with a giggle. " I could always lend you some cash here I've got" Becca started, "No No you're not giving me money Becs! It'll be fine". Becca pondered for a minute…deciding if the words she was about to say would scare the girl off, or give her exactly what she had been hoping for. The alcohol in her system made her decision for her and she thought screw it. "You could always..yano if you wanted to…if you felt comfortable..I mean you might not want to but" Becca stumbled over her words as Chloe cut her off "I could always what Becca.." Chloe asked firmly holding Becca's gaze. "Erm you could always crash at mine I mean I have a spare room and PJ's, god that sounds lame" Becca felt like backtracking on the whole idea, did she really just try to persuade her by offering her pyjamas. Chloe chuckled as she replied "Yeah I'll stop over at yours as long as you're cool with it, now I get to listen to some of your mixes when we get back huh?" Chloe's whole face was lit up at this point, it was almost as if she were just as excited as Becca's was at the prospect of her stopping over. "Like I said red if you're lucky" Becca hit back, with that both the girls put on their jackets, both giggling at how drunk they were.

They walked out of the bar to the nearest taxi rank, the cold air adding to their drunken state as Chloe linked her arm through Becca's. Becca relished the warmth coming from Chloe's body. As she flagged down a cab Becca opened the door for Chloe as she slid in, Becca closed Chloe's door as she slowly walked to the other side to get in. What are you getting yourself into Mitchell.
