Thanks all for the favourites follows and reviews. Kind of have an idea where to go with this story but taking it as it comes. Let me know if you think it's worth carrying on. Enjoy!
"Well this is it" Becca said handing over some cash to the cab driver. As both girls stepped out of either side of the taxi, Becca began leading the way to the tall lit up building in front of them. Becca's head was swirling from the alcohol, yet she couldn't help but feel excitement as she peered round at the wobbling red head behind her. Becca wasn't expecting anything to happen between them or anything, not with Tom in the picture but she was more excited to get to know the Chloe better.
As the two girls walked into Becca's apartment, Becca paused and turned to see Chloe lingering at the door, with one arm stroking her other. Chloe looked lost in thought and Becca didn't know how to approach the girl. "Chloe...what's up? I don't bite" Becca questioned, Chloe smirked at this "Oh nothing just…you know when you have one of those moments where suddenly you start to evaluate a situation and think how they hell did this happen" Chloe questionably stared at Becca awaiting a response. "I mean…I've known you for what, four hours and now I'm in your apartment. It just feels.." before Chloe could finish what she was about to say Becca chimed in.
"Listen I know this is probably thee most random night ever but why question it so much? Were just two people who have clicked and have had a great night together. Hopefully we can build a friendship or something from it…but if you don't feel comfortable I can call a cab and.." "NO" Chloe interrupted "No a cab is not necessary, I'm just being a lame drunk!" Chloe laughed as she walked over to Becca.
Chloe surveyed Becca's apartment as Becca slid into her kitchen to grab the girls a couple of beers maybe I should avoid more alcohol, she's already quite buzzed, with that thought Becca grabbed two juice pouches instead. As she walked back into her living room she noticed Chloe observing a photo frame of Becca's. "Hey heads up!" Becca called as she threw the pouch over at Chloe, the red head managing to place the frame down and catch it.
"That's me and my mom..I don't really see her much with living in LA now, she kinda hates the whole LA lifestyle scene" Becca explained, as Chloe observed the photo again. "She really looks like you Becs, hey who's that girl behind you next to Jesse?" the red head pondered casually. Becca felt her jaw clench as she thought carefully how to reply "Umm…just a person from the past. Don't really speak to her now" Becca replied in a weak voice. Chloe could tell the little brunette was battling emotions at that moment, if it wasn't for the alcohol in her system she probably would have just left it at that. "Was she a friend? …" Becca's eyes shot up at Chloe's almost shocked at how the red head was still pressing the subject when it was clear the DJ was uncomfortable. "She ahhh...she was my girlfriend, my best friend…my soul mate" Becca glared at the wall behind Chloe's head now determined not to make eye contact with the red head. Why was I telling her this? Why couldn't I of just left it as she was just a friend. "Well sounds like she was pretty important in your life, who knows maybe one day" "She cheated on me" Becca intervened just as Chloe was about to mistakenly make light of the situation. "Oh…." Chloe at a loss for words, she suddenly wanted to reach out and hug the brunette but wasn't certain on boundaries at this point. "I know everyone gets cheated on but she literally broke my heart, the full blown betrayal kind. Three years we were together, then one day she wakes up and realises she likes dick. I mean…it took me years to regain myself" Becca was now sat on her couch almost coiling herself into a ball, she wasn't use to opening up to people like this.
Chloe sat next to her and placed her arms around Becca slowly moving Becca towards her body before tightly squeezing her, the action alone sent shivers down Becca's spine. This simple motion had put Becca at ease as she started to relax into the hug, Chloe stroked Becca's hair as she softly spoke "I know I've only known you for a short time Becca, but anyone can tell how much of a beautiful person you are. Not just physically, I mean your soul it's pretty amazing. If she couldn't see that then screw her! She clearly wasn't worthy of Becca Mitchell in the first place".
Becca pulled back slightly to look at the red heads face my god she is so effing beautiful, staring into Becca's not flickering for a moment. "Thank you..I mean I'm really glad I met you Chloe, you know how to make someone feel special. As a friend" Becca felt as though she needed to add the end bit on to ensure she didn't freak out the girl. They were still glaring at each other almost trying to read one another's thoughts.
Suddenly Chloe's phone rang knocking the girls out of their trance Becca quickly straightened herself up as Chloe went to answer her phone. "Hey baby…yeah Tom it was great, yeah…yeah…oh um I just got a cab home I just got in now. Yeah sure sure, I'll call you tomorrow okay. I love you too. Night" Why was she lying to him, Tom clearly had no idea Chloe was at her apartment, why would she want to keep it a secret from him. "It's just easier than having to explain the situation yano" Chloe said as if she had been able to hear every thought going through Becca's head. Becca nodded "Come on let's get some night gear for you" Chloe's grin grew wide "Night gear? You make it sound like some kinky get up" Becca tried to deflect her teasing "Shut it you! Before I force you to sleep in the cold spare room rather than the cosy one next door" Becca playfully threatened. "What I'm not gonna be stopping in here with you?" at this point the girls were in Becca's bedroom rummaging through Becca's wardrobe searching for some suitable night ware. " You can if you want, I don't really mind but I gotta sleep on the right hand side of the bed, little habit of mine" Becca answered, she was trying to act cool as if her heart wasn't suddenly beating fast at the thought of sleeping next to Chloe.
Becca threw a baggy Strokes t-shirt and some shorts for Chloe to wear, both girls turning around from each other to get changed. Becca slipped into bed first and faced the wall, preparing herself for the feel of Chloe sliding into her bed. Chloe lifted the covers and carefully slid into her bed, Becca was now staring at the wall wide eyed unsure on what to say. Do I start a conversation..say night..or just stay silent. Stop over thinking why am I so socially awkward! Becca was snapped out of her thoughts by the sudden feel of something on her leg. Chloe had tangled their legs together and was slowly tracing her foot up and down Becca's leg, Becca couldn't help but slightly shuffle back into the red head. It was almost an instant reaction, needing to feel more of her body as the contact grew more desirable. "Becca can I ask you something?" a quiet voice spoke up from the darkness of the room "Yeah course shoot" Chloe stopped moving her foot up and down Becca while she spoke. "Why do you still have that photo up? I mean she caused you that much heartache surely seeing her face every time you walk by it, must get to you?" Becca was slightly thrown off by the question.
Becca paused for a minute "Can I be totally honest with you" Becca turned round to face the red head, her eyes bluer than she had ever seen them, they were almost distracting her from what she was saying.
"I still have it up to remind me, remind me that shit happens but it can get better. Plus it's a part of my life I'm not ashamed of, me and Amber had good times as well I try to focus on that now. Plus it's one of the only photos of me and my mom" she's the first person you have told this to other than Jesse, how is she doing this to you. Chloe brought her hand up from under the cover and lightly brought it to Becca's cheek, "That's really brave you know" Chloe stated, Becca now frozen and unsure what to respond with. Before Becca could think to do anything, Chloe quickly removed her hand and flipped over so her back was facing Becca, but not before grabbing the brunettes arm and tussling it over the red heads body and linking their fingers together. "Night Becs, oh and I hope you have bacon and eggs in your kitchen, I'm gonna cook you a kick ass breakfast for letting me stop over tonight"
"Sure…and it's not a problem I've enjoyed your company red". Both girls shuffled closer together as they slowly nodded off to sleep, Becca's mind replaying the nights events over and over. Becca hadn't felt like this since Amber..she knew she was in trouble.
