Here's another one guys! Bit of a filler this one but next ones will pick up pace more! Anyway enjoy fellow shippers
Becca was awoken by the sound of a phone ringing, she peered over with one eye closed and realised it was Chloe's phone going off. The red head was still sound asleep...Becca was internally debating whether or not to wake her, she was enjoying the warmth against her body just too much.
Maybe I should wake her…it could be important, "Hey Chloe…" Becca began to slowly nudge the girl with her leg under the covers, unable to use her arm as it was still draped around Chloe's stomach. "Hmmm.." Chloe slowly began to wake up as she realised her phone was ringing. She quickly sprung her arm out from under her pillow and grabbed her phone "Hey baby" Chloe croaked out.
Becca judged by the baby pet name that it was Tom on the phone, Becca slowly tried to remove her arm before the red head quickly grabbed hold of it and kept it in place around her stomach as she carried on speaking to the boy. "Where are you? I just came round to yours and there was no answer" being so close to the girl Becca could hear the whole conversation.
Chloe's eyes shifted to Becca as she gave an explanation "Oh sorry, I got up early to go grab some breakfast with a friend, I was gonna ring you later" Chloe quickly glanced away from Becca knowing the girl was aware she was lying to her boyfriend.
"Ah I see, did you have a good night last night then? Becca and Jesse were pretty cool huh" Tom remarked, as much as Becca was jealous of Tom for being able to call Chloe his girlfriend. She had to admit she could see what Chloe saw in him, he was a nice guy.
"Yeah yeah they were pretty awesome…" as Chloe replied she began drawing circles with her free hand over Becca's arm. Becca couldn't help but grin, the more Chloe done this the more it was effecting Becca. Physically. She was glad Chloe was now facing the other way as Becca bit down on her bottom lip, trying to shake away the thoughts she was having.
"I'm actually with Becca now eating breakfast. So I better go, I'll come round to yours later we can watch a film or something"
"Sure sounds good babe, speak to you later. Love you" Tom said, Chloe's hand suddenly stopped moving on Becca's arm as she replied "Love you too" with that Chloe hung up the phone.
"Sooo lying to the boyfriend again red, why the secrets hmm?" Becca questioned more out of curiosity than anything.
Chloe sat up turning towards Becca and crossing her legs, she shrugged "I don't know, it's just easier than saying I was too shit faced and broke to go home alone in a cab and explain the situation. Plus he would probably lecture me for going back to a strangers apartment seen as we had only known you hours" Chloe explained with a smirk on her face.
"What in case I'm a serial killer or something?" Becca asked now mimicking Chloe's crossed legs.
"Well yeah, however now I know you, I know how much of a softie you are" Chloe teased the girl poking her in the stomach.
"Hey I'll have you know I'm a freaking bad ass, I just have a soft spot for certain red heads that barge their way into my life" Becca retorted with a smirk on her face. "In fact I don't even know your full name?" Becca's eyes widened as she tilted her head forward awaiting to hear Chloe's name.
Chloe brought her hand forward initiating a handshake, "Chloe, Chloe Beale" the girl now beaming at Becca. Becca took Chloe's hand shaking it "Well Mrs Beale I'm Becca Mitchell" she said with a chuckle.
"That's MISS Chloe Beale I'll have you know" Chloe corrected the girl,
"Oh of course, although seeing you and Tom together last night I'm surprised you guys aren't already married! You seem so…together" Becca regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. Chloe was silent examining Becca's face, Becca was beginning to worry she had offended the red head.
Way to go you dick, now she thinks you've been analysing her relationship after one night of knowing her.
Chloe's sudden grin put Becca at ease, she then looked down "I know what you mean, I've been with him four years now and everyone seems to think that instantly means we're the perfect couple, and we are destined to be with each other forever" as Chloe was explaining she was playing with a loose thread from Becca's bed spread. The red head almost seemed lost in her thoughts, but spoke with such ease with Becca, which made the brunette feel even more of a connection with her.
"Surely if it has been four years you must at least think it's leading somewhere" Becca was trying to tread carefully.
"Of course, I mean I love him. I just sometimes wonder if I love him or am in love with him you what I mean? Sorry I'm just blabbering away ignore me" Chloe said about to get up from Becca's bed. Before she could Becca spoke up,
"No I don't think you're blabbering, I do think that if you question whether or not you're in love with someone then you can't be. Love should consume you, it should be an instant knowing not something you deliberate. You just feel that connection with that person, and have a mutual feeling between each other without saying a word confirming it, because it's so unbelievably obvious to you both".
Becca didn't even know where this speech came from but her eyes were now locked with the red heads who was gawping at the brunette, seemingly in a state of shock. "Erm but that's just my opinion, what do I know I got screwed over the only time I was in love! Don't listen to my shitty perspective on love"
"No…" Chloe paused for a moment "That's exactly how I see it Becca, I'm just a bit taken a back that you think that as well. Through all the hard ass stuff you are a little romantic aren't you Becca Mitchell" Chloe beamed at the brunette.
Becca felt herself starting to blush, "Come on let's get some breakfast I'm starving" Chloe quickly pulled Becca down onto the bed not allowing her to get up. "Do you not remember the deal? I'm making us breakfast okay so SIT and do not move" Chloe demanded before jumping out of bed.
"Yes sir" Becca replied as she raised her hand to her head to salute Chloe. How has this happened, from going to see a crappy movie with Jesse to waking up next to a beautiful red head. A straight, taken red head.
Becca must have been deep in thought for a while as next thing she knew the red head was calling her from the kitchen.
"Becs come get your tiny butt in here! It's ready" Becca dragged herself from bed and made her way to the kitchen.
"Mmmm smells good. How do you know I have a tiny butt anyway, have you been checking me out red?" Becca raised an eyebrow, as she picked up a piece of bacon.
"Depends…do you want me to be checking you out?" Chloe hit back at the girl, with the straightest face Becca had seen the girl have yet.
"Erm, what…I um...ha I just" Becca struggled to form a full sentence as she was so thrown off by what the red head was saying.
"Becs…chill I'm messing with you" the red head laughed as she walked around the table to sit next to Becca. Both girls hungrily focused on their breakfasts as they ate their bacon and eggs in silence. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, it was the total opposite.
"You know what's really strange" Becca spoke in between her chews of bacon.
"What's that" Chloe asked looking at Becca next to her.
"That 24 hours ago we didn't know each other..and now you're in my kitchen cooking me breakfast and have slept in my bed. I've also told you probably more about me than I have to 90% of the people in my life. I don't know how this happened" Becca explained, while chuckling to herself.
Becca heard Chloe drop her knife and fork on the table and swing further round to look at Becca's face, "Do you regret it? Have I overstepped my mark" Becca examined Chloe's eyes. They were shooting side to side as if she was panicking at what Becca's reply would be, Becca could see genuine concern in her eyes. It made her melt a little inside knowing Chloe actually cared about what she thought of her.
"No no of course not! It's a good thing, I'm pretty lame at explaining things. I just meant it's nice to of met someone like you and gained them as a friend"
"Awwww you gave me the friend label" Chloe suddenly pulled Becca's hand towards her as she turned around and searched through her hand bag. Chloe still had grasp of Becca's hand
"Ummm Chlo, do you think I could get that back I kinda need it for work? What are you looking for?" Becca asked trying to gently tug away her hand back.
"GOT IT! " Chloe exclaimed. She grabbed Becca's hand closer again to her and brought out a pen. She started scribbling away on the back of Becca's hand then pulled away with a huge grin on her face. Becca looked down at her hand to see a number written on it, she side smirked at the red head's number.
"Well I thought seen as we're friends now we need to stay in constant contact" Chloe said nudging Becca with her elbow.
Chloe put her pen back in her bag and picked up her phone glancing at it "SHOOT! As if that is the time, how long have you been keeping me captive in here Mitchell" Chloe joked while she gathered hers and Becca's empty plates and took them over to the sink.
"If I remember correctly you requested the breakfast set up, if I had my way you would have been out the door before 7am" Becca teased, she was enjoying the playfulness her and the red head seemed to have with each other.
"Har Har Becca, we both know that's not true now don't we" Chloe's eyes flickered up to Becca's. "But as great as this has been I do need to get going now, I'm so late I need to go do some things before I head over to Tom's"
I wish she wouldn't say his name, I never get jealous he is a nice guy and here I am hating her for even saying his name. I suck.
"Sure sure, I gotta get sorted for work tonight, someone got me drunk so I wasn't able to finish my set list" Becca joked towards Chloe.
"That reminds me I didn't get to hear the amazing Dj Becca's work! This makes me sad" Chloe pouted letting her bottom lip hang down.
Becca smirked "Awww, well if you're ever near The Vibe club come in and see me in action. Not to big me up too much, but I really am the shit, and in the atmosphere it is so much better" Becca grew more cocky when she spoke about her DJ skills, she knew she was good.
Chloe started clapping her hands together "I always wanna go in there but with all the lines and guest lists, it just never seems worth it. But now I have the perfect reason to wait in the line for!" Chloe was so excited at the prospect of seeing the DJ in action it made Becca feel excited.
Chloe walked into Becca's room to get changed back into her clothes, Becca suddenly felt sad that her time with the red head was ending. It had only been one night, but they had shared such a bond that it made Becca analyse everything the pair had said to one another.
Chloe walked out of Becca's room towards her even with last night's clothes on she still looks gorgeous, how is that possible.
"So…this is goodbye for now. Thank you so much for last night Becca, I had such a good night. I hope you did too" Chloe reached forward and pulled Becca into a hug, normally a hug between friends would last 5 seconds maximum.
Whereas Chloe and Becca stood gripping each other, neither of them letting go. The red head slowly pulled away and stared intently into Becca's eyes before smiling and releasing the short brunette.
"You better text me, I don't just ditch out my digits to anyone. Bye Becca" Chloe walked out of Becca's apartment. Becca was still standing looking at the door, almost hoping the ginger would walk back in and kiss her.
Seriously, you need to stop with these thoughts. Chloe is your friend, probably a friend you will see in the near future.
Becca started to realise that she was the one with the power to make the first move in seeing Chloe again, she began to panic. Wondering if she should wait hours or days to text Chloe, would she think you were desperate? Would she be angry if you waited a while.
Becca was snapped out of her thoughts by a vibration, she reached in her pocket to retrieve her phone – 'Hey Becs, I know I just left but I just wanted to say thank you again for last night. I hope your DJ skills match your hosting skills ;) Chloe x p.s. I took your number from your phone in case you thought you could get rid of me. Not happening Mitchell. x'
Becca was grinning widely at her phone at this point, she was glad Chloe wanted to keep the friendship going just as much as she did. Looking at her phone Becca also seen she had a missed call off Jesse
'Hey, sorry missed your call. Fancy grabbing a coffee? Lots to tell dude' Becca sent her text to Jesse. As she waited for her reply off Jesse she sat back and thought about what she could reply to Chloe.
Becca looked at the photo frame next to her, she picked it up and stared at it, not so much at it but her. Amber. As she ran her fingers through her hair, she sighed and placed the photo frame back down, she knew these feelings were flooding back to her.
Only this time the feelings are towards Chloe Beale.
This is going to be dangerous Mitchell.
