Hope those who are following the story are enjoying it, thanks again for all the feedback :) Here's the next one….
*Hey Becs :) so plan for tonight, come to The Ocean club for around 7.30pm. Me and Tom will meet you in there, okay? Xxxx*
Becca read the text a few times, becoming slightly more irritated each time she skimmed through the content. She half expected to be going to the club with Chloe, rather than meet her in there.
Of course she is going with her boyfriend duh, it's his friends club.
Becca hit reply and typed out a quick text to the red head
*Sure no problem, if you have a Jack and coke waiting for me you will be my ultimate favourite red head xxxx* Becca smirked down at her phone as she waited for a reply. This had been a common theme for her and Chloe, flirting lightly back and forth over text.
Well it's definitely flirting on my end
Almost instantly Becca's phone lit up, it was a reply from Chloe
*Pleaseeee I'll always be your favourite red head ;) see you later xxxxx*
Yep looks like it's not just her end
Becca was currently on her way to the club, Jesse had offered to drive his best friend over there.
"So what exactly is this for again? Knowing you Becs you would rather be staying in and working on your mixes, than go to some club opening with a red head you like and her boyfriend" Jesse glanced over at the brunette who was staring out the window ahead of them.
"Yeah but a night with Chloe sort of outweighs a night sat alone with my laptop" Becca replied confidently.
Jesse smiled after being slightly taken a back with Becca's reply
"Now look who's all confident and shit, so you're admitting you do have feelings for Chloe then?"
Becca rolled her eyes and started doing a sarcastic slow hand clap,
"Well done Jesse, yes I do feel something for Chloe. It's not like I can do anything about it though, she's in a relationship. A serious one"
Saying it out loud always made Becca recoil inside, the thought of Chloe with Tom really did get to her. She never really got to see that though, always just spending one on one time with the red head.
However tonight that was going to change.
As Jesse pulled outside the club Becca suddenly felt really anxious. The line outside to get in was huge, but Chloe had text her earlier saying she had gotten her on to the guest list.
"Okay have fun weirdo, text me if you need picked up later" Jesse shouted as Becca closed the car door.
"Will do, thanks dude" Becca then made her way towards the club. She was used to being in a club setting but this was different, she knew she had to put on a front. A front pretending she wasn't bothered that the girl she had started falling for was in the arms of another guy.
The small brunette took a deep breath and walked towards the door, stating her name to the door staff before being shown in.
Becca scanned the setting, the whole place was rammed full of people. She gently rose on to her toes to try and peer further over at the bar.
How the hell am I gonna spot her, I'm such a short ass
Of course before Becca could think any further about it she spotted her. Her red hair glistening under the lights, she quickly made her way past people to get to Chloe.
As she was approaching her she suddenly noticed a hand on Chloe's back, her eye line followed who the arm belonged to. Tom
Becca's stomach tightened as she watched the couple, Tom was leaning in and whispering something in to Chloe's ear. Chloe giggling in reply as she placed a hand on Tom's chest, as her head tilted back laughing even more.
Becca was metres away from the couple when she seen Chloe suddenly turn away from Tom and glance down at her phone. The red head frowned at the screen, as she put her phone away again.
Chloe looked up to meet eyes with Becca, suddenly the red heads face was glowing if that's possible as a grin sprung on to her face.
"Becca you're here! Finally" Chloe commented as she reached out to embrace Becca, instinctively she reciprocated Chloe's embrace and the girls held it before slowly releasing each other.
Becca couldn't help but feel Tom's eyes on her, it wasn't a general glace over. It was a full on intense glare, a one which made Becca feel uncomfortable as if she was coming under scrutiny from the man.
Chloe immediately grabbed Becca's attention by dragging her by the hand to the restroom.
Both girls walked over to the sinks, "Urgh I'm glad you came Becs, Tom is so on edge tonight I don't even know how to deal with him" Chloe explained as she reapplied her red lipstick.
Becca couldn't help but stare at the red head in the mirror, Chloe's eye flickered to meet Becca's.
"Awwww Becs if you wanted to try on some on you could have just asked" Chloe said mischievously holding up her lipstick.
Chloe then swivelled round to face Becca, her smirk covering her whole face.
"Red whatever you are thinking…re-think it" Becca said cautiously as she started taking steps back.
Before she could move any further away Chloe grabbed Becca's wrist and yanked her towards her. Chloe was in hysterics as she tried to apply the lipstick on to Becca, Becca was struggling furiously but couldn't help but laugh at the situation.
Chloe now had Becca bent over the sink backwards as she was still trying to apply the lipstick, "CHLOE stop or I will wrestle you to the floor!" Becca managed to screech out.
Chloe had hold of both Becca's wrists as she abruptly stops struggling, she stares down in to the brunettes eyes.
Becca swallows hard as she also stops struggling, the girls are now stood in deathly silence as Chloe is still holding on to Becca's wrists. Chloe's eyes are searching Becca's face.
Becca's unsure what this moment was, all she knew was it was one of the most intense things she has experienced and the thought of leaning in and kissing the red head's lips was all too tempting.
Chloe's eyes flickered down to Becca's lips before shooting back up to her eyes.
"Chloe there you are what's..." the two girls quickly split apart as Aubrey stood at the door way. The blonde's eyes were darting between Chloe and Becca before her eyes landed on Chloe, with a questioning look.
"We were just coming Bre" Chloe quickly scooted away from Becca as she gently pushed Aubrey out the door. Becca was still stood frozen, trying to make sense of what just happened or what nearly happened.
Chloe paused at the door holding it open as she looked back at the brunette "Come on Bec I owe you a drink I believe" Becca done as the red head said and followed her out of the bathroom.
The girls walked back in to the main area, Becca letting Chloe lead the way.
"Hey Chlo get over here I want you to meet somebody" Tom called to Chloe beckoning her over.
He acts as though she is a trophy to just show off to people, dick.
Chloe put up her index finger mouthing over to the man one minute, before turning back round towards Becca.
"Hey it's okay don't worry I know my way to the bar, you go on ahead" Becca tried to sound as chilled as possible.
Inside she was pissed that Tom had interrupted them.
You have no right to be pissed, seriously sort your shit out.
"Okay I'll be right back, get the drinks sorted" Chloe shouted as she walked away.
The small brunette reluctantly made her way through the crowd towards the bar, leaning on it she was lost in thought at what exactly she was doing here.
"Can I get you anything?" Becca looked up to meet the eyes of the bartender, she was a pretty looking brunette.
"Um yeah, can I get a JD and coke and a white wine please" Becca replied, not really paying much attention to anything other than her own thoughts.
"Usually I would presume one of the drinks was for someone else, but the look on your face says otherwise. Is it a two drink kind of night?" The bartender questioned as she began pouring the drinks.
Becca looked up properly at the brunette who seemed genuinely interested in the brunettes reply.
"Ha you could say that…you know typical story, lesbian friend falls for best friend who has a boyfriend" Becca explained as she shook her head, almost cringing at how much of a cliché her life was.
The bartender then began to slow nod
"Ahhh yes of course, don't worry we've all been there" she agreed as she finished pouring up the drinks.
"But if I have learned anything, usually feelings aren't just one sided. There is usually a reason why someone develops feelings for someone, a connection that both people feel" sliding along the two drinks the bartender gave Becca a meaningful smile.
Becca thought about what she said for a moment, of course there were moments when she thought perhaps Chloe did feel what Becca felt towards her.
"Who knows huh, anyway how much do I owe you" Becca questioned reaching for her money in the back of her jeans.
The girl behind the bar subtly shook both hands in front of her "Don't worry about it these are on me, I think you need a freebie to pick you up" she winked to Becca as she began to wipe the bar with a cloth.
Becca smiled "Aw wow thanks, maybe I should open up more often. Get some more freebies" Becca was really grateful towards the girl.
"If you get to show that smile off then I would definitely recommend it" she complimented before walking off.
Becca was about to pick up her and Chloe's drinks before suddenly the music cut out.
What the fuck is going on, a power cut really
Before Becca could think any further a muffled sound was heard over the speakers. The brunette noticed a crowd was gathering in to the middle of the floor, she followed to see what was happening while gazing around looking for the red head.
Becca squeezed through several bodies, being careful not to spill the two drinks in her hands as she made her way further in to the crowd.
Before Becca could walk any further she was suddenly halted to a complete stand still. She stared forward in complete disbelief.
A sudden pain was itching her throat and her stomach felt as though it had dropped to the floor. All Becca could hear now was her heart beat raging through her body. That was until the speakers came in to focus.
*I never thought I would meet someone like you, and now that I have I plan on never letting you go. So…in front of all these people here Chloe Beale…will you do me the honour of being my wife and marry me?*
There in direct eye sight of Becca was the back of Tom on one knee holding a ring up to Chloe who looked completely in shock.
Becca's heart was still pounding as everything around her slowed down. Chloe's face was unreadable. Without warning Chloe's head shot up, her eyes instantly met Becca's. She couldn't read Chloe's face, but her eyes would not stray from Becca's as everyone around her awaited her response.
"I…Tom…." Chloe stuttered looking down at the man. Becca knew her face was a dead give-away at that moment. She couldn't with-hold the look of hurt and shock.
Looking up Becca could see the crowd around them were all waiting silently for Chloe to reply.
Chloe again gazed at Becca, almost as if she was trying to communicate something with her. Chloe suddenly came out of her mental trance.
"Yes…yes I'll marry you Tom" Chloe replied before the man got up from one knee and spun her around, placing the ring on her finger.
I have to get out of here. Now.
As Tom put Chloe back down on the floor, almost instantly, the red head looked straight to Becca.
This time the look she gave Becca was blank, not full of happiness as it should be, her eyes looked distant from the happy moment that was happening around her.
Becca didn't have time to analyse this, she quickly slammed the two drinks down on the nearest table she could find, and shot out of the front door. She didn't know where she was going exactly, but stopped round the corner down the alleyway.
She crouched down the wall as she placed her head in her hands trying to grasp what just happened.
Chloe. Is. Engaged.
The brunette felt sick, of course she didn't have a right to be this cut up about it, she knew this would happen if she let her guard down.
Now here she is again. Devastated.
"Becca…." The brunette looked up hoping it wasn't Chloe, it definitely wasn't her voice. The blonde girl approached her slowly as she crouched down next to her.
Aubrey
"Look if you've came to get me back in there I don't feel very well, I'm going home" Becca was chocking back the tears at this point, determined not to show her emotions to Aubrey.
"I'm not here to try and make you do anything Becca. I'm here to see if you are okay?" Aubrey replied in a concerned tone.
Becca slowly peered up to see the expression on the blondes face, the look of sincerity wasn't something she was used to seeing on her.
"What do you mean…I..I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Becca was a crappy liar but she didn't have the energy for one of Aubrey's rants.
"Becca come on cut the shit, do you think I don't know my best friend well enough to know what's going on in her life. I've been watching you two for month's now, you're clearly in love with her aren't you" Aubrey's words took Becca by surprise.
She knew that her and Chloe were open about their intimate friendship, but for Aubrey to see the situation so clearly like this.
Love…was it love I have for Chloe
"I…I think so. Yes I am, I'm an idiot. If you're going to give me a lecture please can it wait to another day" Becca had broken down to the blonde, unable to hide her feelings anymore following the night's events.
Aubrey Leaned over to the brunette and delicately put her arm around her, as Becca began to sob slowly in to her shoulder.
Becca actually felt comforted at this moment. No awkward tension with the fact the girl who she was sure hated her more than anyone was watching her cry, and being there for her.
"Believe me I'm not here to lecture you Becca. I just want to make sure you get home alright. Please don't think this is an excuse to put moves on me Mitchell" Aubrey tried to joke with the girl, seeing a small smile rise on the brunettes face only to fall again.
The two girls got up as they walked out of the alleyway, letting the silence try to soothe Becca from her hurt emotions.
