"So hang on, in the matter of 24 hours Chloe split up with Tom, you and her are now together and you have a communication ban from Amber? Beca what the hell?" Jesse was struggling to get his head around what Beca was explaining to him.
"Well yeah, it was a long day! Jesse I don't know what to do about Amber…she totally gets we're just friends but Chloe doesn't understand"
Jesse looked over at his brunette friend who was currently getting herself ready for her first real date with Chloe.
"I've got to ask…why are you so keen to even keep a relationship with Amber. The way you talk it's as if you have forgotten everything she has done to you" Jesse asked Beca, he was preparing himself to be verbally attacked in response.
"I haven't forgotten Jesse, of course I haven't. You just get to a point in life where you have to let the past go or it just weighs you down. This thing with me and Chloe…it's just made me realise how blinded I was back then, it's so much more intense with Chloe" Beca shyly brought her head down as she explained her feelings to Jesse.
"Oh fuck you love her dont you!?" Jesse laughed as he started playfully punching Beca.
"Wow let's not throw that word about please, plus I'm not going to tell you if I do before I tell Chloe"
"Erm you kinda just did"
"Back off Swanson, you still haven't gave me any valid advice about the Amber situation"
Jesse stopped smiling as he thought carefully how to help Beca, it wasn't often she asked him for serious advice so he knew it meant a lot to her.
"My honest opinion…let Amber know the situation. Text her and say you want her in your life but for now you can't go any further due to Chloe's wishes" Jesse suggested, Beca was listening intently and nodding as he spoke to her.
"Yeah I guess so…" Beca slowly nodded
"No seriously Becs…do not fuck this up. I've never seen you like this with someone" Jesse tried to drill in to Beca, hoping she was taking him seriously.
"I know Jess, thanks man. It feels like the real deal with her" Beca couldn't help but let a smile creep across her face thinking of the red head.
Beca's phone vibrated in her pocket
*Babe I'm here come outside :) xxx*
"Right that's my cue to go, catch you later loser. Just let yourself out" Beca made her way towards her front door.
"Have fun and Bec…remember what I said" Jesse warned as the brunette walked out.
Beca almost ran down to the front of her building, she'd never felt so excited to go on a date.
As she walked out she spotted Chloe waiting inside a cab for Beca, the brunette swiftly made her way over and got in.
"Hey you" Chloe grinned as she leaned over to give a peck on Beca's lips, as Chloe leaned back Beca took in the sight before her. Chloe was wearing skinny jeans, black high heels and a bright blue blouse, that made her eyes pop even more.
If that was possible
"Hey yourself, you look beautiful" Beca complimented the red head as she brought her hand over to entwine her fingers with Chloe's.
"Aww thanks, as do you" Chloe replied sweetly.
Chloe's gaze then wandered to the window, as she sighed intently as the girls made their way to the restaurant Chloe had chosen.
Shit I still gotta text Amber back
Amber had text Beca earlier in the day, but between meeting up with Jesse and getting sorted for her date Beca didn't have a chance to reply. She discreetly slid her phone out of her pocket, and held her phone to the side so Chloe couldn't see as she typed out a message.
*Amb, really sorry it's last minute but I can't meet tonight. I will explain properly tomorrow. Really sorry again x*
Beca quickly hit send and shoved her phone back in her pocket relieved that the red head hadn't seen. She wasn't trying to hide the fact she text Amber there was nothing to hide about, but she knew Chloe wouldn't appreciate it.
"We're here, come on Bec" Chloe beamed as she slid out of her door and made her way round to Beca's side. The two girls casually walked in to the restaurant, where they were shown to their table.
Once seated the girls picked up their menu's and began to browse the selection of drinks and food.
"You know…I can't believe this is happening" Beca stated as she peaked over her menu to look at the beautiful red head opposite her.
Chloe gently brought her menu down to the table as she peered over to Beca
"And why would that be? It's weird I could always feel this thing between us Beca but just didn't know what it was. Well I think I did, but I was too busy trying to convince myself Tom was right for me" the red head suddenly looked distant as she spoke nostalgically.
"Um…how is Tom? Not like I want to speak about him but its gotta be rough losing someone like you" Beca tried to ask the question without adding to the guilt that the red head was feeling about Tom.
"He's…it's been a day Beca, he's ringing and texting me constantly. If he knew I was out with you here on a date so soon…" Chloe trailed off as she closed her eyes, almost trying to block out an image.
"It would kill him, but I just couldn't wait any longer Beca. After months of wanting to touch you, hold you…kiss you" Chloe's eyes shot up at the last two words. The look alone sent shivers down Beca's spine.
"Well you don't have to wait anymore" Beca smirked as she reached her hand over the table to place it on top of Chloe's. Chloe looked down and bit her bottom lip as her eyes focused on the clasped hands.
"I'm gonna head to the restroom, I'll literally be 2 minutes. If the waiter comes order my usual beverage" Beca winked at Chloe as she made her way towards the restroom.
Chloe watched the brunette walk off and couldn't help but feel elated at how things had turned out. Each time she looked at Beca her stomach dropped, she never felt that with Tom ever.
I wonder if Beca has even had it with anyone…
Chloe sunk back in to her chair as she replayed the thought in her head, Chloe was never been someone to be insecure but she had never felt so
Possessive?
Over somebody. Chloe brought her mind back to reality and saw a light in the corner of her eye. She turned her head to see it was Beca's phone lighting up with a text message.
Do not look, you are not that girl Chloe
Chloe took a sip of the water that was already placed at their table as she waited, although each second her eyes would stray towards the phone. Knowing Beca would be back any minute the red head couldn't help but quickly grab the phone and glance who had text.
As Chloe pressed the button to light up the screen her stomach dropped, only this time it was for a different reason
*Text message Amber*
Chloe was still sat staring at the girls name on the screen, although she had asked Beca not to speak to her here she was texting Beca while they were on their date. Ignoring her instinct to leave it she slid the button on Beca's phone and insisted on reading the text.
*Ditching me huh? Suppose I can let you off this time BUT I want an explanation tomorrow. Guess I'll have to put the red dress to another use…Haha xx p.s. you know what dress I'm referring to ;)*
Chloe's heart was now beating out of her chest, Amber was flirting with Beca and Beca was going to see her tomorrow. Before any further thoughts could enter Chloe's head Beca appeared, she was making her way back to their table.
Chloe quickly locked Beca's phone and slid it back to where the brunette had left it.
"Really the waiter still hasn't been yet? Service kinda sucks in here then" Beca grinned, looking across the table at Chloe.
Chloe's arms were placed flat on the table as two of her fingers were tapping against it, her gaze had drifted off somewhere the other side of the room.
Beca furrowed her brow, confused at the change of mood from 2 minutes ago
What have I done? Maybe it's the Tom thing, maybe this was too soon
"Earth to Chloe…you okay over there?" Beca questioned trying to sound as upbeat and normal as possible.
Chloe still didn't reply but her gaze was now fixed on Beca's, Beca could tell something was off with her.
"You have a message" Chloe bluntly stated as she drank some more water.
"O…kayyyy, that's not what I'm bothered about though are you okay?" Beca wasn't sure why the red head was trying to change the subject, she wanted to know what was bothering her.
"Like I said" Chloe reached for Beca's phone and slid it so it was placed right in front of the brunette.
"You have a message" the red head coldly finished.
Beca was more confused than ever, why would she be so bothered about a message what could possibly have caused such a reaction.
Suddenly Beca froze, a flash of panic came across her as the realisation had hit her of what might have happened.
Amber
"You've realised then, ha" Chloe let out a sarcastic laugh as she shook her head disappointedly at the brunette.
"Well go on then…open it" Chloe urged Beca, Beca could feel her heart beat get faster as she knew how flirtatious Amber could be.
Beca reluctantly looked down at her phone, picked it up and swiped it to reveal the text message.
Oh shit it's worse than I thought, she's never gonna understand this
Beca gradually lifted her head and met Chloe's eyes, she could see how pissed off the red head was. If Beca was being honest with herself, she couldn't blame her.
"Okay…I know it looks bad and I know what you're thinking right now. You must be pretty mad" Beca was cut off instantly by Chloe
"I'm not mad" Chloe replied, in such a tone Beca knew she was furious. The brunette wished she would just express her anger than play the whole quietly angry game.
"Well, you clearly are let's be realistic"
"Realistic? Okay realistically I asked you to do one thing Beca, one thing just so I can feel secure in our relationship and you have done it regardless" Chloe was peering over at the bar, obviously becoming more and more agitated at the lack of service.
"Listen, she means nothing to me. Well not nothing she's Amber, my ex who helped mould me in to the person I am today. I have absolutely no feelings for her Chloe, I text her earlier to let her down for tonight. I was actually going to explain to her tomorrow that I didn't want to see her for a while because I'm totally in…because I'm with you Chloe" Beca avoided using the L word just yet, especially in the middle of a discussion like this.
"For a while…wow Beca, wait to go trying to make me feel better" Chloe mocked the brunette at her choice of wording.
"Look...you mean everything to me Beca, but for this to work we need to be honest with each other. It's the only way…and to not text our ex's"
"You text tom" Beca didn't know where that comment came from, it just slipped out of her subconscious.
"Are you kidding me? I just broke Tom's heart for YOU. To be with YOU, how can you throw that back at me" Chloe's eyes were now threatening to stream with tear.
The red head quickly grabbed her bag and put it over her shoulder
"This…this was a mistake, it was too soon. I need time to think" Chloe stated shaking her head as she tried to fight back the tears. She abruptly stood up from the table and headed towards the exit.
Beca soon followed her, she sprinted out on to the street
"Chloe! Wait up please we need to talk" Beca shouted, only to see the red head still striding away from her.
Beca sprinted off in hopes of catching up with her before she left her sights. She gradually managed to catch up with her and grabbed hold of her arm bringing the red head to a halt.
"Let go of me Beca! I don't wanna talk about this right now" Chloe shouted as she retracted her arm from Beca's grasp.
"NO! Not until you have heard me out, Jesus Chloe you've not even given me a chance to explain" Beca decided to ignore her urge to reach out to the red heads arm again, scared it may provoke another screaming match.
Chloe was staring at Beca at this point, Beca could see her chest rising and falling as she breathed heavy through her anger.
"Fine, let's go back to your place" Chloe demanded as she began to walk off again.
Beca stood still, she wasn't sure why but she was scared to go back to her apartment if it meant fighting with Chloe.
She's gonna leave me, I've fucked this up
Chloe stopped walking when she couldn't hear Beca following, she turned round she seen the brunette just standing there not moving. Although Chloe was pissed with her at the minute, she couldn't help but feel guilty at how sad the small brunette looked.
Chloe walked towards Beca and brought her hand out awaiting Beca to take it
"Come on, it's okay. We're just gonna talk, I promise I'll hear you out" the red head reasoned with Beca hoping she would take her hand.
Beca smiled as she grabbed Chloe's hand as they began to walk off, Chloe could sense Beca's vulnerability and wanted to reassure her she wasn't going anywhere.
The two carried on their walk to Beca's in silence, holding hands but still in silence. Beca was trying to work out how it had gone from the best night ever to this. While Chloe was contemplating how to lock up the jealous streak she has with Amber, for the sake of keeping Beca.
