Chapter Seven
"Are you into me Chloe?"
The ginger's head shot up. Beca laid next to her in the grass, with eyes closed, the sun shining down on her. She looked beautiful, Chloe thought to herself. Quickly she realized that she should answer, but it was why harder than she thought.
"Wh-, I, um, oh god. Am I that obvious?"
The brunette laughed. "No, actually not, I didn't notice but this one girl in my English class asked me since when we're dating and I was a bit thrown off. So I asked her what she meant and she told me that it's written all over our faces that we're into each other... I thought a bit over it and I guess she's right. So... Are you into me?"
Still her eyes were closed, but Chloe knew she would listen to everything she would say.
"Yeah, I am", she whispered, looking away. Beca seemed to open her eyes by now and sat up. She laid a careful hand on Chloe's.
"Great", she said and kissed the red heads cheek, "It would suck if I would be the only one." Chloe's eyes widened and she turned to see Beca smiling lovingly at her.
"Y-You too?", she asked in disbelief. The tiny brunette just nodded, still smiling. It seemed like Chloe really didn't know what to do. She was so overwhelmed by this whole situation that her brain stopped thinking, but her heart slammed against her chest that she was scared it would break anything. She blushed like crazy and tried to hide her excitement as good as possible but seemed to fail.
"You're so adorable", Beca chuckled.
It wasn't something unusual for her to say. The two of them said things like that to each other all the time. That was probably the reason why everybody thought they were together.
"I'm just a bit, I don't even know... Does that mean we're together or something?", the ginger asked hesitantly, scared she crossed a line.
"Only if you want to", Beca told her, her hand never left Chloe's.
"I do, but... You should really think of something better then 'Are you into me Chloe?'", Chloe laughed, Beca joined her.
The brunette got off her feet and Chloe's eyes followed her. "I will think of something. We should go tough, your parents are going to kill me if you're not at home in time", the brunette smirked and so they left their safe spot and drove back into town.
The next day Chloe entered the school building alone. Beca didn't pick her like usual because she 'didn't have time'. So Chloe was indeed a bit annoyed. Yesterday the brunette told her that she's into the redhead and wanted to be with her and now? She couldn't even pick her up because she 'doesn't have the time for that'.
Growling she wanted to walk over to her locker as suddenly a girl walked over to her and gave her a single white rose.
Her favorite. She thought red roses were so cliché that she liked white roses more. She once told Beca, but couldn't remember telling anyone else.
Before she could ask what that was about the girl walked away, not even a second later a boy did the same. And another boy and a girl. This went on till she barely could hold all the roses she had.
Eventually, she reached her locker and when she opened it even more rose petals fell out. She shrieked and jumped back, letting the roses fall down. A soft laugh behind her let her turn around.
"Be-", she started, but Beca cut her off with shaking her head. "I know it took me long enough to realize how perfect you are. In and out. But eventually I did and I couldn't be happier. Because I was scared to destroy such a wonderful friendship I never said anything and silently started to lose hope but thanks to this super nice girl, Erika, I started to notice that you could maybe feel the same. That you maybe could be in love with me too and even when it wasn't the most romantic way to find out if you were, I guess it fitted us pretty well. I mean, you don't call me weirdo all the time without a reason, don't you? But what I want to ask is", Beca grabbed something out of her pocket and kneeled down, smirking slightly, "do you, Chloe Beale, want to be my girlfriend?"
The brunette held a candy ring in her hand. Chloe had to laugh at that but nodded anyway. This was just a typical Beca thing.
"It would be an honor, Miss Mitchell", she said in a mocking voice, taking Beca's hand so she could stand up again. Beca laid a hand on Chloe's cheek and kissed her softly. Cheers around them made the girls smile into the kiss until they parted.
"Well, good that we talked about that", Beca said, laughing.
Chloe shook her head and playfully punched her girlfriend. "You just ruined the whole moment."
"Like you're not used to that Beale", Beca laughed, "And now that I'm your girlfriend it's only getting worse."
They walked down the hallway, hand in hand. "Why are you smiling like a creep?", Chloe asked suddenly. Beca stopped, looking at Chloe with so much love in her eyes that the redhead melted. "Because the girl of my dream is finally my girl."
"Chloe?"
"Chloe? Are you okay?"
"Hey, do you even listen?"
Chloe broke out of her thoughts and looked at the brunette in front of her. She wore a worried expression. "Sorry, I spaced out. What did you say?"
Beca smiled. "Yeah, I could see that. What were you thinking about?"
"The last time you asked me that."
"So you did listen?", Beca smirked and the ginger blushed.
"Yeah", she whispered, looking down at her hands.
"Well... Are you?", the tiny brunette asked again.
Chloe thought about the question for a moment. She was, that wasn't what she thought about, she thought if it would be a good idea to tell her former lover.
"You're not really subtle, you know that?"
"Sure. You know me, I'm better being blunt", Beca smirked at the redhead and Chloe could see that she waited for an answer. Her eyes practically screamed hope.
"I am."
The brunette's eyes softened immediately and she beamed but didn't move.
"But Beca, I still-"
Beca held her hand up, closed eyes. "Yup, I know. You still want to see where this goes, it's okay. I already guessed that. I just, I needed to know, you know? I feel a lot better now that I know. I'm not so scared anymore."
"Scared of what?", Chloe frowned. Why should Beca be scared?
"Fighting a losing battle again."
Chloe turned to her bag and searched for a book. After a few moments she finally found it, opened it and found the thing she was looking for. She turned the book to Beca, who watched her with a confused expression. Chloe knew this quote and read out loud while Beca read it by herself.
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Tzu."
Beca looked up at the redhead.
"I guess, you'll win this time", Chloe just said, before grabbing her book and left. She turned around one last time and smiled at the brunette, who seemed to get exactly what she meant. She loved her after all this time but needed right now a proof that Beca did the same.
