Chapter Nine

Beca and Aubrey worked on a new set list that night and spent the next few days with practicing the new songs and choreographies. Chloe was glad that the two girls got along so well, but still she felt a pang of jealousy when Aubrey talked about Beca and that she was actually really cool. The redhead knew that it was her fault that Beca still didn't talk to her, though. She knew that she should finally talk to the brunette, but she didn't know how.

Chloe was tired of apologies. Tired of fights. Tired of trying to push her feelings away. Tired of everything that kept Beca and her away from each other. And Beca felt exactly the same.

Aubrey knew how Chloe felt, the redhead never said anything, but she could see how much her best friend and Beca suffered, so she decided to help them out. "Hey, Chloe would it be okay with you if you would stay a bit longer today and talk about new mashups with Beca? I have so much stuff to do for class and you are the only one who knows which kind of music I like", she explained, winking.

Chloe blushed and seemed to get what Aubrey's intention was. "Sure, does Beca know?"

"I'll tell her later. Don't worry about it." Two hours later every girl was tired like hell. They had to dance the whole time, jog and whatever.

The blonde walked over to Beca and sat down. "Chloe is working with you today and don't you dare you don't want to. I know that you do, so shut up. Thank me later", with that she left and let Beca and Chloe alone.

"Hi", Chloe said shyly. Beca just sent her nod and pulled her laptop out of her bag. The redhead sighed deeply.

"Listen Beca, I'm tired of all this", Beca looked at her now and listened in silence, "I'm sorry that I didn't stand up for you when Aubrey shouted at you and I'm sorry that I didn't do it back in high school, but that is our past Beca. I can't change what I did, okay? I just want you back into my life and the past days Aubrey rambled about you and me being away from you made me realize that even more. So please could we-"

Beca cut Chloe's speech off by kissing her on the lips. It took Chloe not long to kiss the brunette back, but before she could deepen the kiss, Beca pulled back.

"I'm sorry I just couldn't fight that anymore." Chloe stood there, still eyes closed, but eventually she opened them. "I'm glad you didn't. But what does that mean now?"

"That means that I don't want to pretend anymore that it's easy for me to ignore my feelings towards you. I love you and you love me, so what's holding us back?"

"Our past, I guess. We have to get over it and start new, you know?"

Beca thought for a minute. Her eyes lit up when she had an idea. "Wait a second", she said and left the auditorium. Chloe stayed and looked confused after the brunette. A few moments later Beca walked in, not looking at Chloe she sat down. Suddenly she turned to her and jumped a bit.

"Oh! I didn't see you there! I'm Beca, and you?", she asked, acting surprised.

Chloe burst out in laughter. "You're such a dork."

"Oh, um, well. Thanks, but still, what's your name?", Beca asked again.

The redhead decided to play along. This could be funny after all. "It's Chloe. It's a pleasure to meet you Beca."

Beca smiled satisfied and took Chloe's outstretched hand. The two girls acted like that the whole time they worked on the mash-ups. It was actually really funny. After almost one and a half hour, they packed, their stuff and left.

"So Chloe", Beca said and turned to Chloe, who looked at her with an amused smile on her lips, "After we spent the evening together, I wanted to ask if you would like to go out with me?"

Chloe's heart hammered in her chest. "Like a date?"

"Like a date", Beca smiled.

"I'd love to", the redhead smiled and kissed Beca's cheek. The brunette blushed and beamed at Chloe. "What about tomorrow? I'll pick you up at 8?" "Yeah, sounds good Becs."

Chloe and Beca talked a bit and then left for their rooms.

The next day Beca picked Chloe up like she said. She refused to tell the redhead where they were heading, even after countless amounts of Chloe to get it out of her. After a pretty long car drive, Beca stopped the vehicle. "Where are we?", Chloe asked. The sun was about to set, so the sky was in a light orange. "Come on. I'll show you", Beca said and got out of the car.

Beca leads Chloe by taking her hand and then walked over to a tree. The ginger could hear crickets and birds. "Do you remember it?", Beca asked softly. And suddenly it hit her. "Beca... It looks exactly like our spot", Chloe responded. The brunette nodded. "We had a lot of great moments there. I thought it would be nice if we were having something like that again. Somethings that's just ours." Tears welled up in Chloe's eyes and she threw herself at the younger woman."Wait, I have something else", Beca pulled away, smirking slightly.

She walked back to her car and grabbed some stuff. It was a blanket and a picnic bucket. Inside the bucket were Chloe's favorite ice cream, her favorite juice, and a candle in a glass.. Beca laid the blanket on the ground and both of them sat down. "You remember it all?", Chloe asked in disbelief. "I would never forget stuff like that. Believe me or not, but I loved moments like that." "I loved them too."

They fell into a comfortable silence and ate their ice cream. Suddenly Beca spoke up again.

"What happened to us Chloe?"

"We were too young to handle the situation on our own. It wasn't the right time back then", Chloe answered honestly.

"I always thought we would last forever."

"We do Beca."

"What?", Beca asked in shocked and turned to look at Chloe who wore a warm smile.

"We do Beca. I love you. I never stopped and only stuff like this prove that we do. We didn't end, we just made a break. We needed that. Now we're older and now we can talk. We both grew up and honestly, I wouldn't change anything. Because being here, with you, now, is all I could ask for."

The sun already set, and the sky was in a deep shade of blue now and the candle Beca brought spent them a bit light. Small fireflies flew over their heads. It was sickeningly cute and romantic.

"I really do love you Chloe", was all that Beca said, but it was enough for Chloe to bring their lips together for a second time this week. The kiss was slow but conveyed everything that they had in their minds. Memories, desire, happiness and most importantly love.

Late that night Beca and Chloe drove back to the campus. Chloe fell asleep during the ride. When Beca reached the campus' parking lot she softly woke Chloe. The redhead shot up and looked around. "Did I fell asleep?", she asked. Beca chuckled and nodded, smiling softly.

"Oh no. I'm sorry", she looked down at Beca's hands, "We have to get you to the hospital Becs."

"No, I'll handle that on my own. Kimmy Jin is actually pretty helpful when I'm hurt", the brunette laughed.

She had cut herself when she tried to cut Chloe and her initials into the tree. Chloe thought it was such a cheesy thing to do, but loved it anyway. But Beca had put too much pressure at the knife in her hand, that she slipped and had now a deep and long cut from her left index finger to her wrist. The brunette still insisted that they stayed a bit longer because it was so peaceful, but after a few minutes Chloe didn't stop telling her that she needed to go to the hospital. So Chloe didn't look very satisfied when Beca told her that Kimmy Jin would take care of her hand. She would had rather take Beca to the hospital.

Eventually, she let go and Beca walked her to her dorm room.

"Goodnight Chloe", Beca whispered before capturing their lips. A simple goodnight kiss turned into a make out session. Chloe giggled when she pulled away and Beca blushed.

"Goodnight Beca."

Have a nice day or night, or whatever! Oh and I'm not so good at writing this romance stuff, so I'm sorry. Oh god, so many sorry's tonight!
