It was nearing closer to 5:30, Chloe was at least 10 minutes early to ensure that Beca wasn't there before her. The redhead was sat on the edge of a fountain near the entrance to the park, she made sure that she had a clear view of the gate for when Beca arrived. Chloe still couldn't shift the brunettes face from her mind, she was mindlessly staring up and around her at the trees with the afternoon summer sun shining through the fresh green leaves as they were swaying with the subtle breeze, just cool enough to give faint relief from the heat. Chloe was wondering about how Beca's deep blue eyes would become even deeper in the sunlight, about the way her hair would move slightly in the breeze. The way Chloe would walk closer to the brunette and brush a stray strand behind her ear. The way she would look Beca in the eyes and they would both lean in to ki-

"Stop!" Chloe whisper shouted her herself. Knowing that she couldn't get her hopes up. Just like in the bar, the thought had almost summoned the brunette. Beca walked through the large decor iron gates of the park dressed in her usual plaid shirt, skinny jeans and ankle high boots, still looking aimlessly for Chloe. The redhead couldn't help but savour the look of loss in Beca's eyes, it was almost like another little peek beneath her badass façade. Chloe quickly walked over to Beca and tap her on the shoulder, when she turned around, their eyes locked. For a moment they simply looked into each other's blue eyes, Chloe's being that bright beautiful blue, and Beca's being that deep full blue, until Beca broke her gaze.

"Hey red." Beca said. Chloe instantly blushed at the use of this new nickname. "What have you got behind your back?" Beca started to move round to see but Chloe wouldn't allow it.

"It's a little lame but I thought why not get you a little present?" Chloe blushed at her own words and pulled out the purple cuddly dragon toy from behind her back. Beca's hand rose to her mouth in and instant as she supressed a scream of excitement. The brunette started jumping up and down until she reached out her arms to hug the toy. Chloe handed it over only to have it nigh on snatched from her grasp. Beca passionately hugged the toy. A few seconds later Beca realised what she was doing and quickly composed herself back to her I don't care less attitude and said a quick thanks to Chloe, still supressing the grin on her face.

"Breath a word of that to anyone and I will end you." Beca said with a completely deadpanned faced.

"It's okay I won't tell anyone you're a complete softie underneath all that pure badass you carry around with you." Chloe said, winking at Beca, only to receive the classic eye roll from the brunette.

The two girls walk through the park, making small talk and a flirty comment once in a while. Beca didn't realise what was happening. She would always block people out, never let them get close. Even though it was small talk, she could feel the beautiful redhead pulling her walls down brick by brick, and she could do nothing about it. The two sat on a bench that was next to a lake and as they were speaking, Beca could do nothing but admire the girl sat in front of her, the way her hair falls across herself and she sits almost with pride in herself. One thing Beca would never forget about this girl, was her laugh. It was the sweetest, most heart-warming laugh, and every time they cracked a joke, Beca could feel the butterflies in her stomach.

After some time of conversation they fell into a comfortable silence, both looking out across the lake, both wondering about the other. Until Chloe broke the silence.

"So I never actually asked, but how old are you?" Chloe asked. Still looking over the lake.

"I'm 21, just finishing my third year at Barden University. How about you Red?" Beca asked, more interested in Chloe's answer than she would ever show.

"I'm 22, just finishing my senior and final year at Barden." Chloe replied.

Beca was in shock for a moment. Finishing my senior and final year. The words echoed around her head for a while. "Chloe's leaving. Like everyone else." Beca thought to herself. She quickly snapped out of her trance but only because she knew Chloe was looking at her.

"What's wrong Becs?" Chloe asked, in a voice that made Beca's heart melt. Chloe's eyes were looking at Beca in the way you would look at a loved one, and Beca couldn't help but feel reassured. So she decided to let Chloe know what was wrong, not now but she will defiantly talk to her about it.

"Another time? I Mean I will tell you I just… make sure of something first." Beca said with a lot more confidence than she actually possessed. Chloe nodded her head slowly and smiled. The redhead lifted her arms as an invitation for a cuddle. Beca nodded slowly with light smile. She leaned in and the read head positioned her so that the she was laying in the older woman's lap. Chloe began to stroke the stray hair behind Beca's ear. Beca cuddled into her cuddly dragon.

"You're falling Beca. Stop before it's too late." She though. The brunette quickly pushed this from her mind and let herself entirely relax. She was going to make the most of it.

. . .

Later that afternoon they went to the same pizzeria and just talked. Mainly small talk again, with again just as much flirting. They clicked. Like soul mate kind of clicked. They both found each other fascinating and they concentrated on every word the other had to say. If anyone hadn't known any better, they would have already assumed they were together. This night was perfect for both of them. When it was time to leave, the both stood in silence, just smiling and looking at each other. They were stood close. It took every ounce of Chloe's strength not to scoop up the girl and carry her home to bed. But she knew that there where things that Beca had to sort out and she would respect. Instead, Chloe opened her arms and Beca crashed into them. They lingered in each other's arms for a little while, both relishing in the warmth of each other's bodies. As they pulled away from each other, their hands brushed together and they both felt a spark of energy flow through them.

"See you soon Becs." Chloe said smiling whilst gradually stepping away.

"Make sure you text me you sexy redhead." Beca replied with a wink. They both turned away from each other, stealing glances back at each other and occasionally catching eyes. They both got into their cars and made their way home.

. . .

Chloe-

Chloe opened the front door to find Aubrey waiting with a smirk on her face.

"What?" Chloe asked.

"Your face." Aubrey began. "It's the face of someone who has seen something amazing. You can't let her go Chlo'." Aubrey's face was filled with happiness for Chloe. Chloe pulled them into a hug and just grinned. She knew she was falling. She had no doubt about that.

x-x-x

Beca-

Beca struggled with the lock on her apartment door, but once she was in, she placed her gift from Chloe onto the couch and headed for the bathroom. She washed her face in cold water and raised her face in front of the mirror.

"I hope to god this isn't a dream." She said to herself. The brunette smiled and then admitted to herself the thing she hasn't been able to say for a very long time.

"Maybe she'll stay."
