A/N: Hey everyone! thanks for much for the feedback so far. Shout out to smardiculous. Thanks for the comment, it made my day :) Here's an update for you guys, I Hope you enjoy!
As the first week of school came to an end, Beca came home from school all smiles and a positive vibe radiating off her. Jesse who was already over, noticed the weird body language but just let it slide. She'd been acting like this for about enough time for Jesse to say something.
"You're very chipper today." She looked at him for a bit until answering.
"Aren't I always chipper?"
"Never. Not like this. You're, I don't know, acting different."
"Acting different? Like how?"
"I don't know dude, You're like happier or something. Did you win the money off the lottery ticket you took from me!? If so, you're giving me 85% of it."
"First of all, that's the weirdest percent. Second no, well it was only like 5 bucks but that's how much you got it for so congrats you got a free lottery ticket."
"Damn. But seriously what's your deal?"
"There's no deal, I'm sorry if I seem weird I didn't notice I guess I'm in a weird mood. Just go home and get ready for your stupid game tonight."
"Fine. Ill let it slide, for now!"
"Whatever weirdo, ill see you at the game."
"Later Bec!"
Jesse and Beca live on the same street. They have always been close, literally and figuratively. With their mothers being siblings they have always lived near each other since being the only children in both families. Both parents wanted to keep not only their children close but for them to stay close to each other as well. Before Jesse and Beca were born the sisters lost a brother and it was traumatic. He was going through severe depression and couldn't take it anymore. He ended his life. It was really hard on them and it wasn't easy to get through. It took a long while but they eventually got back to being okay. They made a promise they would always stay near one another and be there for them. Then they ended up getting pregnant at the same time and Before you know it there was Beca, three months after her Jesse came along and they moved into the neighborhood they are in now. The two cousins have lived there their whole life. As they grew up they got closer than anyone, they became best friends, did almost everything together and could always talk to one another about anything.
As it drew close to 5 o'clock. Beca started to get ready for the game. She dressed in the school colors (Maroon, Black and White) and was out the door. When she got there Jesse was already out on the field warming up, he caught a glimpse of her from afar and gave her a nod. When it was almost time for the game to begin he came back to the bench where Beca was talking to Benji.
"Hey guys."
"Hey Jess, its gonna be a good game I can feel it." Benji said.
"Yeah dude, you already know were gonna win." Beca chimed in.
"Hey, don't jinx it Mitchell." Jesse nudged her.
"Come on, these guys don't stand a chance."
"You don't know that. Expect the unexpected."
"Okay, Julie Chen."
"Haha good one." Jesse said sardonically. "Just go sit down. Emily's up there already. Oh and hey maybe you two can join Chloe over there, introduce them. I have a feeling Chloe will be with us soon.
Beca's heart jumped at what he just said. "WHAT! ... I mean where do you see her." Beca whipped her head back and fourth trying to spot the redhead she thinks she got whiplash.
"Over there." Jesse pointed at the top left section of the bleachers and there she was, as beautiful as ever. Her blue eyes glistened the way the night lights beamed over her at the perfect angle. Beca started to sweat she got so nervous. She doesn't know why this girl has such an affect on her. She stood there for a while contemplating if she should go over there or not. She wished Jesse and Benji good luck then made her way over to Emily.
"Hey Em."
"Hey Beca! I wasn't sure if you were coming."
"And miss our first home game of the season, no way. Hey, ill be right back okay? I want to introduce you to someone."
After Emily gave her nod, Beca made her way over to where Chloe was seated. "This seat taken?" Chloe looked up to her right and immediately, a smile spread across her face.
"Hey, no, not al all." Beca sat down next to her.
"I didn't know you were gonna be here tonight. What made you come? And why alone?"
"Well, my mother heard a rumor that our team is supposedly pretty decent, so she thought it would be a cool idea if we went to go see the game, hence why I'm here and not alone. She went to the bathroom like 10 minutes ago, I'm pretty sure she fell in. By the way, I'm loving how you're repping with the school color's." She gave her a wink.
"Yeah, I like to show my support for the team and Jesse. By the way, that is no rumor, we are awesome, you'll see. Its very sweet that you have a mom and daughter date. Cant believe you didn't check on her yet, she could have been attacked and you wouldn't know. Then she would blame you the rest of her life."
"Oh no, I don't want that. You're right I'm gonna go check on her." Just as she said that her mother returned. "Mom, hey I thought you might have fallen in or gotten attacked."
"Oh no I ran into some very nice people and we got caught up in conversation." It was then she noticed the brunette siting next to her daughter "Who's your friend?"
"Mom this is my friend, Beca Mitchell."
"Its really nice to meet you Mrs. Beale." She held out her hand for her to shake and she pulled her into a bone crushing hug.
"Its so nice to finally meet you Beca! Chloe has told me about you."
"Has she?" a smile creped on her face.
"Don't flatter yourself Mitchell."
"Please join us Beca." Mrs. Beale said patting down on the bench signaling her to sit.
"I would love too. I'll just be right back. I have someone I want to introduce to you Chloe."
"Okay." Chloe smiled.
Beca walked back over to where Emily was. "Hey come sit over here with me. I want you to meet someone." Emily walked over with back back to Chloe and her mother. "Chloe, this is Emily, Emily this is Chloe, she's new here. Chlo this is Benji's girlfriend."
"Ohhh! Its so nice to meet you, Benji is such a sweetheart. He always talks about you. You're so beautiful."
Feeling a little bit of jealousy at that comment Beca chimed in. "Okay! Games about to start. Should we start placing bets on if we'll win or not?"
"Oh you know we will." Emily stated.
"Wow, if you guys are so confident, the team must be good."
"Oh yeah, were really awesome! We won the state championship three years in a row." Emily said proudly.
Soon after that the game began. "What number is Jesse?" Chloe asked. "twenty-five and Benji is eleven." Emily answered back. The game started quick with a goal about ten minutes in. as the night went on it started to get chilly so Chloe started to scoot closer to Beca. Beca felt this and leaned into her further. Jesse was on fire tonight scoring goals left and right the score was 6-2, us with the lead.
"Dang Jesse's good." Chloe said
"Yeah, he's been playing since seventh grade. He keeps getting better. I feel bad for Benji, they don't give him enough playing time as Jesse." Beca answered back.
"Poor Benji. How are you and Jesse related again?"
"My mom and his mom are sisters."
"That explains last names Swanson and Mitchell."
"Exactly."
"Hey guys, I'm going to the concession stand, do you want anything?"
"No thanks, I'm good." Chloe answered and Beca told her to get some skittles for her.
"Almost to the end. Looks like were gonna seal the deal again tonight."
"Yeah, I underestimated you guys. Everyone is so good."
"All the guys have basically played together since the beginning that's why they work so well together."
"What about you Mitchell. You play any sports?"
"I play soccer but that's in the spring. They have boys soccer now in the fall. That way we don't have to step over each others schedule."
"Wow I can't wait to see you play."
"Oh, you'll be impressed don't you worry."
"Oh yeah? Is that your intention, to impress me?"
"That's always my intention." She smiled
They looked at each other smiling. Beca just sat there staring into those beautiful blue orbs. She took in how beautiful Chloe was, her perfect skin, perfect lips, perfect jaw, everything about Chloe was perfect to her and there goes the fluttering of her stomach at the way Chloe was looking at her, adoringly. She kept glancing at her lips then eyes, she couldn't take it anymore, the feeling she had was magnetizing, she started to slowly lean in, everyone was too involved in the game to notice and it seemed like Chloe was leaning in too just as she felt Chloe's hot breath on her lips, everyone shot up cheering. They jumped and broke apart, the winning goal was scored by none other than Jesse Swanson.
They both stood up and watched all the players run onto the field tackling Jesse to the ground. Beca was disappointed she missed it but she wasn't that mad because all she could think about was how she would rather have kissed Chloe's lips. Emily came back with Beca's skittles a little bit after that.
"Way to come late Em."
"Hey, I got stuck talking to people. Believe me I tried to excuse myself but they just kept talking."
"Its okay, Jesse scored the final shot, no surprise there."
"We have to go congratulate them."
"Yeah go catch up with them, ill meet you in a bit."
"Okay, bye Chloe it was so nice to meet you. Hopefully we can catch up together sometime." "Yeah I'd like that." Chloe smiled back. As she went back down, Beca turned to Chloe.
"So, how was your first Barden lacrosse game experience? Was it everything you hoped for and more?"
"I don't know how I ever went my whole life without seeing a Barden lacrosse game. My life is forever changed." Beca chuckled.
"So I guess I should go down there and congratulate them. I'm glad you came. Maybe you could come over tonight for a little after party were having? Its at Jesse's again."
"Uh, yeah, sure, I'd love to hangout."
"Cool, I'm looking forward to seeing you." Beca smiled.
"Me too, ill see you later." The two girls came together for what was suppose to be a quick hug but they stayed like that for a bit. Chloe resting her head of Beca's shoulder and Beca rubbing her back gently. Chloe breathed in Beca's scent and felt content in her arms. They broke apart and she totally forgot Chloe's mother was there who was watching them with close eyes.
"It was so nice to meet you Mrs. Beale. I hope we can do this again soon."
"You too Beca, you should come over for dinner one night, so I can get to know you better."
"That sounds great, I'd love that." I'll see you later Chloe.
As Chloe watched Beca hop away down the bleachers she looked at her mother who was grinning at her.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You like this girl."
"What? No, come on mom I haven't known her that long."
"Don't deny it sweetie. I can see it and ill tell you what, she likes you too."
"I don't know what your talking about, lets just go."
Chloe was blushing, was what her mother just said true? And how could she tell? She thought back to a little while ago and realized they almost kissed. Maybe Beca does like her and she knows for sure, her mother was right, she really liked this girl.
Beca went down to the field and congratulated the boys on a game well played. "Dude, great game, you killed it!" she said to Jesse.
"Thanks Bec. Listen I didn't invite as many people tonight as there were at Monday nights party. I don't want anything out of control so lets just keep it chill at least 20 people."
"Okay cool, I just invited Chloe so 21 now. Hope you don't mind"
"That gorgeous girl? Of course not."
"Watch it Swanson."
"Someone has the hot's for the new redhead." Then it hit him. "Oh my god! That's why you've been so chipper this week! I knew it! You have been acting all different since she got here. Aw Beca is finally letting herself be happy. After Heather, I never thought you'd let anyone back in."
"Don't bring her up Jess, you know how I feel. But Chloe man, okay I like her, she just different, she gorgeous and funny. I've had so much fun in school this past week. She gets me, she can be sarcastic with me and joke around, she's sweet and when I look into her eyes I feel so comfortable; I could get lost in them. This is a feeling I can't shake Jess."
"I'm happy for you Becs. Come on, lets get out of here. Lets go find out if Chloe feels for you too."
