Anyway, read on and Enjoy! :)
Things have been going great with Beca and Chloe these past couple months. Being intimate has brought them closer together and they couldn't be happier. Both girls were currently in Beca's room working on anatomy homework when Beca thought she would break out her guitar and work on some music. She sat in the chair in the corner of the room tuning it, while Chloe's eyes watched her from her spot on the bed.
"Whatcha doing?" Chloe asked, nipping on the tip of her pencil.
"Just tuning my guitar. I wrote this new song and I want to make sure it comes out exactly how it sounds in my head."
Chloe was intrigued, she knew Beca always carried around a journal labeled 'songs' but she never read through any of it or even heard her play them. She doesn't want to pry because they could be personal or she doesn't want to share them. Beca always gives her mixes of songs that she says remind her of Chloe which are always so sweet and perfect but never an original, she hopes she can get Beca to share on with her soon.
"Can I hear it?" Chloe asked gently, hoping Beca would say yes.
"Not yet, it has to be perfect." Noticing Chloe's face fall a little, Beca got up and gave Chloe a kiss on the cheek.
"I've never shared my original songs before. Mostly because they carried a lot of hurt in them from things that got me down. I use to channel all that anger into my songs to get it out of my system. I don't want you to hear my negative thoughts. I can tell you now that ever since you came into my life, my songs are much brighter than they were before and I thank you for that. For bringing me joy and love, I promise I will play this song for you, I'm just waiting for it to be completely ready."
Her speech seemed to ease Chloe's mind. She did however, think to herself about what Beca said about being hurt and she didn't like that very much. It makes her wonder what has happened in her past to get her so upset that led her to write sad songs.
"You know you can always come talk to me if anything is bothering you or making you upset." Chloe took her hand and kissed her palm.
Beca smiled at the gesture, Chloe really blows her away with her gentleness and huge heart. "I know, love. Thank you."
Chloe smiled and leaned in to kiss her. What started out as just a couple kisses turned into a full on make out session until Beca stopped it.
"As much as I would love to keep kissing you, we have Amy's pool party to get too so get changed or we'll be late." Beca gave Chloe a playful slap on her butt to move her along and Chloe playfully smacked her back then went off to go get changed.
Fat Amy was hosting her first ever pool party which she promised would be 'the best summer party' they ever went too, "I'll be the judge of that" Beca said. The two girls finished getting changed and got in Beca's car to go pick up Jesse to take him with them. When they arrived at Amy's house the first thing they noticed was a huge bounce house in the front yard.
"What the..." Beca said, pulling into the driveway.
"I thought this was a pool party not an elementary school party." Jesse wondered.
"I'm wondering the same thing." Beca answered.
All three of them got out of the car and made their way to the front door. There were people in and around the bounce house, some Beca even recognized. When they rang the door bell Fat Amy answered accompanied by Stacie.
"What up shawshank!" She greeted Beca. "Come on you guys, don't just stand there come on in, ill give you the tour."
"Why do you have a bounce house in your front yard?" Beca questioned walking into the house reaching behind her for Chloe's hand.
"All pool parties have bounce house's, duh." She says like it's the most obvious explanation in the world.
"Back in Tasmania, we always had pool slash bounce house parties, get with the program BM." Beca just put her hands up in mock defense. Chloe giggled as Amy showed them around the rest of the house. It was nice, very spacious, very Amy. She led them to the backyard where they found the rest of the group such as Benji, Emily, Aubrey, and Bumper.
The backyard was awesome with a net set up for some volleyball or badminton (which is Beca's favorite). The pool is in ground with a black fence surrounding it. There are some people already in the pool and some sitting at the table's nearby. It's very humid and sunny outside, so its really a perfect day to have this party.
Beca takes Chloe's hand pulling her to the side of the pool where Amy has some lawn chairs.
"You coming in with me, Beale?" Beca winked at Chloe taking off her shirt, revealing her bikini top. Chloe eyed her chest possessively before grabbing Beca by the waist and pulling her flush against her.
"Are you trying to seduce me, Mitchell?" Chloe asked biting her lip.
"Maybe, maybe not." Beca replied innocently. "Why? Is it working." She smirked backing up near the pool. "If you want me, you're gonna have to come get me." and with that, Beca jumped into the pool.
Chloe ripped her clothes off and joined Beca jumping into the far end of the pool. Coming up for air, Chloe grabbed Beca pulling her into her body, wrapping her legs around the brunette's waist, sharing a few kisses. Everyone seemed to ruin their moment jumping in all around them.
They played volleyball in the pool. One side consisted of: Jesse, Amy, Benji, and Chloe. While the other side had: Beca, Stacie, Aubrey, and Emily. Beca's team ended up being victorious with Aubrey, Stacie and Emily being tall enough to jump and hit them. Beca, not so much, they put her on spiking duty and man did she pack a mean spike.
As the night got darker, Beca and Chloe were cuddling on the hammock, while the other sat around the campfire. Something was definitely brewing between Jesse and Aubrey the two girls could feel it, though they kept their distance. Beca made a mental note to ask Jesse about it later if she could catch him with Aubrey not being around.
"Sooo, when are you gonna play me a song of yours?" Chloe asked stroking her fingers back and forth on Beca's stomach.
"You're still on that?"
'Of course! Listen Becs, you're talented, you're creative I don't know why it should be a problem for me to hear what you've got. Your mixes are my favorite; I listen to them everyday. I smile when I hear them, I'm so proud of everything you've made. But I want to hear your lyrics, what comes from your heart, please let me hear?"
Chloe gave her best puppy dog eyes and they worked, Beca is a sucker for everything Chloe Beale does. She doesn't know why she is keeping her songs from the redhead, maybe because Chloe is right, they come from the heart and she's gonna be putting her heart and soul into those lyrics, her very essence and that scares her. Her songs are her feelings; she doesn't want to feel vulnerable. She's scared Chloe wont like them. Behind the façade she has her sensitivity but for Chloe, she'll risk it all.
"Tonight, baby. I promise." She seals the deal with a kiss.
"I'm going to go get a drink, you want one?" Chloe asked getting up. Beca couldn't even respond because Chloe getting up, unbalanced the hammock and sent Beca flipping over onto the grass with a 'oofh'.
"Oh my god! Baby, are you okay?" Chloe asked trying not to laugh. Eventually she couldn't contain her giggles and started laughing while she helped Beca up.
"Yeah, thanks jerkbag. Go get your stupid drinks." Beca teased.
"I'm so sorry." Chloe said in between giggles. "What hurts? Do you need a backrub?"
"You owe me one after that." Beca said kicking Chloe in the behind. "Go get your drinks. I'm gonna go hang by the fire."
"Okay, if you're sure." Chloe kissed Beca on the cheek then went over to the drinks.
"And try not to hurt anyone else while you're over there!" Beca shouted to Chloe as she was walking away.
"It was an accident don't hold it against me!" The ginger shouted back.
"Whatever you say, Beale."
Beca walked over to the fire pit sitting in between Jesse and Emily on the logs. Most of the people went home except for the main group of Jesse, Benji, Stacie, Aubrey, Cynthia Rose, Emily, Bumper and Lily. Then there was Amy of course, she's the host and Beca's redheaded girlfriend. She's glad this is who stayed, everyone always talks to her for her popularity and she's sick of it. The group was roasting marshmallows. It was a full moon and the sky was pretty. Beca noticed Jesse make flirty eyes with Aubrey across the fire.
Beca nudged him. "What's going on between you two. You should just go for it!"
Jesse shook his head. "Not yet, I'm waiting for the right time. I really like her, I don't want to mess this up. I don't want her to think I'm some lacrosse jerk who wants to 'pump her and dump her'. I want to show her not all guys are asshole's."
"Dude, look at the way she's looking at you. I can assure you she doesn't think that. She really likes you too, so you better act on it just like I did. Trust me man, it will be worth it. Happiness is the best" Beca put a hand on her cousin's shoulder and looked up. "Here comes my happiness now." Chloe came over, huge smile and all and plopped a seat right on the brunette's lap.
Chloe nuzzled her head into Beca's neck, sighing contently. "Can we go home, I'm tired." The ginger whispered into Beca's ear.
"Sure, baby. Just let me say bye to everyone." Chloe nodded and got off her lap. Beca said she was taking the redhead home because she was sleepy. The two girls bid her farewell's and Beca carried Chloe to her car and went to driver her home when Chloe insisted they go back to Beca's.
"Aren't you getting tired of me and my bed?" Chloe had spent the last three nights in Beca's bed with her.
"Never, I sleep better with you anyway. I need you, you and your bed are like a drug, its way comfier than my bed at home, I might have to call someone to come help me steal it." Beca chuckled at her girlfriend's silly behavior.
"My house it is then." Beca smiled, leaning over to run her hand against Chloe's thigh.
"Plus, someone owes me a song." Chloe smirked.
"This was your plan all along, wasn't it?"
"Yes, am I devious?" Beca laughed.
"Very devious."
As they pulled into Beca's driveway all of a sudden Chloe got like a second wind because she was sprinting to the door and up the stairs in a minute, being considerate enough to not disturb the brunette's parents. Beca bolted up the stairs trying to keep up with the redhead but she was faster which is surprising since Beca plays soccer and she's very good on her feet.
Chloe bounced up and down on the brunette's bed chanting "Song! Song! Song! Song!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Beca shot back.
Chloe got comfy on the bed while Beca grabbed her guitar and tuned it again. "This is one of the first songs I wrote about you and its my favorite, so be gentle. If it sucks, please lie." Chloe giggle but grabbed Beca's hand rubbing small circle on it.
"Beca, I know I will love it, don't get so down on yourself. I'm proud of everything you write. Now let me hear it! I'm so excited I can't contain myself!"
"I can tell by the way your bouncing around like a fish out of water." Beca smirked and Chloe gave her a playful slap on the arm.
"Play!" the redhead shouted one last time.
"Okay, this one is called 'Yours' and its just for you Miss Beale." Beca winked and started to play.
"I was a boat stuck in a bottle
that never got the chance to touch the sea
just forgot on the shelf
no wind in the sails
going nowhere with no one but me
I was one in one-hundred billion
A burned out star in a galaxy
Just lost in the sky wondering why
Everyone else shines out but me"
Chloe is tearing up already she she hasn't even gotten to the chorus. She is so proud of Beca and is so lucky.
"But…
I came to life when I first kissed you
The best me has her arms around you
You make me better than I was before
Thank god I'm Yours"
Okay now Chloe is sure she is crying.
"I was a worn out set of shoes
wandering the city street
another face in the crowd
head looking down
lost in the sound of lonely melody
empty pockets at a roulette
always landing on a lost bet
just live for the spin and hope for the win
go all in just to lose again"
Beca and Chloe's eyes locked as she sang the chorus hoping to get all the emotions she felt out in the open and really show Chloe how much she means to her.
"But…
I came to life when I first kissed you
The best me has her arms around you
You make me better than I was before
Thank god I'm Yours
The worst me is just a long gone memory
You put a new heartbeat inside of me
You make me better than I was before
Thank god I'm Yours"
Beca doesn't know what she was so worried about. Of course Chloe would love it and she knows by the way Chloe is looking at her, like she cured fucking cancer or something.
"I was a boat stuck in a bottle
that never got the chance to touch the sea"
Eye contact was never broken between the two lovers as Beca sang the last part of the chorus.
"I came to life when I first kissed you
the bet me has her arms around you
You make me better than I was before
Thank god I'm Yours
The worst me is just a long gone memory
You put a new heartbeat inside of me
You make me better than I was before
Thank god I'm Yours
Thank god I'm Yours
Thank god I'm Yours
Thank god I'm Yours"
"You make me better Chloe and I love you. thank you for being mine and thank god I'm yours." Beca finished putting her guitar down.
She didn't even have time to react before Chloe was wiping away her tears, pulling Beca into bed with her, kissing the brunette passionately.
"No one has never wrote me a song before and there has never been a more beautiful song to receive than that one. I love you so much Beca, thank you for putting yourself out there with me. I don't know how I got so lucky but I truly do thank god everyday that I'm Yours." Chloe kissed Beca again. Clothes were shed, sweet nothings were said and love was being made.
