Chapter 4: Method Acting
Beca lay cuddled up in Chloe's arms, her breath still returning to normal. She closed her eyes, reveling in the feeling for the moment. She loved being curled up with Chloe. Feeling that intimacy wrapping them together like they were one.
Once she had fully recovered she looked up and saw Chloe was beginning to drift off, her face completely relaxed. She sighed.
"Chloe?"
"Yeah Becs?"
"Um. I have to talk to you about something. The director wanted to talk to me about something specific."
"Okay?" Chloe blinked her eyes open.
"He thinks that there's some... problems with our scenes." Chloe raised her eyebrow. Beca sighed as she continued. "He thinks that we don't have enough tension. He thinks... our characters have like these massive crushes on each other, they're both confused and don't know what the other thinks about them. And then here we are going home with each other at the end of day."
"Okay... what does he think she should do?"
"He thinks we shouldn't sleep together."
"Oh." She thought about what Beca said, then giggled trying to picture Beca having this conversation with their director. "You talked about our sex life with Jason?"
"Oh my god babe it was like the most awkward conversation ever." Chloe laughed as Beca turned beet red.
Beca was the most confident person when it came to sex with Chloe. Chloe thought it was extremely hot, Beca's confidence was a huge turn on. But, strictly it happened in the bedroom behind closed doors. Or... y'know, on the kitchen counter. Or in the hot tub they had in the back yard. Oh, and the times in the car and the hallway... Whatever, the point was Chloe loved that it was a side of Beca that only she got to see. Beca turned into a stuttering, sweating, pre-pubescent teen when the topic of sex was brought into a conversation with anyone else. She had become better at fielding all the questions through the years they lived at the Bellas house back in collage, which was useful since she had to deal with a lot of people wanting to know about her sex life as an actor. But she still avoided the topic if she could.
"I don't know Becs. It's... wow." She trailed off as she took a bit to think. She felt Beca pressing a kiss to her shoulder as she turned it over in her mind. "I think... he might be right. I hate to admit it but..." They had a very healthy sex life together, and it probably was inhibiting a lot of heat from being generated between their characters. "So... what, we don't have sex until filming is over?"
"Yeah, or until the scene our characters finally get together."
"Alright." They sat in silence for a moment. "What do you think?"
"I'll miss it. I'll miss you."
"Mmmm... me too."
"I think that's the point though. To miss each other so that we can portray the tension on screen. It will be hard." Beca ran her hand over Chloe's abdomen, watching as the goosebumps appeared and Chloe shivered.
"So, the director told you not to sleep with me and you raced home to do just that?"
"One for the road?" Beca replied sheepishly.
"You're cute."
A/N: THE SEXUAL TENSION IS COMING! Oh shit.
