Beca's hands were dragging up Chloe's hips till they disappeared under the material of the shirt. She was kissing Chloe's neck and the red head was trying not to lose herself in the sensations that were radiating through her body.

"Becs, you're supposed to be taking me on a date. This usually happens at the end of the night when we've built up all the sexual frustrations."

"I'm skipping to the end of the date then because I'm already bottled up." Chloe giggled and pulled her up to kiss her gently.

"Come on, date first and then I promise I'm all yours." Beca groaned and stood up pulling the red head off the bed.

They walked the quiet streets together holding hands until they reached the outside of the restaurant. It was fairly busy but they managed to get a table by the window. This was Beca's favourite spot to eat, the food was great and it wasn't a budget breaker.

"I haven't been here in ages," Chloe looked around at all the people chattering and eating.

"It's the best, the burgers are amazing."

"You're amazing," Chloe smiled and her eyes glittered at the brunette. She decided to play a game and slipped her foot out of her shoe, slowly wrapping it around Beca's ankle and dragged it up and down. Beca's eyes widened and she suddenly stiffened, quickly looking around before returning to the menu. Chloe was confused so she tried grabbing the tapping hand on the table.

"Hey, you okay?" she asked softly.

"Yeah of course," the brunette pulled her hand away to quickly cough into it. Chloe sat back completely lost. What was she up to?

"Hi ladies, can I take your order?" A tall waitress appeared beside them and she was looking at the red head who had taken to staring at the woman across from her in deep thought.

"Um," Beca cleared her throat, "I'll get the burger with fries and a coke please. Chlo?" She looked across at the burning eyes. "Chloe?"

"I'll have the same but with lemonade." She didn't take her eyes off Beca.

"Okay, I'll be back with your meals." The waitress took the menu's and walked away looking back at the two.

The food arrived reasonably fast considering how busy it was which thankfully left little time for awkward conversations which was growing tension like weeds at their table. They finished their meals and Beca paid, getting up to leave. She twitched her hand and removed it from Chloe's to open the door for her. They walked down the street a bit in silence and Beca knew she needed to break it.

"It was pretty busy there tonight, I thought we'd" Chloe's fierce lips meeting hers cut her off. Two guys whistled and Beca broke it apart fumbling nervous words out and trying not to fidget her hands. That was all it took for Chloe to crack.

"What the hell is going on Beca?" she ripped into her but not loud enough to pull attention to them.

"What, what do you mean?" the brunette was clearly beyond nervous.

"I couldn't get you off me two hours ago and ever since we got to the restaurant you haven't even touched me or looked at me. What is it? Do you not want to take me out in public or do you not want anyone to know we are together?"

Beca was standing as still as a statue till her right hand began twitching.

"Fine, don't talk to me." Chloe started walking away expecting Beca to run after her but she heard nothing. As she turned the corner she looked back slightly to see she hadn't moved. She was worried she might have pushed her too far but what was with her? Was she ashamed of her? Didn't want anyone else to know about them? Thoughts rushed through her head till she got home and went straight to her bed to curl up and listen to music. That always calmed her down.

About an hour later she felt the bed move slightly, she turned the music off and pulled out her headphones. An arm slipped around her waist and a familiar body shuffled close to her.

"Now I'm good enough to touch?"

"Chlo, I'm sorry." The red head went to turn around but the arm held her still.

"I'm not good with PDA okay, I'm awkward enough around people as it is. I know its different for you because you're so confident but its hard for me. I have this weird thing with people knowing my business. Growing up in an area where everyone knew my parents didn't exactly help when my parents divorced and my dad moved on so fast with Sheila. Every single person I knew was talking about it and I felt their eyes on me all the time judging my family, what was left of it anyway." She stopped and took a deep breath, shaking softly and Chloe felt tears on the back of her neck where Beca had shuffled closer. "I could never be ashamed of you. I'm the luckiest person because I have the most beautiful girlfriend and I'm too chicken shit to show you off how you deserve. I don't like people staring at me and talking about me because it just reminds me of that time in my life. I'm so sorry," she was trying to hold back the tears but choked on her words, "I love you."

Chloe felt like crap, she should have known Beca wouldn't be alright with displaying her emotions in public. She was never open with Jessie, they were always behind closed doors. In fact se remembered seeing them in the quad and Beca would never sit close to him or hold his hand. She managed to turn around and pull Beca to her chest as she kissed the top of her head and rubbed her back.

"I'm sorry Beca, I should have known you wouldn't be comfortable with that. I guess I'm just so happy to finally be with you that I want everyone to know how happy you make me. How in love I am with you."

"I'm sorry," she managed to say and Chloe hushed her, holding her close until they both fell asleep.
