It was just a little past 4 o'clock at night when Chloe heard the front door. She listened to the muted rumbling that was coming from the hall and figured it was Beca. At first Chloe felt relieved, knowing that she had returned home safely, yet also pissed off. Beca could have at least answered her calls. Then Chloe would have known she hadn't been abducted by some creepy old guy who likes to visit the parks and feed pigeons in his free time. Chloe furrowed her eyebrows on those thoughts; it was probably the lack of sleep. She sat up, repeating in her mind the words she was going to use for her lecture.
"Oh- Chlo... W-what are you doing up so late?" Was Beca's reaction, her eyes narrowing when Chloe put on the light that shone brightly into her face.
Chloe was sitting on the couch in the living room of the Bella's clubhouse. Subconsciously she pursed her lips, having the urge to behave strict. The way Beca was moving like that, Chloe reckoned she had been drinking.
"You jerk! Where have you been? I've been worried sickly!" She snapped, her voice sounding rougher than she intended.
"Sheesh Chlo calm down, I was just having some drinks with the guys I met at the pub." Beca replied, her voice sounding lazy from the booze.
"Was Jesse with you?" Chloe asked her.
"No... No he was... uhm... I think I broke up with him." Beca murmured, her eyes staring into nothingness. She looked troubled with still the evidence of running mascara on her cheeks, her eyes red from crying.
Chloe found herself without words for a moment. Inside she felt somewhat happy, but she wouldn't allow herself to think like that.
Now I have a chance with Beca- No... Don't think like that Chloe. What is wrong with you? This is not about you. Come on she needs you.
"Becs... I'm so sorry..." Chloe motioned Beca to come and sit next to her and wrapped her arm around the brunette.
"It's fine... It wouldn't have worked anyways..." Beca said, now leaning with her head against Chloe's, who was rubbing her back. "I feel confused Chlo... I mean... sexual confused."
"What do you mean? Do you think you might be into girls?" Chloe was able to keep her voice calm even though she clenched her jaw afterwards, having the thought of that German co- leader of DSM.
"I... I don't know... I might. I mean that German lady wasn't bad looking..." Beca said, putting more fuel on Chloe's hate fire. "Also... I sometimes can't help myself but looking at your ass..."
Chloe nodded mechanically not yet realising Beca mentioned her. "Uhuh... Wait- WHAT?"
"I know... I am terrible. You're just very pretty okay? I mean... I love your red hair... and those blue eyes... and those lips... I just want to taste them..." Beca murmured, now rising up so she could look the ginger in her eyes.
Chloe had frozen. Her mouth gaped open and her eyes bulged. It almost sounded like Beca had taken a particular interest in the ginger which was totally encouraging.
She is drunk... She doesn't mean it...
But damn it was tempting. They were mere inches apart from each other and Beca was unpredictable at this moment. Chloe closed her eyes the moment she felt the touch of Beca's palm against her flustered cheek. "Beca what are you doing?" Chloe whispered, afraid to make eye contact.
"Just shut up and kiss me..." Beca whispered back, her voice almost sounding like a plead.
"Beca..." Chloe said, her voice sounding unsure. How tempting it was, Beca was drunk. She wasn't thinking clearly. Chloe's weak protest didn't do much though. She jerked up feeling the touch of Beca's lips on her. It was such a sweet sensation, soft, warm. For a moment Chloe started kissing back. Fuck... she was so weak to give in. She had wished for this to happen for such a long time. But their first kiss couldn't be like this. She pushed Beca back, gazing into her eyes.
"Beca... We can't... Not like this." Chloe said, flustered. It hurt Chloe to see Beca's eyes turn glassy. But it was also to protect her.
"Please... Chlo... Just kiss me... Please..." Beca leaned in, trying to kiss the ginger again but without luck. She didn't know what the hell she was doing. All she knew was her feelings for Chloe were real. She wanted to feel something again. A sweet touch, a simple kiss. Though Chloe averted her gaze, her heart breaking piece by piece hearing Beca's sobs.
"Chlo... I-I love you..." Beca cried out, now burying herself into Chloe's chest letting out the emotions she had been able to keep hid untill now.
Chloe held her heartbroken friend. She felt her shake within her embrace, her shoulders shocking every time a sob was let out. Chloe had never seen Beca this upset... She pulled her close, giving light kisses on her head. "I'm here Becs..." She whispered hoping it would sooth Beca's crying. They kept like this for a while. Chloe never let go of the her.
They were found the next morning lying spooning on the couch by the Bella's who softly let out an 'Awe' simultaneously, waking both up. Chloe yawned, stretching her legs as far as possible. Her arms were around Beca's waist. Her breathing stopped for a moment when the dj seemed to be waking up, making her heart jump one beat. "Good morning..." Beca murmured when she looked over her shoulder. "Good morning" Chloe replied, giving the brunette a weak smile. "It's uhm... Well it's probably not what it looks like..." Beca looked at the Bella's who were widely smiling at them. "Lesbihonest..." Fat Amy replied, furrowing her eyebrows and placed both hands on her waist. Eventually everyone had to laugh, when Beca and Chloe exchanged looks, both looking seductively at each other.
