Rumors

by omACAgee

Jealousy, booze, romance and sex are basically what sums up high school but rumors? Yeah, those are inevitable no matter where you go. When Beca and Stacie move to Atlanta for their senior year, will they be able to escape the words spreading around the school by their peers or, have to give into the rumors just to survive the Hell hole?

Rumors- Chapter 19: Dancing Queens

It wasn't that Stacie was looking to be best friends with Gwen. Learn her deepest, darkest secrets and paint each other's toenails while casually watching chick flicks and talking about boys on the weekends-which in Stacie's case, boys and girls. She honestly just wanted to make amends with her. Gwen-other than being a homophobic, conceited bitch, never really done anything to make Stacie genuinely dislike her. That's why, she invited her out to get to know her a little bit better because there might be a reason for her moody ego and stuck up personality. And maybe, just maybe, Stacie would be able to use her loveable charm to turn the girl who is the world's most hated, into the world's most loved.

After school, Beca took Stacie home, along with Chloe after quickly, exchanging numbers with Gwen so they could pick out a time to meet and for the girl's address. Once they were settled at the house, without so much as a flinch, Stacie bolted up to her room so she could plan on something to wear for tonight.

The first piece of clothing she picked out was a simple black, cocktail dress with a matching pair of wedges. Trying it on and studying her look in her full body mirror, she soon crossed the outfit off the list because she claimed it was too fancy. Gwen and her were going to a pizza parlor not a five star restaurant.

The second outfit consisted of a cute pair of jean shorts, some high top converse and a black tank top with a red flannel tied at the hips. This as well, wasn't cutting it for Stacie when she soon remembered that it was in fact almost October, and definitely not summer weather-which would make this look one hundred percent acceptable. Tonight's weather revolved around more of a sweatpants, parka type of wear.

"You look like you're about to go out to a rock concert." A flash of brown hair and a curious voice snuck up behind Stacie, startling the taller girl unannounced. Hearing this, Stacie clenched her heart when she realized who it was. "It looks like a tornado just flew through your closet Stace. What are you doing?" Walking in the room and over to the bed, Beca plopped down stomach first, but not before grabbing a pillow to rest under her chin.

Regaining her composure after her mini heart attack, Stacie untied the flannel around her hips with a groan and threw it on the floor, along with all the other rejected outfits. "I need to find something to wear." Though she didn't know why. She was just having dinner with Gwen, not the president and also, it wasn't even a date or anything so why was she putting so much thought into how she looked.

"Hot date?" Beca asked curiously, mildly interested that there was a slight possibility that Stacie is into someone. "You do know they have to go through me and be approved before they try to start anything right? Except if this date is Manny. He is an automatic no."

Stacie chuckled as she started putting her clothes back in place in her closet where they belonged. She honestly forgot all about Manny. He was good for a while, really good, but just like ordering the same meal constantly at the same fast food place, you need to try something new. Manny was old news.

In the matter of ten minutes, Stacie already went through a whole week's worth of outfits. "It's definitely not Manny Becs." Stacie clarified and saw the immediate relief wash over the brunettes face. "Also, it's not a date."

These seemed to perk some interest in Beca. "Then what is it? You're never this hesitant about a piece of clothing unless you're going out with a lucky lady or fella." Beca shrugged her shoulders, watching Stacie roll her eyes and continue scavenging through her closet.

"I just want to look good." Stacie said, totally ignoring the look of confusion on Beca's face. It's not like what she said was a lie. She honestly did want to look good but also, she wanted to make a quite big impression on Gwen.

Wait…...what the fuck?

She knew nothing she was saying was actually budging with Beca by the similar look on the smaller girl's face which looked almost identical to her father's when he caught them lying. "Okay Stacie. Spill."

Damn Beca for reading Stacie so well. Why did they have to be best friends? "Okay fine…." Stacie started, freezing her movements in her closet and dropping her hands but not turning to face the brunette on her bed. There was a few seconds of silence so Stacie could hopefully think of something to lie about so she wouldn't have to tell Beca the truth. Of course, nothing came to mind.

"I'm meeting Gwen for pizza tonight." Stacie said under her voice, kinda like she was embarrassed about admitting it to her friend;not that she was or anything. She just didn't know how Beca would react about her going out with the queen bitch of Barden High School.

The howl of a laugh that erupted from a tiny soul like Beca Mitchell was something she definitely wasn't expecting either. "You're joking?!" Beca wheezed out in between laughs. Stacie's back was still turned towards Beca but even not facing the girl, she could feel the power of her cackles like there were booming straight into her face. Catching no response from Stacie, Beca muted her laughs. "You are joking….right?"

"No I'm not." Finally, Stacie twisted her body so she was now looking at Beca who was sitting straight up with her back against the headboard. "In about-" Stacie reached for her cell phone and read the time on her screen. "-an hour, I'll be on my way to pick her up so we can eat dinner. Now if you wouldn't mind, can you please help me choose an outfit instead of messing up my bed with your tiny frame? You're like the tasmanian devil."

Before Beca could reply, an added body was mixed into the conversation "Did I hear the mention of picking an outfit?" Chloe appeared soon after and joined Beca on the bed. "Whose is the lucky one tonight Stacie?"

"Gwen Stacy." Beca answered for her which received an immediate gasp from her girlfriend. "I know. I basically did the same thing when she told me."

"I thought you guys didn't like her? Something about her calling you two the queens of dykes or the new gay chlamydia of Barden."

"Actually it was genital herpes or, gerpes, as she said. Unclever I know." Beca snickered and was followed by Chloe who repositioned herself so her head was laying on the brunette's shoulder and tangled their hands together.

"Irrelevant guys!" Stacie cut in annoyed, wanting to stop this conversation completely. "Please just help me."

"Okay Okay." The couple both raised their hands up to surrender. Before getting up to help the taller girl, Chloe placed a quick kiss on Beca's lips. She walked over to Stacie's closet, studying the choices she had like picking toppings for ice cream.

"Let me work my magic."

---

Right on the dot of six, Chloe managed to pick out the perfect outfit for Stacie that kept the girl warm and also, made her look good. She decided on a long sleeve, maroon blouse with a pair of black leggings and matching black uggs. Chloe also decided to do Stacie's hair even after multiple reminders that it wasn't a date she was going on and just a casual "hang out"- which really, involved her to get dressed super cute.

Whatever. Chloe knew what it was but wanted to avoid Stacie's wrath. She was trying to avoid seeing Stacie use her long legs for something that would be far from loving and more around the word of violent.

Checking her length in the mirror, Stacie released a satisfied sigh. Leave it to Chloe Beale to pull off the perfect choice of wear for tonight. Who knew the redhead could pull something off better than the infamous Stacie Conrad.

"Not to brag or anything-" Chloe appeared in the reflection on the mirror behind Stacie, making her switch her focus. "-but I did aca-awesome."

With a smile and ruffling out the wrinkles on her sleeves, Stacie agreed completely. "Thanks Chloe. You're a lot better help than this one over here." Stacie gestured her head over to Beca who had a full bag of Doritos in her lap and was switching through the TV channels. Unfazed by the comment, Beca retracted her hand from inside the bag and of course, flipped off the taller girl.

"What time is your date?" Chloe asked, jumping onto the bed with Beca and replacing the bag of chips with her head. There was small whine that squeaked out of Beca's lips when she no longer had food in her lap but was once again content when Chloe placed a tender kiss on her girlfriends cheesy, covered lips.

Catching this encounter from her friends, Stacie rolled her eyes and searched around the room for her phone and purse. "Okay two things. One, you guys are so cute it's fucking nauseating and two-" Finding her phone in the mountain of clothes on the floor, Stacie directed her attention back on the couple. "-like I said before, it's not a date Red." There's some sharpness in Stacie's tone that couldn't be stopped. It wasn't that she was upset with Chloe because really, who could? It was more of the fact her and Beca both kept announcing that what her and Gwen were about to go on was a date. If anything, she invited the girl because she felt sorry that she was alone and crying by herself in a geography classroom.

The only class students should cry in is math so obviously, it was something serious that was bugging the girl.

"I know I know, but don't you think this could possibly be the start of something new? Maybe Gwen could get your mind off of Aubrey so you couldn't don't know, move on."

Those words just hurt. The thought of losing those feelings she has towards Aubrey was something she couldn't see herself doing and if she were, it wouldn't be for a while. "Yeah no. I wish it was that easy but…" Stacie sighed, long and rough. "Feelings just don't go away. Plus, even if I was into Gwen….which I'm not." The look of hope and beaming smile that was threatening to burst through the redhead quickly vanished with Stacie's reassurance. "It wouldn't even matter because she isn't gay. In fact, I'm sure she hates all gays which is why I'm surprised she said yes to me in the first place."

"Never say never Stace." Beca chimed in, brushing her hand through Chloe's red locks and smiling every time her fingernails hit that certain spot on her skull that made her shiver. "I'm sure if you wanted to play your cards right and use your Conrad charm, you could turn any straight girl. Just play hello titty with Gwen and you'd have her in the palms of your hands in a heartbeat."

There was a long pause of silence as Stacie stared at Beca and Chloe. Using her goodies for weapons was always a go-to when bagging a date but again, this wasn't a date and she had no interest in making it one. "You guys are ridiculous." She said, dead panned and everything "I'm leaving."

As Stacie walked out of her room and down the stairs, she remembered that she needed to borrow Beca's jeep. Even at the age of seventeen, almost eighteen and with a useless license in her wallet, she still didn't own a car. Hopefully before she hits college, she will at least own one and at the very least, a bike.

"Beca!" Stacie called up from the bottom of the stairs and up to her room. "Can I borrow your jeep?!"

There was muffled words that were heard from Stacie's room but being so far away, Stacie couldn't make them out. "What was that?"

"I said that's fine! Just...make sure to put gas in it because it's almost empty. There's enough to probably get you there!" Beca yelled from upstairs.

Sweet. Stacie grabbed Beca's keys off the kitchen counter and began to walk outside to the car. Once she got there, she opened her conversation with Gwen and her and typed in the girl's address in her GPS. Turning on the jeep, Beca was right when she said she was literally almost out of gas. Stacie thought for a moment of possibly getting gas before she picked up Gwen but realized it was almost six, the time Stacie said she'd be there to pick her up. She guessed that the gas was just going to have to wait until after dinner.

---

The drive to Gwen's house was nothing out of the ordinary other than the fact she hit every single red light on the way. Also, there was crazy traffic because of course, Gwen lived right next to a middle school who coincidentally had a huge school play the one night Stacie was running late for this "friendly hangout." With a minute left, Stacie made it just in time for pick up.

First of all, the house was gigantic. Probably one of the biggest houses she has ever laid eyes on. The grass was insanely green, basically almost to the point where it looked fake. For Christ's sake, there was one of those fancy water fountains in the front yard, along with a gate Stacie had to drive through and give a password. She has only seen someone do that in movies-which usually ended up with some CSI shoot down with the president or whatever. All action movies seem the same.

There is nothing wrong with the house her, Beca and Warren live in but if she were to compare the two, her's would look like a trailer park next to Gwen's. It put Stacie in awe and how breathtaking the house really was.

Part of her was starting to think that Gwen was actually some sort of secret agent, working for the FBI or something. At least her parents because….god damn.

Stacie got out of the jeep and walked over to the front door. Knocking, Stacie stepped back and waited for someone to answer.

The sounds of footsteps hurried to the door and soon, Stacie was slapped in the face by Gwen and her presence.

"Hey!" Gwen said with a beaming smile, grabbing her purse off the railing by her door and stepping outside. "Just on time." After looking at the time on her phone she stuck it back into her purse. "You look great by the way and I don't know if I told you, probably not since we never really talked before this but, your black hair suits you well."

Stacie could process that Gwen was taking but as far as any audible words, she could hear nothing. It was like Gwen's outfit and makeup and hair knock the wind out of Stacie and during the process, caused her to go deaf in both ears, making it damn near impossible to respond a collectible response. She was wearing a pair of white skinny jeans and brown belt with a pair of tan wedges so she was now the same height as Stacie. As for a top, she was wearing a bleach denim shirt and one of those adorable winter beanies that always look to big for a girl's head but in Gwen's case, looked perfect.

She looked perfect.

"Oh wow." Stacie said without even realizing it. Her mouth was slightly gaped and she knew for a fact that she was staring. Who knew Gwen was so…

attractive.

"Uhhhh-" Gwen chuckled sweetly and Stacie could see a hint of red rise from her cheeks. "Thank you." The finger that was tugging at Gwen's belt loops brushed the perfectly, loose curled blonde hair behind her ear and tucked her chin into her chest shyly.

This was a completely different personality that Stacie wasn't use to. She was definitely use to the more bitchy persona and "I'm better than everybody else" attitude, not this timid and sweet one. To be honest, it was kinda freaking Stacie out.

But in a good way.

A really good way.

Stacie was sure she'd been staring for at least, five minutes and planned on staring for more until, she was able to snap herself out of her admiration to nod her head in the direction of the jeep. "Shall we get going? I don't know about you but the pizza is calling my name."

With a smile, one that for some odd reason Stacie found ridiculously adorable all of a sudden, Gwen nodded her head, faintly, and walked behind Stacie to her jeep.

At the pizza parlor, Stacie wasn't too surprised to see that it was a busy night. Even for a Wednesday since it took almost near an hour to get their pizza.

"No fucking way!" Stacie said disbelieving, holding Gwen's phone up to her eyes, closer, so she could fully study the picture. It was one of the blonde in middle school, wearing a fluorescent orange skirt, along with some hot pink tank top you'd find in the children's section of Walmart. "I can't believe that the one and only Gwen Stacy was practically a fashion crisis. It's almost too hard to believe."

Gwen was giggling but Stacie could see the embarrassment rising up through her core. "Oh hush." Taking the phone back and placing it back into her pockets, Gwen grabbed a piece of pizza and took a snag. "You're one of very few I've shown that picture so please keep it down."

"Well at least you look pretty hot now."

And Stacie doesn't know where the compliment came from especially since it was directed towards Gwen Stacy who, about a week ago, hated her guts for running against her on homecoming court, but what she did know was that what she just said was completely and shockingly true.

Whether it was the perfectly shined blonde hair that hung from underneath the beanie; or the way she would get pizza sauce in the corner of her mouth and do that adorable giggle while she tried to lick it off. And of course, the blonde wouldn't even come close to how perfect Aubrey's was and Gwen's giggle compared to Aubrey's had absolutely no chance of beating it out in cuteness but honestly, Stacie thought it was nice to think someone else was cute for a change instead of Aubrey who once, gave Stacie a chance that she already fucked up and two, is dating Mr. Big bad teen wolf and according to everyone walking the halls of Barden, "is utterly in love."

Another blush could be seen at Stacie's distance and it was making it really hard for her not to think anymore than she already was of how fucking cute Gwen truly is.

"I want to ask you something." Gwen responded, playing with an olive from her salad with her fork.

There was a change in tone Stacie caught. Nodding her head, "Shoot."

"I know I probably have no right of asking you this question, regarding how I treated you and Beca and the things I've said but…..what is it like to be with…-" She swallowed a large knot in her throat and continued to play with her food. "-a girl?"

All Stacie's mouth could do was gape as a response. Did Gwen really just ask that? Stacie was pretty positive that she was Ms. Anti-gay.

"Uhh….what was that?" Stacie finally managed to muster out, mouth still hanging open and eyes stretched wide.

Gwen chuckled to herself, hiding her face in both of her hands. "Oh god. Don't make me say it again."

"I'm almost certain that you asked how it was to be with a girl.."

Lifting her head from her hands, Gwen nodded her face-which was two shades redder than before. "It was." She dragged out slowly. "I just….I-I don't know. Curious maybe." She shrugged casually. "I do recall you saying that I haven't had a proper orgasm and being with a girl would do that for me." The wink that came with was strong, punching Stacie right in the gut and she felt her breathing hitch.

Regaining her composure, Stacie dropped the drink she had in her hand and rested back into her chair while crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, for your information, being with a girl is pretty damn amazing." A smug smirk tugged at the corners of Stacie's mouth and she knew she was playing dirty.

"I highly doubt that." Gwen retorted, positioning herself the exact same way. "Guys are way too sexy."

Stacie bit her tongue to hold back a laugh;or a gag. Both she knew were true and on the verge of slipping. "Girls can be sexy too."

Gwen smirked challenging, the tip of her tongue snatched between her teeth. "Oh yeah?" Green eyes traveled down the taller girl's torso and back up to meet Stacie's.

"Oh definitely." It was more of a kittenish pur that came out of Stacie's mouth. The sudden courage and confidence swam its way through the veins of Stacie's body, causing her to lean forward on her arms with a squint in her eyes. Doing this could be seen in Gwen's body language that she was enjoying this shift in atmosphere, almost hungry for Stacie in a way. "For example-" Stacie decided to return the gesture with her eyes, scanning the blonde's body across the table from her. She made sure to take her time examining Gwen's body, just making sure the girl knew what she was about to say is the truth. "-you're pretty damn sexy." And it was absurd coming out of Stacie's mouth knowing just yesterday she didn't give two shits about this girl but also, it was true. Yes, Aubrey's hotness was bumped a level higher than Gwen's just because of what they had, but there was no doubt that Stacie wasn't attracted to her.

As weird as that sounds.

What the hell is happening?

"Yeah?" Gwen said with just as much flirt in her voice. She started leaning in, just enough so Stacie could see the darker shades of green in Gwen's eyes and the faint freckles around her nose. Stacie nodded in response and swore she saw Gwen's eyes flick down to her lips and back up.

Nothing was said at first as they continued to stare at each other across the table, like they were about to pounce any second. The thing that split them apart was the waiter returning back to the table, checking to see if they needed anything or were ready for the check.

Breaking the intense gaze, Gwen smiled up at the waiter who looked just as awkward as he probably felt. "We are ready for the check. Don't split them either. My date has this one covered."

Again, did Stacie hear her right? Did Gwen really just refer to her as her date? She really didn't know if she felt more frazzled about what Gwen just said or the fact that she has to pay for not only herself, but her…..date. Thank god she had some extra money from her summer job.

Whatever it was, Stacie oddly enough, didn't care and honestly, it kinda made her feel good inside. Like butterflies swarming around or what not.

"I'll meet you at your car." With one last wink, Gwen packed up her stuff and left the table to walk outside while Stacie watched her go.

Again, what is happening?

---

"I had a really good night." Stacie parked the jeep out front of Gwen's house and turned it off so she could look at the girl.

The car ride back fell into light conversation about school and future plans. Even after all that obvious sexual tension at dinner. Surprisingly though, Gwen had everything planned out. Graduation would come and since she has been applying to colleges since the beginning of her freshman year, she has been accepted into University of North Carolina to get her medical degree.

Go Tar Heels or whatever.

"Same here. I'm glad we had the chance to get to know each other a little bit more."Gwen said, grinning at the taller girl. "Maybe we can do it again sometime?"

"I mean, it was only date number one." Stacie teased, winking slowly.

"You have something else in mind?" Gwen said, as if she could read Stacie's mind.

The entire night, Stacie was battling her thoughts in her head whether or not to ask Gwen to homecoming. And even with the obvious flirting at dinner, she was still low-key nervous that She'd get turned down because Gwen was straight. Well she thinks, that is. Also, rejection was not something in her daily handbook. It hurt enough with Beca; not physically, but mentally because it was extremely embarrassing. She doesn't think she could handle that sort of pain again if Gwen were to say no to homecoming.

"Actually yeah…. There is." But why the fuck not. A wave of courage washed over Stacie. "I know you recently just broke up with your boyfriend and it might be too fast or like...whatever but I was wondering if you'd want to be my date for homecoming? It could totally be like a friend thing because I'm not really looking for a relationship but...fuck. Scratch that. I didn't mean that I want to date you because obviously you're not gay and don't think that I'm trying to turn you into a homo or whatever cause I'm not and-"

Stacie's rambling was interrupted when Gwen started to giggle in the passenger seat. Stacie knitted her eyebrows together, watching the blonde laugh and not really knowing what was so funny at the moment.

"Chill Stacie." Gwen managed to say after her laughter fit. "I'd love to go to homecoming with you."

"R-really?" It was already weird that Stacie just went on a date with Gwen but now, they're about to go to homecoming together?

Nodding her head, Gwen gave a reassuring smile. "I'd also love to try this whole... girl thing out." Without hesitation, she unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned over on the arm rest. Her face was up close to Stacie's, so close that the taller girl could feel the blonde's hot breath on her lips and how she could smell the fruity shampoo radiating out of her hair or the fragrance she choose for the night. "Because truthfully, you are pretty damn sexy yourself."

This triggered something carnal in Stacie and before she knew it, her lips were attached to Gwen's, hungry, but also moving gentle.

Out of Aubrey, Beca and Gwen, each kiss was different. Aubrey, though she doesn't look like it, kissed as if she were born to do so. She was dominating and strong with her lips that physically brought Stacie to her knees. Beca on the other hand was stiff at first but soon, the kiss would become a muscle memory reminder to her and would soon be the one in charge. Gwen though, Gwen was sweet and smelled like designer perfume. Her lips weren't as strong as Aubrey's nor as controlling as Beca's but somewhere in between. And for the first time in a while, Stacie was able to melt into her minty tasting lip gloss and forget about Aubrey, Luke, Beca, school, everything, and just live in the moment.

There was no taking it slow with Stacie, especially when she got the response like she did from Gwen who was basically moaning into her mouth every time her teeth nipped at her lower lip. She swiped her tongue where her teeth previously were and almost immediately, she was granted access.

Hands moved to the back of Stacie's neck, gripping the skin roughly as her nails came in contact.

Stacie's hand settled on one side of Gwen's abdominal, in the divot just above her waist and the tips of her fingers could feel the stomach muscles tighten when her tongue twirled in just a certain way.

Wanting to continue this for a longer amount of time, Stacie knew she had to get back home and tell Beca. There was one last swipe if her tongue across Gwen's before she pulled away and was met with dark, lust filled eyes.

"Oh wow." Gwen gasped out, her voice heavy and she was still trying to catch her breath from the kiss. "You're so right about the girl thing. I've been missing out."

"I told you so." Confidently, Stacie smirked and not going to lie, a little out of breath as well. "Hate to cut this short but it's still a school night and these honor classes are taking over my social life." She said with a pout but was a straight lie. Homework wasn't needed to be done and for once actually, she had a free night to do whatever. She just needed to recoup with herself after these oddly satisfying hours spent with Gwen.

"To bad." Gwen's eyes flashed down to Stacie's lips and stayed there for a moment. "I'd love to try out more of this whole….girl on girl thing, just to make sure it fits." Then her eyes floated back up with a devilish tint underneath, making Stacie whimper at the sight.

Stacie didn't even get the chance to reply before Gwen was out of her jeep and leaning her head down in the opened window. It was almost like she transported. "I'll see you tomorrow." She said, biting her lip and walking away back to her house.

Stacie sat there in silence for a while, just watching Gwen until her presence was gone and behind the door. She hates to say it and couldn't lie if she wanted to but, Gwen and everything that happened tonight was perfect. It was definitely a much needed hangout because not once, did she think about Aubrey.

Snapping out of her daze, Stacie turned the keys in the ignition and started her route back home.

Before she even made it five minutes into the drive, the jeep started slowing down until it came to a full stop in the middle of the street.

"Fuck!" Stacie cursed, noticing that she totally spaced on getting gas just like Beca told her. She doesn't even know how she managed to drive for as long as she did without seeing the low gas light on the gauge. She blames the previous kiss she shared with Gwen for dazing her senses out.

Figuring that there wasn't a gas station near by, Stacie pulled out her phone to call the one person she was terrified of telling that was currently stuck on a deserted street with an empty tank of gas in her jeep.

Maybe Chloe would still be there to mellow out the tiny hulk of a girlfriend she has.

---

Aubrey was sitting at the table with her day the next morning, patiently waiting for Beca to swing by and pick her up so they could all go to school together. This actually became a frequent thing her, Chloe, and Stacie would do and even after everything that went down between their group, they have gotten extremely close over the past two months.

Even her and Stacie were able to mend their relationship back to normal. It was nowhere near what it was before the whole fake dating problem went down but she was great full to still even call Stacie a friend. Of course, she felt awful about lying to her when Stacie found out about Luke and there was a beeping in her head that scared Aubrey that their friendship would never be the same.

She could honestly see all of them as her best friends.

There on the counter, she felt a vibration from her phone, causing her to grab it knowing she just received a text message.

Luke [7:08 am]: Hey babe. Not going to school again today. Still under the weather but don't worry about me. It would suck to get you sick before homecoming.

She read on the screen. Over the past couple days and even some last week, Luke has been missing out on a lot of school. He said that it was the stomach flu but Aubrey doesn't have to be a doctor to know that a bug doesn't last for almost two weeks. Plus, it wouldn't come and go unless it was something serious-which Luke says it's not. And every time Aubrey would ask to bring him something or just stop by to see how he was doing, he would say that he didn't want to get her sick and said to not come over.

Luke may come off as sort of a douchebag who cares about nobody but himself and honestly, the first time they dated sophomore year, it took a lot of convincing to make Aubrey think otherwise but eventually, he proved himself to her. Though, this so called 'good side' of Luke didn't last for long when after two months, Chloe caught the boy behind the bleachers with an ex cheerleader's tongue down his throat and vice versa. Aubrey called it off immediately and didn't talk to the boy until two years later when he joined choir.

There are definitely days when Aubrey doesn't trust Luke because of what he has done in the past but he swears he changed from then and that, Aubrey believes. She just thinks this whole 'sick' situation is bizarre and doesn't want to look like a fool if she were to be wrong about Luke….once again.

"Who are you texting?" Aubrey's dad asked, lifting his eyes from the newspaper he was holding in his hands, just enough to where the blonde could see his eyes over his glasses.

Quickly, Aubrey texted back Luke saying she hopes he feels better and if he needs anything, to let her know. "Just Chloe." She lied, clicking her phone off and setting it back down on the table.

The thing about her dad was, he was extremely strict. With her friends, school, food, sleep, basically anything that involved Aubrey. And though she has never brought a boyfriend home to meet her father because the guy would probably not make it out alive, she knows for a fact Luke would probably leave the house with a restraining order, not allowing him to step within forty feet of Aubrey. Have you seen how the boy dresses and acts? No way in hell would Aubrey be allowed to date a bad boy like Luke.

She kept it a secret the first time and was destined to do it again.

Before her dad could respond, a knock was heard on the front door and a wave of relief washed over Aubrey's body. She didn't want to get interrogated by her father because whether she liked it or not, he could always tell when she was lying.

Grabbing her purse from the table and walking over to the door, she was surprised when it was Stacie standing on the other side. "Hey." She greeted with a smile and Stacie did the same.

She had one hand resting on the border of the door frame and her ankles crossed over each other as she stood. "Hey you." Smiling big, she swiped the glasses off her face and put them through her hair.

"Not that I don't love it but you're at my door because?" Aubrey questioned, lifting one of her eyebrows and tilting her head to the side.

"Well knowing the infamous Aubrey Posen, I didn't know how long it would take you to come out and once the vehicle stops and Chloe and Beca are within distance from each other, there's only a matter of seconds until they're sucking face." Stacie scrunched her face in disgust as Aubrey snuck a peek into Beca's jeep and being right, they were making out and we're making out like a bunch of horny teenagers. "Hard pass."

Aubrey scoffed with her eyes still engaged in the couple. "Gross."

Stacie's followed her line of sight and snickered when she was right. Her friends and their mouths were like magnets.

"Aubrey you leaving?" Aubrey's father came out of the kitchen and up to the girls standing at the door. When his eyes caught Stacie's, he offered her a small smile. "Hey Stacie. Long time no see."

"Hey Bill. How have you been?" Stacie greeted with a returned grin.

Aubrey knew that the night Stacie apologized, she had the chance to talk with her dad but really? First name basis with a Posen? Father Posen? Was the world ending? Not even Chloe calls her dad by his full name.

She watched the taller girl and her dad drift away into casual conversation about school and couldn't control the giddy feeling in her stomach as she watched the interaction. Her dad never got along with any of her friends (besides Chloe) but now, joking along and falling into easy conversation with Stacie was like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs.

Weird, but calming in a sense.

As much as she wanted to stay and chat, school sadly was soon and Aubrey would flip out if they were late so with no other choice, she decided to cut the conversation between her dad and Stacie short. "I'm sorry to break this reunion up but Stace, we have school to attend."

"Oh yeah I forgot about that." Stacie chuckled and her arm went to drape around Aubrey's shoulders, only staying there for a couple seconds and then back down to her side. Aubrey couldn't even lie and say she wasn't disappointed when the extra weight was gone and the smell of Stacie's intoxicating perfume she always wore was slowly starting to ease out into the air. "Yeah let's go...it was good seeing you Bill." She stretched her hand out for a handshake, only to be slapped away and her body tucked in for a gentle side hug.

Okay, a hug?! What weird voodoo magic did Stacie put on her father?!

"Likewise." Bill pulled away from Stacie. "You girls have a good day." And then he was back in the kitchen.

"Okaaayy-" Aubrey said suspiciously, shutting the door behind her and following Stacie outside. "Since when did you and my father become best friends? Are you meeting him for a beer later at the local bar or watching the football game Saturday while enjoying a plate of nachos?" She teased and watched Stacie pull the sunglasses from off her head and back down to her eyes.

"For your information, I turned down all of his request because being me, I'm a very busy girl and sometimes I don't have time for a beer or two." Stacie's sarcasm was probably one of the best and worst qualities she had. It could be so annoying when Aubrey would want a real answer but other times, most likely than not, it would be extremely sexy.

"I guess your dad can't resist my charm." Stacie said cocky, an extra sway to her hips. "Beca and Chloe I swear to god if I see any tongue I'm cutting them out!" She threatened when she was close enough to the vehicle.

Seeing the couple break apart immediately in the front seat, Aubrey giggled to herself, watching Stacie strut to the backseat and open the door for Aubrey. Thanking the taller girl, Aubrey took a seat in the back, greeting Beca and Chloe who had swollen lips and dark eyes and practically looked like they have been making out for the past twenty minutes. Stacie was next to get into Beca's jeep and once she as in, the group made their way to school.

---

Aubrey was walking alone down to her locker when she remembered that in physics, her teacher planned a random practical and needed to go over her notes to study before the class started. She picked up the folder from her locker, shutting the metal and was walking down the hallway to her first hour when she heard a group of student talking by the water fountain.

Being nosy, Aubrey stopped mid step at some random locker that was in hearing distance of the conversation, trying to not make it obvious that she was eavesdropping. She wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for the fact it was Stacie these group of kids were talking about.

"Yeah man I saw her and Gwen at the pizza parlor last night and they looked super dressed up and everything. I know for a fact it was a date." One of the kids said to the others that were huddled around the water fountain.

Aubrey scrunched her face confused when she heard the word "date" come out of this kid's mouth. Stacie never mentioned anything about going on a date let alone with Gwen Stacy, dictator of all bitches.

"Awh man, I really wanted her and Beca to get back together." Another guy frowned and Aubrey is pretty sure he was in her physics class but didn't know. Whatever. Irrelevant.

"Really?" The same guy who told his friend's about this so-called-date questioned. "I know it's a total step down from Beca because let's face it, she's pretty hot with her edgy look and dark make-up." And her repulsive ear monstrosities. Aubrey thought to herself after hearing this so called "hot" list. "But Gwen and Stacie would be so hot together. I didn't even know she was gay."

Neither did Aubrey but apparently Stacie is able to turn any straight girl because she did it to her. Hearing enough, Aubrey continued back to her class, knowing she had it with the taller girl so she could ask her about this "date".

She walked in and luckily, Stacie was sitting at the table and looking down at her note broke that was covered in highlighted notes.

"Hey." Aubrey said, sitting down right next to her and dropping her bag down to the floor.

Stacie was wearing her glasses Aubrey noticed when she perked her head up from the notebook and smiled brightly at the blonde. She doesn't know how and she doesn't know why but whenever Stacie wears her glasses, it does some mental damage to Aubrey and it makes it hard to focus on anything else.

"What's up Posen?" Stacie smiled at the blonde and closed her notebook. "I'm totally not ready for this test. Do you understand the-"

"Are you dating Gwen?" Aubrey interrupted and it was more of a word vomit type of motion. She really only wanted to talk about what she heard in the hallway, not the test that they were ten minutes away from taking to be honest.

Stacie gaped at this, her eyebrows almost shooting up past her hairline. "What? No! Where did you hear that?!"

"It's going around school that you two went on a date last night." Aubrey said casually, hiding the fact that talking about Stacie going on a date with another girl wasn't making her stomach do flips. And not in the good way.

Stacie scoffed, eyes rolling. "Of course. Rumors go around so fast at this school. No, to answer your question….. Well I mean yes because it was a date last night but really I didn't even know until we left." Stacie added quickly. "But no about the dating. I'm not looking for anything like that yet."

Aubrey seemed to relax when hearing this but her stomach still cramped with the mention of Stacie not being ready yet. What will Aubrey do when Stacie is ready to be in a relationship? She won't be able to let this ugly green monster show because it wouldn't be right of her. Yeah, she told Stacie that she wanted to fall back into being friends and she was now in a complicated relationship with Luke but truth is, the feelings she had towards Stacie never went away. They were covered but appeared right back up at the mention of Stacie possibly dating someone who wasn't her. She isn't a selfish person, not one bit but for Stacie, she doesn't want anybody else with the girl except herself.

"I am though bringing her as a date to homecoming. Now we can triple!" Stacie perked up a cheery smile and reopened her notebook back up, missing the way Aubrey's face visibly fell.

Aubrey sported her best fake smile, gritting her teeth under closed lips. Fists clenching so tight under the wooden tables that they could draw blood.

Great.

Today was homecoming, the day everyone was waiting for. The morning for Beca and Stacie revolved around errands such as, hair and makeup, renting a limo for their group that consisted of Beca, Chloe, Stacie, Gwen, Aubrey, Luke, Jesse and another girl from a different high school, Emily and Benij.

Now, as they were finishing up any last touches to their hair and getting dressed, they had roughly and hour until the limo would pick them up.

Beca was finishing her outfit and making sure she looked perfect in her mirror because the last thing she needed was to have a bat in the cave or an Alfalfa hair sticking up during pictures. She decided that tonight she would stay clear of a dress and more towards a pantsuit type of look. Stacie helped her choose an all black suit with a very, very low v-cut in the front, so low to the point where she had to tape the dress down to her chest so she would flash anyone tonight while she was mixing. And no matter how bad she wanted to wear a bra, she couldn't without it showing through the suit.

"Beca!" She heard coming from Stacie's room. Checking herself one last time, fixing her loose curls and grabbing her hand purse she got as well with the suit, she met Stacie in her room.

"How do my goodies look?" Stacie asked in the mirror, pointing to her very exposed chest that were underneath a beautiful red dress that looked like leaves from the torso up and a large, silky red that cut of at the knees in the front and in the back, ran to the floor. As for shoes, she settled on a pair of pale red heels and overall, Stacie looked amazing.

Turning around and dropping her mascara, Stacie's mouth shot open when she took in Beca's appearance. "Whoa Becs!" Stacie gushed without even hearing a response from Beca about her boobs. "You look hot!"

"Thank you." Beca said, looking down at her suit. She didn't want to sound cocky or anything but, she couldn't lie and not agree with her friend with how good she looked. "You do too. Especially the goodies, for your information."

"I think so too." Stacie's hands purposely pushed under her chest, sending the boobs almost straight out of the dress. "hey-" Stacie walked out of the bathroom and over to her perfume collection so she could decided on tonight's scent. "Help me pick the right smell!"

Meanwhile….

"Bree!" Chloe whined, trying to fix the side zipper on her dress. Somehow in the the process of changing it got stuck. "Help me get this zipper!"

Aubrey walked out of the bathroom and over to where Chloe was struggling. In a swift easy motion, she got the zipper up and could hear the sigh of relief wash out of the redhead.

"Thank you." Chloe said, straightening out any wrinkles on the slim, dark red dress she went with for tonight.

As for Aubrey, she changed it up and with with a short, tight, long sleeve black dress where at the shoulders, were gems that went to the front by her collar bone.

"You're freaking out Chlo. What has you going all spazzy?" Aubrey asked when she noticed Chloe was is one of her flustered moods.

"I just want tonight to be perfect. I'm also nervous for Beca and her whole performance. I don't know. This Homecoming just feels so different from any of the other ones." Chloe admitted, joining Aubrey on her bed.

Plopping down with a huff, Chloe rested her head on one of Aubrey's shoulders. "It will be Chlo. Stacie and Beca managed to set everything up for us, you look absolutely breathtaking that I'm pretty sure you'll put Beca into cardiac arrest." Chloe giggled, blushing at the compliment. "Everything will be just fine. Have fun and let loose. Do you need some giggle juice to loosen up?"

"Don't worry." Chloe said, walking over to a brown paper bag and pulling out a fancy bottle of ciroc with two shot glasses. "Already way a head of you."

"Wow." Aubrey's mouth dropped when she saw the size of the bottle in the redhead's hand. Chloe wasn't joking when a few days ago she told her that she was bribing her brothers to get her a handle of alcohol for the limo ride.

"What are your plans for after?"

"I don't know. Beca told me she had something planned but wouldn't tell me anything else. Are you and Luke doing anything?"

"No. I barely got him to go to the dance with me."

Chloe frowned, God did she really hate this kid. "Why are you dating him Bree. Honestly?" Aubrey was a little taken back by the change in atmosphere from the redhead.

"I like him Chloe, why else would I?"

"No, that's not the reason."

Aubrey sighed in defeat, shrugging her shoulders and tracing the lines of her palms with her finger. "Who else would date me Chloe? I'm kinda a nutcase if you haven't noticed already."

"No you're not." Chloe poured two shots for her and Aubrey each befriend taking a seat back on the bed. Handing the glasses over, Chloe continued. "Any person in their right mind would be lucky to have you. You might be a little uptight but there's that one person who will be there to even you out." Her hand moved the the top of Aubrey's knee and she gave a firm squeeze. "I just want you to be happy."

"Thanks Chlo." Aubrey was the one now to lean her head in Chloe's shoulder.

"You're welcome. Now-" Lifting her glass up, Aubrey pulled away and did the same, mirroring the grin plastered on Chloe's mouth. "Let's get this party started!"

Back to Stacie and Beca….

Stacie grinned large when her look was complete, and turned off the light in the bathroom. "Are you ready to pick our girls up?"

Nodding her head, Beca returned the smile. "Hell yeah."

---

"Chloe seriously. You have been eyeing me since we picked you and Bree up." Beca snickered, watching how her girlfriend's eyes remained on her body. They were walking into the school and could already hear the music coming from the gymnasium, the basslines vibrating the metal on the lockers.

"I know Becs but God…. you look sexy." Chloe's voice couldn't even hide the whimper that snuck pass her lips when she scanned the brunette's body, her eyes territorial. "You in that suit is making me want to do very bad things to you and we haven't even stepped into the gym yet."

Stopping in her tracks, Beca reached for Chloe's wrist, bringing her body in close to her's and wrapping her hands around the redhead's waist. "If I can control my hormones-which I barely can-" Her eyes shifted down the redhead's body, causing her to lick her lips as she took the entire dress in. "So can you Beale." Her mouth ghosted over Chloe's and could feel the girl's lips curve into a small smile. Chloe wasn't wearing heels under her dress and Beca was so for once, it made Beca the same height, maybe a little bit taller. "I have something planned for us anyway afterwards, remember?"

"Can you tell me what it is?" Chloe asked and Beca gave a firm shake to her head in response. "Please?" Begging was her last and final step.

"No…..and don't you even think about sticking your bottom lip out and giving me those puppy dog eyes." Beca quickly stopped Chloe when she saw the transformation forming on her face and in her eyes.

Smiling that Beca knew exactly what was coming next, "Okay fine. But i'm excited to see what the surprise is." Chloe closed the small amount of space there was left and gave Beca a more PG kiss rather than one they usually end up doing. She did though pull away before the kiss had any slight possibility of becoming more heated.

"Okay DJ. We should go in. I do recall you having a gig tonight." Chloe tossed Beca wink and laced their hands together.

As they were walked in, the power from the bass boomed through their cores and already the area smelt like dancing, sweaty bodies with a mixture of hairspray, cologne and perfume. Jesus, it wasn't even an hour into the dance and the smell was repulsive.

Emily and Benji were dancing out on the floor, along with Jesse and his new girl who Beca had the chance of meeting in the limo ride here. She was happy for Jesse, really. He was an all around good kid and honestly, she did feel a little bad that her and Stacie were behind the breakup between him and Aubrey. Bless his heart for not being upset because Beca doesn't know what she would do without his cheesy movie quotes and that god awful goofy grin.

Chloe waved to Aubrey who was sitting at one of the closest tables alone and instantly could tell something was bugging her. Seeing this, Beca stopped where she was and turned to Chloe who had that concerned best friend face. Plus, where was Luke?

"What do you think is wrong?" Beca asked genuinely, watching the blonde sip her drink, eyeing the dancing students in front of her. She followed the blonde's line of sight and found out who she was staring at. It was Stacie and Gwen laughing out on the floor, Stacie twirling around the other blonde and dipping kisses into the devot of the girl's neck and Gwen trying to escape the kisses because it looked like it was tickling her.

"I think I know what it is." Chloe said, bringing Beca back after watching Stacie and Gwen. "You go start your mixes. I'm going to go talk to her. Save me a dance." She leaned in and gave Beca one last kiss before walking over to the table.

When she got there, Aubrey broke her trance on the dance floor and looked up to Chloe and smiled. It was a fake one, a pretty damn good fake smile but Chloe knew something was truly bothering her underneath it.

"Hey Bree." Chloe said, sitting down and joining her friend at the table. "Why aren't you on the floor? You love to dance!" Chloe did her best to keep her bubbly tone.

"Remember? Luke doesn't dance." Aubrey countered with a fake laugh but was followed by a visible frown. "But he does spike the punch and leave every five seconds to take a, 'smoke break.'" Aubrey used her fingers for air quotes.

"God he is such an asshole." Chloe said under gritted teeth. Never did she like the boy, not even when Aubrey started dating him their sophomore year. She always thought he was the king of all tools and first of all, he smokes cigarettes. That should be a deal breaker right there. Also, he doesn't care about school and Aubrey does. A whole lot. But Chloe had to respect her friend's needs when she would always say, "You just need to get to know Luke." Well, Chloe did and still she doesn't like the boy.

That's why she liked Aubrey and Stacie together. Chloe would never tell the blonde this now, but Stacie was great for her. She brought out a side of Aubrey that Chloe has never seen and it was a hell of a good side. Stacie was extremely smart, cared about school, her family, friends and most of all, cared about Aubrey.

"Do you believe in second chances?" Aubrey said, breaking Chloe out of her running thoughts. Her focus was back on the floor and Chloe didn't even have to look to know that she was staring at Stacie.

"Of course I do." Chloe answered. "I'm not going to lie, I didn't at first but, I took a chance and gave one to Beca. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made."

Aubrey nodded her head lightly and being friends with the blonde for so long, she knew the tears were threatening to pour out. The way Aubrey's jaw would clench and how her teeth would nip at her bottom lip, choking back the tears. "I think I do too but now, it's too late."

And Chloe knew she was talking about Stacie. "Bree I'm so so-"

"No it's fine." Aubrey cutoff, offering her another fake smile but her eyes misty. "Come dance with me. I can't wait to hear the midget's music she planned for us tonight."

Chloe wanted to talk about how Aubrey felt because obviously, her friend was upset but she also knew how much this night meant to her so, the last thing she wanted was to have her best friend cry over somebody. Instead of talking, Chloe mirrored the smile and took Aubrey's hand, leading her into the crowd of dancing bodies,ready to forget about their previous conversation.

The night continued and Luke finally came back but his bad boy ego kept him from dancing. After dancing with Chloe for majority of Beca's music-which was amazing and the way Beca looked up there playing was it almost hot enough to melt Chloe to the floor- Aubrey went back to sit with Luke at the tables.

Everyone was having a blast, dancing around and just being free and soon enough, it was time to announce homecoming royalty.

Beca came down from the booth she was DJing at and over to where Chloe was, wrapping her arms around Chloe's waist from behind and bringing her mouth close to the redhead's ear. "Have I ever mentioned how fucking sexy of a dancer you are, especially with my mixes?"

Beca's voice brought shivers down Chloe's spine and she felt her knees turn wobbly, barely able to stand her up straight. "You have not. But I do remember telling you what Titanium does to me and you still ended up putting that into your playlist."

"Oh yeah." Chloe could feel Beca's smirk form on the outer part of her ear. "Shame on me." Beca's voice was teasing and flirty and all around making it hard for Chloe not to take Beca right then and there for everyone to see; not that she'd care with Beca sounding as hot as she was. It had to be the liquid courage from the alcohol they all endeavored in the limo before entering the school. She wasn't drunk but she certainly wasn't sober. Also, drinking any type of alcoholic beverage sent her hormones on a roller coaster of a ride, making her extremely horny and when Beca looked the way she did, it only made the pressure between her legs throb even harder.

"Okay Barden! How are you guys doing tonight?" The principal of the school asked and was responded by loud cheers from the students that rumbled the gym's walls. "Good I'm glad to hear it. Sorry to cut the dancing short but right now, it's time to announce homecoming royalties!" The students erupted into another wave of cheers. "Can I get all of the senior class nominees up to the stage please."

All the pairs walked up to the stage; Aubrey and Luke, Chloe and Tom, Gwen and Aaron and Beca and Stacie.

Beca thought it was pretty cool to finally be on the other side of the school's popularity board and be nominated for homecoming queen. That was probably the one thing good thing that came out of the whole fake dating situation.

"Okay great!" The principal said, watching all the couples fall into position. "Now that we have them all up here, let's announce homecoming royalti-"

"STECA!"

A random student from the crowd interrupted, causing the whole student body to roar cheers. Beca and Stacie laughed at the random fan, blowing him a kiss and smirking to their competition on the stage. No way were they destined to lose. Gwen, who looked unhappy to be standing next to her ex boyfriend was even cheering for them.

"Thank you Chris for the public service announcement. Remember, you have lunch detention next week." The principal joked and was followed by laughs. "Okay where was I….oh right! Let's announce this year's homecoming royalties for the class of 2018!" A student with an envelope came from behind the stage and handed it over to the principal. "And the winners for homecoming royalties are… Beca and Stacie!" The school erupted into screams of cheers, almost loud enough to break the school's glass windows. "Our first same sex couple to ever win in Barden history. Let's congratulate them!"

Stacie yanked Beca into a tight bear hug before walking to get their crowns and when they made it over to the principal, them over their heads. It was cheap plastic and nothing to go nuts about but honestly, Beca felt like royalty and couldn't be happier that she won with her best friend.

After Beca and Stacie got their crowns, it was time for their dance in front of the entire school, something Beca was too ecstatic about doing. The crowd of students made an opening on the dance floor while at the same time congratulating the couple on their win.

The music started up and Beca reached up to place her hands behind Stacie's neck. "You're way too tall for me Stacie." Beca said,standing up on her tippy toes and struggling to find a comfortable position as they swayed back and forth to some sappy romantic love song. "Switch me please."

Stacie laughed at her her awkward movements and switched her arms to behind Beca's neck so the brunette could rest her arms around Stacie's waist. "Better shorty?" Stacie teased with a smirk.

"Oh for sure." Beca mimicked the look and the both of them continued to dance around the opened circle while everyone else watched. If she had a choice, she'd dip out on this dance because it was just plain out uncomfortable just having everyone's eyes on her and Stacie while they danced. It made her skin crawl.

"So what's the deal with you and Gwen?" Beca asked.

"Just like I said before, we are just friends." Stacie reminded, rolling her eyes that she needed to repeat herself.

"Friends who kiss each other?" Beca challenged, hearing Stacie snicker at this.

"You could say that but definitely not friends with benefits because we haven't had sex or anything close to that level. I don't know, it's weird." Stacie tried to explain but was hard to do so. "Everything planned for you and Chloe afterwards? Before I came in, I checked on your jeep after leaving it at the school overnight and it was fine."

Beca nodded her head. "Yep and thanks Stace. We will probably leave after this dance. You going to be fine here?"

"Yeah. We will probably just take the limo back and go to Amy's afterparty." Stacie said, repositioning her hands so she was twirling at one of Beca's curls. "Have you been drinking pineapple juice? Shaved? Remember what I told you about the earlobe sucking and hickies are a must and you need to tell me if the curtains match the drapes."

Beca barked out a laugh, stopping Stacie from her rambles about sex and such. "Oh my god stooopp." She hid her embarrassment in Stacie's chest and felt the taller girl's chin rest on the top of her head. "What on earth am I going to do without you in college?"It hurt just thinking about it.

"Oh come on Beca." Stacie whined, gripping at the back of Beca's head and dig her deeper into her chest. "Can we not talk about that? It puts me in bad mood."

"Yeah sorry." Beca apologized, squeezing at Stacie's hips even tighter. They have brought up the whole, "going to college" conversation before but it never lasted longer than a couple seconds. The thought of Beca being apart from her best friend for months, maybe even years was something that tore her insides up. Waking up and not making Stacie her usual coffee. Coming home from school and wanting to pig out on chips and pizza while playing video games. That would all be gone when it comes May and they're tossing their caps and flipping their tassel from right to the left. She honestly couldn't even picture her life without Stacie by her side.

"You know, I may say this a lot but I want you to know that you're seriously like a sister to me." Beca lifted her head up from her chest, connecting their eyes as they continued to sway. It almost felt like they were slow dancing in a room by themselves. Some serious John Mayer shit. "We've gone through hell and back, especially over the last two months but I wouldn't trade any of the moments and memories spent with you for all the money in the world. You're my person Stace."

And it was true. Stacie to Beca was like her life line. Without her, she's wouldn't be alive. Stacie got Beca through her parents divorce, Beca helped Stacie regain herself after the first love of her life cheated on her, Beca helped Stacie clear her mind when she said she was in love with her. They've been through it all and though those were horrible problems to experience, it made them stronger as a person and also, their friendship.

A single tear rolled down the cheek of the taller girl and Beca caught it before it fell. "God dammit Beca." With the back of her hand, she wiped the wet stream off her cheek. "I wasn't planning on crying tonight."

"I'm sorry." Beca chuckled, glancing around the gym and taking a few glances at random students who were circled around. She met eyes with a few, mostly girls, who looked as if they were tearing up as well. Even we she met eyes with Chloe, those bright sapphire orbits were sad and misty.

The song ended faster than Beca thought it was going to and the students around them applauded loud and began to start back up with dancing when the playlist Beca made went on shuffle.

"How do I look?" Stacie asked, pointing to her face. "I better not have raccoon eyes now or I'll destroy you."

Beca's thumb reached up to wipe off a little black that was smeared under her eyes. Making sure she got all of it and no signs of Stacie crying were shown, Beca gave a proud smile. "You look great Stace."

Returning the smile, Stacie pulled Beca into one of her famous bear hugs. "I love you Becs."

Molding into the touch, Beca wrapped her arms around the taller girl's waist and pulled her in close, leaning her cheek on Stacie's shoulder. "I love you too."

"Congrats guys." Beca knew it was Chloe by the sweetness in her tone.

Pulling her head off of Stacie's shoulder, Beca turned around with a smile, happy to finally be able to spend some time with her girlfriend. She loved to mix and DJing was like a hobby to her but tonight, she really only wanted to be with Chloe.

"Thanks." Stacie replied, smiling at the redhead. Her eyes scanned the crowd and landed on a blonde in the center of the room, staring her down like a lion about to attack its prey. "I uhh… I'll leave you guys alone."

Stacie was gone almost immediately, leaving Beca and Chloe alone around students dancing to the music next to them.

"I think you owe me a dance DJ." Chloe stuck out her hand and only to be taken by Beca in return.

Pulling Chloe towards the crowd, ready to get her groove on which definitely wasn't a Beca thing to do but for Chloe, she'd do anything. "A few songs and then, I have something planned for us."

---

"Okay Romeo, this was definitely not what I was expecting from you at all." Chloe gushed while her eyes switched from the cooler of fancy wines and beers and the back seats laying flat and Beca's trunk decorated like a bed

After the dance, Beca knew that what was inevitably about to happened for her and Chloe, had to be one of the best nights of their lives. She didn't want the typical cliché get a hotel room like every other high school student and go at it like animals. No. Chloe deserved more and with that, Beca remembered a certain fantasy the redhead once told her while she was still dating that douche bag tom and decided to turn that dream into a reality.

"You like?" Beca said before stepping out of her jeep and walking over to Chloe's side and opening the door for her.

Taking the offered hand Beca had out, Chloe as well, got out of the jeep to walk back around and get a good look at everything Beca set up. "Like? I love it!" Chloe Beamed a smile that physically hurt Beca's insides. It was like seeing a little kid on Christmas get his or hers favorite toy from Santa but ten times cuter. "I can't believe you remembered my lame little date I always wanted."

Beca scoffed at her silliness. If anything, she had a memory of an elephant but that's not even the point. "Of course I remembered. Anything you tell me is something worth remembering no matter if it's something small like your cheer competitions or what you had for dinner two nights ago."

"That's a little creepy that you keep track of what I eat…" Chloe teased with a mischievous smirk, earning an eye roll from her girlfriend who hopped into her trunk and made herself comfortable in the blankets.

"You know what I mean." Beca patted the side next to her, signaling for Chloe to join her. The dress she was wearing made it almost impossible for Chloe ripping the material or flashing Beca in the process. "Here." With her hands, Beca reached for Chloe's and helped her girlfriend into her trunk gently. Thank god for this pantsuit she decided for the night. Not only did it make Beca look incredibly hot but also provided maximum comfort so she could move with ease.

"Even though that dress on you is honestly the hottest fucking thing I've seen, it sure as hell doesn't look comfortable." Beca chuckled when she noticed Chloe tugging at the dress to prove her point. "In the front I have some spare clothes for the both of us."

Chloe glanced to the front and saw a bag full of clothes with enough stuff for both her and Beca to change into. "It's okay." Chloe smiled and straightened out her dress, crossing her legs at the ankles so she was sitting comfortably next to Beca. "I'll be out of it soon enough."

And Beca knew just what Chloe meant even though, the flirtiness was kept tamed inside the redhead's body and knowing that Chloe didn't mean she would be out of the dress and into the spare clothes Beca brought for her, her breathing short circuited and was all of a sudden gasping for needed air. "But first-" Chloe pulled out her cellphone and began searching through her music library. " I know just the perfect song."

Chloe twisted her body back to the front seat, giving Beca an eye full of her cleavage when she reached up to grab the aux cord. Not that she was complaining or anything. The music started playing throughout Beca's jeep and she couldn't help the long, exaggerated groan that escaped from her body when the back of her head crashed into one of the pillows.

"Why is it always country with you?" Beca whined, not really wanting to listen to country but would deal with it because she'd do basically anything for her girlfriend ( with minimal complaining, obviously).

I softly kiss your neck, and slowly whisper

You breathe in 'cause it feels cold where my lips were

"Yes. Country again Mitchell. This song is perfect for tonight and you know how much I love Sam Hunt." Setting her phone down in the front seat, she shifted back into position, staring straight into Beca's eyes.

"No matter how bad I want to keep you in this suit all night Mitchell-" Chloe dragged the tip of her finger up the v-cut in the suit, feeling the goosebumps instantly rise when she ran over the warm skin and the way Beca flinched whenever her fingers skimmed the inner frame of her breast. "-I gonna need to take it off."

Beca's eyes followed Chloe's path and down to where the redhead's finger was on her chest. She didn't have any time to react before her instincts took over and she was pinned on top of Chloe, kissing her as if her life depended on it.

No time was wasted when she felt Chloe's tongue brush against her bottom lip and she allowed access to roam the inside of her mouth. Like always, Beca's inner beast would appear and dominate the kiss and making Beca swallow every last moan that growled from Chloe's throat.

Beca's hand immediately started working their way up the redhead's body until her palms were filled with her breast and could feel Chloe's heartbeat from under her fingertips. Beca was hungry for more, having her hands find the way to Chloe's zippers and attempting to pull them down. The grunts of frustration Chloe felt with Beca's lips still molded to her's and tongue's fighting against each others made Chloe giggle into the kiss.

"Here." Chloe lifted her hand and easily swiped the zipper down, exposing her ribs and mirroring this exact motion on the other side of the dress. "Thought you needed some help."

"I definitely didn't." Beca tried to stay confident. "For someone who wants this off so bad, don't you think she'd make it a little easier to unzip?"

"Sorry babe." Chloe apologized. "If it makes you feel any better, Aubrey had to zip me up before the dance because I couldn't get it."

"Okay, that does make me feel better." Beca watched as Chloe slid her arms out of the dress and started sliding the material down her torso, revealing a matching lacy red bra underneath.

I can feel the bass line in the bed liner, and your heart on mine,

Tryin' to jump up out of your chest.

Beca stayed still watching Chloe strip the top of her dress, frozen in place and wondering how on earth did she end up with a girl as beautiful as Chloe. Beca was socially awkward and moody ninety nine percent of the time but still managed to bag up the brightest, bubbly redhead the world has to offer.

"You like what you see Mitchell?" Chloe caught Beca's admiring eyes roam her half naked body as she went to push off the rest of her dress.

"God yes." Beca's voice was almost a whisper when she was presented by Chloe who was now in just a matching pair of red lingerie. "You're gorgeous."

Baby you're not on fire, girl you're on fire

Out in the dark, wrapped up in the stars

So right, girl I'm so high

"Are you just saying that to get into my pants?" Chloe teased, beaming her usual bright smile and Beca laughed at this, clearly due to the fact that the redhead wasn't wearing any pants and also, she was the one initiating all the discarding of clothes.

"Maybe…" With her hand, she gently pushed Chloe down by her shoulder, laying her head on one of the pillows and moving her body so she was hovering over her. Looking down at those pale blue eyes, so close Beca could taste her lipgloss and hear Chloe's breathing become ragged, she hooked one of her hands on the curve of the redhead's neck, tangling their legs together. "Is it working?"

And by the way Chloe's chest was heaving up and down, pressing against Beca's was an answer by itself.

"I think you already know the answer to that." Chloe managed to reply and Beca knows what had to happen next.

You and me, wild and free

Way out in the woods nobody for miles

Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down

Just us and the speakers on

It wasn't anything new either but thought of it as a whole, sex finally with Chloe, was eating her alive, head to toe. The trust was there. God, was the trust there. Beca could give Chloe her life and trust that she'd keep it safe. Hell, she already gave her heart away to her, why not add more? But there was one thing Beca couldn't escape from her mind, and that was a taunting echo ringing in her ears reminding her that she could fuck up this entire situation. Ruin everything.

So to help, she thought of some pointers Stacie gave her from the previous date Chloe and her had and also, the mini pep talk she gave before they left the dance.

Beca spent a few beats looking at Chloe, tracing the lines of her jaw bone with her thumb and finding the darker patches of blue in her eyes with the help of the moon and stars above them, before she kissed her again.

The kiss was tender and slow as Chloe's hands positioned themselves on Beca's lower back, bringing her body in closer to her's.

Just us and the speakers on

That ringing noise was back inside Beca's head and she knew she needed to act fast before who knows what would happen. Deciding it was now or never, Beca broke away from the kiss, briefly, teeth nipping at Chloe's bottom lip when she pulled away. "Are you wet?" Beca went back in for a few more kisses, feeling a sharp inhale of air and a gasp exit from Chloe's mouth. Pulling away once again, not bothering to to hear Chloe's response, she spoke against the redhead's lips. "How bad do you want me to fuck you?"

Dirty. .Filthy.

That's what Beca felt like after saying these things. She didn't know why she said them, why she thought they'd make her feel better but she didn't really know what else to do. Her nerves were starting to boot up, senses were hazy, Chloe and her were about to have sex for the first time ever and all her sane thoughts were going haywire, leaving no coherent thing left to say. So, she went for dirty talk to lighten the mood-which of course, didn't lighten up anything but made the atmosphere awkward. Made Beca feel awkward.

Beca assumed that Chloe sensed this because instead of falling back into the kiss Beca was urging for, she pulled her head back with knitted eyebrows and a puzzled look on her features.

Pausing the music and making the jeep go silent; other than the crickets chirping outside and slight breeze blowing against the trees, Chloe perked up on one of her elbows, following Beca's distance when she moved her head away. "What are you doing?" Chloe asked with concern in her voice. It was then when Beca mentally punched herself in the face, knowing she just ruined this whole moment they had going on.

Beca felt her cheeks getting hot and she felt smaller than she already was. Embarrassed would be an understatement. "I uh..-" she cleared her throat; all of a sudden it was super dry. "-trying to uhhh, set the mood."

"By talking dirty?" It was seen that Chloe was trying to not embarrass Beca anymore than she already was feeling by giving her a squint and one of those deathly adorable smirks. "Why?"

"Because Stacie said it helps and is in her words, a turn on to most people." Beca admitted, nodding her head down so she didn't have to look at Chloe's eyes anymore. This was true. Stacie spent the whole day reminding Beca to say the most repulsive things to Chloe because dirty talking was sexy. And usually she'd be thanking Stacie for her sex advice due to her experience but right now, she wants to kill her for making her look stupid.

"Hey." Chloe lifted up Beca's head with her finger, making the brunette lock eyes again. "You didn't need to go to Stacie for sex advice Becs. Yes, I think a minimal amount of dirty talk is sexy, maybe I'd like it more eventually, but did you forget I'm a virgin too?" Chloe asked and honestly, Beca didn't think of anything like that. Chloe was pretty much in the same situation as she was as far as sex. "I want this night to be special, which it will be, and you don't need to change how to act to make it happen. Just be yourself. The Beca Mitchell who stole my heart."

Beca inhaled sharply, her body starting to fill with emotions that she couldn't control. It was overwhelming and tears were starting to form in the corners of Beca's eyes and she had to pinch her eyes shut to keep them from falling out. Tonight, she would not cry in front of Chloe. Everything Stacie said prior to this vanished and all that was running through her mind was Chloe and her lips.

"Just to make sure though-" Chloe lifted herself up and grabbed two beers from the cooler Beca brought, tossing one over to Beca. "Bottle opener?" Chloe asked, realizing that she couldn't twist these ones off.

Fuck.

Beca knew that her and Stacie forgot something. They were so worried about getting the alcohol that they didn't even stop and realize they needed a bottle opener to open the damn bottle. "Shit." Beca cursed under her breath. "I totally spaced on that Chlo." Of course. Of fucking course. This night is going perfect.

"Hmmm." Chloe thought for a second, then pointed over to one of Beca's high heels. "Let me see one of those."

Confused, Beca obeyed and reached over to her heel, handing it over to Chloe. She was about to ask why she wanted her shoes but soon, Chloe used the heel part to pop open the lid in a swift motion.

"Where did you learn that?" Beca said amazed and truthfully, more turned on than she has ever been with Chloe. Give her a lady that can crack open a beer with a high heel and she better wife up that rare gem immediately before anyone else gets a hold of her.

"Perks of being a hidden red neck and having two older brothers." Chloe said with a mischievous smirk. Pointing to Beca's unopened beer, the brunette handed it over and Chloe did the exact same thing she previously did to her's.

Once they both had their beers and Chloe turned the music back on, it didn't take much time for Chloe to start swallowing the liquid down her throat in a crazy fast amount of time. Beca watched in awe at one, how incredibly sexy Chloe looked chugging a beer, half naked and perched up onto her elbows with the moonlight glistening over her golden skin, one leg bent and the other one straight and two, where she found the talent to drink a beer so insanely fast.

Moonlight's tracing those tree tops across your face

There's a feeling in your eyes the shadows can't erase

Chloe finished the beer with one last gulp and tossed the empty bottle next to her, sporting a proud smile towards Beca when she saw that the brunette was indeed still staring.

The cool wind around us is breezing around us

Following my fingers through your hair

Not being able to handle her hormones any longer, if she were she is sure she'd combust, Beca threw the beer outside of the jeep without making even a dent into the liquid and hearing the glass shatter when it hit the gravel. Without hesitation, she climbed up onto Chloe, straddling her thighs and leaned down to close the distance once again.

This time though, Chloe tasted like Bud Light and it was absolutely fucking delicious.

And I'm on fire, girl you're on fire

Out in the dark, wrapped up in the stars

So right, girl I'm so high

You and me, wild and free

There was no need for urgency even though Beca physically and mentally craved to touch Chloe or she was sure she'd die if it didn't happen soon. They were alone and for the first time in a long time, Beca felt safe with Chloe.

A deep sigh escaped past Chloe's mouth when she felt Beca's hips start to grind into her front. Coincidentally, to the beat of the song playing through her jeep's speakers. "This is more like it." She whispered against Beca's lips, immediately allowing Beca's tongue to fight against hers when she felt a swipe of her tongue on the bottom of her lip and loving the way Beca's mouth curved slowly into a small smile, letting her know that Beca got her confidence back.

Way out in the woods nobody for miles

Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down

Just us and the speakers on

Beca felt Chloe's hands fumbling up her body and under her suit at the top of her chest, pushing the material off her shoulders but to only be stopped by the amount of tape keeping the suit in place.

Giggling when Beca had to pull the tape off, Chloe finally pushed off the suit along with the button at mid stomach to completely take the top off. "No bra I see." She teased, running her fingers up Beca's stomach. Her eyes were dark as night and lips were swollen from the kissing. Cheeks were flushed and somehow, her hair still looked perfect.

Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down

Just us and the speakers on

Beca shivered at the touch of her hands at first, feeling the coldness of Chloe's fingers on her warm skin. Her muscles flinched under Chloe's touch and felt her stomach coiling by the second the closer the fingers got to her breast. "Hence the tape." Beca said, letting her eyes float shut when Chloe's hands brushed beneath her breasts. "Didn't want to have a nip slip while performing my set."

"I think I forgot to mention how hot you looked up there mixing." Chloe cooed, her eyes burning holes through Beca's chest as she watched her hands caress the skin. "And how your fingers moved so delicately against the dials, twisting and turning with so much power." Her words began to fade out, nearly turning into a soft whimper. "I can only imagine how good they really are."

Your lips, your hair, your smile, your touch, your kiss, your stare

Your vibe's too much

The groan that released out of Beca was in between a growl and a moan and the placement of Chloe's hands-which were now groping rough around her chest wasn't helping with wanting to devour Chloe this very moment.

Beca took action, crashing their lips together as if her life depended on it and one of her hands found the clasp of Chloe's bra with ease, unattaching the material and letting it fall to the redhead's elbows. Not breaking the kiss, tongues tangled together and each of them swallowing every last sound exited from each others mouths, Chloe pulled the bra off her arms and Beca left no time wasted before both of her hands were covering her chest. This made Chloe's hips thrust up into Beca, craving for something more and causing the girl on top of her to stagger out a deep, throaty moan.

It lights me up, you got me set

I'm way too gone, so baby let your eyes close

Say my name and watch me goin' up in flames

Urgency swam through Beca's veins and she needed to feel more. Breaking away from the kiss, it didn't take long for Beca's mouth to find new skin to nip and suck at as she landed on the part just underneath Chloe's jaw. She could feel the girl's pulse throbbing against lips, heartbeat almost hurting out from underneath her skin. She nipped at the skin, studying the sharp hiss of pleasure that came out of Chloe and placed a gentle kiss over the area before moving down to her collarbone, doing exactly the same thing.

As she got closer, Beca's mouth landed on Chloe's chest and her mouth took no time in snatching the nipple into her lips, teeth gnawing lightly at the hardened peaks. This was the first time Beca had ever done this and though there were waves of nerves smacking her in the face, hoping that she was doing this right, the sounds coming out of Chloe and how she was a writhing mess underneath her was a great reminder that she was in fact, doing a hell of a job.

"Beca…" Chloe sounded nearly like she was about to sob. Lifting her head from Chloe's chest, she found that the way Chloe had her head pressed deep in the pillow, eyes shut tight and head facing the roof of her jeep to be probably the hottest things she has ever laid eyes on. "Beca baby please."

And Beca knew what this meant. Chloe's begs and her heavy breathing. She didn't need to be told twice and soon, she positioned herself back up towards Chloe, kissing the trail of skin she left going down her chest all the way back up again until she landed back onto Chloe lips. Her hand was hesitant at first, a little shaky but soon, Beca moved it down Chloe's stomach, fingers hitting the lace at the top of her underwear.

Girl I'm on fire, girl you're on fire

Out in the dark, where the wild things are

So right, girl I'm so high

Stopping right as the tips of her fingers made it under the lace, Beca looked into Chloe's eyes when she finally decided to open them and without saying anything, earning a nod in approval before she slid her hand farther in.

Chloe gasped when she felt Beca's fingers, tilting her hips up to create a harder touch and it was better than Beca has ever imagined it being. She waited her whole life to be in the position she was now and to do it with Chloe, who was wet with arousal, wet for Beca and hearing her moan loudly every time her fingers hit just that right spot, was something she wouldn't change for the world.

She moved her fingers in and out faster, thumb teasing Chloe's most sensitive part and admiring the way her hips rocked in sync with her hand.

"Baby.." Chloe eyes fell shut again, moaning weakly up towards the jeep's roof, exposing her neck to the fullest which Beca took this as an invitation for her to attach her lips to. Fingernails dug their way into Beca's back causing her to hiss at the pain but was pleasurable pain. "Oh baby.." Sucking on Chloe's pulse point and keeping a steady rhythm with her fingers, the redhead's breathing became more and more labored, letting Beca know she was almost there.

Retracting her mouth from Chloe's neck, Beca angled her face close to Chloe's, kissing the corner of her mouth, watching how Chloe was chewing on her bottom lip. "Open your eyes." Beca ordered softly. She didn't know why or where this came from but something told her that she wanted to see Chloe come undone, see the exact look in her eyes when it was just that time.

It wasn't easy but Chloe slowly drifted her eyes open, meeting Beca's cloudy blues and the look of pure admiration under them. It only took one look into Beca's loving eyes and before she knew it, Chloe's mouth fell open, releasing a silent scream into the night's air, not daring to break eye contact with Beca.

And as she watched all of this happen, seeing Chloe in that state,was honestly one of the most beautiful sights she has ever witnessed. Beca slowed the movements of her fingers down but still allowing them to bring Chloe back down from her high as her body shook with spasms. When Beca knew Chloe was done, she froze her movements and they laid there, just staring into one another's eyes.

"Wow." Chloe wheezed, her voice raspy and deep. Her breathing was also fighting to regain itself. "That was…. wow."

Beca pulled her hand out from Chloe's underwear, sucking her fingers clean and noting that she definitely has to taste Chloe for future times because damn, was it good. Chloe sighed watching Beca lick her fingers clean, this causing her eyes to re-darken.

"Good job." Beca smirked, popping her last finger out of her mouth and lifting it up in front of Chloe's face. Squinting her eyes, Chloe had no idea what Beca was doing. It looked like she was waiting for a high five. She decided to take her assumptions and raise her hand up as well, meeting Beca's and giving her a high five.

"Did you seriously just high five me?" Chloe asked, smiling because of course Beca would end mind blowing sex with a handshake.

"Yes I did." She smiled and leaned down to give Chloe a proper, lingering kiss.

Pulling away and in a heavy daze, "What in the world am I going to do with you Beca Mitchell?" Chloe cooed, tickling her fingers along Beca's rib cage.

You and me, wild and free

Way out in the woods parked under the pines

Love in the back of the truck with the tailgate down

Changing positions, Chloe flipped them over so she was now on top of Beca. Her body started gravitating down Beca's chest and down to the area where Beca needed her most.

At least there was one thing Chloe knew she could do.
