Beca woke up with a small groan, she had been released from the hospital a week ago, but the pain still bothered her every once in awhile. She tried to get out of bed without waking Chloe, sh had been taking care of Beca and needed her rest.
"Baby what are you doing?"
"Just getting up to get something Chloe, you can go back to sleep."
Chloe sat up and looked at Beca. "I can tell you're in pain, just tell me what you need."
Beca sighed. "I need you to go back to sleep."
Chloe frowned. "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm tired of you taking care of me.. I just want you to relax."
Chloe's face softened as she grabbed Beca's hand. "Babe I'm fine, I get all the rest I need, when I married you I promised to take care of you, I promised mom I'd take care of you, it's my job and I love doing it. I know you like being independent, but sometimes independent people need help too and I know if there is ever a time when I need your help, you'll be there taking care of me too. So lay back and let me take care of you.. what do you need?"
Beca sighed. "I'm not feeling too well today, I was gonna get an ice pack and take some medicine."
Chloe nodded. "I'll get that, have you heard anything from the police about what's going on with Roger?"
"They basically said he'll be in jail for a very long time, there shouldn't be a trial considering the weapon was in his hand and we have footage of what happened, but we could go to trial for what he did the first time."
Chloe lifted Beca's shirt and gently placed the ice pack on Beca's stomach as Beca took her medicine. "Shit that's cold!"
Chloe laughed. "But it helps... so what are you thinking about doing, when it comes to going to trial?"
"I really don't know, if we go to trial and win.. that will definitely put more time on Roger's sentence, but who knows how long the trial will take. I honestly just want to forget the whole thing."
Chloe nodded. "I understand, I think you should just let him serve the time handed to him.. whatever happens to Roger isn't our business anymore.. like you said going to trial could take years and I don't think I can look at him anymore."
"I'm gonna go see him.."
"What?"
"Yup, next week.. hopefully I feel a lot better, but I'm gonna go see him.. I want to show him that he tried to knock me down numerous times, but I'm still here."
"Be careful.."
"I will.. He'll be handcuffed to the table anyway."
Chloe nodded. "You wanna sit out on the porch and look at the beach goers?"
"Yeah sounds good.. I wanna work on some mixes too.. gotta get back in the business mind."
"Okay.. you do that and I'll make some breakfast."
Chloe helped Beca sit outside and went back in to make breakfast while Beca worked on making her mixes.
Aubrey rolled her eyes as Riley walked in the kitchen with only a bra and jeans on. "Seriously Riley!"
"What?"
"Are you starting your seducing already today?"
Riley looked at Aubrey in mock confusion. "I don't know what you are talking about.."
"Really.. so you haven't been trying to seduce this past week?"
Riley shook her head. "Uh nope.."
"So what do you call what happened three days ago?"
Riley grinned. "An accident?"
*Flashback*
"OH MY GOD AUBREY! HELP ME!"
Aubrey came rushing into the bathroom with a stick. "What is it?"
"Spider!"
Riley ran over to Aubrey and wrapped her arms around her.
"Where?"
"I.. don't see it anymore."
Aubrey looked at Riley and noticed she had her naked body pressed against her. "Riley.. can you remove your naked body from me?"
Riley slowly moved. "Sorry.."
"It's fine." Aubrey turned and started to walk away.
"Hey Aubrey?"
Aubrey turned around to look back at Riley, her eyes instantly scanning over her body. "Uh yeah?"
"Thank you for coming to my rescue." Riley walked over to Aubrey and hugged her tightly. Her lips hovered over Aubrey's ear. "It really means a lot." She whispered.
Aubrey got goosebumps from the close proximity of Riley's body on hers. "L-Like I said.. it's fine.."
Riley kissed her cheek and skipped out the bathroom, leaving a wide eyes and extremely horny Aubrey in the bathroom.
*End Flashback*
"I legit saw a spider!" Riley said with a grin.
"Did you really?"
"Okay.. maybe not, but I'm not trying to seduce you right now, my shirt is in the dryer and I've got to pick up my dad from his check up."
"Oh.."
Riley laughed. "Yeah.. but I could seduce you if you wanted.."
"W-what?"
Riley walked behind Aubrey and wrapped her arms around her. "I said I could seduce you... if you wanted." She whispered in her ear. Aubrey closed her eyes as Riley gently kissed her neck and trailed her hand up Aubrey's shirt. "How does that feel?"
Aubrey nearly moaned at the way she was feeling. "It.. feels.. good."
Riley smirked and stepped away from Aubrey. "Cool.. I've gotta get going."
Aubrey looked at Riley with wide eyes as she got her shirt and ran out the door. "Fuck!" She ran in her room and locked the door before relieving some 'tension' that had been brewing in her for a while.
Chloe had finished making breakfast and was bringing the food out on the porch when she heard Beca finishing up a phone call. She sat next to Beca with a smile and handed Beca some food.
"Anybody important?" Chloe asked gesturing to the phone call.
"It's was Ry, she was telling me how John's check up went and she spoke with her mother."
"Wow... how'd that go?"
"She said her mom seemed different, more distant .. she's flying back here today."
"Are you gonna meet her?"
Beca shrugged. "John wants me to."
"You should... speaking of seeing people my mom wants to have lunch."
Beca smiled. "We can do that, I haven't seen mom in forever!"
"Are we gonna tell her about this place?"
Beca shook her head. "We can go somewhere.. I'll be fine."
"What if the paps spot us?"
"As long as they don't do anything that could hurt us it's fine, I'm sure our fans miss seeing our faces anyway. We can meet at pete's diner."
"Okay, I'll text my mom."
Riley walked into Beca and Chloe's house with a sigh, her nose was instantly met with the smell of amazing food. "Mm Bree whatever you're cooking smells amazing!"
Aubrey turned around and smiled at Riley. "Thanks, where's John?"
"My mom came back.. so he went home with her.. they're talking."
"Oh.."
"Yeah.. so it's just us for now.."
"Okay, well I'm making chicken wraps for lunch."
"I'll eat whatever, but that smells amazing!"
Aubrey smiled. "Beca said the same exact thing to me before.. you guys are really a like."
Riley smirked. "You know you say that a lot.."
"It's true.. you remind me a lot of Beca.. I can tell you're related."
"Do you or have you ever liked Beca?" Riley asked with a grin.
"What? no! She's married to my best friend why would you ask that?"
"Just because she's married doesn't mean you can't have a crush.. Beca's hot.. it's just you say you like me but you always comment on how I'm like Beca."
"I never thought about it that way."
Riley's eyes widened. "So you do!"
"What? No.. it's not like that I just.. admire her a bit, but don't tell her that.. her ego is big enough."
"So you don't have a crush on her?"
"..no.."
"That wasn't believable."
"I thought about fucking her a few times in high school, but that's it I swear!"
Riley laughed. "Oh my god!"
Aubrey put her hands in her face and groaned. "This is sooo embarrassing!"
"It's fine Aubrey and I won't tell her... hey have you ever thought about fucking me?"
Aubrey blushed as she thought about what she did earlier while thinking about Riley. "Uh no.."
Riley smirked. "Yeah okay.."
Chloe and Beca were now out eating lunch with Laura.
"It is so good to see you girls and I'm glad you're feeling better Beca."
"It's good to see you too mom."
Beca nodded. "I'm glad I'm feeling better too, I felt like crap this morning, but it's getting better and my wife here is making it very easy."
Laura grinned. "I can't believe my baby girl is married! I'm so proud of the both of you. You know I remember the day Chloe realized she really liked you."
*Flashback*
Chloe came running home from school with tears in her eyes, she ran straight to her room and slammed her door shut. Laura quickly got up and went to Chloe's room, she knocked on the door and opened it when she didn't get a response. "Chloe? What's wrong Bubby?"
Chloe sniffed and looked at her mom. "Mom you know I hate that name."
"So what.. What's wrong sweetheart?"
"I can't tell you.."
Laura frowned. "Chloe Diane Beale you can tell me anything."
"I don't think you'd love me anymore after this.."
"Baby I can never stop loving you."
Chloe nodded and wiped away a few tears before looking at her mom. "I uh.. I really like someone.. like a lot..."
"Chloe, you've liked people before... I thought you were dating Luke."
"I- I am.. I'm gonna break up with him.. I can't be with him, knowing I want someone else."
"Who is it honey?"
"B-Beca Mitchell..."
Laura frowned. "Beca Mitchell.. As in the girl who lives a few blocks down?"
Chloe nodded. "I know you hate me, I'm sorry.. I just uh she's so... her.."
Laura hugged Chloe tightly. "Baby you don't know me at all, I don't care if you like a girl. I didn't think Beca Mitchell would be your type but it's fine, really."
"Are you being serious mom?"
Laura smiled. "Yes Chloe, you love who you love.. I won't love you any less. Now tell me about her, I don't really know much about her."
Chloe grinned. "She's a total badass, but I can tell she's a sweetheart, she helped this kid after Eugene hit him and knocked his books down. There's this girl who is really quiet and never eats lunch, sometimes Beca sits with her and gives her lunch.. I only see the girl smile when Beca's around. We sit together in economics class and she smells so good! She's also really smart! and talented.. god she can sing, she can dance and rap and she good at making music.." Chloe frowned. "We don't talk much though and she avoids me because of Bree.. I don't know why, but Bree is so mean to her, I try to stop her but she does what she wants..." Chloe smiled again. "But when we're alone, or paired together for a project.. I see her and she's amazing! She opens up.. we talk and laugh.. god.. her laugh is amazing.. I love it! But then class ends and we walk out the door and she sees Bree and she just shuts down.."
"Maybe you should tell Aubrey how you feel about Beca, maybe then she'd lay off.."
"Bree would kill me if she knew I had feelings for 'the hobbit' as she likes to call her. She always says her name with disgust like Beca did something to her.. she calls her Mitchell with like pure hatred and I just... I don't understand and she won't talk about it."
"You need to figure something out, Aubrey could be messing something that could be great up."
"You know mom you're suppose to be telling me I should try to work things out with Luke.."
Laura laughed. "Yeah right.. I've never liked that boy."
"Really? Why didn't you ever say anything?"
"I thought he was just a boy you'd date for a week.."
"We've been dating for three years mom!"
"I know.. I was wrong." Laura said with a laugh. "But I think you should go after Beca.. How about you take some time off and figure things out.."
"That'd be great mom."
"I'm going to New York for business tomorrow. You can come with me."
Chloe smiled. "Great! Some time away is just what I need.."
Chloe already knew she wanted Beca, she just didn't know how to go about it. Maybe time away and a new atmosphere would help.
*End Flashback*
"Spending time away made me think Beca would never like me, so maybe it wasn't what I needed."
Beca laughed. "I think it was good, because if you would have approached me before I would have been like 'woah back the fuck off..' you know because you were still like the enemy in my eyes.. but because you left and you know all that happened, I got used to it and embraced my feelings and accepted that while you were Aubrey's best friend, you were nothing like her."
Chloe smiled and kissed Beca. "You're right."
Laura smiled. "You two are adorable."
"How are things with you and Sam?"
Laura grinned. "Things are great, he misses you guys, Beca he's waiting to start driving you around again."
Beca nodded. "Tell him in two weeks he's back on, October.. fourth."
"Okay."
"You know I first realized I liked you Chloe when you sat next to me in econ and smiled at me.. it was the first day of school and you just amazed me with your beauty, I mean I obviously already knew you, but you know you changed over the summer and you looked so beautiful, I just looked at you like 'shit I'm gay.' then when I fessed up to my parents, well you know.. they weren't understanding.. well more like my mom wasn't understanding.. my dad didn't say anything.."
Chloe smiled as she remember the first day of twelfth grade. "So that was why you looked at me like that when I sat next to you.. I thought you were bummed about me sitting with you because I was Aubrey's friend."
"I didn't even think about that.. you just looked so beautiful.. You were all like 'Hey Beca! How was your summer?' and I was just like 'fine it was fine..' but in my head I imagined throwing you on the desk and doing very inappropriate things to you."
Laura cleared her throat. "I am still sitting here you know."
Beca smirked. "Oh now you care about sex talk?"
Laura laughed. "Sometimes."
Aubrey walked into the house a little later in the day to see all the lights off. "Riley?" She called out.
"In the dining room!"
Aubrey walked into the dining room to find Riley standing there with candles lit all around the room. "Riley.. what is all of this?"
"So I spent a week trying to seduce and make you feel things for me.. sexually.. now I'm going to woo you.. you know pull at the heart strings.. make you feel things emotionally."
"I-I.."
"Just sit down and eat Bree.. please... I made lasagna.. Chloe told me it was your favorite, and it just so happens to be my favorite too."
Aubrey sat down and Riley sat across from her. "You look beautiful Bree."
Aubrey smiled. "You asked Chloe to take me out while you did all of this didn't you.."
Riley nodded. "Guilty."
Aubrey took a bite of the food and nearly moaned as she tasted it. "This is so good!"
"Thanks."
"Thank you for actually showing you care.. most people don't give me this much attention."
"You deserve it, you're amazing Aubrey."
Aubrey smiled and reached her hand across the table. The hands touched and Aubrey locked their fingers together. "You're pretty amazing too."
