The next morning Beca woke up to a Kayden jumping on the bed and landing on a Beca. "Auntie Bec wate up!"
Beca groaned and rolled on her back looking at the clock. It was only seven. "Kayden it's too early go back to sleep." Beca groggily said looking at the wide awake 2-year-old.
"Noooo, I want to see Chlowee, where she go?"
"She went home Munchkin." Beca stated and Kayden deflated. Beca hugged the little girl, it seemed that Kayden was just as enamored with Chloe as Beca was. "I'll take you to see her tonight. Okay?" Kayden seemed to brighten at the idea. "Now let's go wake your mom and get you some breakfast." If I have to get up then so does your mother.
After waking a hung-over, not so pleasant Sarah, they decided to go out for breakfast. Beca thought she should ask Jessie since he stayed over last night instead of going back to his mom's house. On the way to IHOP Kayden couldn't stop talking about her new friend, Chloe. Sarah rolled her eyes at her daughter. "Great now my sister and my daughter both have a crush on Chloe Beale. What am I going to do with you two?"
"Tell me about it, that is the first time Beca actually volunteered to go to one of those dinners'." Jessie chimed in and Beca just rolled her eyes.
"You guys can stop now."
A few hours before Beca were to leave for the game she received a text from Chloe.
*You're still coming to the game right?*
Of course! Even bringing a few more Chloe Beale fans.
*Really? Who?*
A little blonde girl who woke me up at 7am this morning wondering where you were. And her annoying mother.
*Be nice! You're just upset that she told me embarrassing stories! I'm excited! I can't wait to see you!* Beca smiled as she read the text and sent a teasing but true reply. Then just as she sent it another text came in deflating her a little.
*I mean can't wait to see you all! *
*Be nice! You're just upset that she told me embarrassing stories! I'm excited! I can't wait to see you!*
Chloe read what she just sent. She was excited to see Beca but wasn't sure of her feelings for the brunette. Ok maybe she was sure but wasn't ready to admit that to anyone yet so she quickly sent a follow-up text.
Chloe bit her lip wondering what Beca would think if she knew she was developing a crush on her. I mean she did say she was into girls, she might like me too. Chloe shook her head. She hasn't done anything that would indicate otherwise, she just wants to be friends. She was still thinking when the next text came in.
I can't wait to see you either. Especially in those short & tight volleyball shorts. ;) Chloe chuckled and she felt her heart race. Ok maybe she does feel the same way. She thought and typed a reply.
*LOL keep it in your pants Bec :) Now I have to get ready, see you at the game! Xoxo*
Thought you might like that, later.
Chloe shook her head smiling; this is going to be interesting. She threw her phone the bed and went to take a shower. After she finished getting dressed she smirked as she looked at herself in the mirror. She may or may not have rolled her shorts at her waist a few times making them just a little (or a lot) shorter than normal. Game on Mitchell.
Both teams were warming up on the gym floor before the game started. Chloe and Aubrey were talking to each other and warming up on the sidelines. "So who did you go on a date with and why didn't you tell me about it?" Chloe asked Aubrey while bumping the volleyball to each other.
"I didn't know how it would go and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it if there was nothing there."
"So how did it go?"
"I think it went very well." Someone said behind them and Aubrey felt her arms wrapping around her waist. She smiled catching the ball that was just bumped to her. Chloe's eyes about shot out of her head looking at the two.
"Stacey! You went on a date with Stacey and you didn't tell me!?" Chloe screamed running over to them. She hugged them both then started jumping and clapping. "I'm so happy! You've both only been into each other since freshman year! I was starting to wonder if we should have an intervention." She said making Aubrey roll her eyes.
"Hey I was just waiting on Brey to grow a pair and ask but she never did, so I had to." Stacey said earning a glare from her girlfriend and making Chloe laugh.
"Chowee, Chowee!" Chloe heard and turned seeing the little blonde girl running toward her, followed by Beca and Sarah. Chloe smiled and ran towards the little girl scooping her into a hug.
Stacey looked at Aubrey for an answer. "Who is that?" Aubrey shrugged just as confused as she watched Chloe hug the little girl then the two women.
"I have no idea." She said as Chloe was holding Kayden in one arm and dragging Beca by the hand in the other towards them. "But it looks like we're about to find out."
"Hey guys this is Beca." Gesturing towards her. "This is Beca's sister, Sarah. And this cute one is Kayden, Beca's niece. She just started Barden this year."
"Oh yeah you're in my chemistry class." Stacey stated recognizing the new girl.
"Yeah, Stacey right?"
"Yep, Stacey Conrad and this is my girlfriend, Aubrey Posen." She bumped Aubrey's shoulder. "It's so good to say that."
"Nice to meet you guys." She said shaking their hands. "Good luck on the game." Beca stated as the 3 minute buzzer went off (meaning the game will start in 3 minutes.) "Well we better get a seat." Chloe gave Kayden to Sarah and they left to get seats but Beca was pulled back by Chloe. "Hey one of my teammates are having a few girls over after the game, you want to come?"
"Um, I don't know…I rode with Sarah-"
"That's ok you can ride with me and I'll take you home after." Chloe smiled. Ok Beca couldn't resist that smile.
"Sure." Beca answered and Chloe squealed giving her another hug as the minute buzzer went off. "Ok go kick some ass and by the way I was totally right about the shorts, they're hot." Beca smiled backing away earning a playful smirk from Chloe.
"I know, I rolled them even higher just to tease you." Beca almost tripped hearing those words. "Try not to stare at my ass all night." She winked running to the huddle leaving Beca blushing and to indeed stare at her ass. Easier said than done.
The first game was the junior varsity so Aubrey, Stacey, and Chloe were all at the end of the bench with the other varsity players Lily, Fat Amy, and Denise. "So what's up with you and the new girl?" Stacey asked.
"Yeah, how do you know her? School just started this week and her niece acted like you were her best friend." Aubrey added.
"We met yesterday after she kicked Tom's ass for shoving me against the lockers."
"That's who busted his nose?" Stacey asked looking impressed and Chloe nodded. Even Aubrey looked pleased. Her first impression was that Beca was trouble, with ear spikes and the dark eyeliner, but maybe she was wrong. "We saw him last night when we were out and he was telling some bullshit story about running into a door." Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Figures. No, she totally kneed him in the nose after he pushed me. He even tried to hit her when she called him a douchebag." The other girls laughed.
"He is a douchebag." Stacey said.
"Then we got to talking and found out we have a lot in common." She paused to cheer for her team that just scored. "The charity dinner I went to last night was at her mom and step-dads. That's where I met Sarah and Kayden, they're both really sweet. So is Beca, she's amazing. She's coming with me to Amy's pool party later so you'll get to know her."
"She was at the dinner last night? She doesn't really look the type to go to one of those even if it was at her house." Chloe frowned at her and Aubrey quickly amended her statement. "No judging though."
Chloe rolled her eyes, "Right because you would never judge someone." She teased. "Well she wasn't originally going to go but she figured she would keep me company when I mentioned it after school. Then we went up to her room-"
"Ooh, you went up to her room?" Stacey teased making Chloe laughed.
"Not like that. We went to her room to watch a movie with her niece. We talked for like two hours and listened to music, it was nice." Chloe looked across the court into the stands at Beca and smiled.
"You into her aren't you?" Aubrey accused when she saw Chloe staring at Beca. Fortunately for Chloe the junior varsity just got match point for the game. Chloe jumped up to congratulate her other teammates before Aubrey could grab her. "We're so talking about this later!" Aubrey yelled teasingly to her back before following her to celebrate with the team.
The varsity game started with Barden winning the first match and the opposing team winning the second, forcing a third and final match. Beca enjoyed watching the game and even found herself cheering along with Sarah and Kayden. She especially enjoyed Chloe's tight shorts. And Beca swore Chloe was shaking her butt a little more than necessary when she got in her defensive stance. Chloe even threw a couple of smirking glances her way when doing so. Halfway through the third match it was tied 15-15 then Chloe received a perfect set from their setter and killed the ball making it land just inside the line. After that and a couple of bad serves from the opposing team they got on a roll. The Barden Lady Tigers finished it off with the final score 25-18.
The shook hands with the other team and gathered for their after game huddle. The crowd cheered as their home team made their way to the locker rooms which were located under the bleaches. Beca mouthed 'good game' and gave Chloe a thumbs up. "Wait for me here!" Chloe yelled before making her way down to the locker room.
Chloe came up about 10 minutes later dressed in sweats and a Barden High t-shirt. Beca had her back to her talking to Sarah when Chloe grabbed her from behind, throwing both arms around Beca's shoulders hugging her. "I'm so glad you guys came."
"Chlowee!"
"You were awesome Chloe." Beca said making no move to get out of the embrace.
"Yeah you played really well and that was a nice spike that last match. Really broke it open after that. You had some good in there blocks too." Sarah chimed in.
"Thanks." Chloe gave Sarah and Kayden a hug before the two left. "You have the nicest sister and cutest niece. I really like them." Chloe said picking up her duffle bag with one arm and linking the other with Beca.
"You're not just hanging out with me to get closer to them are you?"
"Ah, you found out my master plan." Chloe joked as they made their way to her blue 2012 Chevy Camero. Beca nodded her head approvingly when they reached the car.
"Nice! I didn't picture you driving a camero. I figured you for something more the cutsie. VW bug, or a mini cooper. Something like that." Beca said getting in the car. Chloe smiled starting it up.
"Something I got from my dad, he collects classic sports cars. Though I have to admit I totally had you pegged for a Jeep girl. But your truck totally suits you."
"Oh, I have a jeep too." Beca admitted looking out the window as they drove. "And maybe a new 2dr dodge challenger, total muscle car."
Chloe looked shocked, "Seriously?" Beca nodded.
"Yeah my mom bought me the truck when I turned 16, then my bio dad got me the jeep when I turned 17 thinking that was the way to come back into my life." She rolled her eyes. "And Nathan, my step-dad bought me the challenger when he moved us all out here. They're all just trying to buy my love instead of putting in the effort of actually earning it."
"I'm sorry Becs." Chloe reached across the console grabbing Beca's hand. "That sucks."
"It's ok really. I mean I have Sarah and Kayden. And I guess Jessie now too, I'm close with them and that's all I really want." Beca had said noticing Chloe wasn't legging go of her hand. "Plus I have 3 awesome vehicles." Chloe laughed.
"Well there's that." They drove the next few minutes in a comfortable silence just listening to music. "Ok so Amy has a sand volleyball court and you have to play. I can't wait to see what you got." She said pulling into Amy's driveway. Amy said the party would only be the varsity volleyball players and some of the girls that were on the softball team. So Chloe knew it would be ok if Beca was there.
"You're on Red." They got out and made their way to the back yard.
