"Cynthia Rose wasn't lying when she said Beca was good. She's freaking awesome!" Chloe told the rest of the girls after Beca just made a diving catch at short stop ending the top of the third inning.
"Yeah short stack can really play."Amy said then cheered when Jessica came up to bat. "Come Jess hit it into Neverland!" She yelled, which is what they called left field. Since there was no fence if you got it over the left fielder's head it was pretty much considered a home run. And that was because the ball never stopped rolling because of a steady decline down a large hill. Yeah it was really a piece of shit field. Neither team had scored yet going into the bottom of the third. Jessica was able to hit a blooper over the second basemen's head and reached first base. The next batter struck out which brought Beca up to the plate who walked the first time up.
"Come on Becs!" Chloe cheered as Beca walked up to the plate. Beca gave her a smile before stepping in the box. The count got to 3 balls, 1 strike as the pitcher delivered the next pitch. Beca dug her back cleat in the dirt swinging through the pitch sending it into the outfield and over the centerfield fence. Chloe and girls jumped in the stands screaming as Beca rounded all of the bases. She was swarmed by her teammates as she jumped on home plate.
"You were awesome!" Chloe almost tackled Beca as the girls came of the dugout. The first game ended with them winning 5-2 and now they had a 30 minute break before the next game. The other girls congratulated her as well.
"Hey I need to run to my truck real quick. You guys can come with if you want." Beca suggested Chloe of course started walking with her. As did Amy but she was grabbed back by Aubrey.
"That's alright you guys go, we're just going to hang out here." Aubrey said and let them leave.
"But Brey I was gonna get another corndog at the concession stand." Which was located by the parking lot.
"Forget the corndog Amy." Aubrey gestured towards the two as Beca just grabbed Chloe's hand walking towards the truck. It dawned on Amy why she was pulled back.
"Oh, you wanted them to spend time alone. Got it."
"Why are we going to your truck?"
"Cause you're shivering and I have a sweatshirt in it."
"You noticed that?" Beca nodded. Chloe hadn't expected the temperature to drop and had been rubbing her arms during the game to keep warm. "You played really well."
Beca smiled. "Maybe it was the good luck kiss." She said as she grabbed Chloe's hand. It kind of took Chloe by surprise, it was the first time that Beca initiated contact between them. "Is this ok?" Beca suddenly sounded unsure when she noticed Chloe's reaction.
But Chloe just smiled and leaned closer. "Absolutely." Her other hand going across her body and latching onto Beca's arm that were between them. "We're still going to Benji's party tonight right? I'm riding with you?"
"Who's Benji again?"
"He's like the richest kid in school. His dad owns like half of Atlanta. But he's actually really nice and a total acapella nerd too. But his brother Bumper is a complete asshole. He's on the football team so…"
"Douchebag will be there." Beca guessed for her. She unlocked her truck and Chloe let down the tailgate sitting on it. Beca handed over her sweatshirt to Chloe. It said Sheldon softball on the front and Mitchell with the number 25 on the back.
"This is your old high school's sweatshirt." Chloe said putting it on, she felt special wearing Beca's name and number. She smiled, smells like you. "And yes Tom will be there but no worries, we'll still have fun."
"Come to my house after the game and we can go from there." After a few minute Beca hopped off the tailgate. "We better get going, I'm pitching this game so I need to warm up." She held out her hand to help Chloe down.
"Thanks for the sweatshirt." They walked hand in hand back to the field.
The next game wasn't even close with Beca pitching. They won 6-0 with Beca only allowing one hit. Their friends once again congratulated the softball girls and promised to meet up at the party later. As they talked about earlier Chloe followed Beca to her house and Chloe played with Mo as Beca showered. Beca caught Chloe's attention as she walked out of the bathroom in a towel.
"You wearing that to the party?" Chloe teased not being able to take her eyes away as Beca made her way to the walk in closet.
"Yeah, you know that way there's no chance of someone wearing the same shirt. Cause that would just be embarrassing." She answered making Chloe laugh. It was something she realized she did a lot when Beca was around. Beca came out dressed and hair up in a ponytail ready to go a few minutes later.
"You look nice." Chloe said standing up.
"I'm wearing cargo shorts and a polo." Beca answered confused looking down at herself.
Chloe stopped in front of her. "Yeah. Which is nice." She whispered putting her arms around Beca's neck moving her closer.
"You're still wearing my sweatshirt." Beca's hands touched the sides of the redhead's waist.
"Yeah." Their lips were inches from each other. Chloe closed her eyes as Beca inched towards her.
It's going down, I'm yelling timber
You better move, you better dance
Let's make a night you won't remember
I'll be the one you won't forget
They jumped a part as Chloe phone rang and she went to the bed to get it. Beca smiled. "Your ringtone is Timber?"
"It's catchy and I like it." She picked up the phone. "Hello…hey Aubrey…yeah we're getting ready to leave…no…" She looked at Beca who was holding up two different flip flops. "Because you interrupted us." Chloe wasn't sounded too happy, she pointed to the brown leather one. "Yes…ok see you there." She hung up the phone. "You ready to go?"
"Yep." They walked out of the house and Chloe headed towards the truck. Beca grabbed her hand pulling her in a different direction. "How about the challenger tonight?" Chloe smiled as the garage door opened revealing the white sports car with a blue racing stripe. "I guess it's not all bad having people buy your love with cars. Especially when you need to impress a girl." Chloe grabbed Beca's hand after getting in and started it up.
"You don't need to impress me."
"But it doesn't hurt right?" Chloe leaned over kissing Beca's cheek and smiled.
"Just shut up and drive."
"Yes ma'am." She said peeling out of the drive.
