The next day Chloe went over to Aubrey's to hang out for the day. They were lying outside by the pool since it was still pretty warm this time of year in Georgia. Aubrey was currently trying to talk about their upcoming volleyball tournament that was starting the next day but somehow every other sentence that came out of Chloe's mouth ended up being about Beca.
"So this is the first time ever that we've started off undefeated going into this tournament." Aubrey said as she floated around.
"Yeah. I think we may have a shot at winning the conference this year, if we keep it up. Hey do you think the softball girls will make it to all of our games this week?" Chloe asked causing Aubrey to roll her eyes behind her sunglasses.
"Yes, I'm sure Beca will make it to see you shake your ass at her." Aubrey deadpanned and Chloe huffed getting off her floaty and swimming over to her.
"It's not about that, I just play better when she's there. She gives me this…confidence that I've never really had before. I like it when I hear her cheering above everyone else." Aubrey slid off her floaty sinking into the water cooling off. When she came up they faced each other both resting their arms and heads on the mattress in between them.
"You know you're a great player right."
"I know and maybe I'm not explaining this correctly. I mean I've always been confident in my abilities, it's just having her there-"
"Makes you happy?"
"Yes! It just gives me an extra boost of energy. The shaking my ass thing is just something I like to tease her with."
"I'm happy for you Chlo. And I have to admit the midget treats you right. I know I had my reservations at first." Aubrey smiled guiltily. "I may have judged her a little bit."
"No!" Chloe said sarcastically making them both laugh.
"Shut up!" Aubrey splashed her with water.
Beca was sitting on the couch currently watching You're Next. That was the deal she made with Jessie for him helping her out last night. A full day of moviecation, as he called it, without interruption. No phones, no internet, just the two of them…since 9am. She looked at the clock. Shit, it's only 2:30, shoot me now. She turned her attention back to the TV but she was seriously getting creeped out. Luckily the movie was almost over. She would never admit it but horror was her least favorite genre. She had already suffered through The Conjuring and Magic Mike. Ugh what an awful movie. Plus freaking Jessie swooning every time some guy took off his clothes. Disgusting.
Thankfully a few minutes later the credits were rolling and she was able to stop her inner monologue. "So what'd you think?" Jessie asked getting up and taking out the Blu-ray.
"Certainly better than Magic Mike. I mean I thought you were supposed to be educating me in the wonderful world of movies!" (Jessie's words) "What category does that fit into?" Jessie shrugged off her comment before smirking.
"Hot, sweaty, and sticky!"
"Gross." Beca grimaced and Jessie was quite proud of himself. "Ok I'm going to try and scrub that from my brain now." She stood up. "Want any snacks?" She asked making her way to the kitchen.
"Popcorn!"
"Of course." She mumbled. She grabbed a water out of the fridge then a bag of popcorn out of the pantry and popped it into the microwave. While she waited she retrieved her phone out of her pocket sending out a text to her favorite redhead.
Hey.
*Hey, yourself. What are you doing? xoxo* She received a minute later.
Watching movies with Jessie…all day long! :(
*Why?*
That was the price for him helping me out last night with the drive-in.
*Aww, so you're torturing yourself all day for giving me the perfect date. That's so sweet!*
Since 9am. But you're worth it. ;)
*What did I do to deserve you? I'm so lucky.* Jessie yelled at the sound of the microwave going off.
"Hey get in here with my popcorn! Time for Batman Begins." Beca huffed as she quickly typed a text to Chloe.
Trust me I'm the lucky one. Sorry but now I have to go, the movie dictator is demanding his popcorn. Have fun with Aubrey. Miss you. She sent before grabbing the popcorn, some candy, and her drink before going back to the living room. At least now she was in a bit of a better mood, plus she liked Batman so hopefully the next few hours will go by faster than expected.
Chloe was now sitting on Aubrey's couch with her feet on the coffee table as she read the last message. She sent out that she missed her too but she knew that Beca probably wouldn't be able to read it until the next movie was over. Beca had told her all about Jessie's moviecations.
While waiting for Aubrey her mind went back to the night before. It was definitely the perfect date in Chloe's opinion. She had never been this happy before. Not even close.
"Hey, you look deep in thought." Aubrey commented sitting down besides her handing her a slice of pizza that they just had delivered.
"Thanks, and not really just thinking." Taking a bite of her pizza.
"Let me guess. About Beca?" She teased and Chloe threw a mushroom at her.
"I can't help it ok." The both smiled.
"I'm happy for you, Chlo. So tell me about the date."
"Finally! I've only tried talking about it the entire day. You kept cutting me off and changing the subject!" She yelled making Aubrey laugh.
"I know I just wanted to see if you'd combust from the excitement that is radiating off you."
"Ugh! You're a jerk!" Chloe set her plate down and turned towards her best friend on the couch. "It was perfect Brey!" Chloe swooned. "She took me to Bambino's, you know that place is my favorite." Aubrey nodded. She proceeded to relay all details of the date. Aubrey had never seen her friend so happy before, like ever. She knew that Chloe had been through a lot the past few years and was so glad that her friend finally found someone that treated her like she deserved to be. While Chloe smiled gleefully in memory Aubrey asked.
"So how did she get them to play a movie at the old drive-in?"
"Jessie used to work there apparently and is still in good with the guy who owns it." Chloe answered. "Aubrey she had all of my favorite snacks in a picnic basket. We watched the Little Mermaid, my all time-favorite movie. I don't even know how she knew all of that. It was perfect!" She said again.
"She asked me those things the other night. I knew what she had planned and I knew you would love it."
"You knew and didn't tell me anything!"
"She wanted it to be a surprise!" Aubrey defended herself. "You know you wouldn't want to have known anyway."
"I know." Chloe sighed thoughtfully. "Brey I've never felt this way before." Chloe smiled. "We've clicked from the moment we first met. We can stay up all night talking and never be bored. She's so smart and talented and funny. She makes her own mixes that are awesome." Beca finally let Chloe hear some of her stuff. "And don't even get me started on how she makes my lady parts feel." Chloe donned a pervy smile.
"Gross, Chlo I don't want to know that."
"I'm just sayin', I've needed some serious alone time with my lady jams after our make-out sessions." Chloe admitted.
"Oh my God stop talking!" Aubrey covered her ears. "I do not want to listen to you talking about your lady jams." Chloe laughed and took the blonde's hands down.
"Like you don't tell me about all the things that you and Stacey do."
"I don't tell you about my lady jams!" Chloe grinned.
"So you admit you do have lady jams." This had been a thing. Aubrey had adamantly refused that she had any lady jams when she and Chloe talked about it.
"No! That is not what I said." Aubrey turned trying to hide her blush but Chloe caught it.
"Mmhm. I'll just pretend you're not over there blushing. But I'll let it go…for now."
"Whatever." Aubrey rolled her eyes. "So have you talked Beca into joining the Bellas yet?" She asked changing the subject. Chloe had told Aubrey how an amazing singer she was.
"Not yet but she's coming to the riff-off." The door bell rang just then.
"I bet that's Stacey." Aubrey got up going to the door with Chloe following.
"Oooh, I can't wait to tell her about my date!" She clapped.
"Jessie, please! Can we take just a small break!?" Beca yelled as she flopped sideways on the couch. After five movies, she was ready to kill him.
"We agreed on an all-day moviecation Beca."
"I just need a thirty minute break. We've watched five movies already! We can watch the Dark Knight Rises after, I just need a break." Beca begged making Jessie huff.
"Fine! But no longer than thirty minutes! I'll order us some Chinese food."
"Thank God." She got up off the couch and went outside. Not that she was an outdoorsy person but she needed some fresh air. She got her phone out of her pocket as she sat down on the porch steps. She smiled when she saw Chloe's message from earlier.
*Miss you too baby. Try to have fun with Jessie.* Aww she called me baby. She sent a text back.
Sooo I always want to take you on awesome dates…but I swear this is the last time I ask Jessie for help.
*As much as I loved last night, you know you don't have to go all crazy for our dates.*
I know, but I like seeing your eyes light up like Christmas morning.
*You are incredible. And Aubrey says you need to stop making her look bad. lol*
?
*Sorry, Brey's getting in trouble right now b/c she's never done anything as awesome as you did for me last night.* Beca laughed she could imagine Stacey giving Aubrey a hard time.
Lol. Tell Brey she needs to man up.
Chloe laughed as she read the text message out loud as Aubrey was being straddled on the ground by Stacey who was tickling her. Stacey had tackled her and started playfully accusing her girlfriend of not being sweet enough. "Tell the hobbit to shut her mouth!" She looked at her girlfriend who was still sitting on her but no longer tickling her. "You really don't think I'm sweet enough?" She asked quietly really starting to feel that she may not treat Stacey like she should. Stacey automatically cupped her face pulling her into a sitting position.
"What? Baby no, I'm just teasing you." She was quick to reassure her and went to kiss her. "You are amazing, I don't want you to ever think differently. I love you. You do sweet things for me all the time. Like when you brought me flowers when I bombed that test last week just so I would feel better. Or when you sing to me when I'm having trouble falling asleep. Or when you give your special back rubs when I'm stressed." Stacey kissed her softly again. "I could go on and on." Aubrey smiled feeling relieved.
"You two are so cute." Chloe said from the couch smiling at them. Stacey stood then helped Aubrey up before going over to the couch.
Stacey smiled. "We know. Speaking of cute, you and Beca are adorable." Chloe beamed. "So you two are official now right?" Chloe nodded.
"She may be the most incredible person I've ever met."
"You like, really like her don't you?" Aubrey asked and Chloe was silent for a minute lost in thought before looking directly in Aubrey's eyes.
"I think I'm falling in love with her." She admitted quietly.
