Dreams Can Come True - Chapter 5
Senior prom is important to any senior out there, even if it's just a feeling way deep down. Much like Beca. You see, Beca's one of those people who would turn their nose up at any sort of large social gathering but this one actually meant something to her. This night marked a week before she left for LA straight after graduation meaning it was a week till she left Chloe. This night was important to her because she got to spend the whole night with her fiancée, telling her how much she loves her and how much she's going to miss her.
Evan greeted Beca and her father at his front door with a large smile on his face. "Look at you all dolled up." The redhead teased as he led the two into the living room. John had drove Beca to go pick up Chloe for prom mainly because he wanted to take a ton of pictures which of course made Beca roll her eyes. Jesse was going to drive Aubrey, Emily and Stacie to Chloe's house because that's where the limo was picking them up.
"Where's Chloe?" Beca asked, keeping an eye on her feet since she was wearing death trap heels as she walked over to take a seat on the couch. "Wait let me guess, she's still getting ready?" She laughed slightly with an eye roll.
"You know her too well kid." Evan chuckled as he walked out into the hallway to the bottom of the stairs. "Chloe!" He called up.
"What?!"
Beca and John looked up at the ceiling from the living room as they heard Chloe shout back.
"Beca's here!"
"Tell her I'll be down in 10 minutes!"
"10 minutes? What the fuck are you doing?!" Beca yelled which made her dad and Evan laugh.
"Shut up Beca!"
"I'm gonna go and get her to hurry up." Beca was just about to stand up when her dad stopped her.
"Uh Beca, Evan and I would actually like to talk to you without Chloe for a minute." He explained, clearing his throat as Evan closed the door behind him and sat on the other side of Beca on the couch.
The 18 year old furrowed her brow. "Uh what's going on?"
"Beca, your dad and I have been talking about you asking Chloe to marry you...We don't think it's such a good idea anymore." Evan began, placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Dad what the hell?!" Beca instantly whipped her head around to her father with her mouth agape. "You said you were okay with this! You told me to follow my heart."
"I know I did sweetheart but Evan and I have talked things over and we honestly don't think you and Chloe should do the long distance thing at all." He said this with a heavy heart because he knew how much she loved Chloe but he just wanted what was best for his daughter. As did Evan.
"You can't be serious." Both men could hear the devastation in the girl's voice and it broke their hearts. "Chloe and I made a promise to each other to stay committed to one another whilst we were at opposite sides of the country."
"We just don't want either of you getting hurt." Evan added and Beca flailed her arms around.
"What do you mean?"
"You will be away from each other from a very long time. You're both 18 year old girls who might end up having certain urges towards different people whilst being away from each other. What would happen if one of you slip up?" John explained further, resting his hand on his daughter's knee.
"I would never, ever cheat on Chloe." Beca said seriously, placing both hands on her heart.
"Beca we just want you to take this as a precaution. Just think about it, both of you will be extremely busy with college and work, it'll give you a chance to focus. If it's meant to be, Chloe and you will be together in the end." Evan continued.
"I'll never love anyone as much as I love her." Beca's eyes were beginning to tear up a little as she looked down at her hands in her lap. On some level the teenager knew that breaking things off with Chloe is probably for the best as much as it killed her inside.
"I know you won't honey, but don't think of it as breaking up, just maybe think of it as taking a little break from each other. Like Evan said, if you and Chloe are destined to be together, it'll all turn out in the end." John pulled Beca in for a hug before she could start crying, knowing how heartbroken she must feel. "Don't think about it tonight, just have fun with your friends and your girlfriend, okay?"
Beca sat up off of her dad and nodded.
"Beca!" Chloe called from upstairs and the three on the couch looked up at the ceiling. Chloe's room was right above the living room so you could literally hear anything.
"Yeah?!"
"I need your help!" The corners of Beca's mouth turned up slightly as she stood up, turning to look in the mirror to check if any of her makeup ran before going to see what her girlfriend was hollering about.
"What's wrong?-woah." Beca walked into Chloe's room but instantly stopped in her tracks as she caught sight of the said girl. The redhead was looking at the floor, her hand holding her curled hair to one side as her now 8 year old sister was seeming to have trouble trying to zip the dress up.
"Hey-wow." Chloe lifted her head and had a similar reaction to what Beca had when she saw her. "You look...so hot oh my god." She giggled, her eyes basically popping out of her head.
"I don't even have any words to describe how beautiful you look." Beca said quietly, looking Chloe up and down, chewing on her bottom lip. "You needed help? Hey Emily." The brunette finally came to her senses and walked behind Chloe to see what the shorter redhead was having trouble with.
"Her zip's stuck." The younger girl informed, pointing at it.
"Holy shit you're tall babe." Chloe laughed, her eyes following Beca as she walked past her before looking down at her own bare feet.
"You need to catch me if I fall. Hey I like being taller than you for once, don't wear heels." Beca joked as she tried to tug at Chloe's zip. Emily left the room, leaving her sister and her girlfriend alone.
"Jesus Beca how many inches are those?" Chloe couldn't help but laugh because she knew Beca was quite clumsy on her feet as it is.
"Uh, 5." The brunette chuckled finally being able to zip her girlfriend's dress up for her. Beca turned Chloe around and her hands instantly went to her hips. "You know if your house wasn't made of paper so nobody could hear anything we do, I'd totally take you right here right now. You look so fucking hot it's unreal." Beca's hands made their way around Chloe and pulled her into her, giving her a very passionate kiss.
"Well you'd be glad to know that my dad's going out of town tonight so Emily will be staying at my aunt and uncle's. So what do you say that after prom we just come back here?" Chloe said suggestively, running her hands up and down her girlfriend's arms.
"Sounds amazing." Beca winked and the doorbell rang. "I guess we better get downstairs."
The girls walked downstairs hand in hand, their fathers already at the foot of the stairs ushering Jesse, Aubrey, Stacie and Emily in.
"Wow." Jesse was the first to notice the couple come down the stairs. Jesse had been dressed and out the door before Beca even started getting ready earlier so this was his first time seeing her all ready. "You guys look...wow."
Beca and Chloe smiled widely at the others gaping at them once they finally reached the bottom of the stairs. (It takes Beca longer because she's so close to killing herself in those damn heels.)
"Everybody in the living room, we need photos." Evan laughed, ushering everyone into the said room.
"Wait I need my shoes, I can't have Beca being taller than me." Chloe said walking back out into the hall making everyone else laugh.
"Serious question before we start these pictures." Beca said turning to her friends whilst her dad and Evan got the camera ready. "Is it totally noticeable that my phone is in my bra?"
"Completely." Jesse was first to answer with a scoff.
"Yep." Aubrey said, nodding her head.
"Totally." Stacie added.
"It's quite distracting actually." Emily laughed.
"Ugh I don't have a purse with me. Hey Chlo?" Beca called on her girlfriend who was already walking back into the room.
"Yeah?"
"Are you taking a purse?" Beca asked, her fingers toying with one of her earrings.
Chloe grabbed her clutch off of the couch and walked right up to her girlfriend (who she was now taller than again) and pulled the girl's phone out her bra herself.
"Dude really?" Beca deadpanned.
"What?" Chloe asked innocently, slotting Beca's phone into her purse beside hers.
"I can't believe I'm going to senior prom when I'm not even a senior." Emily said excitedly and the seniors laughed. Little Emily then came into the room, wanting to see why everyone was having fun without her.
"Let's get a group photo first." John announced and the teenagers all huddled together.
"Wait." Beca and Chloe interrupted in unison before they swapped sides with each other so that Chloe was on Beca's right and Beca was on Chloe's left.
"What the hell was that?" Jesse asked with a laugh.
"We have designated sides." Chloe giggled. It was true, the girls were weird about which hand held what. Chloe's left hand always had to hold Beca's right and vice versa since Chloe's right handed and Beca's left.
"Weirdos." Stacie coughed before laughing.
"All of you shut up and smile." Evan laughed and the teenagers finally did what they were told. John snapped the picture before they all relaxed.
"We'll get the individual couples too. Beca and Chloe you girls can go first." John explained and Jesse, Aubrey, Stacie and Emily all sat down on the couch before little Emily began talking to them.
Chloe stood behind Beca (being the slightly taller one) and comfortably wrapped her arms around the shorter girl's waist.
"This is such a cliché prom picture." Beca scoffed, resting her hands on Chloe's.
"At least we'll have something to laugh about when we're an old married couple." Chloe giggled.
Beca smiled at the camera but was dying inside at what Chloe had just said. The conversation she just had with her dad and Evan came flooding back to her.
What Beca didn't know though, was that Chloe had heard every single word of the conversation that they had.
Prom was well underway and with every song that came on Chloe had dragged Beca onto the dance floor.
"Babe my feet hurt." Beca whined, allowing Chloe to take her right hand whilst her left looped around the redhead's neck nevertheless.
"Stop complaining, this is our night." Chloe's hand rested on the small of Beca's back and pulled the girl in close to her.
"Can it be our night over at the table?" Beca joked before resting her forehead against Chloe's as the pair swayed slowly to the music. "I love you."
"I love you too. I'm gonna miss you so much."
"Same." Beca pulled her head away and instead nuzzled into her girlfriend's neck. "Chloe can I ask you something?"
"Anything babe." The same thing had been playing on both girl's minds and that thing was 'is this really the end of their relationship?'
"Do you believe that if you love something, you should let it go?" Beca asked, resting her chin on Chloe's shoulder.
Chloe knew exactly what Beca was trying to say but in all honesty she just wanted to drop the topic. "I guess it depends on what you're talking about. Is there...anything...you want to tell me?"
"Oh no, no. I was just wondering…"
"I can't wait till after prom." Chloe quickly changed the subject and began softly kissing Beca's neck.
"Tell me what you're going to do to me." Beca lifted her head and whispered into her girlfriend's ear.
"I'm going to tease you so much that you'll be begging for me to touch you…" Chloe whispered sensually into the brunette's ear, her hot breath already driving Beca crazy. "You'll be a hot...wet writhing mess beneath me just...aching for my touch." Chloe emphasised 'wet', 'writhing' and 'aching' which only made Beca moan softly into her ear, already starting to feel heat spread around her centre.
Chloe kicked the door behind her, her lips still attached to Beca's and her hands still roaming the said girl's body. The couple had left prom a little earlier than their friends, claiming that they were 'tired'.
"Oh shit." Beca laughed as she stumbled backwards on her attempt to climb the stairs whilst still clung onto Chloe. Beca kicked off her heels and stood back up, pulling Chloe's face towards her by her neck.
Chloe giggled against Beca's lips as she took her on heels off, leaving them on the stairs whilst quickly scurrying up to the landing with her girlfriend. The redhead roughly pushed the brunette against the wall, attaching her lips to the girl's neck.
Beca moaned as Chloe's hand slipped underneath her dress and grazed over her underwear. "Oh my, oh my…" Chloe teased quietly into her girlfriend's ear.
"Shut up."
"I've not even touched you yet." Chloe laughed before quickly pulling Beca's underwear down her legs and the brunette kicked them to the side.
"Bedroom. Now." The brunette said breathlessly. And with that the two girls disappeared into the bedroom, hastily trying to undress each other.
Oh if only Chloe had checked her phone to find a text from her aunt.
[From: Aunt Zoe]
Em forgot to pick up her teddy bear and she won't go to sleep without it. I'll be round in 10 to pick it up, Matt's still at work so I'll be bringing her with me. :)
[Sent at: 21:02]
"Do you want to stay in the car or are you coming in? I don't know if your sister's here yet because she didn't reply to my text." Zoe checked her phone once again and still no reply from her eldest niece.
"I'll come in." Emily climbed out of the car shortly followed by her aunt.
"Your dad will kill me if he finds out I still had you up at this time." Zoe chuckled and Emily latched onto her hand just as she was unlocking the door.
"It can be our secret." Emily whispered with a giggle.
"Chloe!" Zoe called but there was no answer.
"She's home, her shoes are here." The 8 year old pointed at one of Chloe's heels on the stairs before finding the other one a couple of steps up.
"Oh." Zoe furrowed her brow and let go of her niece's hand and began climbing the stairs, Emily close behind her.
"Maybe she's asleep." The young girl suggested.
Zoe was too distracted by the fact that there was another pair of heels scattered on the stairs. "Hey Em, why don't you take a seat downstairs and I'll see what Chloe's up to." She knew exactly what her niece was up to as soon as she reached the top of the stairs and spotted a pair of underwear that had just been tossed to the side.
"Okay." Emily went back downstairs and disappeared into the living room.
She really didn't want to be the buzz kill of Chloe's night but the girl never answers her phone so you could maybe call it...payback.
"Chloe!" Zoe yelled louder and laughed quietly to herself when she heard two screams come from her niece's bedroom.
"What the fuck?" Chloe muttered quietly, her fingers still tangled in Beca's hair as the said girl lifted her head slightly from her previous task of going down on the redhead.
"Who was that?" Chloe was trying not to laugh because in her scream of terror she had pulled the cover over the top of them and Beca's was just literally a lump in the sheets.
"Hello?!" Chloe called out before she let out an uncontrollable moan as Beca's tongue went back to work for a second. "Beca!" Chloe hissed, giving the girl a slap to the side of her head, the brunette finding it hilarious.
"Are you decent Chloe?" The redhead's eyes widened and her face flushed as she instantly recognised the voice.
"Beca get up." Chloe whispered and the brunette, shimmied up the bed so her head was now above the covers, her hair going in all directions. "Uh I guess!" She called back out feeling totally embarrassed.
"Maybe if you answered your phone now and again, I wouldn't have caught you in this-." Zoe chuckled, slowly opening the door. "Hi Beca."
"Hey." Beca's cheeks were also flushed red, her eyes darting in every direction apart from her girlfriend's aunt.
"I'm all ready to die in a hole aunt Zoe can you please not do this?" Chloe covered her face with her hands and groaned.
"I just came to pick up Emily's teddy because she won't fall asleep." She explained. "I'll quickly be on my way, remember and tidy up before your dad gets home though." Zoe winked before closing the door behind her.
"Did that really just happen?" Beca couldn't help but burst out in laughter.
"It's not funny Beca! That was so embarrassing, she's my aunt." Chloe kicked Beca underneath the covers.
"She's right y'know." Beca smirked, rolling onto Chloe, straddling her waist.
"What?" Chloe furrowed her brow as Beca pinned her wrists to the pillow on either side of her head.
"You never answer your fucking phone at the best of times." Beca leaned down and connected their lips.
"I do so!" Chloe protested into the kiss. "Only when it's you though." She charmed with a wink.
"Good to know babe." The brunette laughed, shimmying back down the bed to return to the job she had started before they were interrupted.
So there's a slight tension between the girls.
Do you think they'll break it off with each other?
