The Shower Scene

"What have you done?" Chloe hears her aunt say as soon as she answers the call.

"Nothing. I just wanted to call and talk to my favorite aunt," Chloe says. She just wants to finish this homework.

"That's what you're gonna go with? You're not going to tell me why I had seven missed calls from you and messages to go along with each when I left interrogation?"

"There was a thing, but it's over now," Chloe tries to reassure her aunt. She's sure Jane isn't buying it. "It's fine."

"Well, if that's not a Maura sentence, I don't know what is. What happened?"

"It's over. It's fine," Chloe says. Her words aren't very convincing even to her, but she wants to put the situation out of her mind. Well, not all of it. Just the part where she freaked out afterward and repeatedly called her Aunt Jane. She would most definitely want to keep the cute brunette singing with her in her mind. It was amazing. And not just because Beca was crazy attractive, but damn Beca got exponentially sexier once her voice mixed perfectly with her own. Titanium was definitely her jam. It just kept getting better and better.

"God, sometimes you're just like Maura. Your messages went from freaked out to way too calm in the span of like five minutes. So, Chloe, just tell me what happened."

Chloe sighs and drops her pen onto her stack of papers. "Remember that girl I told you about from the Activities Fair?" Chloe leans against her headboard.

"Mermaid dancer?"

Chloe rolls her eyes at her aunt. "No. The other one."

"Oh, yes, I remember now. How could I ever forget the one you went on about for a week?" Jane says sarcastically. "You're still on her?"

"I saw her today."

"That's what all the messages were about? What happened? You seemed freaked out."

"Well, it was a bit of a shock and it kinda just happened and Tom was there —." She was interrupted by her aunt.

"Ugh Tom's still in the picture?"

"Tom's not that bad," Chloe defends.

"He's a bit of a tool."

"He's a good friend." Chloe says. Which he was, and they had fun together even if they were just hanging out. But her Aunt Jane definitely didn't need to know all the details of her and Tom's relationship. "But you're missing the point."

"Okay, sure, please continue"

"We sang together," Chloe blurts out breathlessly as she remembers her time with Beca. "And, Aunt Jane, her voice is so perfect and it definitely wasn't just the great acoustics of the bathroom. I mean as soon as I heard it —."

"Wait, what? The bathroom?" Jane questions sharply.

Chloe cringes at Jane's tone and knows she's made a mistake. She should have tried to censor herself a bit instead of just blurting everything out. So much for her aunt not knowing all the details of her and Tom's relationship. Maybe she can play this off somehow? After thinking for a moment, she knows there's no way that is possible. Her thoughts have made her silent too long for her aunt.

"Chloe."

"Yes?" Chloe tries innocently.

"Nope, that's not going to work. How in the hell did you end up in the bathroom with Tom and Beca?"

Chloe cringes. She knows that tone all too well. While she was generally a good kid growing up, there were definitely times where she incurred Jane Rizzoli's stern, deadly tone. And Chloe knows exactly the look that goes with it. Eyebrows tight, a show of her frustration, and lips sucked in, her attempt at reigning in her emotions. Chloe's seen that look. She knows it. She knows how tight her aunt's face can get.

She imagines it's something kinda close to the time she caught Chloe and Matthew Eckhert kissing on the couch two weeks before they both started high school. It was the first kiss for them both. Jane scared Matthew so badly that he hadn't talked to Chloe again until they were partnered together for a science project a month and a half after school started.

Chloe was just glad that her Uncle Frankie had decided to just drop Jane off and not come into the house along with her. As embarrassing and humiliated as she was when her Aunt Jane showed up, she knew that it would have been even worse if her aunt and uncle had been together.

Chloe and Matthew weren't the only ones who got a Rizzoli talking to. Maura was on the receiving end of a talk of her own once Chloe and Matthew were too afraid to even move away from the arm rests on opposite sides of the couch.

However, Jane's sharp talk with Maura about leaving two teenagers alone while she occupied herself in her yoga room quickly turned into Jane receiving a lecture from Maura about how children needed space to grow and that as a budding adult Chloe needed a bit of privacy. After all, she was only doing a twenty minute stretch and Chloe was definitely outspoken enough to squash unwanted advances and, thanks to Jane, was capable of taking matters into her own hands if she deemed necessary.

Remembering this, Chloe made a mental note to warn her mother about this conversation with her Aunt Jane. Chloe didn't know how this would end and was currently deeply regretting her choice of calling her aunt in a panic. But if anyone could set this right with just a few words, it was her mother.

"Chloe," Jane calls for her attention. "Are you going to answer me?"

"Can I say no?" Chloe tests. It's worth a try.

"No."

"Right." Chloe sighs. "Well, Tom and I were kinda… messing around in the showers at Baker Hall," Chloe starts.

"Oh god," Jane interjects with a groan.

"You wanted an answer, Aunt Jane."

"Ok, ok. Just skip ahead."

"But then I heard someone come into the showers, and they were singing."

"Beca?"

"Yeah, but I didn't know it was her. I just knew that whoever it was had an amazing voice and would be great for the Bellas."

"So you left Tom, put some clothes on, and waited for Beca to come out," Jane tried.

"No. It was more like left Tom, didn't put clothes on, and barged into Beca's shower."

Chloe heard her aunt groan. "Is this urge to be naked in public hereditary?"

"I wasn't in public and it's acceptable to be naked in the bathroom," Chloe quips.

"You're not going to be riding through campus naked on a horse anytime soon are you?"

"Mom was protesting budget cuts. That's a noble cause."

"She definitely could have found another way without being nude."

"Mom always says not to be ashamed of my body, and I'm not."

"Okay, you're right. So then you accosted the poor girl in the shower. Did she tell you if she was pressing your charges?"

"What?" Chloe squeals.

"You did barge into her shower, Chlo. And naked."

"She wouldn't do that." Chloe says. She's completely sure.

"I would. What you did was insane."

"You weren't there, Aunt Jane. Beca was definitely checking out and appreciating the goods," Chloe says with a confident smirk.

"Oh my god," Jane groans again. Chloe laughs at her aunt. It's always fun to make her uncomfortable.

But she knew she was right. She saw Beca's eyes drift a bit lower than her face a few times in the shower no matter how hard she tried to fight it. Beca had definitely checked her out. And Chloe was pretty sure Beca liked what she saw. Chloe definitely liked what she saw of Beca. Everything about the brunette girl so far was so damn attractive and sexy.

Jane interrupts Chloe's thoughts before they can go any further. "So how does this end if she doesn't press charges?"

"She auditions for the Bellas," Chloe says simply.

"You think she will?" Jane asks.

"I'm hoping."

Jane doesn't say anything for a few moments.

"Aunt Jane? You still there?" Chloe asks.

"Yeah. Just… just be careful, Chloe. See this Beca girl for who she is and not who you think she is because of your feelings. You don't really know her."

Chloe hears what her aunt is saying. Jane doesn't believe in whirlwind relationships, if that's even what will happen with Chloe and Beca. Jane believes that relationships are built on trust and genuinely knowing each other.

And Chloe subscribes to this thinking too, but she also thinks initial feelings and the pull you feel toward another person places a large role in relationships also, again, if that's where Chloe and Beca end up.

"I will, Aunt Jane."

"And of course, call me if you find yourself in jail," Jane jokes.

"You'll be my first call," Chloe says with a smile.

"Before your mom?"

"You'll probably be together, so I'll only need my one phone call."

Jane laughs. "True."

"I'm gonna get back to this homework," Chloe says.

"Okay. Go be a good student. And no more shower scenes."

"Okay." Chloe rolls her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, Chloe. I'm serious."

"Okay, Aunt Jane."

"Okay. Be careful. I love you."

"Love you too."

Chloe ends the call. She replays all of the day's events in her head. She clears her mind with a shake of her head. She needs to get Beca out of her mind again to get back into homework mode. Once that's settled, she pulls her stack of papers back toward herself, picks up her pen, and starts back on her assignment.

You've reached the end of this chapter! I hope you enjoyed this journey. Hopefully, I can give you guys another chapter quicker. But honestly I have no idea what the next scene is. I honestly don't remember lol. Is it the audition scene? Let me know!

What did you guys think of this one? What did you think of Jane? And Jane and Chloe? Of Chloe's recounting of how the shower scene happened? Whatever. Just let me know.

Thanks.
