Chapter 13
Beca's POV
I have been stacking CDs for about 15 minutes when Jesse comes in.
"Becaw! What's up? I haven't seen you in ages. Seriously, where have you been?"
"Well, if you must know, I have been very busy with life."
"By life do you mean Chloe?" Jesse asks with a smirk.
"No! I mean working here, Bellas practices, rebuilding my relationship with Aubrey and actually having to go to classes."
"So you haven't made a move on Chloe yet? What are you waiting for?"
"Well first I need to talk with Aubrey about it and then I need to come out to my dad." I mumble the last part in hopes that he'll not hear it and not make me talk about it.
"Wait a minute… you're going to come out to your dad?" Jesse looks genuinely surprised. "What made you decide to do that? When are you going to do it?" He asks seriously.
"Well I figured if I'm going to be out to everyone here, and my dad works here, I need to tell him before he finds out from someone else. Also if by some miracle Chloe feels the same way about me and we start dating I need to be out to my dad so I don't need to be paranoid that he will catch us together. I think I'm going to try and tell him sometime this week at dinner."
"That's probably a good idea. Also Chloe would be crazy to not want to date you." Jesse gives me a small smile. "So how do you think your dad's going to react?"
"I honestly don't know and that's why I'm so nervous to tell him. As much as I'm upset with him still about the step monster, I don't want him to disown me. I mean he's never been the best dad to me and I never thought he liked me. Aubrey was always his favorite. I have no idea what his thoughts are on gay people. I never did the thing that other people do where they casually bring up gay rights issues to see their reactions. I was too afraid he'd figure it out and we'd never been the type to have heart to hearts. I don't want to talk about this anymore, what's up with you?"
"Really nothing. I've been thinking about asking Sarah out. I've been really busy with my classes and the trebles though, so we'll see."
The rest of our shift was spent stacking the rest of the three boxes of CDs and talking about random things that happened. We ended up deciding to go to the cafeteria for dinner to finish catching up. After that we went back to our dorm. I turn my phone back on to see if Aubrey responded to my text, she did. I also notice that I have a couple texts from Chloe. I make sure to respond to Aubrey first.
Beca: I've decided that I'm going to come out to dad. Will you please come with me when I go. Maybe we can go over for dinner one night this week.
Aubrey: I'm so proud of you Beca! This week won't work well for me though. Would you be able to wait until next tuesday? I really do want to be there for you. Let me know!
Beca: That's fine. I'll text dad later to find out if that works and I'll let you know.
I write on a post it note to text my dad later to ask about dinner in a week. I then go see what the messages from Chloe say.
Chloe: Hey Becs! You did great at practice today! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later?
Chloe: Aubrey just told me that you are planning on coming out to your dad. That's a big step, I'm proud of you! If you want to talk about it I'm here for you.
Beca: Hey Chlo! Just got back from dinner with Jesse. I had my phone off. Looks like Kimmy Jin is out for the night, so do you wanna come over? You can spend the night if you want.
The response was almost instant. I should've expected it since Chloe is always on her phone.
Chloe: I'd love to Becs! Can't wait to cuddle with you (you did this to yourself)! See you in a few minutes!
I quickly go shower and change my clothes because I know it takes at least 15 minutes for her to get here from her apartment. Sure enough I hear a knock on my door a couple minutes after I get back. I open it to reveal a smiling Chloe. She immediately pulls me into a hug.
After about a minute Chloe releases me then goes to sit on my bed and taps the spot next to her for me to join her. I walk over and sit down next to her.
"So you're going to come out to your dad…" Chloe asks, breaking the silence.
"Yeah. You know he works here and I've been coming out to other people and eventually I want to have a girlfriend and I want to be able to hold her hand and stuff in public without fear of him catching us and finding out that way." I quickly say. I can feel myself blushing.
"Did badass Beca Mitchell just talk about wanting to hold hands in public" Chloe puts her hand to her chest and pretends to act shocked.
"I know, I know it's so out of character. It's just, there's this girl that I have feelings for and it's important for me to come out to him so I can do those things with her. As much as I love being a badass and acting all stand-offish, it's really exhausting. It's been getting kind of lonely, and I kinda like letting people get to know me again. If you ever tell anyone, especially Aubrey that I said that I will hurt you."
Chloe crosses her finger over her heart "I cross my heart. You know I like that you're so open with me Becs. I really love hanging out with you. You're a great person and I think other people would feel the same way as me if you let them in too."
"Thanks Chlo, I just hope my dad feels the same way."
"He'd be crazy not to." Chloe pulls me into another hug.
"Alright as much as I love having heart to hearts and all of this physical contact I'd rather we do something else."
"Ohh can we please watch a movie!"
"Fine, I'll watch a movie, but only for you. You also are forbidden from telling anyone that I watched a movie with you willingly."
I grabbed my laptop off of my desk and set it up between Chloe and I on the bed. I pulled up Netflix so that Chloe could pick out a movie.
"If you hate movies so much why do you have a netflix account?" Chloe asked.
"Well if you've ever used netflix before, you would know that they have more than just movies on there. Believe it or not I actually like tv shows."
"Oh I can see. I didn't take you for a Glee fan, oh and Wynonna Earp! I love that show. Now Shameless I would expect from you."
"Shut up you don't get to judge my choices in tv shows. I only watched Glee for the Santanna storyline, which helped me a lot. Wynonna Earp is just a great show that just so happens to have Wayhaught and a lot of violence. Now pick a movie already before I change my mind."
"You know you're really cute when you get all flustered. I'm not judging your taste in tv shows, they just weren't what I was expecting from you. I honestly didn't expect that you would like watching tv. Alright we're watching Clueless. It is a classic and I'm expecting you to watch the whole movie."
Chloe puts the movie on and I'm already regretting agreeing to watch a movie with her. Especially letting her choose the movie. I find myself watching Chloe more than the movie. Seeing her smile and laugh at different parts of the movie was more entertaining. Every once and awhile I watched as she silently mouthed the words to the movie.
"Did you like the movie? It's one of my favorites!" Chloe asked as soon as the movie ended.
"It wasn't horrible although why did she end up with her brother? Like that's pretty gross dude."
"He wasn't her actual brother, plus they were a cute couple."
"Either way I still think it was gross and I do not support them as a couple. I think that we should probably get some sleep now. You're lucky I was able to stay awake through the whole movie."
I got up and went into my closet to change into some pajamas while Chloe changed into the pajamas she brought in my room. When I was finished getting changed I walked back into the room to see Chloe laying in my bed waiting for me. I suddenly felt really nervous. I crawled into the bed next to her.
"You know Becs, I think you secretly like cuddling." Chloe whispered. Before I could try and object she continued. "If you didn't you wouldn't have let me spend the night here. Also you didn't even pretend to be annoyed when you got into bed just now. Don't worry though, I won't tell anyone about this either, it will be our little secret. Good night Becs." She then kissed my cheek. I had to fight every urge in my body to not bring my hand up to touch the spot where her lips touched.
"Good night Chlo" I manage to whisper back.
