I don't know if you guys liked last chapter, there was so little feedback ): but we have all Bechloe in this chapter!
Beca stopped Chloe before they left the hotel, right when they were about to catch a cab to the restaurant.
"Wait." She said.
"What?" Chloe asked, worried something was wrong with her wife.
"I thought we could.. like maybe… act like we're going on our first date all over again." Beca said and managed a small smile at the end of the sentence, tugging at her wife's hand.
Chloe laughed softly.
"Beca, that would be incredible but we're married for God's sakes, we have two amazing daughters, I know every inch and ounce of you." Chloe said.
Beca smiled at her wife.
"But can we act like a couple of teenagers?" Beca asked.
Chloe rolled her eyes and giggled at her wife.
"Well, you still make me feel like a teenager. Every single day, Beca Mitchell." Chloe said.
"Beale-Mitchell." Beca corrected her.
"We still are a couple of teenagers. Like… in every way possible." Chloe said with a smile. "I mean, damn it!, you're 25!"
"I'm 25…" Beca said, thinking about it.
"You know what I mean?" Chloe asked.
Beca smiled.
"I do. I just thought it'd be fun." Beca said.
"Let's do this: for this night, we'll forget we're married, forget the girls ‒ for this night!" Chloe emphasized when she saw her wife was about to protest. "For a few hours."
Beca relaxed. She knew what Chloe meant, she didn't mean it in a mean way, she meant let themselves think about them as a couple and as a couple only for the first time in years. They hadn't had time for just the two of them in such a long time, I mean at least 6 years!
Beca then led Chloe to the cabs and to the restaurant, to their table.
"Wow! Beca, you shouldn't have done that!" Chloe said as she took everything in.
"I know, but I wanted to. For my special girl." Beca smiled as the waiter approached.
Chloe smiled as she ordered a glass of red wine, while Beca ordered white, feeling so relieved she could actually drink alcohol. It would get so hard to drink so much as a glass of wine over the week because of two little girls.
"This is amazing, Beca." Chloe finally said once the waiter was gone to get their drinks.
Beca smiled and reached for the redhead's hand, resting both their hands on the table. Beca ran her thumb over Chloe's knuckles lovingly.
"I love you." Beca said and her voice showed so much love, passion, trust that it felt like her and Chloe had been married for over a decade, when in fact, it had only been a little over 3 years.
"I love you too." Chloe said with a smile.
Beca shut her eyes and giggled, looking down at the table and shaking her head.
"What?" Chloe chuckled too.
"Nothing, I just can't believe after 6 years of us being together I fall more and more in love with you every single day. And I can't ‒ still can't ‒ believe you stayed." Beca said.
Chloe's puzzled look told Beca she needed to elaborate, so the brunette sucked in a breath with a chuckle.
"I know I have thanked you over the years but really.. thank you for loving me, embracing me and embracing Charlotte when you knew about her. You could have ran away, you could've gone for someone who didn't have a kid. But you didn't. You stayed. And you took Charlotte in as your own, you took me in and made me feel safe for the first time in a very long time. So thank you, Chloe. For loving me. And for giving me the family of my dreams."
Both were in tears by the end of Beca's speech. Chloe got out of her chair, knelt down in front of her wife, grabbed her face and kissed her passionately. She wanted to translate just how much she loved her and would still love her for the time Beca allowed.
As much as Chloe wanted to kiss her forever, she remembered they were in public, so she pulled away with a final sweet kiss to her wife's lips and a look that promised they would continue at their hotel room. Because yes, they still were a couple of teenagers at heart. And at other places too.
oO0Oo
Beca had their day all planned out the next day, they were gonna go hiking, swimming in a lake near the hotel. She woke up at 7:30, got dressed, brushed her teeth and when she left the bathroom her wife was already up and getting ready.
8:30 was when they left the hotel for their hike. Beca grabbed and packed one backpack with a blanket, food and beverages ‒ including endless bottles of water, and another backpack with new change of clothes, towels, first aid kits and cell phone portable chargers because this was supposed to be an all day activity.
Chloe was staring to get tired, they'd been walking ‒ meaning climbing, going up hills that seemed to get taller and taller ‒ for over 3 hours with quick stops. Beca said they should get at this particular spot at around noon and it was past 11:30 so, in Beca's words, they "needed to get the aca-hell going".
It felt like the aca-Gods finally heard Chloe and her wife announced they'd arrived. Chloe was dragging her feet behind her wife, who seemed to have a newfound energy. Beca was standing with hands on her hips as she admired the view. Chloe climbed up the rest of the hill and her breath was immediately taken away when she saw how beautiful it was up there. They were apparently, at the top of the hill, but it wasn't very high, so they had a small view of the ocean, and there was a small lake up there. While there was clearly the rest of the track that led even higher, Beca knew neither herself nor her wife could walk more.
Beca placed her backpack down and took out the blanket, the containers of food and the bottles of juice and water.
"Hey, no wine?" Chloe pouted as she sat down on the blanket with her wife.
"Dude, we need to get down this hill and I don't think a whole bottle of wine will make it any easier." Beca said and, when Chloe thought about it, it made sense.
"Hey, can we get drunk tonight?" Chloe asked randomly as she grabbed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich her wife offered her.
Beca froze and had to take a second to realize her wife actually said that.
"Oh you're serious." Beca said, more to herself than to Chloe.
"Yeah! I mean, life has gotten so busy with the kids we never have the opportunity to get drunk anymore! Hell we barely drink alcohol!" Chloe said.
"But.. but.." Beca could swear she had a good answer, a good justification as to why they couldn't get drunk that night. She really did, on the tip of her tongue. Now that she stopped to think about it, she really didn't have any answer.
"It's decided, we'll go out to a bar and drink and then we'll drink some more at the hotel and, who knows, maybe we can take care of a few boo boos." Chloe threw a wink at her wife, which made her laugh.
"Dude you had to throw in the 'boo boo' part!" Beca said, laughing.
"Think about it, Beca: we can get super drunk tonight, no commitments tomorrow morning, no kids to interrupt us! We can finally get wasted again, have sex on top of the covers because being under them sucks and we don't have to worry about it! We don't have to worry about being caught!" Chloe said. "We're on our second honeymoon, let's enjoy it to the fullest because we're not 50 yet, we can still have fun old style."
Beca suddenly smiled and nodded, clinking her plastic cup to her wife's.
"To being forever young." she said and Chloe cheered.
"To getting drunk again!" Chloe added and Beca laughed.
"And to having sex on top of the covers instead of under them because it sucks!" Beca said in one breath in the same tone and Chloe cheered louder.
Beca laughed and pulled Chloe in for a kiss. She loved that woman and that she could make her feel like she could conquer the world.
When they pulled back, catching their breaths and staring at each other, they took a second to look around.
"Think you wanna do it in the woods?" Chloe asked.
"I think you just read my mind, Beale." Beca said before reconnecting their lips.
"Beale-Mitchell!" Chloe corrected, using Beca's words against her, mumbling against her wife's lips as the other laughed and kept kissing her, trying to shush her while they both laughed.
oO0Oo
They slept until 10 am the next day, which was the latest they've slept in a while. Chloe suggested going to the beach, to which Beca agreed.
This time, Beca laid in the sun for 30 minutes ‒ 15 minutes on each side ‒ and they went for a swim to cool off, then they went to a restaurant near, which didn't require them to shower, so they just put on their dresses and ate on the balcony with a view to the ocean and the beach.
"Oh! I have to tell you something that is pretty exciting." Beca said as she put her juice down.
"Yeah? What?" Chloe asked with a smile.
"Okay so before my tour all the guys from the studio are going to have a party ‒ which will be an all day event ‒ and they invited us. The whole family." Beca said.
"That's really exciting!" Chloe said.
"Wait, that's not the best part." Beca said.
"What is the best part?" Chloe asked, surprised there was more.
"I was hired to produce the next album of the famous Katy Perry!" Beca said. "And she's gonna be there too!"
"Oh my God!" Chloe said.
"Yeah!" Beca said. "Oh, the girls are invited."
"That's awesome!" Chloe said. "So we're gonna meet Katy Perry?"
"Yeah! Well, I've met her before but only briefly." Beca said.
"That's so cool. I can't believe I'm gonna meet Katy Perry!" Chloe said.
"Sia is gonna sing a song with Katy for the album but Sia won't be there." Beca said.
"That's too bad." Chloe said.
"Yeah." Beca said. "We're gonna start with that song because it's gonna be the first one to come out."
"I can't wait to hear it." Chloe winked at her and sipped her pineapple juice.
Beca smiled and checked the time.
"Oh! We should get going, I booked us a couple hours in a Spa!" Beca said, standing up.
"You did?" Chloe asked, smiling widely.
"Yeah." Beca said. "It's supposed to be relaxing and romantic."
"I like the sound of that." Chloe said, following her wife out.
Beca smiled.
"I knew you would." she said.
oO0Oo
Chloe finished brushing her teeth that night and joined her wife on the bed. She snuggled close to her and Beca wrapped her arms around her with a heavy sigh.
"What's wrong?" Chloe asked immediately.
"How do you know something's wrong?" Beca asked.
"Beca, I've known you for over 6 years." Chloe said. "I can tell when you're upset. Now what is it?"
"I was just… thinking about Charlotte." Beca said with another sigh.
"What about Charlotte?" Chloe asked.
"Well.. I know it's probably weird but.. sometimes I worry about.. about her sexuality.." Beca screwed up her face, thinking this wasn't how she was supposed to start.
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"Well you know, she's obsessed with boobs, with my boobs, she thinks boy parts are gross, she… I don't know, I just.." Beca sighed in frustration and ran her fingers through her hair. "Do you think she's gonna grow up to be a lesbian?"
Chloe sat up to look at her wife. She saw the worry in her eyes but she knew Beca was worried because she cared a fucking great deal about their daughter.
"One, she's a 6-year-old girl, who's never had any contact with a man, surrounded by women, she's curious. Two, so what if she grows up to be a lesbian? There's nothing wrong with it, we'll accept her, love her, be there for her when she needs. Right?" Chloe asked.
Beca looked down and nodded, taking a deep breath.
"You're right, I just.." Beca looked back up at her. "I just don't want her to suffer."
Chloe saw tears in the corner of her wife's eyes and she immediately cupped her cheeks with her hands, looking deep in Beca's dark blue eyes.
"I know you and I will never ever allow our daughters to suffer." Chloe said. "We're gonna be there for them always and try to avoid the heartaches. But remember that Charlotte's only 6, baby."
Chloe pecked her lips and Beca nodded, looking calmer.
"Yeah. Okay." Beca said. "You're right."
Chloe smiled.
"Thanks, baby." Beca said with a smile as she looked up at Chloe.
"You're welcome." Chloe said and kissed her again before snuggling up to her again.
"You know I miss those little munchkins." Beca said.
"Me too. Like crazy." Chloe said with a sigh.
Beca smiled.
"We'll see them soon." she said.
"Yeah." Chloe yawned.
Beca giggled and kissed the top of Chloe's head.
"Goodnight baby."
"Goodnight." Chloe said, closing her eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too." Beca smiled and closed her eyes.
I hope you like this chapter! I need Katy Perry in this story for later on ;)
