I don’t think she’s interested buddy.
‘Want to grab a table? I'll get the drinks.’ Beca shooed Chloe away, standing in line at the coffee shop waiting to be served.
Chloe nodded, waltzing over to a free table.
Beca had made her way up the line, finally getting their drinks, and turned around to see the redhead having a conversation with a young guy. As Beca approached them, Chloe glanced over her shoulder looking visibly uncomfortable talking to this dude.
The brunette, got closer to her friend, putting her drinks down. Without thinking, Beca put her arm around her waist.
‘Hey babe. Can I help you?’ The last part was directed at the guy, as Beca ignored the confused look on Chloe’s face.
‘I’m just talking to your friend here.’ He nodded pointedly at Chloe, a smirk on his face.
Beca rolled her eyes. ‘You mean my girlfriend? Yeah, funnily enough I don’t think she’s interested buddy.’
The guy shifted awkwardly, the smirk instantly disappearing. He took a moment to decide on whether to carry on or leave, before finally deciding that the latter was the best option and left with a quick nod of the head.
Chloe turned and grinned, giving Beca a quick kiss on the cheek, causing Beca to blush slightly. ‘My knight in shining armour.’
‘Chloe!’ A voice beside them called out.
They both whipped around to find who it was.
‘Mom?’ Chloe frowned. ‘What are you still doing here? I thought you were going back?’
‘Well I had enough time for a quick coffee before I went home.’ The woman smiled at her daughter. ‘Although it seems you forgot to tell me something whilst I was visiting…’
‘What do you mean?’ Chloe tilted her head.
Her mom looked at the arm wrapped around Chloe’s waist and smiled. ‘You didn’t tell me about you and Beca…dating?’
Beca’s arm dropped from Chloe’s waist instantly. ‘Oh, Mrs Beale this isn’t-‘
‘Oh Beca it’s perfectly fine. In fact, it’s wonderful! I’m so glad Chloe is happy, and it’s great timing for Clara’s wedding isn’t it Chloe? I’ll have to call her to tell her you’re bringing a plus one! I mean, you are bringing Beca aren’t you?’ Mrs Beale rambled on. ‘I’m just so glad you finally told her Chloe.’
‘I-‘ Chloe started.
‘Fantastic!’ She clapped her hands together. ‘I have to get going, but it was lovely to see you!’
And with that she was gone.
‘Told me what?’ Beca furrowed her brow. ‘What just happened?’
Chloe opened her mouth, no words coming out.
‘Chlo?’
‘Erm, so…we have a problem.’ She grinned sheepishly. ‘Girlfriend…?’
