That laugh
‘Hold on.’ Aubrey told Chloe. ‘You are Beca are going to pretend you’re dating?’
‘Well, yes but only for the wedding.’ She shrugged.
Aubrey blew out a breath. ‘And you think this is a good idea? I mean, considering…’
‘Considering what?’
‘The fact that you like her.’ Aubrey rolled her eyes.
The redhead laid down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. ‘We’re friends, just friends. And she’s doing me a favour, that’s all.’
‘Yeah.’ Aubrey nodded. ‘Just be careful okay?’
‘I will be.’ Chloe smiled, turning onto her side to look at her friend.
The quiet knock on the door came moments after.
‘Come in?’ Chloe called out.
Beca slowly pushed the door open, and entered the room. ‘Hey…erm, oh hey Aubrey.’
‘Beca.’ Aubrey nodded.
Chloe patted the space beside her on the bed as she sat up, gesturing for Beca to come and sit next to her.
Aubrey stood up quickly and glanced over at Chloe. ‘Right well, see you in a bit guys.’
Once Aubrey had left, Chloe turned to look at her friend. ‘So, what’s up?’
‘I just thought that like since we’ll be going in a couple of days, maybe we should talk it through and stuff?’ Beca shrugged awkwardly.
‘Oh right, yeah that’s probably a good idea.’ She smiled. ‘So…’
‘What are we going to tell them? Like, how do we…I don’t know Chlo, I’ve never done this before.’ Beca laughed.
Chloe scoffed, and smiled at her. ‘Me neither!’
‘I mean; it won’t be too difficult. They all know how we met so we don’t have to make that up, we could just say that our friendship just sortof grew into something else…and this happened?’ Chloe bit her lip.
‘Yeah, yeah that’s cool.’ Beca nodded quickly.
‘Then all we have to do is like…act like a couple?’ Chloe shrugged, a smirk on her face. ‘You know that thing called physical contact?’
The brunette rolled her eyes. ‘Yeah we’ll be fine with that, because you do it anyway.’
Chloe winked in response.
Beca smiled despite herself, and found her eyes trailing down towards Chloe’s lips, before stopping herself. A blush crept over her cheeks as she realised that Chloe had probably caught her, so the brunette laid down onto the bed beside her so she wouldn’t have to look at her.
Beca cleared her throat. ‘So, what’s the rest of your family like?’
Chloe took a moment to think. ‘Crazy, sweet, dorks.’
‘So…just like you then?’ Beca teased, causing Chloe to tip her head back and laugh.
Beca loved that laugh.
Beca loved when she caused that laugh.
