Such a gentleman
The couple collapsed into bed after a long day and evening, still smiling even though they were exhausted.
‘So, good day?’ Chloe asked with grin.
Beca turned onto her side to face the girl. ‘Great day.’
‘And now we have the next 4 days to ourselves in this lovely country. I mean, we still have a couple of family obligations but you know.’ The redhead rambled sleepily.
Beca grinned. ‘Yeah we have time. Can I take you out tomorrow? Like, an official date?’
Chloe sighed happily. ‘I’d love that.’
‘Cool cool cool.’ She replied, watching the redhead’s eyes close for a second. ‘We should sleep.’
The girl leant forward for a chaste kiss on the lips before pulling the duvet over the both of them, and curling up with the girl she loved who loved her back.
Chloe fell asleep almostly instantly with the ghost of a smile on her face, whilst Beca took a moment to replay the day. She just couldn’t believe that things would turn out well for her in this instance, and she was grateful to whatever universal forces had made this happen for her.
They woke up feeling content, having a small lay in, just holding one another before having to go down for family breakfast.
The rest of the family must have noticed a small change between the two girls as they commented on how happy they seemed that morning, watching the little gestures they make towards one another like cheek kisses, Beca pouring Chloe’s juice for her, sharing their food.
‘I don’t know, maybe weddings just bring this side out of me…’ Beca replied to the family, winking at Chloe. ‘Or maybe it’s just Chlo.’
‘I told you all she was secretly a softie.’ Chloe teased.
Beca jokingly rolled her eyes. ‘I’ll sue you for defamation Beale.’
‘Anyone would think you two were the newlyweds.’ Anne, Chloe’s mom, raised an eyebrow at the pair.
‘Yeah well, if she’s lucky…you know.’ Beca gently smiled.
After breakfast, they went up to their rooms to pack a backpack to take out for the day.
‘Do you ever think about getting married?’ Chloe asked point blank.
‘Uh, well.’ Beca chuckled, scratching the back of her neck. ‘Being secretly in love with your best friend makes you think about stuff like that I guess. It never seemed like a possibility though.’
Chloe grinned, grabbing Beca’s hand and tugging her towards her for a kiss. ‘I love you.’
‘I love you too.’ Beca sighed happily. ‘Just don’t be expecting a proposal anytime soon, we’re not even facebook official yet Beale.’
‘Oooo can we can we!’ Chloe scrunched up her face in excitement.
The brunette laughed, nudging the girl with her shoulder. ‘I have something I want to do first, so facebook can wait.’
‘What? What are we doing today anyway?’ Chloe pouted. ‘You didn’t tell me.’
‘It’s a surprise.’ She replied ominously. ‘All I will tell you is that I’m going to try and make this the best first date you’ve ever had.’
The redhead grinned so big she was minorly worried that her face might split. Although Beca had been wondering how she’d got so lucky to have someone like Chloe, Chloe was also wondering how on earth she had gotten so lucky.
Chloe gets to see another side of Beca that others weren’t so lucky to see. And she was positive she would never stop loving that.
‘Stop daydreaming Chlo, let’s go.’ Beca winked, opening their hotel door and gesturing for Chloe to leave. ‘Ladies first.’
‘Such a gentleman.’ Chloe teased.
‘Yes well, got to start this date off right haven’t I.’ Beca followed her out, closing the door behind her, hoping this would go as well as she had planned.
