Whoops
They woke up, as per usual, together. Except this time, they weren’t wearing clothes.
‘Mmm, morning.’ Chloe mumbled into Beca’s shoulder.
Beca chuckled at the tickling sensation on her bare skin. ‘Morning. Do you want to go and get breakfast?’
The redhead nodded. ‘Yeah, when I can move.’
‘I was that good?’ Beca teased, as Chloe bit her jokingly on her shoulder. ‘Ow, kidding kidding.’
They sat up, feeling some kind of giddy. Beca leant forward to kiss the other girl. ‘Shower?’
‘Only if you’re joining me?’ Chloe winked, getting out of bed, holding out a hand.
‘I’d be pretty stupid to pass up that offer.’ The brunette scoffed, taking the girl’s hand.

‘Oh here they are, finally.’ John announced, much to Chloe’s annoyance.
‘Good night girls?’ Matthew smirked.
Beca rolled her eyes at the brothers. ‘Oh yeah.’
Chloe bumped the girl with her shoulder. ‘Beca.’
‘What? They asked!’ Beca laughed, sticking her middle finger up at the guys.
They all got settled, before ordering their breakfast. The conversation turned to what everyone had planned for their last full day in the country.
‘I can’t believe we go back tomorrow, being here is like heaven.’ Chloe pouted.
Beca leant forward kissing her quickly. ‘It’s not this place that makes it feel like heaven to me.’
‘That was so cheesy.’ Chloe raised an eyebrow, but couldn’t help the grin that had found it’s way onto her face.
‘Whatever, you love me.’ Beca sat back coolly.
The redhead shrugged. ‘I mean…you’re alright.’
The brunette frowned, feigning shock. ‘I am hurt Beale.’
‘I’m sorry baby.’ Chloe winked, laughing as her brothers and dad groaned at their cuteness as they ate.
Anne clapped her hands together. ‘I thought we could all go to the beach together this afternoon, so you all have this morning to spend doing whatever you want?’
‘Sounds great mom.’ Chloe smiled, playing with Beca’s hand. ‘What do you want to do Becs? We could go to the markets?’
‘Sure. Let’s go dork.’ She poked her tongue out.
‘I actually cannot get over how gross you guys are.’ Chloe’s brother said, the other nodding in agreement with an air of amusement.
Chloe rolled her eyes. ‘Stop being so jealous. See you losers later.’
///
‘This place is huge.’ Beca said, referring to the street market they had just walked to.
Chloe nodded. ‘Yeah it’s cool right? I thought we could do some shopping and grab some lunch.’
‘Sounds good to me.’
They walked through the market swinging their hands together like children.
It didn’t take long before a stall had stolen Chloe’s attention. ‘Oooo Becs! These are so pretty, we should get some for the girls!’
The stall was selling golden bracelets with little animal charms on them, and Beca had to admit they were nice.
‘Yeah they’d love them.’
They spent the next 10 minutes picking out the perfect bracelets for each girl, before leaving that stall to carry on browsing.
Beca sneakily took photos of Chloe excitedly roaming the stalls, pointing things out to the brunette and making conversation with the other people there.
They’d stopped to grab some drinks, whilst Chloe was ordering for them both, Beca was glancing around her at the place. Her eyes stopped on a stall instantly, and she told Chloe she’d be right back much to the confusion of the other girl.
Beca quickly made her way to the small stall in the corner of the market.
‘How much for this one?’
She’d quickly brought it, and hurried back to her bemused girlfriend. ‘Where’d you go?’
‘I got you something.’ She smiled.
‘Really?’ Chloe grinned, bouncing on her toes. ‘What is it?’
‘Turn around.’ Beca told her.
Chloe turned around so the brunette was facing her back, Beca reach around Chloe’s front and put the necklace she had just brought the girl around her neck, doing up the clasp.
‘There.’
Chloe looked down to see it, and gasped. ‘Beca I love it.’
It was a silver necklace, with a pair of silver headphones and a heart charm.
‘It’s like your tattoo.’ The redhead grinned.
‘Yeah.’ Beca shrugged. ‘I’m glad you like it.’
Chloe leaned forward placing a chaste kiss on their girl’s lips. ‘You’re amazing.’
‘Oh I know.’ Beca smirked, earning herself a playful punch on the arm.
They spent the rest of their free time, wandering through the stalls, before grabbing some lunch and sitting to chill out in the shade.
They slowly made their way back to the hotel to meet the rest of the family before they were heading to the beach.
‘Mom!’ Chloe called out.
The older woman turned with a smile. ‘Hey, the others are just on their way down.’
‘Look what Beca got me!’ The redhead said excitedly, showing off her new necklace.
‘That’s lovely.’ Her mom commented.
‘I’ll just go and grab our stuff Becs.’ Chloe kissed her on the cheek and left before Beca could say anything, leaving her girlfriend alone with her mother.
‘So…’ Beca said awkwardly, shoving her hands in her short’s pockets.
Anne smiled at the girl. ‘You love my daughter?’
‘Very much so.’ The girl replied honestly with a shy smile as she looked at the ground.
The woman nodded. ‘You make her really happy.’
‘I try Mrs Beale.’ Beca said. ‘She’s…amazing. I don’t know what I’d do without her.’
‘Hopefully you’ll never have to find out!’ Chloe appeared beside her with their beach bags, making Beca jump.
‘Jesus Beale, that was quick.’ Beca placed her hand over her chest. ‘You nearly gave me a heart attack.’
Chloe laughed happily, linking their arms. ‘Come on then, let’s go.’
They followed the rest of the family out of the hotel, joining in with the joking around.
///
‘Right who’s coming for a swim?’ John stood up.
They had all been sunbathing and relaxing in the sun for the past 40 minutes.
‘Me!’ Chloe jumped up. ‘Come on Becs.’
‘Do I have to?’
‘Yep.’ Chloe put her hands on her hips.
Beca laughed standing up. ‘That answered that then.’
A bunch of the others got up to go for a swim, fortunately they had all put their swim suits on under their clothes that they’d worn to the beach.
As Beca lifted her shirt over her head, she heard a couple of stifled laughs. ‘What?’
‘Christ Chloe, make a mark much?’
Beca looked down to find multiple dark hickeys on her shoulder, neck and chest, that she hadn’t noticed before. ‘Chloe!’
‘Whoops?’ The redhead shrugged.
‘Jesus.’ Beca covered her embarrassed face with her hands, much to the amusement of the others.
Chloe then took off her shirt to reveal her own hickeys, the handiwork of her girlfriend. ‘Guess we’re even huh?’
Beca let out a laugh, awkwardly scratching the back of her neck. ‘Whoops?’
‘I’m going to pretend I didn’t see any of this.’ Chloe’s dad joked, covering his eyes.
‘Sorry Mr Beale.’ Beca apologised, unable to wipe the smirk off of her face.
‘No you’re not!’ He retaliated.
Beca shrugged with a smile. ‘I know but I was trying to be polite.’
