Punching above my weight
‘Eurgh I wish we never had to come back.’ Beca complained leaning her head on Chloe’s shoulder as they strolled through the airport.
They’d spent their last evening having dinner with the family, and then all parting ways the next morning to get different flights.
‘Me too.’ Chloe sighed.
The brunette stood up straight again, looping her arm through her girlfriend’s. ‘Are we going to um…like tell the others? About us I mean.’
The redhead glanced at Beca. ‘Well, if you feel okay with that? I thought we could, I’m sure it wouldn’t take long for them to find out anyway.’
Beca laughed. ‘True, I have some photos I wanted to put up on Instagram so they’re going to have to deal with it.
‘You do? So do I, some very cute ones of you.’ Chloe winked teasingly.
‘Oh my god. You did not!’ The brunette rolled her eyes. ‘I bet they’re awful.’
Chloe nudged her with her shoulder. ‘They’re great thank you very much. Come on, let’s go home.’
Beca couldn’t even be bothered to care about what everyone was going to think or say, because all she could think about was the fact that she was going home with Chloe as her girlfriend.
They’d stopped off at the nearest café to grab a coffee and a bite to eat.
Beca’s phone pinged and she unlocked it to find Chloe had tagged her in an Instagram photo of her laying on the sand, sunglasses perched on her nose, and a lazy smile on her face. The caption saying ‘My girlfriend is cuter than yours.’
‘You’re such a dork.’ Beca rolled her eyes but she was grinning.
‘Is that…okay? That I put it up?’ Chloe bit her lip, fully expecting the other girl to have freaked out a little bit.
The brunette glanced up and smiled. ‘Yeah, I’m cool. You know I’m all in right? There’s no going back now, you’re stuck with me.’
Chloe grinned, nudging Beca’s foot under the table with her own. ‘Well I’m very okay with that.’
‘Now it’s my turn…’ Beca waved her phone about, opening up Instagram.
A few minutes later, Chloe had a notification.
Beca had uploaded a photo of her at the market, grinning and holding a charm bracelet in her hands. The caption saying ‘Holy shit I really am punching above my weight here.’ With a heart eyes emoji, and the bomb emoji.
‘Ever the romantic.’ Chloe teased. ‘And for the record, you’re not punching above your weight.’
Beca went to respond but both of their phones were currently going crazy with all the girls messaging in the group chat and commenting on their Instagram photos.
‘Yes you are punching above your weight.’ – Aubrey
‘Holy cheeseballs! You guys are so cute!!!!’ – Emily
‘Nice one shorty, you caught the fireball.’ – Stacie
‘Oh my god, they’re never going to stop are they?’ Beca groaned.
Chloe laughed lightly. ‘Nope. Worth it though.
Beca rolled her eyes but gave Chloe a small smile. ‘Totes.’
