Halloween.
Chapter four
Beca was looking at the stairs when her phone buzzed. It was an e-mail from his both.
Dear Rebeca;
I’m writing you to let you know that you have to take a flight tomorrow to New York. You’re going to stay there for two weeks. I send you the details about the work you have to do attach to this message. If you have any questions you know you can always come to my office first time in the morning or if you really need the answers you can come to my place and I will be extremely happy to help you with everything you need.
Best wishes,
Harold.
Beca couldn’t believe her eyes. What was she going to do? What about Casey? She trusts Chloe but she doesn’t want her to take care of her daughter for two whole weeks and she knows that Chloe has plans for Halloween, which it’s the day she’s coming back home so she calls to the person who has to take care of Casey.
“Hey Becaw! Still mad at me?” Beca sighs and tries to forget about that.
“Not what I want to talk to you right now Jess, I need your help”
“Is Casey okay?” He sounds worried and Beca smiles. Even if he is a jerk sometimes, she knows that Jesse loves Casey with all his heart.
“Yeah, she is okay but I do want to talk to you about her”
“Go for it”
“I need you to take care of her for two whole weeks. I have to go to New York”
“Okay, no problem. I’ll pick her up when you want me to or you can just drop her off?” Beca was surprise, she knows how Jesse feels about his work and she was expecting a little fight over this.
“Mmm…okay, I can drop her off, that way I can stay a little bit longer with her tomorrow”
“Sure! I hope you had a great day today Becs”
“I did” And oh yeah she did. She is still thinking about Chloe’s lips.
“I’m glad to hear that and I am really sorry about today but it was something really important and I-“ Beca cut him off.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Thank you for this”
“She is my daughter too Becaw! And I own you a big one anyway” She smiles.
“Don’t make her watch too many movies please”
“Do you know who you are talking to? Because I think you’d forgotten” Beca laughs.
“You’re an idiot. Well, I have to pack and all that jazz so…see you tomorrow”
“See you tomorrow!”
Beca goes to her room but before getting in she looks at Chloe’s door and thinks about the girl inside. She wants to knock and tell her everything but she is not sure if Chloe would be sleeping already so she just goes into her room and starts with her packing.
Chloe wakes up and the first thing in her mind is Beca and how she was brave enough to move in the last second and kissed her. She does her morning routine and goes to the kitchen to start making breakfast but Beca and Casey are already there and smiling at her.
“Mrnig Chlo” Casey has her mouth full of what Chloe thinks are pancakes and she smiles at the littler girl.
“Casey! Don’t talk with your mouth full! You could choke” Casey finishes her food and looks at her mom.
“Sorry mommy” Beca smiles at her daughter and gets up to get a plate for Chloe.
“Here! I made some for you too”
“Thank you Beca” Casey looks at her mom and then to Chloe. “Maybe that’s what Chloe was talking about yesterday” She thinks.
“No problem, they’re your favourite I think? Casey wasn’t sure when I asked her” Beca touches her neck and blushes and Chloe finds it completely adorable.
“Yeah, with chocolate. I love them” She winks at Beca who blushes even further.
“I have some news for you Chloe. I already talk to this little princess but I think you need to know too”
“What it is? Am I fired?” Chloe thought about the kiss and how both wanted it. It couldn’t be that right?
“What?! Of course not. We want you here” Chloe relaxes and nods. “It’s just that I’m leaving for two weeks to New York and you’re going to have the house to yourself”
“What? What about Casey?”
“She is staying with Jesse. I didn’t want you to have to take care the whole time you know?”
“I wouldn’t mind but okay” Chloe smiles at her.
“No parties though” Chloe laughs at this and Beca smiles. “You can make one party, a Halloween party. It’s the same day I’ll be back so I can join you later”
“Really?” Chloe’s eyes are shining right now. She loves Halloween. She was always the one who made the biggest party on that day.
“Yeah, I can leave you some money if you want to but things for the house and all of that”
“No need, I can pay for it”
“It’s my house though, and I won’t let you pay for anything red.” They smile at each other and then look at Casey who was looking at her with a huge smile in her face. “What are you smiling at chipmunk?”
“Nothing mommy, nothing” She laughs and keeps eating. Both girls look at each other and smile at the little girl.
“Aubrey, relax! I have everything under control”
“I’m relaxed Chloe. I just want this party to be perfect because after what happened at her birthday party I need to make this party perfect”
It was the day that Beca come back from New York and of course Chloe invited Beca’s friends, at least the one she knows. But when she told Aubrey she was so invested in the idea that Chloe was starting to freak out. She didn’t know how controlling Aubrey could be and when she texted Beca about it, Beca had laughed at her and told her that she better get used to it. They have being texting each other, sometimes flirting and sometimes just casual talk but they both were dying for this day to come. They talked about Stacie and Aubrey too and how they would look really cute together. Even if right now Chloe was starting to think that maybe they won’t be so cute after all…Two controlling people together? She is not sure about it.
“Aubrey everything is done. The only thing missing is you guys and Beca who will be here in…3 hours”
“Okay, I trust you”
“You better”
“Okay…Stacie and I will be there in 30 minutes so be ready”
“Why are you picking up Stacie?”
“Oh! I’m not…she is here with me. She wanted to do my make-up and all of that”
“Right…”
“We'll, see you in a few” Chloe didn’t have time to say goodbye. She was so going to keep an eye on those two at the party. She misses Beca. She couldn’t believe how much you can miss someone who she didn’t know about a few month ago and now...well, now she can only think about being with Beca, every day and kiss her and touch her and make her laugh. Yes, Chloe Beale was really screwed. Someone knocking at the door wake Chloe up of her daydreaming. “Coming!” She runs to the door and when she opens it she sees Beca standing there smiling at her.
“Hello, are you Miss Beale? Because I have something for y-“ Chloe was in Beca’s arms before she could finish talking. Beca hold her tight and oh god how much did she missed that lavender smell from Chloe’s hair.
“Beca! What are you doing here? I thought you were coming in the 3pm flight” Chloe lets go of Beca but keeps her hand in the other woman shoulders.
“You said it. I was but I finished earlier so…” They smile at each other and then Beca reminds what she has in her hand. “Oh…em…this is for you…it’s just I don’t know” Beca gives Chloe a little teddy bear.
“Oh my god! It’s so cute! I love it! Thank you Beca” Chloe kisses Beca in her cheek and Beca blushes. “I missed you too” Beca smiles and then she realize what Chloe is wearing and her mouth drops. Chloe is wearing a short, really short, red dress and in her head two little red horns. “Beca…my eyes are up here” Beca blinks and looks up at Chloe who winks at her.
“Sorry…you’re just…wow”
“Thank you, now it’s your turn” Beca frowns at this.
“My turn for what?”
“Dressing up Becs, I have your costume in your bedroom”
“I’m not dressing up! That wasn’t part of the plan of the party red” Chloe takes Beca’s bags and takes them upstairs.
“Yes you are! I picked that up for you and you’re using it” Chloe crosses her arms in front of her chest and Beca couldn’t figure it out if she was afraid or turned on, maybe both.
“Okay mom! I will! Jezzz! It’s that how you make my daughter to listen to you?” Chloe laughs at this.
“No, I sing to your daughter and she listens more than you” She winks again and leaves. Beca looks at her bed where the costume is and laugh.
“She is crazy”
The party is at its best when Beca goes downstairs. Everybody is there. The house looks amazing and really creepy. She tries to look for Chloe but she can’t find her. Everyone is looking at her and smiling.
“What the heck are you wearing Beca Mitchell?” Of course Aubrey would be at the party but what Beca didn’t expect was how drunk her friend was.
“It’s my costume”
“That’s not a costume! This is a costume” Aubrey is wearing a witch costume. All black.
“It is a costume and Chloe chose it for me so...”
“Oh I see…” Aubrey smirks at Beca. “You have such a toner for her that I can’t believe no one else can’t see it”
“Shush Bree! You’re drunk”
“That I am” Beca laughs and then feels someone hugging her from behind but she knows it can’t be Chloe.
“Ow little Beca looks so cute and fluffy right now! I would keep you with me the whole night if it wasn’t because I want to be with my bab-Bree…with my Bree” Beca smirks at that.
“Stace…Bree…no more alcohol for any of you okay?” And Beca would recognize that voice everywhere. “Beca, you look adorable right now” Beca turns around and the first thing she sees is a flash. “There! Now I have probes that this really happened”
“Red…you’re getting into trouble” Chloe smirks at her and she swears her heart stop beating.
“Good” It’s the only answer she gets from her.
The night goes really well and Beca and Chloe are in the kitchen refiling their drinks when they hear something that sounds like someone having sex.
“Did you hear that?”
“Dude…not in my pantry…”
“Fuck Stacie…” Beca and Chloe’s eyes almost pop out of their faces.
“I have to do this”
“Becs, leave them alone…” But Beca have been waiting for this for years. Payback is a bitch. She opens the door and like they guessed Aubrey and Stacie were there all over each other.
“I think they don’t even know that you opened the door what it is a little weird…”
“Not fair…” Just when they talked Aubrey looks at them and pushes Stacie away from her.
“That’s not what you think it is…”
“Sorry…Were you checking if I have enough pasta for the next week or….” Chloe snorts and Beca laughs.
“Shut it midget, let’s go Stace” Stacie winks at Chloe who laughs at her friend and just like that they’re alone in the kitchen again.
“I knew they were hooking up! I just knew it” Chloe laughs at Beca.
“Do you want me to give you a price because of that?” Beca knows that Chloe didn’t say it in that way but she was drunk and she doesn’t care about a filter right now.
“That depends…it’s that price something I can touch?” Chloe’s face goes completely red and Beca smirks.
“I…well…I…” Beca stands in front of Chloe and corners her with her arms and the counter.
“You know…we haven’t talked about…what happened” Chloe gulps and bites her lip.
“I know...we can talk now if you want…” Beca is not looking at her eyes, she is looking straight to her lips.
“I think we can talk later when we are alone because now…I don’t feel like talking…”
“What-what do you feel like?” Beca smiles and touches Chloe’s face with one hand letting her thumb caress Chloe’s lip. It’s like the first time.
“Stop me if you don’t want this” And just like the first time Chloe is the one who kisses her but this time the kiss is not slow and gentle. It’s passionate and a little sloppy because of the alcohol but none of them mined it. Chloe’s hands go to Beca’s waist and pull her as closer as she can to her. A little moan escapes Beca’s mouth and Chloe pulls away breathing heavily.
“We…we shouldn’t do this” Beca’s hands drop from where they are in Chloe’s body.
“I thought that you wanted this…”
“What? No, I mean yes, but not like this…not drunk and thinking if you’ll regret it tomorrow or-“ Beca kisses her this time but it’s just a peck.
“I won’t. But I get it. You’re right. Let’s slow down a little bit here” Chloe smiles and nods.
“This is a little scary Beca” Beca smiles at Chloe and takes her hand in hers.
“Well…it’s Halloween, today is supposed to be scary…” Chloe gives Beca one of her shy smiles.“We’ll talk tomorrow Chlo…I promise”
“We’ll talk tomorrow”
