Unclosed Desires

Chapter 3: One Step Too Far

It was deadly silent, Beca didn't want to be the first to speak because she felt like she didn't have the right to speak right now. Arizona just slowly walked back and forth the room as Beca remained sat on the bed.

But the silence became too much that she felt like she had to "I-"

"You slept with my cousin! " Arizona quickly blurted as she snapped out of her thoughts, scaring the hell out of Beca in the process.

"There it is" she muttered as she sat down on the bed.

"You actually had sex with her" her hands flew to her forehead as she began to pace the room. Beca shrugged "Kind of"

She suddenly stopped "What does kind of mean?"

"It means yes I did but I'm hoping if I say kind of you won't be as mad"

"I am mad!"

"Okay" Beca breathed and sat back. She knew this was a lot of process right now but it wasn't like she knew they were cousins, which she then testified out loud "Zone I didn't know she was your cousin...which I'm hoping makes all of this okay"

Arizona turned to her "What would you say if I slept with your...brother. Hm?"

Beca just stared at her, her brows pinched together "Derek?"

"Yeah. Yeah what would you say if I slept with Derek?"

Beca thought for a moment and then shrugged "I'd say that's pretty weird considering you're gay"

"Beca"

"I mean I have four sisters you could have picked from but no you go straight to Derek...no pun intended-

"Beca!"

"I'm sorry" Beca whispered as she closed her eyes, praying for the amused smirk to get away from her face but it just wouldn't. She prayed that she would stop finding this funny but she just couldn't . It was the motherload of fuck ups and coincidences.

The thing was even now she didn't regret it. She didn't regret meeting Chloe friday night, spending the night laughing with her and she still didn't regret sleeping with her. Maybe she was just a terrible person for still feeling pretty great about it. Beca ran her fingers through her hair and sat back up on the bed "Is it really that bad? I mean you haven't seen her in like ten years"

"That's not the point" Arizona took a breath and held up her hand "Becs. I love you. But you can't start something up with her, okay? I can't have my best friend and my cousin hooking up"

"It may have only been one night but I love her!" Beca quickly burst, seeing how unamused Arizona still was by it all. Beca settled back down and sighed "Worth a shot but clearly humour is still out of the equation"

"You get it right? If any shit happened between the two of you then I'll be the one who has to pick sides"

"Okay here's where you need to slow down" Beca held her hands up before getting up on her own two feet and taking hold of Arizona's arms to get her to look at her "I had a one night stand. Cousin or not that's all it was, okay? There's not going to be any hookups or relationships. It was one night"

Arizona just sighed as she looked at her, not seeming that convinced as she then raised the point "Yeah and you know I'd buy that but she works here now and you clearly are attracted to her"

"Maybe your family should stop producing hot children" Beca smirked as Arizona let out a small groan as she rolled her eyes and looked away from her, she leaned forward slightly and muttered "You get it I just said you were hot-"

"I got it"

Beca nodded and put her hand back in her pocket "Just thought I'd lighten the load. Usually you're not so serious so it's freaking me out"
