Age Is Just a Number

Chapter 30: Jealousy

"Hey, you'll never guess what happened to me today." Beca said before she bit into another strawberry.

Chloe had picked Beca up from school and brought her back to her apartment after dropping Hailee of at her mother's, so here they were, lounging on the sofa together while sharing a bowl of strawberries.

"What?" Chloe asked, half distracted by Friends on TV.

"I was kissed." Beca smirked, clearly looking to get Chloe to bite.

Chloe ignored her and laughed at the TV.

"Dude, you're not even listening!" Beca pushed Chloe's head with her foot to get the woman's attention.

"Sorry, what?" The redhead finally turned to the younger girl.

"Somebody who wasn't you kissed me today."

"What the hell?" Chloe asked, almost choking on her strawberry. "Who? And you let them kiss you?" The redhead smacked her girlfriend's leg. "Beca!"

"Ow!" Okay she wasn't expecting the woman to get violent. "Chill dude, I didn't kiss her back!" The brunette held her hands up in defence, having to use her feet to stop Chloe slapping her legs even more.

"Who the hell was it?"

Beca smirked, trying her hardest not to laugh. "Somebody's jealous." She sang and Chloe threatened to hit her leg again and she surrendered. "Okay, okay. It was Jennifer. She came up to me in the locker room, apologised and then just randomly kissed me."

"As in Jennifer who went out her way to make your life miserable? As in Jennifer whose brother assaulted you?" Chloe asked in confusion and Beca nodded slowly.

The redhead wouldn't admit it but Beca was right, she was feeling jealous right now, of course mixed with anger too. Someone else had kissed her girlfriend and that was totally not okay.

"Is there a scary green eyed monster behind those baby blues of yours?" Beca teased, poking Chloe in the shoulder.

"I'm not jealous. I don't care." Chloe focused her attention back onto the TV screen.

"Sure you don't." Beca laughed, just watching her girlfriend with a smirk on her face.

Chloe didn't look at the girl, instead just flipped her the finger.

"Somebody is totally jealous!" Beca laughed, leaning closer to her girlfriend to poke her teasingly on the waist.

"Dude, stop." Chloe said seriously, glancing at Beca who immediately backed up.

"Sorry." Beca said quietly as she kept her eyes on Chloe. The older woman was practically scowling at the TV as her chest was heaving heavily. She was either really pissed or she was turned on by Beca annoying her. The brunette went for the former. "Babe?" She didn't mean to upset her girlfriend, she was just messing around.

Chloe refused to answer.

"Chloe, I was just playing. I'm sorry." Beca was genuinely apologising, she seriously didn't mean to piss Chloe off that much. "Say something." She said, placing a hand on Chloe's thigh.

The redhead just stared at Beca's hand. That was her girlfriend's hand and the thought of any other girl holding it, got her - okay maybe a little - jealous. She then finally glanced up at the teenager, focusing on her lips. Her girlfriend's lips, no one else was allowed to kiss them. It wasn't like her to become so possessive but she loved Beca, and anyone else who thinks they can take her away from her can think again.

"Chloe, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"Shut up." Chloe said, pressing her finger against the brunette's lips before pushing her back into the couch. She almost immediately replaced her finger with her lips as she climbed on top of the now lying down brunette.
