Age Is Just a Number

Chapter 37: Birthday Sex

With some money she had saved up from work and with some of her Christmas money, Beca decided to buy herself a Playstation 4. The console had been staying at Chloe's lately since that's where the brunette was most of the time.

"Babe, can you see what that was?" Beca asked as her phone vibrated beside her but she was too engrossed in her game of Fifa to check it.

"I don't want to go through your phone." Chloe chuckled, taking her eyes away from her laptop as she rested her reading glasses on the top of her head.

"Why not?" The teenager scoffed, still not tearing her eyes away from the TV.

"I remember how mad you got at your friends when they snooped around your phone."

"Dude, I'm not asking you to snoop." Beca laughed. "Plus I trust you anyway, I've got nothing to hide, the only person I send dirty texts to is you." She smirked with a laugh.

"You're an idiot." The redhead giggled as she eventually picked up her girlfriend's phone and unlocked it (Yeah she knew Beca's password, she managed to figure that one out herself a while ago.) "It's a text from Jesse. He's asking if you want to go to the mall." Chloe looked up from the phone to look at her girlfriend.

The brunette took a few seconds to think about it. "Nah, just tell him I'm here."

"You can go if you want." Chloe shrugged. She knew the brunette wouldn't want to leave her by herself. The redhead could manage herself, it was a struggle but she could still do most things for herself. Her girlfriend worries too much.

"I don't want to leave you though." Beca said, pausing her game to turn to Chloe.

"If you just help me into the wheelchair before you go, I'll be fine. Beca, I don't want you to stop hanging out with your friends just to sit here with me." Chloe explained, running her hand along Beca's thigh.

"I hate leaving you." The younger girl whined, intertwining her fingers with Chloe's.

"I know but you come over here everyday after school, you deserve to go out with Jesse for a little while." The redhead said softly, stroking the back of Beca's hand with her thumb.

Beca sighed. "Are you sure you're gonna be alright?"

"Of course." Chloe reassured.

"Hey, Beca?" Jesse asked as they wandered the mall, sipping on their milkshakes.

"Mhm?" The girl hummed before swallowing her mouthful of chocolate milkshake.

"When's the right time to call a girl your girlfriend?" He wondered, tilting his head at his friend.

"You seeing someone?" Beca asked in surprise.

"Yeah, just this girl from out of town." Jesse lied with a shrug. Him and Stacie agreed not to tell any of their friends about their little dates they had been having. "We've been on a couple of dates and I really, really like her. Just, will I freak her out if I call her my girlfriend?"

"Well I just came out and asked Chloe if she was my girlfriend and if we could call each other it." Beca shrugged. "Just ask her, dude. You'll have to let us meet her." She playfully nudged him with her elbow.

"Maybe." Jesse chuckled. "So what are you planning for Chloe's birthday?" He asked randomly, stirring his straw around his cup.

"Well, I've already got her gift."

"Oh what did you get her?" The boy wondered as they continued to wander aimlessly around the mall.

"I got her a record player with some old Beatles vinyls. I still need to get her a card and I'm gonna buy her a bunch of flowers too." The girl explained.
