Age Is Just a Number

Chapter 40: Los Angeles

"Why am I even here? I'm not going." Beca groaned, throwing her head back, wincing when she hit it a little too hard on the head rest.

"Beca you have to come to prom!" Stacie protested from the backseat, Emily quickly agreeing from beside her.

"I'll be there." Chloe shrugged, taking her hand off the gear shift to give Beca's leg a reassuring squeeze.

Prom was this coming weekend and the girls needed to pick up their dresses that they had picked out (well apart from Beca who kept on insisting she wasn't going.) Chloe was driving again so she had offered to take the girls, trying to convince her girlfriend to go as well since the redhead has been invited by the school to also attend.

"I'm not going without a date, that's lame. It's not like I can have you as my date." The short brunette motioned to her girlfriend dramatically.

"I'm still going to be there though." Chloe reminded, laughing at the over dramatic teenager. "Just go with your friends." She shrugged.

"They're couples!" Beca protested. Jesse of course asked Stacie to be his date and Benji had asked Emily even though it wasn't even her prom, she was his plus 1.

"It's your senior prom Beca, you have to go." Chloe said and the brunette groaned loudly.

"I'm going to be the only one there without a date." Beca whined and Chloe rolled her eyes.

Chloe dropped the girls off after they had got their dresses (and managed to get Beca to get one too) before she headed to Luke's music store.

"Hey, Chloe." The blonde greeted with a smile as the redhead entered the shop.

"Hey." Chloe approached the counter that Luke was standing behind with a smirk on her face. "I need to ask you for a favour."

"Yeah? He furrowed his brow.

"You look beautiful, girls." Kat complimented as she took a photo of the 3 girls stood together in their prom dresses, looking absolutely gorgeous.

John was trying his best not to well up at the sight of his daughter and step daughter looking so grown up and mature.

"Alright boys, get in there." Kat glanced at Jesse and Benji who stood up and joined their dates in the photo which made Beca's smile fade away.

"Can we at least wait on Chloe?" Beca asked. Although the redhead wasn't riding to prom with them (that would've been a little weird for the rest of the school when they arrived) she was still going to come over first.

Speak of the devil, the doorbell suddenly rang and Beca was there as quick as her high heels could carry her. "Hey-oh wow..." The teenager trailed off as she took in the sight of her girlfriend, feeling her mouth go dry as she did so. "You're so..."

"You too." Chloe winked as her girlfriend struggled to find a word. She stepped inside, pulling the brunette closer to her by the waist, connecting their lips.

"I'm so gonna fuck you tonight." Beca whispered with a smirk against her girlfriend's lips.

"Is that so?" Chloe teased.

"Beca who is it?" John called from the living room.

Beca slipped her hand into Chloe's, leading the woman through to the other room. The redhead still limped a little from her leg but other than that she was doing great. "It's my date but not my date." She chuckled and Chloe smiled before she pulled her phone out.

"I've got something to show you." The redhead grinned and Beca stepped closer, looking at Chloe's phone as the woman scrolled through her pictures. "Here's Ryan and I at our senior prom." The older woman handed the brunette the phone who just stared at it wide eyed.
