4 Years Too Long

Chapter 5

The party had been going on for what felt like hours. Beca had more alcohol in her system than she intended. Jesse stopped looking after her. He found someone to talk to. Chloe would occasionally check up on her, making sure Beca didn't break down because of her break up with Jesse.

"Chlo, you really don't need to check up on me all the time. I'm fine, really. I told. It was a mutual decision, and we are better this way. I promise," Beca tried to make Chloe feel better. Chloe has always been there for Beca, but since Beca doesn't like talking about things, Chloe had found at least after the break up had taken place.

"I know, but I just feel so bad Bec," she sighed in frustration. "You're my best friend and I wasn't there for you when you needed me." Chloe was so aggravated with herself when it came to that. Her best friend needed her, but Chloe was too wrapped up with the worlds that she had been ignoring her brunette co-captain. To be fair, Beca has been pretty sneaky lately too. She didn't seem to be all in for the world's. Chloe just thought it had to do with her rocky relationship with Jesse. "Alright Becs, I'll leave it alone. I just want you to know that Im here for you, okay," Chloe states, giving her best friend a reassuring smile and a hug.

Beca was happy when Chloe finally dropped it, and walked away. Luisa was coming towards her, and didn't the redhead near her for this exchange.

"You've had quite a bit to drink. I hope you can hold your liquor than that one night in Berlin," Luisa says to her, almost lovingly.

"You... you remember me," Beca asks with shock written all over her face.

"Of course I do. That was a summer I'll never forget," Luisa tells her, as if it is the most obvious thing in the world.

"I thought you had forgotten about me," Beca whispers. Tears threatening her eyes. "You never wrote me.

"You never wrote me either maus." Luisa moves closer to Beca, leaving almost no space inbetween the 2 of them. "I thought," Luisa sighs. "I thought I meant nothing to you."

Beca could tell that this was hard for her to say out loud. She wasn't one to express her feelings. Neither of them were good at that. "I could never forget about you Luisa." Before Beca could say anything more, Luisa was leaning in to kiss the brunette. She moved slowly in case Beca wanted to turn her down, but she didn't. This is what Beca has been waiting for since she laid eyes on her in Germany.

The kiss was more than either of them could have dreamed. There was so much love between them. They kissed for what seemed like hours. Neither wanting to come up for air, even though they needed to. When they did, Beca took the opportunity to tell the blonde, "you taste like strawberries. I've always wanted to know what you taste like. I've dreamt about kissing you. It's something I wished I had done before I left for the States."

Beca never thought in a million years that she would actually get the chance to say this to Luisa, let alone in person.

"Beca, I lo-" Luisa was interrupted by the brunette kissing her. Luisa was never one to be a softie, but this little brunette was never going to get Kommissar. She knew that. Beca was her light in all of the darkness. She was the one Luisa always dreamt of falling asleep next to. Waking up next to. The one she never had to be harsh to. Beca was the one that got away, and she was not letting her go this time.

"Beca," Luisa breathed out, pushing the smaller girl away gently, so she could tell her what she has been wanting to say for 4 years. "Beca, I have never told anyone this. You are the one person I always thought I could be myself with. I have never smiled more than I did that summer with you. You may be Tiny Maus, but I would love you to be my tiny maus, if you'd let me. Ich liebe dich Beca. More than you will ever know." Luisa finished her ramblings, hoping she didn't just ruin her chance.

"Luisa, ich liebe dich auch. I have ever since I laid eyes on you the day we met. I literally wrote you this super long, almost 15 page letter on my way home from Germany, expressing my love you. Telling you just how much you meant to me. I never thought I would be able to tell you how much I love you. I'm so happy that you feel the same. I feared that since you never wrote me, you didn't care for me, so I never wrote you. I never forgot about you though. You see, you stole my heart back then, and I never really planned on taking it back," Beca was rambling by now, and she knew, but she didn't care. Luisa loves her, and, "oh! I would love to be yours Luisa." Beca decided to seal it with a kiss, not caring who saw because she finally got the girl of her dreams.
