Hard Times

Stacie sighed as she finished putting her new clothes away. "Becs, does it bother you when I kiss you?" She asked, turning to face the shorter brunette.

Beca shrugged. "Should it?"

The leggy brunette shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, but I really like kissing you."

"And I like kissing you." Beca said.

Moving over to her bed, Stacie straddled Beca's hips. "But we're not dating, we're just friends who make out."

"Yes." Beca said, nodding.

Leaning down, Stacie pressed her lips to Beca's.

Beca kissed her back.

Stacie slowly deepened the kiss, tilting her head slightly to the right.

Beca cupped Stacie's cheek.

A soft moan escaped Stacie as she pushed her tongue into Beca's mouth.

Beca broke the kiss after a moment.

The leggy brunette smiled softly. "See, it doesn't feel weird."

Beca shrugged. "It doesn't. But I don't like you the way you liked Aubrey." She said honestly.

Nodding her head, Stacie bit her lip. "I don't like you that way either, but I mean does that mean we can't kiss? We're both single, unless you're planning on getting with Chloe."

"Chloe? Why would I get with Chloe?" Beca asked, frowning.

"Well she definitely has a crush on you, and I thought maybe you had one on her." Stacie said with a shrug.

Beca cleared her throat and shrugged. "Maybe."

Nodding her head, Stacie leaned down to kiss Beca again.

Beca kissed her back.

Deepening the kiss, Stacie placed her hand on the side of Beca's neck.

Their kiss was soon interrupted by Taylor and Benji bursting into the room. "Hayley, where is she? She hasn't come back." The two boys said in unison.

Stacie pulled back and moved off of Beca. "What?"

"You guys came home and Hayley wasn't with you, so where is she?" Benji asked.

The leggy brunette frowned and looked at Beca. "She came home with us." She said slowly.

"Well she's gone now." Benji said, he looked worried. "Where would she go?"

Taylor hit Benji's arm in realisation. "She'd go home."

Stacie sighed softly and dropped back on her pillows. She knew they were going to expect her to go with them. But she was beyond tired and just wanted to be held.

"Home? Why would she go to that dump?" Benji asked.

"Because it's her home." Taylor said. "She's been there a few times."

Shifting on the bed, Stacie curled into Beca's side and laid her head on the shorter girl's chest.

"Let's go get her." Benji said.

Stacie didn't respond, already drifting to sleep on Beca's chest.

"Go guys go, we'll stay here in case she isn't there and comes here." Beca said.

Benji and Taylor nodded before taking off.

Stacie shifted against Beca, slipping her hand under the shorter girl's shirt to rest on her stomach.

Beca played with Stacie's hair with a soft sigh. Her thoughts travelled to the kisses they'd been sharing. She liked kissing Stacie but she didn't think they'd make a good couple. Plus, she didn't want to ruin their friendship with a relationship that probably wouldn't work out. That would be the worst thing ever. Stacie was her best friend and she didn't want to screw that up.
