Meant To Be

Author's POV

"Becs, can I talk to you?", Chloe's head peeked out when Beca opened her room door. She quickly glanced over to the bed to see Izzie in Beca's pyjamas on her phone. Beca closed the door behind her and crossed her arms. "Yes?", she asked. "Is there somewhere private we can go?", Chloe asked her. Beca nodded and led her down the stairs, out the house and to the backyard. "This is your private?", Chloe chuckled as she sat down and leaned her back against the tree. "What do you want to talk about?", Beca sat next to her. There was a moment of silence as Chloe looked up to the stars and rested her head back, taking a deep breath in as she close her eyes. "Chlo?", Beca called out. "What are we doing?", Chloe replied. "We're out in the middle of the night, if that's what you mean", Beca chuckled and rested her back too. "No. Me and you. What are we doing? and why? One moment we're snapping at each other, and the other we're longing for each other. It- it's just- it confuses me", Chloe sighed out. "I see. I admit it. I did call Izzie here to piss you off", Beca said before Chloe's body shot up with a "I knew it!". "I just- I just hate that you get to be happy and I'm just- y'know- still stuck here", Beca said. 

"I regret it, y'know", Chloe said.

"I regret everything that I did. I was so stupid! I don't even know what I was thinking. Beca, you meant-", she paused for a while. "You mean everything to me", she continued. Beca's eyes widened. "Becs, I don't know what I'm doing. The whole year was a blur and it feels like you're the only thing I see clearly", she let out. "Chlo? What are you saying?", Beca asked. "I don't know. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm confused! I just- I know that I see you with Izzie and there's this- rage inside me. Some sort of heat burning more and more, the more you touch her, and hold her and I just- I don't know, Becs", she explained as she leaned her head on Beca's shoulder. "I missed this", Beca let out a smile. "I missed you", Chloe replied as she let her hand roam and find Beca's, letting their fingers intertwined. "I don't know what to do, Beca", she said. "You'll figure it out, you always do", Beca smiled. "Can we stay here for a while?", Chloe asked her. "Anything you want", the brunette replied. "Why do you always do that?", she asked. "Why are you always- doing what I want? Like since the start, you always prioritise what I want. What do you want, Becs?", Chloe turned to her, their hands still locked together. They stared into each other's eyes and it felt like- this is it. Beca connected their lips together and both of them embraced each other while Beca placed her hand on Chloe's face. For a while, they found home in each other's lips and when they both pulled away, foreheads against each other. "You. I want you. All of you", Beca let out. 

"Beca, I wan-", before Chloe could finish they heard the door open. "Chloe?", a voice called out. Both Beca and Chloe shot up and felt the nerves run up their spine as they quickly stood up. "What are you guys doing here?", Alice walked towards the two women. Beca looked at Chloe and watched as panic grows in her eyes, "We were just catching up, I couldn't sleep", Chloe forced a smile. Right then and there, Beca was snapped back into reality that as long as Alice was here, she could never be with the woman she love. "You're coming back soon?", Alice smiled to which Chloe just nodded to and smiled as she watched Alice walked back into the house. Chloe turned to Beca who stood there awkwardly with her arm on her shoulder. "Becs-", Chloe walked closer to her but was cut off. "I'm getting a bit tired, I think it's time for us to turn in", Beca forced a smile before walking in. 

"What took you so long? I was starting to get worried", Izzie smirked as Beca walked in. "Did I keep you up?", Beca said getting into bed. "Hmm, no. But I guess since we're both awake", Izzie climbed on top of Beca. "Round 2?", she smirked. They started making out but all Beca could think of was Chloe's lips on hers. Izzie cupped her face and the only feeling she felt was Chloe's hands on her face.
