Hold Up, I Love You?

Two.

(Chloe's POV)

I woke up to Beca's face asleep next to mine. I had a little smirk that grew when I remembered how amazing last night was. Best sex we've had yet. The small brunette went wild last night, and I could barely catch my breath just thinking about it.
She was so cute and peaceful when she was asleep. I loved waking up to her face, it always made me feel loved first thing in the morning.

Loved? No... not loved. Just happy. Happy is more like it. Beca and I agreed early on that there would be no love in our relationship. Just sex. Sex and only sex. I couldn't have feelings for Beca, that was against our rules. Rules we placed with purpose.
I got out of bed and started pulling my clothes on. I heard a groan from behind me and a grumpy Beca got out of bed, standing at my side, still completely unclothed. "Hey there, last night was great, huh?" Beca bit her lip and I was immediately turned on by the look she was giving me, I knew in that moment I was lying to myself when I say I don't have feelings for this tiny girl. Feelings that go far beyond a friends with benefits relationship.

I shook my thoughts away and tried to do my best to keep my mind on track. "Best we've had." I agreed with a wink. I ran my hand through my hair, trying to brush through it with my fingers. I pulled a pack of gum out of my bag and put a piece in my mouth since I didn't have a toothbrush here. "Aubrey's gonna wonder where I was last night."

Beca shrugged. "Just tell her you were helping me study, or something. Tell her I'll need your help all week." Beca wrapped her arms around my waist and placed her hands in my back pocket. "Kimmy-Jin is gone for a week, and if you think we're not taking advantage of my empty dorm room, you're wrong."

I rolled my eyes but knew there was now a small smile on my face. I connected our lips. and as soon as our tongues met I felt fireworks. She always managed to make me feel like that, like I was the only girl in the world, like every kiss was magic. Her naked body was pressed into my clothed one, and I knew if I didn't stop our kiss now I was going to join her in the nude. "I've gotta go." I whispered. "Aubrey will be suspicious."

"Get outta here, Beale." Beca winked. "I'll see you at rehearsals later."

I kissed her one last time, and squeezed her butt for good measure before making my way out of the dorm. I got into my car and drove the short distance from campus to my and Aubrey's apartment.
I went up the three floors and down the hall, then turned my key in the door. I walked in and kicked my shoes off before taking my sweater off and hanging it on the coat rack. "Where have you been!?" Aubrey yelled from the kitchen.

I walked into meet her and sat on the counter. "Sorry, Beca asked for help with the Bella's routine, I stayed late to help her and just ended up sleeping over." I shrugged. "I think I'm going to be doing that for a while, you know, until she get's the hang of it."

"Beca came to you for help?" Aubrey was shocked. She placed some eggs and bacon on a plate and handed it to me. "I'm impressed."

"She's really trying to turn things around." I told her, trying to get Beca on Aubrey's good side. "Beca's got a really great voice, we need her vocals in the group." Aubrey huffed and placed some food on a plate for herself. "Seriously, I mean her dancing isn't the best, but I'm sure I can help with that." Close contact with Beca just so happens to be something I am very, very good at.

"You have a week to get her in shape, or else she's out." Aubrey said before taking a bite of bacon. "One week."

"That's all I need." I smiled. "Thank you."

Aubrey shook her head. "I don't know why you're so infatuated with this girl. You better put your toner away before you scare her off, though. Beca seems like a pretty closed off kind of girl, and if you come on too strong she'll be running for the hills."

"I do not have a toner for her!" I lied. I wasn't lying. I did not have a toner for Beca. A boner, totally, but a toner? No way! A toner is way more serious than a sexual attraction, and that's all that was between Beca and I. Sexual attraction. "Beca and I are just really good friends."

"Sure." Aubrey said sarcastically. "Keep telling yourself that. Trust me, I haven't seen you stare at anyone the way you stare at her since we watched Magic Mike."

"Channing Tatum is a very attractive guy, and Beca is a really attractive girl." I took a forkful of eggs into my mouth. Aubrey pursed her looks and gave me her 'And?' face. "I like looking at attractive people, is that a crime?"

"You never look at me like that." Aubrey pointed out. "Am I not attractive enough for you?"

"You're like my sister." I could never see Aubrey as anything other than a part of my family. "As beautiful as you are, I am definitely not into you like that."

"So you do have a toner for her!" Aubrey pointed at me in excitement. "I knew it!" Aubrey's excitement turned into confusion rather quickly. "Wait, why? She is so under your league, she has tattoos, and piercings, and she wears way too much eyeliner."

"I have a tattoo. The little ladybug. I think her piercings are cool, and the eyeliner makes her eyes pop." I defended. Aubrey gave me a knowing look and I groaned. "Yes! Okay! I have a toner for Beca." Oh my God... I did. I do. I have a massive crush on Beca Mitchell. This wasn't supposed to happen, we were just supposed to be friends. Friends who occasionally had sex together. Friends who did a lot of kinky shit together. Friends. Just friends.

Aubrey sighed. "I personally don't see the attraction, but hey, you do you. Just don't let your toner for her get in the way of the needs of the Bella's. Okay?" Aubrey ruffled my hair and walked away and I was left with a plate of eggs and a confused mind.

After rehearsals, Aubrey held a meeting to discuss our next gig. "So we have a competition coming up soon, in Las Vegas. I expect all of you to be on your game for this." Aubrey smiled. "Beca, I would like to thank you, for reaching out to Chloe for help. It does seem to be working."

Beca gave me a look. "Yeah, totally. Chloe is very helpful." I blushed and gave her a small smile. Aubrey glanced between the two of us, and I knew she was picking something up, so I looked away.

"Anyways, this competition is going to mean a lot for us. We leave in one week, and that means we will be working our asses off during rehearsals. So be prepared to work harder than we ever have before." Aubrey released us all from her lecture.

As I was walking out Beca caught up with me. "Seriously? I needed help with the Bella's routine?" Beca asked in a semi-agitated tone.

I let out a slight chuckle "I couldn't think of anything else! What am I going to help you study? We have different majors. I can't help with mixes, I'd probably wipe out your entire hard-drive on accident." I told her, causing Beca to laugh. "Hey! It worked didn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah." Beca and I walked into the small campus cafe and got on line for our coffee. "You're lucky you're so pretty, Beale." I blushed instantly at her comment and my heart jumped. She calls me sexy and all sorts of unrepeatable things when we do it, but she calls me pretty and that makes me swoon. Seriously? Get it together Beale!

Jesse Swanson, someone I recognized from the Treble's and the radio station where Beca works, walked into the cafe. He saw us (Or just Beca) and rushed over, a huge goofy grin on his face. "Hey, Beca! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later tonight?"

"Oh, hey Jesse! You know, I would love to but I'm gonna be kind of busy tonight." Beca told him. "I'll be a little tied up." I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing at her stupid reference to our sex life. "Maybe another time? I'll text you when I'm free. You better find something for us to do besides stacking CD's!"

Jesse nodded, a smaller smile on his face, but still a smile nonetheless. He left the cafe and I couldn't help but feel a little green-eyed monster in my chest. "Oh my God, he has such a huge thing for you." I said with a hint of jealousy. "You have such a way with men and women, making them fall for you left and right."

"But you're still standing? Right?" Beca asked nervously. "You're not falling for me, are you?"

"No! No of course not!" I laughed it off. "We have an agreement, that won't happen, trust me." Beca just nodded and we walked up to the barista to order our coffees. I knew if I was going to continue what Beca and I had going, I was going to have to take my heart to the top of Mt. Everest and throw it off the side.
