Hold Up, I Love You?

Seven

(Beca's POV)

When we got home Chloe offered me to move in with her and Aubrey. Aubrey was a bit iffy about it, but decided to allow it as long as I stayed out of her way. I knew that if I was going to try and keep from ending up like my parents I had to put everything I had into this relationship, so I moved in as Chloe asked me to, which only took about two hours. I sat on Chloe's bed, no our bed, while Chloe finished putting the new touches on the now shared bedroom. "This will be fun, don't you think?"

"Oh yeah, getting married at nineteen and being scared of commitment, lots of fun." I said sarcastically. "Not to mention the addition of anxiety. This will be great, I am so stoked for this."

Chloe gave me an eye-roll and sat down next to me. She pulled me into her arms, rubbed my back, and placed random kisses on my forehead and cheeks. "I promise you we'll make things work. I love you, you love me, and that's all we need."

"You sound like those damn young adult romance novels." I groaned. "Oh God... Wait until I tell my parents. My dad and Sheila will freak, I have no idea how my mom will handle it. I'm more scared of her than my father though."

"Didn't you say she's in the military?" Chloe asked.

I nodded "Yeah, she's in the army." I leaned into Chloe, laying down onto her lap. Chloe stroked through my hair and smiled down at me. "What?"

"You just look... beautiful. I love looking at you, it makes me happy." Chloe kissed my nose, which made me smile a little. "There she is! There's the smiley Beca I love."

"Love? Love... I think you are the only person besides my parents to ever tell me that they loved me." I told her. "I'm not a very lovable person."

"I think you're extremely lovable. Your beautiful eyes, your amazing body, your sense of humor, the way you laugh, how you always have some kind of sarcastic comment to make, the way you sing, your hidden soft side, the hard exterior, and my favorite, the way you say you love me." Chloe said. She spoke with such certainty and so much love, her voice was soft and slow, and her hand ran through my hair at the same speed. "You don't notice it, but you say that you love me in a lot of different ways. By always making sure I'm okay, the passion you put into a kiss, the little looks you give me during rehearsals or when you see me on campus, how you get me coffee without even asking because you know just what I want, and verbally. Which I have only heard once, but it is my favorite thing to ever come out of your mouth."

"I always noticed the ways you said that you loved me. All being similar to the ways you just named. I never wanted to accept it, I felt it, I felt those feelings for you too, but I didn't want to." I admitted. "Within three years I have had seven different friends with benefits relationships, and the only one to ever mean anything to me is ours. With the other six, I felt nothing. But with you, I feel it in my body, I feel it in my mind, and I feel it in my stomach... but mostly, I feel it in my heart. And it scares the shit out of me." I took a deep breath and Chloe pressed her lips together. "But, Chloe Bea- Chloe Mitchell, I am in love with you. And believe it or not, I really do hope we can work this out." I wanted to work it out so I didn't have a failed marriage like my parents for the most part, but I also really did love Chloe. If I had to choose anyone to spend the rest of my life with, it would be her. I just never thought I'd have to choose.

Chloe lay down, and I moved myself so I was cuddling into her instead of laying on her lap. Chloe went to kiss my forehead, but I moved so our lips met, she kissed back and it was a sweet sensual kiss. It felt like only a few moments, but a bit of time had passed by, and we just laid there. Aubrey walked in, and she quickly covered her eyes "Sorry, I'm use to just being able to walk in whenever I want."
