The Right Time

Chapter Forty

It was eleven at night, and Chloe and Beca were at the airport. They had been waiting patiently for the Bella girls to arrive for half an hour.

Suddenly, a chorus of ecstatic squeals and excited cheers pierced the sereneness of the waiting room. It was Stacie, Emily and Flo. Not long after they were welcomed by Chloe and Beca, the rest of the Bellas came in dribs and drabs. They were all bundles of energy, despite the time of night.

'I'm so glad I managed to get a bikini wax before I came', Fat Amy said once they had all calmed down.

'Amy, we're going to Switzerland- you won't need a bikini', Chloe replied, her face was full of concern; her eyebrows furrowed.

'We're not going to Spain? My whole suitcase is bikinis, sunglasses, hats and sunscreen'

'No- we're not going to Spain!', Chloe exclaimed, 'Oh my god, we're going to have to hit the stores as soon as we arrive and-'

Before Chloe could finish her rambling train of thought, she noticed that Beca and Fat Amy were sniggering.

'What?'

'You're right, Short Stack, that was funny', Amy laughed, making Beca and the rest of the girls giggle too.

'That was so not funny', Chloe told her, although she couldn't help but join in with the laughter when Beca gave her a friendly hug.

'Guys', Cynthia said, 'The flight is boarding- let's go'

'Let's go! This will be the most amaze-balls trip ever- oh my god!', the redhead shouted.

Chloe had so much anticipation built up inside of her that she was just about ready to burst- she was practically skipping as she went through the airport. Beca meanwhile, stayed behind her and rubbed at her eyes, making light conversation with Emily. She was pretty tired, but there was something about seeing the pure joy eminating from her girlfriend that kept her feeling awake.
------------------------------------
On the plane, Beca had fallen asleep on Chloe's shoulder. The redhead was peacefully listening to music on her iPod, unable to sleep. A hour or so into the journey, Beca woke up to Chloe gently poking her.

'Look out the window', Chloe whispered.

'Wow', Beca replied as she leaned forward to gaze at the billions of city lights beneath them, 'That's beautiful'

'I know'

'Not as beautiful as you', Beca added, kissing the girl on the cheek as she sat up straight.

'Are you looking forward to our vacation together?', Chloe smiled.

'Of course I am. We have quite a few more hours on the plane first though, so you might want to start sleeping'

'I can't get comfortable enough...and I'm too excited'

The brunette folded up the arm rest, then put an arm around Chloe.

'I'll be your pillow', she told the redhead.

Chloe nuzzled into her chest, and they both fell asleep almost instantly.
--------------------------------------------------
'OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO AWESOME!', Emily shouted at the top of her lungs.

The Bellas had arrived at their hotel, and were checking out each others' rooms, running through the corridors.

'Look how big my mini-fridge is!', Emily announced to Stacie and Aubrey, who responded with 'oohs'.

Meanwhile, Beca was gazing out of the window at the picturesque scenery. For what seemed like miles and miles, there were snow-topped mountains and baby-blue lakes. This was the reason Beca had always wanted to go to Switzerland; the scenery had such a relaxing effect on her.
