"Chlo, I'm going to work, I'll be back around 1," Beca said the next morning.

"Ok, I'll be here," Chloe replied. "Have a good day."

"Thanks Chlo, see you later," Beca said, closing the door behind her. She felt bad leaving Chloe home alone all day, but there was no other way she could do her job.

Chloe wandered around the apartment with nothing to do before decided to turn on a movie. After the movie was over, she made herself some lunch and watched tv until Beca got home. "Hey Becs, how was work?"

"Good, I'm starving," Beca said, pulling out a yogurt from the refrigerator and collapsing on the couch next to Chloe. "What did you do all morning?"

"I watched a movie," Chloe replied. "What do you usually do when you get home from work?"

"I watch movies and clean, I guess," Beca replied, shrugging.

"But don't you ever go out and have fun?" Chloe asked with a laugh.

"Not really, I haven't dated anyone in 3 years," Beca laughed. "I'm kind of boring."

"But don't you want to have fun and go out?" Chloe asked, rolling her eyes at the small brunette.

"I have no one to go out with," Beca shrugged. "I guess I'd go out if I had someone who'd go with me."

"I'll go with you!" Chloe said happily. "Let's go out tonight! We'll go out to the clubs or something."

Beca laughed. "You're kidding."

"No way! It'll be so fun! We can get all dressed up and go out to eat and out shopping and then we can go for a few drinks."

"I don't know...." Beca replied hesitantly.

"Please Beca? We can't just stay cooped up all day, we'll lose our minds...well more than I already have." Chloe smirked.

Beca cracked a smile at Chloe. She loved how Chloe tried her best not to take her illness too seriously, especially since it would only stress her out if she did. "Oh alright," she sighed. "I guess I do sort of need to get out more."

"Yay!" Chloe threw her arms around me Beca and wrapped her in the tightest hug she had ever received.

Beca laughed as Chloe finally pulled away. "We'll go at about 5ish, is that ok?"

"Yeah, that's great," Chloe said, still smiling. "What do you want to do until then?"

"Well we do have to get ready considering I haven't actually done anything with my hair or put on a full face of makeup for a good year and a half now," Beca laughed.

Chloe smiled. "Alright let's go get ready!"

They ran to their room to put on their nicest dresses. Chloe's was a strapless black lace dress and Beca's was a long sleeved, skin tight, blue dress. Chloe decided to curl her hair and do darker makeup to match her dress. Beca straightened her hair and put on dark makeup too before running into Chloe's bathroom. "How do I look?"

"Hot!!!" Chloe exclaimed, smiling. "Like swipe right material hot."

Beca laughed. "Well thank you, you look pretty great too."

"Oh please this is the nicest I've ever looked in my life!" Chloe exclaimed, yet again. "Can I borrow your red lipstick, I feel like it would really complete the look."

"Sure, I'll be right back," Beca said. She came back with a red lipstick and tossed it to Chloe. "Do you have any oil blotting paper? My face is a mess and it's only been 2 minutes," Beca said with a sigh.

"Yeah," Chloe said, pulling a box of them out of her makeup bag. "Take like most of them, I have dry skin anyway."

Beca took a few of them from the box and put them in her purse. "Thanks Chlo."

"No problem," Chloe replied.

"Gosh, that lipstick looks amazing on you," Beca said. "Seriously though, is there a color you can't pull off?"

"Nope!" Chloe said pretentiously before bursting into a laugh.

Beca rolled her eyes. "You're a handful, Beale."

"You love me," Chloe smiled.

"Of course I do," Beca said back smiling. She could practically feel the tension between them. She desperately wanted to kiss Chloe and tell her she loves her in a romantic kind of way, but she couldn't, because Chloe wasn't in love with her. At least she didn't know it.

"We should get going for dinner," Chloe said, slipping on her shoes.

Beca put on her shoes and touched up on her lipstick.

"Woah how tall are those?" Chloe asked, laughing.

"6 inch heels, I walk in the club like nobody's business." Beca smiled.

"You did not just quote Beyonce," Chloe laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Oh hell yeah, I've been a fan of hers since Destiny's Child!" Beca said proudly.

"Wow, I never would've pegged you as a Beyonce fan."

"What weirdo music do you like?" Beca asked.

Chloe smiled. "Ok ok so when I was younger I had this huge obsession with Sisqó so I gotta say that."

"The thong song guy Chloe? Oh my god," Beca burst out laughing.

"Hey shut up, I heard you humming Kesha earlier!"

"Kesha is amazing!" Beca protested.

"Alright fine," Chloe said, climbing into the passenger seat.

They got to the restaurant and Beca slid in the booth next to Chloe. "The guy at this place always hits on me so can we pretend we're dating?" Ok, so maybe it wasn't the full truth but she had been hit on once at this restaurant. Plus this was the perfect opportunity for Chloe to get comfortable in a relationship with her.

"Oh of course!" Chloe said. "I've never fake dated before. How do I do it?"

"It's basically real dating but there's no meaning behind it," Beca replied with a shrug.

The rest of dinner went fairly successful with them fake dating and Beca seriously enjoyed having Chloe be really clingy and girlfriendy even if it was just fake. She just hoped that Chloe felt the same way she did because there wasn't much longer until Beca exploded and confessed all the feelings she had been trying to hide.
