Chloe sauntered into the music hall after peering through the window, seeing that Beca had a free period and was doing a bit of paperwork with her headphones over her ears, foot tapping away to the beat of the song. Chloe took a while to just admire her girlfriends beauty. Girlfriend. It felt good that her and Beca had finally started their relationship and Chloe couldn't be happier. Some of her students had noticed her strangely good moods and commented on them sometime, no one knew why but they still asked, enjoying seeing the slight blush on Chloe's cheek.

The redhead sat at one of the desks facing Beca, she was surprised the brunette hadn't seen her come in but she had her headphones on and was obviously playing one of her mixes due to the fact she was miming the words perfectly and occasionally tapping her pen against her lip or cheek. Chloe rested her head on her hands and tilted her head to the side and watched Beca until the other woman noticed her a few minutes later.
"Shit! Urghhh Chloeee," the brunette groaned as she dragged out her name, "I swear you love to do that," she huffed.
"Every single time Babe," Chloe smiled, her head still on her hands.
"Wait, how long have you been there," Chloe just shrugged, still focused on Beca's face, scanning every inch of her skin as if she was never to see it again, a look of slight adoration on her face, "and w-why are you looking at me like that?" Beca began blushing as she awkwardly rose from her chair and began walking towards Chloe, the redheads gaze still softly following her.
"Like what Beca?" Chloe asked innocently, trying to keep a straight face, knowing she was getting under her skin.
"Like, like you are!" Beca then crouched down at the other side of the table, facing Chloe and scrunched her eyebrows together, Chloe's gaze still on her.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Chloe shrugged as her eyes met Beca's blue ones. Chloe couldn't help but let out a chuckle as Beca screwed up her nose. The brunette stuck her tongue out and mumbled something at Chloe as the woman simply giggled before getting up and turning back around to walk away.

Chloe jumped up from her chair and glided towards the back of Beca, wrapping her arms around her waist, stopping her from walking any further,
"Nooo, sorry Becs," Chloe smiled as she rested her head on the brunettes shoulder. She soon sunk into the touch and put her hands on where Chloe's were latched around her waist, signalling she wanted to turn around. Beca spun rough and simply smirked at Chloe, who was pulling her best puppy eyes,
"Those damn puppy eyes Beale," she said, staring into Chloe's eyes.
"Work... Every... Time," Chloe said as she neared Beca with every word before giving her a light kiss on her lips then spinning back around to sit down. Beca grabbed her wrist and spun her back round, reconnecting their lips for a deeper kiss before letting the redhead go again,
"That's more like it," Beca chucked as she followed Chloe. "So, here for a reason or just to sit and stare at me some more?"
"Can't help that you're beautiful," Chloe winked, "but aside from that yeah I am here for a reason. I'm here coz I want to ask you out, properly, on a date, tonight," Chloe smiled broadly.
"Dude no way, I asked you out so I should be taking you on our first date," Beca replied, eyeing Chloe.
"No can do Beca, I insist and am not taking no for an answer. So I'll pick you up at 6. See you later," Chloe reached across the table to give Beca a quick kiss before she could say another word before laughing and bolting out of the door, ignoring Beca's mumbled protests.

6 o'clock came and least to say Beca was nervous. Of course it wasn't the first time the pair had been out together but it was their first proper date. Beca knew Chloe quite well so she knew that the conversation would be easy and free flowing but she still felt butterflies. She was dressed in one of the dresses she had bought when she went shopping with Chloe a few weeks ago. The girl had practically begged for her to try a dress on with her and then insisted she bought it. The brunette finally caved and bought the dress, knowing that the girl would like her to wear it a few times.
Thinking of Chloe, their was a few taps on the door and Beca swung it open to reveal Chloe, also in a dress.
"Oh my gosh! Beca! You're wearing the dress, Awh you look gorgeous babe," she smiled sincerely, grabbing the brunettes hand and making her do a twirl, a frown on her face as Chloe laughed.
"Yeah I'm wearing the dress, can we go I feel... Exposed," she laughed.
"Yeah, not covered by your usual skinny jeans eh," Chloe laughed, "seriously though you should wear dresses more often, you look hot!" Chloe gave Beca a kiss on her cheek before showing her to her car and following her before driving off.

The two arrived at a restaurant about a 20 minute drive away. It was a nice place, sophisticated yet cosy, the pair walked in hand in hand and were shown to a nice table in the corner of the room.
"Good choice Chlo, I like it," Beca smirked at Chloe.
"You are talking about the diner right, not me?" Chloe joked.
"Well both options look pretty fine to me," Beca laughed as she let her eyes take down the length of Chloe, finally meeting her eyes again and smiling.
The two placed their orders and began talking,
"So, Beca Mitchell, tell me. Why teaching?" Chloe asked, intrigued.
"Oh gosh... Well I started mixing at 17 and at around 18 I really aspired to be something to do with mixing, maybe a music producer or a DJ, my dad even said he would fund me to go to LA if I really wanted, but I chose to stay for a while and see what will happen. Then my dad talked to me for a while when I was about 20 and offered me a teaching position, a music teacher, I thought I could always go back to my LA dream later so I took it. Now's my third year at Barden and i love it." She smiled, "how about you,"
"Well, in middle school I always loved drama lessons and would often get involved in school productions and that. I told you I used to be in an acapella group in college so I did a bit of singing and dancing so that helped me get into some bigger roles in bigger prouductions. Then one day my best friend Ashley, who was on a math teaching course, kind of opened that door for me. It looked fun and I knew I cold do it so I did a few jobs here and there, some volunteering and I worked in a school for 2 years but I feel it didn't push me enough so I came here," Chloe smiled, "and I'm glad I did," Chloe placed her hand atop of Beca's.
"Me too." Beca smiled. It was at that moment their food arrived and the two made light conversation as they enjoyed their meal.

"So, other than the new people at Barden, who do you spend your time with Beale," Beca quirked her eyebrow.
"Well.. I told you about Ashley, but she's over in Canada so I don't see her much, but I made some other friends in college. I still talk occasionally to a guy named Tom, he kinda had a crush on me, and another guy named Unicycle, I never knew his real name.... But anyways, Cynthia Rose was probably the girl I was most close to other than Ashley and she now works in the police force and I see her occasionally. Most of my friends I don't talk to much to be honest, but I'm fine with that. I always seem to make new friends," Chloe smiled.
"I can see why," Beca winked.
"What about you?"
"Well, I don't really have many friends out of Barden... I tended to keep myself to myself, but I did have a neighbour in my old apartment, she called herself Fat Amy, but we became really close and I guess she's my other best friend other than Jesse. Oh and I also talk to a girl called Jessica who I met through Amy and one of Amy's many boyfriends, Donald." The brunette said.
"Sweet, I'll have to meet them one day and you can meet Ash,"
The pair then asked for the bill and Beca insisted to pay, Chloe simply denied this and said that as she asked Beca out, she would pay and the DJ could pay next time.

The two left the restaurant hand in hand with content smiles in their faces. Chloe drove Beca back to her home and followed her up the drive.
"Thanks for tonight Chlo, I had an awesome time," Beca said sincerely as she spun round on her hill to stare at Chloe's eyes softly.
"It was my pleasure Becs," Chloe smiled.
"Urgh come here," Beca smirked as she pulled Chloe in for a heated make out on her doorstep.
Chloe pulled away and kissed Beca lighty on the cheek and smiled sweetly,
"See you tomorrow," she held Beca's hand as she walked away and slowly dropped it.
"Bye chlo," Beca smiled, waving her off
'Wow' Beca thought.

A/N:
I'm not sure if I originally said Beca's best friend to be Jessica... But they'll both be in the story so it doesn't matter really hehe!
