The Hot New Teacher

Chapter 41: Fall

"Hey, are you doing anything with your family on your birthday?" Beca asked as she stroked her finger up Chloe's arm as they lay together once again in the brunettes bed on a Saturday morning.
"Mmm, not that I know of," Chloe hummed as she took Beca's hand in her own.
"You'll let me know if you're doing anything right, I mean I obviously want to take you out but if you're busy then it's fine, y'know," Beca rambled.
"You're such a weirdo, you know I'd rather go out with you," Chloe laughed as she pushed Beca lightly with her palm.
"Oh alright then it's on Beale, be prepared for the day or night of your life," Beca smirked.
"Oh I see how it is, how fortunate for it to be next Saturday, who knows maybe it'll be both day and night," Chloe rolled her eyes playfully.
"Y'know what they say, no sleep Saturday's,"
"That could be interpreted many ways," Chloe raised an eyebrow.
"You pick whichever one you want babe," Beca winked as she ran a hand up Chloe's thigh over the sheets.
"Sex drive like a bunny you have,"
"Only for you," Beca winked and she flicked over to glance at her alarm clock. "Ugh we should probably get up... It's fucking midday," she laughed as she swung her legs over the bed and pulled herself to her feet, offering her hand to Chloe as she chucked her a t-shirt.

"What're we doing today then?" Chloe asked as she and Beca were having 'brunch' at the kitchen island.
"I fancy going out, but not out anywhere fancy.... For a walk, me n you," Beca smiled.
"A walk it is," Chloe nodded and Beca grinned in return.
"So the Bella's are withstanding Bree's orders quite well," Chloe laughed.
"Yeah, as long as she doesn't see them mouthing certain words behind her back it's totally fine," Beca chuckled.
"Their first competition went pretty well though, right?"
"Yeah, guess so, apparently our choreo was a bit off, like normal, and we didn't win but that doesn't matter we didn't do awful, still got another one coming up,"
"Criticism is always good," Chloe smiled.
"Always so damn optemistic,"
"C'mon Becs you know they're not a bad group, far from it, you know they can win if they really try, we just have to help them a bit more,"
"Yeah I know it's just hard," Beca groaned, "I've never really been good at leading people to do anything," she shrugged.
"That's why you've got me n Bree n Stacie," Chloe grinned as she kissed Beca lightly on the cheek and hung in her doorway, "can I borrow a shirt?" She pouted.
"Would I ever say no," Beca smirked as she rose and began to wash the pairs dishes.

"White hot chocolate, here," Beca said as she handed Chloe a polystyrene cup. The pair had decided to grab something hot before they went on a walk, no where far just to get out and were now sat on a bench outside the small coffee shop.
"Thanks," Chloe smiled, "it's colder this year, don't you think?" She pondered.
"Wouldn't surprise me, the summer's getting hotter and the winter's colder," the brunette shrugged, "I like it though, I'm waiting for the first snow, should come in November,"
"Beca Mitchell, lover of snow... Who would've thought," Chloe laughed as she tucked one arm under Beca's and snuggled into her.
"C'mon, everyone likes snow, and if it snows so much then we get the day off work," Beca smirked.
"Oooh, I like the idea of that," Chloe laughed. The pair sat in silence for a while, simply listening to the gentle sway of the trees as the crisp air swept over them. The occasional crunch of the fall leaves as people walked through them and the birds that flew over their heads.

"You should keep that shirt y'know," Beca smiled after a while.
"Hm, think so?" Chloe asked as she looked down to her shirt. It was one of Beca's simple flannels, a chequered blue one that had slightly worn from the times the brunette had worn it.
"Yeah, suits you better, brings out your eyes and your hair," Beca hummed as she twirled a loose strand of Chloe's red head in her fingers.
"I like it, smells of you," Chloe laughed as Beca screwed her nose up slightly before giving in to the beaming smile that Chloe was giving her.
"Shall we go?" Beca asked as she stood up and offered her spare hand to the ginger, other hand still wrapped around the warmth from her coffee cup.
The pair immediately liked hands and began to gently stroll through the park.

"Nope, no way, nope," Beca laughed.
"But Becaa, come on, you can't seriously tell me you've never done it before, it's fall for god sake!" Chloe whined. Beca simply shook her head.
"Fine then I'll do it alone," Chloe sighed as she looked back to the giant pile of leaves she had built up in the past 10 minutes. She turned back around and gave a mock salute to the brunette before letting herself fall back on the pile of leaves, acting as a pillow and cushioning her fall with a crunch.
"Y'see, didn't even hurt," Chloe smiled as she rested herself on her elbows and stared up at the redhead.
"I'm glad chlo, really," Beca nodded and rolled her eyes, beginning to walk past the redhead. Until she felt something hit her back, she spun to see Chloe holding back a laugh with a determined look on her face.
"Did you just-" Beca was cut off when Chloe kicked another pile of leaves at her.
"Oh it's on Beale," Beca laughed as she ran to the pile of leaves and began picking them up and thrusting them in Chloe's direction as the redhead did the same to her. Eventually, when the two became too caught up with giggles and screams they collapsed atop the rather depleted leaf bed in fits of laughter, Chloe half leant across Beca.
"I knew you w-were a child at heart," Chloe laughed. Beca just chuckled as she brushed the leaves out of Chloe's hair.
"I guess you bring out they side of me," she grinned. Chloe rested her head on Beca's shoulder as their laughter ceased.
"I love you Beca Mitchell, as childish as you are," she whispered.
"You can barely talk babe," Beca grinned as Chloe lifted her head to level her gaze with a stare, "love you too," Beca grinned more as she kissed Chloe lightly.
