Secrets

The Parents, Round Two

The next morning was thankfully a Saturday, meaning the two girls stayed huddled up to each other, sleeping until well after eleven o'clock. Chloe was the first to stir and as she opened her eyes, she remembered where she was and relaxed again, resting her head on Beca's boobs.

"Morning baby." Chloe said as the smaller brunet opened her eyes.

"Morning Chlo." Beca replied, sitting up and checking her phone. "Oops, guess we slept in."

"Yeh. Hey Becs, it's the holidays coming up soon and my parents said you should come and stay with us. You wanna?" Beca smiled at her and lent down to kiss Chloe's lips. "I'm gonna take that as a yes." Chloe said, smiling and pulling Beca into more kisses.

The two girls got out of the taxi in front of a newly looking building which smooth white walls and lots of windows. It must have been at least three stories high and have a lot of spare rooms.

Chloe headed up the steps to the front door, stopped and walked back again, reaching Beca half way and almost bumping into her.

"Sorry." Chloe mumbled. "I just want them to take it as well as your dad did and I really don't think that's gonna happen." Beca held Chloe's hand, kissed her and signalled for them to walk to the door again. On knocking a ginger woman with brown eyes opened the door and smiled, pulling her daughter into a hug.

"My baby girls finally home." The woman said, pulling away and placing her hands on Chloe's face before kissing her on the forehead.

"Hey mom." Chloe said awkwardly.

"Don't say it like that, you could at least sound a little happy." Chloe smiled at her and hugged her again.

"Hey Mrs Beale, nice to meet you." Beca said, putting her hand out, but instead she was pulled into a tight hug.

"Nice to meet you too, and please, call me Ruby."Beca bit her bottom lip, trying not to laugh at the fact someone named their ginger daughter Ruby. Chloe caught the smirk and nudged Beca, giving her a look.

The two girls entered the house and Beca was shocked at the size of it. "It's bigger on the inside." Beca said, quoting one of her favourite British TV shows. Chloe laughed and grabbed Beca's hand again, leading her up the stairs to her bedroom.

"Yeyks." Beca commented through gritted teeth. She had anticipated Chloe's room to be a little over the top but no to this level. Everything, literally everything, was hot pink (and not the singer). From her bed sheets and walls to every little cuddly toy was bright pink.

"Don't even say it Michael." Was all Chloe could muster from her girlfriends horrified face. "I haven't been here since I was like fifteen remember."

"Wait what, why?" Chloe looked at Beca, confused at first but then a sudden realisation came over her. Chloe slapped her hand to her mouth before rushing forward.

"Oh my aca-g. I didn't tell you. I'm sorry Princess."

"Princess?....Really?" This earned Beca a slap on the arm and to be dragged down stairs with Chloe mumbling something about her finding out later.

Beca had only been at the Beale residence for just over twenty four hours and had already lost most of the circulation below her torso from Chloe's mother hugging the two of them every time they had a flirty moment or shared a few small kisses. Chloe's brother, however, was a bit more toned down from the touchy side. This resulted in the two girls, or more Beca with Chloe refusing to leave her side, hiding out in the boys 'den'.

"Really dude?.." One of the boys asked, getting fed up with Beca nonsense. "I'm Thomas, or Tom. That's Toby."

"Geez, sorry, I'm just shit with names. Now get back on the controller so I can carry one beating you asses." They both co-operated and continued with their video games, with Chloe sat across Beca's lap and flicking her brother controllers out of their hands every time her girlfriend was falling behind.

The games continued on for another few hours before Mrs. Beale called everyone upstairs for dinner, yet stopping Chloe in the hall way and whispering something to her.

"What was that about?" Beca asked, gripping her girlfriends hand, only for it to be let go and give a warning glare from Chloe. This confused the small brunet at first before she could see the pain behind the glare. She gave Chloe a comforting smile and quickly squeezed her hand before releasing it again.

Once inside the kitchen, Chloe could see her father sat at the table, hands together as if he was praying and his chin resting on his thumbs. As soon as he spotted his daughter he rested his arms on the table, interlocking his fingers and leaning forward to glare at her.

Beca could see Chloe was already shaking at the sight of this guy and her breathing intensified. Chloe had always been the relaxed one when the other Bella's were freaking out so she knew this was not good.

However, Beca still found herself walking up to the man, his black hair greying and his eyes an odd delicate green that still managed to give her an unhiemlich sense of disposition.

As she neared the man she extended her arm towards him, her words stumbling out of her mouth before she could stop them. "Hey, I'm Beca, Beca Michael. Nice to meet you."
