Happier

-5-

Jenna and I went downstairs about an hour later, I was wearing her shirt and she mine.

"Hi guys." I said in a cheery voice. Jenna was right behind me smiling like crazy, like I had told her to.

"Hi." She said.

"Someone is happy." Stacie said.

"Yeah." I sighed and smiled.

"I love this woman." Jenna said and wrapped her arms around my waist.

"Love you too, Baby." I said and kissed her head.

"Aww you two make a really cute couple." Stacie said.

I looked at Jenna the way I would Beca and she smiled. This was working!

Everyone had arrived and the party was crazy. I knew that when Beca drank beer, it made her have to pee, like really bad. So, I watched her all night. Once she was on her second beer, I had to ask Lilly a huge favor.

"Hey Lilly." I whispered. She turned her head towards me. "Can you go in the downstairs bathroom? Don't let Beca in." She gave me a confused look. "Please." She nodded and went inside. "Thank you."

"What's going on?" Jenna asked.

"You and I are going to have a heavy make out session, my friend." I said.

"What?" She asked.

"Follow me." I led her to the upstairs bathroom, didn't close the door all the way and lifted her onto the counter. "Now we wait."

"What are you going to do?" She asked.

"When Beca comes upstairs, I'm going to kiss you, really hard." I explained. "Like my hands are going to be all over you. Just a warning."

"Okay." She smiled.

"You're the best friend a girl could ask for." I said because it was true. She was the most amazing friend in the world.

I heard Beca's soft footsteps ascending the stairs. "Ready?" I whispered and Jenna nodded. She straddle me while sitting on the counter and I put my hands on her thighs while we kissed. It looked pretty believable and poor Beca was about to walk right in on it.

The second Beca opened the door, Jenna moaned. "Chloe."

"Oh God! I'm so sorry! I just really have to pee." Beca said. "Please, pretend I was never in here." She started to walk away.

"Close the door." I said between kisses.

"Okay." Beca replied and obeyed.

"Well, I really hope that worked." I said, pulling away from Jenna who was still in the zone.

"Kiss me again." Jenna said sweetly.

"What?" I asked.

"Just do it." She smiled.

"I can't." I said.

"Beca will never want you back. She really loves that Jesse guy." Jenna said. "But I'm totally falling for you."

"Okay, Jen. You're drunk." I said.

"No I'm not! I only had a Cola." She said.

"Well, you're straight." I said. This could not be happening.

"Not after that kiss." She said.

I backed away. "Jenna, I can't do this. I still love Beca and it's unfair to you. I'm really sorry. You're like a sister to me. It would be weird if we dated."

"Can we date just for tonight and see how we like it?" She smirked.

"Jen, we're already doing that."

"No but this time for real. Like the looks and kisses and hopefully more than kisses, if you know what I mean, are real."

"I guess it won't hurt." I said. "But if I still don't want to date you, we are still friends, right?"

"Right." She smiled. "Now kiss me."

I picked her up, still straddling me and kissed her for real.

"Oh my." She sighed. "That was even better than the fake one."

We burst into my bedroom, Jenna in my arms, at about one in the morning. I dropped her on the bed and started to take off my shirt. This was going way farther than I intended it to.
