You were the light in the darkness

Chapter 28

BECAS POV
I decided to take Chloe to this beautiful Italian restaurant that holds a strong part of my heart. As I drive I can feel myself growing more nervous. Chloe obviously senses this as she places her hand on my thigh and whispers.
"Beca,babe calm down. You don't need to worry,it's only a date."
The way she looks at me and the softness in her voice reassures me and I begin to clam down,ish.
Ten minutes later I finally park the car and help Chloe out. She takes my hand and intertwines our fingers. We make our way through the car park towards the entrance.
"Becs,this place is beautiful,I've always wanted to come here but I know it's really popular,how did you even manage to get a reservation?"
"That doesn't matter Chloe" I say with panic in my voice. "Let's just go inside"
As we entered the restaurant an old man approached us.
"Miss Mitchell,welcome back" I smiled.
"Ricardo how many times do I have to tell you please just call me Beca. It's good to be back though I've missed this place"
"Your usual table is ready for you and your lovely lady. Stephan will be your waiter this evening" I nodded as we made our way to a beautiful candle lit table for two in the back corner of the room.
CHLOES POV
I can't believe this. Beca some how managed to get a table at one of the most popular restaurants in Atlanta and some how seems to know all the staff here. As we sit down at our perfectly placed table,I end up in my own little world looking around the room.
" Chlo?" Beca calls my name.
"Hmm? Sorry babe I kind of zoned out admiring how beautiful this place is" she giggles.
"Yeah I noticed. I asked what you wanted to drink?"
"Oh,maybe some wine if that's ok?" She smiles at me and signals to the waiter. The young man makes his way over to us.
"Stephan hi,how have you been?"
"Miss Mitchell...I mean Beca. I've been great thank you. What can I get you and this beautiful redhead this evening?"
"Can I get a bottle of the most expensive champagne please?
"Of course you can. I bring the straight over with some menus" He smiled at Beca and walked away. I just looked at my girlfriend confused.
"What?" She asks.
"The most expensive bottle of champagne? I only wanted a glass of wine"
"Don't worry about it ok? I can afford it and I'm treating you tonight" she smiles at me,god I love her smile.
Once our champagne arrives and beca happily fills our glasses we order our dinner.
"So are you going to tell me how everyone here knows who you are or am I going to have to guess?" I ask nervously not sure how she'll respond.
"Um so you know how I told you about my mum?" I nod and take her hand in mine. "Well before she died this place was hers and she left it to me,so now I guess i kind of own it" after a few seconds I finally responded.
" you own this place?"
"Uh huh" she replies.
"And you're telling me that your mom is Janet Walters? She is one of the most well known business women in the state,Hell the country"
"Yeah that would be my mom. Obviously when she married my dad she became a Mitchell but kept her maiden name for business reasons. And for some reason she decided to leave me this and I kept all the staff working and now Ricardo basically runs the place so I can focus on my music and college" I just sit there god smacked not sure what to say.
"This doesn't change anything does it? You still want to be with me right? Not just because I have money but because you want too?"
"Of course Beca,I'll always want to be with you money or no money. This doesn't change anything" I squeeze her hand lightly before raising it to my lips and places a soft kiss on the back of it.
"Thank you Chloe,you have no idea how much that means to me for you to say that. I've never told anyone this before and I'm glad you understand"
NO ONES POV
After a lovely meal Beca and Chloe made their way back to the Bella's house. Once they arrived Beca stopped the car and turned to Chloe.
"Thank you for tonight,I had a really great time" she said as she held the door open for her girlfriend.
"Me too Becs. Are you sure I can't convince you to stay tonight?" Chloe asked with a wink and a hint of desperation in her voice.
"Not tonight babe,I have some stuff to do early in the morning and I don't want wake you up. But another time,I promise"
"Ok I'm remembering that Mitchell" Chloe giggled in response. Beca walked her girlfriend to the front door before kissing her softly yet desperately.
"Goodnight Chlo"
"Goodnight Becs,drive safely and make sure you text me when you get back to your dorm"
"Will do babe. See you at rehearsals tomorrow"
And with their goodbyes said Chloe headed inside and went to straight to her room to avoid questions from Aubrey. She laid on the bed with her phone in her hand and the biggest smile on her face.
