♡ The Girl Behind The Microphone ♡

♡ Thirty-Six ♡

Chloe's hand was in front of Beca's. Her fingers were laced with the younger woman's. They walked into the lobby where the girl's waited. Beca was pretty sure Amy would call them out for holding hands.

"Hey!" Chloe smiled.

"Oi! They're here! We can go now!" Amy announced.

"Alright. Let's walk!" Aubrey announced and they all cleared out of the lobby.

They all started to walk in a group to the diner. Except Beca and Chloe hung back a bit. They were walking behind the group a few steps back. Both still holding each other's hands.

"Give it till the end of the day?" Beca asked.

"Oh you just don't want to give me twenty bucks" Chloe giggled.

"How are they not noticing this?" Beca asked.

"Well, for one they're all hungry" Chloe said. "Two, I always forced to you to be cuddly with me"

"Oh you set me up! You just wanted a twenty!" Beca said.

"You fell for it" Chloe smirked.

"Bitch" Beca muttered and they got to the diner soon after.

They all went back to the table that they had sat at previously for dinner. Beca and Chloe sat next to each other quickly before anyone could object. Beca sat at the end of the table with Chloe next to her and Amy across from her.

"You both sat down fast" Amy commented.

"Hungry" Beca shrugged and they started to look through the menus.

Beca was skimming the menu as she heard the muffled chattering amongst the ladies around her. Chloe was telling Amy her crazy dream that she remembered she dreamt. The ginger had already chose on blueberry pancakes.

The brunette though was still reading the menu trying to decide on what she wanted. She was reading one food item when she felt Chloe place her hand on Beca's inner thigh. Beca couldn't help but smirk a bit. It felt nice not having to worry about them being caught.

"You choose?" Chloe asked.

"Probably just chocolate chip pancakes" Beca looked up from the menu to see the ginger giving her a smile.

"Alright" Chloe said.

"Morning ladies!" Jake smiled.

"Oh no.." Beca muttered remembering her flirting moment with him the night before.

"What can I get you?" He started with one side and Beca looked at Chloe's face.

Chloe was rubbing Beca's inner thigh; not even looking at Beca. She was looking at Jake; watching his every move that he would make. Mainly she was making sure he wouldn't get any ideas with Beca. He soon made his way over; giving a smirk to Beca.

"Morning sunshine," He said. "What can I get you?"

"I-"

"She will have an iced coffee light and sweet and chocolate chip pancakes" Chloe cut off.

"Yeah, that" Beca smiled.

"Alright.." Jake muttered and Chloe then gave him her order. "Alright, I'll be back!" He smiled and walked away.

"Did you think I would flirt through my order?" Beca whispered.

"I-" Chloe cut herself off. "I have no idea. You saw that smirk and he called you sunshine" The ginger muttered.

Beca chuckled a bit and just felt Chloe rest her head on Beca's shoulder. She couldn't help but give a small kiss on Chloe's forehead. She was sure someone would notice, but nobody even glanced over.

"Wow they are really blind" Beca chuckled.

"Want to just give me my twenty now?" Chloe smirked as she lifted her head back up to look at Beca.

"Till the end of the day" Beca defended.

Both girl's look at the other girl's seeing them all engage in an argument over some tv show. Of course Beca was a bit lost, but she was used to that by now.

"Here are your drinks!" Jake smiled as he returned and gave everyone their drinks they ordered.

"Thank you" Beca smiled and took a sip from the coffee.

"So how long are you ladies in town for?" Jake asked Beca.

"Till our bus is fixed" Beca replied.

"Well maybe you and I could go on a date sometime?" He asked.

Beca reached under the table where Chloe was squeezing her thigh. She just tangled their hands together and let Chloe squeeze her hand instead. It was hysterical to Beca how Chloe was obviously holding back from murdering this guy.

"I can't," Beca said. "Life is really busy"

"It's cool, I get it" He said and quickly rushed away.

"What a lie" Chloe snickered.

"Well, I want to keep my twenty!" Beca defended.

"Whatever" Chloe said with a smirk and started to engage in the argument with the other girl's. Again though, Beca was just lost to what they were even arguing over.

Beca watched though how Chloe would crinkle her eyes up each time she giggled. The way Chloe pointed her finger when trying to make a statement or defend her side of the argument. The brunette knew she was hopelessly head over heels for this woman.

"Come on, Beca. What do you think?" Cynthia-Rose asked and all the girls agreed; turning their heads to Beca.

Beca didn't hear her ask though. She was just staring at Chloe until Chloe turned her head; giving her thigh a small squeeze. The redhead's face turned a bit red as the silence grew waiting for Beca's answer, but Beca just kept staring at Chloe.

The younger woman was completely zoned out. Her mind wandered into it's own land of, well, Chloe. She wondered if it was healthy to be this attracted and in love with some girl you met just months ago.

Just months ago Beca was angry and quiet. Life wasn't going her way. She loved being on the radio station, but nothing else gave her the fulfilment of life. She craved love even if she wouldn't admit to it. But now, she was happy. Her lips had never curved into a smile that much in forever.

The redhead pushed her way through Beca's bitterness. Of course Beca never realized what Chloe was doing by having them so close and always talking. But, she was making her way into Beca's heart.

"Beca" Amy said; trying to get the uncomfortable silence to end.

Chloe was unsure what Beca was doing. Beca had never stared this hard at her before.

"Bec'" Chloe whispered. "We-"

She was cut off by Beca kissing her on her lips quickly, right in front of all the girls.
