Fighting and Surprises

Beca sat in the hotel room. Her hand held the tv remote. Her thumb flipping the through all of the channels. It wasn't like she was paying to the any attention to the shows anyway.

Her mind was racing with thoughts. She should've said from day one that her and Chloe were married. Maybe then she wouldn't be so anxious about the idea of it now. She should've ripped the bandaid off of the subject then.

But, here she sat on the bed that had her wife's suitcase sitting next to her on it. Her stomach filled with nerves wondering when she would be back. She wasn't looking forward to this fight that she knew they would have. But, then again who would be?

She looked at the end table that had her iPhone 6. It was attached to the white charger cord. Chloe's voice rang in her head when she looked at it.

"Beca, iPhone 6 is old. You can afford new. Why not get it?" Chloe spoke in her head.

Chloe always wanted Beca to have the best. Beca wanted the same for Chloe. They agreed on alot, but this whole 'going public' thing was the biggest disagreement they've had at all.

Just as she was staring at the cell phone on the table; it buzzed. The screen lit up with the notification. The time was almost 5 o'clock in the evening.

She picked up the phone and swiped the screen to unlock; her fingers quickly tapping the numbers to her passcode. It was a simple passcode of 2012 which was the year she met Chloe.

Chloe: Going out with some of the cast for dinner and maybe the bar. Don't wait up.

Beca: I thought you were coming back to the hotel?

Chloe: Dinner, Beca. I'll be back late tonight.

Beca: Yeah, alright. Have fun.

Chloe put her phone in her purse as she walked into the restaurant with the group of people. She wanted to be back at the hotel with Beca, but she didn't want to fight.

Usually the redhead would just argue Beca lately and get it over with. This one seemed to scare her more though. The idea of the fight she knew she would walk into scared her.

"Chloe" She heard signaling her to the table.

"Yep" Chloe faked a smile and followed them over.

They all sat down; talking about the episode they just shot and the funny bloopers that had happened. Chloe pretended to play along, but Beca kept slipping back into her mind.

She pulled her phone out once more to see the lockscreen of Beca. Beca was standing on a chair for no reason. She had her arms thrown out and one foot in the air; sticking her tongue out at Chloe.

Chloe couldn't help but smile at her wife's goofiness. She wondered how she ended up so lucky to be able to see that side of Beca when nobody else did. She saw the real Beca and fell in love with that Beca.

She unlocked her phone and went back to their text messages. Of course the woman knew Beca was probably relieved at the situation and they didn't have to talk this out. Beca hated talking about feelings and shit like that. She would bottle it up and keep going on with life.

Chloe knew that Beca also knew how to order her own food and remember to eat. So, she just re-locked the phone and shoved it in her purse to re-join the conversation with the people at the table.

"So, what do you think Chloe?" Jake asked in his Australian accent.

"About?" Chloe asked.

"Staying in Australia for a few months so we can work on that fashion line-"
