Bechloe - Like A Record, Baby

Chapter VII

Beca's POV

"Wow..." Chloe pants next to me.

"Yeah... Wow..." I agree one hundred percent - wow.

I'm lying in my bed next to Chloe with our hands folded between us. I feel like I've known Chloe for years. We got back to my place and just talked for hours on end. We talked about pretty much everything there is to talk about. I got to know her on a fun level and also a deep and personal level. Chloe feels very hard and has a big heart. She talked about her job with so much passion and love it was quite inspiring. We're so different from each other but that's why I'm so attracted to her. She's so bright, bubbly, upbeat, happy, carefree, positive, optimistic, caring, and loving, while I'm the opposite. Why she's interested in me is beyond my understanding but she's with me and that's all I care about.

It's just past two in the morning and Chloe and I are lying in my bed. Together. Under the sheets. Naked. Yes, we just did it and it was probably the stupidest thing I've ever done but it was also the best. It was stupid since we've only known each other properly for a few hours and we jumped straight into the deep end and slept together, which I've never done before. I like to wait and make sure the timing is right when I take that step but with Chloe, I've just thrown that out the window and I went for it. It was also the best thing since I really like this girl and being intimate with her just now was amazing.

After talking for a few hours I felt this pull to Chloe. I can't explain what it was but it was something that drew me to her and she obviously felt it, too since we're lying here right now. One thing just led to another and before I knew it we were making out hard then the clothes came off and that was it!

"Do, ah, do you want a drink? I'm kinda parched." I ask, still catching my breath.

I'm starting to wish I did cardio more often... Take the stairs, not the elevator...

"Sure," she answers breathlessly.

"I'll be right back," I slide out of bed and throw on my sweats and a hoodie then head out into the kitchen.

I grab a tall glass of water and chug it down before refilling it and drinking that as well. I'm not a fan of drinking water but there are times when I'm dying for a drink and water tastes like the best thing on earth. It's just one of the moments where you're absolutely in love with the plain liquid. That's me right now. Water is my saviour at this moment.

Once my thirst is quelled, I grab a clean glass for Chloe, fill it with cold water, and return to my bedroom but instead of being greeted by a perky redhead, I see a redhead who has her legs curled up to her chest with tears running down her cheeks.

"Chloe!" I race over to her the best I can with the water.

I put the glass down on the bedside table and put my arm around the woman.

"What's wrong, babe?" I ask.

"You're... You're going to leave me now... aren't you?"

My mouth drops open when she says the words.

"N, no! Of course not! Why would you say that?"

"B, because we... we just... slept together and... and that's when people... leave." She sniffs hard as tears continue to roll down her cheeks. "I... I should have waited... I... I should have just taken things slow... You... You don't want me anymore..."

Where the Hell is this coming from? My chest feels heavy and it takes everything in me not to cry. This woman, this beautiful, caring, smart, talented, and loving woman has been hurt before. It's so obvious and it just... crushes me.
