Beca would hear knocking at her front door from her bed, waking her up. She'd roll over looking at the time seeing her phone say 7AM. "Go away!", she'd shout out pulling the pillow over her head. A few minutes later Beca would be jumped on by someone coming into her apartment and then into her room. Out of instinct Beca would twist and move so the person was under her and she was pinning them down.

"Ow Beca!", Chloe would shout out.

"Chloe?", Beca would loosen her grip on Chloe's wrists moving her hands to either side of her face. "Don't sneak up on me like that! I didn't know it was you"

"Well I'm sorry but I wanted to come and surprise you with the news before anyone else!", she'd bite her lip excitedly now looking into Beca's eyes.

"What news?", Beca would move off of her now laying beside her propping her head up with her hand.

"Your single got to number one!", Chloe would get out quickly but loudly waiting for Beca's reaction.

"No fucking way! Are you serious?!", Beca would grab Chloe by the waist pulling her in for a hug, smiling at the way Chloe was giggling like mad against her neck which also sent shivers down her spine.

Beca would pull away slightly still smiling and looking down at Chloe's lips which were also in a smile, then glancing up to her eyes noticing that Chloe was also looking down at her lips. Beca would lean in slightly waiting for her reaction and seeing that she wasn't stopping her she'd keep going till their lips would brush softly against each other. Just as they were about to properly kiss each other, Chloe's phone would ring in her pocket causing them to jump and pull apart slightly.

Chloe looking flustered would remember where she was and would sit up now taking the phone out of her pocket and answering it straight away. "Hello?", she'd glance over at Beca who hadn't moved from her position laying down, "Oh Tom hey, uhh.. No no I'm not doing anything today", she'd notice the eye roll from Beca and would watch her move and get out of bed. "Yeah sure, I'll meet you for lunch at your work. Okay bye, yeah you too", she'd sigh hanging up the phone and putting it back in her pocket.

Beca would take a deep breath putting on her favourite jumper and running her hands through her hair before turning back round to face Chloe who was still sat on the bed. "You seeing lover boy later on then I take it?", she'd mumble looking around for her keys and phone.

"Yeah I'm meeting him for lunch, but we can do something in the morning until then", she'd grab Beca's keys from off of the floor smirking to herself as she'd look up and watch Beca continue to look for her stuff. "We could go for celebratory breakfast at that cafe you love downtown"

"Sounds good, just as soon as I find my keys we can go", she'd grab her phone from the bedside table looking up instantly at Chloe as she'd hear her keys jingingly, finding her stood up with one hand on her hip and the other swinging the keys round on her finger. "What would I do without you?", she'd wink at her taking the keys and putting them in her pocket.

"Probably still be sleeping", Chloe would reply laughing a little as she'd walk out of the apartment with Beca alongside her.

"Very true", she'd smirk nudging Chloe as they'd stand waiting for the elevator hoping that they could forget about what happened earlier.

...

After breakfast the two of them would be back at Chloe's place hanging out, laughing and reminiscing over stories. "Remember that time when I came to get a one-night stand out of your place and you was still...", Chloe would use her hands as she'd describe the story.

"Ew, okay alright yeah I get what you're trying to say", she'd push Chloe a little making her laugh and Beca would smile watching her flick her hair over her shoulder before connecting her eyes with Beca. "And yes I do remember that, cause that was the first time you pretended to be my girlfriend", she'd smirk watching Chloe now bite her lip slightly still looking into each other's eyes.

Chloe would look away slightly before turning back to look at Beca again, "The look on your face was priceless seeing as I never told you I was going to do that", she'd watch Beca fidget nervously with her hand on the back of the couch, moving so she was sitting a bit closer.

"Well it was a shock to realise that I had a girlfriend, let alone that my girlfriend was you", Beca would notice the small smile showing on Chloe's face and would take a deep breath before moving closer again.

"You probably thought you had asked me while drunk and couldn't remember me saying yes", Chloe would laugh a little as she'd push a strand of hair behind her ear before placing her hand on Beca's thigh.

"Would that have been such a bad thing if I did?", she'd start to lean in towards Chloe looking between her lips and her eyes waiting for her to push her away or stop her, but she didn't.

"Beca I-", Chloe would relax against the feel of Beca putting her hand on her neck and her breath fanning her face slightly.

"Chloe?", the girls would jump apart hearing someone banging on Chloe's door and calling her name.

"Shit", Chloe would whisper biting her lip and running a hand through her hair, trying to calm herself down. "I uh-", she'd stumble around avoiding eye contact with Beca as she'd stand up now, "Just coming!"

Beca would lean forward resting her elbows on her knees and putting her face in her hands for a moment when Chloe left the room to answer the door. "What the fuck is going on today?", she'd mumble to herself ignoring the conversation happening at the front door.

"I thought we said we'd meet at your work. I didn't realise you'd be coming here", Chloe would nervously walk back in the room with Tom following shortly behind her.

Beca would turn around standing up shortly after seeing Tom and watching him walk in with Chloe.

"Yeah well, I thought I'd come and surprise my girlfriend", he'd smirk watching Beca flinch at his words as he'd hold his hand out to greet her with a handshake.

Beca would shake his hands as he'd say this, then furrowing her eyebrows and looking between both Tom and Chloe confused. "Wait, girlfriend? I uhh.. I didn't realise you guys were an official thing"

"Neither did I", Chloe would mumble but then smile as Tom would turn round to face her putting his hands on her waist and pulling her close making her move her hands to rest on his shoulders.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?", Tom would whisper loudly so that Beca would hear as she'd be stood on the other side of the room.

"I-", Chloe would look up into his eyes before glancing over at Beca who'd be chewing on the inside of her cheek, staring down at the floor. "Tom-", she'd catch Beca's eyes now before looking back up at Tom.

"I'll leave you guys to it, I don't want to be the awkward third wheel that was there when this moment happened", Beca would grab her jacket that was hanging over the back of the sofa, pulling her phone out to order a taxi.

"Thanks mate, you're a good friend", Tom would walk over to Beca shaking her hand again, squeezing it forcefully as he'd say the word 'friend'. Beca would glare at him a little so that Chloe wouldn't notice before smiling over at Chloe as she'd the house and walk down the path.

"Beca wait, I'm sorry about that Tom just-", Chloe would run and catch up with her as Beca would be waiting for the cab to arrive.

"Chloe it's fine honestly", she'd look over at her as the car would pull up alongside them, "Forget about it"

Chloe would watch Beca get into the cab and wait until it would drive off as she'd think about what Beca just said, working out if she was giving her a double meaning. Not just forgiving her for Tom but wanting her to forget about their two almost kisses today.
