She's The Boss ✔️

Chapter 14

Beca was walking Chloe back up to her front door after sharing a taxi back with her after the club. She'd still be feeling crap after the night out she had from talking to Tom and then feeling guilty for flirting with the girl in the smoking area. She didn't know whether she should tell Chloe or not about what happened and has been keeping quiet and reserved ever since she spoke to Jesse.

As Chloe would reach her front door she'd turn around to face Beca causing her to stop in her tracks and finally look up into her blue eyes. "Are you going to tell me what's wrong?", she'd fiddle with the keys in her hand biting on her lip slightly as she'd stare at the floor.

"Chlo I'm fine, there's nothing wrong", she'd debate one final time about telling Chloe or not about tonight.

"Have I done something wrong? I'm sorry if I have but I don't know what I've done", she'd tuck a piece of red hair behind her ear now as she'd look back up at Beca.

"No, you haven't done anything!", she'd take a deep breath raking her fingers through her hair as she'd watch Chloe go from looking upset to confused. "Let's go inside, I need to tell you something", she'd gesture to the front door behind Chloe.

The two girls would walk through the front door into the living room which had pictures of Chloe's family and friends scattered around the room. Beca would sit down on the end of the 'L' shaped couch watching Chloe walk round and sit next to her. "Okay so I uhh..", she'd look into Chloe's eyes trying to convince herself she was doing the right thing by telling her, "I flirted with a girl tonight and tried to take her home", she'd close her eyes holding back the feeling of tears.

"Wh-Why did you do that?", Chloe would continue to watch her trying to also hold back the feeling of frustration that everything Tom said to her happened.

"Because I was going to let you down at some point so I thought why not just do it now and get it over with", she'd open her eyes again looking over Chloe's face trying to read her expressions. "I thought with all the tests and things you kept doing you was waiting for me to snap and just give in so that I would fail and you'd run back to Tom"

Chloe would sit there in silence not knowing what to say, trying to find words to describe what she was thinking and how she was feeling, then remembering what Beca just said. "Wait, Tom? What does he have to do with any of this?", she'd furrow her eyebrows at Beca now.

"He was there tonight", she'd edge closer to Chloe now. "He was at the bar and he was telling me all about how you was waiting for me to crack so that you could go back and be with him"

"You honestly think I'd do that?", she'd start to get angry now both at Tom and Beca for believing him so easily.

"Come on Chlo with the amount of times you've put some test in front of me or you've got me interviewed by your friends or you've worn outfits that make it ridiculously hard not to touch you it made it pretty believable"

Chloe would stand up now pacing up and down the living room, not looking at Beca anymore. "I can't believe him!", she'd groan with frustration. "I never wanted you to fail Becs I just wanted to check for my sake that I wasn't going to get hurt", she'd wring her hands together.

Beca would stand up as well now in front of her holding one of her hands. "I'm sorry for believing him over you but I just didn't know what to do and that's why I then thought it was a good idea to flirt with that girl. I didn't want both of us to fall too hard and too deep for each other and hurt you"

"I think it's too late for that", Chloe would smile now her eyes brimming with tears slightly as she'd step closer to Beca taking hold of her other hand.

"You think so?", Beca would look up into Chloe's eyes glancing down at her lips watching her bite down on it softly as she'd nod her head.

"I've already fallen but I need to know if you're ready to catch me?", she'd move her hand up Beca's arms to her shoulders, resting them there as Beca's hands would instantly go to her hips.
