Bechloe - One For My Baby

Chapter XIII

"Chloe, where are you?" Beca called out when she couldn't find the redhead in the locker room. "Chlo?"

"I'm just in the shower getting changed," Chloe told her.

Beca went over to the voice and stood next to the shower door.

"Hey, ah... is everything okay? You seemed kinda pissed earlier."

"I'm fine," she answered in a clipped tone.

"Are you sure?"

"I said I'm fine, Beca," Chloe snapped then opened the shower door in her casual clothes. "Maybe you should check on Zoe again, or should I say, Zo." Chloe pushed past the brunette and flung her bag over her shoulder.

"Wait a minute, is that's what's wrong?" Chloe didn't answer. "Chlo, wait!" Beca stopped the redhead from leaving the locker room. "Is that what's wrong?"

"Why didn't you tell me that she was your ex-girlfriend?"

"I didn't think it mattered and I totally forgot about her until today. Today's her first day back at school."

"Do you still have feelings for her?"

"What? No! Of course not."

"She's pretty and she's a redhead. Is that your thing? Redheads?"

"Chlo, please," Beca took the girl's hands. "That doesn't matter. You're MY redhead and I like YOU. Zoe and I didn't work out for many reasons and you're not even close to her. I've never felt this way about anyone before and... I really like you. There's something special about you that I just can't put my finger on but it's only you, Chlo - not her."

Chloe sighed then looked down. "I'm sorry, Becs, I just... I saw her and I saw you two getting on really well out on the field and I let my anger get the better of me. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I understand."

"You do?"

"Yeah, I'd get angry if I was in that situation but you have nothing to worry about. Zoe and I are just friends and that's all. I want YOU to be my girlfriend - not her."

"That's good," Chloe smiled and Beca smiled back. "Wanna walk me to my next class?"

"I do, just let me get changed really quick."

"Okay, I'll just sit here," Chloe sat down and waited for Beca to change in front of her.

"So you were checking me out those times?"

"What can I say? I'm a sucker for a badass brunette."

"Well, you've come to the right place for that, Beale," Beca smirked then lifted up her shirt, revealing her taut body, making Chloe's mouth go dry.

Beca then removed her shorts before putting on her jeans and by now, Chloe was flushed.

"You okay there, Beale? Looking at bit red there and I'm not talking about your hair."

"I don't know what, but there's something about you in jeans without a shirt... It does something to me."

Beca tried not to laugh. "I'm glad you like what you see."

"Oh, I do..." Chloe bit her lip hungrily and it made Beca get an excitement spark in her that she had never felt before.

"Hey, Bec! Good game," Zoe said as she made her way over.

"Oh, hey, Zoe," Beca quickly slipped her shirt on followed by her flannel. "Thanks. How's the ankle?"

"Yeah, it's alright. It's still sore but it's okay."
