Bechloe - Two Hearts Collided

Chapter IV

The following morning, Chloe was met with a thumping headache. She had drunk way too much last night and she regretted it instantly. The redhead slowly opened her eyes since the sun peeking through the blinds in her bedroom wouldn't let her go back to sleep. She rubbed her eyes then sighed. She was going to need to drink a lot of water today to help her recover. She hated hangovers with a passion. Chloe laid in bed for a few more moments before she got up and just when she moved, she heard a rough moan behind her and an arm tighten around her waist. Chloe's eyes flung open when she realised that she wasn't alone and more importantly, naked.

Chloe looked behind her and saw that she was in bed with Beca who was also naked. The blood drained from Chloe's face and she felt her heart stop. Chloe couldn't believe it. She didn't want to but there was no other explanation for the situation she was in. She was naked and Beca was naked. They both got drunk last night and made out on the dancefloor.

"Shit..." Chloe uttered and that's when it all came flooding back to her - she and Beca had sex last night. "No, no, no, no!" Chloe pulled the sheets back and leapt out of bed, throwing a robe around her body.

"Mm... What's going on?" Beca grumbled.

"Beca," Chloe said. "You need to go."

"Go? What?" Beca rubbed her eyes and realised that she wasn't in her own bed.

She was confused but when she saw the panic on Chloe's face and how she was naked in a foreign bed, Beca knew what was going on.

"Oh, shit,"

"Yeah, oh, shit!" Chloe exclaimed. "I'm engaged! I'm engaged and I... I..."

"Cheated?"

Chloe got chills down her spine. Chloe never thought that she'd be a cheater. The thought of cheating on Chicago never even crossed her mind but here she was.

"Do you remember what happened last night? I mean, I remember dancing and... going into the bathroom and..."

"Having sex?"

"Y, yes..." Chloe folded her arms over her chest, still having trouble accepting the situation. "Beca, I'm getting married soon."

"Well, I don't think you are anymore."

"How can you say that!"

"Because you cheated on your fianceé...?" Beca said as if it wasn't already obvious. "Would you want to be with someone who cheated on you?"

"But I was drunk!"

"So were a lot of people when they cheated but it still happened. Look, Chloe, I'm sorry about what happened between us but you came onto me."

"What?" Chloe scoffed. "I did not."

"You did. You offered me to come and sit with you, you bought me drinks, you got me to dance with you, you kissed me, you pulled me into the bathroom, you begged me to-"

"Alright! I get it! It was me," Chloe sighed. "Look, can we just forget this happened?"

"Sure," Beca chuckled then slowly sat up on the edge of the bed.

She rubbed her face only to feel something on her finger. Beca frowned then noticed a silver band on her finger - it was a wedding ring. Beca's eyes widened and she felt like her heart was about to collapse when she saw a certificate on the bedside table.

"Ah... Chloe?"

"Yes?" She snapped.

"I... I think we got married last night."

"What?" Chloe laughed. "Don't be so ridiculous."

"No, I'm serious. Come and look at this."

Chloe sighed then humoured Beca, sitting down next to her and reading the certificate and at that moment, Chloe felt like dying.

Like Chloe, Aubrey also woke with a terrible headache but it wasn't all bad since she was greeted with soft kisses peppering her shoulder and neck. Aubrey was confused for a few moments but then realised who was naked behind her.

"Good morning, beautiful," Stacie greeted.

Aubrey got tingles inside her and it made her smile. "Good morning."

The blonde rolled onto her back and saw Stacie smiling down at her.

"Did you have a good sleep?" Stacie asked.

"Yes, although, my head hurts..."

"It'll go."

"You don't have a hangover?"

"A little. It's not as bad as I thought it'd be, which is great. Do you remember much of last night?"

"Mm... Bits and pieces. I remember doing shots, dancing, making out, then coming back here. It's a bit of a blur but I remember the important stuff."

"That's good. I was preparing for you to freak out and get me to leave."

Aubrey laughed. "Not quite. I thought you'd be gone by now."

"Gone?" Stacie echoed. "Why would you say that?"

"Oh... I just thought... you know."

"That this would be a one-night stand?"

Aubrey didn't want to be awful but she nodded anyway.

"Yeah, if it was a one-night stand I would have been gone ages ago, not kissing you and waiting for you to wake up for an hour."

"You've been awake for an hour?"

"Yes."

Aubrey felt her heart flutter but she couldn't help but question the beautiful woman who was currently gazing at her.

"Why are you here?" Aubrey asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, what do you want from me? I don't want to sound mean but... I really did think that last night was going to be a one-time thing."

"Did you want it to be?"

"I... I don't know. What do you want?"

"Well..." Stacie traced her fingers along Aubrey's arm and played with the blonde's fingers. "I wasn't expecting to feel this way but when I met you last night, I felt something. I'm not sure what but for the first time, I don't want to jump your bones and leave... I want to... give this a go."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... I mean I want to date you."

"Date me?"

"Yeah," Stacie chuckled. "I know, it's a shock to me, too, but... that's how I feel. Do... do you feel the same?"

Stacie was nervous to ask, which she hated. Stacie never got nervous but Aubrey did something to her and she wasn't sure what to think of it. All she knew is that she wanted to try being with Aubrey. It was scary but it's how she felt.

"I... I don't know," Aubrey answered. "I wasn't looking for anyone and I wasn't looking for a relationship either."

Stacie's heart sank as she wished for the floor to open up and swallow her whole.

"But then I met you..."

Stacie's eyes lit up.

"I know that last night was only fun but I really liked it and... I want to get to know you more."

Stacie's smile was too powerful for her to control. "I want to get to know you more, too."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't we go out for breakfast then?"

"I think that's a good idea."

"Good."

Stacie and Aubrey smiled at each other before Aubrey grabbed Stacie's face and pulled her down for a kiss.
