Bechloe - Two Hearts Collided

Chapter V

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" Chloe fretted as she paced back and forth in her bedroom, trying to calm herself the best she could.

"Would you just chill out, dude?" Beca said, putting her clothes from last night back on.

"Just chill out? I can't just chill out, Beca! We had sex and then we got married!"

"And had more sex..." Beca smirked.

"You're not helping! This is bad! REALLY bad! I'm engaged!"

"So you keep reminding me."

"It's a big thing! I cheated on my fianceé and got married to another woman! This is so messed up..."

"I know it was unexpected but it happened."

"Why the Hell did we get married? What was going through our minds? We must have been completely out of it."

"Just a little bit," she played.

"Again, you're not helping!"

"What do you want me to say?" Beca chuckled.

"This isn't funny!"

"Oh, come on, Chloe, it kinda is."

"It's NOT! It might be a great joke to you and a funny story you can tell your friends but this is really bad for me! I'm due to get married in a few months and I can't do that when I'm married to you! I'm in love with another man and now I'm married to someone else!"

"Well, you clearly don't love him as much as you think you did."

"Excuse me?"

"Come on, Chloe, you can't honestly tell me that you love him when you were openly flirting with me last night."

"I wasn't openly flirting with you," Chloe snorted.

"Yes, you were. You bought me drinks, you sat close to me, you stared at me longer than people normally do, you got me to dance with you, and then you kissed me and more. You wouldn't have done any of that if you truly loved this guy."

"This guy happens to be my finaceé! We've been dating for two years!"

"Good for you. Now, you can figure out what you really want."

"What are you talking about?"

"Listen, Chloe, I'm not going to sugarcoat this, okay? You might have feelings for this guy but you don't truly love him as much as you think you do. As soon as I cleaned up the drink you spilt last night, we would have parted and that would have been the end of it but it wasn't. You got me to sit with you and the rest was history and don't act like you don't know how you acted towards me and don't try to blame it on the alcohol either. You did a lot of stuff sober and I think the alcohol gave you the courage to do what you wanted to do since you met me."

"That's a bit full of yourself don't you think?"

"Perhaps but it's true. You can't deny the chemistry between us, especially our obvious attraction to each other."

"There is no chemistry between us. We only met last night."

"Well, there must have been something since we got married!"

"That was a drunken mistake, alright? A drunken mistake that we have to fix IMMEDIATELY. Chicago is coming home soon so I want this sorted well before then."

"You're still going to marry him?"

"Of course. He's the love of my life."

Beca laughed. "Yeah, keep telling yourself that."

"Beca! Stop it! You don't know him and you don't know me!"

"I know you enough to know that you don't love him! How many times do I have to tell you that!"

"I'm not listening to any more of this. We're going to fill out divorce papers and sort this out."

"So, what? You're not going to tell you fianceé about this? You know keeping secrets are the worst things for a relationship."

"What I do is none of your concern, alright? We got drunk and we made a mistake and it's as simple as that. There's no need to complicate things."

"I wish it was as simple as that but it's not. I hate to say this Chloe but I don't think your engagement is going to last much longer."

"Shut up, Beca!" Chloe snapped, tears threatening to spill over. "Just shut up! You don't know him and you don't know me! We trust each other and we've overcome so much together so you have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, this will be difficult for him but he loves me and I love him and we're going to get through this because we love each other."

Beca quickly shut up after that. She could tell that Chloe was close to crying so she didn't want to push it further.

"Alright," Beca sighed. "Let's sort this out then."

"Thank you... And, Beca?"

"Yes?"

"Please don't tell anybody about this. Just... Please."

Beca saw the desperation in the woman's eyes and as tempted as she was to tell Stacie, she didn't want to make matters worse between her and Chloe.

"Okay," she nodded.

"Thank you."

"How can someone with such a model-like body eat so much and still maintain her figure?" Aubrey asked as she watched Stacie finish off a burger with fries.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm gonna burn all of this off tomorrow. I'm going for my weekly run with my friend who's also a trainer." Stacie wiped her mouth, sat back in her seat, and finished off her milkshake.

"It's good that you have a routine. I need to get back into shape. I usually go for a powerwalk every Tuesday and Thursday but work at the Lodge has been really full-on lately."

"I think your shape is just fine, baby."

Aubrey blushed at the pet name. She and Stacie decided to go out for the day since it was the weekend and get to know each other better and so far it was going really well. They spent the morning shopping and now they were having lunch before heading down to the beach.

"Says you - the model," Aubrey told her. "Seriously, how do you not have someone special in your life?"

"I do," she smirked, which was followed by a wink.

Aubrey just tutted with an eye roll but she still smiled.

"I don't know. I guess I was a bit like you - I wasn't looking for anyone. I've always been the one-night stand kind of person but then you came along and... well, here we are."

Aubrey blushed again. "I know we haven't known each other long but... I really like you, Stacie, and I hope we can spend more time together in the future."

Stacie's heart soared at the words, causing her to take Aubrey's hand.

"I really like you, too, Bree. You're an amazing woman and I'm looking forward to what comes next."

Aubrey smiled at the brunette and pecked her cheek. "Me, too."
