Chloe's eyes widened in shock before she melted into the kiss, bringing her hand up to softly stroke Beca's cheek. She pulled away suddenly and wiped her mouth.
"What the hell?! Did that just happen?!"
Beca lent forward for another kiss but Chloe slapped her away.
"I'm still mad at you Beca! Just because I am pleasantly overwhelmed right now does not mean I am not still very very annoyed with you. We need to talk."
"Well, we have nowhere to be."
"How can you be so casual? Why didn't you tell me!"
"Calm down Chlo-"
"Calm down! I-"
"Chloe Anne Beale!" Beca yelled over the top of her friend, "Let me tell you what happened."
"Okay." Chloe said in a small voice.
"We were leaving from the lodge and I was putting your bag in the car."
"Wait what? That was ages ago!"
"Let me tell the damn story!" Beca yelled, getting frustrated.
"Right, continue."
"Okay so I was putting your bag in the car and it wasn't zipped up fully and I could see your diary."
Chloe interrupted again. "Oh no! You didn't-"
"Chloe! I did okay! I opened to a random page and read all about how you had a crush on me. I didn't mean to, it was an accident!"
"You accidentally read my diary?! What the hell Beca!"
Beca held up her hands in defense, "It wasn't like that! I just... I dunno. It wasn't like that. I thought it would be funny to tease you about it or something... I dunno."
"If you hadn't just kissed me, I would punch you Beca."
Beca smiled weakly, "I'm really sorry Chlo."
"Okay so what happened after that?"
"Ummm. I may have read it a few times after that," Chloe's face turned to thunder and Beca hid behind her hands, "I didn't know what I felt for you and I thought it would help. I swear I'll never ever do it again."
"You'd better not!"
"It just gave me some thinking time. Then when Aubrey texted that I thought you had another crush and I was really jealous. So I pretended to be you and then realized afterward that you would see the messages and I didn't know what to do."
Chloe paused for a moment and then said the only thing she could "Wow."
"I get it if you totally hate me and never want to speak again but I wish you'd give me a second chance. I really really like you Chloe." Beca rushed the words out.
There was silence as Chloe thought about what Beca had said. Finally she said, "I really like you too Beca. This isn't like a romantic comedy where I get really mad at you, I like you too much for that. I forgive you Beca."
The two girls hugged for a long time.
"Thank you Chloe."
Chloe smiled and then said, "So what now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are we girlfriends now or...?" Chloe left the question hanging in the air.
"Do you want to be?"
There was no hesitation in Chloe's voice as she said "Of course I do Beca!"
"Me too! Well then..." Beca smiled, "Can we kiss?"
Chloe didn't answer as she leaned towards Beca and their lips met. Beca melted into the kiss and the two fell back onto the bed, now fully making out. After a while Chloe came up for air and glanced at the clock.
"It's 10:30 Beca, we should go to bed."
"Do we have to?"
"Yes, we've got a big day tomorrow."
Beca groaned, "You're lucky I love you Chloe."
Chloe grinned, "I'm not lucky, I'm irresistible!"
