Work Text:
After a few hours of just enjoying the music, she headed home, careful not to wake the other inhabitants of the house. Beca got ready for bed and was about to shut her p hone off before she noticed she got a text.
Good night, Beca. xo
Beca smiled and replied back with a good night <3 and headed off to dreamland, where she dreamed about a certain red-head.
~
A year has passed since that fateful day at the Club. Beca took Chloe up on her offer to go out, and by the third date, they were dating.
Soon after, Beca graduated from high school and entered the world of college, much to her father’s delight. From there, she reluctantly joined the Bella’s where she soon found her passion for singing, though she was loathe to admit it at the time.
With Christmas fast approaching, the Bella’s were invited to sing at this year’s local parade, and were hard at work practicing the song and routine that Aubrey had them doing.
It was for this reason that Beca and Chloe were practicing the dance routine that they would be performing with the song of their choice.
By the fifth walk through of their routine, Chloe was confident that Beca would do great once the day of the parade came. To be honest, Beca had it down the first couple of times, but hadn’t wanted to admit it, because she knew Chloe would have to go home once they were done practicing
Chloe glanced at the time on her phone before slowly starting to pack things up. Beca leaned against her desk, and glanced out the window, where she could see the beginnings of a snow storm approaching.
“Are you sure I can’t convince you to stay?”
Chloe, who was putting her scarf on smiled sadly at Beca.
“You know what would happen if I stayed”
Beca stood and walked over to Chloe, grabbing her hands in hers.
“Come on, no one would know. Plus, I’ve got an extra bed if you’d rather one to yourself”
Chloe laughed as Beca waggled her eyebrows suggestively. Though Beca was still a bit closed off and awkward, she was warming up tot he idea of getting close to others. Though, Emily may have been rubbing off on her.
“I really can't stay”
Beca nudged her head toward the windows, beckoning Chloe to look out there at the approaching snowstorm.
“Baby it's cold outside”
Chloe’s lips twerked. It wasn’t every day that Beca used pet peeves, which meant that the smaller woman was desperate to keep her there.
“I gotta go away”
“Baby it's cold outside”
“This evening has been”
Chloe took her hand out of Beca’s, and used it to run it through Beca’s hair.
“Been hoping that you'd dropped in”
“So very nice”
Beca grasped Chloe’s free hand once more.
“I'll hold your hands they're just like ice”
“Aubrey will start to worry”
“Beautiful what's your hurry?”
“She will be pacing the floor”
“Listen to the fireplace roar”
“Firstly, there’s no fireplace, secondly I really should scurry”
.
Beca leaned forward so that their lips were almost touching. She whispered the neck words, hoping to seduce the girl.
“Beautiful please don't hurry”
“Well maybe just a half a drink more”
Beca walked over to the mini fridge and grabbed the drink that Amy had left there.
“I'll put some music on while I pour”
“The neighbors might think”
Music filled the room as Beca walked over with two now half-full glasses of the mixed drinks. She handed Chloe hers.
“Baby it’s bad out there”
“Say what's in this drink?”
Beca made a face as she took a sip of her own. She took Chloe’s glass and put both down on the table as the song continued playing.
“No cabs to be had out there”
Beca walked back over to Chloe and pulled her close, as she started to slow dance. They stared into each other’s eyes as they danced.
“I wish I knew how”
“Your eyes are like starlight now”
“To break this spell”
“I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell”
Chloe didn’t stop Beca as the smaller girl took her hat, a coy smile on her lips.
“I ought to say no, no, no ma’am”
Chloe moved along with Beca as the girl took her hand.
“Mind if move in closer?”
"At least I'm gonna say that I tried”
“What's the sense of hurting my pride?”
“I really can't stay”
“Baby don't hold out”
“Baby it's cold outside”
It was safe to say that Chloe did not go home that night.
