Forever

6. Perfect

I showed Beca the treehouse it wasn't as awesome as it was when I was a kid. It was pretty underwhelming. Neither of us could stand up completely in it. We eventually went back into the house. Mom made us hot chocolate. We sat at the breakfast bar Beca's hand on my leg.

"Ew. Cooties." Matt said as he walked by.

"You have lipstick on your face." Beca shot back. Matt's eyes got wide and he quickly looked in the reflection of the window to wipe the bright pink lipstick off of his cheek. I snickered.

My Dad came into the kitchen his glasses low on his nose. "Your mom has suggested a game and movie night."

"Can we go see Captain Marvel!?!" I said excitedly.

"No!" Beca said really quickly. But her voice was drowned out by Matt.

"YES!!"

"Alright then." My dad said. "We'll go see the movie, go to dinner and then come back for games."

Beca and I went back up to my room.

"Why," Beca said plainly.

"Because," I said sitting on the bed with her, "I want them to hear your work without the pretense that it is your work."

Beca sighed.

"I won't tell them that you did it until tomorrow. I promise." I gave Beca a quick kiss before getting up off the bed.

"You're perfect," Beca said.

Chloe was always a tease. This trip had to be perfect. I really needed her parents to like me. The evening was fine. Game night got a little chaotic but other than that it was great. Chloe and I were laying in bed. Chloe was asleep. I was not. Chloe had her arms wrapped around me so it wasn't like I could get out of the bed without disturbing her, so I just laid there until I finally fell asleep. I felt safe here. Chloe's blue and flower-covered room felt like home. When I woke up, Chloe was already up and watching me.

"Hello," I said.

"Morning," she whispered before kissing me on the cheek.

"How long have you been up for?"

"Not long. I didn't feel like waking you up. You looked so peaceful."

"That's kinda creepy Chloe."

"Whatever." Her arms were still wrapped around me.

"Chloe. I gotta get up. I have work to do."

"Noooooo. You're comfy."

"Chloeeee." I tried to free myself from her arms but Chloe was much stronger than me.

"Nope. We are on vacation. You are not working at 9 in the morning."

I continued to fight against Chloe. "Let me goooooo."

"Nope."

I groaned and kept fighting. Then we rolled off of the bed onto the floor. We were a tangle of limbs and blankets on the floor.

Chloe started laughing which made me laugh.

"Can I get to work now?" I said between laughs.

Chloe sighed but was still smiling. "Ok."

Beca spent some time working she was working on producing this band's album. She had her headphones plugged in but also had her Bluetooth earpiece sitting next to her computer. I came up behind her and picked it up putting it in my ear. I heard her messing with the recordings and loops. I watched her eyes as she looked up waving her finger just above the keyboard in time with the music. She chewed on the inside of her cheek as she worked She was so perfect. When she was contemplating a specific part she would put her elbow up onto the table and pull on her lip with her thumb and index finger. She was so perfect.

She finished working on the album and took off her headphones. She turned in her chair to face me. "Okay. I'm done for now."

"Hooray!" I said hugging her and sitting on her lap.

"Seriously? We're going to break the chair."

"No, we're not," I said my lips brushing against hers. I felt her let out a breath.

"Chloeeee"

"Fiiiiine." I got up off of her lap and then pulled Beca to her feet. "Wanna go exploring?"

"Sure. But I do have more work to do today."

"Lame."

"Sorry, Chlo."

"It's okay. We can go for an adventure, get lunch and come back. Sound good?"

"Sounds great." She smiled.

We wandered around the woods by the house before going downtown for lunch. We ate at a little sandwich shop before heading home.
