Chapter 21

Holding her head, feeling a pounding headache and the slight feeling of nausea, Chloe found herself slowly and painfully waking up. From the moment she opened her eyes and let her gaze cast across the room, she spotted a dusty old guitar in the corner, a handful of photos pinned to the walls and when she turned her head she saw the mixing board and equipment set up on a desk.

"Shit", she snapped her head down to see Beca sleeping soundly next to her. Ignoring the spinning sensation that was happening in her head now from her quick movements. "Oh my god, did we-?", the cheerleader slowly lifted the covers to see that neither of them were naked, however she wasn't in the clothes she wore last night either.

"What is going on?", Chloe mumbled with a hand to her head and eyes closed once again as she tried to think back to last night. "I remember dancing with the girls, then Beca came over and we was dancing and then she followed me upstairs and I-", the colour drained from the redhead's face as she remembered what happened. "Oh my god"

"Beale, will you shut up? Not all of us got a great night sleep like you, princess", Beca rolled over so her back was facing Chloe now.

"Beca, wake up", Chloe nudged the soccer star, trying not to smile at the adorable growling and groaning that she was welcomed with this morning by the moody brunette. "Where are my clothes? I need to get home and.. oh god, I'm so sorry about-"

Beca slapped a hand over the redhead's mouth, finally opening her eyes and looking over at Chloe with a pointed look. "If I take my hand away, will you stop talking, for one second?", she watched the cheerleader nod her head slowly and couldn't help but smirk as she pulled her hand away again.

"You threw up over your clothes last night so I didn't think you'd want to sleep in them", she ran a hand through her hair, yawning slightly as she continued to wake up, "I grabbed some clothes from Tom's room because I didn't think you'd be comfortable wearing my stuff", the brunette shrugged, keeping her eyes anywhere but on the sleepy but cute Chloe that was staring back at her. "And with what happened last night, don't worry about it", she confidently winked at the cheerleader now before getting up from the bed.

"I feel so stupid", Chloe rubbed a hand down her face, moaning as she became more embarrassed after hearing Beca's run down of events from last night. She couldn't help but force herself not to smile when she didn't hear any regret from the brunette about them kissing.

Quickly trying to change the subject and rid the memories of last night's heated moment from her brain, Chloe looked back over at the soccer star to see her grabbing the smelly pile of clothes from her bathroom. "What are you doing?"

"I'll go and put your clothes in the washing machine", she nodded her head back towards her bathroom. "There's towels inside so you can take a shower if you want while I find some different clothes for you to wear, if you want"

Chloe bit down on her lip as she watched Beca show this more caring and thoughtful side that she had never seen before. "That would be great, thank you Beca"

"Not a problem Beale, I'll lay out some clothes on my bed for you to change into while you're in the shower and then I'll start making some pancakes", Beca would wink again as she made her way out of the room, missing the heated look she got back from the redhead.

Chloe took a quick shower, the hot water running across her body easing away the horrible lethargic feeling. As she stepped out and grabbed one of the towels to wrap around her body, she looked up into the mirror. The redhead felt awkward as she stood in the middle of the small en-suite bathroom, not knowing when to step out into the bedroom in case Beca was in there.

The cheerleader took a deep breath, opening the door and silently celebrating as she spotted clothes on the bed and more importantly no-one else in the room. Slowly walking over to the bed, Chloe smiled when she found a few options that Beca had gotten out for her to choose from. Picking up the black sweatpants and maroon coloured Barden soccer team t-shirt, Chloe quickly got dressed before making her way downstairs. The smell of pancakes as she went down the stairs, instantly making her stomach rumble and mouth begin to drool.
