BeChloe Week 2022 - Day 4

Prompt: "And that, my friends, is why I'm banned from Waffle House"

"And that, my friends," Fat Amy said, looking at the Bellas sitting around the living room, "is why I'm banned from Waffle House."

The girls looked around at each other with confused expressions.

"Did, um," Jessica started to speak and stopped.

"Did that really happen?" Ashley asked.

"Yes, it did," Amy replied with a smug smirk.

"Nope," Beca said. "I know this was a contest to see who had the best getting banned from Waffle House story, but at least Stacie's story is believable."

"But, my story is true," Amy whined.

"And, I call bullshit," Beca said.

"I'm with Beca," Stacie added. "Mine really happened. You tell us all these stories that we can't verify and expect us to believe you. Not this time, so I win."

"Noooooo," Amy said. "I swear it's true."

"Stacie and Beca are right, Amy," Chloe said. "Do you have pictures or a video to show? Because you're the one who always says, pics or it didn't happen. So, let's see the pics, or it didn't happen."

"What?" Fat Amy said, looking offended as she looked around the room. "None of you believe me?"

"Nope," Emily said as every one of the Bellas shook their heads.

"Come on, Ames," Beca said. "It's a bit hard to believe that you found a kangaroo somewhere and managed to disguise it as a person and took it to eat at a Waffle House."

"It did happen," Fat Amy insisted.

"On the other hand," Beca said. "Stacie getting banned for having loud sex in a Waffle House bathroom sounds totally like something Stacie would do."

"She was so loud because I made her squirt," Stacie said, grinning and causing Beca to fake gag.

"I so did not need to know that," Beca said, shaking her head.

"Ew," Emily mumbled.

Jessica and Ashley both wore confused expressions.

"How do you even do that?" Jessica whispered to Ashley.

"I have no idea," Ashley whispered back. "But, if anyone could do it, my money would definitely be on Stacie."

"She?" Fat Amy asked, her eyebrows raised. "Who was it?"

"I don't kiss and tell," Stacie said. "But the hunter wants what the hunter wants. And the hunter definitely wanted that girl. He doesn't limit his options to just one gender."

"I still can't believe you refer to your, your," Beca waved her hand toward Stacie's crotch. "That as he."

"I'm curious," Chloe said, looking at Stacie with her head slightly tilted to one side. "How does one make a girl-"

"Chloe!" Beca yelled, putting her hand over Chloe's mouth to stop Chloe from continuing.

Stacie laughed and looked at Chloe. "We'll talk later, okay?"

Beca glared at Stacie and then turned her glare to Chloe.

"Okay," Chloe mumbled against Beca's hand.

Chloe then licked Beca's hand, causing her to pull it back and wipe it on her jeans.

"Ew," Beca said.

"Stacie didn't show any pictures," Amy whined. "How come you didn't ask her to prove her story with pictures?"

"Nobody wants to see pictures of that, Amy," Beca said, standing from her seat. "Let me know when you can prove your story, m'kay? Until then, I say Stacie wins. Now, if you all will excuse me, I have to meet my dad for our weekly dinner."

"Is it Thursday already?" Chloe asked as she walked with Beca to the door. "Where does the time go?"

"I don't know," Beca mumbled as she took Chloe's arm and pulled her outside with her.

"Is something wrong?" Chloe asked.

"No," Beca said, putting her hands in her hoodie pockets. She scraped the toe of her shoe on the ground as she continued speaking. "Um, I told my dad about us, and he wants to meet you and invited you to join us for dinner whenever you're free."

"Hey," Chloe said, placing her fingers beneath Beca's chin to lift her head. "It's okay. I'll make myself available whenever you want me to. I can even do it tonight if you want."

"Are you sure?" Beca asked. "You don't have to."

"I want to," Chloe said, smiling. "I also want you to meet my parents soon. We can talk about when you can go to Tampa with me later. But, first, we need to tell Aubrey about us."

"I know," Beca said. "But, can we can talk about that later, too?"

"Sure," Chloe said.

"Do you still want to join my dad and me tonight?" Beca asked.

"Absolutely," Chloe said.

"Do you need to change, or can we just go?"

Chloe looked at Beca and then down at herself and said, "I'm good. Let's go."

Beca took Chloe's hand and led her down the porch steps.

~~ BeChloe Week 2022 - Day 4 ~~

Beca and Chloe were holding hands as they walked back to the Bellas House.

"That went better than I expected," Beca said. "My dad seemed to enjoy himself, too."

"He likes me," Chloe said. "And he can tell how much I like you, so there is nothing for him to worry about."

"You're right," Beca said, stopping to face Chloe once they were on the porch. She leaned in and kissed Chloe. "Thank you for coming with me tonight."

Chloe pulled Beca back into another kiss that Beca happily returned. Sudden whistling and clapping caused the couple to jump apart.

"Get it, girls!" Stacie called out from in front of the Bellas, who were all standing in the doorway, smiling at them.

"You girls need to get a new hobby," Beca said as she pushed past them and led Chloe inside.

Chloe giggled as the girls started teasing them as Beca led her up the stairs to her room.

"I call dibs on Beca's noise-canceling headphones," Fat Amy called out.

"Leave my headphones alone, Amy," Beca shouted back. "We're not going to do anything that would require anyone having to wear noise-canceling headphones!"

"Except each other," Amy said, causing the Bellas to laugh.

Beca scoffed as she followed Chloe into her room.

"Come on, Beca," Chloe said, sitting on the side of her bed. "Amy won't touch your headphones; she knows better. She's just trying to rile you up."

"I know," Beca conceded, looking down at Chloe. "But, I also know how Amy is, and those headphones cost me too much to let her get her hands on them."

Chloe slid her hands around Beca's hips and pulled her closer.

"How about we do something that will make Amy wish she had her own noise-canceling headphones?" Chloe said, looking up at Beca.

"Mmmm, I like the way you think," Beca said as she leaned down to smash their lips together.

~~ BeChloe Week 2022 - Day 4 ~~

One week later, Beca and Chloe were waiting outside for Aubrey to arrive. They were going to tell her about their dating. Beca was nervous, and Chloe was positively giddy with excitement.

Aubrey pulled up to the Bellas House, and Chloe ran down the steps to meet her. They hugged and started walking toward the house.

"I hope we're going to get something to eat," Aubrey said. "I'm starving."

"I invited Beca to go with us," Chloe said.

"Why?" Aubrey asked, stopping midway up the sidewalk. "I thought it was just going to be you and me. I need to talk to you about something."

"I, we, need to talk to you about something, too," Chloe said.

"Hey," Beca said, coming down the porch steps to where Aubrey and Chloe were standing. "It's good to see you, Aubrey."

"Good to see you, too, Beca," Aubrey said.

Chloe stood between the two, looking from one to the other. No one spoke.

After about a minute of awkward silence, Chloe blurted out, "Beca and I are dating, and we want you to be okay with it."

"Oh," Aubrey said.

"Is that a good Oh?" Beca asked. "Or, a bad Oh?"

"It's an I already knew Oh," Aubrey said.

"What?" Chloe screeched. "How did you know?"

"Umm," Aubrey mumbled. "Let's go somewhere to eat. I'll drive."

"Okay," Chloe said. "We can talk while we eat."

"Can we go to Waffle House?" Beca asked. "Ever since Stacie and Amy told those stories about Waffle House, I've been craving their smothered and covered hash browns."

"NO!" Aubrey yelled out. Her eyes widened, and her hand flew to her mouth. "Sorry."

"But, you love Waffle House," Chloe said.

"I did, do," Aubrey stammered. She then sighed, adding, "I'm just not in the mood for Waffle House."

"You're always in the mood for Waffle House," Chloe said, giggling.

Beca stood back and watched Aubrey's face. She studied her and saw her eye twitch as she rubbed her forehead.

A sudden thought came into her head, and an evil smirk came to her face.

"Oh, Aubrey," Beca said innocently. "Pray, do tell us why you don't want to go to Waffle House."

Aubrey's head jerked up, and she saw the evil smile on Beca's face. She grabbed Beca's arm and dragged her back up on the porch.

"Brey, what are you doing?" Chloe asked.

"Just stay there," Aubrey shot over her shoulder. "Please?"

Chloe furrowed her brow but did as Aubrey asked.

"What do you know?" Aubrey asked Beca through clenched teeth.

"Oh, I just remember a little story that Stacie told us just last week," Beca said, smile still in place.

"Oh, God," Aubrey moaned.

Beca's smile widened. "It was quite a fascinating story about her and another of the hunter's conquests and how she got banned from Waffle House."

"Oh, God," Aubrey repeated, dropping her head down. "Did Stacie say who she was?"

"I never mentioned that Stacie was with a she," Beca said. "Hmm, how did you know that it was a she?"

"Cut the crap, Beca," Aubrey said, giving Beca her best Bellas Captain glare. "I know you figured out it was me. Who else knows?"

"Nobody," Beca said, eyes gleaming devilishly. "Yet."

Aubrey took in a deep breath. "What do you want?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"What do you want to keep this to yourself?"

"What can I have?"

"I hate that I'm going to say this," Aubrey said, swallowing loudly. "Anything you want."

Chloe was confused as to why Aubrey dragged Beca to the porch. She stood on the sidewalk with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at her best friend and her girlfriend.

"Can we go eat, please?" Chloe called out, getting the two to look at her.

"Let's go," Beca said, quickly scurrying past Aubrey and down to where Chloe was standing. "We're going to the diner, so we can walk."

"I thought you wanted to go to Waffle House for their hash browns," Chloe said.

"I did," Beca said. "But Aubrey wants to go to the diner." She leaned in and whispered, "I want her to be okay with us dating, so we're going to the diner."

"Oh," Chloe said and smiled. "Okay."

~~ BeChloe Week 2022 - Day 4 ~~

The three girls had placed their orders. None of them were speaking.

Chloe cleared her throat. "So, um, Brey, what do you think of me and Beca dating?"

Beca looked over to Aubrey; Aubrey blinked twice and looked at Chloe.

"Does she make you happy?"

"Very much so," Chloe said, taking Beca's hand in hers.

"Then I am happy for you. For you both."

Beca smiled and looked around. Her smile widened as she watched Stacie walk into the diner and make her way over to their table.

"Hey, girls," Stacie said, greeting them. "Aubrey, I didn't know you were coming for a visit."

Beca snickered and mumbled, "I bet you didn't."

Aubrey glared at her; Stacie and Chloe just looked confused.

Beca cleared her throat and said, "We already ordered, but you're welcome to join us."

Aubrey's glare held more fire as she looked at a grinning Beca.

"Yeah, Stacie," Chloe said. "Join us."

"Thank you," Stacie said, sitting next to Aubrey.

~~ BeChloe Week 2022 - Day 4 ~~

The girls were done eating and were chatting. Beca was whispering to Chloe but could see out the corner of her eye that Stacie and Aubrey were also whispering.

Stacie stood, saying, "I have a lot of homework, so I'd better get to it."

"Well, your studies should always come first," Aubrey said.

"Will I see you all back at the house?" Stacie asked, her eyes firmly on Aubrey.

"Yeah, we'll be there soon," Chloe said.

"Good," Stacie said. "It's always a pleasure to see you, Aubrey."

Aubrey blushed slightly; Beca noticed and couldn't help the grin that came to her face.

"Are you okay, Aubrey?" Beca asked. "You look a little. . .flushed."

Chloe turned to look at her best friend, concern showing on her face.

"Beca's right," she said. "You do look a little flushed."

"I'm fine," Aubrey said.

"I'll see you girls later," Stacie said and walked away.

Chloe was worried about Aubrey, and she said as much. Beca watched Stacie start toward the exit but then quickly make a turn toward the bathroom. Beca bit her lip to keep from smirking.

"I am feeling a bit flushed," Aubrey said. "I'm going to go splash some water on my face."

"Want me to go with you?" Chloe asked, moving to stand.

"No," Aubrey said quickly. "I mean, I'll be fine. I'll just be a minute."

"Oh, okay," Chloe said, settling back in her seat.

Aubrey quickly left the table and made her way to the bathroom. Beca watched her and grinned when Aubrey looked back at the couple.

Aubrey stumbled slightly before turning and continuing to the bathroom.

~~ BeChloe Week 2022 - Day 4 ~~

Stacie turned toward the door when she heard it open. Aubrey entered quickly and closed the door behind her, leaning her back against it.

"Beca knows," Aubrey blurted out.

"What? How?"

"You told her," Aubrey said.

Back at the table, Chloe was looking toward the bathroom.

"I hope Brey's alright," she said.

"I'm sure she's just fine," Beca said, smirking.

"What's that smirk for?" Chloe asked.

"Oh, it's nothing," Beca said.

"Tell me," Chloe said. "I know you're up to something. What is it?"

"Okay, okay," Beca said, laughing now. "That story Stacie told about Waffle House. She was with Aubrey."

"What?!" Chloe exclaimed. "How do you know that?"

"I figured it out," Beca said, shrugging. "And Aubrey confirmed it before we came here."

"Brey and Stacie?" Chloe said. "Why didn't she tell me?"

"Maybe because they haven't figured out it was more than just a hookup."

"You think?"

"I do," Beca replied. "How many people have you seen Stacie hooking up with in the past few months?"

"Um," Chloe said, thinking back. "Now that I think about it, she has been pretty quiet about her conquests."

"And we both know Stacie loves to relay her latest sexual escapades," Beca said. "Especially since she knows it makes me uncomfortable. And further proof is Aubrey not wanting to go to Waffle House when we both know she loves the place. She couldn't go because she was also banned."

"You might be right," Chloe said. "Maybe I should go check on Brey and make sure she's okay."

"No," Beca said quickly, grabbing Chloe's arm to stop her. "I saw Stacie go back there just before Aubrey."

"You don't think they're, you know?"

"I'm not sure. But I really don't want to walk in on them if they are."

"I'm going back," Chloe said, standing and making her way to the bathrooms before Beca could stop her.

"Chloe, wait," Beca said, jumping up to follow her.

Chloe stopped outside the bathroom. Beca joined her just as Chloe started opening the door.

"Aha!" Beca yelled, jumping in front of Chloe and stopping when Aubrey and Stacie quickly looked over at her.

"It's, um, it's not what you think," Aubrey said.

"It's exactly what we think," Beca said. "You two are together, and you wanted to keep it a secret from us. And I don't mean together as in just hooking up."

"Okay," Stacie said. "It is what you think. But, you have to understand that I love her."

"You love me?" Aubrey asked quietly.

"You love her?" Beca and Chloe both asked.

"Yes, I do," Stacie said. "I was going to wait to tell you on our date, but circumstances," she looked at Beca and Chloe, "got in the way."

"I love you, too," Aubrey said, leaning in to kiss Stacie.

"Aww," Chloe said. "Look at you two."

Stacie grabbed the back of Aubrey's head and deepened the kiss. Aubrey pulled Stacie flush to her and wrapped her arms around Stacie's neck.

"Um, guys," Beca said. "Guys! Maybe you should stop before you are banned from the diner, too."

Chloe giggled as Stacie and Aubrey jumped apart.

"She's right," Stacie said. "Let's go. We can pick this up later."

"I'm in," Aubrey said, kissing Stacie one more time before turning to leave the bathroom.

The four girls garnered quite a bit of attention as they all walked out of the bathroom one after the other.

"What?" Beca said, glaring as she caught the eyes of some of the customers. "Haven't you seen a group of girls go to the bathroom together before?"

Chloe grabbed Beca's hand as the two couples left the diner, laughing and smiling.
