NOT SO SECRETIVE

Chapter 9: Emily Junk

For one, Emily is not stupid. She can clearly see the hard crush both her Bella captains have on each other. They think she hasn't noticed. Do they actually think they're being subtle? Because every time they have rehearsal, the Bellas -mainly Stacie and Amy- keep on teasing them. And they have a right to, because sometimes Emily would look their way and Chloe would be kissing Beca's cheek, or giving her a massage, or something of the sort. What's most surprising though, is that Beca doesn't move away, there's a fraction of a second where Emily can see Beca's jump but she relaxes immediately when she realizes it's only Chloe.

It's adorable, she gives them that.

But she still has her doubts. Because the first time she noticed, which was way back in September, Chloe completely stops touching Beca. And Lord knows that Chloe communicates with her body, so when she realizes that she hasn't seen them make any contact in the three days she hung out with them, she visited the house.

She asked Stacie what happened, and she shrugged saying she doesn't know. She also asked Amy but she made a weird metaphor about dingoes and koalas, and ended it simply with 'it's typical Beca nature Legacy'.

But the next time she sees them, things are back to normal and she doesn't think more of it.

Back to present time, Emily was currently staying at the Bella house and rooming with Aubrey in the living room because her roommate decided to bring back some company. And Emily doesn't need to be told twice that that's her cue to leave. But right now it was just her and Beca in Beca's room. Emily was on Beca's bed, watching useless Youtube videos online, and Beca's mixing on her desk. They've been relatively quiet for a while until Beca's phone started to play Titanium. And Emily learned that that was Chloe's ringtone over the past year (She tried asking why once, but Beca blushed and brushed it off as nothing).

Beca reached for it on her bed while stretching on her desk chair, part of her shirt went up and Emily giggled lightly passing it to her. She read the text message and smiled down at the screen.

"Hey Chlo's back, and she's coming up," Beca said.

"Oh okay, I'll save her some pizza," Emily replied, setting aside a piece that Beca ordered an hour ago.

Beca goes back to mixing for a few moments, but started to glance at the mirror beside her.

"Hey legacy, do I look okay?" she asks.

Emily gives her a puzzled look, and replies slowly, "Sure Cap, you look fine…"

"Never mind." Beca quickly says again, fighting off a smirk.

Emily just quirks an eyebrow and goes back to watching her videos.

Chloe comes up a few moments later and greeted both of them. She gave Emily an awkward side hug, since she has her laptop and two pillows on her lap and side. Then she hugs Beca from the back and Emily wasn't paying attention closely but she thought she heard a kissing noise, she looked back to them but Chloe was just resting her head on Beca's shoulder.

Emily fell asleep watching a video not much later, and she woke up to whispering.

"Chlo…" Moan.

Emily immediately felt conscious. She didn't dare open her eyes yet, or move but did she actually hear Beca moan.

"Shh Becs… You gotta keep quiet. Legacy's sleeping." Chloe whispered back.

"Shit Chlo."

Thankfully Aubrey's voice rang around the house signalling that dinner's here, along with the clatter noise of the other Bellas. Emily heard giggling, then some more whispering, until Chloe is shaking her to wake up.

And. Holy Shit.

-Pandas-

She feels a bit like a stalker. She's pretty sure that they're well into their courtship. She had lunch again with Beca the next day and mid-way through, Emily might've said something about the decorations in Beca's room being more alive than she is, it's almost like a someone else got them for her. And Beca says,

"That's 'cause my girlfriend got most of these stuff for me. You know she's pretty into all these things Legacy," Beca replied with noodles in her mouth. Then she looked around the room and Beca's gaze fell into a framed picture of a photobooth hung up at her wall with her, Aubrey, Stacie and Chloe. Suddenly Emily's doubts all go away.

But she still needs to confirm it. Like seriously, how awkward would it be to tell Beca, "Oh hey I'm happy you're dating Chloe. Haha. Good for you!" When it turns out she's not. Or vice-versa.

Sometimes she thinks about letting them know that she knows, because pretending to be oblivious to the least subtle secret affair in history of secret affairs is a lot of effort. She decides against it though, and just enjoys their -failed- attempts at trying to hide it.

They don't make it easy though. Because when Beca texted Chloe if she wants to join them for dinner and turns red when she heard the reply come through, Emily literally needed to look away and bite her hard to stop teasing Beca about it.

And the time when Emily's noticed Beca wearing an old band shirt, and Chloe literally wearing it a few days later. She has to pretend to believe in a crazy story about mixed up laundry, because they live in a house. Who the hell mixes up laundry in a house.

When all the Bellas go out together, Emily has to ignore that Beca and Chloe disappear for a while ten minutes from the group and Chloe comes back with a totally different shade of lipstick. She does gives them credit for at least trying to get rid of the evidence, until she sees the tiny hickey Beca is sporting just bellow her buttoned flannel.

She's caught them just after they've done it too. She shows up at Chloe's room and Beca's already there, walking around with only a t-shirt and underwear. Chloe isn't afraid to look at Beca and every time Beca catches her, she trips over her words and forgets what she was saying. When Beca stretches a few moments later, Emily sees faint nail marks on her back. She excuses herself to go the the bathroom, and she hears giggling and shuffling, and when she comes back Beca's wearing pants. And they at least manage to act like they're not seconds away from jumping on each other.

Seriously though, the tension is awful.

-Pandas-

A few days later, she calls Beca to tell her that she needs to go home for the weekend so she'll miss Friday and Saturday's practice. Beca was talking about the possible ways that Emily could make up for it, when she gasps loudly and then it goes quiet for a second.

"Cap?" Emily asks.

"Oh yeah Legacy, so I'll email you?" Her voice ends on a high pitched sound.

"Beca are you okay?"

"I'm good! Hey listen, can we call later? I really need- Shit! Sorry Ems, gotta go!"

Emily's worried for a second that Beca's mad, but then she heard Chloe laugh for a split second before the call died. And she really didn't need to know that Chloe's laugh could get so… so… explicit.

Well that's one more thing for Emily to never hope to hear again.

-Pandas-

When she comes back on Monday, and no email was received, Emily went over to the Bella house. She tried to call Beca's or Chloe's phone, but received no reply. She almost called Stacie, but forgot that she was in class, so she decided to not.

When Emily knocked on Beca's door, she hears her mixing music playing loudly, and when she receives no answer, she just walks in, assuming Beca can't hear the knocking.

When she walks in, the first thing she sees is Beca standing naked in the middle of the room.

"Oh my god!" Emily shouts, shutting her eyes and covering them with her hand. Beca screams, and went behind the walk-in wardrobe to hide behind it.

"Becs?" Emily hears Chloe call, and then hears footsteps and the music go off.

"Chloe you better not be freaking naked too." Emily shouts, still covering her eyes.

"Emily?!"

"Chlo, here, catch," Beca says. She heard clothes rustling and the wardrobe door closing.

"Okay Em, you can open your eyes," Emily peeks between her fingers for safe measure and removed them completely. Chloe is wearing a big t-shirt, that Emily won't be surprised if it's Amy's, and her hair's so wild and tangled that makes it so obvious that they just had sex. Beca is more clothed, with a shirt and sweatpants, and her face is flushed.

"Emily, what the fuck are you doing here?" Chloe frustratedly asks.

"Beca didn't send me any email, and you two won't answer your phones!"

"Oh shit," Beca says and Chloe giggles lightly, "I forgot,"

"Yeah I can clearly see that."

"Listen Legacy I-,"

"What's going on here? Like seriously, do you think we're blind to this? Are you guys dating? Friends with benefits? Engaged? I hope not engaged, not that I have problem but you guys are like still in college so-"

"Legacy!" Both of them called.

"Sorry,"

"Listen I thought we made it pretty clear that we're dating," Beca said obviously, like of course Emily knew that. Of course.

"WHEN? Clearly, I'm missing something here." Emily said, flailing her arms.

"Wait you didn't know?" Chloe asked.

"Know that you guys were dating? No."

"All the others did… Oh wait. You weren't here that night!" Chloe pointed out.

"That night? Wha- Am I the only one who doesn't know?" Emily asked, suddenly feeling very left out. "I mean. I know I'm the newbie, but am I that untrustable that you guys won't even tell me this? I'm still a Bella too you know,"

"Legacy it's not like that," Beca said pinching the bridge of her nose. "We just forgot,"

"Yeah. You seem to be doing that a lot lately," Emily spat back. "You know what, I'll just ask Stacie or Amy for the stuff. Sorry for interrupting," She finished, and ran downstairs.

"Emily!" She heard Chloe call. "Wait!"

Emily realized that she walked here, and is not up to running her way back to her dorms, stopped at the bottom of the staircase. She crossed her arms, and looked at Chloe.

"Ems, it's not that we didn't want to tell you. It's just…" Chloe started.

"We thought you already knew, like we swear if we knew you didn't know, we would've told you," Beca said sincerely.

Emily bit her lip and looked towards her captains. "I mean, I guess I overreacted. Even if you wanted to keep it a secret, then I shouldn't be mad."

"We're sorry Ems," Chloe smiled hugging her.

"I guess I am too, and you didn't miss much at rehearsal. There's not like anything major that you needed to know, just practice the routines yeah?" Beca smirked.

"Okay, I can do that," Emily smiled too.

"I brought food!" Stacie shouts. "If you guys aren't here in 5- Oh you guys are here,"

"Ooh food." Beca said, taking the bags from her and going to the kitchen.

"Hi Em," Stacie waved, then feeling the emptiness in her hands, she said, "Becs! That's not all for you!"

"Yea I know! Do you really think I could eat this heap ton of food?"

"Probably."

"Fuck you."

"Chlo, would you look at your girlfriend? So immature." Stacie complained, going into the kitchen. Chloe giggled and followed her, "You're one to say,"

Emily can't help it. She laughs and follows them to the kitchen.
