A/N: HI! I am so so so so so so sorry i have not updated this in 6 months almost😭😭 i had a very eventful summer and did not use this app once lolll! But im back and i hope you're still here to see how this story pans out👀 if u don't remember what's happened, go back and read again! (Don't tell anyone but I've had to read the whole story to remember). im gonna be posting 1 chapter a week (maybe if we get the views up I'll post an extra one some weeks😋😋) anywaysssss let's get back into it!!!!! who thinks Beca and Chloe are getting engaged??? ME!!☝️☝️☝️
The Bellas all made their way to Chloe and Beca's apartment separately. Beca was still out getting food and Aubrey was the first to arrive. Chloe opened the door and welcomed Aubrey into a warm hug. The two girls usually saw each other once or twice a month but they hadn't been together in a month and a half. 
"Do you have it?" Chloe jumped up and down excitedly when she stepped back from Aubrey. 
"Chlo it's absolutely stunning. It's so gorgeous, Beca is going to love it." Aubrey handed the box to Chloe. 
Chloe opened it to look at the ring. It was a silver band with dark blue sapphires lined across it, the same colour as Beca's eyes. A tear fell from Chloe's eye. 
"Aubrey oh my god. I hope she says yes!" Chloe slightly laughed and Aubrey realised she was actually becoming worried. She put her hands on Chloe's shoulders. 
"Chloe don't be silly. It's Beca. Of course she's going to say yes." Aubrey rolled her eyes and Chloe pulled herself together. Of course Beca was going to say yes, why wouldn't she?
Chloe and Aubrey spent an hour together before some other Bellas started showing up. Emily was next to arrive and was so happy to see Chloe, who she would have considered her 'college mom'. Then the next to come were Stacie, Flo, Ashley & Jessica together, then CR and finally Lily. They were still waiting on Beca to arrive home with the food and for Amy to show up but they knew Amy would be late anyway. 
"Girls I'm so happy to see you all, it's been too long!" Chloe was never as content as she was when she was with the Bellas, apart from being with Beca of course.
The girls waited 20 minutes before Chloe started to get worried about Beca as she had been gone almost 2 hours at this stage. 
"I'm just gonna give her a call, I'll be right back." Chloe smiled and all the girls responded "Okay Chloe take your time!"
Chloe walked into her and Beca's bedroom and left the girls in the living room.  
They all engaged in conversation with one another since they hadn't caught up in so long. Aubrey was now working as a lawyer for her uncles law firm, Emily was recently out of college and working to become an accountant, Ashley & Jessica worked together in an elementary school just outside Manhattan, Stacie lived with her newest girlfriend who she wouldn't tell anyone the name of, Flo had gotten back into gymnastics except she was now coaching, and CR and Lily didn't have jobs and were trying to find new ones. 
"Hey Becs, please call me back if you get this. I'm getting worried you've been out so long. Everyone is here except Amy so I'm going to put out the cookies you got yesterday. Don't worry I'll buy you new ones but just until you get home I'll put these out. I love you so much baby,  please call me back darling." Chloe hung up the phone and she heard a quiet knock on her door. 
"Come in." She answered. 
Aubrey walked in towards Chloe and sat on the bed. She could see the worry on Chloe's face so she patted the bed beside her indicating to Chloe to sit down. Once Chloe did sit down, she rested her head on Aubrey's shoulder and Aubrey reached an arm around Chloe."
"Don't worry honey, Beca always comes back. She's like a cat after you feed it once." This made Chloe laugh a small bit and she sat up. Aubrey looked at her. 
"Cmon Chlo you know she'll be back in a few minutes. Did she say where she was going?"
Chloe shook her head. "No she just said she was going to get snacks and some drinks. I should've just gone myself and I'd be back by now and I'd have her in my arms. The closest store in only 3 blocks away she should be home Aubs."
"It's fine, she'll be back soon. Don't blame yourself for her taking so long. You'll get satisfaction when you give out to her when she's home." Aubrey nudged Chloe to show she was joking to lighten the mood a bit. 
"I know she'll be here soon. I'm getting worked up over nothing. Let's go back out to the girls?"
Aubrey nodded in response and they both went out to the rest of the Bellas. 
The other girls already had themselves engaged in a game of truth or dare, just like old times, and Stacie was currently giving CR a lap dance. Aubrey tensed up when she saw this but luckily no one noticed. Her and Stacie would come to that on a different day.
