Walking On Sunshine - Bechloe mini fic

Alright, I hope this little mini fic sparks my mojo again to write more and more often. I hope you enjoy the story! And thank you for all the support, I really do appreciate it!!!

Chapter 1: Holiday

The flight attendants go through the isles one more time, collecting the last bits of garbage and making sure everyone is in the right position, with their seats up and trays collected. One of them passes an excited Chloe, who is buzzing in her seat as the plane is about to land safely to the ground.

It has been 3 years since she had been to Puglia, 3 years since she left... since she left the one person she ever fell in love with. She had always planed to go back and find the brunette and rekindle their relationship. Yet something always came up and it tugged at her heart every time she thought of her. She hated herself for not keeping contact with her.

*Flashback: Puglia, Italy - 3 years ago*

The sun is setting beautifully and the orange and purple colours make everything extremely romantic. Most people would be out having dinner so the beach is empty, except for one couple in the distance. The two are laying in the sand, enjoying the view and playing with each other’s fingers.

“What can I do to make you stay?” The brunette muses quietly which makes the redhead in her arms roll her eyes with a smile. “Sei la luce delle mie ochi.” The redhead raises her brow in confusion, not having understood the Italian sentence. “Huh?” The brunette chuckles lightly. “You are the light of my eyes.” She explains, gently pressing a kiss on her girlfriend’s cheek.

“Oh, I bet you say that to all the girls.” Chloe says with a playful shove and a smirk in place because no matter if the brunette had said the same thing to other girls it was still the most romantic thing she had ever heard. “Normally I talk about the shiny hair, or something like that.” The brunette says full of sarcasm. Chloe sighs and looks up to the sky and then back at her loved one’s metallic blue eyes that shine in the setting sunlight. “I don’t want to go home.” She says wistfully. “Then don’t.”

Chloe shakes her head. “I’m starting university, real life. I have to do this. And… and we can make this work.” The brunette shakes her head and looks down at the sand. “Chloe, this is real life, what we have.” The redhead doesn’t know what to answer to this so stays quiet so she can think about it. “Chloe, I love you.” A bright smile appears on the redheads face as she leans forward to capture her true love’s lips for a passionate kiss.

* End Flashback*

How she ended up in the cue for the taxis Chloe has no idea but she gets pulled out of her thoughts very suddenly and her excitement is all over the place. She can’t stop looking around, and keeps recognising some things and finding new things that hadn’t been there before. Smiling at all the people she sees, some obviously there for a holiday and others in business suits, all in different sizes and ethnicities.

Eventually she manages to get into a taxi and tell the driver the address where her sister lives. The drive is peaceful and Chloe keeps smiling as she recognises parts of the road and the little houses scattered beside it. “Your first time in Puglia?” The driver asks, intrigued by the girls reaction to everything. “No, I was here 3 years ago.” Chloe answers politely, smiling at the driver.

A little while later the taxi driver stops at a huge mansion and Chloe gets out of the car. She barely manages to close the door when a tall brunette runs out with a scream and pulls her into a tight hug. “Chloe! C- bear is here! It’s so good to see you.” Chloe laughs carefree as she wraps her arms around her sister. The hug doesn’t last too long and the brunette lets go of her sister to grab the luggage the taxi driver is holding. “Grazie mille.” (Thank you very much.) She says gratefully. “Prego.” (You’re welcome.)

The girls run inside, giggling loudly as they try to keep up with each other. “So, how was the flight?” Maddie asks her little sister. “How were the exams? Is it raining? Tell me it’s raining in Atlanta, it’s raining isn’t it.” Chloe doesn’t manage to get a word out. Having been completely mesmerised by the gorgeous mansion and it’s yards. “This place is great.” Maddie rolls her eyes with a smile. “Wait until you see the inside.” Maddie says as she pulls her sister further into the premises. “Come on.”

“Oh my god... Not quite the Pensione I recommend.” Chloe says with a light gasp. “Isn’t it heaven?” Maddie asks mockingly. Chloe nods her head with a bright smile on her face that soon turn serious when she remembers why she’s here in the first place. “So, how are you?” Chloe asks. “Fabulous.” Maddie answers with a shrug. “Really?” Chloe asks unconvinced. “What’s on your iPod?”

“Ugh I don’t know, but I can tell you it will not be anything like Nothing Compares To You.” Maddie reaches out and grabs her sisters hands and starts pulling her towards the open window from where you can step out into the garden. “Don’t tell me you’re actually over Doug?” Chloe asks incredulously while letting herself being pulled forward. “Doug who? This is the best holiday ever. I’m in love.”

“Puglia is beautiful isn’t it.” Chloe says, not really noticing how her sister’s voice wavered for a brief second. “I knew you’d love it. And thanks for flying me out.” Maddie gently rubs her sister’s arms with a smile. “Hey, I wanted to celebrate your graduation. Congratulations on being officially the cleverest one by the way.” Chloe rolls her eyes. “Thank you. You’ll always be better at ballet.” Maddie thinks about it playfully and agrees with a shrug. “Hmm true. But, bringing you here was surprise number one...”

Chloe’s eyes widen as she doesn’t know what to expect when she gets pulled towards the window, she doesn’t get a chance to look outside when her sister starts talking again. “Are you decent?” The question throws Chloe off but it all comes together the she hears two voices from outside. “Who me?” Two female voices say at the same time.

“Fat Amy?! Aubrey?!” Chloe runs past her sister and straight into her two best friend’s arms. “Hi little professor.” Fat Amy says with a smile. “Hi Chlo, haven’t see you since graduation.” Aubrey jokes making the redhead squeal loudly. “You never said you would be here.” Chloe says still looking as if the greatest thing just happened. “Well, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if I had told you.” Aubreys says with a sly smile.

“And how could we have not come, when Maddie told us Doug had dumped her we knew we had to come here. Because come on, yes, hallelujah, man tox time. And is there a better way to spend my book advance?” Fat Amy chimes in with wink.

“Tiziana, ancora una brocca di Apperol Spritz per favore.” (Tiziana, one more can of Apperol Spritz, please.) Maddie shouts out to the old cleaning lady of the mansion. “Si.” (Yes.) The woman answers uninterested. “E anche un bicchiere per voi.” (And take a glass for yourself as well.) The woman scoffs. “Per me? Baaa...” (For me. Ugh.) Maddie looks down at her friends with a confused and awkward smile.

Chloe looks up and is really impressed. “Nice Italian though.” Fat Amy snickers. “She has gotten very familiar with the Italian tongue.” Maddie, Fat Amy and Aubrey chuckle at the inside joke. “Well, tell her.” Chloe looks confused as Fat Amy points at her sneakily. Maddie sits up from her pool chair so she can fully look her little sister in the eye. “I’m getting married.”

Chloe chokes on her drink. “I’m sorry, I just though you said you were getting married?” The redhead manages to choke out with an awkward laugh. “Isn’t it amazing?” Maddie says excitedly. “Oh my god!” Chloe shouts. “Not to Doug?” Maddie scrunches up her face in disgust. “Oh god no.” The redhead is now left completely confused. “B-but you’re on man tox, you’re supposed to be finding yourself.”

Maddie casually shrugs her shoulders with a smile. “But I did... here I am... and there she was so there we are.” The more she tries to explain it, the more awkward she gets. “You’re crazy, how long have you know this guy?” Chloe asks, trying to understand what’s going on in her sister’s mind. “Five weeks, but it’s enough. When you know, you know... You know?”

“You said that about Doug.” Chloe shoots back at her sister still shocked. “And Marcel, and Conner.” Chloe says disappointedly. “And Tarquin.” Aubrey quickly adds. “This, this is different, she’s sensitive and kind and gentle.” Chloe’s face still looks disappointed. “Definitely not Dough then.” The cleaning lady comes up to them and slams the can on the table. “Grazie.” The older woman puts up a fake smile. “Prego.” (You’re welcome.) She says before walking away. The three girls share some looks, not really understanding what they did wrong to piss the woman off.

Chloe is the first to snap out of it and continues to question her sister about her decisions. “At least tell me it’s a long engagement.” Maddie scrunches up her nose. “That’s why I had to get you here,” The brunette looks at her best friends before looking back at her sister. “the wedding is in two days.” Chloe’s jaw drops and is momentarily stunned. “That is insane!” She finally manages to tell her sister. Maddie lets out a laugh. “I know.”

Both sister turn to Fat Amy and Aubrey. “Don’t look at me.” The Australian says offended. “Puglia was your idea.” She adds defensively. “I don’t remember telling her to marry the first man she found when she got out of the taxi.” Aubrey nods her head, agreeing with the redhead. “It wasn’t the first man...” Maddie takes a second to think about it. “... it was the first woman though.” She says uncomfortably.

Chloe shakes her head. “Have you lost your mind?” Maddie nods her head with a cheeky smile. “Look C, I was freaked out as well but she is a great woman. And you know I never say that.” Chloe looks at Aubrey and relaxes a bit. She then turns to face her sister again. “I still can’t believe she wants to marry me.” Fat Amy gets up to refill her glass with an eye roll. “Oh please, don’t start that again, you know why.”

“I do?” Maddie muses. “Yes, because you’re a goddess.” Chloe rolls her eyes at Fat Amy. “Well I guess that must be it.” Maddie says with a huge grin as she puts on her sunglasses. Chloe pulls a face at the comment.

The four of them lay back in their seats as the cleaning lady passes them by. The older woman pulls a face at Chloe before continuing to do her job. When the lady has gone Maddie turns to face her sister. Chloe lets out a sigh; “What? What am I supposed to say? That I’m thrilled?” Maddie shrugs. “Well.” Chloe rolls her eyes. “I’m thrilled it’s not Doug.” This elicits a chuckle from Aubrey. “I’ll drink to that.”

“I look forward to meeting her.” Maddie’s smile grows wide. “Well, you will, tonight, there’s a dinner. You’re gonna love her.” Chloe huffs, not quite knowing wether to believe her sister or not. “Anyway, what about you? Anything to report?” Maddie asks with a cheeky grin.

Chloe sits up and looks at her sister with an annoyed look. “Finals went ok, I may have messed up pa-” The brunette quickly cuts her sister off. “I don’t mean barring stuff. I meant boys.” Chloe rolls her eyes, of course that’s what her sister meant. “Oh come on, you’re out of the library now, you have got to let your hair down. You’re in a goddess out.” The redheaded sister groans loudly. “I’m not like you. I don’t go all wobbly every time a boy takes his shirt off.”

“Maybe she is just saving herself for her old flame.” Aubrey teases with a huge grin. “Who? What?” Maddie's asks confused. “This is where C fell in love too, isn’t that right?” Fat Amy adds. “Chloe doesn’t fall in love, she’s too sensible.” Chloe just shrugs her shoulders at her sister. “Wh-? I’m your sister and I don’t know this, hello?”

Chloe chuckles lightly. “It was just a holiday romance.” Maddie sits up entirely to look at her sister. She couldn’t believe her baby sister never told her she fell in love in Puglia. “Just a holiday romance?” The brunette gets up and moves to sit on her sisters sun bed. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“You were in the middle of one of your worst break ups with Doug.” Maddie's shakes her head in astonishment. “So what happened?” She asks. “Nothing, the holiday ended and UNI started and life just got in the way.” Chloe explains as if it were nothing big. But only the thought of the brunette she met all those years ago made her heart ache. “This is so exciting, you’re back here maybe you can rekindle the whole thing.”

The redhead shakes her head with a sad sigh. “No, she was off to travel the world.” Fat Amy’s voice reaches them seconds later. “Exes are like fireworks, never go back to them. Either they blow up in your face or...” The blonde accidentally squeezes her sunscreen bottle to tight and squirts the creme out of the bottle, making everyone laugh. “Or they go all limp.” She adds with a shrug.

The entire situation put Chloe to think and a crazy idea popped into her mind. “I think I might get changed and pop down to the beach.” She says, her mind racing a million miles an hour. “See if I can recognise any of the old crowd.” Of course the sneaky smile on the redhead’s face said it all. “I still can’t believe she fell in love here in Puglia, and just like me... to a girl.” Maddie says to her two blonde friends with a gentle smile sweeping over her face.
