“I think I’m going to throw up.”
Couple’s skydiving wasn’t really a wedding present Beca had in mind.
Of course Amy was the one to gift it.
“We’ll be fine,” her wife (holy shit, her wife. She still had to get used to that) assured her in that unwavering optimism of hers that Beca usually admired.
She grumbled something in response. “If one of us dies it’ll be one of the quickest marriages in history.”
Chloe hit her arm. “Stop. Don’t say stuff like that.”
“Sorry,” Beca said, actually meaning it as she leaned in to press a kiss to Chloe’s cheek.
“No,” Beca replied petulantly.
“Gimme a kiss,” Chloe requested, turning her head. “Might be our last one.”
“You started it,” Chloe quipped with a wink.
Their respective harnesses were strapped to the ones worn by their instructors, and Beca was soon literally hanging from the edge of the plane.
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,” she muttered under her breath as the instructor counted down before jumping out of the plane.
She couldn’t hear herself scream as the freezing air whistled into her ears during the freefall, knocking the oxygen out of her lungs. It lasted three to four seconds, then she was suddenly floating.
“Oh my god,” she repeated as she tried to catch her breath. “Is Chloe alright? Did her parachute open??” She asked, looking around.
“To your right,” the instructor told her and sure enough, Beca caught sight of Chloe floating just above them.
“Oh thank god.” Once the adrenaline rush had subsized, Beca had the chance to take in the breathtaking view. Lush forests, white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters lay below them. “Wow.”
“You alright, babe?” Chloe shouted as they slowly made their way down.
“Yeah, I’ll live,” Beca cried back, giving her a thumbs up.
They landed around ten minutes later, and Beca could finally breathe properly. Chloe walked over with a wide grin. “Cool, huh?”
“Jesus, I’m never doing that again,” Beca told her, her chuckle strained from leftover adrenaline. “But yeah, it was really cool.”
Chloe pecked her lips. “I love you, wifey.”
Beca felt her heart swell. How she had gotten so lucky as to have Chloe as her partner for life, she still had no idea, but she wasn’t going to take any of it for granted and appreciate every minute. “I love you, too.”
