Amant Interdit

(Forbidden Lover)

Aubrey stood at the Activities Fair with her best friend Chloe and was handing out fliers to whomever would take it.

"Chloe, what are we going to do?" she sighed.

"Calm down Bree. We can do this. Its our year." Chloe said, putting a comforting hand on her arm. "Why don't we just get good singers?" she asked.

After meeting a blonde named Fat Amy, Chloe spotted a petite brunette, with huge headphones around her neck.

"What about her?" she asked, a big smile on her face.

Aubrey turned and was taken aback by how pretty she was. Even with that ear monstrosities, and heavy make up.

"Uh, I don't know. She seems a little too alternative for us." Before she even finished the sentence, before Chloe motioned for her to come over.

"Hi! Any interest in joining our acapella group?" she asked, way too enthusiastically.

Aubrey gave the girl another once over, and then glared at her.

"Wow, well, aren't you just a bucket of sunshine." She winked at Aubrey. She turned to Chloe. "I'll think about it. It just sounds really lame, sorry."

Aubrey was fuming. "How dare you!" her voice unnaturally high. "Synchronized lady dancing is anything but lame!" The girl's eyes widened and she smirked. Aubrey wanted to smack the smug smirk off her face. It was hot. Wait. Huh?

"Well, as fun as this convo has been, I got places to be." She winked again at Aubrey and shook hands with Chloe. "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch your name?"

Chloe beamed. "I'm Chloe. And this is Aub- oof." Aubrey elbowed her in the ribs.

The girl smirked. "Aub. Nice. I'm Beca. I'll see you around Aub." She saluted at them lazily and walked away.

"I hope she can sing." Chloe whispered.

Much to Aubrey's dismay, she runs into Beca again at the café right next to the quad.

"Well, if it isn't Aub." She smirked.

Aubrey sighed and rubbed her temples. "My name is not Aub. It's Aubrey. Don't call me Aub."

"Woah woah woah. Calm down a little babe. I'm just fuckin' with you." Beca said, her smirk ever-present.

"Don't call me babe." She sighed. "I'm not your babe."

"Whatever you want, babe." Aubrey rolled her eyes.

"Are you going to audition?" she asked, suddenly, surprising herself.

The younger girl looked shocked, but quickly recovered. "Do you want me to? All ya gotta do is ask me." She said, sitting across from her.

"We just need good singers. That's it." Aubrey said.

"You don't know if I can sing or not." Beca pointed out.

"Well can you?" she asked.

Beca simply shook her head.

"Oh, too bad." She smiled slightly.

"You wanna know something babe?" Beca asked, ignoring Aubrey's eye roll.

"What?" she sighed.

"You have the greenest eyes I have ever seen, and there distracting." She whispered.

Aubrey blushed and looked away. Beca smiled. "Well. This was fun. Maybe we should do this again." She wrote her number on a napkin and handed it to Aubrey. She winked and left.

The next day, as Aubrey was studying for her test in the living room, when Chloe busts in the apartment.

"Aubrey! You'll never guess what I just found out!" she squealed out eventually, beaming at Aubrey.

Aubrey just shook her head. "Oh? What did you find out?"

Chloe smiled so wide, Aubrey was sure it would break her face. "I was with Tom in the showers, and I heard the Alt girl singing! So I went into her shower and-"

Aubrey cut her off. "You burst into her shower!" she laughed.

Chloe rolled her eyes. "I made her sing with me! And she has… well…"

"Has what? You can't start and not tell me!"

"A dick." She whispered.

"Oh." Aubrey whispered back.

"Oh my god, you didn't-"

"No! Aubrey I didn't have sex with your little lady crush.

Aubrey's eyes widened. "She is not my lady crush! You know I'm dating Luke!" Aubrey screeched.

Chloe rolled her eyes. "You know, you should live on the wind side for once. And That would be wild. Dump Luke and go for your lady crush. Just do it." Aubrey shook her head. "I'm not gay." she sighed. "Wait. She told me she couldn't sing.."

"She can. She's amazing!" Chloe gushed.

Aubrey pulled up Beca's number and called.

"Hey babe. I knew you'd call." beca said.

"You already have her number! Just ask her out!" Chloe yelled.

Beca chuckled. "Ask me out, huh?"

Aubrey scoffed. "You wish. Now whats this about you being able to sing?" Aubrey asked.

"You got that right. Anyway, I can, when i want to. Maybe I will audition for your little music group. Maybe. So, how does coffee sound tomorrow? Same place?"

"Sure. Just come to the auditorium and try." Aubrey smiled. "But, not a date."

"You let her call you babe! You don't even let Luke do that!" Chloe exclaimed from behind her.

"Ah, so Luke is your boyfriend." she scoffed. "All he is muscle and a british accent. And Chloe agrees with me, by the ways she's laughing. Oh, and you should tell her she has no sense of boundaries. What if i had been masturbating?" she laughed.

"I know and it wouldn't have been that bad!"Chloe said.

Aubrey flushed a shade of red. "Whatever. See you tomorrow."

She hung up and glared at Chloe.

"What?" she asked.

Aubrey rolled her eyes and sighed. She gathered her things and went to the gym. She needed to clear her head.
