Aubrey walked to the center of the room. "That's enough for today. Can you sit for a minute? I need to talk to you."

Aubrey had been in a better mood since her date with Stacie. Rehearsals had been more productive since she had stopped yelling, even though she still made them do an insane amount of cardio. But the girls had been enjoying themselves more and actually trying harder.

Everyone exchanged worried looks. Beca raised an eyebrow at Chloe who shrugged, just as confused as everyone else. When she came back from her date, Chloe had apologized for jumping to conclusions about Stacie without knowing all the facts. Aubrey had accepted her apology, knowing she had only done it because she was trying to protect Aubrey.

Chloe hoped nothing bad had happened. She knew Aubrey hadn't seen Stacie since their date, but whenever Aubrey wasn't in rehearsal or in class, she had her phone in her hand and a huge smile on her face. She hadn't noticed if Aubrey had been texting Stacie before rehearsal, but everything had seemed fine until now.

Aubrey waited for everyone to be seated and looked at them with a tight smile. "Stacie is coming over to the house tomorrow and-"

"So you and legs are getting serious?"

"No, she's just coming over for a movie. And her name is Stacie."

Cynthia Rose raised her hand. "Have you slept with her?"

"No-"

"Oh, so that's what this is about? You're trying to get her to put out?" Fat Amy wiggled her eyebrows.

"What? No. How did this become a Q&A on my relationship?"

Fat Amy scratched her chin. "So there is a relationship?"

Aubrey let out a frustrated groan and threw her arms up, turning around to collect herself. Chloe stood up from her chair and moved to her side. "Guys, come on, Aubrey's relationship with Stacie is none of our business." She moved closer to whisper. "I'll sleep in Beca's room."

Aubrey rolled her eyes and turned to face the group again. "Can you just behave like normal people for one night?" Everyone looked at her like they didn't know what she was talking about. "And just not go into the living room? I mean, you can come and say hi but that's it."

They all nodded and made various noises of confused acquiescence. Aubrey figured it was the best she was gonna get from them so she dismissed them and turned to collect her things.

Chloe followed her to the side of the room. "So, big night tomorrow."

Aubrey blushed and shook her head. "We're just watching movies."

"Right, that's why you went sexy underwear shopping yesterday." Aubrey raised an eyebrow at her. Chloe shrugged. "I saw the pink bag in the trash."

"Fine, maybe I'm hoping something will happen. If those weirdos don't freak her out." She waved her hand at the empty room behind her.

Chloe chuckled. "I'll see what I can do, maybe I can talk them into a group dinner somewhere else. Besides, she's Beca's friend, she's used to a little weirdness."

Aubrey scoffed. "I guess."

"It's going to be alright, Bree, she's crazy about you." Chloe gave her a one armed hug and walked her out of the auditorium. "Just try to keep it down, there will be other people in the house and you can be a little loud."

Aubrey pushed Chloe off her. "I'm not loud."

Chloe raised her eyebrows. "Aubrey, I've lived with you for over three years."

Aubrey crossed her arms and walked faster. "Whatever."

Stacie nudged Beca awake when the class was over. "Tired from rehearsal?"

Beca stifled a yawn and shook her head. "Late shift at the station. Actually, Aubrey's been pretty chill lately. Thanks for that." A dopey grin took over Stacie's face and Beca rolled her eyes. "You're ridiculous."

"I'm not!" Stacie's phone buzzed in her pocket and she took it out, her smile growing wider. She quickly typed a response and put it back in her pocket, rolling her eyes when she noticed Beca's amused expression. "Okay, maybe I am a little ridiculous but, can you blame me?"

Beca chuckled and shook her head. "So, I hear you're coming over later."

"Yeah, we're watching a movie." Stacie bit her lip nervously. "Are the rest of the girls gonna be in the house?"

"I don't know, it's a Friday night so they usually go out. Why, you want us out of the way?" Beca smirked at her.

"No, I mean, eventually." Stacie shrugged. "I'm just worried. The Bellas are a big part of Aubrey's life, what if don't like me?"

"You're kidding, right? Everyone already loves you, you got Aubrey off our backs. Jessica and Ashley were talking about baking you a cake." Beca patted her back. "Besides, you're just their brand of crazy. You'll get along perfectly."

"I hope so." Stacie frowned doubtfully. "Do you think you can put in a good word for me?"

"Sure, Stace." She bumped shoulders with her.

Stacie took a deep breath and straightened her shirt before knocking on the door. After a few seconds, the door was opened by Cynthia Rose, who looked her over and gave out a low whistle. "Damn, you're hot." She opened the door wider and turned around to yell up the stairs. "Cap, your date's here!"

She motioned Stacie to come in and led her to the living room. "So, Stacie, is it?" Stacie nodded as she sat on the couch. "I'm Cynthia Rose."

Fat Amy came out of the kitchen holding a cookie plate. "Legs! Right on time, good for you. Captain Posen frowns on tardiness."

They sat in front of Stacie looking at her. Stacie smiled and nodded awkwardly, wondering if Aubrey was going to take too long. "What movie are you watching?"

"Lord of the Rings. I thought that if Aubrey's gonna keep calling Beca a hobbit she should know more about them."

Fat Amy laughed. "You're funny. I like you."

Ashley popped her head out from the kitchen door. "Hey, do you want some cookies? We just baked them."

Stacie looked over at her smiling. "Sure! Thanks."

Ashley went back into the kitchen and came out a couple of seconds later with a cookie plate, followed by Jessica. "Hi, I'm Ashley and this is Jessica." She placed the plate in front of Stacie.

"Hi. Stacie." Stacie reached for a cookie and ate it, feeling incredibly self conscious with four pairs of eyes looking at her.

"What are you nerds doing?" Beca walked into the living room. "Oh hey, Stace, you're here."

"Beca!" Stacie stood up and practically ran to her. She hugged her and whispered in her ear. "Everyone's staring at me. I don't know what to do."

Beca laughed and pushed her off and turned around. "Aubrey, Stacie is here!"

Stacie looked up when she heard someone coming down the stairs, smiling when she saw Aubrey in a blue sundress. "I'm coming."

Aubrey matched her smile and winked at her when they locked eyes, skipping down the rest of the stairs and stopping in front of her. "Hey."

"Hey." Stacie's arms immediately surrounded her waist, her fingers intertwining on her back. Aubrey was barefoot, making their height difference more patent. Aubrey's hands wrapped around Stacie's neck and pulled her down for a soft kiss which was immediately interrupted by the cheering coming from the girls behind them.

Aubrey pulled back blushing and took a step around Stacie. "What are you doing here?"

Fat Amy took a bite from a cookie and smirked. "We live here." Aubrey glared at them. "Right, we'll get out of your way. Nice seeing you again, legs."

Aubrey turned around when the other girls left. "I'm sorry about that, they can be a bit nosy."

Stacie walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her again. "It's okay, they gave me cookies."

"Really?" Stacie nodded and kissed her. Aubrey moved her hand to Stacie's chest, her thumb brushing over her clavicle.

Stacie deepened the kiss, pushing Aubrey back until she was pinned against the back of the couch. Aubrey smiled and pulled back enough to speak. "Did you bring the movie?"

Stacie nodded and tried to kiss Aubrey again but the blonde moved back, wiggling out from in between her and the couch and taking her hand to pull her to the other side to sit. She pushed Stacie onto the couch and hovered over her, pecking her lips once before standing back. "I'll go get the popcorn, don't move."

Stacie watched her walk to the kitchen, sitting back and smiling when the door closed behind her. She closed her eyes briefly, thinking about Aubrey's lips, when she felt something brush against her feet. She yelped and pulled her feet up on the couch, looking down to find a girl crawling out from under it.

Stacie's yelp made Aubrey run back in from the kitchen. "Lilly, what are you doing?" The girl mumbled something and Aubrey shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I don't… can we have some privacy, please?"

Lilly nodded and gave Stacie a shy nod before walking out of the living room. Aubrey groaned and sat on the couch. "They're usually not this bad, I promise."

Stacie chuckled and scooted closer to Aubrey. "They look fun." Aubrey quirked an eyebrow. "In an insane kinda way."

Stacie kissed her, making Aubrey forget about the rest of the girls. "Start the movie, I'll be right back."

Aubrey came back with a bowl of popcorn and placed it on the coffee table. Stacie pulled her down next to her, wrapping her arm around her waist. Aubrey kissed her cheek and leaned back against her to watch the movie.

Stacie moved forward to take the popcorn bowl without letting go of Aubrey. She set the bowl on her lap so they could both reach it, popping a few kernels into her mouth. She turned her head and pressed her lips to the top of Aubrey's head, inhaling the scent of her shampoo and exhaling with a small sigh.

"Oh look, that place is called Bree!"

Stacie looked up at the screen for the first time. "What?"

"On the map. It says Bree." Aubrey elbowed Stacie. "You're not paying attention."

"I've seen this!" She squeezed Aubrey's waist. "Now, shush, they're gonna explain hobbits now."

Aubrey rolled her eyes but turned back to the screen, taking a handful of popcorn. Aubrey felt Stacie's hand moving against her waist in slow circles and it took all of her willpower to pay attention to the movie.

Aubrey shifted against Stacie. "It's been half an hour and nothing's happened."

"They're setting up the story!" Stacie put the empty popcorn bowl on the table and moved Aubrey closer, practically on her lap.

"Well something better happen soon." Aubrey tried to sound more displeased, but she was really enjoying being this close to Stacie.

"It will." Stacie nuzzled her neck. "Pay attention."

"You're not making it easy."

Stacie chuckled and placed a kiss on her neck. "I can move to the other side of the couch."

Aubrey clasped her hand over Stacie's on her waist. "No, stay. I'll pay attention."

Stacie smiled smugly and rested her chin on Aubrey's shoulder. She'd seen the movie a bunch of times so she really didn't need to pay attention. She decided to pay attention to Aubrey instead, starting with her hand. She turned her palm up and ran her fingers along its lines. Aubrey's fingers twitched but she kept looking at the screen.

Stacie laced their fingers and squeezed a little, focusing on every place where her hand touched Aubrey's. "If the evil guy made the ring, why can't he just make a new one?"

Stacie hummed considering the question. "Maybe he used all his ring magic with the first one." Aubrey gave her a disbelieving glare. "Maybe it had to be forged at the same time as the others! I don't know."

"I thought you knew everything about this." Aubrey said in a teasing tone.

"I know the answers to the reasonable questions! If Sauron could just make a new ring then there would be no story." Stacie pouted.

Aubrey chuckled and kissed Stacie's lower lip until she stopped pouting and kissed her back. She turned her body and deepened the kiss, moving fully on top of Stacie's lap. Stacie's hand moved to her leg, under the edge of her dress, while the other one tangled in her hair. "Do you want to take this to my room?"

"What about the movie?" Stacie's hand moved higher under Aubrey's dress, her thumb moving in circles on her inner thigh.

Aubrey bit down on Stacie's lower lip. "We can watch it later."

Aubrey got up and pulled Stacie with her, keeping their lips locked as much as she could. When they got to the stairs, she turned around and grabbed her hand, moving quickly up to her room and closing the door behind them.

Stacie pinned her to the door, kissing her hungrily and pushing her back by her hips, her thumbs moving over her hip bones. Aubrey moaned as Stacie slid her hands to her lower back and down to the top of her legs and under her dress. She pressed Aubrey against her leg, tracing the edge of her underwear. Aubrey moaned louder and Stacie moved her mouth to her neck.

"Stace." Stacie bit down on her neck and pressed her leg up again. Aubrey rolled her hips closer to Stacie's leg and buried her hands in her hair.

Stacie pulled Aubrey's dress over her head and took a step back, admiring the blonde's body. Stacie traced her finger over the edge of Aubrey's lacy bra and down her abdomen, flicking the little bow on the front of her underwear. "You had no intention on watching the movie, had you?"

Aubrey bit her lip and smirked. "I just hoped you'd want to do this instead."

She took a step forward and pushed Stacie back towards her bed. Stacie flipped them around when she felt the edge of the bed and Aubrey fell onto it. Stacie took off her shorts and her shirt slowly, enjoying the way Aubrey licked her lips and her eyes darkened.

Stacie crawled over her, stopping to kiss around her belly button. She dipped her tongue inside Aubrey's belly button. Her hands parted Aubrey's thighs and she settled comfortably between her legs. She moved higher, dragging her nose up her abdomen and pressing wet kisses over her skin. She continued in between her breasts and up her left breast, dragging her teeth over it.

Stacie moved higher and pressed her face to Aubrey's neck, reaching over to take her hands and pull them above her head, lacing their fingers and pressing her whole body against Aubrey's. She pulled back and looked at Aubrey, smiling down at her.

She brushed a lock of her away from her forehead and looked at her thoughtfully. "Why did you accept to go out with me?"

Aubrey quirked an eyebrow at her. "Do you really wanna talk about this now?" Stacie nodded. "The truth?" Stacie nodded again.

"I'm not sure. I mean, it didn't hurt that you look the way you do." Stacie frowned. "But there was something else." Aubrey freed one of her hands and cupped Stacie's cheek, running her thumb over her bottom lip. "And every time I find out something new about you, that something else grows. I don't know how to explain it, but you make me feel better than anyone else."

Stacie smiled shyly, turning her head to kiss Aubrey's wrist. "You make me feel better than anyone else too." Stacie pressed her hips down on Aubrey's. "And now I'm gonna make you feel a lot…" She pecked her lips. "lot…" She placed a kiss in between her breasts. "lot better."

She kissed below her belly button, sliding Aubrey's underwear down slowly. She nudged Aubrey's thighs open with her nose, nipping softly at the skin there. She moved up Aubrey's leg at an agonizing pace, making Aubrey squirm against her.

Aubrey traced the shell of Stacie's ear. "Stace, please."

Stacie smirked against her leg, she bit down a bit harder before moving on and hovering over Aubrey's center. She gave it a long slow swipe with her tongue. Aubrey's hips lifted off the bed, trying to get closer to Stacie's tongue. Stacie moved her tongue lazily, trying to pinpoint every single place that affected Aubrey. Making a mental map and categorizing them, alternating speed and pressure without a predictable pattern.

Aubrey bunched the sheets in her hands, biting down hard on her lower lip to stay quiet. One of Stacie's hands traveled up Aubrey's stomach slowly until it reached one of Aubrey's breasts, squeezing her nipple while her other hand reached in between her legs, entering her with two fingers while her tongue continued her slow exploration.

Aubrey squirmed under Stacie, one of her legs moved over her shoulder with her feet dragging down her back. She lifted her hips, the combination of Stacie's fingers and tongue making wave after wave of pleasure go through her. She grabbed the pillow under her head and pressed it against her mouth to muffle her cries.

Stacie kept moving her tongue and fingers until Aubrey dropped the pillow and tugged lightly at her hair. She crawled back up Aubrey's body, stopping to kiss her sweat slicked skin at irregular intervals until she reached her lips. She gave her one slow kiss and pulled back, resting her elbow on the bed and keeping her head raised.

Aubrey opened her eyes and blinked a couple of times before she turned to face Stacie with a smile. She wrapped her arm around her waist and pressed her body against the brunette's. Stacie kissed her fully, Aubrey's leg moving in between Stacie's and pressing up. Stacie gasped at the contact and Aubrey smirked. "My turn."

Stacie blinked her eyes open. She could hear someone stomping down the stairs. The faint smell of something cooking wafted into the room. She tightened her arm around Aubrey's waist and pressed her body closer. She felt Aubrey's hand moving over her forearm softly and she rubbed her nose on the blonde's shoulder. "Your housemates are being loud."

Aubrey could hear the pout on Stacie's voice and she chuckled, turning in her arms. "I'm sorry, baby."

Stacie smiled and bit her lip, kissing Aubrey briefly. "You called me baby."

"Did you- Was that wrong?"

Stacie shook her head and kissed her again. "I love it." She twisted her mouth in thought. "What should I call you? Pumpkin? Cupcake? Honey bear? Sweetie pie?"

Aubrey pursed her lips. "No food."

Stacie pushed her to her back, holding herself over her with her hands on either side of her head. "I know what I really want to call you." Aubrey arched an eyebrow and Stacie leaned down until her lips were next to her ear. "Girlfriend."

Stacie moved back up, looking at her nervously. Aubrey moved her hand to the back of her neck and smiled. She bit her lip and nodded, pulling Stacie down for a kiss.

They kissed for a while, not taking it further. Stacie moved back to lie next to Aubrey without breaking the kiss. Their tongues moving slowly against each other, their hands content with tracing patterns on each other's skin with no particular purpose.

They parted when they heard Fat Amy yell from downstairs that breakfast was ready. Aubrey lay her head on Stacie's shoulder, her index finger moving on her chest over her heart. "We take turns to make breakfast on the weekend. Do you wanna go?"

"Do we have to get dressed?"

Aubrey chuckled. "It would be advisable, yes. I don't want Cynthia Rose to die, she's one of our best singers."

Stacie sighed dramatically. "Fine, I'll get dressed." She kissed Aubrey's temple and nudged her off her shoulder. "Come on, girlfriend, I'm hungry."

A/N: I hope you liked this! And to answer the question I got, my favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla.
