The third installment in what I am calling my "Bet" series. This time the bet involves Aubrey. Aubrey's endgame undetermined at this time. Let's see what BeChloe has in store for their unsuspecting friend. The story picks up a year after Chloe and Beca's wedding. Enjoy!


Chloe and Beca were running around cleaning their house from top to bottom. Or rather Chloe was cleaning, Beca was just sort of moving around like she was doing something. Chloe was excited that her best friend, Aubrey, was coming to LA and would be staying with them for a while. Beca wasn't as excited about the idea as Chloe was.

"Why does she have to stay with us?," Beca whined.

"Because she's my best friend," Chloe says. "She's going through a hard time after the divorce and she needed a change of scenery. It's not like we don't have the room."

"Why did we have to buy such a big house?," Beca groaned.

"Because we want to have kids and needed the space," Chloe says.

"I kind of hate you right now," Beca said.

"No you don't," Chloe says reaching for Beca.

"You're right, I don't," Beca says giving her wife of one year a kiss.

Beca tries to deepen the kiss and pulls Chloe closer. Chloe gives in briefly and they have a hot make-out session. Chloe finally pulls away when Beca's hands move under her shirt.

"Babe, we need to stop. Come on, help me finish setting up the guest room," Chloe says pulling away. "We have to leave soon to pick Brey up from the airport."

Beca groans again but does as her wife asks. Thirty minutes later they are in the car headed for LAX.

"I really do feel bad for Aubrey," Beca said. "Mark turned out to be a real dick. Everyone thought he was such a nice guy but he's just another dirty scum-sucking cheater. And I cant' believe he had the nerve to ask for alimony from Aubrey."

"I know," Chloe said. "I guess he found out the hard way that you don't mess with a Posen, especially Aubrey Posen."

Beca laughed. "Yeah," she said. "He not only didn't get alimony, he had to pay for Aubrey's lawyer, all the court costs, lost the house, and all the money in their joint account. Remind me to never divorce you. I wouldn't want you turn Aubrey loose on me.""

"As if you would ever do anything to lose all this," Chloe said waving her hand up and down her body.

"Definitely not," said Beca give her wife a quick once over and kissed the back of Chloe's hand.

"Good to know I have some leverage if you mess up," Chloe said with a laugh.

"Did Aubrey hear back from any of those applications she sent out," Beca asked.

"She did," Chloe said. "I think she has a couple of interviews set up while she's here."

"That's good," Beca said. "If none of those work out for her maybe I can talk to our Legal Department to see if there is something she could do there."

"Oh my gosh, Beca," Chloe said excitedly. "That's a great idea. Why didn't you mention it before?"

"I was too busy trying to find someplace else for her to stay?," Beca says with a sheepish grin.

Chloe slaps her on the arm. "Aubrey is great with contracts and such," she said. "Why don't you check with your legal team anyway? It couldn't hurt to let her know we are on her side and looking out for her."

"I guess it's not that bad an idea," Beca said. "I'll check with them on Monday."

"You're the best," Chloe said.

Beca parked the car and the couple went into the terminal to find Aubrey. The search took longer than usual because Beca was recognized and stopped to sign autographs and take pictures with her fans. Chloe loved that about Beca. She always made time for her fans. She was still getting used to Beca's celebrity status but for the most part the fans were pretty considerate.

They finally make it to baggage claim and find Aubrey. Chloe grabs her in a big bear hug.

"I'm so glad you're here," Chloe said.

"Me too," Aubrey said. "It's time to start a new chapter in my life. And what better place to do it in than close to my best friend?"

Chloe pulls back from the hug and smiles at Aubrey.

"Posen," Beca says.

"Mitchell," Aubrey says back.

They stare each other down and then Aubrey grabs Beca in a hug. Beca actually hugs her back.

"We got you, Brey," she tells her. "I know you took care of kicking his ass legally, but if you want me to kick his ass literally, just say the word."

Aubrey pulled back from the hug and laughed. "I'll let you know," she said with a wink.

Beca helped Aubrey with her bags and then headed back to the car. Chloe took Aubrey by the arm and said, "If Beca is recognized, just keep moving. She'll catch up to us."

They made it to the car and had to wait for Beca to make it through the fans and the paparazzi. Beca makes it and loads the luggage into the trunk. She hops in the driver's seat.

"Sorry about that," Beca says to Aubrey. "I'll try and make sure that you aren't bothered as much with all this while you're here. Although, you will probably be photographed and written about, especially if you're with me. Chloe gets recognized sometimes as well, but they usually stay back and don't bother her too much."

"It's okay," Aubrey says. "One of the things I'll have to get used to being the best friend to the wife of a celebrity I suppose. It'll be fine."

Chloe turns to look at Aubrey and says, "We thought you might want to rest tonight so we were planning on taking you home and ordering in. Maybe Chinese. Is that okay?"

"That sounds perfect," Aubrey said. "Thank you."

They make it back to the house and Aubrey is shown to her room. She decides to unpack and freshen up. Beca places the order for Chinese delivery and sits down next to Chloe on the sofa.

"She seems to be holding up pretty well," Beca said.

"Maybe," Chloe said. "I've known her for almost 10 years and she's really good at hiding her pain. But I can tell she's hurting."

"What can we do to help her?," Beca asks. She really does like Aubrey despite all the stuff she says. It's just so much fun messing with her.

"I think we need to just give her some time," Chloe said. "They were only married a little over 2 years but she really loved the guy."

"I always thought he was a bit of a douche," Beca said.

"I know you did," Chloe said. "And thank you for putting up with him while they were together."

"I only did it for you," Beca said. "And maybe a little bit for Aubrey."

Chloe put her head on Beca's shoulder and sighed. "I think once she gets a job and can move out here permanently, things will be better for her. I can't believe how easy it was to talk her into leaving Chicago."

"I thought her dad would have guilted her into staying with his firm," Beca said.

"I think he knew Aubrey needed a change of scenery so he didn't fight her on it," Chloe said. "He wants her to be happy."

"I think you're right about that," Beca said. "I also think she needs to get laid."

"Beca!," Chloe said slapping on Beca on her arm.

"What?," Beca said. "Her husband cheated on her. I think she needs someone to help build up her self-esteem. Make her feel like she's wanted in a physical way."

"In a weird way that actually makes sense," Chloe said.

"I have the perfect person," they both say in unison.

Chloe laughs and says, "You are the worst when it comes to setting someone up."

"I am not," Beca says defensively. "I set up Mike and Janice."

"They never made it past the first date," Chloe said.

"I set up Joe and Keith," Beca said.

"You set up gay Joe with not gay Keith," Chloe reminded her.

"Well, Keith had a gay vibe so it was an honest mistake," Beca says. "What about you? You tried to set up Michelle with that guy who ended up stalking her. So, you're no better at setting people up than I am," Beca says with a smirk.

"I don't know," Chloe said. "Let's call Alex and Dani, or Tasha and Will, or maybe Carrie and Debbie, and see how they're all doing."

Beca couldn't say anything because Chloe was right. The three couples she mentioned are all still together and Alex and Dani actually got married a few months ago.

"See, I know how to bring two people together," Chloe said. "I've known Brey a lot longer than you have. I know what she likes in a date."

"I didn't say anything about dating. I was talking about getting her laid," Beca said. "I would be so much better at finding someone to get her laid than you would," Beca said.

"Wanna bet?," Chloe asks.
