A yellow cup full of mystery

Introductions

"What do you think?"

"Gorgeous, miss Natalie" Beca answered with a smirk.

Chloe was standing in front of her wearing a blue dress in a beautiful cut that embraced the redhead's curves to the waist and then it fell beautifully over her thighs to the knees. When Chloe turned around to show her the back of the dress, Beca whistled. The two thick blue straps became four thin straps covering the shoulder blades and crossed over one another making a beautiful figure on Chloe's back. Beca approached and gave her a sweet kiss on the bare shoulder. Chloe giggled to the touch.

"You can call me Nat" Chloe said with a wink that made both of them laugh lightly. Then she turned around and reached for the thin black jacket. "I'll wear this in case it gets cold there at some point... oh and in the papers it says I should take a big bag so I thought I would take this one" Chloe said walking to the other side of the room and grabbing a medium sized black bag she hung from her shoulder to show Beca the whole outfit.

"Great. Beautiful. And those new sandals look perfect on you" Beca said.

"Does it say in your character description you have to be extra sweet?" Chloe joked faking amazement. Both women laughed again.

Since then the yellow cup had become the lucky charm for Chloe. She tried taking it everywhere, and everywhere she'd go, good things would happen. Proof for that was the Activity fair in Barden. Her cup wasn't visible in the Bellas' stand.

"If people see a cup on the table, they will think we give free drinks. It's how people think here, Chloe. I don't want a bunch of thirsty stupid freshmen standing here preventing new Bellas to approach." Aubrey had said.

So Chloe kept her yellow cup under the table, near enough to make the lucky effect. And soon came the proof, when she saw the lonely girl walk towards them. Without losing time, Chloe made Aubrey notice this girl and the redhead did her best to sound sweet and friendly.

That was the first time she could talk to Beca and see her better. Frustration filled Chloe when the conversation didn't end well, but there was some hope inside her. Hope and... a certain feeling that told her this was only the beginning.

Soon after that fate showed her the way when Beca was singing in the shower. That was... wow. Chloe was acting all cool and casual but the truth was she never did that with anyone else before. Not with a stranger anyway... but then again, she didn't feel like Beca was a stranger. There was some kind of connection between them.

Chloe managed to convince Aubrey to let her have the yellow cup on the table for auditions. When Aubrey asked her why she simply said she needed to keep her pens together inside it... she would have to explain her best friend sooner or later, but she needed to find the right words, otherwise Aubrey would be too skeptical and make her feel bad about it...

The final proof of the magical effects contained in her yellow cup came right then at auditions, the moment when Beca grabbed the cup and played with it while singing. Chloe felt her heart swell and glow with happiness and with love.

Since that very day her yellow cup claimed its rightful place as her favorite object in the universe.

"Hey Becs, did you see my cup?" Chloe asked.

"Nope, it should be in the cupboard as usual... but are you seriously taking it?"
