Beca was on top of the world. Yes, the brunette had been caught off guard for Chloe’s glittery little pendant and had fallen under hypnosis. Yes, she had been put through her paces as a hypnotized plaything for her girlfriend. Yes, she had some fun in return - turnabout is fair play, after all. She had even foreseen Chloe’s next move and programmed her lover, knowing sooner or later the redhead would try to retaliate.

Beca had foreseen every move that could’ve been planned against her. She had won. She had the upper hand, and she knew it.

Of course, Beca was the furthest thing from vengeful. She knew that deep down, her subconscious would’ve protected her if there was any doubt that Chloe couldn’t be trusted as a hypnotist. While falling for that damned pendant took Beca down a peg, it was all water under the bridge.

Beca sneaked a peek into her bedroom to check on her partner. The blue-eyed beauty was taking a catnap, her flawless skin and fiery hair aglow in the afternoon sun as her body was curled up in the fetal position.

She was such an angel.

Beca’s heart melted at such a beautiful sight. She decided on a whim to surprise her lover with a treat.

After having decided on a form-fitting sweater and a cute skirt to make herself look presentable, she reached for her purse and sunglasses before heading for the door.

Beca donned her sunglasses as she began to reach for the doorknob, only to be momentarily stunned as her sunglasses began to display a captivating pair of spirals in front of her eyes.

She was taken aback at the sudden sight before her as she hallucinated a familiar voice in her mind:

”It’s ok, babe. You’re not dreaming. Your arms are just feeling heavy as lead as you stare at the spirals.”

Somehow, Beca knew Chloe’s voice was telling the truth and didn’t bother to try to lift her arms.

”That’s right, drifting deeper for me as the spirals pull you down, down, down… You know, you should really stop underestimating me. You’ve got spunk, I’ll give you that. You forget, though: my hypnotism classes had me surrounded by other hypnotists, many of whom are more talented than either of us.

”I showed them your picture, and it was decided that your proper place was under my spell…”

The brunette stood there, frozen in place, helpless to absorb the instructions Chloe had previously programmed in…

”Now, I know you’re not a monster. Neither am I. But it would be such a waste to simply ignore you as you are right now, wouldn’t it?

”When you wake up, you will feel a strong compulsion to buy me ice cream. The more flavours, the better. We can snuggle up on the couch and gorge ourselves silly while I whisper hypnotic nothings into your ear. Oh, and you’ll consciously forget all of this little mini-sesh when you come to. Wake up, sweetie”

snap

Beca’s body jolted a bit as she snapped out of trance, looking down at the floor where her purse had landed.

How did that get there…?

She picked it up and headed out the door. She wanted to spoil her girlfriend for being such a good sport about being hypnotized. Suddenly, she was in the mood for ice cream…
