Piper had promised her best friend Polly to go out with her to see what the new bar that had just opened was like. They used to go out quite a lot together but during the past half a year Piper had lost her interest in spending her weekends hanging out and getting drunk with Polly and then regretting every life decision of hers the following morning. It just wasn't something she wanted to do every weekend. Piper had expressed her lack of interest toward Polly's proposition this time around as well but everyone who knew Polly knew that she wouldn't let Piper stay home. Instead of giving up Polly had even more determination to help Piper to find a perfect outfit for the evening after succeeding in trying to persuade Piper to go with her. Piper found a burgundy red dress that hugged her body just perfectly - her toned arms were completely bare and the dress had an open back which really made all the attention focus on her ass. She loved the dress and she knew she looked good in it. Her blonde hair was beautifully curled and it was sitting on her shoulders. She matched black high stiletto heels with the dress and her makeup really brought up the colour of her eyes. The whole look made her feel super confident and good about herself. Polly couldn't stop telling Piper how good she looked and how she was going to get lucky tonight.
"Shush it, I'm not looking for anything", Piper said purposefully. Polly knew that's what Piper liked to say, in fact she had been saying the same thing ever since she broke up with Larry about a year ago. "I'm just being a good friend because I'm going with you", Piper continued to explain the whole situation to Polly who simply couldn't stand it anymore. She rolled her eyes when she heard Piper's words. She knew Piper would steal everyone's attention tonight looking like that but she wasn't mad - she was glad she had a friend like Piper and she knew they'd have the best evening ever even though Piper wasn't too excited to go. Yet.
Once they arrived to the bar Polly disappeared with some random guy who she had just met 5 minutes earlier. Piper knew that would happen because it always did but on the other hand she was surprised it happened that quickly this time. She wanted to spend some girl time with Polly but she found herself left alone with her drink while Polly and the man were dancing far away from her. She felt bummed. She could feel how slowly time was passing when she was just staring at the barista in front of her and watching people making new friends and dating each other. She felt alone even though she wasn't expecting much from tonight. She wanted to go home already but she also wanted to be a good friend to Polly and wait for her to be sure that she gets home safe. While Piper was slowly drowning in her thoughts someone sat down next to her and tried to catch her attention.
"Hi beautiful", she heard someone say and that woke her up from the thoughts running around in her head. She turned her gaze to the direction of the stranger next to her. She took a quick look and realised it was a guy who really pleased her eyes. He had piercing blue eyes, his hair was chocolate brown and his skin was a bit tan. Once he smiled Piper could see how white and handsome his smile was as well. Well, the whole man was handsome. Or at least that's what Piper thought before he opened his mouth properly and started to speak more. "What are you looking for?" Piper's little smile that had appeared on her face after seeing his looks faded as quickly as it has appeared. What kind of question was that? She felt awkward because she didn't know what to say. While Piper tried to think of how to answer she noticed how the man told the barista that he'd be paying for her drink. Great, just great, Piper thought to herself but not in a good way.
"Oh, well, nothing to be honest, I'm just here to kinda babysit my friend", Piper mumbled and rubbed the back of her neck anxiously. She wasn't feeling too comfortable talking to this guy.
"You're a good girl then… I see", the guy answered and Piper looked at him, now without a smile on her face. He winked his eye at her and moved closer, analyzing her in detail with his eyes. She could feel how the energy he radiated was just plain weird and the way he invaded her space felt incredibly rude to her. She started to feel uncomfortable really fast and just wanted to get away from the situation quickly.
"Excuse me", Piper said quickly and got up. She left her drink on the table but she couldn't care less about it, she just wanted to get away from that guy as quickly as possible because he was weird and reminded her so much of her ex, Larry. When Piper started to walk away she felt the guy grabbing her wrist and pulling it tightly. "Let me go!" she said with a stronger tone in her voice and wrenched her arm so that she got away from his reach. She walked straight to the toilets and took a deep breath when she got in there and knew he wouldn't follow her.
Piper got horrible flashbacks of the time she was with Larry and she was once again reminded of how much she really hated men at times. As she was trying to calm down she looked in the mirror and saw herself in a whole new different light compared to the confidence she felt inside of her before arriving to the bar. It had disappeared completely. That little conversation with a random dude made her feel so unworthy and shitty that she took her phone out of the little purse she had with her and started to write a text to Polly, saying that she was happy Polly found a date but she just wanted to go home so she had to leave. Right when she was about to send it she was interrupted. She didn't even realise someone had come out of one of the toilet cubes behind her and was in the room before she caught Piper's attention by softly tapping her shoulder. Piper lifted her eyes from the phone screen and her eyes met with a raven-haired beauty. When she saw her she forgot about the text message and pretty much everything else happening as well. She found herself putting her phone away and not being able to move her eyes away from the woman standing in front of her. Her hair was luscious and she looked unreal. She was wearing a white t-shirt with a v-cut neck and tight black jeans. She had a black leather jacket hanging on her arm and that's when Piper noticed the big rose tattoo on her shoulder. That made her even hotter and Piper wondered if she had more of those. Her body looked ridiculously hot and the way her boobs were squeezed to fit the tight shirt was stealing Piper's attention. She couldn't take her eyes away from her and though she should've felt even a bit bad about checking her out so visibly she couldn't help but stare. She was too hot.
"I guess this fell from your purse", the woman said and offered a red card to Piper. It took Piper a while to move her glued gaze away from the gorgeous creature in front of her but once she managed to do that and saw her holding her credit card she realised what had happened. She felt dumb and so impolite for staring at her for so long.
"Oh my god, I didn't even notice it fell!" Piper said and took the card. When she was grabbing it she felt how the other woman's hand softly touched hers and it was like there were actual electric shocks in the air. Piper started to stuff the card into her purse so that it wouldn't fall out again. Her hands were trembling noticeably and she could feel how nervous she was in the black-haired woman's presence. When she couldn't get the card to fit her purse right away she turned around to put her purse on the sink to help the process a bit. Little did she know the woman behind her was staring at her the whole time she was turned around and her eyes wandered from her head to her toes, admiring every single part of her body, but especially her ass. "Thank you so much for returning it", Piper said quietly and turned back to the woman's direction. She looked her in the eyes quickly and flashed a little shy smile to her.
"You're hot", the taller woman blurted out suddenly and Piper couldn't believe her ears. She smiled nervously and looked at the woman again with her eyes filled with pure confusion. She couldn't believe that just happened. Piper thought she was joking with her after seeing how she checked her out so visibly and to be honest she just wanted to disappear. She could feel the embarrassment showing as a light blush on her face.
"Wh… what? Who-", Piper tried to mumble out but before she could even finish her sentence the woman answered her question already.
"I'm Alex", the hot woman in front of her said with a huge smirk on her face, "let me buy you a drink."
But one drink was nearly not enough to get the awkwardness to leave Piper's body. Alex noticed that too. She was genuinely interested about who Piper was because from the first second she laid her eyes on her she knew she was something different. There was something in Piper that made Alex's curiosity wake up quicker than anything or anyone else in ages. Alex had offered Piper drinks and they had spent a couple of hours together in the bar learning things about each other before Piper was now finally, slowly but surely, becoming more like her actual self instead of the nervous wreck she had been all evening long. Of course the alcohol in her blood was helping her to be more social than usually but she was fully enjoying it and taking advantage of it. She was sure she wouldn't have had the same confidence to talk about different things and share so much information about herself with a complete stranger if she wasn't drunk. Surprisingly enough Alex didn't feel like a complete stranger to her anymore, though.
"I'm so glad you saved me from that creep earlier", Piper said while sipping her margarita. She looked at Alex who was laughing at her. She didn't know what Piper was talking about at all but it was kind of cute. Piper felt like a fresh breeze to her - something that she had been longing for. Alex put her hand on Piper's thigh and kept it there to see Piper's reaction. She didn't say anything, she just put her free hand on top of Alex's hand and smirked to her while grabbing it.
"I'm pretty sure you saved yourself there kid", Alex said, "but if you ever need someone else to save you again I'll be there, just let me know."
"He was so fucking gross, I can't believe men think that women belong to them after they've offered drinks to them, it's unbelievable!" Alex couldn't help but laugh again when she saw how serious Piper was about this and how she was so determinedly letting the whole bar know because she was talking so loudly and apparently it was impossible for her to control it. "Why am I such a creep magnet? I hate them."
"What can I say? Your magnetism seems to work since I'm the biggest creep of the night because I offered you more than just one drink", Alex said and took a sip from her drink, still keeping her left hand on Piper's bare thigh. She could tell how Piper was enjoying it.
"True… but you might be the only creep I don't hate", she answered. Alex raised her eyebrows a little. It was right at that moment when she could feel the tension grow significantly between her and Piper. She felt it the moment she met Piper but now it was clear to her that she didn't want to let Piper go after this. She found herself fantasizing about the blonde woman constantly, even when they were just talking. Even her speaking voice was so soft but at the same time so hot. She couldn't help but imagine what she would get Piper to sound like in the bedroom.
"Well that's a good start", Alex said back to Piper and drank the rest of her drink. Piper finished hers as well and then got a brilliant idea.
"Wanna dance with me?" Piper asked and stood up from the little couch they had both been sitting on. She could never imagine herself doing that so naturally if she was sober but she felt like she could do just about anything right at that moment. Without hesitating at all Alex took Piper's hand and guided her to the middle of the dance floor. She couldn't help but place her hands on Piper's back and pull her closer when she heard the music that was playing. It was hot and sultry, not helping the way Alex was feeling towards Piper already. Alex could hear how a light gasp escaped from between of Piper's lips when she placed her hand just above her butt. She definitely wanted Alex's hand there as well and wouldn't have minded if it slid even lower. Alex spun her but didn't allow her to go too far from her reach and each time she pulled Piper gently back to herself they got closer and closer. Piper felt how good Alex's skin felt against her own when Alex pulled her closer to her chest. Piper stared her into the eyes, feeling like she could never get enough of the mystic look in them. She didn't know how she ended up here but she was so glad it had happened. Suddenly Piper remembered the toilet incident a couple of hours ago and felt like she acted so dumb in there that she had to fix the whole thing. Even though she knew she wasn't the best with words she wanted to let Alex know that she was really attracted by her.
"You're hot as well, Alex."
Piper hadn't expected her evening to go like this at all. But she absolutely couldn't wait for more.
