Hey guys, I'm not very experienced with this whole writing deal so reviews and advice are appreciated. Only a short chapter to begin with, hope you enjoy!
It had been a long day for Alex. Between dealing with an endless stream of emails and phonecalls as well as back to back meeting with clients whom she had very little interest in, she was well and truly ready to call it a day. She was a few blocks away from her apartment, her high heels rubbing at her feet and her briefcase weighing her down, she hailed a cab, gave the address and for the first time in hours she breathed. She relaxed.
Less than five minutes later and she was opening the door to her apartment, greeted by the smell of something delicious cooking - she was so lucky. She kicked off her heels, dropped her briefcase and hung her coat on the rack. Within seconds she was knocked off her feet by her giant german shepherd, Lambert. It was the same routine everyday and she wouldn't change it for the world, she loved this dog.
She walked down the hall into the open plan living room and was greeted by her favourite site. There she was, her beautiful wife of five years. Piper Vause, watching the TV with her feet up. She was five months pregnant and her bump was growing so quickly. She still couldn't believe they were about to start a family and every time she thought about it a huge grin broke out across her face. Piper looked up at her and smiled, her eyes shining with happiness.
"Something smells delicious." Alex said as she walked over and placed a kiss on the top of Piper's head.
"It's your favourite meal, Al."
"Spaghetti bolognese?!" Alex said with the excitement of a child at christmas.
"Spaghetti bolognese. Happy anniversary baby!" Piper said, standing up to embrace her wife in as big a hug she could manage given her growing bump.
Alex melted into Piper's arms when she suddenly felt a shove, their little girl sure was a feisty one kicking out at her mum like that. They both laughed at the sudden kick and with a quick kiss pulled apart.
"I'll finish up dinner, you get changed and find us a movie to watch." Piper said walking towards the kitchen.
Alex walked back down the hall and turned off into their bedroom. She looked around at all the pictures that adorned the wall, all the memories her and Piper had shared from before and after prison. She was so thankful that she found Piper again, even if it was in such unfortunate circumstances.
She walked to the chest of draws, grabbed some slacks and an old band t-shirt, stripped of her suit and quickly replaced it before heading back to the living room and browsed their extensive movie collection before resting on a classic. 'The Breakfast Club'. This had been one of the first films her and Piper watched together and just based on that it was one of their favourites. She popped it into the DVD player, grabbed the remote and made herself comfy on the sofa.
A short while later Piper walked in with two trays of dinner and sat down next to her wife.
"So how was your day Al?" Piper asked, in a genuine way.
"Exhausting. I hate miserable people." Alex said with an undertone of anger.
Piper leaned over and ran a hand along Alex's arm, they looked at eachother and Piper watched as the built up anger in Alex's face melted away at her touch. She was in love with this woman and had never been as happy in her entire life.
They both tucked into their meal and Alex pressed play. As the opening credits were rolling both women thought about their past and how it had bought them to where they were right now. They were both so content with their lives.
Once again, reviews and advice are extremely appreciated.
