- "Wait" - Piper said breaking the kiss

- "What happened?" - Alex looked at the girl worried.

Piper was conflicted between what she always gave as certain and what she was feeling. Before Alex, Piper was never confused about her own sexuality. But after that kiss, after what she felt. It wasn't love yet, but it was definitely something.

- "I-" - Piper tried to explain herself

Alex looked worried. She was regretting everything she did with the girl, the kiss, but after all, Piper kissed her back.

- "I..." - Piper continued - "You know, I've never been with a girl before"

Alex already knew that, she couldn't be sure of it, but her instincts told her that.

She was confused about what to do, when Piper look at her and smile. That smile, made her gain her confidence once again. That smile was Piper saying she didn't regret a thing, she enjoyed the time she spent with Alex.

- "I'm glad to be different" - Alex said with a smirk, reminding the words said by Piper minutes ago

Alex, gently, placed her hand in Piper's shoulders and said:

- "Let's go, there is a restaurant there, wanna eat something?"

- "I'm starving" - Piper said doing the cutest face Alex has ever seen

They made their way to the closest restaurant. It was a "beach theme" restaurant, with surfboard in the wood walls. They sat at a table, for two. There was a nice vibe inside, it was the perfect place to calm you down after a long day of work, Piper thought

The waiter come to take their request, fortunately for both he knew how to talk English. They both ordered pasta, after all, they were in Italy.

- "I'm going to call my best friend, Polly, wait a sec" - Piper said, than she made a phone gesture with her hand and placed her pinky finger near to her mouth and her thumb on her hear - "Ring, ring, ring" - she said looking at Alex

Alex was confused, looking with a "what the fuck are you doing" expression, in response Piper raised her eyebrows and open her eyes, like expecting something. Than Alex understood, she wanted her to answer the imaginary phone

- "Hello" - Alex said, doing the same gesture with her fingers that Piper was doing

- "Hi, Polly. Just called to say that I'm going to get a day after I planned to"

- "Why?" - Alex asked trying to imitate what she thought was Polly

- "I'm get out of the train with someone"

- "Are you out of your mind? What if he is a murderer?" - Alex was still doing her Polly horrible impersonation

- "He isn't, but she might be" - Piper was trying to imagine this conversation with the really Polly, she knew that would happen, she tells Polly everything, but was a mystery to Piper how her best friend would react

- "What the fuck are you thinking" - Alex almost screamed. Polly would react probably like that - "I know you since" - Alex continued - "since I remember" - Piper looked at her in agreeing, what Alex was saying was accurate - "you never liked girls, what is going on?"

- "She is hot" - Alex smirk raising her eyebrow at her - "I like hot boys and hot girls, I like hot people. What can I say? I'm shallow"

- "Are you sure of what you are doing?"

- "Yeah" - she smiled at the girl sitting in front of her, Alex smiled back - "I think she likes me, we kissed"

- "What?!" - Alex said in shock

- "She is a brilliant kisser" - Alex smirk at the girl with proud - "You know..." - she had a dreamy expression - "I like to feel her eyes on me when I look away"

They stayed in silence

- "I have to go" - Piper said - "Bye Polly, see at the wedding" - and she hung her fake phone

Her order arrived. It smelled great, both start to eat. Piper moaned, it was the best spaghetti she have ever had.

- "It's your time" - the blond said

- "My time of what?"

- "To call your friend" - Piper said

- "Oh" - Alex was thinking of someone. She place her fake phone in her face "Ah, ring ring ring"

- "Yo, Al what's up" - Piper was trying to look cool and swager

- "Since when do you call me Al?" - Alex laughed

- "I was just kidding with you, man. Chill" - Alex was still laughing, the way she was talking right now, was so different than the way Piper usually talks that made Alex laugh. - "Why did you call, bro?"

- "I met someone, 'bro'"

- "Is she hot?" - Piper wanted to know what Alex thought of her

- "The hottest" - Alex bit her lip - "You know what's weird" - Alex said in a more serious note - "She is different"

- "Everyone is different" - Piper was trying to understand what Alex meant

- "Yeah, I know. But you know me, I usually hit on girls, fuck'em and leave them"

- "Best life ever" - Piper joked

- "C'mon Nicky, I'm trying to be serious" - she really was trying. Was the first time Piper had a conversation with her and she wasn't trying to make a joke or being sarcastic - "I am with her for..." - she looked at the watch - "a couple of hours, now. And not even once, I tried to fuck her. We even kissed"

- "How was it?"

- "Pretty good. It was the first time she kissed a girl, but it was wonderful" - Alex wanted to say what she really felt, but was afraid of Piper reaction.

When Alex felt Piper's lip against her own, it felt right. In that moment, she could feel time, she could feel the girl, kissing her. Alex always tried to look confident, she used her outside has a shell for her inside. To Alex, most of the days, just passed through, like a movie, it was like she was sitting on the couch imagining her whole life, until that moment. When she kissed Piper, she knew, she was alive and it was the first time she ever felt that. It was like her heart, that Alex work so much to freeze, had melt in a second. Years of coldness were ruined by a kiss.

- "Argh, straight girls" - Piper spoke, bringing Alex back to reality

- "I know, right. I'm going" - Alex didn't like to talk about herself, she felt weak when others knew how she felt. She took her hands of her face and kept on eating. - "By the way" - she stop eating again - "Nicky, calls me Vause"

Vause. That was as hot as the girl who own in

- "It fits you" - said Piper

- "Hey" - Alex called her attention and grabbed the wine glass - "To this amazing day" - Piper did the same gesture.

By the end of the conversation they had already finish their meal

- "I need to go to the bathroom and then you can go" - Piper got up

- "Sure, I also need to call my mom"

Piper left the room, with Alex' eyes always on her. Alex was questioning reality, was that really happening? she thought. For the first time, this wasn't about sex, was something even greater than that, Alex couldn't really figure it out what. The conversations they both have, felt special to Alex, she felt understood, like never before.

In the bathroom Piper was questioning the same thing, how could this be happening. She had dated some guys, but neither of them made her feel in on year what Alex made her feel in that day. With the other guys, there were always a lot of pressure, Piper wasn't real with them, she felt like she was always playing a character. Playing this perfect blond lady, everyone wanted her to be, but not with Alex, with Alex she wasn't even trying to be perfect, she felt free.
