Piper was nursing a glass of wine listening to her colleague Michael drone on about some case he was on some years ago. She was sick of morons trying to impress her with some exploits that literally happened in another lifetime. Who the hell cared. She smiled and nodded, glancing ever so often at her phone. Alex Vause still hadn't called or texted. The brunette had texted her saying "This is Alex" and then nothing after. She was getting a little nervous, wondering if she hadn't actually hooked Alex as she was so confident she had. She had been careful to give her just a taste, and she thought the freakout where she let Alex feel like she was in control was quite inspired. She wondered if she should text her. She had been profiling Alex for the last three weeks, learning everything she possibly could. It wasn't much though. She knew nothing about Alex's background or her childhood. She only knew what Alex was up to after she got into the drug business.
"Piper? Are you listening?" Michael asked her suddenly realising that the blonde was someplace far away. "Oh I'm so sorry Michael. I was thinking of a case that I'm on." She said, taking a sip of her wine. "Oh yes. The European cartel right? Is this your first undercover?" He asked. "Yes it is. I am so excited about it." Piper said with enthusiasm.
"I remember my first case. I cracked it singlehandedly in 2 weeks! It's how I was made a senior case agent." Michael said. "You can come to me for advice. I'd be happy to help you." He said, stroking her arm. Piper moved away, not being subtle about her disinterest. Her colleague Bennet walked up to them at that time. "A senior case agent Logan? Last time I checked, you were still a junior agent! Yes Chapman, take his advice. Use him as an example of what not to do! He's called Bozo the Bear didn't you know?" He said laughing. Piper burst into laughter as Michael scowled at the pair and walked off.
"What rot! We don't even know who the senior case agents are! There's quite a few rungs to be climbed before we're allowed that kind of clearance!" Bennet said, laughing. "So have you heard anything from the oh-so-sexy Alex Vause?" He asked, waggling his eyebrows at her. "Um, I hate to disappoint you, but I'm pretty sure you're not her type." Piper said, laughing. "What do you mean? She wouldn't be into all of this?" Bennet asked, gesturing to his whole body. "Nope. She prefers them softer, with boobs and a vagina." She replied, smirking.
"What? She's gay? Aw man!" Bennet replied, hitting the table in frustration. "She's a drug dealer you twit!" Piper exclaimed, shocked that her colleague was drooling over Alex. And as much as she wanted to deny it, she was also a little jealous.
"So what? Have you seen her? She's amazing!" Bennet said, now looking mildly depressed. "You're drunk. And insane." Piper said. They finished their drinks and then Piper decided to head home. It had been 3 days since she met Alex, but she hadn't heard back. She took a shower and then sat on her bed, staring at her phone. She quickly typed out a message and sent it, not waiting for her to second guess herself.
Alex was watching That 70s Show on Netflix, laughing at their antics. It was her go-to stress buster, laughing out loud as Red called Eric a dumbass. Her phone buzzed and she absently put in her unlock code and sat up interested. It was a text from Piper. She was waiting for the fly to come to the spider. They usually texted or called her within a day or two, but Piper took three days. This girl was going to be a challenge, she thought. She looked at the text and grinned.
I'm on my bed, in a robe, fresh after a shower and wondering why I haven't heard from you.
Alex wondered what to type. She liked the honesty in the text, there were no hidden questions or intentions. She thought about it for a while, decided to be honest as well and replied.
I was waiting for you. I'm glad you texted.
Alex continued to watch the show, but she wasn't paying too much attention. Her attention was on the phone. She wondered what Piper would say. Her phone buzzed.
Come over.
Whaaaa? Oh my God that girl was direct. She looked at her surroundings, her couch, her throw, her sweats and her beer. Would she rather continue to sit alone or have sex with Piper? Who was sitting on her bed. Naked. Having just showered. Who was she kidding. She threw off the blanket, switched the TV off and went to her room to change. She decided to take a quick shower and then texted Piper.
On my way.
Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck! Piper was not expecting that! She thought Alex would call her bluff and then they would have some fun banter and she would work the meeting for the drug ring into the conversation. What would she do now Piper wondered. She definitely wasn't going to sleep with Alex, one, she was a drug dealer, two, Piper had never slept with a girl before and three, she barely knew the girl!
Piper waited for Alex to arrive, quickly formulating a plan. She dug out some DVDs of some cheesy movies, threw on her flannel pyjamas and set out to make some popcorn and put two beers in the freezer to chill. Alex arrived 20 minutes layer and Piper buzzed her in. She told herself to calm down and opened the door at the knock.
"Hey!" She breathed out, stepping aside to let the brunette in. She hid a smile when she saw what Alex was wearing. Alex was wearing jeans and a low sweater, forgoing a bra. Piper shut the door and invited Alex to the living room, biting her cheek to not laugh. This was going to be a very disappointing night for Alex, but a very entertaining one for her. It reminded her of the cheesy flick she had discarded earlier – How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Well, she hoped a few make out sessions would keep Alex on the hook.
"Um, so I thought we could maybe watch a couple of movies? I just made some popcorn and there's beer." Piper said, trying desperately not to laugh at Alex's very confused expression.
"Uh. Sure. Yeah." Alex said, making her way over to the sofa. What the fuck was going on? Man, if she didn't need the mules, she could have sent this one packing. Wasn't come over a clear sign that she wanted to fuck? What game was this girl playing? Alex decided she didn't was going to switch it up. She stood up and walked over to the kitchen where Piper was emptying the popcorn into a bowl. She wrapped her hands around Piper's waist from behind and slowly kissed her neck, sucking on the skin while also biting and nibbling. She pulled Piper back into her, savouring how the blonde felt against her. She hid her smile as Piper moaned when she brought her hands up her sides, fingers splayed, grazing the sides of her breasts. Alex really knew her way around a woman's body.
Piper gathered her senses and moved off Alex with a jolt. She could not afford to mess this up. Clearly, she had profiled Alex wrongly, since none of her tricks were working. Alex on the other hand, had Piper eating out of her hand like a puppy! She needed to snap out of it. She turned to face Alex, only to be swept into a powerhouse kiss. She moaned, not understanding how a drug dealer could incite all these feelings in her! She pushed Alex back. "Movie." She croaked, picking up the bowl and holding it protectively in front of her.
Alex bit back a smile, watching the blonde walk to the sofa, clearly shaken. Alex followed and sat close to the blonde, putting her arm around the back. If the blonde wanted to watch movies, Alex would show her how to watch them. She groaned as the title of the movie came on "Bride Wars". "Wow, so a chick flick?" Alex asked. "Yeah. I just love them. They always have happy endings you know?" Piper said, her voice thankfully back to normal. "Yeah. I know other things that have happy endings too." Alex said, with a glint in her eye. "Uh huh." Piper said, now focussing on the movie. She was so grateful that Polly had left this stuff behind in her house.
They watched te movie, while Alex stroked her neck with her fingers sending goosebumps down her body, kissed her cheek whenever Piper laughed at the movie and slowly, but surely, by the end of the movie, Alex had snuggled up next to Piper. When Piper realised this, she didn't want to move, but knew she had to. "Drug dealer! Drug dealer! Drug dealer!" She chanted to herself. She got off, claiming to want to visit the loo and then walked into her bedroom where the loo was. She pulled out her phone and texted Bennet.
Ok. So Alex Vause is in my house, I think she wants to have sex. I don't know what to do!
She waited impatiently for a reply, tapping her foot and scrambling to open the text when the reply came.
So have sex! Wait, why does she want to sleep with you? You're straight!
We may have kissed a few times… And that is not the point you idiot. I don't want to sleep with her, she is a drug dealer!
Man your moral compass is on a high scale. Tell her you have your period or something.
Oh my God! That is brilliant! Thank you
Piper walked out, where Alex was waiting, looking very inviting on the sofa. "I'm sorry I took so long. I got my period and I was hunting for a tampon." Piper said, making her face look like she was disappointed with the turn of events.
Alex could see through the lie, but chose to keep quiet. She was now curious about this girl who seemed to have a split personality disorder! She stood up, said she was sorry. "Well I better go home then." Alex said, making her way to the door. "Yeah. I'm so sorry about this." Piper said, and Alex couldn't help but notice that the blonde didn't look sorry at all, but she looked relieved. Alex gave her a hug and before she left "I was going to tell you tomorrow morning, but the training is at 4pm. My place. I'll text you the address, don't be late."
"Yeah. I won't. Thanks Alex, for being so understanding." Piper said, rubbing her arm. She leaned up and gave Alex a quick kiss before closing the door.
Maybe Piper is not ready, Alex thought. Maybe she was bluffing when she sent the text message. Alex smacked herself on the forehead. You dumbass, of course she was bluffing and instead of calling her on her bluff, you showed up. No wonder she was panicking and acting all strange. Alex decided to give the girl some space and go back to being the spider. She would let the fly come to her. She called Nicky to let her know what time tomorrow when she could bring Megan in for her training as well.
Piper shut the door and leaned back. That was a close call. She touched her lips, justifying to herself that se had to kiss Alex, she had to keep Alex interested after acting like a total loon all night. She sighed and called Bennet to thank him. Once that was done, she called her boss.
"Agent Sorkin, it's Chapman…. Yes Sir…. It's done, I go for training tomorrow at four…. It's at Vause's house Sir…. No Sir, I won't need back up… Yes Sir, I'll get briefed by a senior agent tomorrow… Yes Sir, I will find Agent Diaz… Thank you Sir." She hung up and sighed. Tomorrow was a big day. She was finally getting inducted into the ring. She just hoped she didn't blow her cover and that this would be a big win for her. She needed to close a high profile case before being eligible for a promotion.
