Chapter two.
After hours of seeing doctors and nurses I was cleared for release. I didn't suffer any major injuries just some smoke inhalation. I was told to follow up worth my regular doctor and take it easy for a few days.
I learned that Larry was severely burned in the fire but due to my statement saying he started the fire he was not allowed visitors and had law enforcement guarding his room. I felt bad that he got hurt but at the same time he did this to himself and he tried to hurt me.
I walked towards the exit and once I got outside I stood in the sunshine and thought how great it felt to be alive.
"Well look who it is, they let you out of here."
There it was again that sexy voice. I looked up to see the fire fighter sitting on a bench outside the hospital. She looked different without her gear on. She wore black skinny jeans and a red and black checkered flannel. Her hair was down and straight, thick black rimmed glasses on with winged eyeliner to make her eyes pop. My god this woman was mesmerizing. I have always found woman attractive, even had a few encounters with women but none of them ever seemed to work. I felt my knees go weak just looking at this woman and I knew I was going to be in trouble.
"Hey it's the hot fire fighter who saved my life! Were you out here waiting for me?"
"Yeah after the fire I got cleaned up and I know a nurse in ER who gave me a heads up you would be released. I came to see how you are and to ask you some questions about the fire."
"How sweet of you, thank you so much for saving me, I don't know what would have happened if you guys didn't get there when you did."
"I live for this job babe, saving lives is what I do, I must say though when I save a woman as gorgeous as you it's definitely much more rewarding." I smirked to myself, this Piper girl was beautiful. Long blonde hair and big blue eyes. She had the perfect body. Tall and lean, a nice ass and perfect tits. I wanted to get to know this girl for sure.
Oh my god did she just call me babe? Calm down Piper don't get ahead of yourself yet she probably calls everyone babe. I stared back at this Raven beauty and felt heat rise in my core. Just looking at her was getting me so hot.
"Let's get a coffee and we can talk" she snapped me out of my thoughts.
We walked a few blocks to the local coffee shop and got a table. I learned this woman's name was Alex Vause. She was a lieutenant with the FDNY and extremely good at her job. She asked me questions about the fire and I told her everything. I don't know why but it felt so easy to talk to her and let everything flow out. I told her how I settled and dated Larry because my best friend set us up and swore he was the best for me. I told her how I put up with his shit for two years and finally dumped him and how he started the fire to try and hurt me.
I watched Alex's eyes go wide when I told her Larry intentionally started the fire to hurt me. She looked sad and disgusted that someone would do such a thing. All of a sudden she reaches across the table and took my hand in hers.
"Pipes, you don't deserve that. What an asshole he is. When I found you and saw him on top of you I thought he was being a man trying to protect you but now you're telling me he held you down to harm you. I should have left him lying there to burn!"
"Alex look its okay you saved me and I'm so grateful." Pipes she just used a nickname for me already. Why was this woman making me feel so giddy and excited?
Alex stood up and walked around the table she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight. She whispered in my ear that I was beautiful and deserved so much better. I took a chance on my next move and I whispered back to her that maybe she could show me something better. Alex pulled away from the hug and stared into my eyes. I thought for a second that I crossed a line but then within seconds Alex grabbed my face and crashed our lips together. She kissed me so hard and so good I swore I saw stars. I felt her tongue drag across my bottom lip asking for entry. I opened and felt her envelope our tongues together. It felt so good to be kissed by this woman. The way she made my body ignite, she sent chills down my spine and waves of pleasure through my body.
She pulled away gasping for air and stared back at me. "I hope that was okay Pipes, I couldn't help myself ever since I saw you I thought you were beautiful and I just..." I cut her off, I grabbed her face and kissed her again.
"Alex I don't know what this is, I don't know if it's because you saved me or because God has a plan for us to find each other but I have to know more about you. I feel like I found what I've been looking for."
"I feel the same way, your gorgeous and totally my type, I'm not going to lie I'm a wild girl but with you I feel different I want to get to know you Piper. Let me take you out tonight, anywhere you want to go."
I thought to myself how lucky can I get. This woman saved my life, she was so hot, and she wanted to take me out. I hit the jackpot for sure and I couldn't wait to see what was in store for me.
"I need to get cleaned up, I obviously can't go back to my apartment and get anything because of the fire. Any chance I could shower at your place?"
"Yeah how about we stop and buy you some clothes and then I'll take you home to freshen up?"
"Thanks so much Alex."
I grabbed pipers hand and we began walking towards my car. I made sure to open her door for her and let her get situated.
"Wow a hot girl with a hot car I said with a huge grin on my face." Alex laughed and drove to the strip so I could do some shopping. We strolled around for about an hour grabbing clothes, shoes, make up, and some stuff for my hair before we decided to head to Alex's apartment. I was impressed when we pulled up. I didn't know FDNY lieutenants lived so lavishly.
Her apartment was at the top of the building and I learned she had the whole floor to herself. The living room was beautiful. It had a black leather wrap around couch facing a giant flat screen. There were book shelves lining the walls and amazing art pieces scattered throughout the room.
"I know it's a lot to take in, this apartment is amazing I inherited a ton of money when my grandma passed away. I don't need to work but I truly love my job so I work hard and play even harder," she winked at me.
"Well Alex this place is gorgeous! I would love to look around more but I feel gross is it okay if I take a shower and get ready?"
Alex smiled and nodded. She took my hand and walked me down the hallway to a bedroom with a bathroom ensuite. She gave me towels and toiletries and left me to it. I smiled and thanked Alex for all she was doing.
Once Alex left the room I stripped down and jumped in the shower. It felt so good to get clean. The entire time my thoughts were filled with Alex. She saved me, and now here I was in her apartment naked while she was a few rooms down. I know its fast but I feel a connection with this woman already.
Meanwhile Alex was getting ready when her phone rang.
"Hello"
" Hey Vause it's Nichols, the crew is going to go out tonight for drinks and to pick up some chicks are you in I know you're on vacation all week."
"Actually Nichols I can't I have a date."
"Vause, stop playing around you never date, you always love them and leave them."
"Not this one, you remember the blonde we pulled from the Crown fire? Well I went to the hospital to check on her. We got coffee and talked and honestly I felt a spark between us so I asked her out. She's in my apartment showering right now because she couldn't go back to her place."
"Holy shit Vause, you fucked her already? She's already showering so you must have rolled around with her." Nicky laughed.
"No you idiot she had to clean up from the fire, anyways this one's different I don't want to just fuck her and leave. I kissed her and felt something I want to get to know this one."
"Vause you're going soft? Good luck let me know how this works out for you! If it fails you can always sleep with the Aussie Doyle again. She keeps asking if you're coming out tonight."
"God Nicky she's hot but she's a coworker and she's clingy so I for sure won't be fucking her again. I got to go Nichols talk soon!"
I hear footsteps coming from down the hall way. I looked up and saw Piper. She was clean. She did her hair in soft curls and wore a black dress that cut off before the knee. Her heels made her legs look longer and all I could do was stare. I imagined those long legs wrapped around me later and that dress on the floor. This girl was hot and she was going out with me!
I took Piper to a fancy restaurant on a roof top. We enjoyed several glasses of wine and some delicious food. The whole night was going great we got to know each other a little bit more. Shared some sweet kisses and danced under the stars. Everything was easy with this girl. I didn't have to try, I could be myself and she enjoyed that.
"So I think we should continue this night back at my place we can have some more drinks maybe watch a movie?"
"That would be great, maybe I can crash there tonight until I figure out where I can stay tomorrow."
"Hey pipes I know we just met but I feel a connection with you, you can stay at my place as long as you need to. I'm on vacation for a week but after that I work 24 hours on and then 24 off and my schedules rotates like that. I wouldn't mind"
"Thanks Al! Know it's fast but I like you, you intrigue me."
