I know I am making Piper sound a bit immature and a tad bit of a drama queen. But if she is a little dramatic in her 30's, just imagine how she was as a teen. I am trying to portray how they both would be as 17 year olds.
Please leave me reviews! I love hearing from you guys. This will probably get updated quicker than my other story right now. I have alot of ideas I want to write down as soon as possible.
Thanks for reading. Enjoy!
It was early Saturday morning as Piper woke up to the bright winter sun streaming into her room and into her eyes. She yawned and stretched. Rolling out of bed, she threw on a pair of loose-fitting jeans and a sweatshirt. She wasn't awake enough to try to coordinate an outfit. She wanted to get out of the house and quickly, if possible. Before her mother woke up and started annoying her.
She grabbed her laptop bag; swinging it over her shoulder as she quietly left her room and crept down the stairs. It sounded as though everyone was still asleep so she scribbled a quick note and left it on the kitchen table indicating she was going out for a while. Satisfied, she left the house and began to walk across town.
It was a short walk to the local coffee shop down the street. It was where Piper went when she wanted to write or read in peace. Not to mention, the coffee was delicious and the atmosphere very friendly. Ordering her usual latte, she sat down in a booth at the back of the cafe. It was an older building with pictures that various artists from around town did. One thing Piper loved of the place was how the art was all done by amateurs. Not a single pro. A good way for budding artists to get recognized.
She flipped open her laptop and surfed the web a bit before settling down to start writing a play write she was fooling around with. She hoped someday to really get into screenplay writing but for now she was just practicing with different ideas and characters and seeing where it took her.
She must have been writing for a good two hours. Her latte was long since gone and she was ready to get another one in a few minutes. Once she finished this scene.
She was completely engrossed in her work, she didn't notice that someone had suddenly walked up to the booth where she was sitting.
A deep, husky voice that sounded like the angels had created it spoke, and snapped Piper out of her trance.

"Mind if I sit down?" There, she said it. She had only been standing at the door of the cafe for the last half hour working up the courage to approach the blonde.
Bumping into her was completely by chance. She had never been to this particular cafe. It was a ways from where she lived but she had decided to go for a drive to clear her head. The girl who she was trying to forget she ended up running into. Not exactly the outcome she had expected, but she wasn't upset in the least.
Although her stomach was doing flip flops as the blonde looked up, slightly startled. "S...Sure." She gave a small smile. Alex thought she might throw up.
Come on Vause. Pull your self together.
Alex had never been enthralled with anyone before. Not like this. She sat down and nervously played with her glasses. She wasn't sure what to do next. She hadn't thought that far ahead.
Introduce herself. That's what she should do as she practically kicked herself in the foot to form some kind of sentence. "The name's Alex." She settled on with a smile.
The blonde smiled shyly. "Piper." She reached forward like she was about to extend her hand, then appeared to think better of it and put it back down on the table.
"I'm sorry If I am disturbing you..." Alex seriously thought she might be sick.
"No, no! You're not. Not at all. I was just writing. I don't mind distractions..." Piper was rambling. Alex found it incredibly cute.
"Oh yea? What are you writing?"
"I want to write screenplays some day. So for now I am just practicing and writing everything I can think of. Nothing of any structure yet. Just some thoughts and writing exercises."
"Sounds cool. Maybe I can read it sometime?..." Alex hesitated. What was she doing. She barely knew this girl and she was trying to imply that there would be a second meet up. She was getting way ahead of herself.
"Sure! I mean...that would be great. I'd love someone else's opinion." Piper was blushing. Alex was immensely amused. Maybe this wouldn't turn into a total disaster.
She couldn't take her eyes off the girl across the table. She wanted to get to know her so bad but for once in her life, she didn't want to rush something and fuck it up. Normally she didn't care. There were always more girls. But some reason this one was different. She couldn't figure out why though.
Take it slow and easy, she decided. Maybe they could be friends? See where that goes. Hell, Alex didn't even know if Piper was remotely interested in her.
Deep breath. "Would you like to hang out sometime?"
Piper's response was quick and eager. "I'd love to. I have theatre all week...How does next Friday sound?"
