They had known each other for about three months. Three months of constant texting, three months of dating, three months of pining from a very close distance. Neither had said the L word yet, the word with the capital L, but Piper was pretty sure that she was already ready to say it. It was weird as she wasn't one to just say it to anyone, especially not after such a short amount of time, but with Alex it just seemed natural. For some reason, though, she hadn't said anything, was honestly a bit afraid that the other woman would freak out if she did. She knew that that was her own reaction when people had confessed their love to her too soon. Larry had been way too early, like a premature ejaculation, and that's when Piper broke up with him, after having a whole day of frenetically ranting to Nicky about commitment. She hadn't been ready, is all.
But, with Alex, she was more than ready.
That didn't mean she wasn't nervous about telling her. Piper paced back and forth in her bedroom, deciding between the clothes tossed haphazardly on the bed. She had too many options and too little time. They were literally about to go to the grocery store and yet she had a hard time getting dressed. Maybe just a pair of jeans and a knitted sweater? She pinched the bridge of her nose with her thumb and index finger, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment. Why was it so hard to decide? She hadn't even picked underwear yet for Christ's sake! Was it to presumptuous to wear lingerie? With a sigh, she opened her eyes again, walking over to her dresser and opened the top drawer. Lace panties were comfortable and sexy, so two birds with one stone there, right? She picked up a pair of black ones, eyeing them before deeming them good enough and closed the drawer, deciding against a bra. Alex probably didn't even care about her clothes, but she wanted to look nice, not only for the other woman, but for herself as well. If she felt beautiful and sexy, she would radiate confidence and that was never a bad thing.
She decided to go with a pair of blue skinny jeans and a light gray, knitted sweater with a low cut back. It was very loose fitted and could easily cause an involuntary flashing if she wasn't careful. No jerky movements in other words. To top off her look, she put on a beige trench coat and a pair black boots with heals.
Piper locked the apartment after her, practically running down the stairs. They were supposed to meet at the grocery store a block from Alex's place and the blonde couldn't wait. She wanted to just teleport there, too eager to sit in a cab for 20 minutes. But her life was not a movie, she wasn't some X-man mutant so she had to travel through the city like regular people. Fortunately, though, the ride was short and soon enough, she spotted the raven haired beauty on the sidewalk. She'd never admit to anyone about the way she practically jumped out of the car at the sight of the other woman. Some, Nicky, would call her whipped for the way she acted around Alex, but honestly, it wasn't like it was untrue. She would never turn her down or deny her anything so being called whipped was something she'd come to accept and quite honestly take as a compliment. At the end of the day, she was the one to bed the other so she wasn't complaining.
The blonde payed the driver and got out of the car, mouth stretching out into a big smile as soon as her eyes met Alex's. She got a matching smile in turn and the two embraced each other, totally blocking the sidewalk for other pedestrians.
"I missed you," Piper confessed into the other's neck, pushing herself impossibly closer. The raven haired woman chuckled and squeezed the blonde's waist.
"We met two days ago," she said, as if that was a valid reason for Piper not to miss her.
"Two hours, two days, two weeks, I don't care. When we're apart, I miss you." Alex hummed as an answer, squeezing her tighter. If she'd been talking to any other person, she'd worry about how the words would be perceived, but she could always be honest with the raven haired woman. She felt safe and secure with her so it really wasn't a big deal. The L word, however, was a whole other story. It scared the shit out of her and it always had.
The two separated, switching to holding hands instead as they entered the store. Piper felt like she was ten again and proudly flaunted around the prettiest girl for everyone to see. She wanted to show everyone how lucky she was for having the most amazing girlfriend one could ask for. They had been an official couple for three weeks, but it truly felt like they had been together forever, like they were old souls who had just found each other again. It wasn't anything she would say it out loud, though, as their relationship was still so very fresh. She didn't want a premature ejaculation, so to speak.
The two walked around the store, goofing around and making lame, immature jokes about cucumbers, earning annoyed sighs from the people around them, something they just laughed off.
"Juicy ol' muffins," Alex said with a southern drawl and picked up a packet of said pastry. "They're finger lickin' good." She gripped the edge of her glasses and lowered them to the tip of her nose, looking over the rim while wiggling her eyebrows suggestively before putting them into place again. The blonde bit her bottom lip as she kept herself from laughing out loud. What made it worse was that it actually said juicy muffins on the package.
"Don't know about you, sweetheart, but I love me some muffins." The raven haired woman clutched her chest as if she was truly passionate about the sugary treat. Piper put a hand over her mouth as she began snorting a little too loudly.
"There's just something about the taste that really gets me goin'," the other continued, ending the sentence with an exaggerated "Mmm-m". The blonde was shaking. Like, really shaking. It was so hard not to just burst out laughing, but she didn't want to risk getting thrown out of the store.
"Imma go ahead an' buy this," the raven haired woman stage whispered as if buying muffins was something naughty, putting the package into the basket. "A juicy muffin can save a lonely night." She ended her southern monologue by giving her an exaggerated wink, open mouthed and all. The way she stroke the packet of muffins protectively was the last drop. She couldn't hold hold it in anymore. The blonde removed her hand from her mouth and placed it over her heart instead, guffawing loudly and not giving two shits if anyone got annoyed. Through tear filled eyes, she could see Alex's face light up with pride. The raven haired woman was clearly the funny one in their relationship and, by God, would Piper laugh all the time if it meant seeing the other's cute little smile.
"Oh my God, I love you," the blonde wheezed as she tried to catch her breath. She could see the other woman's expression change just slightly and at first, she had no idea why. It suddenly struck her what her choice of words had been... Fuck. Her laughter died down instantly and she looked around nervously, purposely avoiding intense green.
"Oh look, they have... olives. We should buy olives. Olives are good," she babbled, walking over to the shelf with olives from different brands. Well, that was awkward. Very smooth, Chapman. Very smooth. She could hear Nicky's taunting voice in her head and cursed herself for being such a blabbering mess. Alex joined her, both looking at the olives in silence. They'd had such a good time, but of course, she had to ruin it. Her nerves be damned.
They bought everything they needed for dinner, putting the muffins back as neither of them actually wanted them, and headed home to Alex's. The awkward tension had dissipated quite quickly and Piper decided that her word vomit was to be buried and forgotten, never to be spoken about again. Hopefully, the other woman had put it aside as well, or even better, forgotten about it. She didn't want to ruin anything between them as Alex was someone she could see herself growing old with. God, she was creepy. Three weeks in and she was already imagined their life together. She felt like a parasite, praying on her new host, waiting for the right time to attach herself to the other and never let go. Infiltrating her apartment was a good start for her domination.
What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
Alex's apartment was spacious, the New York skyline greeting them as soon as they stepped out from the hallway, giving the illusion that the room was bigger than it was. Not that it was small, not even a little. The dining area and the living room was one open space. There was a big dividing shelf by the kitchen, making it seem like its own little area. The living room was a little lower, a step down room, giving it the same feeling as with the kitchen, that it was slightly divided from the rest of the room somehow. Piper was in awe. It was a beautiful apartment and she didn't even want to think about the rent. The other woman walked over to the kitchen, putting the grocery bag on the counter and picked out what they had bought.
"Your apartment, it's- Wow. It's really beautiful," the blonde said and joined the raven haired woman.
"Thank you," Alex answered, proud smile on her lips. There was already a cutting board and a knife on the counter, onion and some peppers prepared as well. She must have lingered in front of the doorway longer than she thought.
The process of making the food was considerably fast, save for the mishap regarding the disposal of hot water from the pot with pasta. Fortunately, neither of them had gotten it over themselves. The floor, however, wasn't as lucky. Piper had apologized profusely and insisted that she would clean the mess up, and she had, thank you very much. The other had watched her with a smirk, shaking her head fondly. After dinner, and a delicious dessert, the two sat down on the couch in the living room, wine glasses filled maybe a little over the socially accepted amount. It was as if wine glasses had lines, like those cylinders in chem class, and the chosen liquid could not go over those lines. They had always been invisible to the blonde though, so she always just poured whatever amount she felt that she needed.
Alex took a sip of wine before sighing contently. Piper watched as her eyes turned serious, a question seemingly close to slip out from her plump lips. The raven haired woman put the wine glass on the coffee table before placing her elbow on the back of the couch, leaning her head on her closed hand as she watched the blonde intently. Her eyes flickered between Piper's blue ones, something close to insecurity taking over her features. She'd never seen the other woman with such an unsure look. It seemed as though she was searching for answers and the younger woman wanted to provide her with them. The only problem was that she had no idea what questions the other had. She watched as the raven haired woman fidgeted with her glasses, as if preparing herself.
"Did you mean it?" Alex asked, eyes still searching. The blonde furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, an unsure smile tugging in the corner of her mouth.
"Mean what?" Piper's voice was soft, facial expression matching the tone. She mimicked the other and put her wine glass on the table, leaning her head against her fist in a similar fashion as the woman before her. The other hand reached for the raven haired woman's free one. Her fingers traced the other's knuckles and fingers, just the smallest of touch. It seemed essential somehow to feel Alex's skin at all times. While they didn't actually touch each other every waking moment, Piper still wanted contact as often as possible. It just made everything easier. Like, even breathing felt easier whenever they held hands or just nudged each other's feet under the table. It felt as if it simply wasn't possible to live without the other woman nearby.
"What you said in the grocery store," the raven haired woman said, breaking the silence that had lay between them for a minute or so. "Did you mean it?" The blonde looked down to their hands as she gathered her thoughts properly. She knew exactly what Alex meant and she knew exactly what her answer was. Despite being completely aware of her feeling, it still felt like a humongous threshold to step over if she actually said it out loud. She looked up again, biting her lip as she nodded.
"Yes," she confirmed, eyes wide and sincere. Piper saw how the other's expression changed. It was just a slight change, but it made all the difference. Her lips slowly turned upwards and morphed into a relieved smile, eyes brightening up and eyebrows relaxing, the little, barely visible crease between them dissipating completely.
"I love you too." The words were low, but they might as well have been shouted with a megaphone. The blonde felt how her cheeks heated up as she subconsciously moved closer to the other woman. They met in the middle as Alex moved closer as well, lips finding each other with practiced ease. It was more of a peck, really, as Piper leaned back right away, smiling widely. They were still incredibly close, foreheads touching, making their vision blurry. Her hands had apparently moved to the other's neck without her knowing, thumbs stroking the sharp jawline softly.
"Say it again," she breathed against her girlfriend's mouth, getting a chuckle in return. The blonde repeated the words when the other didn't speak, chuckling a little as well. Alex wet her lips, eyes flickering back and forth a little as if to focus better.
"I love you," the raven haired woman whispered, tone completely serious again. Piper's smile disappeared as she took a shivering breath, closing her eyes.
"I love you," she whispered back, rubbing her nose against the other's slightly. Their lips met again. Soft and gentle, sweet and slow. The kiss was charged with their confessions, both needing to be so much closer. Once again, they parted, breathing in each other's air. Piper opened her eyes and found that the other was watching her intently. There was a question in the older woman's eyes, a question the blonde responded to by nodding. They stood up and Alex grabbed her hand, pulling her along with her. The blonde felt how her stomach filled up with winged creatures, all in different shapes and sizes. She was being led to the other woman's bedroom and she really shouldn't be nervous as they had slept with each other before, but it was different. It wasn't just sex. Although, it hadn't been just sex for a while. Even so, it was different. And not just because it was the first time they were in Alex's apartment. It felt different. Piper knew why.
She felt another surge in her stomach as she entered the raven haired woman's bedroom, Alex having stepped aside to let her walk into the room first. As in the previous room, she was met by large windows from floor to ceiling, but what caught her eyes the most was the large bed to her right. Just as her mind started to wander to what was about to take place on said bed, she felt gentle hands on her hips. The blonde leaned her head to the side to give the other woman more access as soft kisses were placed on her neck. A shiver went down her spine and to her groin. She closed her eyes, bottom lip between her teeth, deep breaths slightly quivering already.
The other woman's hands moved up, slowly, fabric moving along with them. Her stomach fluttered, the gentle touch sending tingles all over her body, making her give out a low moan. Alex let go of her waist, the sweater falling into place again, and put her hands on her shoulders, squeezing them a few times, massaging them. Delicate fingers moved the sleeve from one shoulder, leaving goosebumps in its wake. Alex kissed the bare skin tenderly, making her shiver, before the other shoulder was treated with the same gentle affection. Piper's sweater slid down her body and pooled around her feet, leaving her upper body completely exposed. The raven haired woman's hands moved down again, but below the hips and to the front, making quick work of opening the button and zipper on the blonde's jeans. She hooked her fingers under the waistline and pulled the jeans down as well her panties, lips tracing the younger woman's spine as she sank down. As her pants were around her ankles as well, she stepped out of the garments, tossing them God knows where with her foot.
When she turned around, Alex was standing up again, immediately moving closer to her, like a magnet to iron. Their lips met quickly before Piper, slightly reluctantly, took a small step back, pulling at the hem of the other woman's gray sweater. She pulled the garment up, not nearly as slowly and sensually as her girlfriend had, and threw it on the floor. Again, they gravitated toward each other, mouths finding each other right away. It was a sweet kiss, nothing too dirty. It was as if the mood wouldn't allow it, like the naughtier things were reserved for another day. At the moment, the blonde just wanted to take it easy, to take it slow, to make love. Piper hadn't really used that term before. Even if she'd had tender sex, she'd called it just that; sex. Love making had felt like an outdated term, something that couldn't possibly be used in the current day and age. But, as she stood flush against Alex with one hand on the other's chest and the other on her cheek, with two sure arms around her waist, love making was exactly the term to describe what they had initiated.
They broke the kiss, the arms around her easing up a bit as she stepped back yet another time, fingers finding the button and zipper on the other woman's jeans. She looked up into green eyes, looking for approval. When the little nod came, she pulled the pants down, all the while keeping steady eye contact. She pulled the panties down as well, wetting her lips subconsciously when the raven haired woman was as good as naked. There was only a bra left to remove before they were equally nude. Piper rose again, tracing Alex's body with her lips until she reached her mouth. There was a short pause where they just leaned their foreheads against each other's, breathing each other's air. The blonde closed her eyes and raised her hands to her girlfriend's cheeks, stroking them with gentle thumbs. Alex's hands rested on the shorter woman's hips, mimicking her small movements. Their lips met again, bodies acting on their own and inching even closer. It was as if they needed the closeness to function. Piper, for one, needed the intimacy, needed to feel the other's heartbeat rather than to hear it. She lowered her hands slowly and traced the lace fabric with her fingertips, stopping once they reached the bra hooks pressing against Alex's back. Though she usually struggled with three hooks, removing the older woman's bra was unusually easy. It too was dropped to the floor and before long, the blonde's hands were on her girlfriend's neck.
She took a step backwards, toward the bed, but didn't let go of the raven haired woman. The two stumbled a bit before they landed on the bed, resulting in them giggling between kisses. They moved on the bed, somewhat smoothly, so that the blonde had her head on a pillow with the other above her. There was a big, warm smile on her lips and her eyes squinted a bit, making the glasses ride up on her nose. Piper reached up and removed them, putting them on the bedside table before focusing solely on the slightly older woman.
"Hi," she whispered softly.
"Hi," Alex answered lovingly, equally low. She leaned down and gave her a kiss on the lips before shifting a bit, holding herself up on one elbow, hip on the mattress and her free hand on the blonde's stomach. The other woman looked down to were her hand rested and began drawing feather light patterns with her fingertips, hand steadily moving lower. Piper inhaled shakily as it reached her hip bone, lower body pressing upwards on their own accord as if to meet the touch. The raven haired woman looked up at her again and wet her lips, teeth grazing the pink skin. It looked so tempting. Without realizing it, she mimicked the movement, gasping as Alex moved her hand even lower.
The blonde grabbed onto the other's neck and pulled her down, kissing her softly as the other's fingers reached where Piper wanted them the most. She moaned lowly into the other woman's mouth as her clit was stimulated, hips meeting the touch with small movements. Her hand moved downward and cupped the other's breast instead, tweaking the hard nipple between her fingers. A small moan rippled out from Alex as well, sound almost drowned in the blonde's mouth.
The blonde broke the kiss and let her hand fall to the mattress, pressing her head into the pillow as the other woman's finger started rubbing more earnestly. Her body was shivering despite feeling overheated and as soft lips pressed against her neck she ignited, making her moan brokenly. The other woman made a trail of kisses down her body, stopping once she reached her breasts. Another moan escaped Piper's esophagus as the raven haired woman started sucking on one of her nipples. She wanted to both press herself against the other's hand and her mouth, but human anatomy wouldn't let her do that. If she was a worm, however- Her thoughts were cut short as Alex bit down on the hard nub, making her give out a needy groan. The dull pain shot straight to her groin, causing her face to distort in pleasure. Like the huge cliché that she was, she grabbed onto the sheets, back arching off the bed slightly.
"Al, I... I wanna touch," she breathed. "Let me t-touch you."
"You are, babe," the raven haired woman teased, nibbling on the slightly sore nipple.
"Y-You know what I mean," Piper answered and gently pulled on the raven locks. Alex gave out a sound that was like a mix between a moan and a chuckle before leaning up again, looking into the blonde's waiting eyes.
"So touch me," she whispered, causing a warm smile to spread on Piper's lips. The younger woman pulled the other in and kissed her sweetly, savoring the feeling of her plump lips against hers. She opened her mouth immediately, allowing entrance as her hand moved downward. Although she wanted to tease Alex, her inability to restrain herself kept her from doing so. She was too eager to take detours. The other woman shifted slightly, making it easier for Piper to reach.
As her hand got to the raven haired woman's cunt, she wasted no time. Her middle finger found the clit right away, making the other moan into her mouth again. The other woman was so deliciously wet and that alone was enough to drive Piper crazy. They'd had sex plenty times already, but no matter how many times she felt the other's wetness, she still felt the same surge in her stomach, the same sense of pride. She was the one who got her like that, she was the one who got her wet without even touching her.
Alex moved her hips against her hand and Piper did the same against hers. They moved so effortlessly with each other, bodies completely in unison as their soft moans filled the room. The blonde was used to being a little more rough and a little more dirty, but it was just gentle. Gentle fingers and gentle movements, nothing too fast. A small part of her wanted to be completely dominated by the other, like last time. Alex had tied her to the headboard and fucked her with a strap on from behind. That part was ignored, though, as she much preferred being gentle for the time being. It felt much more intimate, like it wasn't just their bodies that were connected, but also their hearts and souls. Piper almost wanted to slap herself for such a tacky thought, but it was true. She felt more connected to the other woman than she ever had.
She also felt like she was very close to coming. And judging by her girlfriend's moans, she was close as well. The blonde broke the kiss, mouth still gracing the other's, noses bumping against each other.
"'m close," Piper murmured, breathing shakily against the raven haired woman's lips. Alex nodded before confirming that she was indeed also nearing her climax. The blonde felt the familiar contractions in her crotch and the icy pleasure pooling in the pit of her stomach. It wouldn't take much for her to come and usually, that would make her want to hold back a bit, just to prolong the act, but instead she let herself indulge in the overwhelming sensation of the other woman's fingers against her sensitive clit.
Alex whispered sweet nothings in her ear, hip movements becoming more irregular and breath more labored. Piper tried to reciprocate the words, opened her mouth to speak, but the words died on her tongue as a particularly loud groan left her lips. She arched her back, pressing her chest against the other's while gasping desperately into her mouth.
"Come for me, babe," the raven haired woman panted, both voice and body quivering. The blonde could tell that it wasn't just because of the orgasm closing in on her, but that the muscles in her body were starting to capitulate. Piper nodded eagerly, wanting to give in to the pleasure and let it consume her. It started in her chest, this tiny ball of ember expanding as it made its way down, igniting her stomach as flames spread throughout her body, making her shiver by the sheer force of it. She gave out a series of breathy moans as she rode out the orgasm, Alex's fingers never leaving her clit, rubbing her just right.
The blonde started moving her fingers again, not having realized that she had even stopped. The other woman moaned brokenly, pressing her face into the crook of Piper's neck as she moved her hand from the blonde's cunt. She missed the feeling right away, but didn't complain. It just felt unnecessary to when she'd just had such an intense orgasm. Despite, they had all night to do whatever the hell they wanted. Piper let go of Alex's neck, placing the hand on her quivering back. Her whole body was shaking so much and her hip movements were erratic. And the sounds she was making... Needy moans that seemed to get caught in her throat, making it sound like she was about to lose her voice.
It happened from time to time.
They would fuck each other senseless, make each other sore for days as they would go on for hours. It wasn't unusual for them to come several times during sex, but those long nights were especially steamy. Those long nights were not for lovemaking. They were for filthy, sexy fucking.
Piper shivered at the thought, proud of herself for making the raven haired woman sound so wrecked without being particularly naughty. She turned her head a bit, telling Alex to let go, to let the orgasm take over. That seemed to be all the other woman needed as her movements stiffened, hips locked in a position that would be uncomfortable hadn't it been for the waves of pleasure washing over her. She started moving her hips slowly again, still a bit erratic, grinding herself through the after shocks. When it became too much, she twitched a little, making the blonde remove her hand.
Alex lay down next to Piper, facing her with a content smile. She couldn't help but to smile back. As she too turned to lay on her side, the other woman instantly moved closer, cupping her cheek with a gentle hand. The blonde moved her head ever so slightly, kissing the pad under the thumb softly.
"This was... different," the raven haired woman whispered, still smiling lovingly. Wasn't it for the smile, the words could have been interpreted negatively. The younger woman knew better, though. She had felt and heard just how good it had been for the other woman. She had felt how good it was for herself. She hummed in agreement, before speaking.
"A good different," Piper said, draping her arm over the other's waist.
"A good different," Alex confirmed, nodding.
They lay silently for a while, the raven haired woman tracing her face with her thumb, like she was mapping it out to have it permanently saved, storing it in her muscle memory as well as in her retina. Piper felt her cheeks heat up, but she didn't turn her face into the pillow. Instead, she let the other drag her finger over her nose, over her eyebrow, over her cheek, green eyes following like they were spellbound. The thumb smoothed over her upper lip, slowly moving down to the bottom lip where it rested before it pressed down a little, opening the mouth. Piper let her tongue dart out, licking the digit tentatively. It was just a small movement, but it made Alex inhale deeply. The blonde wrapped her mouth around the finger, sucking on it lightly. The raven haired woman wet her lips as she watched the thumb sink deeper. Piper hadn't intended to arouse the other, hadn't really thought at all before she acted, but as her tongue moved over the digit, she could see the green irises being engulfed by the black pupils yet again. Well. Okay. Wow.
The blonde pulled back a little, letting the thumb slip out of her mouth. Alex blinked a few times, swallowing, before regaining a casual composure. Another smile broke out on her lips.
"I swear, you can make anything sexual," she chuckled, placing her hand on the curve of Piper's hip.
"As if pressing your thumb against someone's lips is innocent," the blonde retorted, grin growing wide. Alex's answer was instantaneous.
"It was, until you started sucking on it." The younger woman opened her mouth in mock offense.
"Well," she began, pausing a beat too long to be convincing. "You were begging for it." The smile on the other woman's lips grew even wider, eyes crinkling in the corners.
"Was I, now?" she teased. Piper pinched her hip playfully, making the other woman give out a loud chuckle. The blonde surged forward, stopping the teasing the only way she knew how. She connected their lips, with Alex still smiling widely. They both laughed into the kiss, the other woman's hands coming up to Piper's face to keep her from moving away. The blonde mirrored the movement, loving how they acted like lovestruck teenagers. It was so nice to be with someone who, not only acted silly, but encouraged her to do the same. She didn't have to worry about whether she was cool enough or whatever. All she had to do was to be herself.
The kiss turned into several small pecks instead, but neither of them seemed to mind.
"You're such an idiot," the blonde said fondly, punctuating each word with a kiss. The other woman only laughed as an answer.
As they calmed down, they gravitated towards each other, like they always did. Alex wrapped her arms around her as Piper lay her head on her chest. There was a soothing hand stroking her back softly and she melted into the touch immediately. The blonde listened to the rhythmic beat of the raven haired woman's heart, feeling her own heart synchronizing with it.
"I wish we could stay like this forever," she said. "No obligations, no other people, no nothing. Just us." Piper both heard and felt the agreeing hum that Alex gave out, the sound vibrating through her chest.
"I don't think I could ever grow tired of you," she continued, drawing little hearts on the other's skin with her index finger. When the other woman didn't answer, the blonde turned her head upwards to face her. Their eyes met and Piper could tell that the statement hadn't caused any damage. Alex pushed some of the blonde locks away from her face and she couldn't help but to lean into the touch.
"I love you," Piper said, words falling from her tongue so easily. She still struggled to say it to both Nicky and Polly sometimes, but as she looked up at the other woman, nothing could stop her from speaking her mind. It felt so right, like the phrase was meant only for the other woman.
"I love you too," Alex answered just as easily, a small, private smile visible on her lips. The smile that was reserved solely for her. Piper moved up a bit, the other woman meeting her halfway with a sweet kiss that held so many promises. The blonde always thought about the future and what it would bring, but for once in her life, she was content. She didn't need to plan ahead, she didn't need to know where she would be in a week. All she knew was that in that moment, she had everything she wanted, everything she needed, and that was far more than she could ever dream of.
