Chapter 7

Alex closed the door with a smile as Piper walked towards the cab. She insisted that she could get to her car by herself. Alex agreed as along as she would text her when she got home. The last 14 or so hours were amazing. Alex couldn't get the blonde out of her head. Everything about her was intoxicating, and she just felt powerless around her. Usually around other people, especially women, she was always in control. Nothing was distracting, and she never lost her focus. Her job demanded that, but with Piper all that was out the window. She only met her last night, but it felt like a lifetime.

Alex never got close to anybody. The only person who really knew her was her own mother. Her mom saw through the bullshit, lies, and even promises. Alex has never told her mom what she did for a living, but she knew. The trips, money, and extravagant house made it pretty obvious. Alex didn't want to upset her mother by telling her the truth. Every day when she drove Alex home from school she would say "don't do it. I know the money might seem nice, but you can do better. I know you can do better." Alex never believed she could do a straight job. She saw her mother work her fingers to the bone with four jobs just to keep glasses on her face. Alex was very grateful for that, and always would be.

When the opportunity arose to get into the business, she did. She was straight out of high school and was working at some run down music store. Her mother saved money for college, but she turned it down. Her mother than said she could do whatever she wanted. The money was for Alex. She put the money under her bed, but didn't know what to do with it. Soon, the money didn't matter. She gave the money, plus more, back to her mother and said she found a fantastic job. Her mother took the money back, but said it was still Alex's if she wanted. Alex had yet to take the money back. She was now two years in and rising up the ranks. She was brilliant at her job. Her job was distributing heroin globally for an international drug cartel.

Telling Piper was going to be tough. Piper most definitely did not seem like the type of person to be into that scene. She was kind, intelligent, witty, and deadly adorable. Alex liked her. A lot. She never felt this way about anybody emotionally. Usually it was sexually, and it lasted a few weeks at most.

The knock at the door earlier almost pushed the conversation sooner rather than later. One of her drug mules came knocking at the door completely high off her ass. Alex usually tested the water with potential mules by giving them a very small amount to sell. It was small enough to have them come back in a few days, or have them come crawling back for more because they personally used it. How the girl found her house was worrying enough, but she was too frustrated at the time to give a damn. She sent her off, told her to never come back, and slammed the door. Alex would put a block on her number later.

She looked at the clock and noticed it was only 1:30 in the afternoon. She sighed and went off to her computer to do some work occasionally checking her phone for a certain text.

Piper handed some money to the cab driver as she arrived at the bar. She got into her car and leaned her head back against the seat. Wow. What a night. It felt like her life went from 0 to 60 in a blink of an eye. This woman came out of nowhere, and she was happy for that. Last night was the most fun she had had in a long time. She was never a person to just throw logic and reason out the window, but apparently it paid off. What else had she missed out on in life? She was sure none of it was close to Alex, and that was ok. Something about this woman was mysterious, but familiar at the same time. She felt anxious yet comfortable. They were two polar opposites, but Piper didn't care. As long as she was near Alex and felt her touch, it would be ok. Oh god, her touch. Piper never thought of herself as a sexual person, but Alex changed that. Alex changed a lot.

Piper reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. It was only 1:30. Fuck. She had a while to wait until tonight.

She was honestly excited. Nervous. Anxious. Scared. Terrified. What was she going to wear? How would she act? What would she do? What was Alex going to do? Piper wasn't worried about where Alex was going to take her, but what would happen after. Would anything happen after? Piper knew she was over reacting, but Alex. Oh god. Alex was amazing. Everything about her was amazing. Her touch, smell, body, hair, hands… it was all amazing. Especially her hands. When Alex ran her fingers along her tattoo it made her shiver. Her fingers were slow, soft, and determined all at the same time. As soon as their skin made contact it sent shock electricity throughout every nerve in Piper's body. It made her feel alive. Alex made her feel alive.

She put the car in gear and drove towards her apartment. She needed to change. Piper drove home with a smile as she realized she was still in Alex's clothes.

Piper walked out of her room and into the kitchen. She went to the fridge to grab a pitcher of iced tea when her phone chirped. The blonde walked towards her phone with the pitcher in hand. Alex. A smile broke out across her face.

From Alex:

I noticed you left with my clothes on. You can keep them. It's kind of hot thinking you are wearing them ;)

Piper giggled. Too bad she didn't have them on anymore.

To Alex:

I did have them on. Now I am safe and sound in my own.

Piper continued with the iced tea. She grabbed a clean glass from the sink and poured the drink. Another chirp from her phone.

From Alex:

You are ruining all my fun.

She rolled her eyes and took a sip from her drink. Chirp.

From Alex:

You know. It's only 2:30.

To Alex:

I do. Clocks and watches are amazing inventions.

From Alex:

You know what else is an amazing invention? Showers. I saw you used mine, and my towels.

Piper stood still. She forgot about that. She was going to tell Alex, but she got distracted… by her lips.

To Alex:

Yeah. There were no other towels.

From Alex:

It's quite okay. You can use them any time you want.

To Alex:

Are you implying that there will be another time?

From Alex:

I sure as hell hope so.

Piper smiled. She hoped so too. Piper walked lazily into her room to try and find what to wear tonight. It was now 3. God. Could time move any slower?

From Alex:

Where and what time should I pick you up?

To Alex:

454 64th Street Apt 4A. You tell me on the time?

From Alex:

Be ready to be picked up at 5. Wear something nice.

Piper felt that shock through her body that only Alex could cause. 2 hours.
