This chapter is a little sappy. Sorry for that. I couldn't help it haha. Im a hopeless romantic.

Thanks so much for reading and all of your great reviews!

Hope you enjoy :)


Fire shot through Alex's entire body as her lips met Piper's. She could feel electricity shooting down her fingers. She was pretty sure every person in the city could hear her heart. She felt alive. Like the rest of her life had not had a single meaning up until now.

Piper tasted like Cherry, smelt like Vanilla, and Alex was intoxicated. She put an arm behind Piper's back and pulled her in closer. Piper inhaled sharply and moaned softly, right into Alex's mouth. She was loosing control fast but tried to keep it in check. She didn't want to ruin this moment.

Piper wrapped her arms around Alex's neck and leaned her entire body into Alex as she deepened the kiss. Alex needed air. She didn't want to move from this embrace though. She never wanted to move from it. She wanted to bring Piper back to her house and stay like this for an eternity. But Piper was younger than her and less experienced. Much more naive and fragile than Alex. She wanted this to be special.

Alex finally pulled back. If she didn't soon she may have fainted from the nerves running through her body. She cast her eyes down at Piper as a smile played on her lips.

"Wow." Piper breathed and licked her lips. She met Alex's eyes briefly before looking at her lips and then back up to her eyes. Without another word she leaned forward their lips met again. This was a brief kiss. Within seconds she had pulled back again. Alex bit her lip nervously, waiting for Piper to say something.

Instead of words, Piper took a step forwards so she was practically pressed up against Alex and put her head on her shoulder, taking a deep sigh. Alex wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck and there they stood. Not a sound could be heard besides the sound of the snow falling and the occasional car driving down the road. Alex was content to have her in her arms, even if her face was flushed and her fingers ice cold.

"I should really be getting home. My mother's going to freak if I'm out much later." Piper whispered. Alex reluctently let her go and nodded. It was getting pretty late.

"Okay," She whispered into Piper's ear, grinning as the blonde shivered.

Both girls were fairly content on the drive home. Neither said much. Piper ran her fingertips across Alex's right hand that was resting on the gear shift. Alex shivered slightly at the touch. She wanted to kiss her again. Right now. To feel whatever the fuck she had felt again.

"Want to take a long way home?" Piper asked. She knew she needed to go home like 2 hours ago, but she didn't care. She'd take her mother's wrath in the morning. It would be worth it if she could spend an extra hour alone with Alex.

"I thought you had to be home." For having such a tough guy exterior, she was very attentive and chivalrous.

"I do but...I'd rather spend some more time with you."

Even in the dark, she could see Alex's smile light up her face.

"We could always hop on the highway, go up a few exits, then double back. Not much of a long way home but it's the best I can think of right now."

"It's perfect," Piper whispered. She put her head on Alex's shoulder and closed her eyes. She didn't ever want this night to end. Alex was perfect. Everything was perfect.

She didn't know what they were. What to call them. They had gone out on a date. Does that mean they are just dating? What about that kiss. That wasn't the standard 5 second first kiss. That kiss was mind blowing. It was still giving Piper butterflies. Were they girlfriends? It felt like it but Piper was far to nervous to ask. To even suggest it. It was clear that Alex liked her. But this was brand new territory for her. She had been with a couple boys before but she had never felt this fire before. She didn't know how to explain it.

They were only on the highway for 10 minutes but it was the best 10 minutes of Piper's life. They didn't speak. They just drove hand in hand with Piper's head never leaving Alex's shoulder. They stopped at a stoplight and Alex leaned over, kissing Piper on the top of her head. She bit her lip to muffle the gasp that escaped from her lips. She hoped Alex always effected her this way.

"We're here." Alex said a few moments later as she pulled into Piper's driveway. Piper sleepily sat up, rubbing her eyes. She had been half asleep for the last few minutes. It was so incredibly comfortable being around the brunette. Piper gathered her things and was about to turn to say good-bye when Alex got out of the car. She walked around the front and over to Piper's door, opening it for her. Before Piper could comment, she was taking her hand and leading her to the front door.

"I had so much fun with you tonight." Alex's voice was barely a whisper.

"Me too. I can't wait to do it again..." She smiled as she looked into Alex's eyes. She leaned forward and their lips touched. Not as hesitantly as before, but just as soft. Before Piper knew it, the kiss was over. Alex bit her lower lip and looked down at her feet. She adjusted the glasses on her face before looking up.

"I know you said you were around tomorrow...and I get it if you don't want to spend another day with me this weekend...but I will be at my friends house for the afternoon cramming for a test next week and she was wanting to meet you...but if you don't want to, it's fine." Alex looked awkward looking so unsure. It was adorable.

"I'd love to. I'll text you in the morning?"

Alex smiled and nodded. She leaned forward and gave Piper one last kiss. "Good night Pipes." She whispered and just like that Alex faded into the night.

Piper sighed and leaned against the wall to her house. She wasn't ready to go inside just yet. It was beyond cold out and she couldn't feel her fingers or toes, but she could feel Alex's lips on hers and she wanted to savor the feeling for a moment longer.
