Previous chapter

"Are you still going to be around when I'm done working?" Piper could see the sparkle in Alex's eyes and she didn't want to turn down the brunette. On the other hand she knew that her friends would want to go home way before that. She didn't have to say anything because Alex saw her hesitation but luckily also seemed to know what it was about. "If you'd like… I could walk you home after?"

Piper's lips formed into a smile and Alex had a hard time to dim the lights of hope inside her head. But maybe.. just maybe that wasn't a bad thing.


New chapter

As the night progressed Alex kept eyeing Piper on the dance floor. She was quite aware that the blonde had no idea that she was looking sexy as fuck. And still Alex wasn't the only one who thought so. Even though Larry did get the message through Pete earlier that evening, he was just as incapable of keeping his eyes off of the young blonde woman dancing before him.

He did however realize that Piper wasn't who he thought she was. He was surprised to say the least to see this shy blonde approach that brunette bar lady the way she did tonight. He would've never have guessed that Piper batted for both teams, or was a lesbian.. he wasn't sure exactly. After he saw the two woman dance together he looked at Pete with his puppy dog eyes. Pete obviously was spending too much time with Nicky at the bar because he copied her sentences all the time. "Calm your tits mate, she's still in to dudes also."

Larry had found little comfort into the words of his friend. Of course he was glad to hear that Piper was still into men as well. But the fact was that he didn't think that Piper was the girl that went for girls at all.. He didn't know if that was something he could cope with.

Little did he know that he never had to cope with anything involving Piper because she was by no means interested in the guy. And that had little to do with the fact that she was into women also. From the moment she first met Larry through Polly and Pete she had thought that the guy was dull. She didn't immediately think that he was ugly or something like that but that just wasn't enough because when she had a conversation with the guy she quickly found herself bored out of her mind and dreaming for the 'double date' to be over.

Even though Larry couldn't keep his eyes off of Piper.. he had enough of her for this night and started to look around the club if there was even a chance of hooking up with another girl. Alex was still watching Larry and keeping a close eye on him because even though Piper wasn't hers.. she wanted her to be and wasn't going to let anyone interfere with that. She actually thought it was hilarious that both her and Larry were obviously hooked for the blonde.. but Piper on the other hand.. didn't get the memo of those two people who seemed to be busy with only her on their minds.

Piper was just having fun with her friend Polly. They were enjoying the perks of Piper working at Saltshaker which meant large amounts of free tequila for the both of them. Of course Piper forgot that she was a lightweight and had some kind of appointment with Alex later that night. She would be around in the club until Alex was done working and Alex would walk her home after they got to spend some time together. But at the way Piper was drinking her liquor tonight.. it would probably a miracle if she even could walk home at all.

It was always the same with Piper. She was drinking tequila and felt looser almost immediately. It felt good which was why she kept drinking but at some point the booze always really kicked in and when that happened it was already too late. It was the same every night out but it didn't stop her from repeating that same mistake again and again.

When Polly, Pete and Larry were about to leave they all three weren't aware that Piper was already too drunk to go home by herself and that maybe it would have been best that she went home with them. But still Piper didn't say anything to her friends because even if she was drunk, she didn't forget about Alex and her promise to let Alex walk her home later that night. She figured that as long Alex was around she would be alright.

But as the evening progressed the liquor kept kicking in even though she didn't drink anything after, she felt that the booze were getting to her head in rapid speed. Piper was smart enough to retreat to the private lounge area for employees because staying in that club with the loud music and praying men and women all around her.. it didn't exactly help her get sober at all.


Alex didn't know what happened but she hadn't seen the blonde for a while in the club. Normally she wouldn't jump to conclusions but the blonde did disappear on her before so she wouldn't be surprised if she did just that again tonight. It didn't mean that she wasn't disappointed by that fact because she was really looking forward to walking Piper home later that night. She still had to work for about another hour and decided to just make the best of it and see what she would do about Piper after..

Indeed about an hour later she walked into the lounge to take another famous shower and this time after that shower she would go straight home for the evening. At least.. that was her plan until she saw the blonde woman of her day- and night dreams sitting, well more like lying on one of the couches in the lounge. It looked like she was already there for quite some time and she was obviously in a deep and restless sleep.

The thought that Piper didn't run out on her again made Alex's heart flutter. All she knew at that moment was that Piper had felt either too drunk or too tired to be around people but still waited in the lounge because she promised Alex that she would stay. Instead of taking that shower she moved directly towards the blonde woman that was currently spread out on the couch. There was still a small space on the couch in which she could fit and she lowered her body slowly towards it in hopes that it didn't wake up the younger woman immediately.

She stroked her thumbs softly across Piper's cheeks because even though she didn't want to wake up the younger girl.. she knew that it wouldn't be long before all the others would come in to the lounge and they would obviously wake up the blonde with less consideration than her. After about ten strokes and adding whispers from Alex the blonde slowly opened her eyes. Immediately her head felt like a ton of bricks were resting on top of it.

Alex saw Piper make an uncomfortable face and knew now that the blonde had way too much to drink tonight. "Too much tequila huh?" The brunette spoke up and Piper couldn't stop crunching her face in the way that Alex found adorable. Piper closed her eyes and lied her head back on the couch again. "No, no.. babe. You still need to get up. I'm supposed to take you home remember." Piper just crunched her face again. "What do you want then Pipes.. everybody else is going to come in soon," said the brunette. Piper still didn't open her eyes but she spoke up. "I want to sleep." Alex chuckled because again Piper sounded like a little child. "If I told you I have a bedroom here at the club, what would you say," she asked the blonde. The response was almost immediate. "Yes please."

Alex picked Piper up bridal style because clearly Piper wasn't in any state or mood to move her feet right now. Alex walked through a door in the lounge that Piper didn't recognize. It brought them into a hallway which was decorated homely and if Piper hadn't known that they were in a club there was nothing here that would suspect the hallway to take residence inside a club. On the walls she saw pictures of a younger Alex together with what she suspected was her mother.

The brunette opened another door and they entered a huge space which could hardly go for a bedroom. It was more like a loft which was luxuriously decorated like the rest of everything Alex owned. That was exactly the reason the brunette hid this space from all her employers at the club. She didn't want them to think she was some pretentious rich person because back when she was young she despised those people. She just worked hard and build herself a life. Who was she to deny herself all this comfort when she knew she earned it and could afford it.

She promised herself that she would tell Piper her life story. If she wanted Piper to know the real her she knew that was necessary. But for now she could provide the blonde some comfort by moving her to the loft in her favorite club. It was the only club which was this complete with all the private areas. It was the first club Alex bought and over the years she perfected it almost annoyingly with all the details and effort she put into it.

In the middle of the wide space against the wall a large king-size bed was luring Piper in right away and she made no effort to hold in her happiness in that moment. Alex was still carrying Piper but it was getting harder because Piper tried to wiggle her way out of Alex's arms to get to the bed faster. At one point Alex practically ran with Piper in her hands and when they finally reached the bed she let Piper fall on top of it. She wasn't planning for it to happen but Piper was being stubborn and it was either that or dropping her to the floor. By dropping Piper on the bed and the blonde woman not letting go of her she fell on top of Piper and when she tried to roll off of her out of respect she felt the younger girl clamping her arms around her a little tighter than before. "Pipes, you need to let go of me in order for me to get off of you." She told the younger woman. Piper indeed let go of Alex but her words told her the opposite. "Don't want to let you go." Alex propped herself up on her arms to get a closer look at Piper's face in that moment. She looked sincere, tired and Alex couldn't help but think of Piper like a little angel right then.

She didn't want anything else in the world more than to give into Piper's words and just hold her for the rest of the night.. but she also didn't want to take advantage of the blonde in her drunken state of mind. "Maybe it's best if you just go to sleep and I will go sleep in Nicky's room okay? See that door there.. if you need me I will be right next to you okay babe?" Alex placed a delicate kiss on Piper's cheek and moved her body from the blond completely. She walked towards the kitchen in the loft and walked back towards the bed to place a bucket next to it, just in case Piper might need it later. Piper had already closed her eyes again and her mouth hung open slightly. Alex didn't want the blonde to wake up later in her dancing clothes with her shoes still on so once again she spoke to the blonde softly. "You still need to get out of your clothes Pipes." Of course Piper didn't answer but just groaned. "Want me to help you?" She asked the blonde in the hope she would get some kind of okay from the younger woman. She felt a little uncomfortable having to remove her clothes without the blonde knowing what she was doing and waking up in the middle of it. Luckily she got a "Mhmh" as a quiet whisper from Piper. She removed Piper's shoes first and walked towards her closet to grab a large t-shirt for the blonde to wear. She grabbed the straps of Piper's dress and removed them from her shoulders. Because Piper was lying down she figured that this would be the easiest way to remove her dress without waking the blonde up. Getting Piper into the shirt was a little harder but she managed anyway.

After one last look Alex walked towards the door she pointed out to Piper earlier and disappeared from the room. She quickly got rid of all her clothes and also changed into a large t-shirt. She collapsed onto the bed and sleep came quickly to her this time.


She must have been really tired because when she woke later that night she found herself still in 'Nicky's' bed but on top of her lay the blonde woman she got to care about so much over the past few weeks. She just figured that somewhere in the night Piper indeed used the door she pointed towards and climbed into bed with her. It was the second time Alex found herself in bed with Piper. Still nowhere close to the way Alex would've hoped, but for now it was close enough anyway.

She now realized that even in her unconsciousness she had wrapped her arms around the woman and in a sleeping state she wasn't as careful as normally around Piper. Her hands were placed inside Piper's panties and currently took residence on Piper's ass cheeks. To that she chuckled to herself and quickly removed her hands because even in this short period of awareness the feeling of Piper's toned and soft skin under her hands was getting to her head quickly. She wrapped her arms around Piper's thin frame and her hands took a rest underneath the t-shirt she was wearing in order for her hands to receive the warmth of the blonde's warm skin. She closed her eyes again and tried to savor the feeling of Piper's closeness this way.
