Alex stepped forward into the kitchen, sitting across from her mother at the table.
Diane watches as her daughter picks up a bag of chips from the side and opens them, settling herself in the chair, staring anywhere in the kitchen but back at her.
"So…" She began, watching as Alex slowly met her eyes, "You and Piper?"
Alex felt a blush creep up her face. She cursed herself inwardly, she never gets flustered, and talking about sex with her mom has never been a problem, but something about talking to her about sex with Piper was making her uncomfortable.
Diane watched as her daughter squirmed, and she felt a pang of sympathy run through her,
"Hey, I'm not making fun of you kid. I'm not mad, I'm just a little confused I guess. I thought you always said she liked guys?"
"I always thought she did," Alex shrugged looking at her mom, "it's a recent thing, mom. Me and Pipes… Very recent"
Diane nodded, pursing her lips,
"And the boyfriend?" She pressed, this was the part she was worried about.
"… Is still around yeah, before you say anything mom I know it's wrong, I shouldn't be getting myself involved when she has someone else but… I dunno I just… I can't help it with her."
Diane's gaze softened as she looked at Alex, she always knew she had a soft spot for the blonde girl, ever since she was a kid.
"Well, you're 18, Al. You're an adult and I'm not gunna tell you how to live your life, fuck knows I've made my fair share of mistakes. But I'm just warning you, be careful, make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. I don't wanna see you get hurt over this girl, she's been a good friend to you, you don't wanna mess that up."
Alex nodded, "I know, I know. Piper wouldn't hurt me mom. It's not like we just hooked up I mean we've talked about… You know… Feelings and… Stuff" she trailed off, blushing again.
Diane smiled, she figured Alex had had enough grilling, she was a big girl and she could make her own choices now.
"Well kid, congrats anyway. She might have a boyfriend, but I always told you you could get anything you wanted if you tried hard enough"
Her mom winked at her and raised her beer bottle to her in a toast, Alex grinned and looked towards the TV, wondering whether Piper had gotten to Polly's yet.
"Are you out of your fucking mind Piper? Since when have you been into girls? Is this another stunt to piss your mom off? Because seriously I'm not on board with this one! What about Larry? I mean I know he's a wet blanket but cheating on him? And with a woman? Actually no, not even with a woman, with supercunt. That's like beating him up then spitting on him when he's down!"
"Wet blanket? Why does everyone keep saying that? What does that even mean? And supercunt? Where the fuck has that come from!?"
Piper squinted in thought towards Polly, making her way through the snacks in her cupboard since the lack of food at Alex's, she was reaching for some chocolate just as Polly's hand reached up and slapped her away,
"Piper! I'm serious! Where is your head right now?"
Piper stared into Polly's brown eyes as they furrowed over, they were filled with concern,
"My head is in the right place Polly, it's the first time it's been in the right place for a long time. I really like Alex, I have done for ages. I told her, she said she felt the same thing, one thing led to another and… Here we are…" She smiled at her friend, hoping to break through her stony glare, she felt like she was taking to her mother.
"And here we are, chess club Larry crying in a corner and you off in the sunset as the new Queen of Lesbians"
Piper stared at her for a minute and Polly stared back, before they both burst out in laughter. When Polly controlled herself, she looked back at Piper, both eyes and voice softer now as she said,
"Seriously though, Pipes. What about Larry?"
"I don't love Larry," Piper shrugged, "it's as simple as that."
"And do you love Alex?" Polly tilted her head,
Piper frowned, she cared about Alex. She had loved her as a friend for years, but did she love her in that way? It was too soon to tell, she felt things for Alex she'd never felt for anyone before, but love was a big word,
"I don't know" Piper said simply, levelling her gaze with Polly's, "I do know that I've never felt the away about anyone else that I do about her. She makes me happy, Pol"
Polly smiled at her, caving in to her friends happiness.
"Well you need to tell Larry, soon. It's not fair on him."
"I know, and I will. Me and Alex just need to talk things out first"
"Okay well, be careful, don't go throwing yourself all over each other in public, you're lucky our entire class is used to you being wasted and rubbing up on people, I've heard about that dancing at the party. All makes sense now, you lesbian"
Piper grinned as Polly pulled a face at her, getting up from the table, she grabbed her back again,
"I better get home Pol, my mother is probably having a heart attack right now."
Polly stood up to take Piper in a tight cuddle,
"Okay Pipes, I love you okay? Keep me posted"
"I love you too, you little psycho"
She moved away from Polly to open the door, before a thought struck her mind,
"Hey, Polly?" She called, as her best friend turned around she made a questioning noise,
Piper grinned, "If my mom asks, I'm staying over here tonight okay?"
Polly gawped at her,
"Can you tell me where you're actually going?"
Piper just grinned, raising one of her brows,
"Ew. Okay, okay I don't even want to know the reason behind a grin like that one, I've got you covered, you whore"
Piper grins as she turns to leave, as she shuts the door she hears Polly shout,
"And tell supercunt to start remembering my name if I'm covering to get her laid!"
Piper laughed, not answering her friend as she left.
"Fucking lesbians" Polly grinned to herself as she heard the door shut.
Back at her house, Piper laid back on her bed, holding her phone over her head, staring at the number that had LARRY above it in big, bold letters.
Her finger hovered above the call button as she chewed on her bottom lip, her brow furrowed. She wasn't going to break up with Larry over the phone, she owed him that, but she needed to let him know she wanted to talk, she needed to make a date for them to sit down to each other so Piper could tell him everything.
Sighing, she pressed the green button, holding the phone to her ear and closing her eyes.
The phone barely finished its first ring when Larry's nasal voice came across the line,
"Pipes! Hey I've been worried about you, are you still feeling sick?"
Piper was about to question him when she remembered her hurried excuses before she ran off with Alex the night before,
"Hey, Larry. Yeah I'm feeling better now, don't know what came over me last night."
"Well at least you're feeling better now, do you wanna come over tonight? My parents aren't in, we could get takeaway?"
Piper closed her eyes, guilt taking over her again as she murmured,
"I'm having a night in with Polly tonight, staying over at her place. Ice cream, movies, you know how it is"
Larry chuckled,
"Okay, well. Can I see you soon? It's been a while since we spent some time together just you and me, you know"
Piper rubbed her hand over her face,
"Yeah actually Larry I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go to get coffee tomorrow? I think we need to talk"
There was silence on the line,
"Talk? About what?"
Larry's voice broke as he spoke, and Piper rubbed her temples,
"Stuff… Us." She whispered, Larry started trying to speak but Piper spoke over him, "Larry just don't worry about it okay? We'll talk tomorrow, I've gotta go"
Larry was quiet for a moment until he spoke in a small voice,
"Okay, I love you, Pipes"
Piper groaned inwardly,
"See you later, Larry"
She flopped back on the bed, she'd avoided telling Larry she loved him, feeling like another lie to him would weigh her down.
Just as she let go of her phone, it buzzed as a text came through.
Alex: Hey babe, how did Polly take the news? I would have rang but I know Carol is home, and that woman can hear for miles x
Piper smiled, shaking her head at how such a mundane text could cheer her up,
Piper: Polly was awesome, as per. She's covering me tonight, my mom thinks I'm staying at hers tonight, so I'm all yours ;) x
Alex: And you said you couldn't be bad ;) x
Piper felt a jolt in her stomach again, she was becoming familiar to the feeling of melting because of Alex. Pursing her lips, Piper chooses to tease her,
Piper: I'll show you just how bad I can be tonight, I've got plans for you x
She grins, she'd hardly even sent the text when her phone buzzed again,
Alex: Don't tease me, Pipes. You won't like me when I'm mad…
Piper closed her eyes, groaning, Alex was teasing back.
Piper: I've got a feeling I'll like you very much when you're mad, and I'm going to make you very mad tonight. Now leave me alone, I'm busy ;) x
Alex: Am I too clingy already? ;)
Before she could answer, her phone buzzed again,
Alex: Enjoy your Piper-Time, kid. Can't wait to see you later x
Piper smiled and put her phone by her bed. Too clingy? She couldn't imagine ever not wanting Alex to be clingy. The fact it was Piper that this woman was clinging to made her want to sing with happiness.
She'd tell her about her meet up with Larry tonight, it was definitely something they needed to talk about face to face, first though, she needed to get herself ready.
She looked at the clock, it was 2 hours until she'd be going to Alex's, plenty of time to do her research.
Pulling her laptop over to her, she sat back on the bed as she pulled up Google. Blushing slightly, she began to search through different methods of female orgasms. She read through multiple articles with titles like "How to please your woman" and "Are you satisfying her?", frowning over information on what to do with her tongue.
She didn't have a clue what she was doing, and she wanted to impress Alex tonight. She wanted to make her come as many times as Piper had the night before, she wanted to hear how she sounded when an orgasm took over her, and she was determined to make tonight all about her.
So Piper did what she does best; she studied it.
Just as she was tilting her head to make sense of a diagram of a vagina on her screen her mother blustered into her bedroom,
Piper shut her laptop instantly, the blush on her face becoming a deeper red as Carol started putting clothes in different drawers. She was too caught up in whatever problem Piper's aunt had been causing to notice Piper's reaction to her entrance, but turned to stare at her when she noticed Piper was sitting staring straight ahead on her bed with her laptop closed.
"Piper? What on earth are you doing?"
"Nothing mom just… Homework… Before I go to Polly's, I'm finished now though"
Piper tried to look her mom in the eye but she couldn't, and Carol pressed her,
"What homework?"
"Just.. Uhm… Biology. Anatomy and stuff"
Her mom nodded, not interested enough to keep questioning Piper, and left the room in a hurry.
Piper fanned herself with a magazine by her bed, Alex would be the death of her.
Alex laid across the couch, her feet resting on her mom's lap.
She was reading as Diane flicked crumbs of her food over at her, laughing when Alex tried to bat them away with her book.
"Is Piper coming over tonight?" She asked, smiling as she gave Alex a sly look,
Alex raised her book slowly, looking at her mom and pushing her glasses on the top of her head, she pursed her lips,
"Is that a trick question?" She asked slowly,
"No kid," her mom laughed, "I just want to make sure I just don't walk in on anything when I come home.. Again"
Alex smiled wider, shaking her head. Bringing her glasses and her book back down over her face to continue reading,
"Yeah, she's coming over"
Her mom laughed as she pushed Alex's legs off her to get up, ruffling her hair again as she walked past her,
"Have a good night Al, make good choices"
She put a cigarette in her mouth as she opened the door, waving as it closed behind her.
Alex sighed, her mom really was the greatest.
Piper smiled to herself as she walked to Alex's house, swinging her arms as she went. She couldn't believe how quickly she and Alex had fallen into a rhythm. She had a surprise in for Alex tonight, picking the sexiest underwear she owned; she was going to have Alex Vause begging for it.
Knocking as she got to the door, she smiled brightly when Alex answered, she wore nothing but a long t shirt, holding a book loosely in one hand,
"Hey babe," she smiled, "you gunna stand and stare or are you coming in?"
