In the morning after, Piper was the first to wake up. She was lying in her front facing away from Alex. She was confused to where she was until she felt an arm on her stomach. The blonde adjusted to the light coming from the medium size window, as her eyes blinked profusely. She lifted her head to looked at the clock in the bedside table that says 6:05 am. She slowly shifted, as she removed the arm that was sandwich between her and the bed carefully, placing it in the raven-haired woman's side. It was the first time she was seeing Alex's bedroom, so she took her precious time to observe.
Alex's room was roomy and cozy. The style was fusing new and old. The bedroom was a combination of white side walls and bricked cream head wall. It had an elegant rustic brown hardwood flooring and two large black cherry wardrobe cabinet. Alex had two abstract paintings hanging on the wall, and her bed was crafted from poplar solids with V-matched cherry veneers. Piper loved the combination of vintage and modern stylish chic design. The room smelled like Alex, making Piper feel warm and contented.
After she appreciates Alex's bedroom style, she looked back at her. She couldn't see her face clearly, as the raven-haired woman's head was in between two pillows. They were still both naked from the activities of the night before, only wrapped by Alex's bed sheets. Piper adjusted her pillow, so she could gaze into Alex's morning look. Alex was still sound asleep, as it made Piper think that her lover was worn out from their round after round exploration of each other. She was worried if Alex pushed herself too much, as they are both aware on how Alex's old injuries affected her physical strength. They managed to give each other three rounds of release. Their endurance on their intimate activity seemed to lessen, but it didn't bother Piper that much. Their union last night held more meaning than it ever did before. Piper gazed at her lover's form as a smiled slowly edges on her face. She brushed her fingers gently on Alex's cheek, as she place a gentle kiss on her tattooed arm. She was about to leave the bed and make their breakfast when the raven-haired woman shifted and her hands blindly reached for Piper. Alex pulled her closer and buried her nose into Piper's temple. Piper wrapped her arms on Alex's shoulder, as she felt their legs intertwined. She felt Alex's eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light around them.
"Good morning, babe." Piper said as she rubbed Alex's back soothingly.
"Hmmm..."
They stayed that way for awhile, as Piper let Alex adjust on waking up her senses. After a few minutes, Alex was more fully awake.
"How are you feeling?"
"Fine. You?"
"Tired but lively. You wake up my dying soul." Alex teased.
"Shut up! It's too early for your mushy lines." Piper said as she blushed.
Alex giggled as she looked at the blonde. Piper smiled at how lovely Alex looked. Her disheveled hair, barely opened eyes, and morning breath didn't bother Piper. She would love to see Alex like that every chance she gets. Alex looked back at her with adoration in her eyes.
"You're beautiful." Alex said.
"Really? With my hair everywhere and morning breath..."
"Yes, really."
Their lips enveloped each other's, as Piper couldn't help but giggle when Alex playfully licked her lower lip. They both chuckled on the action, as Alex remembered something.
"You marked me..."
"Shut it! I said no mushy lines on mornings."
"No, dumbass! I mean, you gave me a hickey."
"What? Where?"
"Here."
Alex lied down in her back and showed Piper the bullet scar above her heart. Piper saw the bruise, as she remembered how she put her mouth's attention to that distinctive scar.
"It's an accident."
Piper explained as Alex laughed on her.
"It's fine babe."
"I do not know you are shot."
"I was. Twice."
Alex showed Piper the other scar on the top side of her head. Piper's doe-eyed expression resurfaced, as sadness consumed her. She almost lost Alex, and those scars are the reminders. Alex felt her sadness so she gently kissed the arm that was still wrapped on her shoulder. It was the arm where the erased tattoo was. The one where Stella tattooed her. Piper flinched on the contact, in which Alex noticed.
"What's the story of the tattoo?" Alex said as she leaned in on her elbow, hovering above Piper.
"Alex..."
Alex knew that tone. It was the tone Piper used to let her know she didn't want to talk about it.
"Okay, okay. But you know, you should tell me eventually, right?"
Alex controlled her tone. She was frustrated on why Piper was evasive to tell the story of that scar, but she didn't want to raise her voice and ruin their morning.
"I know. Please, just give me time."
Alex dropped her gaze and exhaled, as Piper felt her frustration. She lied down on her back facing the ceiling, avoiding Piper's gaze.
"I wish I could just, blurt things out to you. I'm not trying to hide anything Alex...just please...just a little more time." Piper said as her voice shakes.
Her right hand found its way back on the bullet scar as she gently caressed it. She very well knew that it was only a matter of time until she lose Alex again. The raven-haired woman remained silent and kept her gaze away from the blonde. Piper felt like crying, as she slowly retracted her hand away from Alex's. Before she could, she felt Alex held and tugged her hand. They looked at each other, as Alex saw how sad Piper's eyes were. Alex wrapped her arm on Piper's shoulder, as the blonde moved on top of her. Their naked bodies collided, as Piper buried her face between the pillow and the side of Alex's neck. Her tears immediately fell, as Alex felt her neck started to get damp. She peppered Piper's shoulder with kisses, going up to her neck, and unto her temple. Her mouth rested on Piper's ears, as her hands rubbed soothingly on Piper's back. Piper held Alex's neck as she buried her face more onto her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get upset." Alex whispered into Piper's ears.
Piper remained silent. She felt so emotional after partly seeing Alex, get upset over the topic. Her fears escalated on what Alex's reaction would be when she found out.
"Babe...Pipes?"
Alex leans slightly away to check on Piper, as the blonde kept her eyes close. She didn't want to see if Alex was still upset.
"Open your eyes."
Piper hesitated for a moment before she complied. Alex's heart pained when she saw Piper's puffy eyes. Alex exhaled sadly, as she didn't like seeing Piper like that.
"I'm sorry."
She pecked Piper on the lips thrice, one after the other. They hugged each other tightly as Alex felt the need to let Piper knew how much she loves her. She kissed Piper fervently as the blonde responds. Alex shifted changing their position, as she hovered above Piper. Piper wanted to feel Alex all over again to be reminded of Alex's affection. Piper opened up to her once again, as Alex takes her. Their naked bodies melded once again, declaring their love, against all odds.
...
The day passed by, and Alex had forgotten about her little argument with Piper. She was thrilled as her day ends because Drew was finally talking to her again. The two friends agreed to have dinner together and have some drinks after. They decided to go on the bar they frequent together.
"I'm so glad you wanted to see me." Alex said.
Drew looked at her friend. Her amber eyes showed longing. She didn't mean to shut Alex out.
"I'm sorry, Lex. I didn't mean to be absent. It was just...hard at that time."
"It's fine. I understand."
They both looked at each other and smiled genuinely. Although her feelings towards Alex was not reciprocated, Drew was still thankful that she didn't lose the raven-haired woman. Drew was nursing her second bottle of beer as Alex was still on her first.
"So, what's up with you? Update me."
"Well, I met an old friend from prison."
"Really? You remembered?"
"No, but Piper said she was."
"Piper huh?"
"Drew..." Alex said in warning.
Drew raised her arms in surrender. She didn't want to ruin their reunion by saying things about Piper that would obviously make Alex upset.
"Plus, I remembered something about...being friends with Nicky."
"Okay. So this Nicky, what was she like?"
"Hmmm, I didn't talk to her that long but I got her number. She seemed okay. She actually reminds me of you...only untamed."
"Untamed?"
"There's an I don't give a fuck aura with her, but she seems nice."
"Sounds interesting then."
They talked about various different things until Alex gets unusually quiet. Drew got worried about her friend. Alex didn't usually get that quiet with her unless there was something bothering her.
"Are you okay, Lex?"
"Yeah."
Alex said as she smiled. She tried masking her worries, but she knew it was useless, especially with her auburn-haired woman friend.
"Alex."
"It's just...I'm worried about Piper."
"Piper? Why?"
"She seemed to...keep things to herself."
Alex tried to lighten things up. She didn't want to tell Drew that Piper was keeping something from her. She wasn't oblivious on her friend's biased opinion especially when it comes to the blonde.
Drew observed her friend. She knew something was up and Alex was safeguarding Piper's disposition so Drew's perspective about the blonde wouldn't worsen.
"Alex, please be careful. I care about you. If something isn't right...go with your guts. You deserve the truth...okay?"
"What makes you say that?"
Alex was puzzled. She didn't remember saying something to Drew, but her friend just smiled at her. Drew decided she wasn't going to say anything and let Alex handle it herself.
"Nothing...but if you need me, you know where to find me, okay?"
Alex smiled at her friend, fondly.
"Okay...thank you for being here."
"Always. I'm always behind you."
They shared a warm smiled as they continued to banter.
"Yeah. You're my ass."
"Well, you're my booger. You're always on my nose."
They laughed at each other with pure happiness, as they obviously missed the company of each other. It was almost 11 pm when they decided to leave. Alex decided to drop Drew in her apartment since her friend was slightly drunk. She was about to drive away and go home when her phone chimed. She saw Piper's name on the ID, as she couldn't help but smile. She missed the blonde, as they usually hang out together after work. Last she saw her was when they had breakfast together after their little argument that somewhat made Piper, a mess.
"Hey, babe." Alex said warmly.
"Hey. Are you home now? How's your date?" Piper teased.
"Hmmm...not a date...and not home yet. I dropped Drew first, she's a little drunk."
Piper was immediately worried. Alex hadn't seemed to be well rested as of last night. Exhausted, drunk, and driving wasn't a good combination.
"Al, how much did you drink?"
"Ugh, 3 bottles I guess."
"You guess? And you're driving?"
"Babe, I'm not drunk. I can drive."
Piper's anxiety heightens. Alex doesn't drink so much anymore. Three bottles wasn't normal for her.
"Drew allowed you to drink that much?"
"Eh, she's not in the capacity to object...she was out."
"Al, don't drive. Just leave your car there and get it in the morning. Just take a cab."
"Pipes, I'm fine. I just want to go home and rest immediately. I don't want to wait for a cab. I'll be fine."
Piper felt her heart thumps rapidly. She was right, Alex was tired, and with alcohol in her system.
"No. Alex, listen to me...It's too dangerous to drive on your state."
"I'm fine." Alex whined.
"Al...babe, where are you?"
Alex gave Drew's address, as she heard the raven-haired woman yawn and wanted to end the call so she could go home.
"Don't drive okay. I'm coming to get you."
"What? Why? Pipes..."
"Stay put, Alex Vause!" Piper said in a firm tone.
"Okay, Ms. Chapman...yes ma'am." Alex said as she chuckled.
Piper exhaled as she immediately change her bedroom clothes and catch a cab. Piper didn't take her car as she decided to use Alex's car and just drive them back to her apartment. She arrived at the scene to see the raven-haired woman leaning at her side window, lightly sleeping. She tapped the glass firmly waking up her girlfriend. Alex rolled down the window, as Piper opened the driver seat.
"Hey." Alex said as she kissed her.
Piper could taste the alcohol from Alex's lips.
"Move over. I'll drive." Piper said firmly.
Piper took the driver seat and rolled back up the window. Alex observed her as she was surprised by Piper's tone. Alex figured that Piper was pissed as the blonde barely looked at her and was silent when she starts to drive. Alex rubbed Piper's arm soothingly.
"Why are you mad?"
"I'm not." Piper's tone raised.
"You are."
They were both silent as Alex exhaled defeatedly. Piper couldn't help but give in to the raven-haired woman, and answer her.
"I'm just...I'm worried Alex. You're drunk and driving."
"I'm not drunk...just tired." Alex reasoned as she took her glasses off, folded them and hung it in front of her shirt.
"Much worse."
Piper glared at her as Alex apologetically frown.
"I'm sorry." Alex said as she rubbed Piper's arm up to her shoulder.
"I'm upset. I don't want you doing this again. You can get into an accident."
"I know. Okay, I'm sorry, babe." Alex said softly.
She leaned in at Piper's side and rest her nose in her shoulder as she smelled her. She continued rubbing soothing circles on Piper's arm, as the blonde's irritation dissolved. Piper couldn't stay mad at her girlfriend especially if Alex was being this sweet.
"Okay." Piper said.
"Okay?" Alex asked.
She angled her head to where her mouth was elevated for Piper to kiss. Piper smiled at her adorable girlfriend. Alex wasn't like that before. Her affection was always reserved and she never really laid everything down in the open. She looked at Alex and kissed her.
"Yeah, okay."
They continued driving towards Piper's apartment as Alex remained that way throughout their drive.
...
They arrived at Piper's apartment, roughly around midnight. The blonde woke up the raven-haired woman, as Alex fell asleep during the car ride.
"Al, we're here."
"We're on your apartment." Alex stated.
"Yeah. I figured it's better you'll sleep with me tonight."
"Oh, yeah. It's better." Alex said playfully as she wiggled her eyebrows.
"Shut up! We're sleeping...and besides, on your state, you can barely stay up."
"I'm fine." Alex whines. "Where are my glasses?" She looked around to find it with no success. She patted on herself until she touched the front of her shirt, as her folded glasses were hanging there.
"Oh, yeah."
She knew Piper was observing her, so she casually looked at the blonde, as a smile slowly edges on her face.
"Oh, yeah. You're fine." Piper said mocking.
Alex gave her a sheepish smile, as they both exited the vehicle and walked towards Piper's apartment.
They reached Piper's apartment shortly. Alex wanted to take a brief shower, so Piper gave her a towel and laid some clothes on the bed for her to wear after.
Piper's room was quite big just like Alex's. Her bedroom was a mix of style and comfort. The walls are colored sage green. She had a watercolor painting of abstract roses, hanging on the wall. Piper had a small bookshelf and a couch near her window. Her cabinets and side tables are rustic birch wood while the bedroom flooring was oak butterscotch. She also had a sliding door that leads to a small balcony.
When the raven-haired woman finished her shower, she observed Piper's room and found it comforting. She imagined herself spending a lot of time on that balcony.
Alex dried her hair and lied down naked on the bed, having only Piper's bed sheets to cover her. Piper went back to the bedroom and found her in that position.
"Al?"
"Hmmm."
"I think you should wear some clothes."
"Why?"
"Why?"
Alex looked at her sleepy. She waited for Piper to come up with a reason.
"Because...you're tempting me." Piper answered as Alex chuckled on her.
"Don't you want it?"
"Oh, no! I want it...so much, but you're eyes are shutting down. I can see it."
The blonde approach Alex as she gave the clothes she chose for her.
"But this is comfier." Alex whined.
"Babe, c'mon just put this on. I'll just check the lights and the door, and then we can sleep."
Piper gave her a t-shirt and an unused undies to wear and exited the bedroom to check on the lights, windows, and doors. When she came back she saw Alex drift off to sleep with only one arm inside the sleeve of the shirt and the other one still hanging. Piper grinned at her adorable wasted girlfriend and assisted Alex with her shirt. Piper carefully lifted her other arm and fixed her shirt. The shirt was too short for Alex, as it showed some skin in her stomach. The panty Piper lend her was small too, but it will do, just to cover her before the blonde loses control over herself. Piper dismissed the heat that flowed through her, as she observed her sexy girlfriend. She knew it was impossible to engage in adult wrestling with her lover tonight, as Alex was out and tired. Piper left the raven-haired woman for awhile, as she went to the bathroom and did her nightly routine. She showered, brush her teeth, and put on her bed clothes, as she closed the bathroom and came back to her bedroom. Alex was on the same position facing on her left side, away from Piper. The blonde sat down slowly on the bed, not to disturbed the peaceful state of her girlfriend. She leaned on the headboard, took the book on her nightstand and switch on the lamp on her side. She decided to read for a while, as sleep haven't found her yet. Half an hour later, she felt Alex stirred and stretched. Piper rubbed her back soothingly, cooing her back to sleep. Alex rubbed her eyes lazily, as she opened them and was a little disoriented for a few seconds. She remembered where she was when she felt Piper's hand on her back, so she turned to face the blonde. She moved closer to Piper, as she buried her face on the side of the blonde's hips and her arms wrapped on her waist. Piper continued rubbing her back with one hand, as she read and held her book with the other.
"Sleep. Babe..." Alex mumbled.
The raven-haired woman's hand traveled inside Piper's t-shirt and rubbed her stomach soothingly. Alex kissed Piper's flank as the blonde couldn't help but smiled. Piper still wanted to read as she wasn't sleepy yet, but Alex's eyes were pleadingly staring into hers. Piper closed her book and placed it on her nightstand. She turned her lights off, as she shifted her position and leaned on her elbows. She hovered above her girlfriend, as she observed her for awhile. Alex gazed at her blue orbs as she tenderly grinned. Piper softly placed kisses on Alex's forehead, nose, cheeks and finally on her lips.
"I love you, Al."
Alex grinned wider, as her tired eyes showed happiness that made Piper melt with equal joy.
"Love you too, Pipes."
Alex kissed her briefly. Piper finally lies down as she let Alex's body blends into hers. Alex hugged Piper tightly and rested her head on Piper's chest, as she fell asleep again. Piper remained awake resting her lips on Alex's forehead as her arms wrapped on her shoulders. Her one hand found Alex's nape, as her thumb stroked on it soothingly. She felt Alex breath deeply, signaling she was fast asleep. Piper focused on Alex's heartbeat, as she slowly fell into deep slumber holding Alex tightly against her, not letting go.
...
The next morning, Alex woke up around 8 am, feeling like her head was being smashed. She had the worse hangover before but since her attack, Alex had periodic headaches caused by stress, fatigue, and tension. When they attack, the one-sided throbbing pain usually leaves her on the bed for hours, nauseous, and sensitive to light and noise.
Alex buried her face more into the pillow, avoiding the light and pressed her left hand on the side of her head. Piper found her on that position. The blonde woke up earlier than Alex and prepared their breakfast. Piper approached the raven-haired woman worriedly as Alex exhaled in pain.
"Alex? Al, what's wrong?"
Alex didn't answer as her hand pushed more towards her head. Piper seated beside her and held her hand.
"Al?"
"My head. Can you put the curtains down, please? The light is too much."
"Okay, sure."
Piper did what she was told as panic slowly sweeps through her. It was the first time she saw Alex like that. She had migraines before, but the raven-haired woman didn't look as sick as she did at the moment. Piper seated beside the raven-haired woman and rubbed her head softly.
"Al, talk to me."
Alex shifted and faced the blonde. She opened her eyes slowly blocking as much light as she could.
"My head hurts. I just want to rest." Alex said as she closed her eyes again.
"Okay. Just rest in here. I'll get some water."
Piper placed a kiss on Alex's head. She stood up and closed all her bedroom curtains tightly, not letting any light from the room. She leaves the bedroom as she worriedly thought of what to do. She decided to call Drew and asked her on what she should do. She dialed the auburn-haired woman's number as Drew answered by the third ring.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Drew? I'm sorry to wake you."
"It's fine. I'm preparing for work early. What is it?"
"It's about, Alex."
"Alex? What happened?"
Drew was immediately worried. She and Piper only talked about the raven-haired woman if it's serious. They weren't friends to go and call each other and waste hours of their day talking to each other. The only time they will talk was when a certain woman with secretary glasses was involved.
"She is having painful headaches this morning. She can't even leave the bed."
"Shit! How much did she had last night?"
"Aren't you supposed to know that? You're the one who was with her." Piper fumes.
She didn't mean to call on Drew, but her anxiety over Alex was getting into her.
"Look, I'm sorry okay? I was wasted last night and I couldn't remember much of it. I am not Alex's babysitter, okay? I am allowed to loosen up with my best friend sometimes."
"Okay. I'm worried, sorry. What should I do?"
"It's probably tension migraines because she's exhausted and by the alcohol she consumed last night. Let her rest, it usually fades in the afternoon. Give her ibuprofen or naproxen but make sure she eats first. She likes chicken soup when she's this sick. Give her enough rest and lessen the noise."
"Okay, okay thanks."
"I will call her store and let her manager handle it for a day."
"Yeah, thank you for that."
"If it gets worse, bring her on the hospital, okay?"
"Yeah. I will."
"Piper...please make sure she'll be okay."
Piper stayed silent for a few seconds. She felt genuine concern from Drew but at the same time there was an underlying hurt in her tone, knowing someone else was already taking care of Alex.
"I will, don't worry. Thanks for your help."
"Sure. Update me if something happens."
"Alright, thanks."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Piper quickly prepared a chicken soup, just like what Drew had said. Once she was done, she put it on a tray with a glass of water and medicine for Alex. She brought it in the bedroom and saw Alex, buried with pillows. She placed the tray on the bedside table as she sat again beside the raven-haired woman.
"Al? Baby, are you up?" Piper said softly.
She took the pillows off as it slowly revealed a distressed Alex.
"Al, sit up for a minute. Eat the soup, so you can drink medicine after."
Alex whined but complied as Piper helped her lean on the headboard. Piper took the soup and spoon as she started feeding the raven-haired woman.
"Let me."
"It's fine. Just open your mouth." Piper said as she refused to give the soup to Alex.
"I can eat by myself."
"I'm not saying you can't, so stop fighting me on this and just eat. Now open your mouth."
Alex squinted in pain before she gave Piper a tiny smile. She complied with the blonde and started eating. Alex was used on taking care of herself, so adjusting in having Piper around took some time. Piper made sure she finished the soup and gave her the medicine after.
"Do you want to sleep?"
"Yes...my store?"
"Don't sweat. I called Drew, and she said she'll call your manager to handle the store for the day."
"You called Drew?"
"Yeah. I'm worried. She said to give you the soup and let you rest."
Alex smiled at the gesture. She leaned in Piper's shoulder slowly as she closed her eyes.
"Thank you, Pipes."
"Shut it! It's my duty...and I love it."
She looked at Alex worriedly as Alex looked at her with weary eyes.
"Please, be okay. I don't like seeing you like this." Piper said as her fingers brushed on Alex's cheek.
"Let me just sleep for a while. I'll be fine."
Alex said as she kissed Piper's cheek. Piper assisted her on lying down again at the bed, as Alex immediately fell into a deep slumber. Piper observed her girlfriend. She rested her lips on Alex's head as she rubbed her shoulders lovingly. She didn't like seeing Alex sick. She mumbled words of love to her before slowly getting out of bed and left the raven-haired woman there to rest. She went to the living room and seated at the couch while she dialed Jackie's number. Piper decided to take a day off and take care of Alex.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Jackie."
"Hey, Pipes. What's up?"
"Listen, ugh I'm not coming in today. Alex is sick and I don't want to leave her like this."
"Sure. What happened?"
"She's in pain. Her head is hurting. I'm still observing her."
"Oh. Sure, I'll take care of the store. Don't worry."
"Thanks, Jackie."
"No problem. I hope she gets better."
"I hope, too. Call me if you need anything, okay?"
"Okay."
"Bye. Thanks, jack."
"No worries. Bye."
Piper continued getting busy in her apartment. She decided to eat some of food that she cooked for their breakfast and set some aside for Alex later. She cleaned her apartment quietly, trying not to make a lot of noise so that she won't disturbed her girlfriend that was sleeping in the bedroom. She called Jackie again and reminded her of some books to be delivered that day. After doing all of those, she decided to check on Alex again. She slowly entered the bedroom and seated beside the raven-haired woman who was still out. Piper took her book from her nightstand and read as Alex slept soundly beside her. An hour later, she felt the bed shifted and saw Alex slowly waking up. Alex turned and saw Piper as the blonde immediately placed her book back to the bedside table.
"How are you feeling, Al?"
Alex blinked slowly as she assessed herself.
"Fine now...headaches gone."
Piper felt relieved as she slowly leans in and kissed the raven-haired woman in the forehead as Alex closed her eyes. Piper released her and looked at Alex seriously.
"I don't like you drinking too much again. It's not good for you...and rest more."
"Yes, Ms. Chapman."
Alex said as she smiled at the concerned that Piper showed.
"I'm sorry if I scared you."
Piper exhaled and just nod.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yeah."
"C'mon. I made an omelet and waffles for breakfast but since it's close to 1 now, I'll just cook for lunch. What do you want?"
"No. Omelet and waffles are fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, c'mon."
"Can I take a bath, after?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll prepare it for you."
Piper prepared Alex's lunch and asked the raven-haired woman to start eating while she prepared her bath. After Alex finished eating, she took the plates and put it on the sink. She was about to wash it when Piper walked in.
"Leave it."
"I can wash it. No big deal."
"Al, just leave it there. I'll wash it later."
"It's fine. I'll just..."
"Alex."
Piper called her name firmly, as Alex looked back at her. She saw Piper standing with her hands crossed.
"Leave it. Your bath is ready."
"I just want to help."
Piper exhaled as she walked towards her girlfriend. She placed her hands on Alex's shoulder and rubbed it comfortingly.
"I know and I appreciate it babe, but please, just let me take care of you. Even just for a day."
They stared at each other tenderly as Alex closed the gap between them and briefly kissed her girlfriend.
"Okay. Fine."
"Thank you...now go. Your bath is getting cold."
Piper released Alex as the raven-haired woman went to the bathroom. She took her clothes off and slowly seated inside the tub. She moaned in delight as the warm water touch her skin. She relaxed on the smell of jasmine and cedarwood shower gels that Piper puts in the water. She heard a knock on the door before Piper came in.
"Are you good?"
"Yeah. This is nice." Alex said as she turned to look at the blonde.
"Okay, good. I'll be outside if you need me."
"Bathe with me, babe."
Piper contemplated for a moment before she heard Alex plead again. She decided to join her lover, as she stripped her clothes. Alex gave space in her front, but Piper wanted to be at her back.
"Let me hold you."
Alex gave in and scoots in front as Piper deposited herself at her back. Alex felt Piper's nipples rubbed on her back as she couldn't help but shiver slightly on the contact. They were comfortably silent for a while when she remembered that they had plans on having dinner with Cal and Neri later.
"We'll have dinner with your brother later, right?"
"Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about that. I'll just call Cal later to reschedule."
"What? Why?" Alex asked as her head turned to looked at Piper.
"Babe, you're not feeling well."
"I'm fine now." Alex whined.
"Well, I'd rather have you rest than exhaust yourself."
"Piper, I'm okay now. It was just a headache."
"Alex." Piper scolded.
Alex looked at her as she irritatedly groan and scooted forward leaving a space between them. Piper couldn't help but smile as Alex was acting like a whiny child. She grabbed Alex's waist and gently pulled her closer again. Piper's left hand brushed on Alex's thigh as the other brushed her hair on the side.
"What's wrong?"
Alex remained silent as her brows furrowed. Piper peppered her with kisses on the shoulder as she waited for Alex to speak. Alex exhaled on the contact as she looked at the blonde again.
"I want to have dinner with your brother and her wife. I am fine now. I'm feeling better."
Piper exhaled resignedly, giving in to her adorable girlfriend.
"Okay, fine...but no alcohol for you, and we aren't staying that late so you can rest."
"Okay. Whatever you want."
Alex smiled as Piper kissed her. Their kiss immediately became heated as their bodies brushed against each other. Piper broke the kiss as Alex lean back against the blonde. She rested the back of her head on Piper's shoulder as the blonde's hand traveled on her body. Piper's right hand traveled on Alex's breast caressing them as her left journeyed to her opening and brushed her folds. Alex kissed Piper's neck as her breathing started to get labored. Piper retreated right away, remembering that Alex needed to rest. She looked at the raven-haired haired woman shooting daggers on her.
"You're so cruel."
Piper laughed at the flushed woman in front of her.
"Well, that's your fault. If you didn't drink too much and get sick today, we could've had intense sex right now."
Alex exhaled defeated as Piper laughed at her. They remained wrapped around each other for quite some time talking about any topic, as they cherished having time alone with each other.
Hey, guys! Sorry, it's all Alex and Piper. I just need to get this out, because I'm afraid I won't be able to if another week passes. Sorry for the delay, my week was crazy. I want to apologize for any grammatical errors in this story. I didn't have much time to proofread it. If anyone is willing to help me with this, I'll appreciate.
Hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you think on this chapter guys...hit me a review!
