When Piper woke up the next morning she carefully got out of Jeff's grip, put on her clothes from last night, put fresh clothes into a plastic bag, got her toothbrush and went out the door. She went to Carmella's room and knocked on the door. She answered it.
"Carmella, can I please use your shower?" "Mine doesn't have any hot water."
"Sure." "Come in." She went in.
"Thanks."
"Aren't those the same clothes you had on yesterday?"
"Yeah." "I fell asleep in them."
"You must've did something really fun last night."
"I hate a solo party with a bottle of champagne and I drank to much."
"I have aspirin if you're hungover."
"Thanks."
When Jeff woke up and saw Piper wasn't there he got dressed and left.
Piper came back about an hour and hesitantly opened the door.
"Jeff?" She said nervously. She knew he was there she was in for a weird tense talk. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized he wasn't. She started packing her bags for Cleveland.
Later that night she was sitting at her hotel room in Cleveland when she got a text message. It read.
Guitar lesson? – Jeff
No Jeff. No more guitar lessons. From now on unless it's work related I don't want to talk to or see you. What happened last night was a mistake. Take my number out of your phone. Don't text me anymore. – Piper
The next night Jeff was at the arena. He hadn't seen or heard from Piper all day. She didn't even ride with him to the arena. She was supposed to be going down to the ring with him for a match. She had about seconds to spare. She came rushing up to the curtain with her title over her shoulder.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
"I'm here aren't I?"
Jeff's music came on. He went out first and pointed to the curtain. Piper came out with a big smile on her face. They hugged and kissed. During Jeff's match Natalya came down and attacked Piper from behind. The distraction caused Jeff to lose.
Piper and Jeff were in the back. Piper was walking away from him.
"Piper." He said. "Piper stop."
"No."
The next day everyone had two days off. Piper was glad she got to go home and clear her head. She'd been home for a night. She hadn't told John about what happened with Jeff. She was sitting on her couch in sweatpants and a T-shirt. It was one of John's so it was huge on her. She had no make-up on and her hair was in a messy ponytail. She looked at the picture of her and John on the end table. She knew she had to tell him. She picked up her cell phone but there was a knock at her door, so she put it down and answered the door. She couldn't believe it when she saw Jeff.
"What are you doing here?" She asked frustrated. "Why aren't you in North Carolina?"
"We need to talk."
"Fine." "If I talk to you will you leave me alone?"
"Yeah."
"Come in." He went in. "Like I said Jeff, it was a mistake."
"No."
"Yes." "I love John." "John, got it?"
"I lo-
"No!" She shouted interrupting him. "No." "No you don't." "We've just been spending to much time together, so you think you feel something but you don't."
"Are we still talking about me?"
"Yes."
"I know you feel something to."
"It only happened because I was drunk?"
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"What about the night I hurt my knee?" "We were gonna kiss that night."
"No we weren't."
"Ok, what about that night we kissed?" "We were both sober." "I think you're scared." "You're scared because you love John but I know and so do you, that you have feelings for me."
"Jeff, what do you want from me?"
"Tell me."
"Tell you what?
"Tell me how you feel."
"Get out."
"Piper."
"Jeff I'm ser-mmmmm." She moaned as he kissed her. He kissed the side of her neck. "Stop." She moaned. She started to undo his belt and stopped. "No, what am I doing?" "Don't stop." He said as he kissed her. "I know you want this… He kissed her again. …just as much as I do." "Kiss me." She kissed him and pulled off his jeans. He took off her t-shirt and sweatpants leaving only her panties and picked her up like you a bride and started going up the stairs. "Where is your room?" He mumbled against her lips. "End of the hall." She said. They went into the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed. She got a condom out of the nightstand. He took his shirt off and got on the bed. They kissed. He slowly kissed and licked her down her body. She moaned. He took off her panties. She moaned loudly when she felt his hand slip inside her. He moved it slowly. "Do you have any idea what you do to me?" He said. He went faster."Ohhhh." She moaned. "I want you." He said. She felt him take his hand out and replace it with his tongue. "Ohhhh, ohhhh, Jeff." She moaned. "Yes, ohhhh." He went faster. "Oh my god, ohhhh, mmmm, ohhhh." She moaned giving in. He went back to up to her. She rolled him over and slid into him. "Piper." He groaned. "Oh Jeff." She moaned. He squeezed her breasts. She bent down and kissed him. He rolled her over on her stomach and put her on her knees. He entered her from behind and started to move. "Piper." He groaned. "Jeff, ohhhh." She moaned. He went faster. "Ohhh, my god, ohhh." She moaned. After a few more seconds he rolled her on her back and slipped inside her, moving fast. They kissed. "Oh god Piper." He groaned. "Yes, oh my god, Jeff, Jeff." She moaned. "I love it when you say my name like that." He said. "Ohhhh, god, oh Jeff, ohhhh." "Piper." He groaned giving in.
Afterwards they were laying there.
"Piper, I love you." He said. She just looked at him. "It's ok, you don't have to say it back." He kissed her.
It been an hour since Jeff fell asleep. Piper couldn't sleep. She was standing in front of the bathroom mirror in her robe. Looking back at her was a lost, scared, confused woman who had no idea what to do.
Flashback
Piper and John had just made love for the first time in her bed.
"Wow." "That was amazing." She said.
"Yes it was." He took his hand and lifted up her chin to look at him. "I love you Piper."
"I love you too John." They kissed. That was the first time they'd ever said that to each other.
The next morning Piper was standing in front of the bathroom mirror. John came in wearing only his boxers. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Good morning." He said smiling.
"Good morning." She said smiling back.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
End Of Flashback
Here she stood in front of that very same mirror. She still meant what she said that day. She loved John. She could see his shaving cream and razors and tooth brush. In the shower was his shampoo and body wash. He had his own dresser drawer in her dresser in the bedroom. They'd built a life together. She was so overwhelmed she broke down crying.
After she calmed down she went back to bed. She snuggled up to Jeff. He put his arms around her.
"I love you too Jeff." She thought. "What am I gonna do?"
