Piper walked as fast as she could in a pencil skirt and heels, she was nearly at the café where she was meeting Alex. Excitement flooded her, Piper had phoned in sick at work using a terrible poorly voice and lied her way out of going in, now adrenaline was coursing through her. Piper burst through the café door so loud every customer and worker turned to look at her as she entered. Piper paid no notice to any of them her gaze landed on Alex sitting in a booth by the window a huge smile on her face. Piper's whole body lit up as she looked at Alex, her heart raced and her mouth went dry as she walked towards the booth Alex had chosen for them.
"Nice entrance" Alex laughed.
"I feel so bad" Piper said taking off her coat as she sat down across from Alex.
Alex raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"In a good way kind of bad" Piper explained.
"I've never phoned in sick before and I'm lying about it too" Piper raised her hands and placed them on the sides of her face.
"I feel nervous and excited at the same time" She said giggling.
"You sound like a teenager playing truant" Alex laughed loving the mischievous glint in Piper's eyes.
"Have you ordered?" Piper asked moving her hands away from her face.
Piper smiled widely and gazed over Alex's face as Alex shook her head.
"I've missed you so much" Piper whispered, surprised by the words that came out of her mouth.
Alex eyes widened and her lips slightly parted in shock. Alex lifted her lips in a slow easy smile, she could see from Piper's expression that she hadn't meant to say the words with such emotion behind them.
"I've missed you too kid" Alex said as she leaned across the table and placed her mouth on Piper's.
The kiss was full of emotion, deep and longing sending goose bumps across Piper's skin. Piper pulled back from the kiss and stroked Alex's cheek gazing at her adoringly.
"Let's eat" Piper said clearing her throat from the emotion blocking it.
Alex nodded and handed Piper a menu from the table. They looked over the food options offered on the menu, they both ordered omelettes and coffee.
"So why have we rung in sick just to see me? Couldn't we meet after you finished work?" Alex asked curiously.
Piper took a sip of her hot coffee and placed it on the table. She looked across at Alex.
"We could but then I'd only get to see you for a couple of hours and I have plans with Larry and friends the rest of the week so I wouldn't get to see you. Plus I wanted to spend some real time with you, not just a few hours here and there or dinner than a quick fuck before I have to leave you" Alex grinned at Piper as she reached across the table to and pushed some of her hair behind her ear.
"I'm glad you rang in sick kid and I'm happy you want to spend time with me" she whispered huskily.
"What do have in mind for today?" Alex asked as their breakfast was placed in front of them.
"I'd not really thought about it" Piper admitted.
"I'd gotten as far as phoning work then meeting you. So anything you want babe" She said taking a bite of her breakfast.
"Well I know what I want" Alex purred wiggling her eyebrows at Piper.
Piper giggled and reached over to Alex to wipe away stray crumbs from her mouth with her thumb. Alex flicked out her tongue and licked Piper's thumb slowly, Piper gasped as she felt Alex's hot moist tongue touch her flesh.
"Oh I want that too baby" Piper groaned quietly as she drew her thumb away from Alex's mouth.
"But first maybe a walk in the park?" Piper asked.
Alex growled low in her throat.
"I hate walking" she said.
Piper chuckled and continued to eat her breakfast.
"Humour me" she said grinning across at a smirking Alex.
After they ate their breakfast and drank another cup of coffee they stepped out of the café onto the busy city street. Alex reached for Piper's hand as they walked towards the park, linking their fingers together tightly.
"Is this ok?" Alex asked Piper lifting their joined hands up to kiss Piper's knuckles.
"Yea its fine" Piper said smiling warmly back at Alex.
They strolled closely together sneaking glances and grinning at each other as they walked, as they entered the park Piper turned to look at Alex.
"We never did this" Alex frowned confused by Piper's words.
"Did what?" Alex asked.
"Walk in parks and hold hands. When we were together everything was so fast paced and exciting but we didn't do the small enjoyable things like this" Piper explained moving her body closer to Alex's.
Alex smiled sadly at Piper as she unlinked their hands; she put her arm around Piper's shoulders and brought Piper in to snuggle under her arm. Alex kissed Piper lightly on the temple; they walked for a few minutes like that Piper snuggled into Alex both of them forgetting the world around them. Piper smiled to herself enjoying the feeling of been close to Alex, it made her body feel alive. Piper snuck a glance at Alex from under her lashes; her heart rate sped up as she gazed over Alex's mouth.
"It is relaxing I guess" Alex murmured to no one in particular as she looked around the park.
Piper watched Alex's lips move and felt herself react to her thoughts of that mouth on certain parts of her body. Piper stopped abruptly in her tracks yanking Alex back as she did.
"What the…" Alex grunted turning to stare at Piper.
Piper placed her fingers over Alex's lips to stop her talking.
"I want you" Piper said lustfully.
Alex swallowed loudly as she saw Piper's eyes dancing with desire.
"We have…"
"I want you now" Piper interrupted Alex.
Piper took Alex by the hand and dragged her out of the park; by the time Piper had hailed a cab both women were out of breath. They climbed into the taxi both ultra-aware of the other next to them, Piper's skin tingled from the closeness of Alex, she wanted to climb onto Alex's lap and kiss her way along her jaw.
"Where too ladies?" the cabbie asked dragging Piper's gaze away from Alex to look at him.
Piper gave him her address and sat back in her seat she reached over and stroked her finger along Alex's covered forearm.
"That's your place" Alex said moving her arm from Piper's touch.
Piper nodded in agreement.
"Larry?" Alex asked.
"He'll be out all day. He's not due home till seven" Piper said.
Alex shook her head.
"No Piper" she leant forward and told the cab driver the name of the hotel they had used Saturday night.
Piper frowned at Alex when she leant back in her seat and looked at her.
"It's better this way" she said to Piper pulling her close and kissing her with an urgency that shook them both.
Piper leaned back from Alex's kiss and searched her face. Alex flared her nostrils and adjusted her glasses, she's jealous Piper thought. Piper moved forward and kissed Alex slowly.
"You're right baby" Alex raised her mouth into a small smile.
She knew Piper understood her reasoning for not wanting to go to Piper's place, the idea of been in a place where Piper was Larry's made Alex feel physically sick. Alex ran her fingers along Piper's hair she twirled the golden strands between her fingers; she brushed the locks over her lips playfully her eyes never leaving Piper's.
They didn't talk the rest of the drive to the hotel, they touched each other lightly, a caress on the cheek or a kiss placed gently on the other's skin.
When they reached the hotel Piper paid as Alex climbed out, they walked into the hotel reception holding hands. Piper didn't want to let go, she didn't want to lose the connection of Alex's warm flesh on her own. Piper stood behind Alex as she paid in cash for a room, she pressed her body into Alex's back and wrapped her arms around Alex to place her hands on her stomach. Piper could feel Alex start to breathe faster under her touch. When Alex was handed the key card to their room she grabbed Piper's hand and strode towards the elevator, the doors to the elevator were already open with a few people standing inside waiting to be taken to their floors. The two women entered and stood close together not quite touching but still close enough to feel the warmth from the other. Piper sneaked a peek at Alex, her heart jolted when her eyes made contact with Alex's. The raven haired beauty's blue eyes were full of need; Piper couldn't remember ever seeing such need in Alex before. It made her body melt and her heart thud steadily. As they reached their floor they stepped out of the elevator, Alex handed Piper the key card to open the door. They didn't talk or touch as Piper slid the key into the lock and opened the door; they looked at each other intensely like they hadn't seen each other in a long time.
They walked towards the bed together, still not touching or speaking, they faced each other standing beside the bed. Piper slowly slid her coat from her shoulders and down her arms, Alex watched raptly her nostrils flaring slightly, Piper threw her coat onto a nearby chair. Piper watched as Alex copied and removed her jacket to throw onto the chair. Piper took a step towards Alex bringing their bodies into contact, Alex swallowed loudly at the touch. Piper reached up to Alex's face and removed her glasses; she folded them together then reached behind Alex to place them onto the night stand. As Piper stood to face Alex again she smiled tenderly at her, she took Alex face in between her hands as she moved even closer into Alex their bodies melding together. Piper placed her lips softly onto Alex's and kissed her slowly and sensually. Alex slid her fingers into Piper's hair and held onto her, they kissed deeply and unhurriedly. A calm passion swirled around them, all urgency gone they were over took by a desire to move leisurely to explore the others body fully. They undressed each other slowly feathering light kisses over newly exposed skin. As they stood naked together by the bed Alex used her hands on Piper's hips to guide her down to lay on the bed, Alex settled herself on top of Piper's body gently, she caressed Piper drawing out quiet moans of pleasure as she did. Alex bent her head and took Piper's mouth with her own, their tongues met making them both groan with desire. Piper opened her legs for Alex to move and settle between them. Piper could feel a difference in their kisses before there had been a need to hurry and fuck to take each other as fast as they could, but now there was a different need their kisses were placed gently and with emotion their hands caressed with loving fingers. They were making love. Piper gently drew her mouth away from Alex's and scanned her face, she groaned when she saw Alex's eyes shining back at her with love. Piper brought her mouth back to Alex's and gave herself openly to the beautiful woman above her.
Hours later, both women fully satisfied their skin glowing from the after math of their love making, they lay intertwined on the now messy bed. Alex caressed strands of hair away from her sleepy lover's forehead.
"Mm" Piper moaned appreciatively as she opened her eyes.
Piper gazed at Alex and smiled lovingly at her.
"Why do always feel so inevitable to me" she whispered quietly.
Alex blinked in shock then smiled at Piper.
"I heart you" she whispered back.
Piper grinned widely and giggled.
"You heart me? Is that like I love you for pussys?" she teased.
Alex chuckled and pulled Piper closer to her body.
"Say pussy again" she teased back.
Piper grinned at Alex, Alex stretched and gently kissed Piper a small kiss portraying her feeling to the woman she was holding. Piper felt a fluttering in her chest as Alex's lips touched her own, when Alex lay back Piper looked at her tenderly.
"I heart you too" Alex beamed at the words and went to kiss Piper again when her phone started to ring.
Piper moaned and squeezed her eyes tightly shut.
"Do you have to get that?" She asked Alex.
Alex smiled apologetically as she climbed off the bed and reached for her jacket, she walked back to the bed with her ringing phone and lay next to Piper.
"It's Cass" she said.
Piper huffed as she turned to flop onto her stomach her head facing the opposite way to Alex and her phone, Alex laughed at Piper's reaction and kissed her shoulder as she answered her phone.
"Hey" Alex said.
Piper lifted her head slightly off of the pillow to try and listen to what Cassie was saying, when she realised she couldn't she banged her head back down and listened eagerly as Alex spoke.
"No not yet. I told you yesterday I was going to be busy today" Alex explained.
Piper felt Alex stroke her back and arched into the bed.
"I know Cass but we leave late, so tomorrow I'll get the few things we need then I'll pack my suitcase, it's not a big fucking deal relax" Piper tensed at Alex's words, Alex stopped caressing her back as she felt Piper's reaction.
Piper turned to look at Alex, her eyes swam with confusion. Alex looked guilty as Piper stared at her, Piper sat up crossed legged and frowned as she watched Alex talk.
"That's fine get whatever you think we'll need, Cass I gotta go" Piper could still hear Cassie talking as Alex hung up the phone.
"You're going away?" Piper asked.
Alex nodded and sat up too.
"When?"
"Tomorrow night" Alex said.
"Work" Piper stated.
"How long for?" Alex sighed and reached for her glasses, she placed them onto her face and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Not for work Pipes" Alex murmured, Piper's frown deepened.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
Alex reached for Piper's hand and held onto it.
"Me and Cassie are going on holiday together to erm celebrate my promotion" Alex watched as the colour drained from Piper's face.
"How long for?" Piper asked again.
"Two week"
"Oh" Piper sighed.
"Were you going to leave and not tell me?" Piper asked pulling her hand away from Alex's touch, Alex opened her mouth in protest to Piper moving away from her.
"No…"
"Were you going to send me a text as you boarded the plane?" Piper interrupted as Alex tried to speak.
Piper could feel her temper start to rise; she started to breathe more quickly.
"When were you going to fucking tell me Alex?" Piper shouted.
"I was going to tell you later… I … Piper it was Cassie's idea I couldn't say no!"
"Of course not" Piper said sarcastically climbing off of the bed.
"Two weeks from tomorrow?" she asked raking her fingers through her hair roughly.
Alex nodded and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Yes"
Piper chuckled sadly.
"You're not even going to be here for…" Piper stopped talking at looked at Alex, tears welling in her eyes.
Alex sucked in a deep breath and let it out loudly. Piper shook her head and headed into the en-suite, Alex heard Piper lock the door behind her.
"For your birthday" Alex whispered quietly finishing Piper's sentence.
Piper sat down on top of the toilet seat, tears flowing freely down her face. She felt a dull ache in her chest knowing Alex was going away with Cassie.
"She's not even mine" she sobbed into her hands covering her face.
Piper grabbed at the toilet roll hanging from an holder on the wall and rubbed at her nose. Countless thoughts ran through Piper's head, thoughts of Alex and Cassie of herself and Alex, their past and about the time they had recently spent together. Piper swallowed back a sob as her minded landed on the thought that meant the most, she hearts me. Piper smiled and hiccupped, she hearts me! She may not be mine anymore and so what if she isn't going to be here for my birthday, she hearts me and that's all that really matters she thought. Piper stood up from the toilet and walked back into the room to Alex. Piper stood in the threshold of the room and looked at Alex, Alex smiled lovingly at a red faced Piper her eyes were bloodshot and puffy and she was clutching onto a tattered snotty tissue but Alex's heart swelled at the sight.
"You heart me" Piper croaked.
Alex raised her eyebrows and nodded in agreement, she held out her arms towards Piper.
"Come here kid"
Piper moaned in the back of her throat as tears threatened again at Alex's invitation. Piper walked towards Alex and didn't resist when Alex pulled her on top of herself and laid back onto the bed, Piper cuddled close into Alex.
"It's ok" She whispered into Alex's neck.
Alex sighed and stroked Piper's hair as she kissed her forehead. Piper felt drained from the emotional few hours she had spent with Alex. Their love making and the after math taking its toll on her body, she felt exhausted. She closed her eyes and relaxed as Alex continued to stroke her hair, as she slipped into sleep she heard Alex whisper in her ear.
"I'll be back before you know it kid"
