A/N: Not sure if anyone is still invested in this story but I'm still planning to get through it. I'm not super happy with how I wrote this suggestion, but I couldn't bring myself to make any major drama between Piper and Alex. Let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy it for what it is.
A few days later Piper decided to stop by the pool and take Alex some lunch. As good as the club's food was, she knew her girlfriend was growing tired of eating there so frequently. She arrived to see Alex sitting in her usual place on the stand, watching over the water. As she closed in on her, she glanced down at her for a moment.
"Hey. What are you doing here?" Alex smiled at her.
"I brought you your favorite from the sandwich shop. I know you have lunch in a little while so I wanted to stop by really quickly before I head to Polly's." She extended her arm up to hand her the bag of food.
"Oh, thank you babe! That's so nice of you." She looked ahead.
"No problem. Couldn't resist seeing you for a minute." Piper heard a large splash, presumably from a kid jumping into the pool.
"You're so cute-" Alex trailed off.
All of the sudden, she was down from the stand and jumping into the deep end. She scooped up a young boy and cradled him in her arms. Even in her slightly panicked state, the blonde couldn't help but notice the way Alex's muscles rippled as she lifted the young child up and out of the pool. Water droplets cascaded down her gorgeous body as she exited the body of water. The brunette had told her about a few of her minor saves this summer, but she had yet to see one in action before today. Piper watched adoringly as Alex checked in with the boy: "You alright, buddy?". She had stayed so calm and collected, making sure the child wouldn't panic. Suddenly a curvy, tan blonde in a string bikini was running up to Alex and the young boy.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry. I took my eyes off of him for one second and he must've jumped straight into the deep end! He hasn't quite learned to swim yet."
"It's all good. That's what I'm here for." Alex smiled at the girl, reassuring her.
"Jeremy, I can't believe you! Mom and dad told me to watch you closely. What if something had happened?!" She addressed the young boy. Piper couldn't help but notice that the presumed older sister was attractive. Her chest was large and bounced slightly as she admonished the boy. Clearly she hadn't been watching him that closely.
"Hey, hey. We're all good here, right?" Alex tried to cool the girl down. "I caught him before he even went completely under. It's all cool." Piper smiled at her phrasing before she noticed that the brunettes gaze had fallen to the other girls chest. Her smile fell immediately.
"Right of course. Thank you so much. I'd love to pay you back sometime. Maybe we could get some dinner together…?" She bit her lower lip, taking in the brunette's form.
"Uh, actually I'm taken." Alex replied apologetically. "But, I appreciate the offer. Just promise me you'll keep a closer eye on the kid though, eh? And you..." She crouched down to be eye level with the boy. Piper noticed the older sister staring at Alex's chest from this angle and began to get a bit frustrated. She was very aware of the implications of her girlfriend's work uniform, but seeing her being blatantly ogled and flirted with made her feel a bit uneasy. This wasn't some lanky teenage boy, it was a well-developed young woman. Someone who Alex was much more likely to be attracted to. "..stay out of the deep end until you get a little stronger at swimming. Ok, bud?" He nodded, still a bit shaken up. Piper watched her girlfriend stand up and make her way back toward the stand. She quickly averted her gaze, not wanting Alex to read the insecurity in her facial expression. She pulled her shades down before looking back up at her.
"Nice save." She muttered. "I think I'm going to head out, ok? Enjoy your lunch."
"Oh, alright. Thank you for bringing it. I'll see you later tonight...?"
"Yeah sure." Piper muttered before turning and headed off toward her home. She had never cared about someone quite as deeply as Alex. Because of this, she wasn't really sure how to process her current emotions.
The blonde made her way to her best friend's house, feeling a bit dazed. Thus far, things between her and Alex had been pretty easy going. They had never really fought over anything. She didn't want to confront the brunette, but she couldn't help the feelings of jealousy and insecurity that were rising within her.
"Hey Pipe! It's good to see you." Polly had on a huge smile as she opened the door.
"Hey. Yeah, you too. I brought lunch." She lifted the paper bag in her hands, displaying the sandwich shops logo.
"Ugh, I love you. I'm starving." Her friend dragged her into her home and they made their way out to the backyard to enjoy their meal under the warm sun. Piper remained relatively silent as Polly caught her up on everything going on in her life as of late. After a few minutes of rambling she paused, causing Piper to look up. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah yeah. I'm good….sorry. Just a bit lost in thought I guess. Keep going." She smiled unconvincingly.
"Seriously what's wrong?"
"Ugh, nothing. It's stupid. This girl at the pool was totally flirting with Alex today after she saved her little brother. She was this skinny little blonde with huge tits. She totally checked Alex out and I saw Alex staring at her chest."
"Really? I'm sorry, Piper. But you know how much Alex likes you. There's no way she was into that chick."
"Yeah, I know. Ugh. I just hate that I'm so insecure about it. I mean I watched Alex turn her down. But I also saw her looking at her body. And what if I hadn't been there?! Would she have flirted back? Maybe Alex wants to be with someone else...someone better-"
"There is no one better for her than you!" Polly cut her off. "You're incredible and Alex knows that. And sure, maybe she looked at the girls boobs for a second….are you telling me you never notice that other people are attractive just because you're with Alex?"
"No….I guess not. I think it just bothered me because. Well because Alex has this like perfect, sexy, curvy body and so did the other girl today. And then there's me…"
"Your body is great. I'd kill to look like you with those long runner's legs and toned stomach. Plus I see the way Alex checks out your boobs and your ass." She chuckled.
"Seriously?" Piper questioned.
"Yes. She practically drools over your body, you're just so used to it that you don't even notice it. You have nothing to worry about."
"Ok. Thanks Pol." She let out a big sigh. "I think we're going to hang out later so maybe I'll talk to her about it then.
"You should. I'm sure she didn't mean to make you feel insecure. Just let her know how you feel and I'm sure she'll say all the right things."
"Yeah. She's pretty good at that." She smiled.
Later that night Piper headed over to her girlfriends house and they ordered pizza. The two of them were relaxing on the couch watching a movie when the blonde decided to speak up. Alex had sensed the slight change in Piper's energy but she wasn't sure if it was something she wanted to get into. She decided to let the blonde take the lead, trusting that she'd bring it up if it had to do with her.
"Can I ask you something?" Piper spoke up quietly.
"Of course." The brunette's hand stroked her thigh.
"Do you-" She paused feeling a bit awkward. "Do you ever wish that I had bigger boobs?"
"What?" She chuckled. "Where is this coming from?"
"I saw you today at the pool. You totally looked at that girl's cleavage."
"What girl?" She questioned. Piper knew that Alex was genuinely inquiring, but this only made her think about all of the other opportunities she probably had to look at attractive girls every day. She shuddered a but at the thought.
"The older sister of the little boy you saved." Piper rolled her eyes, placing her hands in front of her as if to demonstrate the magnitude of her breasts.
"Oh." She recalled with a nod. "I mean, I may have glanced." She shrugged. "You have to admit it was pretty hard to not notice her chest." Piper nodded lightly in agreement. "Doesn't mean I was attracted to her."
"I guess. It just kind of made me feel insecure. I never really thought about it, but your body is so gorgeous and curvy. And my body is so...not."
"That's not true, babe. We have different body types, sure, but it doesn't mean that one is better than the other. I love your body just as it is. I'm sorry if I've ever made you feel different." She stared into her eyes, attempting to convey just how sincere she was.
"You called me cute." Piper looked down at her lap.
"What?"
"Today at the pool you said 'You're so cute '." She glanced back up and gestured at her body with her hands.
"Because you are cute!" She exclaimed. "You're also unbelievably gorgeous and fucking sexy as hell but I didn't think it'd be super appropriate to get into that in a public setting." She teased with a wink.
"Ok, ok. I get it." Piper giggled. "I'm sorry I think I just got a little bit jealous and didn't really know how to handle it. I've never cared about someone the way that I care about you."
"Neither have I." The brunette. leaned in to place a soft kiss on her lips. Polly had been right, Alex always knew the right thing to say.
A/N: I wanted to give you guys the option if you'd like the next chapter to be of Alex appreciating Piper's body a little bit more or if you'd like me to just keep the story moving. I want this story to be balanced in terms of narrative and sexiness so I couldn't quite decide. I'll leave it up to you guys! To smut, or not to smut: that is the question. (I'm sorry lol) -K
