CHAPTER 13 – That Night

After tossing and turning all night, Piper eventually fell into a deep sleep at around 7am. Unsurprisingly, she dreamt about Alex. She dreamt that they were on a beach together, walking hand in hand and embracing each other at every opportunity. She woke up with a smile on her face. A smile which lasted a whole two seconds and was quickly wiped clear when she realised the exact situation she was in – and it wasn't the one she dreamt of.

It was 1pm and she checked her phone once more, praying that Alex had tried to contact her. Piper prayed that she had given her another chance and things were ok between them. She felt like she'd been hit with a bullet through the heart when she saw the blank screen.

She pulled the covers over her head as the tears started to fall. She fell back asleep and back to her dreams of Alex. She hoped they'd soon be her reality again.

She awoke again at 4pm with a knock at the bedroom door.

'Maybe that's Alex.' Piper thought to herself as she sat up in bed, wiped her eyes and tried to make herself look semi-presentable.

She hoped Alex had come over to say she'd forgiven her. She'd give anything in the world for Alex to be standing at the other side of that door right now.

"Come in." Piper shouted as her heart rate increased.

Her heart sank once again as Polly walked through the door – Alex nowhere in sight. She struggled to keep her feelings to herself and a loud sigh escaped her mouth when her best friend entered the bedroom.

"Wow. I don't think anyone has ever looked so disappointed to see me." Polly said as she sat at the bottom of the bed and looked up at Piper.

Piper struggled to even smile.

"So, are you gonna tell my why you're still in bed at 4pm in the afternoon?" Polly quizzed Piper.

Piper told her friend everything. She told her that she was sure she'd fucked everything up with Alex. She was convinced that Alex would walk away and Piper would never see her again. Polly just listened. She nodded along when Piper needed reasurement and wiped away the tears when they inevitably fell from Piper's eyes.

"Ok, Pipes, let's get you out of bed." Polly said as she quickly whipped the duvet off, leaving Piper shivering as her body met the cold air.

"No. Polly, I really don't feel…" Piper tried to clasp the duvet back from Polly's clutches.

"Come on. Let's get ready and we'll go out and have some fun. We can drink vodka until you forget all about Alex… for a couple of hours at least."

Piper rejected Polly a few more times before giving in and dragging herself to the shower. She threw on a pair of ripped navy skinny jeans, heels and a tight black tee. Going out was the last thing she wanted to do. Having to interact with people and actually put energy into doing something was Piper's worst nightmare in that moment. She still felt like it was the better option, however. She couldn't spend another night wallowing in self pity and torturing herself over Alex without going crazy. Polly was right, laying in bed all day was going to make her feel 10 times worse. Alcohol would definitely help. She was sure of that.

"I promise we don't have to stay out long if you don't want to…" Polly said as she made her way to the front door.

Piper followed, her eyes still glued to her phone screen praying for some contact from Alex.

"If it gets me out of my head for a while, we can stay out all night."

Polly didn't answer. Instead she swung the front door open and Piper heard a loud gasp escape her mouth. She barely had the energy to look up from her phone but she would be eternally grateful that she did.

"Alex?!" she said a little too loudly, sure she was imagining things.

"I'll give you two a minute." Polly stepped aside and smiled at Piper as she made her way back in to the apartment.

Piper watched as Alex continued up the last two steps, flowers in hand and the smile Piper missed so dearly on her face. Her jaw was still on the floor and her heart rate increased as she watched Alex. The butterflies she knew so well were back in her stomach and she felt the same wave of emotion that she experienced the first time she ever saw the brunette.

"Hey kid." Alex said as she reached Piper and leaned against the arch of the doorway.

Alex looked incredible and Piper felt her eyes fill with tears as she looked at her. Maybe she hadn't messed everything up. Was Alex really going to give her another chance?

"Don't… Don't cry…" Alex said as she pulled Piper into a warm embrace.

Piper sank into Alex's arms and was overcome with emotion. She was back where she belonged in her lover's arms and she prayed she'd never have to leave again.

"Does this mean you forgive me?" Piper whispered into Alex's ear as the brunette held her close.

Alex pulled away and cupped Piper's cheeks with both hands. She looked in her eyes for a few seconds before she found the words.

"I can't walk away from you, Piper. Not now… not ever."

Piper quickly closed the gap between them. Her lips pressed deeply against Alex's and she smiled into the kiss. She couldn't believe she was back in Alex's arms. She was sure she had messed everything up and Alex wouldn't be interested. She truly believed that right at that moment, she was easily the luckiest girl in the world.

"There's someone I want you to meet." Piper said as she motioned for Polly to step outside.

"Polly this is Alex. Al this is Polly. The greatest friend in the entire world." Piper smiled genuinely at her friend, grateful for the support and loyalty she'd given her when she needed it most.

"Nice to meet you Polly." Alex held her hand out for Polly to shake.

"You too." Polly replied as she held Alex's hand.

"So, is it ok if I borrow her tonight?" Alex asked Polly, motioning to Piper.

"Sure. I'll call Pete, he can take me to dinner." Polly said as she smiled at the couple and made her way back in to the apartment.

"It's Nicky's birthday today and she's having her party at Sandy's. I thought you could be my date... if you want to…obviously…?"

"I'd love to." Piper replied, smiling ear to ear.

Alex returned the smile and held out her hand which Piper quickly grabbed on to it. She interlinked their fingers and they walked the few blocks to Sandy's. The smile didn't soften as they walked, it stayed glued to her face and she was sure it'd never disappear.

After a short time, they were close to the bar. Piper made her way to the front door but Alex grabbed her wrist stopping her from going any further. Piper turned to face the brunette with a confused look on her face.

Alex put both arms around Piper's waist and pulled her close.

"Before we go inside, there's something I want to say…"

Piper waited for her to continue.

"…I love you."

"You do?" Piper was caught off guard, she hadn't expected Alex to say those few words, she wasn't even sure if the Professors feelings were that strong. She couldn't be happier now that she knew they were.

"Yeah" Alex chuckled.

Piper tucked a strand of Alex's dark locks behind her ear.

"I love you too."

The brunette smiled and pulled Piper's lips to hers before they interlinked fingers once more and made their way inside the bar.

Sandy's was busy that evening, the crowds covered the dance floor and Piper struggled to even move. Thankfully, the Nichols party had the VIP section at the back of the club where they had slightly more room to manoeuvre. As the night went on and the drinks were flowing, it wasn't just the birthday girl who was feeling the effects. Piper and Alex were glued together all night. They could barely keep their hands off of each other and Piper longed for the night to be over so they could finally be together.

Many cocktails and a few shots later, Piper felt a little more than tipsy.

"Dance with me." She said as she pulled Alex from her seat and towards the dance floor.

They danced to the beat of Crazy in Love by Beyonce and Piper felt the arousal surge throughout her body as Alex grind up against her. Her ass was rubbing against the belt on Alex's jeans and the brunette held her so close she could feel her warm breath on the skin of her neck. Piper turned and pulled Alex close on the dance floor. She kissed her hard, their tongues quickly finding the inside of each others mouths. She couldn't care what anyone else around her thought. Piper let go of all the inhibitions she had, Alex was the only person she could do that with.

"Come with me" Alex said as she grabbed hold of Piper's hand, dragged her across the dance floor and down the stairs at the back of the club. Before she knew it, they were finally alone – albeit in a toilet stall but Piper would happily work with what she was given with the mood she was in.

Before she could utter a sound, Alex had her pushed up against the door of the cubicle. Her body was pressed hard into Piper's and the blonde needed to feel Alex's touch. The passionate kisses, the feeling of her tongue in her mouth and Piper's hands squeezing Alex's ass simply weren't enough anymore. She needed to feel more. She needed to feel all of Alex.

"This is fucking crazy." Alex smiled and said as she pulled away from Piper and took a look around at their less than clean surroundings.

"Come here…" Piper grabbed Alex's hand and pulled her towards her once again "…Let me show you what's fucking crazy."

Piper held eye contact with Alex as she guided her hand to the top of her waistband and slowly slipped it inside her underwear.

"Fuck" Alex closed her eyes and exhaled as she felt Piper's wetness cover her hand.

"All for you…" Piper said as she leaned close to Alex and whispered in her ear.

Alex raised her eyebrows and smiled suggestively.

"I need you to take me home Al. Now."

Alex nodded and kissed Piper hard, her hand not moving from the blonde's underwear until it was absolutely necessary.

The feel of Piper's wetness was almost enough to send Alex over the edge on it's own. As she grabbed her hand, guided her out in to the street and eventually into a cab, Alex felt her own underwear dampen at the thought of what the night might hold.

Piper had never been a massive fan of public displays of affection but sitting in the back of that cab on the way to Alex's apartment was when her mind changed. She couldn't keep her hands off of Alex and she didn't want to. She swung her right leg over Alex's thighs as the brunette's hand rested on her ass. Their mouths didn't part for a second and Piper moved her hands from Alex's hair to the hem of her shirt. She pulled the tucked shirt out from Alex's jeans and quickly slipped her hand underneath. Her hand found Alex's breast and she squeezed and massaged it through the material of her bra.

She heard Alex struggle to keep the moans from escaping her mouth and this only turned Piper on more.

"Piper, wait, what about the taxi driver?" Alex said, suddenly aware that they had an audience.

"Fuck him." Piper said as she continued to kiss Alex before pulling away abruptly "Actually… no… don't… fuck me."

She looked in to Alex's eyes as the words came out of her mouth and could see the need and hunger in them.

Alex quickly placed her lips back on Piper's. She pushed towards her to the point that she was almost on top of her. They kissed passionately, their tongues exploring the inside of the other's mouth. Alex's hand sat on Piper's knee and slowly moved upwards. Piper felt a shiver race through her entire body as Alex's hand grazed her thigh and was now only centimetres from her centre. She struggled to control her gasps as Alex's hand didn't stop. She gently rubbed and massaged Piper between her legs over the material of her tight jeans.

"Mmmm." Escaped her mouth as her own hands continued to massage Alex's breasts.

They both stopped what they were doing as the cab slowed and pulled up outside of Alex's apartment. Piper felt a mixture of emotion as it did. Disappointment that Alex's touch was now gone but excitement knowing that the show could continue when they were finally alone.

Alex threw some cash at the driver and jumped out of the cab. She held out her hand for Piper which she quickly grabbed hold of as they made their way into the building and towards the elevator.

They both stood stationary in the elevator, staring ahead and clutching on to the others hand. If Piper so much as looked at Alex she knew she wouldn't be able to control herself.

Alex stood outside her door and struggled to find her keys. The reason for the struggle came from Piper who was stood behind her. She had her body pressed against Alex's and her hands reached around to Alex's front and began to massage both her breasts, all the while her lips placed soft, sweet kisses on the brunette's neck. Eventually, Alex found her keys and they were soon both inside the apartment.

Alex wasted no time. She threw her jacket and bag to the ground and pushed Piper against the front door. She kissed her softly, a kiss full of love.

"Come on…" she said as she held out her hand for Piper.

Piper grabbed hold of it and followed Alex into the bedroom.

Alex sat down on the bed and grabbed hold of Piper's hips. She smiled as Piper climbed on top and showered her with kisses.

Alex lay back as the couple faced each other on the bed. Piper's hand rested on Alex's ass as Alex cupped her cheek with her warm palm.

"Are you ok?" Alex asked. She knew Piper had never done this with a woman before and she wanted to make sure she took care of her.

"I'm perfect. And so are you. I love you Alex."

"I love you too baby." Alex replied before placing her lips on the blondes.

Their kiss quickly turned passionate and Piper felt herself go weak as Alex's hands massaged her breasts. She pulled at the hem of Alex's tank top and pulled it over her head. She managed to unhook her bra with one quick motion and after seconds it was on the floor. Piper pulled away from Alex's lips as her breasts fell free. She quickly covered her already hard nipples with her mouth and sucked gently. As she did, Alex pulled Piper's top off and unhooked her bra with expert skill. Piper continued sucking gently on Alex's nipple as she took the other in between her thumb and forefinger. She squeezed it gently, just as she does to her own nipples when she masturbates.

"That feels so good, baby, don't stop." Alex said breathily as Piper continued to work on her breasts.

Before long, Alex sat up in bed and Piper was now straddling her. She kissed her way from Pipers lips, down her neck and to her chest before taking her nipple into her mouth. Piper's breathing intensified as she held Alex's head close.

Alex looked up at her and smiled as she unbuttoned Pipers jeans and slowly began to pull them down. She flipped Piper over and kneeled on the bed as she helped her out of her jeans. She threw them on the floor before she removed the rest of her own clothes and was now standing naked at the edge of the bed.

Piper's eyes grew wide as she looked Alex up and down. She didn't lose eye contact with the brunette as she slid her own underwear down her legs and threw the black lace panties to the floor.

"Get over here." She said.

Alex didn't need to be asked twice. She lay next to Piper and kissed her passionately. Her hand cupped her cheek and slowly moved down her neck. It grazed over her breasts to her stomach and continued to move South. Alex didn't stop.

"Spread your legs." She whispered in Piper's ear and Piper done exactly what was asked of her. Alex's hands lightly traced Piper's wet folds before her finger made it's way slowly from her opening to her clit, becoming covered in the blonde's wetness as it did.

Despite all of Piper' efforts to hold back, she let out soft moans of pleasure as Alex's finger drew circles on her clit. Alex's finger got faster and faster as Piper's breathing increased. Suddenly she stopped and removed her lips from Piper's. She brought her hand up to her mouth and licked Piper's juices off her moistened fingers. Piper was curious and she guided Alex's finger into her own mouth, tasting herself as Alex smiled up at her.

Alex placed her lips against Piper's once more and kissed her deeply. She moved in between Piper's spread legs so both their centres were pressed hard against each other. Piper longed for Alex's fingers on her clit again but as Alex began to grind into her she experienced a whole different type of pleasure surge through her. She moaned out loud as the tension built inside of her.

Alex moaned too as her sex pressed against Piper's. She kissed Piper's lips and slowly worked her way down. Before long, she was placing wet kisses on the insides of Piper's thighs as she moved slowly to her centre and pressed her lips against against Piper's wet folds. She kissed softly before thrusting her tongue inside her opening and tasting all of her. Alex moaned at the taste of Piper against her tongue as Piper's head involuntarily threw back at the feel of Alex inside of her. Alex moved one of her hands up Piper's body and rested it on her breast, Piper's erect nipple rubbing against Alex's palm.

Beads of sweat started to form on Piper's head as Alex's tongue continued to thrust in and out of her. Piper wanted more, she wanted to feel more. Alex read her mind. Her tongue moved from Piper's opening to her clit, licking all of her juices on the way. With her free hand, Alex quickly slid two fingers into the blonde. Piper moaned out and arched her back as Alex began working her with her fingers while drawing circles on her clit.

"Fuck… Alex… Baby…" Piper said as she began to thrust against Alex's fingers. She was close and she knew she wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

Alex increased her speed and curled her fingers hitting Piper's g-spot as she did.

"Fuuuuuuck…" Piper screamed as she felt her walls begin to contract around Alex's fingers. Alex sucked on Piper's clit hard as she came and Piper's sunk into the bed as the aftershocks ran through her.

"Oh my God. That was… amazing." Piper said as Alex began to kiss her way up the blonde's body before meeting her lips.

Alex chuckled and smiled lovingly at Piper.

"Can I… um… Can I do you?" she asked.

"You don't have to ask." Alex laughed.

Piper kissed Alex greedily. She could still taste herself on Alex tongue but that wasn't what she wanted. She wanted to taste what Alex tasted like.

"Mmm baby…" Alex moaned as Piper moved lower and soon found herself between Alex's legs. She knew what she wanted and she didn't hold back.

She spread Alex's lips slowly as she grazed her finger over the brunette's clit. Alex was dripping wet and Piper couldn't help feel a wave of pride knowing that she was responsible for it. Her tongue quickly moved to Alex's opening as she tasted her for the first time. It was exactly how she imagined she would taste and she couldn't help but moan out loud as her tongue became covered in Alex's sweet juices.

"Piper… fuck me…" Alex said breathily as both her hands moved to cup her own breasts. Piper took her fingers and slid them easily inside Alex's wet opening.

"More…" Alex whispered as Piper easily added a third finger.

She began to thrust slowly as Alex's moans grew louder. Her mouth quickly found her clit and she sucked on it as Alex raised her hips to thrust against Piper's fingers.

Piper sped up her thrusts as Alex's breathing increased and the deep, husky moans from her mouth became intense. Before long Piper could feel Alex pulsate around her fingers as she came to a screaming orgasm against Piper's hand.

"Fuck…" Alex smiled as she pulled Piper towards her and felt her lips once more. Alex wrapped her arms around Piper and held her close. Their legs were tangled in each others and Piper rested her head on Alex's bare chest.

It took them a long time to come down from their high as they sunk into each other and panted until they got their breath back

"So what do I call you now? Since you're no longer my Professor..." Piper asked.

"Call me whatever you want kid." Alex said as she kissed Piper's forehead and the blonde relaxed in to her lover's arms.
