Hey guys! This was a double update so make sure you read chapter 19 first if you haven't already!
Chapter 20
Once back at the cabin, Alex shoos Piper away when she tries helping her put away the snowmobiles, instead insisting that the blonde go and turn the hot tub on. She locks the shed behind herself and walks to the patio door, removing her boots before walking inside. Once inside there's a cold beer sitting on the table waiting for her and she graciously uncaps it a takes a long drag.
Perfection, she thinks to herself as she makes her way to their room, following the trail of discarded clothes that Piper had left in her wake, Piper's messy style was a stark contrast to Alex's usual tidy and well-kept style.
In the days before Piper, Alex's apartment was spotless, not a single dish or shoe out of place. Now? Now Alex can't even walk through her front door without spotting at least 3 pairs of Piper's shoes and usually a shirt or two. Had it been anyone else she'd freak out, but she liked finding Piper's things strewn around the apartment, especially on the nights when the blonde didn't stay with her.
She reaches the bedroom and finds the blonde stretched out on the bed in only her bra and panties. Following suit and Alex strips down and asks, "Did you have to leave a trail of clothes like fucking Hansel and Gretel Pipes?"
"No but I damn sure decided to," She rolls over and spies the beer in the brunette's hand. "I don't hear you complaining about the beer that was waiting for you at the door though."
"Mm, touché. Much obliged my lady." She does a formal curtsy and flops onto the bed next to the smaller woman. "God damn I'm tired, I don't wanna do shit."
"Well don't get too tired, you have a debt to repay tonight," Piper reminds her as she runs her foot up and down Alex's calf.
"Oh I haven't forgot trust me. And as a matter of fact," Alex gets up and pulls a small tattered satchel out of her suitcase and then sits on the edge of the bed. "Bingo."
"Ew that thing is ancient, please tell me you're going to burn it in the fireplace.
"Hey! Watch your mouth, this isn't ancient, it's a classic and it's my stash bag from my younger days."
"Younger days?" Piper snickers, "Then ancient was the word I was looking for," She sits up and rests her chin on Alex's shoulder as the brunette looks over her glasses, green eyes threatening,
"Keep it up and you don't get any party favors kid."
She opens the satchel and takes out a small latched wooden box with the initials "AV" and "NN" crudely carved in the top. Piper watches curiously as Alex flips the top open to reveal a smoker's paradise.
There's blunts, joint papers, a grinder, a joint roller, two small bowls and a couple of lighters in addition to a small mason jar of weed.
"Pot?" Piper exclaims slightly disappointed.
"Hell yeah, sweet Mary Jane. Don't sound so disappointed." She unscrews the Mason jar lid, filling the room with a strong skunky odor. "You turned on the hot tub right?"
"God that smells, and yeah."
"Alright grab some towels and snacks and meet me outside in a few minutes." Her voice trails off as she concentrates on her current task. "And there's a strict no clothes policy for the hot tub!"
She grabs the grinder and roller and easily rolls three joints. Once finished she sticks one behind her ear and the other two and a lighter in an old metal cigarette case that she and Nicky had stolen from Mama Vause years ago. She finishes and makes a quick trip to the fridge and grabs a few beers.
Kicking clothes out of her way as she goes, she slides the patio door open and sees Piper already in the hot tub with her eyes closed and her head thrown back amidst the rising steam.
She quietly closes the door and bare-footed makes her way across the freezing cold patio. She's setting the beer in the snow to keep it cool when Piper finally notices her.
"More party favors?" She asks without opening her eyes. Finished, Alex sets the cigarette case and lighter on the hot tub's deck and then climbs onto the side of the tub and dangles her feet in the warm water.
"A few." She says before unsnapping her bra and fully immersing herself in the water. A moan escapes her lips as her body is filled with warmth and the water jets massage all the right places. "Dear God this is amazing!"
"Right? You should get one in the apartment."
"I might fucking have to. Uhhhhh," She moans again as her sore muscles begin to relax.
They sit in silence just enjoying the moment for a while before Alex remembers the joint behind her ear. She dries her hands and tells Piper to do the same before she lights up.

An hour and two joints later they're up in the clouds as Alex cracks open a beer. The blonde insists she's not too high to have one, but Alex knows better. Piper was a notorious lightweight when it came to alcohol and had show that time and time again so instead the brunette hands Piper her beer allowing her to take a sip. Bur the blonde has other ideas and it isn't until she's two gulps in that Alex realizes her mistake.
She laughs and splashes Piper, nabbing the bottle while the blonde is distracted. "That's all you get, you're flagged kid," She throws the now empty bottle into the snow and turns back to Piper. The blonde doesn't say a word, she just sits and looks at Alex mischievously for a few minutes the weed fogging her brain and making her giggly.
"So you're telling me that you and Nicky have never even kissed?" Piper asks picking up on a conversation from earlier.
"No! Just cause you and Molly had weird straight girl make out sessions doesn't mean me and Nicky did. Fucking straight girls," Alex laughs out while the blonde joins in, snickering uncontrollably from the joints they had smoked.
"Come on Pipes, ask me something worth answering."
"Umm, okay..." Piper hesitates. "You're not going to get mad?" She asks as she slides over onto Alex's lap, immediately enjoying the feel of Alex's breasts on her back and the strong arm around her waist.
Alex takes a swig of her beer, "Shoot kid."
"Okay, okay…Oh I know, I've been meaning to ask you this! Why didn't you go to college Al? You're brilliant!"
The question catches Alex a bit off guard and she clears her throat before answering. "Well we all can't be rich little shits like you right?" Alex chuckles and takes a swig of her beer, "No moolah no schoola."
Feeling like a bit of a privileged asshole, Piper tries to backtrack. "What about like loans and grants and stuff? I'm sure you would have been able to get some scholarships Al."
"Nahh, that shit wasn't for me. I barely graduated high school and mom dukes needed me to work so that was that."
Just by Alex's tone of voice, Piper could tell that this was a touchy subject but she continued with her questioning. "How about your dad? Why didn't he help?"
Instantly Piper feels Alex's leg muscles tense underneath her and the arm around her waist unconsciously tighten. If Alex's face didn't betray her emotion, which it rarely did, Piper knew to make note of the rest of her body language.
"Uh-uh," is all the normally talkative brunette can muster before she tosses her empty beer bottle into the snow, clearly uninterested in finishing their current conversation. But again Piper continues on.
"Okay and what does that mean?"
"Exactly what I said, nope. He knocked up my mom and then ran away like the coward he is, I've only ever met him once and to say I was wholly disappointed is an understatement." But as soon as the words are out of her mouth Alex notices her flippant tone. She takes a deep breath and sighs out before dropping her head onto Piper's slim shoulder. "I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to get all psycho and evil."
"No Al, it's my fault. Goddamn foot-in-mouth disease strikes again! Anddd on that note I think it's time for bed!" She pulls herself out of the hot tub and immediately a shiver shoots up her spine. "Alex, stop looking at me like that I'm too tired to even think about sex."
"No such thing! Plus I have a debt to fulfill," she reminds the blonde.
This time, Piper turns to face the brunette, "Nope, I might literally pass out in the middle of it. I'm getting in bed and when I get there I'm going to sleep."
"Yeah, okay." Alex smirks and shakes her head, knowing that the blonde would never stick to her statement. "It's the pheromones or some shit," as Nicky would say and honestly Alex was starting to believe it, either that or Piper was doing some kind of voodoo witchcraft. Little blonde-haired, blue-eyed devil, Alex thinks to herself while watching Piper's hips sway and her cute little butt as she walked back into the cabin.
