"Pipe! Wake up! It's my wedding day!" Polly shrieks into Piper's ear. Piper is shaken from a very hot dream involving her sexy brunette girlfriend and whipped cream. The past six weeks have been tough because she has been spending a great deal of time helping Polly plan her big day plus she spent two weekends at her parent's house checking up on her dad and spending some quality time with him, so she hadn't been able to spend as much time with Alex as she would have liked. In fact, they have not had sex in three days, which doesn't sound like a lot for most people, but for her and Alex it seems like an eternity.

She groans and opens her eyes to find Polly practically jumping on her bed. Piper smiles at her best friend's excitement. Polly had spent last night at Piper's following a spa day where the two best friends got massages, manicures, pedicures, and facials.

"Happy wedding day Pol! I can't believe it's finally here! I am so excited for you and Pete!"

"Thanks Pipe…I know this has to be kind of hard on you—you know since breaking off your engagement with Larry and all…"

"Pol, I broke up with Larry because I wasn't in love with him and I couldn't see myself being married to him for the rest of my life. Every time I would think of my wedding to Larry, I would get this overwhelming feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach, and I know that is not the way you are supposed to feel when thinking about your wedding day! Seeing you right now just confirms that for me even more."

"I just wish I would have known how you felt, I know I kept pushing you to set a date and plan the wedding, now I just realize I was probably making it worse on you…"

"It's okay Pol, it was a blessing in disguise actually because I found Alex and I couldn't be any happier—or more in love." Piper answers with a dreamy smile on her face.

"Hey Pipe?" Polly asks, "Do you see yourself marrying Alex one day? I mean right now if you think about your wedding day and it's her at the end of the aisle, how do you feel?"

"Polly! Alex and I have only been together two months and you have us at the altar already!" Piper yells at her best friend.

"I'm not saying you should get married or even engaged right now, I was just curious how you feel when you think about the possibility of marrying her…"

Piper stops to think for a moment to think about what Polly asked. Since meeting Alex a little over eight weeks ago, Piper's world has been turned upside down—in the best possible way. Thinking back to the night she broke up with Larry, Piper remembered hoping to find the earth shaking, stomach fluttering, soulmate kind of love she'd only read about in books. Little did she know that she would find it that same night. She knows deep in her heart that Alex is her soulmate and when she thinks about the possibility of one day marrying her, all she can feel is giddy excitement. Before Piper gets a chance to answer Polly, her phone signals that she has a new text message. Piper reaches for the phone and grins when she sees that it's from Alex. "It's from Alex!" Piper screeches to Polly with a big goofy smile on her face.

8:00 A.M. Alex: Good morning beautiful! Happy Valentine's Day! I feel like we haven't been able to spend quality time together lately and I know you have a busy morning and afternoon today helping Polly get ready and all, but I have a few surprises for you—go check out your front porch ;)

Piper read the text silently to herself first before reading it aloud to Polly and jumping out of her bed to grab her robe. The blonde runs to her front door and flings it open to find a vase full of the most beautiful red roses that she had ever seen. Piper smiles, picks up the vase, and brings them into the kitchen just as Polly emerges from the bedroom.

"Holy shit Pipe! Those are gorgeous! Who would have thought that Alex was such a romantic? Hey, there's a card," Polly points out sitting down at the kitchen table. Piper grabs the card and she can see "Pipes" written on the envelope in Alex's distinctive handwriting.

Pipes,

You know that I'm new to this whole relationship thing and I have never had a girlfriend on Valentine's Day before, so I hope roses aren't too cheesy or cliché. Open your back door for the next surprise.

Love,

Alex

Piper walks quickly to the back door and opens it to find Alex herself standing there.

"Alex! What are you doing here? I didn't think I was going to see you until later at the wedding!" Piper shrieks jumping into her girlfriend's waiting arms and wrapping her legs around the brunette's waist.

Alex chuckles at the blonde's excitement. "Happy Valentine's Day Pipes! I couldn't wait till later to see you so I brought you guys some coffee and pastries," Alex says nodding toward the coffee and bag on the porch by her feet.

Piper unwraps her legs and places them back on the ground. "Thank you for the roses—they're beautiful and no, they are not cheesy or cliché," Piper whispers leaning in for a kiss. "I was dreaming about you this morning…it involved your sexy body and whipped cream…then Polly woke me up before it got to the really good part.

"You're killing me Pipes. We haven't had sex in three days and I'm so horny I had to take care of myself in the shower this morning."

Piper melts into another kiss with Alex just as they are interrupted by Polly.

"Ahem! Okay enough of that lovebirds! Hey Alex is that for us? I'm starving!" Polly asks pointing to the coffees and pastries.

"Hi Polly, yeah I brought coffee and breakfast because I know that Pipes probably doesn't have anything edible in her fridge." Alex replies teasing Piper.

"Hey! I take offense to that! I have been very busy and definitely have not had time to go grocery shopping…but as usual, you're right I think I have wine, pickles, and some leftover Chinese food in there right now!"

"Well in that case-let's eat!" Alex laughs following Piper and Polly into the kitchen. After breakfast, Polly excuses herself to take a shower. "Thanks for the breakfast and coffee Alex, I'll see you later when I become Mrs. Polly Harper!"

Alex pulls Piper onto her lap and kisses her deeply. "I love you Pipes—Happy Valentine's Day."

"I love you too Al and thank you again for the flowers and breakfast and for showing up here this morning…I really needed to see you."

"Your welcome babe," Alex whispers and deepens the kiss. The two women make out for a few minutes before Piper reluctantly pulls away. "As much as I want to continue this…Polly and I have a makeup and hair appointment in forty minutes and I still need to shower."

Alex laughs, "Okay Pipes, I'll go and let you two get ready, but just wait until I get you alone later…" Piper gives Alex one last kiss goodbye before jumping in the shower.

As Alex sits with about one hundred other guests waiting for Polly to make her way down the aisle, she finds herself thinking about marriage. Alex has never really seen herself as the marriage type, but then again she never saw herself as the committed relationship type either until she met a certain blue eyed blonde. The very thought of marriage used to terrify the raven haired woman, but the thought of one day marrying Piper makes Alex feel excited and hopeful.

Alex's breath catches in her throat as she watches Piper walk down the aisle in her strapless purple bridesmaid dress. Piper makes eye contact with her as she passes and Alex continues to stare at her beautiful girlfriend long after "Here Comes the Bride" begins to play and everyone else's attention is turned toward Polly.

Later at the reception Alex is a bit frustrated to see that she is sitting at a table with Polly's cousins, Sam and Dean, and Pete's fraternity brothers from college. She knew that Piper helped Polly decide where to seat the guests and teased her girlfriend, "Pipes, did you really put me at a table with a bunch of guys?" Not that she really minds, in fact she tends to get along better with and have more in common with men, but she just thought this was a curious choice for Piper.

"Well yes, I didn't want any women hitting on you, you're mine after all!

Alex chuckles and gives Piper a chaste kiss on the lips "You have nothing to worry about Pipes, I only have eyes for you and that sexy dress."

Piper heads to the head table with the wedding party as dinner is about to be served. Alex has surprisingly good conversation with the guys at her table during dinner, but from the looks of Piper at the head table, she is not having the same kind of luck. Pete's younger brother, Chad, is seated on Piper's left and Alex can hear him talking about how he dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. Piper is trying to be polite and attentive, but she is doing a horrible job of hiding her boredom with her dining companion. Alex smirks and decides to mess with Piper a bit. Removing her phone from her purse she takes a picture of her dessert that happens to be covered in whipped cream and sends a text to Piper.

Piper is nodding her head trying to appear interested in what Chad is saying when her phone vibrates notifying her of a text. Glancing at her phone she sees it's from Alex.

6:33 P.M. Alex: Hey Pipes, if he makes it as a professional wrestler, maybe you can be his "ring girl." :)

Piper quickly types out a response and send it to Alex.

6:35 P.M. Piper: Fuck you! I'm dying over here and you are making jokes! This guy is so obnoxious, I can't wait until dinner is over!

6:36 P.M. Alex: Sorry babe your expression for the past ten minute has been hilarious I couldn't resist! You look so hot by the way, I'm sitting over here fantasizing about what I'm going to do to you later! This dessert reminded me of that dream you were describing earlier.

Piper smiles as she reads the text and lifts her gaze to meet Alex's. The blonde feels her insides flutter thinking about the dream she was having this morning in which she was licking whipped cream off Alex's full breasts.

Dinner is finally over and Piper pulls Alex out onto the dance floor for a slow dance. Piper wraps her arms around Alex's neck while Alex wraps her around the blonde's waist. All of the other people just fade away as the two women move slowly together. Piper leans even closer and whispers into Alex's ear, "You know we are going to have to stop by a grocery store on the way home and buy a whole lot of whipped cream right?"

Alex smirks and whispers back, "Absolutely!"
