As the bell rings and someone impatiently knocks on the door, Piper gets up from between Alex's legs on the floor to open the door, but with her hand on the doorknob, she questions "Who is this?"
"It's Little Saint Nick!"
Doing what Alex thought was the most adorable confused expression ever, Piper silently questions the two brunettes on what she should do, not wanting a robber or whoever else it was to break into the apartment. Alex is still laughing but manages to speak up "It's Nicky!". However, a lifted and questioning eyebrow remained on the blonde's face, until the second answer came from the brunette's mouth "My friend, Nicky. Midget, crazy hair, no manners…? Ring a bell?"
"Oh, oh! Ok!" she hurriedly unlocks the door and is faced with the short girl, covered in snow from head to toe, as she grabs a handful of it and places it on her chin, doing her best attempt at a snow beard while holding a whisky bottle up high with her other hand like a trophy
"Ho-Ho-Ho, motherfuckers!" she then shakes the snow off her face and head like a dog would do, spreading all of it around her and grinning "Forecast said we were gonna have a white Christmas. Well I just bought us a lovely cheap bottle of whisky so let it fucking snow"
"Nick!" Diane exclaims with a big smile on her face as she stands up from the couch "Get your tiny ass over here and give me a hug!"
"Your wish is my command, my queen" she bows down and proceeds to wrap her arms around the taller brunette who squeezes her tiny figure. Breaking apart, Nicky looks at the bottles on the coffee table "I'm assuming y'all had one hell of a party last night, eh. I'll let you know in advance that Marka, aka mrs Beelzebub, is still very much alive and my bequest is still going to take some time" she plops down on a cushion on the floor "Until then, if you three want to keep living and breathing, better invite me over next time you get this amount of booze"
"Don't call your mother Satan, child. I got these earlier today, we were going to play 'truth or drink'!" Diane looks around the living room and squeezes herself on the couch between Alex and the sleeping cat "But these two wimped out so we're just being old farts watching lame movies"
As soon as the words escape the older woman's mouth, a mischievous smirk is formed on Nicky's face "What do you say we start now and get warm and fuzzy?"
"I think I'll pass" Alex interrupts, while placing some blonde hair behind the girl's ear, with Piper sitting on the floor with her back turned to the couch, between Alex's legs, resting the weight of her head on one of Alex's thighs "Too hungover still"
Piper lifts up her head to look at Nicky and looks back up at Alex, her face forming into a sly smile "Oh, I'm fine with it! I'll play. Won't hurt to find out more about you"
Alex sighs and relents, smiling at Piper.
After Diane and Nicky eye each other for a second, the short girl curls her fingers into a fist and hits the air as she lets out an extremely loud whip sound with her mouth.
Throwing a red skittle up in the air and catching it with her mouth, Nicky chews on the candy with an open mouth as she speaks "Who would've thought, that out of any women in the world, blondie right there would be the one to get Vause wrapped around her skinny little yuppie finger"
"I'll admit she is the exact opposite of any women I'd ever thought would try to do that. And I said try." Diane folds the pieces of paper that the girl had been writing the questions on "But I like her. I think she's feisty. And it doesn't seem like she puts up with too much of Alex's bullshit"
They both laugh at the statement and Diane's expression changes to a more concerned look, however she still smiles fondly at Nicky "What about you? Are you doing alright, love?"
The girl bites the insides of her cheeks and nods, muttering a nearly silent "I'm good", a very timid smile threatening to form on her lips(that she fought and nearly succeeded at hiding, but it was enough for both of them to know it was there and what it meant). Not wanting to focus on her own issues and, especially, missing out on the opportunity to tease her friend, she speaks out loud enough for everyone inside the apartment to hear "Although I'd be a LOT happier if your daughter had actually gotten me the right gift!"
Alex overhears from the corridor and leans the upper half of her body from the corner of the wall so she's within eyesight and then glares at her friend "You asked me for a fucking pet raccoon. A living and breathing pet raccoon."
Nicky shrugs it off like it's no big deal and throws the rest of the candy inside her mouth, chewing everything at once. "Fuck is taking you two so long to bring a snack?! Are you going to eat each other out before getting us anything?"
The blonde utters from the kitchen "I'm coming!"
"Good to know young Vause's still got it" Nicky nudges her friend's mother with her elbow with a satisfying smirk on her face, throwing the folded questions inside a pan(they made a note to buy a vase; until then, this would have to do)
Diane playfully slaps the short girl's arm and clears everything out of the small coffee table to make room for the food they were bringing in from the kitchen – bottles and shot glasses were lined up on the floor and cushions had been laid out around the table signaling where each one of them was supposed to sit.
The apartment's residents walk back trying to balance trays and plates before laying them down on the flat wooden surface. An assortment of pimento cheese gougères, gongonzola and fontina nachos with fennel and mint, homemade greek pita, edamame hummus, pan fried onion dip and several sliced pieces of vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini and celery stalks.
"Think you got 'snack' confused with 'The last supper', Chapman" she grabs a nacho and sticks it in her mouth "This shit is fucking delicious, but you should tone down on the yuppie hippie fancy shit, stick to simple things little Oreos dipped in PB and up your game next time"
"Well, that sounds disgusting"
"What, you've never dipped Oreos in peanut butter before?! It's like dipping pussy onto a pile of cash. Fucking delicious!"
The other three women roll their eyes in unison at the answer. This was certainly going to be interesting...
"Ok, this is an easy one, I'll start" Alex stares at Nicky "What's your most favorite fetish?"
The girl thinks for a couple seconds while staring at her friend, who lifted a questioning eyebrow at the action, until she makes up her mind "Shrink wrapping has always looked pretty awesome"
Piper quickly grabs her phone and googles that, making a horrified face as she hands Diane the phone so she can look at the screen and try to understand what the hell goes through that girl's brain. Shrink wrapping, seriously? No.
"Whatever, you asked, I answered" Nicky shrugs then grabs a piece of paper and unfolds it "Blondie! When was your most recent orgasm? Describe it"
Alex's mouth curves into a cocky smirk and she bites her lip in an attempt to contain it as the blonde's face transitions between ten different shades of red. She reaches out for one of the bottles, grabbing a random one and almost dropping it due to her nervousness and messily pours herself a dose, drinking it down in one gulp and trying to ignore the sound of laughter coming from the other people in the room.
Trying to change the focus of the game, Piper turns to Alex to ask her a question "What's one thing you find really irritating about me?" she looks at the brunette and points to the bottles "You know what?! Maybe you should drink. Go on, Alex. You need to stay hydrated"
.
Around seven questions later, Diane and Piper start feeling the effects of the booze the most out of the four of them; the blonde's quite a lightweight and she still had a lot of wine running inside her veins from the previous night. Diane's drinking days were now a part of the list of things she used to do frequently, but doesn't have to anymore. She doesn't need to escape her reality as much as she used to while raising her child(and hangovers get progressively worse as you get older, she's learned).
Nicky grabs a pack of cigarettes from her jacket's pocket and lights it up, handing it to Diane so she could bum one.
The blonde notices her roommate opening her mouth and, suspecting that the words coming out of her mouth would be reprehensive, places her hand over Alex's intertwining their fingers and squeezes it. "Diane, it's your turn" the blonde then looks at her hand and at the pair of green eyes that was also staring at their laced fingers, until their gazes finally met and both of them smiled.
"Alright, foster spawn" The older woman takes a drag out of her cigarette and looks at the short girl "Name two celebrities you'd like to sleep with"
Alex barges in and doesn't let her friend answer the question "Can I just name them? Let me name them!"
"What? Ah, Vause, whatever. Go on"
"Zoey Saldana, but during her Avatar phase, around that time, because she was just sooo…" she closes her eyes imagining the actress, "But you might want her as an Avatar. An actual giant and fucking blue Avatar. Which is absolutely weird, even for you"
"What? It would be interesting!" she takes a shot "Don't knock it til you try it!"
"Whatever" she rolls her eyes "And Bjork. Or both at the same time"
Nicky nods "Pretty accurate"
Diane chuckles at the piece of paper and looks at her daughter, holding back a laugh "How many people have you slept with?"
She considers the question for a couple of seconds, her fingertip circling the tiny dosage glass "More than you need to know" she fills half of it with whiskey and swallows it down, wincing at the strong taste of the beverage.
"Gosh" Piper rolls her eyes at the interaction and nudges Alex's leg with her knee "Pour me some tequila"
Ignoring the visitor's laughter, Alex looks into blue eyes and smirks "Are you feeling a little thirsty?"
"Yes" she bites her lip and reaches out for the bottle that the taller girl is holding as far from her body as she can, but the brunette is having way too much fun teasing her
"Are you feeling a little parched?!"
The blonde nods as she tries to hold her laughter in, but eventually gives into the effects of the beverages. The girl starts laughing and grabs the bottle from the smirking brunette, taking a sip from the bottle, but before she could even swallow everything, Alex pressed their lips together and kissed her as a droplet of the liquor fell out from the corner of her mouth, until Piper proceeded to lick it clean. "I know some things, Alex. I've heard some stories" she winks
Alex lifts an eyebrow and smirks. Holy fuck, did Piper drive her nuts.
.
"What position was I conceived in?"
"Do you want the truth?"
"Yes"
"I don't even know where! Could've been on the back of a tour bus, or maybe some club's bathroom, a Jacuzzi… Can you actually get pregnant if you're in the water? They didn't teach this stuff in sex-ed back in my days"
Piper hides the flushed look in her face with her hands, still uncomfortable with these kinds of questions being discussed with Alex's mother; even if she's completely different from her parents and can make all of the girls feel comfortable around her, she was still the woman that gave birth to and raised Alex, so how could it be possible for them to talk about sex so openly and casually? In her household, that was not something parents and children would talk about. Ever. But Diane and Alex were laughing and joking around, teasing each other… Maybe this was the right kind of relationship you're supposed to have with your children? Have them trust you enough to tell you everything and vice versa? Not having to ask your just as clueless friends for STD related advice?
A loud snap of fingers brings the blonde out of pondering and her attention is back to the people around her; "What?!"
"Your turn" Nicky hands her the pan that was filled with questions "Choose your victim"
She looks around, her hand wavering above the pan "Alex" she finally picks out a piece of paper and unfolds it "Wait, we're doing dares now?! No one said anything about dares!"
Alex shrugs "I'll do it"
"Ugh, fine. Jesus, who wrote these?!" she glares at Alex's friend who looks proud of herself then rolls her eyes and decides to get it over with "Take off your underwear until the end of this game"
Alex bites her bottom lip with a smile on her face and a lifted eyebrow, then stands up and walks towards her bathroom to resume the task. Quickly returning with black bikini style with a lace band panty wrapped around her finger, a smirk plastered on her face as she sits back down on the floor beside Piper.
As soon as the other women start chatting and asking more questions, making stupid dares and taking unhealthy amounts of swigs from all of the 4 bottles they had, Alex takes the opportunity to slip her panties inside the back pocket of Piper's jean shorts without her really noticing, due to her already inebriated status.
Diane to Nicky "I don't even know why I'm going to ask this… Have you ever had sex in my house and in my bedroom?"
"You mean in your current place?"
She stares at the younger girl "In one of the apartments we lived in when you two were teenagers"
"Oh yeah, definitely" she bites a piece of carrot and spreads hummus on some pita bread, chewing it and talking at the same time "I think I only missed the opportunity in one or two locations, but those one the temporary ones, when you two stayed at a couple of motels and shit"
Diane shakes her head and sighs "Well I'm surprised you didn't christen all of them"
Meanwhile, a certain blonde is watching the interaction with caution, analyzing her roommate's every move; the way she grabs a tiny piece of food from a tray or laughs at her friend's answer… Until she finally finds her voice "Was it with you?"
Alex lifts a questioning eyebrow as she turns to face her "What?"
"The person she had sex with in your old apartments, it was you, wasn't it?!"
Alex chuckles "You're adorable" she wraps an arm around the blonde and tries to bring her closer but decides to clear things up when she feels the girl's body stiffen up "It wasn't me, you idiot"
"With all due respect, blondie, but there's only room for one Vause in my bed" she signals to the older woman, who laughs and easily dismisses the hand pointed at her. "One day, Diane, one day!" she jokes
Unfolding a piece of paper, the eldest woman speaks "Well okay then, Piper… 'Do you send nudes to people you're dating?' What exactly are 'nudes'? Naked photos?" she held back a laugh at the confirmation and placed a hand over her eyes, shaking her head from side to side as if wishing the girl would choose to drink instead of answering, even if she knew that the blonde was way too intoxicated to be taking any more shots.
"No! No! Of course not!" she noticed the smirk on Alex's face and a thousand thoughts seemed to collide together inside the blonde's intoxicated brain. Did Alex think she was lame? Nah, had that been correct, she would've at least joked about it by now. Just then, she looks back up at her roommate/girlfriend(?) and gives her a small smile, instantly replied with a wink from one of her green eyes that stood behind a thick black pair of glasses. Ok, no doubt she was starting to get wasted.
Throughout the span of questions exchanged between two overly excited visitants, Piper's phone vibrated. She pulled it out of her back pocket and read it:
From: Alex
Not even in lingerie?
After typing a quick reply that only said "no :p", the blonde's attention shifts back to the game and the conversation that's happening in the room, until the gadget's screen lit up again
From: Alex
Check your pockets.
She does so and when she finds the black fabric, her eyes widen in surprise. She mouths 'how did you do this?!' to the brunette who just flashes her a cocky smile. A really fucking sexy smile… and all the desire she spent the day fighting to avoid in respect to their guests comes crashing back and taking over her body.
From: Piper
You're not getting these back.
"I dare you to take a body shot off Alex. If you want out of it, take two shots. No, make that 3!"
Still flustered from finding Alex's underwear in her pocket, she starts freaking out "What?! Nicky, no, that's not fair! I'm gonna be sick if I drink that much, I'm not a heavy drinker, I'm going to be sick and-"
"Well tough shit" the short girl grabs all 4 glasses and fills them up, each one of them with a different type of alcohol, then swallows one down herself "Drink up, blondie"
After taking a deep breath, Piper licked her lips and grabbed one of the glasses, quickly turning around and pushing Alex's shirt down, placing the drink between her breasts. She then lowered her head in front of her chest and made her best efforts to tease the brunette with a long and teasing lick on the skin above the glassware, without anyone else in the room noticing. Feeling Alex's breaths become heavier, the blonde placed her mouth around the glass and lifted it up, downing everything down in one gulp, her eyes never leaving Alex's lustful ones.
"I really enjoyed meeting you, sweetheart" Diane says as she hugs the blonde "Thank you for agreeing to spend the holiday with us, it couldn't've been better"
Piper smiles fondly at the older woman "It was my pleasure, Diane. You're welcome here anytime"
A loud honk sound coming from downstairs lets them know that Nicky successfully got them a cab; she'd ride with Diane to the train station so she could go back to New Jersey and then would head back to the apartment she used to share with Alex. The newly acquainted women break out of their embrace so Alex can say goodbye to her mom.
"Alright mom, give me a call when you get home"
"I'll send you a text" Diane hugs her daughter as tight as she can "I love you honey, can't thank you enough for letting me spend these past couple of days with you"
"I'll see you soon, ok? We've got a trip to go to" she smiles and opens the door for her mom
"Allie" Diane holds the door before it closes and smiles fondly "I couldn't be prouder of you. I meant it in many, many ways. Merry Christmas, baby" she then kisses her daughter's cheek and leaves, closing the door behind her.
.
The second the door closes behind Diane, Piper starts to freak out a little. She feels like a stupid teenager right now, but she can't help it. Taking a deep breath, she abruptly grabs a bottle from the floor and turns towards the kitchen as her voice trembles, beginning to ramble; "I-um-I'm just going to make us some drinks, some vodka, is vodka ok for you?"; not waiting for an answer, she messily pours the alcohol into two glasses and then grabs some cranberry juice from the fridge, pouring it on top of the clear liquid. Grabbing one of the glasses and turning around, she's surprised by the girl standing right in front of her.
The brunette grabs the drink from the younger girl's hands and starts pushing her against the counter with her lower body without breaking eye contact. They stand there for a few seconds staring at each other until Alex's eyesight finally drops to Piper's lips and her hand blindly reaches the closest surface, where she abandons the drink. "I think we've had enough alcohol" Before the blonde knows it, both of Alex's hands are on her hips, one thigh between hers and her mouth sucking and biting on her neck, reaching closer to her ear and speaking in a low voice "And I haven't had enough of you"
Threading her fingers in dark hair, Piper forgets her nerves and pulls Alex closer to her, because their current proximity wasn't enough. In fact, nothing was ever going to be enough. Desiring someone this much, to the point where you want to become one, that was scary and thrilling and so fucking exciting. She was done waiting. Meeting her lips and lowering her hands to the hem of Alex's shirt, she tries to lift it up, but stops when she feels the girl smile.
"Pipes" she breaks the kiss and grabs her chin so she can lift her face up a little and look into her eyes "We don't have to do anything if you don't want to" she pecks her lips "we can just make out like we did last night"
"That's not-I wasn't thinking about that" she wraps her arms around the taller girl, lowering her hand and fiddling with one of her belt loops to keep it busy, as she thinks of which words would best explain her thoughts.
"I'm just saying…"
"Alex" she grabs Alex's chin with her free hand and pulls her face to hers "The only thing that needs to be clear here is that if you're mine" she nuzzles her nose on Alex's cheek "You're only mine" she looks into the green eyes and bites the brunette's lower lip "I don't like sharing"
Alex smiles into their kiss "I'm only yours, kid"
So this didn't turn out the way I wanted it to(wanted to write the game with many more questions), but after season 3, I just wanted to dive back into my story/seasons 1&2 Vauseman while pretending that what I watched was just a bad dream. Yup, I refuse to accept what happened.
So anyway, I decided to post some fluff that hopefully will cheer you up a bit in case you had a similar experience.
Do you guys think their sex is gonna end better this time around? Hopefully it won't end up with another shower cap sort of fiasco, right? Right?
