Chapter 29
A/N: Sorry this is a super short chapter guys, hope you enjoy it nevertheless! Thanks as always for being so loyal and patient.
A/N: I realised at some point I have switched from Alex wearing high-waisted jeans to her wearing a dress… I'm not sure how this happened but she is supposed to be wearing a dress so proceed from the last chapter as if it's correct. My most sincere apologies.
As Piper's hand creeped closer to Alex's center, Alex pushed into the kisses harder. As the raven-haired girl reclined the seat of her mother's car, she noticed the gift bag in the back seat footwell containing the gifts she intended to hand to Piper right after their date. As Piper shifted to straddle Alex's hips and leaned in to kiss her, Alex abruptly stopped her.
"Wait, Pipes, I have something for you." The Raven-haired girl reached over and grabbed the gift bag. "This is for you, Pipes, I mean I had a little help from Elizabeth for this one too, as you probably already guessed, but hey everyone needs a wingman right? Or wingwoman? Wingchild?"
"You're rambling. Just shut up and give it to me." Piper new full well that Alex only rambled when she was nervous but that only made the blonde more intrigued for what was hidden below the crinkled pink tissue paper in the not at all complimentary purple metallic gift bag.
Alex tentatively gave over the bag but Piper was in no way tentative with the way she excitedly peeled back the crumpled tissue paper disguising the adorable penguin beneath.
"Alex, it's adorable." The blonde announced as she dislodged the penguin from the gift bag and discarded it to the passenger seat. "And look at its adorable scarf!"
"You can thank Elizabeth for that one, but that's not the best part. Press her tummy."
"It's a she?"
"If you want her to be."
"And what does her tummy do?"
"If you squeeze her really hard she'll throw up and it'll smell like fish."
Piper raised her eyebrow. Alex rested her hands on the blondes hip.
"Why don't you squeeze her and find out babe?"
Piper grinned from ear to ear at Alex's choice of words.
"Okay so squeeze her!" Alex almost felt as if the car was closing in on itself, the tension in the atmosphere growing ever thicker.
Piper located the solid box amidst the stuffing in the little lady's stomach and gave one quick squeeze.
She couldn't quite believe what she heard so she squeezed it a second time.
From the chubby scarf-wearing penguin echoed the words 'Pipes, will you be my girlfriend?'
The blonde blinked a couple of times, mouth slightly agape.
"Pipes?"
Piper lowered the penguin in a very serious manner twisting her body to place it carefully on the passenger seat. She turned again to Alex, who looked very concerned, placed her hands on her ribs below her chest and leaned down.
Alex was about to take a sharp breath in and brace herself for the worst when Piper stole that idea with the most passionate kiss she thought she'd ever received from anyone, let alone just her blonde, possible girlfriend. It ended too quickly for Alex though as Piper pulled away almost as quickly as she'd leaned in.
"Did THE Alex Vause just ask me to be her girlfriend?"
"You mean the sexy, suave, sophisticated Alex Vause?"
"Oh, if it's that Alex then I'll have to politely decline because, you see, I've fallen in love with this other Alex. She's definitely sexy, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for dropping crumbs. She's funny, very witty, extremely intelligent, and she has this super cute soft side that buys me candles and plush penguins and my favourite chocolates."
"Oh THAT Alex, let me see if she's in." Alex joked as she tickled Piper's sides.
"Hey hey hey" Piper called a halt to the fun. "I believe my girlfriend owes me mexican food."
This time it was Alex's turn to grin from ear to ear.
"I could get used to hearing that."
A/N: I know it's super super short but I felt I owed you something. Hope it satisfies for the moment, I promise there will be more ASAP.
