For the first time in what feels like forever, Piper feels her body waking up naturally without the stress of needing to be somewhere or a buzzing alarm clock. The room is quiet and a bright light can be seem peaking through the top sides of the closed curtains. Lifting her head slightly so she can read the time, she sees that it's just gone past 10am, which causes her to let her head hit the pillow with a light smile covering her lips.
Over the last two months, she'd worked her ass off in the final stages of her current case that seemed never-ending, and although the outcome eventually prove rewarding, the fact that it's now over is relieving. No longer having people breathing down her neck seeking answers she can't always give us a plus; and the fact that she no longer has to keep up formalities with Alex is an added bonus.
A part of her felt sad that they no longer will be working with one another, but if it meant they have a freedom that they didn't quite have before, that no longer mattered.
With her thoughts now inevitably fixating on her girlfriend, the blonde is reminded that she isn't in her bed alone. They'd gone out the night before - well, tried to - to celebrate the end of their time working together, but by the time they got home, they both practically collapsed into bed - the toll of their final working week making itself known.
Not wanting to turn her body over quite yet, Piper moves her left arm behind her, seeking Alex's body. Her fingers come into contact with - what she thinks is - the brunette's leg, and in feeling no sudden movements from the woman behind her, she assumes Alex is well and truly still asleep. Like herself, the other woman probably doesn't get a whole lot of sleep, but, then again, that's a part of having the jobs they have.
Wanting to check if her theory is correct, the blonde reluctantly shuffles her body so that she's now lying on her back. Turning her head to the left, she sees Alex too lying on her back, except her right hand is resting against her stomach and her left is hanging off the edge of the bed. Her face is turned to the left with her dark hair splayed against the pillow, contrasting with the light blue pillowcase underneath it.
Despite their relationship being what is considered new, Piper finds herself growing to love more and more about the woman next to her everyday; she's just waiting for the right moment to let her know. Just thinking about voicing her feelings makes her feel restless. Wanting to see those familiar green eyes spurs her on for what she's about to do next.
She tries her best to be quiet, but by the time she manages to land in a position where she's lightly straddling the other woman's hips, the brunette begins to wake up.
"Hmm, what're you doing?" Alex groans, her voice rough from sleep as she moves her neck around, almost as though protesting before she even knows what's going on.
"Saying good morning," Piper says through a smile, enjoying watching the woman below her struggling to fully open her eyes.
"How about we go back to bed?" the brunette counters, despite her hands moving to rest on Piper's hips.
"Sleeping isn't what I want to be doing right now," the blonde continues, moving her hands up Alex's t-shirt, resting her hands on her abdominals.
"God, Piper," Alex squeezes her hands.
The blonde, meanwhile, leans back slightly and moves her hands to her own t-shirt, pulling it over her body to reveal her naked torso.
She enjoys watching the cogs turn in Alex's head as she eyes her body, hands further betraying her words as she moves them further up her sides.
"Pipes," the brunette begins, clearly about to question the other woman's intentions.
"Shh," Piper counters, leaning down to connect their lips, causing Alex's sentence to be forgotten in an instant.
Again, she feels Alex's hands roaming her body, and by the time she feels them reach her breasts, her hips thrust forward. She can feel the brunette's lips turning up into a smile at the action, and if anything, it reminds her of her original plans.
Shuffling back slightly, Piper lifts herself so that she can remove the shorts she had worn to bed, and returns to her previous position. She can see Alex's wandering gaze - most likely wondering what her next intentions are, and that answer is revealed when she begins to pull the brunette's t-shirt further up her body, not entirely removing it.
Adjusting her body and shifting her hips forward, the blonde lets out a groan once her centre comes into contact with Alex's abdomen.
"This is new," the brunette comments, clearly impressed with the spontaneity of what's happening.
Piper, meanwhile, immediately feels herself crumbling at not only the sensation, but at the fact that she's finally fulfilling a fantasy that she's been imagining since the first time she saw Alex's exposed torso.
She can tell she isn't the only one enjoying what's currently happening; Alex seems to be struggling where to keep her eyes - whether they're fixed on her face, her moving body, or her hips sliding along her stomach.
Placing her hands over Alex's chest despite the fact that it's still covered with her shirt, Piper begins to move faster as her breathing starts to further pick up.
"Here," Alex says, moving a hand from Piper's body down to her centre.
"No," Piper pants out, immediately moving her right hand from her girlfriend's body to grab her wrist, preventing her from making contact.
She knows Alex is loving how this looks - the fact that she is literally fucking herself on her body, but she can't help it.
Throwing head back, delivering a litany of encouragement along with Alex's name into the ceiling, the blonde eventually lets go of Alex's wrist, instead moving her hand back to rest over her breast.
She can hear the brunette's sleep-ridden voice relaying all sorts of dirty things, and she knows at this point that there's no turning back.
"Oh, Alex," Piper lowers her head, establishing eye contact. "Fuck, I'm gonna," she adds, not caring about the volume of her voice.
What happens next, however, is like having a bucket of cold water thrown all over her. And not in a good way.
"Oh god, Piper!" a feminine voice shouts, nearly equalling the volume of Piper's prior moans.
"Fuck," the blonde responds to the intrusion, immediately recognising the voice belonging to the last person she'd want to see nevermind hear from right now.
Freezing the movement of her hips, she dives her body off Alex - grateful she made the decision to keep the brunette's t-shirt from covering her breasts - and grabs the duvet, pulling it over her body. She can feel Alex's hands on her body under the duvet, as though trying to help cover her up and tell her everything is going to be okay, but there's not many things that will help the fact that her mother had just walked in on her naked. Walked in on her having sex, more specifically, with a woman.
"Mom," she says, hating the fact that she has to try and catch her breath. "What're you doing here?!" she asks, her tone of voice giving off signs of both embarrassment and confusion.
Her mother, with her back turned towards the bed, still doesn't turn around - probably out of fear in seeing more than she already had done.
"Your father and I are visiting for the weekend," her mother says, sounding uncharacteristically surprised.
"Let me get dressed. I'll be right out," Piper responds, feeling as though she wants the ground to swallow her whole.
"Your friend can stay here while we have a word," her mother comments before leaving the room - still not looking back - and closing the door behind her.
"Fuck," the blonde says, throwing her head back into the pillow behind her, closing her eyes.
"She seemed charming," Alex adds, trying to add some humour to the situation.
"Alex, my mom just walked in on us fucking. Now isn't the time," Piper says throwing the covers back and jumping out of bed.
"Well, I wouldn't say we were fucking. It was more so you using my body to get yourself off," the brunette counters while the blonde rushes about the room to find a suitable outfit to throw on.
"Shut up," Piper replies, hooking her bra on.
She can tell this isn't going to be a pretty conversation. Knowing her parents, they will do everything in their power to quiz her about her life decisions, but if there's one thing she's certain about, it's that she isn't going to back down from defending her relationship.
I know it's short, but I really want to get this finished (which it definitely will be).
