Thanks so much for everyone's support again. You guys are awesome! Special thanks to Fig-aruna for once being a queen and editing this!

So I said that something was going to happen in this chapter, but nothing really does...it's just fluff. The chapter that was originally going to be this one has been pushed back. But you guys all seem to like the fluff. So I will keep on going with it.

We Found Love

date night...

"Don't leave," whispered Alex as she tried to pull Piper back into the bed.

"Alex," laughed Piper as she pulled her hand out of Alex's grip and took a step away from the bed.

"But I don't want you to go," whispered Alex, seductively in that voice that the blonde couldn't resist. She pulled herself up onto her elbows.

"Baby, I don't want to go either, but I have to...I haven't been to work in days...I need to go in," spoke Piper as she began to zip up the tight black dress she was wearing.

Alex's eyes drank in the blonde. She licked in her lips slightly as they traveled down her thin frame. That dress she was wearing didn't leave anything to the imagination, thought Alex to herself. It clung to Piper's curves like a second layer of skin. She didn't want anyone to see Piper like this. She wanted her all to herself. "Take the day off," whispered Alex.

"I have already taken too many days off...I gotta go," explained Piper as she finished doing up the zip and turned to look at Alex. She didn't want to go into work either. She would have to face Polly today. The two friends had been avoiding each other. But they had a business meeting today for a possible new buyer for the Popi line. She had to go.

"Stop looking at me like that," stated the blonde towards Alex. "It's not going to change anything. I have a meeting I need to be present for."

Alex just took this as a challenge. She smirked at Piper before reaching for her again. However, Piper was more prepared this time and took a step back.

"ALEX!" she cried again. Despite trying to be mad, she couldn't keep the smile off of her face.

Alex's smile deepened at this. She then turned onto her side and let out a sigh. She gave Piper a good view of her chest. Alex was completely naked except for the bed sheet covering her lower half. Her green eyes continued to pierce into Piper, watching as she slipped on a pair of nude pumps.

"Stop looking at me like that...it's not going to happen," spoke Piper as she finished putting on her shoes and straightened her back. Her blue eyes locked with Alex's. She knew what the woman was doing, and it wasn't going to work. Well, if she didn't have a meeting to attend this morning she would so be back in that bed with her. She looked irresistible at the moment as she lay there like something out of a Renaissance painting with her ample chest and the sheet draped over her hip. However, Piper wasn't going to give in.

Alex again grinned in response to Piper.

"You're adorable when you get mad," she whispered.

Piper just rolled her eyes before coming towards Alex.

Alex took this as her chance to pull Piper once again on top of her. Piper didn't fight her this time as she snaked her arms around her waist. The blonde squealed slightly as she lay on top of Alex's body. Alex had her hands on Piper's ass as her mouth attacked her mouth.

They continued to kiss heavily like this for a few moments before Piper broke away. She pressed her forehead against Alex's and looked deeply into her eyes. "I really need to go..." she whispered.

Alex cupped Piper's ass before pressing her lips hard against her. She didn't want Piper to leave, but she knew she had no choice. She didn't want Piper to miss her business meeting. She rubbed her nose against the blonde's before releasing her.

Piper smiled down at Alex as she adjusted her dress and stood up.

"What time do you get off at?" asked Alex as she slowly sat up in the bed.

"I dunno...probably around five or so," Piper answered back.

"Well, don't make any plans for after then...I'm taking you out tonight,' replied Alex. She had still yet to take Piper out on a proper date.

The blonde nodded her head and smiled at this.

"Okay," she whispered.

"I can't believe you are fucking living with her..." stated Polly as she drank heavily from her coffee mug and over to Piper. The two women were seated across from each other at a local bistro. They were having a late lunch together. The meeting had just ended and had gone pretty well.

"Well, I didn't have anywhere else to go," replied Piper with a slight shrug of her shoulders. "It's only temporary."

Polly just gawked at Piper like this. "Like hell it is," she answered. Polly knew Piper. She was her best friend. She knew that this wasn't temporary, her current living situation with Alex. Piper wouldn't get herself another apartment. She would continue to live with Alex until it all blew up in her face. Like it always did.

Piper pursed her lips at this but didn't say another word for a moment. She knew that Polly was right. That she wouldn't move out. She would stay living with Alex. But she wouldn't admit it. Even now it felt like her and Alex had been living together for years. It had only been two weeks or so. But what a hell of a two weeks they had been!

The two women continued to eat their lunches in silence for a few moments longer. Piper hated the tension between her and Polly. She hated how she thought that she was throwing her life away. That she didn't like Alex. Piper didn't need for Polly to like Alex, per-se. Polly had never really gotten along with Alex, and that was fine. But she still wanted her to be on her side. She felt like she was talking to her mother. Polly didn't get why she had stopped the wedding and ran off with Alex.

Polly thought that Piper was only infatuated with the idea of Alex. That she had only left Larry because of cold feet and shit. But that's where Polly was wrong. Piper hadn't just run away from her wedding because she was scared of committing to one person for the rest of her life. She had run away because she didn't want to commit to the wrong person for the rest of her life. Larry wasn't who she wanted to be with. She had wanted Alex, and she had chosen her. Maybe it had been a little too last minute, but she had at least made up her mind before it had been too late to do so.

"Look," stated Polly as she pushed her empty plate to the side and rested her elbows on the table. She leaned forward slightly as she locked eyes with Piper. "You know I have my own thoughts on Alex, but if you love her and she makes you happy. Then go for it, Pipes. You know I will be here no matter what. "

Piper smiled at her friend at this. "I know," she whispered as she reached out and touched Polly's hand.

No matter the differences the two friends had, they always managed to meet half way. This time was no different.

"But don't fucking think me and Supercunt are going to start hanging out and get mani-pedis together. Because that is not fucking something I will do!" cried Polly, making her point clear that she won't go above and beyond to be nice to Alex just because she was back in Piper's life.

Piper couldn't help but laugh at this, "Don't worry, I don't expect you to. Anyways, I can't even see Alex getting a mani-pedi!"

Alex- Where are you?

Piper couldn't help but smile as she stared down at the screen of her phone. She always loved to get text messages in the middle of the day from her. It always made her heart flutter and a warmth spread through her. Text messages to her where like modern day love letters. It was just a little reminder that someone was thinking about you and just wanted to let you know that.

The blonde quickly wrote back.

Piper- I'm sitting in my office. Will be home soon. :)

Just as soon at the text message was sent, the phone chimed with a new message. This one made Piper smile even wider than she already was.

Alex- I'm outside. Come. ;)

Piper glanced at the time displayed on the screen above the text message. It was only three thirty. She was technically done for the day. The meeting had gone well, and Polly had already left for the day. It was just her in the office, seated at her desk.

She quickly wrote back before throwing her phone into her purse and pushing back her desk chair.

Piper Chapman was leaving work earlier today and no one could stop her. She had a hot date with her girlfriend.

It took Piper less than five minutes to lock up the office and meet Alex. She was leaning against a pole of a streetlight. She was smoking. She looked like one of those cool kids in high school. Piper couldn't help but stand frozen to the spot for a second watching her.

Alex hadn't noticed her yet on the busy street.

Alex had her hair down which curled at the ends. She was dressed in cobalt blue dress and tan wedges. She looked beautiful, thought Piper. Alex rarely wore colour, but when she did, it was breathtaking. The colour of the dress brought out the blue tones in her green eyes.

It only took Alex a moment later for her to lock eyes on her girlfriend. Her face broke out into a smile as she looked on at Piper.

Piper grinned back as she began to enclose the space between them, pushing past the crowd of people.

"Hey," greeted Piper.

"Hey," Alex answered back as she flicked her cigarette onto the sidewalk and immediately reached for the blonde. Her hands rested firmly on her waist as she leaned forward and captured her lips into a tender kiss.

In reality it had only been a few hours since they had last seen each other, but it felt more like days as they continued to kiss on the side of the street, getting lost in the feel and taste of the others mouth. Neither cared about the looks they were getting for their public displays of affection.

The kiss lasted for a few moments longer before they broke part. They smiled sheepishly at one other before Alex took Piper's hand and led her in the opposite direction that the crowd was going in.

The couple ended up in a small Indian restaurant just a few blocks away from Alex's place. Alex had discovered the restaurant through Nicky. She wasn't usually a fan of Indian cuisine, but she knew Piper was, and she was a big fan of the restaurant's butter chicken.

The restaurant was dark and cramped.

It was jam-packed that night. Piper and Alex had ended up in a cramped table at the back of the restaurant by the kitchen. It wasn't the most romantic setting, but Piper loved it all the same.

The blonde had never been to India, but the environment in the place felt very similar to what the blonde imagined it would be like.

"I'm sorry," cried Alex over the noisy atmosphere and towards Piper. "I didn't think it would be so busy tonight..."

Piper just smiled and shook her head at Alex, letting her know it was fine. She didn't mind. "I love it!" she cried back, leaning slightly over the table.

Alex smiled at this. She was glad that Piper liked it and didn't mind the noise. For this was far from what she'd had in mind when taking Piper out on a date. She had wanted something intimate and cozy. Hot and stuffy and cramped was far from it.

"So how's Polly?" asked Alex as she draped her hair over one shoulder. The back of her neck was sweating slightly from the heat coming from the kitchen.

"Polly is good," Piper answered back as she took a sip from her water. She smiled reassuringly at Alex.

"You two are okay?"

"Yeah. She's still pissed at me for running out like I did at the wedding, but she doesn't hate me," explained Piper in a loud whisper as she leaned further over the table, so that Alex could hear her.

Alex's green eyes pierced into Piper's at this. She was happy to hear this. She didn't want Piper to have to lose all her friends and family just because she had chosen her over Larry. "Glad to hear it, kid," replied Alex as she smiled at Piper and rested her hand over Piper's on the table. The pad of her thumb gently caressed the blonde's knuckles.

Piper looked down at their interlocked fingers. She smiled before looking back up at Alex. "But she said she wouldn't go out for mani-pedis with you."

Alex cocked an eyebrow in response to this. She looked on at Piper for a second before smirking. "Well, I don't have a deep desire either to go get my nails done with her," replied the brunette before she brought Piper's hand up to her mouth and kissed the skin of her palm.

Piper couldn't help but giggle at this. "Polly would be glad to hear that...that you have a mutual hatred for each other."

Alex continued to press her lips against her palm. She smiled with her eyes at Piper. And once again, all the noise and everyone around them was gone. It was just the two of them as they continued to stare deeply at one another.

And they hoped it would stay like this, forever. For it only took one glance at each other, and everything was okay in the world. It didn't matter where their lives were headed career-wise. It didn't matter if family wasn't talking to them. Nothing mattered but each other when their eyes connected like this.

For they had each other, and that was all they needed.

Their love.

That's right people. That's it for now. Next chapter is in the works and involves whip cream! ;)

Thanks for reading and please review!
