Chapter six
Alex POV through the whole chapter
«Hey, Sylvie, it's me, we have to talk…»
I signed when I was done leaving the message on her voicemail. She had been spamming my phone all evening, but when I needed her, she didn't respond. Great, for some seconds ago I was the happiest person on earth, and now I am in a mood. I figured I might as well go to bed due to early classes tomorrow.
I was about to get out of the bathroom when I heard my phone ring. I ran to my bedroom, afraid the ringing would wake up mom. I got a little disappointed when I learned that it was Sylvie who was calling and not Piper.
«I've been trying to call you all night,» Sylvie said angrily when I picked up the phone.
«I've been out,» I said just as angry towards her.
«What did you want to talk about?»
«Maybe it would be better to talk about this in person,» I said. Even though I am extremely ready to end this relationship and move forward, I still feel like it is best to end things in person. I have known her for some years, I don't want our relationship to end over a phone call. «Are you available now?»
«No, I won't be available until the weekend.» That is too late, I thought for myself. It had to happen tonight.
«I want to break up,» I said and I could feel my heart beat extra hard as I waited for her response.
«No,» was all she said.
«What?»
«We can't break up, I am sorry that I was mad earlier, it has been a long day,» she said and it sounded like she was starting to panic.
«Sylvie…we're arguing more than we're having fun, it just doesn't feel right anymore,»
«Oh, so it just doesn't feel right anymore,» she repeated. «That is the lamest excuse I've ever heard, give me one good reason.»
«There's someone else,» I said and regretted it the second later. I don't want to drag Piper into this, it is not her fault that I am unhappy in my relationship.
«Who's the bitch?» Sylvie practically screamed into the phone, so loud that I had to take the phone away from my ear.
«She's not a bitch, Sylvie.»
«She is if she fucks a girl who's in a relationship.»
«We haven't fucked, Sylvie,» I said getting more and more frustrated with her every second.
«Forget about the bitch, okay. We can be happy, eventually.»
«For the last time, she isn't a bitch.» I couldn't stand the way Sylvie was talking about Piper, but I understood that she was hurting. «And I think you know just as well as me that we will never be happy.»
«Not when you go around and fucks others we won't.»
God, I couldn't take this anymore. «Jesus, Sylvie, it's over okay.» And with that, she hung up the phone. I signed and threw the phone on my bed.
«You did the right thing, honey,» I heard my mom say behind me.
«Mom, I am sorry if I woke you up,» I said and dragged my fingers through my hair.
«It sounded rough,» she said and sat down on my bed.
I went and sat down beside her. «Yeah, but it had to be done.»
«Yeah, and you did the right thing, she'll understand eventually. Imagine how bad it would be if you didn't tell her at all.» I chuckled a little and nodded my head thinking of how bad that would have ended. I am thankful that Sylvie doesn't know Piper, because if she did, I am afraid of what she could have done to her.
«So, Piper huh?» mom asked and smiled towards me.
«Yeah,» I said and smiled thinking of Piper. God, what has she done to me?
«When will I get to meet her?»
«Coming!» I shouted as I heard a knock on the door. I walked over to the door and opened it with a grin.
«Hi,» Piper said, and god did she look great. She was wearing blue jeans and a grey sweater with a print of a tree on one of the sides, that I recognized as a TenTree sweater. Her hair was loose and she had a sports bag over her shoulder.
I smiled at her and stepped a little closer. Then I placed my hands on each side of her beautiful face and pressed my lips softly on hers.
«Hi,» I said after I broke our kiss. I looked into those blue eyes of her and tried to read her feelings. I find it more and more easy to read her the more we hang out, and from what her eyes were telling me, she was happy, which is all I want. «Come in.»
I was a little nervous as she stepped into the apartment. It is not big and luxurious. I am not ashamed of it, but I didn't want her to be disappointed.
I watched as she looked around in the apartment. She didn't look disappointed at all, she looked around with a smile on her face. I have recently learned that I love to watch her take in sights, to see all the emotions that come to her. It is like seeing a place for the first time.
She bent down to take off her shoes before she stepped further in. As she passed the commode in the hall, she took a second to study the picture of me. I had totally forgotten that it was there.
I saw her smile before she said, «Cute»
«Not my best year,» I said before I grabbed her hand and led us to the couch. «Okay, so I thought we could go through the biology lecture first, then the history?»
«Sounds great to me,» she said and took out her biology book from her bag.
«Okay, what about a break?» she asked and closed her books.
«Never thought you'd ask,» I said and closed my books too.
We had been studying for some hours now, and we were both in absolute need of a break. I found it hard to concentrate on biology when she was just some inches away. My eyes kept stealing glances at her, and there had been many times that she had caught my glances, but I can't help it but admire her. She can't be aware of what she does to me, and just the smallest actions make me go nuts. Like the way she bites her lip while she's thinking, or the way she spins her pen around her fingers as she reads, or the way she frowns her eyebrows as she writes. At one point I actually had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom to calm myself down. God, I want her so much right now, but I don't want to scare her off by going too fast.
Even though I probably stared the must, there were a few times where I caught her glancing at me. When she realized that she was caught she would blush just a little, and smile, before she began to write again. Her adorable blushes didn't really make my lust for her to slow down.
I turned to look at her and found her looking at me. I lifted my hand to brush a hair strand behind her ear, and I let my hand be there. Her eyes are locked with mine, and I can see her smile and gently bite her downer lip. There is nothing I wouldn't have done to know what went through her mind right now. She locked her hands around my neck and moved her head towards mine.
I kissed her back the second our lips met, and it wasn't long before our tongues were in the game too. I raised myself on my knees, so I would be able to lay us into a laying position. Laying down, our kisses became a little slower but still more affectionate. The feeling of her lips against mine is one feeling that I want to cherish for the rest of my life, no matter how things go between us.
I have kissed a lot of girls over the last years, but kissing Piper like this felt like it was my first. I have never been this passionate in a kiss before, never felt this much for the person that I've kissed. Not even the first time that Piper and I kissed, did I feel like this. It is not like just the room is on pause, the whole world, hell, the whole universe is on pause. It is just Piper and I. Kissing Piper feels like second nature to me.
Piper moaned as I broke our kiss and started to pay attention to her neck, and it was one of the best sounds I had ever heard. I let my hand travel down to the hem of her sweater and in under it. Her skin felt like silk as my hand stroke against her bare torso.
«Honey, I'm home,» I heard my mom say as the apartment door opened. I quickly took my hand out from Piper's sweater and looked down at her. She looked like she was about to get a panic attack, so I tried my best to calm her down with my eyes. I sat back up, and Piper did the same as she tried to flatten her messy hair.
«Do we have visitors?» mom asked as she closed the door behind her, either not seeing Piper sitting on the couch, or pretending like she isn't aware that she interrupted us. I did not plan for them to be introduced yet, but I can't go and hide Piper now. I got up and took Piper's hand and pulled her up.
«Yes, mom, this is Piper,» I said and my mom turned around with a big and warm smile on her face. «Piper, this is my mom, Diane.»
I saw Piper smile and she walked to where mom was standing, reaching out her hand. «Hi, Ms. Vause, it is nice to meet you,» Piper said always so polite.
«Please, sweetie, call me Diane. It is nice to finally meet the famous Piper,» my mom said and took Piper's hand, but also pulled her into a hug. Watching them meeting each other woke up some feelings in me, and I couldn't help but stand there and smile.
«Famous?» Piper asked as their hug broke.
«Yes, Alex can't stop talking about you,» mom said with a big smile and looked towards me. Why does my mom always have to try to embarrass me? I gave her a stare, but in the corner of my eye, I could see Piper looking at me, and chuckle.
«Mom,» I said warningly.
«What? It's not my fault that you are acting like an enchanted lovesick puppy.»
God, can she stop?
«Anyways, you girls hungry?»
Lunch with Piper and mom was great. Mom asked Piper a bunch of questions, and I even learned some new things about her. Piper seemed to be a little nervous at the beginning, but she calmed down pretty soon.
Piper picked up her phone and looked at it. «I better get going, don't want to come late to work,» she said and got up from the counter stool.
I followed her to the door and gave her her bag. «I get off work around 11 pm tonight, you wanna meet up after that?» I asked her and she took her bag over her shoulder.
«Yeah, I'd love to. What about I come to the diner after my shift ends?»
«I'll look forward to it,» I said and gave her a gentle kiss before she walked out and I closed the door behind her. I turned around towards my mom and she turned to me.
«I like her,» she said and I beamed at her.
I heard the bell signaling a new customer. I am not going to lie, I have been waiting for Piper my whole shift, even though I know her shift only ended for some minutes ago.
«Yo, Vause, beer me,» Nicky said and dumped down on one of the stools at the counter.
«This is not a bar, Nicholls,» I said and smiled towards her. She had been so long at her mom's now, so it had been a while since I saw her last.
«Okay, can I get a soda then?»
«That I can fix,» I said and went to the back to get her soda. «So, how was it down with your dear mother?» I asked as I got out with her soda.
«Augh, same old same old,» she said and took a sip of her soda. «What has happened here?»
«Augh, not much,» I said and debating if I should bring up Piper now or not. She knows about mine and Sylvie's break up, and she also knows about Piper. But, I don't get much time to think before Piper actually steps into the diner. I smile the second she enters, and Nicky must have caught me staring because she turned towards the exit and looked at Piper too. Then she turned towards me and gave me a smug smile.
«Not much, you say,» she said as Piper started to make her way over.
«Be nice,» I told her.
«Hey, I am an angel.»
I gave her a last glance. «Hi, Pipes,» I said as she made it to the counter. I bent over the counter and gave her a light but passionate kiss.
«You must be Piper,» Nicky said and reached out her hand. «I am Nicky, Vause has probably talked a lot about me.»
«Yeah, hi, nice to meet you,» she said and took her hand.
«Well, it is a great pleasure to meet you, blondie.»
«You hungry?» I asked Piper and nodded towards the stool next to Nicky.
«Staving,» she answered and sat down.
«A burger coming right up,» I said and went to the back. As I made her burger, I could hear the two of them having a conversation. I feel a little bad for Piper, wherever she has been with me today, there has been a person for her to meet. But I am happy to see that she was sincerely happy to meet mom and Nicky.
«You go to NYU too, right?» Nicky asked Piper as I came out with her burger, and Piper nodded as an answer.
«Picked a major yet?»
«No, I haven't. I am thinking about Journalism though, maybe I'll declare double major, I don't know.» Piper said and picked up the burger and took a bite. «This is great, Al.»
«Years of training,» I said and smiled at her.
«Yo, Vause, what are you doing after the shift?»
«I'll hang out with Piper, and you'll go home.»
«Hey, you don't want me around? Wow, so much for coming home. I'll go hang out with Lorna, but first I want to get to know blondie here a little more.»
«I like her,» Piper said as I opened the door to the apartment.
«Good, so you don't think she is a little crazy?» I asked and took her hand to drag her in.
«I didn't say she wasn't, I just said that I liked her,» she said and took off her shoes. I chuckled from her respond and when she came up again, I grabbed her face, waited a little second to drive her crazy, before I closed the gap between us. Her lips brushed softly, delicately against mine. I could feel the warmth from her skin, and the taste of her light lipstick, that still lingered on my lips after our kiss broke.
«You wanna go into my room?»
«Yeah,» she whispered and I took her hand and led us to my bedroom.
The second I closed my bedroom door, I pinned her up against it, and she moaned a little as her back smashed against the hard door. My lips mashed against hers and she hungrily pushed back. Our kiss was no longer innocent but affected by a growing lust. She opened her mouth and I didn't hesitate before I let my tongue explore this still unknown area.
She pushed herself from the door and lowered her hands towards the hem of her sweater before she pulled it off, and she was standing there in her black lace bra. I could feel an ache in my stomach as I studied her beautiful body.
«Are you sure?» I asked, afraid of doing something she won't be comfortable with.
«I am certain.»
I didn't need any more convincing before I lifted her up, turned around, walked the few steps towards my bed, and let us fall down on it. I carefully caught myself so I wouldn't hurt her. I lowered my body against hers and closed the gap between us again. I let one of my hands travel up and down her upper body, and I could feel her hands up my back before she placed them around my neck.
I broke our frantic kisses and started to kiss my way down her toned stomach. I could feel her tighten her muscles as I came down her stomach, and her moans were like music to my ears. I lifted myself a little to pull off my own sweater, and I could see something spark in her eyes. I jumped fast down to her again, afraid of the taste from her lips would disappear. Her kisses were like drugs to me, once started it is hard to stop.
I let my hand travel down her body again, but this time, it didn't stop with her stomach. I reached down to the waist of her jeans and undid the button and opened the zipper.
«You okay?» I asked still afraid of going too fast. She just nodded and bit her lower lip, so I didn't wait for a second to slide my hand into her pants. Even though this was unknown territory, I didn't take my time to memorize every feeling, I figured it would be a long night, and right now, I wanted her too much to slow down.
Piper let out moans when I started to pay attention to her clit. Her back arched off of the soft surface as I slipped two fingers into her wet folds.
«Fuck, Al,» she moaned as I started to penetrate her. I started slowly at first to let her get used to the feeling, but then I went faster and faster, and harder and harder. Her moans get deeper and louder, and I don't think she can take this for much longer.
«Al… more,» she managed to say between breaths.
Just some seconds after I let my thumb massage her clit, she throws her head back in pleasure and as soon she lifts her head back up again, I attack her with kisses.
I was right, this was going to be a long, but pleasurable night.
A/N: so they finally hooked up!
