Chapter 10: Netflix and chill
Alex opened the door to her apartment and let Piper in first.
"Would you like anything to drink?" Alex asked Piper as she went into the kitchen to check what was in her fridge. "Damn I need to go grocery shopping," she whispered to herself.
"We could always go later on" Alex jumped into the air.
"Shit pipes you scared me" Piper chuckled
"Sorry Al. but you have to admit that was funny," Piper said in a light chuckle.
"No it was not" Alex pouted a bit and Piper went on to peck her lips. Alex grabbed Piper's neck and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss. Alex swiped her tongue on Piper's bottom lip to ask for entrance, which was quickly granted and their tongues danced a tango and massaged each other while they tasted each other.
They pulled apart when oxygen became a necessity. They were breathing heavy with their foreheads linked together. Alex pecked Piper's lips a few times.
"I have wanted to do that the whole day," Alex said as she gained composure and her breathing back to normal.
"Me too" they both smiled and pulled apart.
"Ooh, I have red wine. Care for some babe?" Alex said and reached in her top cupboard and retrieved the drink.
"Babe?" hmm
"What? You do not like it. I'm sorry I won't use it again," Alex said quickly.
"No Al I love it. It is just that no one has ever called me 'babe' or 'Pipes' before, only you which is why I like it a lot. I have always been 'Pipe' or 'Pipi' to some kids or in case of my mom she calls me 'Bumblebee'" Piper said and covered her eyes waiting for Alex to laugh but it never came. She uncovered them and looked at Alex only to find a look of adoration.
"I like 'Bumblebee'. It suits. So don't be shocked when I call you 'BB' next time" Alex said and smiled.
"You are the first one to not laugh at my nickname, thanks Al and yes I would like some wine please" Alex took two glasses and poured them some wine but also took the bottle with her to the sitting room.
They said down with Alex's hand behind the couch and Piper cuddled into her. She placed her head on Alex's chest and they both sighed contently.
"So can I please come with you to buy groceries?" Piper asked Alex without removing her head from Alex's chest.
"Of course Pipes, but it's just grocery shopping. Nothing fun in that". Alex said with a chuckle.
"I don't care Al as long as I get to spend time with you" Piper looked up at Alex and they smiled at each other. They decided to watch some television while cuddling and sipping on their wine in silence. Piper broke the silence first.
"So Al, I will be leaving on Wednesday afternoon to go back to Manhattan" Piper said and raised her head from Alex's chest while the latter sighed because she knew this conversation was coming.
"I know Pipes and I am not looking forward to that day because we just started what we have and even though we don't want to be far from each other we don't have a choice," Alex said sadly.
"It's okay for now until we decide on what we will do in terms of moving, we will talk on the phone. There is FaceTime too," Piper said trying to lighten up the mood. Then she remembered Alex's phone (She was just able to send text and receive calls) and the fact that she does not have a laptop.
"Come on lets go shopping" Piper stood up and held out her hand for Alex to take.
"I'm quickly going to the bathroom first," Alex said as she headed in the direction of the bathroom.
Piper called the car company to request for a car and specifically asked for a new driver in case Larry did not do as she told him.
Alex came out fifteen minutes later, they went out, and Alex was shocked to find the car waiting for them but was glad there was no Larry.
Alex thought they were just going to go to Walmart and get some food but was shocked when Piper led her to the 'Incredible Gadgets Store' and they searched around for a bit. Alex saw the prices and swallowed heavily. Things are expensive and since she needs to save up, she cannot afford to waste money on electronic devices.
Pipe asked her which phone and laptop she liked but Alex shook her head.
"No ways Piper I can't afford to buy any of these things. They cause more than what I make in two weeks if I'm lucky and got tips," Alex said while shaking her head.
"Please al I will pay for them. I just want us to be able to FaceTime and chat as often as we can" Piper said pleadingly
"No Piper I can't expect you to do this for me. I mean how will I even pay you back?" Alex asked while running her hand through her black hair.
"Please let me do this Al. like I said before, I don't mind sharing my money with you and if you were sure about being with me you going to have to get used to this because I come with it. You promised me you were okay Al now please let me spend it with you or on you" Piper knew she was blackmailing Alex emotionally but she really want Alex to be comfortable with her money.
"It will take me time Pipes and the fact that I can't afford to buy you expensive gifts doesn't sit well with me though. I mean…" Alex said sadly.
"Please Al can we just buy so we could talk more about this in private?" Piper said as she saw the store consultant approaching them.
"Okay" Alex reluctantly said. Piper bought her all Apple products as the Phone was on contract, an Apple iPhone XS Max 256GB, then she got her an Apple iPad (6th gen) 9.7" Wi-Fi + Cellular 128GB and an Apple MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Dual-Core i5 13" 128GB, all black in colour of course. Piper was going to pay the monthly fee for now until Alex could afford to.
They left and went to Walmart to buy grocery and Alex has to learn that Piper is very meticulous with what she buys and only buys organic. They got more grocery than what Alex would usually get and Piper quickly paid before Alex could protest and they left to return to the apartment.
…..
"Thanks for all this Pipes, I don't even know how I will ever repay you" Alex said as they sat on the couch.
"You're welcome Al and there is no need to thank me. I am glad you let me do this because I know it is not easy for you. But please believe me that I do not mind doing this for you because I really like you and want to share everything with you"
Alex was speechless and had tears in her eyes but did not let them fall. She cannot believe that just over a month ago, she was alone, except for Nicky and her mom, in her apartment barely making ends meet and now there comes such a beautiful blue-eyed blonde angel who made her life upside down in a good way.
Piper used her Username to login to her Netflix account so they could watch something on Alex's new MacBook before they head to bed. Piper made a mental note to buy Alex smart TV's for the sitting area and bedroom and subscribe her to Netflix but she will do this when she is back in Manhattan so Alex will not refuse.
The cuddled on the couch and watched 'Game of Thrones' but decided to go to bed around 23h00 pm. Alex gave Piper a set of clothes to change into then the blonde remembered something.
"You know Al I still have the set of clothes you borrowed me when I first came here but just saw you know I'm not planning on returning them. They're already in Manhattan." Piper said with a yawn and slipped into bed while Alex chuckled.
"Don't worry you can keep them pipes" Alex said with a chuckle at how cute Piper is right now. Alex got into the left side of the bed and cuddled Piper and the latter rested her head on Alex's chest.
"So soft… hmm" Piper said lazily in a voice hazed with sleep. Alex just chuckled at this.
"Goodnight Pipes"
"Goodnight Al"
