Chapter 21: Change of Plans
"Man today was emotionally draining. I just want to freshen up and cuddle with you babe." Piper said as they entered the house.
"True and it made me realise how lucky I am to have you, your family, Nicky and my mom in my life." Alex said as she followed Piper to the bedroom. They took a shower together and washed each other so slowly just to savour the moment. Today it was not about sex but wanting to be closer to each other. They got out and went to bed naked and cuddled all night.
They decided to wake up in the morning so they could spend time with Diane before they had to leave in the afternoon.
"Good morning girls. Breakfast is ready."
"Good morning Diane"
"Good morning ma,"
"I can't believe you girls are going back. I am going to miss you."
"We will miss you too mom. We will visit you again too and maybe you could also come for a visit"
"Yes that will be awesome Diane. We could take you site seeing."
They finished their breakfast and Piper insisted on cleaning up since Diane made them breakfast, so Alex was left with her mom on the breakfast bar and they decided to move to the front porch.
"You really found yourself a keeper kid. I am happy for you." Diane said while looking out into space.
"I know, thanks mom. I am happy. Happy as I had ever been and sometimes it feels so surreal that she chose me whilst she could have anyone she wants." Alex said sighing and sinking further into the chair.
"Don't sell yourself short Alley cat. You both deserve each other and she would be missing out if she did not choose you. However, on a serious note, I love her. She is good for you. I mean come one she got my badass daughter whipped" Diane said and laughed.
"Mom stop okay I am not whipped," Alex tried to act mad but could not fight the smile creeping on her face.
"I am going to miss you mom"
"I will miss you too baby."
They spend the day with Diane at the park and accompanied her to do some grocery shopping since they have cooked a lot while they visited. In the afternoon they went back home.

Everything had been back to normal in the Chapman household and everyone was back onto their schedules. It is almost May and Alex is due to write her semester exams, Cal, and Nery planned to get married around August.
Today was a Friday late afternoon and Alex and Piper had been on the rooftop garden planning their weekend while cuddling on the sofa under a gazebo.
"What do you want to do tomorrow Al? We will have the whole house to ourselves because my brother and his fiancé are went to visit Nerie's parents for the coming two weeks and mom is flying out to the UK for a week tomorrow." Piper asked as she nestled underneath Alex's chin, on her chest.
"Well… I could think of a few things that will surely keep us busy." Alex said seductively.
"Mmm, like what?" Piper played along to Alex's banter as she responded with a seductive tone too.
"Like sleeping the whole day," Alex said in a serious tone and face while looking at Piper and the latter was shocked as to how the conversation moved from all flirty and seductive to this.
"Ha haa haaa haaaa haaaaa haaaaaaaaaa" Alex busted out laughing at the horrified look on Piper's face and the latter hit Alex lightly on the arm.
"It's not funny Al." However, she could not stop smiling
"Oh but it is. You should've seen your face babe." Piper just decided to kiss Alex to shut her up and it worked because Alex was now kissing back with so much passion. Alex held onto Piper's head and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss. They pulled apart when the need for air became a necessity.
"Now if this is how you will shut me up then I need to start talking a lot more often now." Alex said with a smile while her forehead rested on Piper's.
"And I wouldn't mind shutting you up." They smiled at this and pecked each other's lips a few times before pulling apart and Piper taking her previous position by Alex's chest.
"How about we do a random, unplanned date tomorrow? I mean soon I will be busy with exams that we won't get enough time to do a lot of things so now is the perfect time." Alex suggested after a few minutes passed between them.
"I like that idea. Just go out and explore without a plan. I had never done it before though."
"Me neither. Great it's settled then."
"Pipes"
"Mmm"
"You never told me about the other thing that happened at your interviews when I went to register because you had to leave for New York."
"Wow Al. I had even forgotten about that." Piper chuckled into Alex's chest and it made the black-haired women's heart swell.
"Yeah well I had forgotten but then when we talk about random unplanned things I just remembered your trip that day." Alex circled her arms around Piper and hugged her closer.
"Well Emily from the Daily Dose showed up for an interview and was shocked to see me. She couldn't even say any word, like a fish out of the water."
"Oh my word. That was fucked up. I guess it was a good thing that I was not there because I was going to smack the shit out of her for burning you with coffee and be so smug about it. Then what did you do babe?" Alex kissed Piper's heard as she said this.
"Well I told her karma is a bitch and to never come back into my building."
"Good for you Pipes." They stayed out here for a few hours before they went back to freshen up for dinner. Today the whole chapman's staff had a day off to go attend for their own needs so they ordered pizza.
"Are you girls going to be okay to have the whole house to yourselves? I mean it won't be the same with everyone gone." Carol asked referring to the fact that the whole staff will be back Sunday afternoon.
"Yes mom we will be fine and besides we won't be alone. The security will be there." Piper said as she munched on her Pepperoni pizza.
"Okay but be safe and Alex honey all the best with your exam since I won't be around when you start. I will see you girls in a week's time. I will be leaving very early tomorrow so I will not see you. Goodnight."
"Thank you Carol. Goodnight." Alex said sincerely looking at Carol.
"Goodnight mom. Have a safe trip. "
"Love you girls."
"Love you too."
Carol went to bed and left the two lovebirds alone. Piper was so focused on the slice of pizza that she did not even notice Alex looking at her. She had source all over her mouth and cheeks like a kid.
"Damn she is so adorable." Alex thought to herself.
"What are you looking at Al? I can feel your eyes burning holes on my face." Piper said without even looking at Alex.
Flash, "Hey knock it off," Piper tried to pry Alex's phone so she could delete the picture.
"What Pipes. I just want to remember this day in the future and of course have something to blackmail you with." Alex said trying to get away from Piper's prying hands with success all thanks to her long arms.
"Okay lets heard to bed. We got a long day ahead of us tomorrow," Alex said after they finished eating and cleared up everything while holding her hand out for Piper to take.
They freshened up and Alex got into the right side of the bed and opened the blankets for Piper to slip right in so they could cuddle.
"Al can I be the big spoon tonight?" Piper asked sweetly but Alex was confused because she is always the big spoon.
"Why Pipes? Is everything alright babe?" Alex asked in a soft loving voice laced with concern for her lover and Piper loved it.
"Nothing is wrong Al and I love being in your arms but I just want to feel how it is like to hold your lover in your arms all night. I guess you can say I am curious." Piper said with a shrug but the both of them knew the depth of those words and they just felt more love for each other.
"Okay Pipes, it's going to be a bit awkward for me at first but let's do it." Alex said while sitting up to Allow for Piper to lie down first and get comfortable before she slept in from of her. At first, they were facing each other so they could say their good night.
"I love you Al, forever and always." Both of them went quiet and looked into each other's eyes reading the unsaid promises for the future. Forever was a promise for a very long committed future together and both felt the same way. Alex pulled Piper in a passionate kiss, which turned into a make-out session.
"I love you too Pipes, forever and always" Alex sealed their promise and she turned around so that her back was in Piper's front. Alex actually enjoyed being held by Piper and it made her feel safe. Piper also loved holding Alex in her arms, she felt like she was holding the most important piece of her life so precious she did not want to ever lose. They were both content and felt like they had the world at their feet.
Alex was the first one to wake excessively early so she could surprise Piper with breakfast in bed and a romantic morning. She headed to the kitchen and whipped up some French toast, scrambled eggs, beacon and blueberry pancakes while coffee brewed.
"Oh good morning Alex, I thought I was going to leave while you guys were still asleep. Mmm it smells good in here." Carol said as she entered the kitchen thinking she would just grab an apple for the road.
"Good morning Carol. Yeah I thought I should surprise Piper with breakfast and there is more than enough for you too." Alex said with a blush creeping at her neck at being caught being all sappy.
"Oh there is nothing to be embarrassed about honey. That is so sweet of you and thank you for breakfast. I am actually going to eat right now because it smells so delicious even though I planned on having just an apple," Carol said as she said on the breakfast bar with a chuckle as Alex placed a plate in front of her and some coffee.
"Wow Alex this is the best breakfast I had ever had but don't tell Mrs Thompson" they both laughed at this.
"Thanks and don't worry my lips are sealed" Alex was glad with how her relationship with Carol was, all good and she was now comfortable to be left alone in a room with her.
"No but seriously you are really good. I guess you have a lot of options career wise should you get bored of the one you have. Oh, look at the time I will be late if I do not leave now. Please tell Piper I had left and you guys call if you need anything. I love you bye."
Hearing Carol saying 'I love you' to her never ceased to amaze her and it made her heart flutter because she never had this kind of relationship with any of her previous partners parents and if for anything they loathed her saying she turned their kids gay.
"I love you too and travel safe." They shared a short hug and Carol kissed Alex's cheek and headed for the door. Alex's day was already good and it started with a high note.
Piper woke up and reached out for her girlfriends but no one was there and it felt so cold indicating the person had been awake for quite a while so she sat up and stretched before turning and throw her legs over the edge of the bed. She saw a sticky note shaped into a heart and read with a smile on her face.
Good morning sleepy head
Please come to the rooftop once you
Had decided to join the world
Of the living , I got a surprise for you.
p.s. Just wear a rope and nothing else.
Piper was so excited that she got rid of the nighties she slept in and wore the rope Alex laid out for her and slip-on shoes. She had a smile plastered on her face all this time. As she got inside the lift, she found another sticky note.
You probably cannot wait to
Find out what the surprise is
In addition, probably have that crazy
Grin plastered on your face.
I love you so much
Moreover, cannot wait for our date.
Piper laughed as she realised Alex was right about her grin and she felt even more in love with the person that seems to know her more than she knows herself. She held the note to her hear and sight contently as she anxiously waited for the lift to take her to her lover.
When the lift opened Piper's breath hitched as she saw the most beautiful site ever. Alex was sitting in one of the garden chairs with her legs up and her knees tucked under her chin with a cup of coffee in her hand, her hair was in a messy bun and the sun shone on her pale skin with no make-up on.
Oh, such beauty for sore eyes and Piper felt a physical ache in her heart with the amount of love she had for Alex, it felt like her heart was going to burst. She held her hand to her heart and felt like she was going to tear up with so many emotions skyrocketing in her tiny body and Alex had yet noticed her.
Piper went on to wrap her arms around Alex's shoulders and as the latter looked up she was met with a pair of lips against her own with an emotional most hear warming kiss.
"Mmm good morning Pipes. What was that for? Not that I am complaining of course" Alex moaned into the kiss and went on to place her cup by the table.
"Good morning Al. I didn't know I need a reason to kiss my girlfriend" Piper teased Alex
"No you don't Pipes but that was one hell of a kiss." They smiled at each other and Alex pulled Piper from behind her so she could sit on her lap.
"I just love you Al and you looked so beautiful I couldn't resist" Alex did not know how to respond to that than to kiss Piper with all that she got. They pulled apart breathless and rested their foreheads together.
"I love you too Pipes." Alex pecked Piper's lips a few times and pulled apart before things got hot and out of control
"Okay Pipes lets have breakfast before it gets cold." Alex uncovered the food and Poured Piper coffee from the flask. Piper reluctantly moved from Alex's lap and sat on the chair next to Alex and they started eating.
"Mmm Al this is the best breakfast I had ever had, but don't tell Mrs Thompson" Piper said with a mouth full and Alex laughed at this.
"What is it Al. I am telling the truth. Are you making fun of me?" Piper pouted.
"No babe I am not making fun of you, it's just funny because your mom said the same exact thing earlier on" Piper was shocked at this.
"Wait you saw my mom? At what time did you get up Al?"
"I have been up since 04:00 am. I had to get up early for this surprise I have in stores for you." Alex pointed to something covered in a white sheet and it is only now that Piper noticed it. She had gotten lost in Alex's eyes and everything else was just background.
"Oh what is it? Can I please see it" Piper was jumping in her seat and she was so happy with her whole face lighting up that Alex was sure she could light up the whole of Manhattan.
"Finish your breakfast first and then yes you can open it since it's your surprise." Piper tried to finish her breakfast fast
"Al it's now 05:20 am, you have been up for a while now. Are you not feeling tired?" Piper asked with concern after a few minutes.
"I am good Pipes. I could sleep so it's okay." They ate in silence and were finished in no time, much too Piper's delight. Alex sipped on her coffee oh so excruciatingly slow just to keep Piper on her toes and the latter kept bouncing her legs in anticipation.
"Oh come on Al. please finish up so I could see the surprise." Piper could not take it anymore; her patience was running on a thin strand. Alex laughed at Piper's antics and decided not to torture her anymore.
"Okay Pipes lets go see." Alex chuckled lightly.
Behind the sheet, the was a bathtub surrounded with rose petals around and inside the water with some foam. There was a small table on the side with towels and a small bowl with some strawberries covered in chocolate. Piper's hands covered her eyes
"Oh my word Al this is so beautiful. I love it and I love you. How did you even get this up here because I know the helpers are not around?"
Piper said with so much love and a bit of curiosity. She could not believe that it was possible to love someone more than she did Alex and it seems to keep on growing more that she thought was possible.
"Well let's just say I owe the security guards a month's worth of breakfast" Alex chuckled as she pulled Piper into her arms and kissed her slow and lazily.
"I love you too Pipes." Alex untied Piper's rope and let it fall on the floor and Piper did the same for Alex. Alex got into the bath first and Piper followed suit in front of Alex and surprisingly, the water was warm and all thanks to the warm weather all was good.
"This is so nice and amazing Al. I cannot believe I had never thought of it. Maybe we should have a jacuzzi here."
"I'm glad you like it Pipes. A jacuzzi sounds nice because this place we are far from any prying eyes and we can still see cars coming though the gate." Alex said as she took the sponge inside the water and started to wash Piper's back and the blonde-haired woman could not help but moan.
"Mmm that feels so good Al." there was nothing sexual about this actions; just lovers have an intimate moment while taking a bath in a beautiful weather. Alex kissed Piper's shoulder.
They enjoyed their bath with a few kisses here and there. They got out, wrapped themselves in the towels, and applied lotions before heading in the house to get ready for their day. They decided to wear casual and Piper had on grey leggings that drove Alex crazy with a white tank top and a cardigan on top. Alex had on black skinny jeans that hugged her curves with a grey long-sleeved shirt.
"Pipes are you sure you want to go on the date? I mean we could always change plans and stay indoors, order pizza and watch some movies and do other things." Alex said while eyeing Piper in the leggings and Piper saw her on the reflection of the mirror and smiled a bit flustered. She loved the fact that she had this effect on her girlfriend. She chuckled before responding.
"Oh come on Al of course I want to go out." Alex moved behind Piper and held her ass firmly, then softly massaged it so lightly in a teasing manner that drove Piper crazy. Alex leaned to Piper's ear and whispered in a hoarse, husked and lust filled voice.
"Are you sure about that, cant I change your mind." Alex bit on Piper's earlobe and blew hot air on it. Piper shivered, moaned, and out went their plans. Piper turned and pulled Alex in a heated kiss as they moved backwards without disconnecting their lips until Piper's legs hit the bed and Alex sat her down as she took off her clothes.
In no time, both of them were naked and Piper was still seated on the edge of the bed with Alex standing in between her legs…
