CHAPTER 3

"Okay guys so today we are catching up with Alex and Piper and see how they have been since our episode together." They Skyped with Alex…

"Hi Alex! How are you?" Dan greeted Alex while Olivia waved to the screen.

"Hey guys! I am good thanks and you guys?" Alex was smiling through the screen.

"Good. So how have you been since the last time we saw you?" Dan asked

"And why do you look so chipper?" Olivia added

"Well I have been good, no better, great even. I am so happy guys. I might not have found Silvia but I have found someone so much better." Alex's smile reached her eyes.

"Well we are glad to hear that. Are we going to find out whom it is?" Dan asked.

"I guess if you want to know. Babe want to come say hi over here?" Alex called out while facing the side where the person is supposed to appear from.

"Hi guys!"

"Well what do you know, hey there Piper. How is it going? I guess you guys saved us the trouble of having to contact two people all at one huh." Dan said making everyone laugh.

"You're right and I have been great thanks for asking." Piper replied with a grin on her face.

"An update on what happened to this day guys?" Olivia asked.

"Well guys after the show Piper and I continued to talk and since Piper had turned 21 she was free to move out as per her parents will. She had planned to move to LA long before the show so she moved here about a month ago and instead of her finding an apartment we thought why not give moving in a try because it felt right since we felt like we have know each other for a long time and since then all has been great." Alex kissed Piper's temple as she sat on her lap facing the screen.

"Aw you guys are so cute. I feel like I am watching a romantic comedy." Olivia said with a fake sniffle.

"We are happy for you guys and please take care.

…88888888888888888888888….

"I still remember it like it was yesterday. I can't believe it's been over a year already. I love you so much Pipes." Alex said while they laid on their couch and where watching their episode of catfish the show.

"Me too. I love you too Al. I am so happy right now." Piper who was laying besides Alex responded.

They were called on the show again just to check on how they are and to celebrate the 10th birthday of the show so they selected some of their favourite episodes and the Vauseman were one of the chosen as it got many reviews.

"Are you excited about tomorrow?" Alex laid her head on the armrest of the couch and pulled Piper so that she was now laying on top of her.

"Yes I can't wait. I mean all thanks to CATFISH we got together." Piper said as she nuzzled into her lovers neck.

"I think that no matter what we would still be sitting here on this couch like this because it's meant to be." Alex rubbed Piper's back softly.

"Doomed to be together. But I am glad I had found you Al, you have given me so much and thank you for teaching me the true meaning of love. I love you so much." Piper said sincerely with her eyes shining with tears. Alex was touched and she didn't trust her voice so she pulled Piper into a deep kiss filled with passion and love. The kiss turned into a small make-out session.

"I love too Pipes and we both taught each other the true meaning of love. Now let's go to bed so we could wake up early for the show. I mean the both of us know that someone becomes miss grumpy pants when she has to wake up." Alex teased and Piper hit her lightly on the arm.

"Ow! Violent much Pipes." Alex feigned hurt. They sat up on the couch and Alex picked up Piper bridal style and carried her to their room.

"Mmm I love it when you carry me like this." Piper said sleepily with her head in Alex's neck and her breath made Alex shiver slightly.

"And I love carrying you like this but keep that up and I am going to drop you." Alex said while not stopping her journey to their room though.

"What did I do?" Piper feigned innocence.

"You know what. Just keep it up and you will see." Alex reached their bedroom and gently laid Piper on the bed while she searched for pyjamas for them to sleep in. She tossed some to Piper and took some for herself.

"And who said I need pyjamas?" Piper asked seductively.

"Pipes we can't. You and I both know you are tired. You have been working so hard studying for your exams. I promise you that tomorrow after the show it's just going to be me and you." Alex finished getting dressed and got into the left side of the bed.

Piper changed into her sleeping clothes and got into her side of the bed and cuddled into her lover's arms.

"I love laying into your arms like this. It makes me feel safe." Piper whispered into Alex's neck.

"And I love having you in my arms you sap." Alex said teasingly and kissed Piper's top of the head.

"Goodnight Pipes"

"Goodnight Al." and just like that they both fell asleep.

…..8.8.8….… 8.8 .8.8…..88…8….

"Oh yes. Mmm Al right there. Don't stop."

"Oh Al I'm going to cum"

"Al I'm Cumming, I'm Cumming, I'm Cumming."

"Mmm show don't tell" Alex said as she emerged from underneath the comforter. She pulled Piper into a passionate kiss.

"Mmm good morning Pipes."

"A very good morning indeed. That was a nice wakeup call I don't mind having everyday." Piper said still feeling sleepy still but content at the same time.

"Well I knew that you weren't going to wake up any time soon so I had to improvise." Alex said with a smirk.

"Mmm can I have my breakfast too?" Piper asked seductively into Alex's ear and then lightly nibbling on it.

"Mmm Pipes as much as I want to we can't. We have to be out in an hour and someone always hogs the shower and if we take a shower together we won't be getting out anytime soon." Alex teased and Piper pointed but she was fighting a smile from adorning her face. She was just really happy and she never thought that she ever would be after what had happened to her the previous year after losing her parents.

…88...88….888...8888…..FLASHBACK….…88…..88…8888…

"This is going to be your room Piper. You should be grateful you know. If it wasn't for how my neighbours would think of me you would not be here understand?"

"Yes Mrs Jefferson. Thank you." Piper replied while looking at her feet.

"Why can't we just give her the basement mom? She belongs with the rats there anyway." Silvia asked with an annoyed expression.

"Because, Silvia what will our friends think of us if they see her in there. We have standards to uphold. Okay Piper you will help around the house with chores. The only thing we will help you thither is a phone bill and fuel for your car. Nothing more. Understand?" Mrs Jefferson asked sternly.

"Yes Mrs Jefferson." Piper was still facing down while her eyes shown with tears.

"Good. And you should look at me when I talk to you." Mrs Jefferson left the room with her daughter tailing from behind but threw daggers at Piper before leaving.

Piper was given a tiny room way up at the top of the house. It was not cleaned nor painted. People don't often reach that far during a tour so it was convenient for the Jefferson. The was a double bed on the corner with a mirror on the other corner and a small closet.

Piper helped with all the chores as best as she could while balancing her school work. Her clothes where getting old but they never bought her new ones. Only those she was allowed to wear to dinner when they had guests and not many people knew about Piper staying there

Silvia and her friends bullied Piper to no end. She was always closed up in the library because that's where they could never find her since they hated it.

Silvia even wrote most of the staff on Piper's letter for the show, CATFISH when Piper was apologising.

… ….. … …. End of flashback… ….. .. ..

"Earth to Piper. What are you thinking about?" Alex asked while soothing Piper's back with circular motions of her hand.

"Just life and how happy I am right now." Piper responded but Alex knew that when Piper went this quiet she was thinking about her past.

"I am happy too. We really need to get up now, come on." Alex sat up and pulled Piper with her. She went to make breakfast while Piper took a shower. They had breakfast and Alex went to take a shower while Piper got dressed. Alex still managed to get ready before Piper and they were out the door in time.
