Alex and Piper emerge from the office holding hands to the sounds of Auld Lang Syne being played on the piano, by Brooke and people giving friends and lovers hugs and kisses to ring in the New Year. Nicky spots the pair and nudges Lorna with her elbow. "Hey Vause there you are! Where'd you disappear to? As if I didn't already know.." Nicky teases with a knowing wink. Piper blushes slightly and puts her forehead on Alex's shoulder.

"It's not what you think Nicky, and anyway it's none of your business." Alex scoffs.

"Okay I'll admit to it not being any of my business, but as for the 'it's not what I think' part- Blondie's face is telling me a different story," Nicky jabs back.

Alex pulls Piper closer, raises her eyebrow in her signature smirk, and whispers, "You know Pipes, they say that whatever you are doing at midnight on New Year's Eve is what you'll be doing for the rest of the year…"

"Is that a fact?" Piper teases. Alex nods, "Yeah"

"Then I guess I'll be having lots of orgasms and your tongue will be very busy!"

"We'll see about that," Alex laughs and pulls Piper closer for a kiss.

"Hey I wanted to reciprocate, but you said we needed to get back out here to celebrate the New Year with everyone—I promise I would have been just as happy going down on you in the office!"

When the song ends, Alex whispers in Piper's ear, "I'm going to hold you to that promise later…" then stands up on the bar and taps a fork against a glass to get everyone's attention.

"Happy New Year Everyone! I'm Alex and I am the owner here at Three Doors Down. I see many of you that I recognize who are regulars here as well as some new faces that I hope to see more of in the coming year. So as my way of saying thank you…FREE CHAMPAGNE FOR EVERYONE!- AND sparkling grape juice for all the designated drivers."

Cheers erupt from the crowd while Alex, Nicky, Lorna, Janae, and Brooke begin pouring flutes of champagne and grape juice.

"Al, I'm going to go find Polly" Piper shouts over the crowd to Alex.

"Okay babe, I'll be there in a few minutes after I finish helping with the champagne. Save a toast for me okay?"

Piper smiles and heads toward Polly and Pete who are kissing near the pool tables.

"Piper! Where were you? I was looking for you during the countdown. I'm so sorry about Larry, I stupidly told him we would be here, but I didn't think he would actually show up and make an ass out of himself!" Polly rants as Piper sidles up to her best friend with a glass of sparkling grape juice and two glasses of champagne.

"Hey Polly, don't worry about it," Piper answers handing Polly the grape juice and Pete the other glass of champagne. "No real harm done."

"Really?! I thought you were pissed at me when I couldn't find you at midnight…Hey I know that look on your face! It's your just been fucked face!" Piper's face turns red, and she just smiles. "I'm right aren't I? Jeez you two fuck like jack rabbits! It should be illegal to have sex as much as you guys!"

"Jealous Polly?" Alex chuckles as she sneaks up behind Piper giving her a pinch on the ass and a kiss on her neck. Piper jumps and playfully slaps Alex's hand away from her butt. Alex wraps her arms around the blonde's waist and pulls her close. "Congrats on the engagement…and the baby by the way. So when's the big day?"

"Well we want to get married as soon as possible, you know before I start to show so I was thinking sometime in February…Piper thinks we should do it on Valentine's Day."

"Of course you should get married on Valentine's Day! It's the most romantic day of the year! Plus you can pretty much guarantee that Pete will NEVER forget your anniversary!" Piper squeals.

Alex laughs, "That's going to be a lot of work for you two then," glancing from Piper to Polly, "Valentine's Day is six weeks away!"

"As maid of honor, I am up to the task!" Piper shrieks. "To Polly and Pete!" Piper shouts holding up her glass for a toast.

Polly, Pete, and Alex all hold their glasses up and clink them with Piper's. The two couples laugh and chat some more before heading back to the dance floor. Piper begins to grind against Alex while the brunette holds her from behind. The couple's bodies move together perfectly as Piper spins around and wraps her arms around her girlfriend's neck. Piper loves being this close to Alex and is savoring the moment when she notices a red head in the corner checking the brunette out. A sudden pang of jealousy comes over her and she wants to make sure this red head, whoever she is, knows that Alex is taken. Piper continues to eye the girl in the corner and slowly grinds her hips as she bends her knees and slides down Alex's body and back up again before giving her a kiss on the neck finally whispering, "Hey Al, there's a red head staring at you over there. Do you know her?"

Alex continues to dance, but slightly moves Piper around so she can see the girl the blonde is talking about. "No, I've never seen her before, maybe she just thinks I'm hot," Alex teases with a smirk.

"Well she can look all she wants, but if she tries to hit on you—I will smack a bitch down!"

"Simmer down there Pipes, even if she did hit on me, I wouldn't be interested because I am already with the hottest girl in the room," Alex chuckles and gives Piper a hot kiss to prove her point.

"What do you say we get out of here so you can keep your promise from earlier..." Alex murmurs in Piper's ear.

"I thought you'd never ask!"

Piper quickly says goodbye to Polly and Pete, while Alex heads to the bar to make sure Nicky knows she's on lock up duty tonight. Alex grabs Piper's hand and practically drags her out the door and to her apartment building. Once in the elevator, Piper can't wait to pleasure her girlfriend so she pushes her against the wall and slides her hand up Alex's dress to her throbbing pussy. Pushing the brunette's panties aside, Piper glides her fingers through Alex's folds earning a low moan from the older woman. Piper is pleased at how wet Alex is already and continues her ministrations until they finally arrive at Alex's floor. After the door is unlocked, Piper takes control again pushing Alex inside and onto the small table near the door. Unwilling to wait any longer to taste Alex's hot pussy, Piper kneels in front of the table and pulls her underwear down her long beautiful legs. Pushing her legs apart, Piper dives in licking and sucking Alex's core until the raven haired woman is gasping with ecstasy. Slowly Piper kisses her way up until she is standing in front of Alex. Licking her lips and chin to get all of Alex's juices Piper whispers, "You taste so good babe, I could eat you for every meal!"

A/N Sorry this chapter took longer, I have a lot going on with work right now. I am not entirely happy with this chapter, but I wanted to get it posted. I think the next chapter will involve a time jump maybe to Polly and Pete's wedding and Valentine's Day. If any readers have any suggestions about what they would like to see happen I will try to incorporate them if I can. Thanks for reading as always and I always appreciate reviews.
