Piper locked her phone, before she placed it down on the counter. She quickly fixed her pajama pants, and tank top, along with her hair before she made her way to the front door. She thought it was weird that the security at her front gate didn't inform her someone was heading up her driveway, but quickly dismissed it, as she opened her front door and was taken aback by the person standing there before she asked "What are you doing here?"
Even as Piper asked the question she was still surprised to see the person standing there, not only because she knew she didn't have plans with them, but also because of what time it was. "I came to congratulate you." Alex said with a smile, as she looked Piper over who was standing there looking incredibly adorable in her pajama pants, tank top, and her semi messy hair.
"Congratulate me on what?" Piper asked confused as she watched Alex's eyes not so secretly check her out.
"Did you not see the headline?" Alex asked with a smile and Piper just nodded her head too enticed with that gorgeous smile. "Then you know my team and I have decided to make that movie about your husband's case, you guys are going to be rich" Alex began but then paused and then looked around the front entrance since she still hadn't been invited in and then added "Well more than you already are." Though as Alex was telling Piper all this, the dark haired woman could tell that blonde wasn't listening. "Piper?" Alex asked trying to get the woman's attention.
Quickly Piper broke out of her trance, she was too focused on Alex's lips than the words that were coming out of her mouth. "Yeah, that's great." Piper said as she felt her cheeks blush.
Alex watched Piper turned red and let out a chuckle "You didn't hear a word I said did you?" Alex asked.
Piper nodded her head "Yeah I did."
Once again Alex let out a chuckle as she said "Right" before she added "So is this how you treat guests? Or are you going to let me in?"
Piper rolled her eyes before she stepped aside and welcomed Alex into her home, and led her into the formal living room. "So can I get you anything?" Piper asked once Alex took a seat.
Alex shook her head "Nope I am fine, but thanks" Alex told her with a smile before she added "But there is a couple things I would like to discuss with you."
Piper nodded her head as she excused herself "Okay, well I will be right back, I just want to go and get my coffee." Piper told her and Alex just smiled and watched Piper walk out of the room.
As Piper was getting her coffee from the kitchen, Alex took this time to look around the formal living room, where she saw many pictures of Piper with her kids, but not too many with her husband, except for their wedding photo. "Having fun?" Piper asked a few minutes later, when she walked back into her formal living room, and saw Alex looking at the photos on the walls from the couch.
"Just admiring your beautiful family" Alex told her with a smile before she asked "You and Larry don't take many photo's together do you?" Piper clenched her jaw which didn't go unnoticed by Alex, "Sorry I didn't mean…" Alex began but Piper cut her off.
"No you are fine, but no we don't. He's hardly ever home, it's mostly the kids and I." Piper told her as she sat down on the couch and placed her coffee mug on the coffee table.
Alex just nodded her head but before she could say anything Piper asked "So what did you wish to discuss?"
"Straight to business, I like that in a woman" Alex said with a smug smile before she added "Well I have a job opportunity for you." Alex told her and Piper looked at her confused.
"A job offer?" Piper asked as she picked up her coffee mug and took a sip.
Alex nodded her head as she asked "You did say you went to Yale right?"
Now Piper was even more confused, "Yeah and majored in Literature, not fashion, or film." Piper told her.
Alex smiled "Yes but you graduated Magna Cum Laude did you not?" Alex asked.
Now Piper was even more confused, because she knew she didn't tell Alex that. "How did you know that?" Piper asked.
"I overheard you the other night at the party." Alex told her and then quickly added "I wasn't ease dropping or anything."
Piper nodded her head "Right"
"I wasn't; I swear" Alex smiled.
Piper smiled back before she asked "So what does me graduating Magna cum Laude from Yale with a degree in Literature have to do with what you do for a living?" Piper asked as she once again took a sip of coffee.
"Well since you are so persistent and straight to the point, I am here to offer you a chance to write a movie script for me." Alex came right out and told her.
Piper almost choked on her coffee, who quickly put the mug back down and cleared her throat before she said "Excuse me?"
Alex smiled "You heard me correctly, so what do you say?" Alex asked.
Piper's eyes went wide as she took in this offer before she asked "Don't you have people for that?"
Alex nodded her head "Yes but I wanted to give you a chance" Alex told her with a shrug of her shoulder.
"And if I say no?" Piper asked
"Well then at least I tried" Alex said before she added smugly "But I don't think you will."
Piper laughed "And what makes you so sure?"
"Because I am sure you want something more in your life than being just a trophy wife." Alex told her in a matter of fact tone, as if she was telling her the weather.
Piper's jaw dropped when she heard the words come out of the woman's mouth who was sitting next to on the couch. "And what makes you think I am a nothing more than a trophy wife?" Piper asked with a scoff.
Alex just gave her a look as she said "Oh please, I saw the way Larry showed you off to all the guests, and then quickly forgot about you"
"Well you are wrong." Piper said a bit hastily.
"If you say so, but I am just stating what I noticed, and I know how to read people Piper, and I know you want something more." Alex told her once again.
Both women were silent for a few minutes, before Piper finally spoke again "Fine I will think about it." Piper told her with a smile, and Alex just smiled back before Piper asked "Now what was the other thing you wanted to discuss?"
"Are you sure?" Alex asked with a smile
Piper rolled her eyes "Oh just get on with it." Piper told her with a smile.
"It's about your daughter" Alex said and Piper just laughed.
"Which one?" Piper asked once again rolling her eyes.
"Helena" Alex said quickly and Piper just looked at her.
"What about Helena, did she come on to you at the party?" Piper asked jokingly.
Alex laughed "No she didn't, but I was quite draw by her personality." Alex told her as Piper just looked at her.
"Oh whatever you are thinking, the answer is no." Piper told her with a smile.
Alex smiled back "You don't even know what I am thinking"
"Yes I do, and my answer is no." Piper smiled back
Alex looked deep into Piper's eyes and then decided to test her "Okay what am I thinking?"
"You are not dating my daughter" Piper said jokingly before she added "You're right I don't know what you are thinking."
Alex let out a laugh as she said to Piper with a wink "Don't worry I have my eye on someone else right now."
Piper rolled her eyes as she asked "So what about my daughter?"
Alex thought about how she wanted to ask this, but then decided just to be blunt about it "What if I offered her a lead role in a movie I am going to direct and produce, what would you say?"
Piper smiled and shook her head "Oh no, Larry would never let her do that." Piper began but Alex cut her off.
"I'm not asking Larry; I am asking you." Alex told her before she added "What do you think about it?"
Piper took a deep breath, she knew her daughter wanted to get into acting, she as taken many acting classes, and shows she has potential for being something great. "Well I'm not sure" Piper began but then stopped and thought about it some more before she continued "I think that I would let her, I want my daughter to grow up and have a job she loves, because as they say, have a job you love, and you never work a day in your life."
Alex nodded her head in agreement "Very true Piper, that is why I asked you first" Alex began but then stopped and asked "So what about Larry?"
"Well first I think we should ask Helena, and if she wants to do it, then I will deal with Larry." Piper told her and Alex smiled.
"Great" Alex smiled and Piper just smiled back before she asked "How old is she?"
"She will be seventeen on Saturday" Piper told her
"So she is a junior?" Alex asked and Piper shook her head.
"She skipped ninth grade, so she is a senior." Piper informed her.
"So she smart like her mother" Alex winked but then added quickly covering her tracks "Not that I don't think Larry isn't smart.
Piper laughed "Trust me, all the kids take after me.
Alex chuckled before she said "Well there is nothing wrong with that"
"Oh trust me, it scares me a little" Piper laughed.
"I bet, but how about any languages, does she know any?" Alex asked and then added "Just wanting to know for the role."
Piper nodded her head "She's fluent in French, I taught her when she was younger"
Alex's eye went wide "You know French?"
Piper nodded her head "I went to a French private school in Los Angeles"
"Wow, you are just full of surprises, which one?" Alex asked
"Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles" Piper told her and Alex just smiled
"Wow! Le Lycée Français, Yale, and a major in literature, you really are just trying to win my heart aren't you?" Alex asked with a laugh.
"Peut être" Piper said in a full French Accent, making Alex get butterflies in her stomach, but what Piper didn't know was that Alex knew French as well.
"alors je suis à toi" Alex said with a smile.
Piper's eyes went wide "You know French?"
Alex nodded "So you are after my own heart then, Mrs. Bloom?" Alex asked with a smug smile.
"You wish, but I am happily married, remember" Piper told her with a smile as flashed her diamond ring.
"Right" Alex began but then the door bell rang.
"Excuse me" Piper quickly standing up and then left the room to go greet who ever was at her front door.
Alex once again watched Piper leave the room, and then heard a man's voice at the door once Piper asked "Cal what are you doing here?"
"I came to hang out with my sister" Cal said as he walked past his sister, and into the house. "Oh you have company" Cal said a few minutes later when he spotted Alex.
"Well didn't you see the car?" Piper asked as she walked up behind her brother.
"I thought it was yours" Cal said casually and then introduced himself to Alex, not having a clue who she was. "Hi I'm Piper's brother, Cal."
Alex stood up from the couch and then shook his hand "Nice to meet you, I am Alex Vause"
Piper just laughed "Cal you have no idea who she is do you?" Piper asked
Cal shook his head "Nope, am I supposed to?" Cal asked making Piper laugh even more, and Alex smiled, she loved the sound of the blonde's laugh and wished she could listen to it all the time, and then quickly dismissed the thought in her head.
"No, don't worry about it" Piper said before she added "Do you want anything?"
"Sure" Cal said and then walked to to the kitchen, making himself at home, like he always does.
Piper and Alex both stood there, as they watched as Piper's brother walked out of the room. "Well that's my brother" Piper said with a laugh.
"He's charming" Alex smiled and then added "Well I should get going, I just wanted to come over and congratulate you."
"Oh you don't have to leave" Piper said without thinking.
Alex smiled "Is that way of you saying you want me to stay?" Alex asked with a wink.
"Oh shut up, I was just saying that you don't have to leave because of my brother showing up, he's just raiding my fridge." Piper told her with a smile.
"I have to go and meet your husband, and Pete" Alex told her, as she and Piper walked to her front door.
"Please don't tell him you were here, let me deal with him" Piper told her and Alex nodded her head.
"Don't worry I won't say a thing." Alex told her, as she opened the front door.
"Come on, I'll walk you to your car." Piper told her even though it was right there, as they both walked outside, closing the door behind them.
"You know I wouldn't have gotten lost" Alex teased once the reached her black Maserati GranTuriso MC Centennial Edition.
"I know" Piper smiled back "But I just wanted to make sure" Piper teased back.
Alex leaned against her car, and placed her hand on Piper's hip and pulled her close before she whispered in her ear "You know, Jodie Foster went to Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles and Yale as well, and look at her now, so I really think you should take this job offer, you will be fabulous."
Piper's breath hitched in her throat as she felt Alex's breath hit her ear, and heard her husky voice in her ear, and it took her a few seconds to finally gain her composure and pull away from Alex. "Well I am no Jodie Foster, and no one will be as great as her." Piper told her still trying to gain her composure.
Alex winked before she said "Well you are right, but I am sure you will come pretty damn close."
"Right" Piper said with a roll of her eyes
"Fine don't believe me, but you remind me of her, as does Helena, so I have complete confidence in you both." Alex told her with a smile.
"So I take it you have met her?" Piper asked
Alex nodded her head "I have, and she is fantastic" Alex told her with a smile and Piper couldn't help but smile back. But Alex quickly broke the trance between both women, and opened her car door, leaned inside, knowing that Piper was staring at her ass, because she could feel the eyes, and couldn't help but smile, as she leaned acorss the seat and grabbed her business card. "Here is my number, text me." Alex said with a smile as she turned around and handed Piper her card.
As Piper took the card from Alex, she could feel the fireworks go off between them as their hands touched, "I will" Piper told her with a smile.
"Good, I talk to you later then" Alex said with a wink, before she got into her car.
Piper watched as Alex drove away and down her driveway, before she walked back into her house, and walked into the kitchen where she saw Cal had made himself a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. "Glad you made yourself at home." Piper said with smile when she walked inside the kitchen.
"Well you were taking forever" Cal teased his sister before he asked "Who was that anyway?"
"Just a friend" Piper told him.
"Right, but I don't see you looking at Polly that way" Cal said before he took a bite of his sandwich.
"Whatever Cal" Piper rolled her eyes "I'm going to take a shower, don't burn down my house" Piper added as she walked out of the kitchen.

Later that night, after dinner, Piper had called Helena into the family room, and sat her down on the couch. "Mom what's going on, is this about this morning?" Helena asked worried.
Piper shook her head, as she took a seat next to her daughter. "No honey, I just want to ask you something." Piper told her daughter, taking her hand.
"Mom you have me worried, what's going on?" Helena asked again.
"Nothing bad I assure you, I just wanted to ask you how you felt about something, before we ask your dad." Piper assured her daughter.
"We?" Helena asked
Piper nodded her head "You remember how Alex Vause was here the other night?" Piper asked her daughter, and watched her face light up in a smile.
"Yes! How could I forget?" Helena smiled
"That's true" Piper said with a smile of her own before she added "Well she stopped by earlier, once you kids were gone." Piper began but Helena cut her off.
"Oh my god mom, did you sleep with her?" Helena asked in loud whisper.
Piper's eyes went wide and shouted "NO!"
"Geez mom I was joking, you don't have to bite my head off" Helena laughed and Piper rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, she was quite drawn by your personality" Piper told her but again was cut off.
"Yeah?" Helena asked happily.
"Will you stop cutting me off" Piper warned with a smile before she began again "Honey how would you like to star in a movie, she is directing and producing?"
Helena almost screamed as her eyes went wider than Piper had ever seen them, and watched as her daughter smiled happily as she asked "Are you serious?"
Piper nodded her head "Yes."
Helena quickly wrapped her arms around her mother and hugged her tightly as she said "Yes mom"
Piper smiled as she hugged her daughter back "Okay come on, we have to go and tell your father." Piper told her.
"But what if he says no?" Helena asked as she pulled back from the hug.
"Don't worry about your father, I will handle him." Piper told her standing up from the couch, and leading her daughter to Larry's home office.
Piper knocked on the door lightly and waited for her husband to tell her it was okay for them to enter, before she opened the door, and when they both walked inside she shut it behind them. "Pipes everything okay?" Larry asked looking up from a file.
Piper nodded her head "I just think all three of us should have a conversation."
Larry looked at his daughter and wife confused "Okay?"
Helena and Piper walked over to the two chairs in front of Larry's desk and took a seat. "But first, Helena what do you plan on doing after high school?" Larry asked his daughter once she took a seat.
"Well Daddy, I really want to go to Yale like mom" Helena told her father, and Piper looked at her daughter, shocked with what she said, but all she could do is smile with tears in her eyes. "Don't start with that mom." Helena warned with a smile.
"Sorry" Piper mumbled.
"And what do you plan on studying there? Larry asked "Literature like your mother?"
Helena shook her head "No Dad, I really want to study Drama" Helena began but Larry cut her off.
"Again with the acting Helena, I thought we talked about this." Larry said a bit loudly.
"Larry!" Piper shouted "Don't you yell at her, this is her dream, and you know that." Piper told her husband.
"I just want more for my children." Larry began but once again Piper cut him off.
"So you don't want them to be happy?" Piper asked
"Of course I do, but I just don't think acting is the right way, you know how Hollywood can be Piper." Larry told her.
Piper rolled her eyes with a scoff "Oh please Larry, you don't know a thing about Hollywood, and our daughter is very gifted, and I think it's about time you realize that."
"Mom you don't…" Helena began but Piper stopped her.
"No honey, your father is not going to control what you do with your life, like he has done with mine." Piper began and Larry's face went red but before he could say anything, Piper began again "And just so you know, our daughter has been offered a lead role in a movie, I asked her if her she would like to do it, and she does, so she has my permission, and she is going to do it whether you approve or not." Piper told her husband sternly.
"She is my child too" Larry protested.
"Then maybe you should start acting like a father and support her" Piper told her and then looked at Helena "You can leave now if you like."
Helena nodded her head as she stood up from her chair, hugged her mom, and then left the office.
Once the door was shut, Larry stood up from his chair, shouting as he slammed his fist on the desk "You had no right to talk to me that way, especially in front of her."
"No Larry you can treat me anyway you want, but you cannot and will not treat my children that way." Piper shouted standing up as well.
"And how do I treat you?" Larry asked but before she could answer, Larry spoke again "I gave you and the children this fancy lifestyle, along with all the things money can buy, and yet you have the nerve to say I control you."
"You do Larry, when was the last time, I have ever done anything without asking you for permission?" Piper asked before she shouted "I can't, I aways need permission."
"Except tell our daughter she can go and stare in some movie." Larry snapped.
"I want her to be happy, and if this is her dream, then she should peruse it." Piper yelled.
Just then Larry walked around his desk, and over to his wife where he grabbed her by the arms tightly and yanked her close "Then you can be the one to help her when she fails." Larry told her between clenched teeth and then pushed Piper backwards. "Now get out of my office." Larry demanded.
Piper rolled her eyes, as she stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her "Fucking asshole" Piper mumbled under her breath as she grabbed her phone out of her pocket, and opened her texted messages and selected new messages, and typed in Alex, whose number she had put in her phone earlier. "Helena would love to do it." Piper texted and then after a few second later she sent another one "And so would I."
