{ALEX'S POV}
I cant stop thinking about Piper, that day she walked into the bar. When I looked into those gorgeous deep blue eyes of hers, I fell completely in love with her. Of course other women had caught my eye in the years of me spotting ladies but this one was different. I knew that I couldnt have let her go that night.. she was the most beautiful human i'd ever layed eyes on. Although I was with my girlfriend at the time Silvie, things hadn't been great in our relationship. I wanted to end it, I had planned it for a while now. I wasn't happy with her and if I wanted a new lover in my life I knew Piper would be my perfect one. She wasn't my usual type but when I'd gotten near her and we both met eye contact I felt like the whole world around us had disappeared. She were the only thing I'd wanted to pay attention to, she was the only thing I payed attention to. Everything else was background. You both knew you fell in love with eachother the moment you met, despite the fact that she was straight.. you can't control where your heart goes. Im gonna make sure things happen between us. Whether it takes days, weeks, months hell... even years. Im going to make sure I can do everything I can to spend the rest of my life with this girl. It may be forward, but its been a few months now. Love can come in very little time, and long time too.
*TING* you hear your phone alert.
Billy: We'll meet you at the resturant, see you there :)
You dont bother to reply, since you just sat in your car for 25 minutes outside Pipers house. You drive to the resturant which takes you a good 15 minutes, well around that time anyway. You go inside and look around for your friends and before you know it you feel someone jump on your back.
"Holy-"
"Heyyyyy Alex!" one of your over-energetic friends greets you.
"Oh my god what are you two fuckin' years old?!"
You've always been quick to anger.
"Chill, come on. We're sitting over here."
She turns around and you follow, taking a deep breath trying to forget what just happens. The annoyance quickly escapes your mind and you go back to normal again.
"Hey Al" Billy greets with a fist bump.
Followed by a few more "Hey Alex" or "Sup girl"'s you sit down on the far end of the table near the window, you all speak about random things for a while.
"So hows your guys's love lifes then?" Billy asks you all.
'Here we go' you think.
"Well, Darren and I are going well. We moved in together a few weeks ago and he's helping with the financial issues and all that stuff. We're in a happy place at the moment, thing is he needs to quit ordering Pizza's. Literally every night he orders one and Im like 'you're gonna get fat dude!' and hes just like making fart noises at me. Hes such a grown up baby" Lizzie starts.
"Aye but Darrens a nice lad, don't cha think?" Chris says to everyone around the table.
"Yeah of course" I reply, along with similar answers from the rest.
"I think I and Julia are going well to be quite honest, I mean we've had complications in the past but we're over them. It seems like now we're just settling together, and I'm quite happy about that." Sophia adds into the conversation.
"Awh you two are so cute together. I've always known since you met her you'd been in love" Billy smiles.
That sounds familiar.
"I guess this is where I say, I met a guy. Thought I'd go over and speak to him, he was a charm. I assumed he was straight, but whats life without winging it y'know. So I go up to him, ask him a few questions here and there. I notice he's kind of flirting with me, I flirt back here and there. His names Troye. Similar age to me actually, hes 22. Anyway back to before, I ask get to know him a bit, get his number. Text him back and forth, bam! Im in there" Chris chatters on.
"I see you've pulled" Lizzie budges.
"Mhm Girl" Chris jeeps.
"How about you Alex?" Billy asks.
God, you thought you could've got away with it aswell.
"Ugh where do I start. Its so complicated right now. So... I broke up with Silvie."
"What?" Sophia gasps.
"Why?" Chris asks in a quiet voice.
"I wasn't really happy with her, she changed. She got more angry, she yelled at me all the time. She made my life miserable and I wasn't prepared to take things further so I fucked her off. Not literally." you explain.
"So like, whats happening now?" Billy asks.
"I met a girl. I met a gorgeous girl. When I first layed my eyes on her, I had to speak to her. So I did, I went up to her and spoke casually. Not really flirting but I went with confidence. Her names Piper, I got her number. Texted. She stayed the night because of a situation, I'll tell you later. I don't really want to get into that right now. But uh, we got closer and I think- I think Im in love with her. Im gonna take things slow and see how things go. Hopefully they do."
"The way you speak about her, you seem happier than before. I say you stick to her." Lizze encourages.
"Oh trust me I will."
A waiter approaches you all with food.
"Oh I ordered the usual for you since you weren't here. I hope you don't mind." Billy informs you.
"No Im fine with it, I was gonna order that anyway." You give the young waiter a quick smile.
You all eat your food whilst the conversation continues.
"So, How about your love life Billy?" you tease saying the love life part in a cocky voice.
"Oh shush you. Single. But, I'll get a man soon. Or a woman."
{PIPERS POV}
"Oh shut up Piperrr" Polly laughs.
"Come on, you guys totally banged didn't you?"
"Noo he just came to sleep over thats all"
"Yeah sureee" You say under your breath.
"You can't say much!" she says back in an instant.
"What do you mean?" You say in a rush.
"You and that Alex girl, I bet you did bad things to eachother didn't you. She didn't bring you back just to look after you did she? she brought you back to give you a little suprise."
"No we didn't? Oh my god Polly no! Im straight for god sakes!"
"Im sure you are" she sarcasticaly replies.
You roll your eyes at her and ignore her, continuing to eat your salad.
*Ting!*
"Oooh! Thats Pete!"
"Jesus christ" you mutter to yourself.
Luckily she doesn't hear, and she runs off upstairs to where she usually goes. God knows what goes on behind those doors.
You go to your bedroom when you finish your lunch and go on your laptop for a hour or so, just browsing the web and chatting to old friends. Which reminds you, you need to find a job. But as always you procrasinate. Like you usually do. But anyways, you're alright for now since Polly has a job and the money your grandma left you when she passed is still a pretty high amount.
Its quite silent around the house, which is nice for a change. It always used to be so loud and full but it seems like its so calm lately. You're starting to like the idea of that. The silence is interrupted by a phone call.
"Hey Pipes"
"Hey Alex, how're you?"
"Im doing fine, I just got back from a resturant with a couple friends. Im alone now."
"Sounds nice, have a good time?"
"Yeah actually, I told them about you."
"You did? Tell me"
"That doesn't matter right now, anyway. I want to see you, are you avaliable tonight?"
"I guess, what time"
"Uhh, 8ish"
"Yeah course, see you then."
She hangs up and since its almost 7 you decide to sleep, as you always do. You find It makes time go alot faster. You settle down and fall asleep.
You are awoken by a knock on the door, you get up and check the time. 8:15. You panic and rush to the door.
"Alex Im so so-"
You stop yourself and look her up and down, admiring everything about her. How even her winged eyeliner is, the way her glasses sit on her head, her pale but beautiful skin, her plump soft lips. The clothes she is wearing, everything is.. perfect.
"Im sorry, I didn't realise the time I was asleep I"
"Piper chill, Its okay, go get ready" she smirks to the side of her face.
"Okay just sit there Ill be back soon"
You quickly enter your bedroom again and grab something casual but nice, since Alex is wearing something similar. Something dark like always, you want to look the same. At least you'll look good together..
{ALEX'S POV}
I sat there and waited, slightly nervous but I knew she'd love where Im taking her. Shes in for a treat, Im still not sure whether she likes me or not but I'll make her realise there is something between us by the end of the night. Im sure of it. Im determined to show her how strong our connection is.
{PIPERS POV}
A few minutes later I check myself in the mirror one more time, this wasn't my usual look but dang. I look good. I take a deep breathe and walk out the room to see Alex staring at the doorway. She then sees you in the corner of her eye and stares at you for what feels like forever. She stands up.
"Oh my god, Piper." she says releasing a long breathe.
She approaches you and stands infront of you.
"You look.. you look fucking beautiful." she says as she stares into your eyes with complete lust, sliding her hands down your waist slowly.
You give her a large smile.
"Im sorry, uh we should get going."
You follow her out of the door and lock it since Polly is also out tonight, and enter her car. She looks at you in the mirror of the car.
"We look so good together kid."
"I know" you say biting your lip slightly.
{ALEXS POV}
I drive to our destination and Piper stares at me in shock.
"What?" you chuckle in your raspy voice.
"Alex, this is amazing"
It takes her a while to say it, since she is completely astonished by what is infront of her.
You both get out of the car and you approach Piper.
"Come on" you say as you offer her your hand.
She takes your hand and you walk across the bright pier, there are many people around. Mainly couples and families.
{PIPERS POV}
It feels so good to feel her warm hands against yours. Especially since it cold out. But it feels like you're together. Almost like you belong together.
"You wanna go to that candyfloss stand?" Alex asks.
"Sure, I love candyfloss"
She takes you over and asks for one popcorn, one candyfloss. You both wait and talk about the surroundings, until you are given the food. She hands your candyfloss over and you go and stand around a quiet corner to eat.
"Mmm I love candyfloss Alex, how do you know me so well?" you close your eyes at the amazing taste.
"Just do kid" she says then puts some popcorn in her mouth.
You both eat and dont bother to speak, since your too lost in the taste.
"Uh, I need to confess something" Alex says trying to look away.
"Okay?"
"Dont be weirded out or anything but"
"But..?"
"I think- I think Im in love with you Piper" she hesitates to say the rest.
"Oh" you say quietly.
"I didn't want to tell you but I felt like I couldn't stay friends without telling you."
"No It's just.." you start.
"What? Piper what?"
"I think I feel the same way.."
Alex looks up from the ground and into your eyes, a large smile appears on her face.
"You do?" she says in a soft voice.
"I guess so" you cant help but smile back.
"I thought you were straight though" she says tilting her head slightly.
"I did too, but then I met you"
Alex wraps her arms tightly around your waist and hugs you for a long time, you close your eyes and wrap your arms round her neck and rest your head on her shoulder.
"I love you Piper, I have been since day one" she whispers into your ear.
"I love you too"
There is music playing in the distance on the far end of the pier, you decide to head there and watch an event that is being hosted there. You reach it just in time and take a seat along with everyone else. Your fingers are still locked together, you sit hand in hand.
"So whats going to happen then?" you ask her.
"Since we feel the same way, should we try this out?" Alex asks adjusting her glasses with her other hand.
She tends to do that when shes nervous.
"I guess If I do, and I'm trying to find out who I am then yeah." you confirm.
"So.. It's Official." Alex chuckles and you giggle back.
The day you've been waiting for, after months of flirting and confusion.. you finally got what you wanted. A rush of happiness enters your body and doesn't leave you. Infact, it is almost a sign of relief aswell. You could slightly tell Alex was different to you, you treated her differently to your other friends, always put her first. Never got bored of speaking to her, it felt like she was the only person you actually enjoyed speaking to. You got her now, you have her. She's yours. Your girlfriend, and you know what? You couldn't feel any happier.{ALEX'S POV}
I cant stop thinking about Piper, that day she walked into the bar. When I looked into those gorgeous deep blue eyes of hers, I fell completely in love with her. Of course other women had caught my eye in the years of me spotting ladies but this one was different.
