A/N: Hey guys, another chapter for you, this just sets up how Piper is feeling about Alex before their next meeting.

In reply to the guest who said I was making Piper too easy, I am trying to roughly follow the behaviour of the characters in the show where they sleep together at some point after their initial meeting in the bar.

Thank you again for the favourites, follows and reviews, I love you guys.

Have at it...

Chapter #6…

The next morning Piper awoke late into the morning. When she had finally pulled herself away from watching the motorbike, and with it Alex, disappear into the city streets last night she had crawled straight into bed. However sleep did not come easily for quite a while. Her whole body tingled at the thought of what that kiss had promised and she had never felt more wired. One touch from Alex's lips had heightened her senses, warmth shooting from her core and seeping throughout the lengths of her veins right to the smallest capillaries in her toes and fingertips. Her whole body felt ablaze.

Her mind was fucked too. In typical WASP style, Piper began to overanalyse everything about the situation. Why was she so drawn to this woman? A complete stranger she had been in the company of for only a few hours in total. Someone who was clearly very experienced with women, her cool, suave demeanour meant she could have anyone she wanted. Yet she too wanted Piper, even if just for a night. The thought sent another rush of heat throughout her body.

After replaying the afternoon in her head on a continuous cycle of repeat, Piper eventually drifted off to sleep sometime after 3, waking to find herself shed of everything but her underwear, the heat still emanating from her skin.

She rolled over checking the clock at her bedside. It was 11:40.

"Shit. Fuck. Shit."

She was 20 minutes away from her lecture starting.

Piper shot up, throwing on her jeans and tank that she had discarded eagerly on her floor last night, pulling on her sneakers as she hopped into the lounge.

"Morning P." Polly offered breezily from her position at the breakfast bar, her laptop open in front of her.

"I'm late." Was all Piper could muster in return, before heading out the door with a slam leaving a bemused Polly to chuckle and shake her head at the flustered blonde.

XxX

When Piper returned a few hours later, she found Polly in he same position typing furiously on her laptop.

"Hey Pol." Piper murmured as she walked in, her bag thrown on the floor just past the doorway, her body flopping down onto the sofa with a loud yawn.

"Hey P, late night?" Polly asked as she shut her laptop, retrieving a bottle of wine and two glasses from the kitchen and made her way over to the blonde.

Piper hauled herself up, taking the far end of the sofa, tucking her feet underneath herself as she took the proffered glass. The thoughts that Polly's question evoked instantly had Piper again thinking back to her day spent with Alex, their flirtatious yet intelligent banter, the ride home, the kiss. There was still something mysterious and dangerous about Alex that the blonde just couldn't quite put her finger on, yet like a moth drawn to a flame, she couldn't stop the thoughts of the brunette invading her head. The kiss was something else too, Piper had never experienced anything quite like it before in her life. Those delicious lips emblazoned the skin that they touched, Piper reaching her hand up to her own unconsciously, the goofy smile plastered across her face once again.

"So you had a good night then." Polly eyed her friend suspiciously watching her trail her hand over her lips, "spill Piper, I want all the details!"

Piper looked up to find Polly still staring, eagle eyed and waiting for an explanation.

Her best friend missed nothing, and honestly, Piper was actually happy to voice her thoughts, to try and compartmentalise her feelings and worries over the brunette.

Piper left Polly hanging for a final minute, slowly taking a long drink of her wine before finally putting the girl out of her misery.

"I had my study session with Alex yesterday, I don't know what it is Pol but the chemistry is just so... the buzz and electricity when we're together, I've never felt anything like it before."

Piper looked to her best friend who was waiting patiently for her to continue.

"She's so mysterious and…"

"Wait, she? You're a lesbian again Piper?"

"It's not a discreet category Pol, it's more of a scale, you know that, but yes, I'm attracted to her, what can I say? She has these green eyes that I can never read and I never know what's she's going to do next, and the tattoo's on her arms that I can't quite see enough of, and her lips.."

"Okay, I get it, she's some hot enigma for you to figure out."

Piper looked up to meet Polly's eyes, she was watching the blonde intently.

"She gave me a ride home, after we'd finished working for the day, on her motorbike." Piper murmured, aware of the onslaught she was about to receive.

"Motorbike?! Piper are you serious? Those things are death traps, jeez, what would Carol say?! A few hours with this woman and you're willing to do anything! Seriously, she sounds kind of a badass, is that really who you want to be hanging around with? You've just started on a new course, you could become friends with anyone on it."

"You're staring to sound like my mother Pol, I like her okay, and she's smart too, like really smart, and I can't stop thinking about how it felt when she kissed me, I thought I was going to pass out."

"She kissed you?"

"Yeah, last night she dropped me off and then she kissed me." Piper could feel her cheeks burning at the statement, every time she went over the kiss in her head she felt the electricity again.

"I thought she wasn't going to but then she leaned into me and I wanted it Pol, like really wanted it and it was amazing, now I can't stop thinking about her."

"Just be careful okay, you dumb lesbian." Polly leaned over to half hug her friend before topping up her wine glass. Any tension that had risen was now gone and the friends relaxed into the comfortable atmosphere.

"So, Pete's out with his mates on Friday night and wondered if we wanted to join."

"That's been going on a while, must be serious."

"I really like him Piper, and we haven't been out yet since we started the semester, we're talking drinks, music, dancing, what do you think?"

"I'm in, it'll be nice to just cut loose."

Polly beamed at her friend who returned the smile.

"I'm excited already!" Polly squealed as she topped up her own wine glass whilst Piper flicked through the TV channels for something for them to watch.
