(Alex's POV)
I held Piper tightly against my body, loving the fact that she fit into me so perfectly. While we were similar in height, her body just simply completed mine. I allowed myself to doze off for just a bit knowing good & well I had business to deal with at home. I woke an hour later, still holding Piper as her breathing was deep and she had a big grin on her face. This automatically made me grin as memories of the night spread all over my body. I slowly slid out of the bed and slipped back into my clothes. I found a pen & paper in the nightstand draw and wrote a quite note for Piper. Even though I had a million things to say, I managed to write out: "Piper...last night was simply amazing. Going to sort out my shit...I will call you as soon as I can. 3 AV."
I left the note for Piper on the pillow and headed out of the apartment. As I walked home, my mind was flush with Piper. I could seriously see a future with this girl which was scary as shit. I didn't do futures with girls. I liked to stick with the 'use em & lose em' mentality when it came to woman. Especially woman who weren't working as my mules. I just had no desire to settle down with just one woman. But damn, I could actually see myself settle down with Piper. I nearly walked past the apartment as I was so involved with my thoughts.
Slowly, I made my way up the stairs, gearing myself up for the shit storm which was Slyvie. Lucky for me, Slyvie was already packing her stuff up.
"What the hell Sylvie?" I asked...slightly relieved but confused nonetheless.
Sylvie looked and me and said, "You are such a fucking whore Alex. You go to the bar with me and leave with some straight chick. I'm so done with you. And you better never think that I am doing another run for you. Ever again. Fuck you and your money. Have fun with your straight girl...I'm sure that will end up great."
Wow...I was totally shocked by this but so thrilled I wouldn't have to deal with a fight. Sure Slyvie was fun but she was no Piper.
I left the bedroom and headed for the couch, totally content to just sit back as Slyvie gathered her things. Even though she was living with me, outside of her clothes, she really didn't own much in my apartment. If it was up to her, my apartment would have been completely changed. It was good that she was leaving on her own, I thought to myself. Not even an hour after I walked in, Slyvie dropped her key in my hand & departed with a nice "Fuck you." Now feeling completely exhausted, I took off my glasses, placed them on the coffee table and fell asleep.
My mind raced into dreams of Piper and I slept better than I have in a long time. When I finally woke up, it was almost 12:00pm. I got up, took a shower and cleaned up a bit. Trying to keep my mind occupied, I told myself I would call Piper at 3:00 and not a minute later. I didn't want her to realize just how much she had occupied my mind. Truth be told, I wanted her to come to me.
As soon as 3:00pm hit, I grabbed my phone & dialed her number.
"Hello Ms. All-Star," I said to Piper when she picked up on the first ring.
"Well hello to you. Guess What?! I finally got a job!" Piper shouted back, sounding totally stoked.
"Killer...great job babe. Guess what...I got rid of my psycho girlfriend. Which means, you need to get your ass over here as it's been too long since I've tasted you," I said to Piper.
I needed Piper and I needed her now. I hung up the phone and went to ready myself...more nervous then I have ever been to see someone.
