(Piper's POV)
I felt a sense of relief over the fact that Alex loved her gift so much. She was like a little kid - opening up the box and proceeding to set up the MP3 player right away. We put the main hub on her nightstand in the bedroom and used the extra speakers in the living room & kitchen. She immediately proceeded to turn it on, opting for Savage Garden.
Once everything was setup, she gave me another kiss...deep & sensual, I felt as if she was kissing every part of my body and soul. The fact that she could kiss me so deeply was somewhat scary and I always wondered if she felt the same when we kissed.
Breaking from the kiss, Alex took my hand and brought me back over to the tree. Handing me the first wrapped item, she said, "Your turn. Open it already so I can touch you...I'm dying over here."
"My little insatiable Alex," I said to Alex, as I started to open the gift.
Once the paper was off, I found a beautiful frame - dark & wooden, just like the apartment and The Hub - along with a photo of Alex and I. I completely forgot about this photo...it was from the very first night we met. I laughed out loud reliving that night...me with my ridiculous Laura Ingalls Wilder attire and Alex with that ridiculous huge black cross necklace.
"Al...I love it. This needs to be the first of many photos of us around this place. It needs some sprucing up," I said to Alex, squeezing her hand in mine.
Alex squeezed back and turned the frame over in my hands. Once she did this, I saw a thick piece of paper attached. Opening this, I found the lyrics to Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" along with "I love you to Infinity, 3 AV."
"Hmm ohh, I will come
Maybe it's intuition
Somethings you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes, I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only a sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for, I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo ohh
A thousand angels dance around you
(Ooh hoo, hoo ooo hoo ooo hoo hoo hoo)
I am complete now that I have found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo hoo)
I knew I loved you before I met you
(Oh oh, ohh ohh, oh oh oh ay ay yea oh)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
I knew I loved you before I met you"
The tears came out of my eyes before I even had a chance to realize they were coming. Alex turned my face to her's and kissed me again...so slow...so sensual...so perfect.
"There is one more Pipes...try to keep it together for just another minute," Alex said, handing me the second wrapped item.
"You are such an ass," I said to Alex, laughing through the tears.
I opened the box, this one smaller, and found a jewelry box inside. Opening the jewelry box, I saw a beautiful necklace. Alex always picked out the most gorgeous jewelry for me. The necklace looked as if it was white gold with the Infinity sign right in the middle of it. It was like no necklace I had ever seen before - it looked as if it was probably hand crafted.
I felt myself gasp as I saw it, and Alex took it out of the box to put it on my neck.
"I had it custom made for you by a local jeweler. It is Platinum and the Infinity sign is literally built right in. It is part of the integrity of the necklace," Alex said, clasping it onto my neck.
It was so beautiful and so perfect.
"Thank you so much Alex...I love it," I told Alex, not being able to take my eyes off the necklace.
Alex stood up, taking my hand with her and walked me into the bedroom. She guided me toward the bed and proceeded to light all of the candles in the bedroom, turning the lights off as she finished. Ever so slowly, Alex got onto the bed next to me and took my face in her hands. She began placing the most gentle kisses ever on my lips. Matching her kiss for kiss, we got wrapped up just holding each other and kissing.
I allowed my hands to roam down and pull up and off Alex's shirt. She proceeded to do the same with mine as she positioned herself on top of me. With both of us in our bras, we continued our slow assault on each other's lips, as our hands began to explore the other's breasts. The entire experience was so erogenous and perfect. I felt an orgasm coming on - just from the touch of Alex's hands and the taste of her lips on mine.
As we continued to hold each other, Alex reached down and pulled off my pants. I did the same with her jeans and proceeded to get on top of Alex. Reaching my hands into her panties, I was greeted with a hot pool of desire. Feeling my fingers dip into her most inner self, felt so perfect. I felt like this was home. Alex's fingers rubbed along the outside of my panties, mimicking my movements. Never before had we been so quiet and so slow while making love. Stroke for stroke, we matched each other as we let our hands and tongues explore the other.
Even our orgasms that night was so slow & raw. There was no screaming...there was no biting...there was nothing but love. After we had both cum - long & slow - we held each other in each other's arms. I couldn't help myself, as the tears started running down my face. Alex didn't have to say a word - taking my face in her hands, she kissed the tears away, pulling me closely into her body.
Before I realized, we were dozing off. The last thing I remember of the night was Alex wrapping her body around mine, taking on the position of the big spoon, and whispering in my ears, "I love you to Infinity Piper. I will never stop loving you."
