(Alex's POV)
This was such a perfect gift and I wanted to get it setup right away. Piper wasn't always the most technical so I was so excited over the fact that she already loaded all of my music. Damn, it must have taken her forever...I had an insane amount of music.
I proceeded to getting the MP3 player setup, locating the main station on my nightstand and the extra speakers in the living room & kitchen. I turned it on right away, going to the playlist that featured Savage Garden. Once all setup, I moved to Piper taking her in a kiss. Never before had I loved kissing someone as much as I loved kissing Piper. It was like a brand new experience each & every time we kissed.
I broke from the kiss, bringing Piper back to the tree and handing her the first gift, "Your turn. Open it already so I can touch you...I'm dying over hear."
"My little insatiable Alex," Piper said, as she started to open the gift.
As the paper came off, and Piper got a good look at the frame, she started laughing out loud. Knowing this was most likely at how we looked in the photo, I smiled, taking in every piece of her face - the way it looked when she laughed was by far my favorite.
"Al...I love it. This needs to be the first of many photos of us around this place. It needs some sprucing up," Piper said, squeezing my hand.
While I didn't think it needed any sprucing up, I did agree that we needed more photos of each other.
I turned the frame over in Piper's hands, pointing out the paper attached. Piper removed the paper and began to read. Finding not only my note of, "I love you to Infinity, 3 AV" but also the lyrics to Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You,"
"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"
I saw Piper starting to cry and immediately turned her face to mine, locking our lips into a kiss.
"There is one more Pipes...try to keep it together for just another minute," I told Piper as I handed her the wrapped jewelry box.
This made Piper smile as she laughed through the tears and said, "You are such an ass."
Piper opened the jewelry box, gasping as she saw the necklace. I stood, removing it from the box and moving to clasp it onto her 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."
With her eyes firmly on the necklace, Piper said, "Thank you so much Alex...I love it."
I stood up again, taking Piper's hand in mine and walking her into the bedroom. I lit all of the candles that encompassed the room, turning off the main light once they were lit. I got onto the bed along with Piper, taking her face into my hands. Her face fit so perfectly in my hands...like it was truly meant to be there. I began to kiss Piper in the slowest way possible. This was not about anything crazy - this was a true, sensually driven kiss. We were wrapped up in each other, just loving the feeling of each other's lips.
Piper moved her hands down my body and pulled my shirt over my head. I did the same with her shirt and re-positioned us so that I was on top of Piper. We continued to be wrapped up in our never-ending kiss, as our hands gently massaged & teased each other's breasts. We had never before made love with this kind of passion and it was almost too much to take. I felt Piper's lips quiver, as she silently orgasmed from our touch alone.
I reached down to remove Piper's pants and, as she did the same with my jeans, she got on top of me. I had my eyes closed but so badly wanted to look into those gorgeous blue eyes, as she dipped her hand into my panties. I was soaked before she even got there, and I found a similar soaking in her panties. Even with my hand on the outside of the cotton, Piper was soaked all the way through.
We met each other's movements, almost in a synchronized fashion. We held each other...we touched each other...we loved each other. And everything - including our orgasms - seemed to slow down in time. I was no looking forward to an extended period away from Piper and, as if the universe realized this, it allowed for everything to move at a beyond slow pace. A truly magical pace.
As we held each other, I could feel Piper starting to cry. With tears rolling down her face, I took it again in my hands and kissed the tears away. It took everything I had not to start crying as well. I absolutely loved this woman with everything that I was...with everything that I could be.
Piper began to doze off as we spooned together. Whispering into her ear, I said, "I love you to Infinity Piper. I will never stop loving you."
I held Piper that night, not wanting to fall asleep as I wanted to hold off departing as much as possible. Holding her was home. Holding her was my peace. Holding her, was the only place I wanted to be.
