"Alex, why have you packed all these clothes yet no night clothes?" Piper asked when the two women finally made their way to the bedroom.

"Well," Alex grinned, "I was hoping the jeans would be OK for your time in the unit tomorrow, maybe with this top?" she held up the pale blue shirt she just knew would make Pipers eyes pop. "Then, for your meeting with me later, maybe this." Piper saw the skirt and blouse she had bought for her very first Barneys meeting.

"And the rest?" she asked curiously.

"Well I was hoping after the meeting we could go out, I mean sure its a work night," she smiled seeing Piper about to protest, "but come on Pipes dinner maybe, a quiet drink, nothing heavy."

Piper nodded, "OK, but only if it looks like we can get the work done before London." she added. "I really want this to work Al."

"I know you do." Alex smiled, "and I am glad you are excited, but all work makes Piper a dull girl." She winked. "Let Polly be the dull one; after all you will have to pick up the slack for her soon enough when she is knee deep in diapers."

Piper shuddered at the thought. Putting the clothes back where Alex had hanged them she frowned once more, looking round. "OK I know you found my underwear drawer Al, I saw the evidence all over my bed in the picture you sent me… so where is it?"

"Ah," Alex was biting her tongue trying not to laugh. "Now you have to remember Pipes, you had just finished telling me you wanted to try new things remember. With that in mind I thought maybe it would be fun knowing you were at the meeting tomorrow with no panties."

"Fun for who?" Piper frowned not sure Alex was taking this business meeting as seriously as she was.

"Well I had hoped both of us!" Alex admitted sensing Piper may not be as up for this as she had hoped, "but it is OK, its not as if I don't have panties you can wear. And I packed bra's so…"

Piper shook her head. It was one thing introducing change to her life in private but to go to a meeting… "So going back to my original question, I am assuming you left my night clothes at mine too?"

Alex nodded, "but I have plenty of t shirts Pipes," Alex hastily moved to grab a t shirt from her draw thrusting it at the blonde woman who she hoped was just tired after the long day she had had, and was not pissed at her for her choice in clothes, or lack of. Piper grabbed the t shirt and went to get ready for bed.

She felt bad for not being more enthusiastic about Alex's plan, she had had fun tonight, lots of fun, but if she was honest once she had entered the bedroom she realised tomorrow was almost upon her and she was nowhere near ready for the meeting. She sighed, brushed her teeth and returned to see Alex sat on the bed waiting.

"I'm sorry." Piper smiled. "I guess I'm just tired Al. And worried."

"About?"

"The meeting, the work still to do. I was so happy to be seeing you, excited about holding you kissing you, I kind of blocked everything else out. Seeing the clothes you chose reminded me of the meeting and I'm not ready."

"So we do it the next day." Alex shrugged. "Its your call Pipes. Look you have had a long day, lets just sleep, then tomorrow go to the unit, talk to Polly and then call me, we can meet if you want or make the appointment for later in the week." Alex pulled Piper close and hugged her tight. "Don't think about it any more tonight."

Piper nodded and let Alex lead her to the bed. Settling down she closed her eyes and felt Alex wrap her long arms around her. "I like you holding me." She said softly realising how safe Alex made her feel.

"Shhh, just sleep Pipes." Alex whispered.

Alex lay still holding Piper close until she was sure the younger woman was asleep. Loosening her hold, she disentangled her arms and climbed quietly out of bed. Piper didn't stir ad Alex knew she would sleep now until morning. She also knew sleep would not come quite so easy for her now. She made her way back upstairs to the bathroom they had pretty much abandoned earlier. Alex tidied round then ran some more water this time leaving the lights and jets off, she took of the loose fitting t shirt and climbed into the warm water. Laying her head back on the edge she stared up at the sky light. She had got her timing all wrong with Piper. Carried away by the idea of pipers willingness to begin experimenting Alex knew she should have anticipated pipers nerves, this was all new to her, all of it. Not just the business the travel but their relationship too. But was it just timing or had she misjudged the situation? Alex really needed to talk to Boo about the trip but she had not had a chance and now it was too late. She had been so keen to see Piper, so wanting to get her into bed she had neglected to really listen about the trip. Closing her eyes Alex tried to relax. She should be downstairs holding Piper not sitting her alone in the dark. But Alex knew holding Piper wasn't enough and as good as it had been earlier it wasn't enough, would it ever be?

It was an hour before Alex had relaxed enough to return to the bedroom. Climbing back into bed she smiled as Piper rolled towards her immediately snuggling in close. Alex closed her eyes once more and tried to sleep.

o0o

"It is not normal to get up this early!" Piper muttered at 5 the next morning as she watched Alex bound out of bed, across the room, to the bathroom. She must have dozed off to sleep as it was 5.30 when Alex shook her arm and said "come on Pipes, this coffee will help."

"To early..." she muttered making Alex chuckle.

"And you said I was bad in the morning!" she pointed out.

Struggling to sit up and reaching blindly for the coffee Alex had brought her, she muttered, "that was mid morning on a weekend, you wasted half the day, its barely past midnight and still half dark out."

Alex was now dressed and smirking as she watched Piper mutter and sip her coffee. "Better?" She asked when Piper looked a little more human. Piper shrugged. "OK, well I need to be in the office soon and I thought you wanted an early start, I can drop you back at your place if you like though."

Piper reluctantly shook her head. "My car is at the unit, I may as well go in."

"That's my girl!" Alex laughed. "Come on sleepy, "Alex pulled Piper into a standing position, grabbed her clothes and pushed her towards the bathroom. "Chop chop, we leave in 20!"

By the time Alex was pulling up in front of the unit Piper was beginning to think about the day ahead. She carried the coffee and do-nuts Alex had stopped to buy and looking across at Alex now she smiled, "sorry I was such a grouch this morning."

"That's OK Pipes, you go do your thing and call if you want to reschedule the meeting OK."

Piper nodded leaning over to kiss Alex she smiled, she climbed out and put her coffee and bag of pastries on the roof of the car, opening the back door to retrieve the clothes hanging up in the back.

"See you later!" she waved reclaiming her snacks and stood watching as Alex drove away. As she walked across the deserted yard, opened the unit door and entered she realised Alex was right, getting in this early did at least mean she would be undisturbed and could make some headway into the proposal.

When Polly arrived some 3 hours later she looked confused at the amount of produce scattered about and the look of deep concentration on Pipers face.

"Hey, your early. Did I miss something?"

"Hi, no Alex dropped me off on her way to work, it made sense to come here and get started." She looked at Polly. "How was the rest of the trip?"

Polly shrugged. "Good. Boo is a handful! Never did I think I would do karaoke, or go to a gay singles bar, but I can now say I've done both. Evidently I was not an ideal wingman and got the entire blame for Boo not pulling but I can live with it."

Piper sniggered. "Any thoughts on the London trip?"

Polly shrugged, "We need to be on our game, those people know their stuff and wont factor in this is our first time. Boo said you wanted to change stuff."

Piper nodded and began explaining her thoughts and ideas. "So if Daya says it is possible I think it will give a better look and first impression."

Polly smiled. "I agree. I guess we needed to go to new haven more than we realised. But enough about business I have two questions. 1- what time did you get here that you got all this done already? and 2- how much do I owe you for having to face dinner with not only your parents but mine too? I got home to a long message from Pete that my mother called telling me all about lunch and that she was disappointed I had not made the effort you had to see your parents."

Piper snorted, "Lets face it Pol neither of us will win, ever. Just promise me you don't guilt trip your kid the same way!"

The pair continued to work putting together samples of pipers idea and once satisfied Piper reached for her phone to call Alex.

"Alex Vause's phone. Whose calling?"

"Nicky? Hey, its Piper!"

"Blondie! The boss told me you might call. So you chickening out then? She said you had cold feet."

Piper frowned. "I haven't got cold feet Nick, I just wanted to make sure we could do this properly and no I am not chickening out I am calling to confirm we will be there at 4." Slamming her phone down without waiting for Nicky's response Piper felt Polly's stare. "What?" She muttered.

"Hey, don't shout at me! I am guessing all is not rosy with the boss."

"Well I thought it was OK, but Nicky just said Alex had told her I had cold feet and was chickening out." Piper shrugged. "She obviously doesn't have faith in us. Maybe we should just run this past boo. Its her deal after all."

Polly frowned. "I was only teasing Piper, and of course Alex would not think you were chickening out, you know Nicky she was teasing."

Piper nodded. Polly was probably right.

o0o

"What else did she say?" Alex demanded.

"I told you boss, she was not chatty, she just said she would be here at 4 then hung up."

"OK Nick, I will ask this once and I want the truth, what exactly did you say to her? I know Piper and she would not hang up for no reason."

Nicky look abashed, "I may have said you told me she was chickening out."

"Jesus Nick!" Alex grabbed her phone and slammed her office door. She called Pipers number but only got her messaging service so leaving a message she then called Boo.

"Carrie? Hey, its Al. You recovered from the weekend?"

"Lurch! Hey. Yeah your girls did OK. Blondie seems up for the challenge, the other one is more reserved but that's not a bad thing. This meeting still on then?"

"Yeah that's why I'm calling. 4 o'clock. But I thought we could meet before. I thought you might want to give me a break down on things as you saw it." Alex suggested.

"Its OK Vause, she was there but no real contact. At least not with them. She gave me her opinion but nothing to fret about."

"OK." Alex wanted to ask what Sylvie opinion had been but she figured she knew it already. "I'll see you later then?"

"Yeah sure thing lurch." Boo disconnected and Alex returned to her work.

By the time Boo arrived at the Barneys offices Alex had managed to shout at Nicky, upset Suzanne and scare just about every person she spoke too.

"You sure you wanna go in there?" Nicky asked as Boo arrived, "I'm telling you today is not a good day for the boss."

"Why? What have you done?" Boo laughed.

"OK, so I may have said something to blondie I shouldn't, but not anything to cause this level of temper. Here, if you are going in take snacks!" Nicky thrust a tray of coffee and biscuits at Boo then opened the door so she could enter.

"Alex! I hear we are in a delightful mood today, I have just passed your staff cowering in corners and I hear you have also managed to piss of your girlfriend. Quite a talent!"

Alex sighed. "My mood is fine." She muttered. "I just haven't got time for Nicky's juvenile jokes."

Boo frowned, "She's OK. I am guessing this is really about Sylvie?"

Alex looked at the woman before her and nodded. "She was in the past. Firmly in the past. It was better for both of us."

Boo nodded. "I get that, but you must have known your paths would cross one day Alex."

Alex shrugged.

"OK, well she knows Polly and Piper have connections with Barneys, she evidently asked Polly who was there representing. But she did not say she knew you and the girls have no idea, I promise. Piper was pretty oblivious to the whole thing to be honest. She had her head in her phone texting you most of the time! Polly picked up on Sylvie's mood, but assumes it is me she has issues with. Sylvie said she would be watching and not do us any favours, but hopefully we wont need any. I am sure they can launch this product in London without even seeing her."

"Really? Really Boo? Because my understanding is she came to New Haven specifically because she knew Barneys had reps going. Is that right?"

Boo shrugged.

"Shit. OK look I need to talk to Piper about her but I don't want to frighten her any more than she already is about this launch. My past should not affect her future. Its not fair."

"No, you are right. But also you have to remember your past in this case was not your fault, so maybe lets focus on the meeting and then take it a step at a time. I'll handle Sylvie."

O0o

"Its perfect!" Boo grinned looking at Alex she smiled. "The launch will be perfect." She stated firmly hoping Alex knew what she was referring too. "Now Daya has said the packaging is already in stock for another brand so you shouldn't have to wait, the labels can be printed off tonight. So in theory we are good to go within the next 2 weeks. I will confirm with the hotel, book the flights and get back to you tomorrow. Now before you all think of other work, appointments or excuses I am taking you all out to dinner. Nicky tells me the bar across the road has your normal table reserved so I will give you all an hour to get refreshed and see you at the bar."

Boo stood and left with a wave leaving Polly, Piper and Alex staring after her.

"Piper, I promised Pete I would spend tonight with him." Polly frowned knowing her fiancé would not be happy if she bailed.

"Bring him." Alex smiled. "I mean you had better warn him about Boo first, but bring him, he will want to celebrate too I'm sure." She looked at Piper, "Happy?" She asked softly.

Piper smiled. "Yes. Thanks to my early start I was able to work on the basket rather than try to just visualise it."

"I didn't tell Nick you were chickening out." Alex muttered.

"No, Polly said that was probably Nicky teasing."

"I mean it Pipes, this thing is going so well. In 2 weeks you will see your stuff in London."

Piper grinned. "Thanks to you."

"Oh no, all your hard work. Come on, lets go to my office, let Polly talk to Pete then we can go to the bar together."

"I need to change, my outfit is in reception." Piper smiled. "I had it chosen for me."

"Really?" Alex smirked. "I thought that outfit was for a private celebration."

"Maybe that was the intention, but if so it should have been anticipated that things could get hijacked."

Alex thought about the outfit she had chosen for Piper. The infamous button-less shirt and leggings.

"Pipes you really don't have to wear that. I mean I had intended us to have dinner somewhere quiet then go back to mine."

"But instead we go to the bar." Piper grinned. "Let me go grab the clothes then I'll get changed in the wash-rooms and meet you downstairs in 15."

Alex watched Piper leave, pleased her mood had obviously improved now the nerves about the meeting had gone and a little surprised Piper was so willing to wear the clothes today when last night she had acted so shocked.

Piper for her part was a little nervous, it felt far more daring than anything she would normally do. But she had told Polly about her evening with Alex, an edited version of the shower and bath, along with the information Alex had chosen clothes for her to wear, initially to save her having to go home but in reality so she got to choose what Piper wore for their date. Polly had been half amused half sceptical Piper was willing to even consider the outfit without underwear and it was the look she had seen in Polly's eye that spurred her on now. She could do this.

Now as she slipped out of the business skirt and removed the underwear she had taken from Alex's drawer this morning to wear for work, Piper felt more than a little naughty pulling on the leggings. Now fully clothed, minus any under garments, she surveyed herself in the mirror. She was perfectly decently covered. The shirt was fun and a little sexy but nothing gratuitous. The leggings just showed off her long slim legs. She pushed her feet back into her heels and smiled. It may not be an outfit her mother would ever approve of that was for sure, but Piper knew it looked good. As she made her way back to reception she heard someone whistle and turning laughed when she saw Nicky and Boo behind her.

"Now blondie, that is a look I can definitely recommend for London." Boo leered.

Nicky sniggered. "I am guessing the boss hasn't seen you yet, I can assure you she will not be giving that international approval."

Piper saw Alex approach behind the two women and decided to play along. "So you are saying I need to run my clothing choice past Alex first. That I need her approval?"

"Well not her approval exactly," Nicky hedged, "but I am not sure she is going to like …"

"So you don't think I look good?" Piper continued trying to look hurt. "you think Alex will think I don't look good?"

"I think Alex will approve 110%!" Boo sniggered, catching sight of Alex's admiring stare at Pipers butt.

She turned at the sound of Alex's cough.

"So lurch, what do you think?"

"I think I chose well!" Alex winked throwing an arm around Pipers waist and winking at Boo.

Nicky snorted. "There is no way you chose that for Piper to wear knowing we were going to the bar." Nicky muttered.

"No you are right Nick. My idea involved a lot less people in a much more private situation." Alex winked at Piper, "lets get going before I decide Nicky is right after all and I need to escort Piper home for her own protection."

Piper received many admiring glances in the bar and Nicky and Boo took great pleasure in teasing Alex for bringing it on herself. Once she had had a few drinks though Alex tired of the teasing, and of sending threatening glares at strangers, deciding the safest place for Piper was in her arms on the dance floor.

"OK, I was wrong." she admitted holding Piper close. "Those leggings should never be allowed out in public and this shirt now stays at my house and can only be worn within those walls!"

Piper sniggered. "See I was worried but not so upset about the outfit, my concern had always been how the lack of underwear, yet no-one seems to have focused on that at all, and it is really quite liberating. I like when we dance like this I can feel you all over!" Piper winked at Alex pressing herself closer.

"Fuck Piper!" Alex let her hands trail slowly down Pipers back to her butt.

"You had forgotten?" Piper asked more than a little surprised.

"Kind of. I mean you butt looks amazing in these, but then your butt always looks amazing!" she squeezed gently, "and if we had been alone I am sure my memory would have triggered sooner, but seeing Nicky and Boo leering, then watching random guys try to hit on you, my main thought was how stupid I was and what excuse I could devise to get us out of here. Now though …" she shook her head, trying to decide how she could continue the thought process out loud without Piper thinking she was a sleaze.

"Now though, what?" Piper asked curiously, intrigued that Alex was suddenly so tongue tied. She felt Alex kiss her neck, her breath by her ear and she pulled back trying to see Alex's face.

"Come on Al… what?"

"Now I want to take you into the rest-room and fuck you!" Alex said harshly, hating the feeling and knowing she would shock Piper, but unable to deny the desire coursing through her body.

Piper groaned, she hesitated for the briefest of seconds before saying quietly "OK."

Alex snapped her head back. "What?"

"I said OK. I want you too Al. I was wet just thinking about going out with no underwear on, now, feeling your hands on my butt isn't enough." Piper blushed as she spoke.

"What do you want to feel Pipes?" Alex whispered, her gaze intense as she watched Pipers face.

"I want to feel your fingers in me. Now."

Alex didn't answer; she just grabbed Pipers hand and walked off the dance floor. She had been to the bar enough to know that the chances of the bathrooms being completely empty were slim. Shouting an order of shots and beer across the bar to be delivered to the table, she hoped this would at least buy her some time from a nosey Nicky or Boo if they had been watching.

She pushed open the rest-room door and quickly surveying the thankfully empty room, pushed Piper into an end cubicle locking the door. Turning she manoeuvred Piper backwards so her back was now against the locked door and she smiled.

"So Pipes, the thing about sex in public is you need to be quick, quick and quiet." Alex said hers eyes roaming Pipers face looking for signs of doubt, Piper however just nodded seriously.

"Whatever I do to you now, you cant call out, got it?" Alex winked.

Piper nodded once more then pulled Alex closer so she could kiss her. Alex let Piper control the kiss for several long seconds before her desire took over. Without breaking the kiss, or looking down, she untied the knot Piper had tied in the shirt and grinned as Pipers small pert breasts were exposed to her waiting hands. She heard Piper catch her breath as the cool air conditioned air hit her skin, but ignoring her Alex lowered her head and sucked one breast into her mouth, pinching the nipple of the other with her free hand. Piper groaned loudly and Alex stopped immediately.

"Quiet Pipes." She shushed and Piper nodded biting her lip as she looked at Alex who was now sat on the closed toilet lid, pulling Piper towards her. She ran her hands over Pipers legs and butt, grinning as she felt Piper tense, pulling the leggings down in one swift movement Alex wasted no time licking the wetness she could already see leaking from Piper.

Glancing up she saw with satisfaction Piper had her hand in her mouth to stop any noise and her eyes tight shut. Pushing the leggings so they pooled round Pipers ankles, giving herself more room, Alex pushed Pipers legs further apart.

One more swipe of her tongue and Alex could taste and smell Pipers arousal growing, using her fingers she entered two slowly, making sure Piper was ready, and meeting nothing but slippery wetness she latched her mouth onto Pipers clit and began to suck as she thrust hard with her fingers. She knew she needed to make this quick. She could hear Pipers stifled moans and thrust harder, her hand wet from the juices now flowing from Piper, whose hands were tangled in Alex's hair as if for support.

Suddenly the door of the bathroom opened and Piper gasped. Alex moved her mouth just enough to issue a quiet "Sshhh!" but she didn't slow her fingers, instead speeding up. Instead of sucking she teased piper with just the tip of her tongue, feeling her squirm at the sensation and moan quietly. Alex grinned in satisfaction as she watched Piper fight the urge to call out, her breath coming in panting gasps as the increased danger of another person made the situation even more dangerous for her.

Feeling Piper tremble Alex knew she only needed one little push to tip her over the edge, so tweaking one pink nipple and sucking hard on her clit Alex felt Piper fall apart, clamping on Alex's fingers as her whole body shook and the sound of Alex's name she had been biting back escaped her lips. Neither women heard the person leave the bathroom, and it was several long minutes before Piper felt composed enough to even open her eyes let alone leave the stall, instead she held tightly to Alex, feeling her chuckle and kiss her soothingly, while her body calmed. As Alex rearranged her clothing for her, retying the shirt, she stood as if shocked. When she caught a glimpse of her face in the mirror, flushed cheeks, darkened eyes, she knew one glance at her and everyone would know what had happened. She looked at Alex. "I cant go back out there."

"Of course you can Pipes!" Alex grinned. She had straightened her own hair, that Pipers gripping had messed, and rinsed her face and hands. "Believe me Pipes they wont have even noticed." Alex glanced at her watch. "We have been in here less than ten minutes."

Piper reluctantly followed Alex back into the bar and was amazed when Alex was proved right, with hardly a second glance shots were pushed towards them and conversation continued. Piper looked at Polly and saw her friend eyeing her speculatively. "Is Pete not here yet?" Piper asked in what she hoped was an innocent tone.

"Yeah he is at the bar." Polly nodded, still looking curiously at Piper.

Alex leant over, using the opportunity to rest her hand on Pipers upper thigh she gave it a gentle squeeze and said "Pipes, please tell Carrie that you have no desire to see the more seedier sides of London."

Piper grinned. "Nope, sorry Boo. But I am all for doing the whole tourist bit. Seeing the queen and her castles and stuff."

Boo snorted. "You two can do that together." she muttered. "No self respecting dyke would be seen gazing at soldiers in furry hats."

Conversation soon turned to London and foreign travel and Piper felt her excitement for the trip grow. It was only when she felt Alex squeeze her leg, moving it even higher, did she give the tall woman beside her her undivided attention. "You ready to leave?" Alex asked quietly.

Piper smiled and nodded. Saying there goodbyes they walked outside, only to be joined seconds later by Polly and Pete. "You need a lift?" Pete asked.

"I have my car." Alex smiled.

"Piper?" Pete questioned and Piper looked at Alex.

"I can drop Piper off." Alex smiled and kissing her friends good bye Piper watched Pete then Polly get into the car.

"So Pipes, your place?" Alex asked as she steered the car towards home.

"You don't mind?"

"Of course not Piper." Alex smiled. "Tonight was fun, more than fun." she winked and saw piper blush "But I get that work comes first right now. Go rest and I will call you tomorrow." Pulling Piper into her arms she whispered "You were hot tonight Pipes! But remember, these leggings are for my eyes only from now on!"

Once outside her apartment Piper kissed Alex long and hard, she was tempted to ask her in, wanting to touch her, taste her but Alex pulled back. "OK that's enough kid, go sleep!"

Once inside Piper removed her clothes, she stepped into he shower, as she washed she let her hands trace her mound and groaned at the memory of tonight in the bathroom. Had she really done that? It had been so fast, so impulsive. Her emotions so heightened she realised now she had hardly registered what had happened. Climbing out and drying off she pulled on a t shirt and reached for her phone.

"Piper? Is everything OK?" Alex asked concerned Piper was calling so soon after dropping her off.

"Yes everything is fine." Piper smiled. "I just wanted to thank you for tonight. I think I went into shock." she admitted, "I am not sure I even remember half of what you did, but I wanted to thank-you anyway."

Alex chuckled. "You teased me is what happened Piper, first with your words, then lack of undergarments before making me loose my mind!"

Piper giggled "I'm sure that not true."

"Really? Well I got home to find a text from Nicky, she was more observant than I gave her credit for it seems, and more discrete! But she also noticed who it was that came into the bathroom."

"Oh god." Piper groaned. "Who?"

"Lets just say your conversation at work tomorrow could be interesting!" Alex chuckled.

"Polly?" Piper gasped. "Oh god!" She could hear Alex laughing and couldn't but help smile herself.

"OK pipes I'm going to go take a cold shower to squash the images I have in my head from earlier, then go to bed!"

Saying goodnight Piper thought about her day. Alex Vause was certainly showing her a side to herself she had never imagined was there.

o0o

"Morning!" Polly was stood waiting for Piper the following morning a big grin on her face and a coffee mug in her hand.

"Hey." Piper smiled resignedly, knowing instantly Alex had been spot on last night and Polly had indeed been the person to enter the bathroom.

"So," Polly grinned, "I would say I want details but I caught the sound track! God Piper! That was a bit risky wasn't it."

Piper nodded then unable to hold in the grin she laughed, "yeah risky but shit Polly, Alex is amazing and I swear to god she makes me feel things no-one else ever has."

"But a wash room Piper? hardly classy."

"No I know. It was more about need than class!" she smirked. "You know what Polly I am sick of trying to be classy or to do the right thing. Last night we were both horny and just went with it. I don't regret it for a second!"

Polly sipped her coffee and Piper sensing her friend had more questions waited. "You have done that before?" she asked finally.

"No. Definitely my first time." Piper acknowledged. "I had told Alex I wanted to try new things last week, then I mentioned I had no underwear on when we were dancing and before I knew it I was in the cubicle."

"No underwear?" Polly's eyes widened.

"Yeah that was Alex's idea." Piper then went on to explain. "The fact it was a bit of a risk made it exciting but when that door opened though..." Piper closed her eyes remembering the thrill that had gone through her. "Jesus Polly I couldn't have stopped if I wanted too!"

Polly sniggered and then stood up. "OK I get the picture. Alex is a super stud. But stud or not I am assuming she will not be happy if this order isn't filled so lets get working! Oh and I forgot to mention we had a call just before you arrived, as a result of you making a fantastic impression on my mother, and as a result of what seems to be one one-upmanship after you left Sunday, tomorrow your mom is bringing mine here to show her around!"

Pipers feeling she had escaped lightly was quickly followed with the sensation of impending doom.

o0o

"Hey boss call for you." Nicky spoke over the office phone having been unable to speak to Alex alone all morning due to meetings she was frustrated at the lack of teasing she had been able to get in, especially once Alex had all but confirmed it was her and Piper in the bathrooms last night. Now as she put the call through she made a note to buy their lunch and take residence in Alex's office until she had dished the dirt.

"Yes!" Alex snapped, frustrated at the interruption.

"That's hardly a professional manner answering the work phone Alex." Came the voice on the other end of the line.

Alex whole body stilled. "Sylvie?"

"Yes. I think we need to talk don't you?"
