Polly stood in the door way, her big brown eyes wide open, flickering back and forth between the blonde and the raven-haired woman before her. Her eyebrows glued in their heightened positioned.
Alex's smirk grew every second as Polly's jaw lowered in pure shock.
The shorter woman shook her head, blinked vigorously and locked her eyes onto Alex's. She drew her pointer finger in Alex's direction before bending it toward her, beckoning the tall woman to her.
Alex rolled her green eyes before shifting slowly out of bed once again, allowing the blanket to fall back onto the bed, exposing Alex's near naked, perfect body.
Polly's eyes shifted around the room, taking in the mess that the two had clearly created in a frenzy. She turned on her heel as Alex approached, leading them back into the kitchen.
They stood together, not quite face to face as Alex had quite a few inches on the petite brunette.
Polly raised her hands, trying to choke out words..
"God, could you put on some fucking clothes?" She sputtered, causing another shit eating grin from Alex's lips.
"I could, not I won't" Alex shrugged it off as she shifted her weight, clearly not very involved in whatever Polly wanted with her.
"So, uh.. you're.. well.. you're in my house… in my bed… with…"
"Piper." Alex finished her thought, eyes patronizing as ever, nodding slightly.
"What the fuck?!" Polly nearly shrieked.
"Shh, jesus fuck, you're gonna wake Piper. I'll have you know she's very tired" The famous grin returned, causing Polly to groan in distaste.
"I really don't give a fuck if she wakes up! You're in my house! You fucked in my bed!" UGH!" She visibly shook off her disgust.
"Yeah.. Sorry about that Holly, Piper took me here and who was I to say no?" Alex smiled a fake polite smile.
"Really? Still with the Holly?" She growled slightly, growing annoyed.
Polly weighed her options but ultimately as she leaned around Alex to go wake Piper up, she found Piper stumbling in, yawning like a small child after their nap.
"Alex, baby, what are you doing up?" She grumbled as she opened her eyes to find her best friend peering around Alex's half naked body. She immediately jumped back with an audible gasp.
"Oh god, Polly?!" Piper picked up the blanket to cover herself more, feeling more exposed with Alex's toned figure on display in front of her. "What.. uh.. Welcome home… I can explain.."
"Please do.." Alex and Polly joined in unison, causing Piper to scold Alex. She knew she found this hilarious but Piper felt embarrassed and did not know what she would say to Polly.
"Well.. you see…" Piper eyes went innocent. "I ran into Alex in the store and well, it had been a while so, we got together and well, I couldn't bring her to my place obviously." Piper ended the story abruptly, feeling her cheeks going red.
"So, naturally, you pick my house, great. Were you going to wash the sheets atleast?" Polly whined.
Pipers eyes shot toward the ceiling, giving away her true answer. "Aww, common Pipes, gross" Polly huffed, moving around the two woman, trying to avert her gaze from their nakedness.
"Piper, would you like to come to my place?" Alex grabbed the blonde lovingly, pulling Piper into her warm embrace.
"Oh, Alex, I probably should be getting home."
Alex released her instantly, feeling a wave of hurt wash through her. She panicked a little, not knowing if she'd see Piper again.
"Got cha" Alex went back to the bedroom to retrieve her clothing.
Piper followed eagerly.
They both dressed in silence, quickly as to let Polly get back to her apartment as it should've been, unoccupied.
"Alex, wait" Piper whispered, grabbing her by the wrist.
"Can I see you again?"
"I don't know, can you?" Alex copied back, childishly.
"I can… I shouldn't… but I want to.." Piper's blue eyes burrowed into Alex's, forcing Alex's resolve to disappear.
"So, should I wait for you to call me?" Alex chuckled, feeling the irony of how highschool it all felt.
"Yes, and I promise, I will call." Piper smiled before leaning in, connecting their soft lips for a long, wondrous moment.
"Alright, you better Piper Chapman."
They walked out of the room, hand in hand, causing Polly to throw another questioning look.
"Piper, were gonna need to talk"
"I know Poll, I know.." Piper kept walking, seeing Alex out.
"I'll be in contact soon Miss Vause." Piper whispered seductively.
Alex let out of moan. "See to it that you will." Alex added with her deep raspy voice, kissing the blonde again before disappearing from Piper's view.
Piper shut the door with a satisfied smile, before turning to face the wrath of Polly.
….
…
…
"I'm surprised you agreed to come here with me." Alex hooked her arm, allowing Piper's to slide through. They walked through the crowd slowly, as a joined pair, watching men, women and children talk, laugh and stuff their faces with food.
"Why are you surprised?" Piper's curious blue eyes searched for Alex's whose remained straight ahead, always scanning her surroundings. Out of habit she still searched for Piper's face in the crowd, even though the blonde was next to her. She searched for Piper's face everywhere she went.
"It's just so public!" Alex chuckled. "What if we run into Carol? Or better yet, Barry?" Alex's mouth formed a tight line.
"Ehh, I don't care" Piper brushed it off easily, finally causing Alex's green eyes to lock with hers. Alex's eyesbrows furrowed.
"You don't care?" She questioned in disbelief.
"Nope." Piper stated simply, they continued walking past various food trucks, neither of them hungry enough to look at the menu's.
"I find that hard to believe Miss Chapman." Alex locked her arm tighter, leading her through the thick crowd toward a clearing where they could sit in the grass and enjoy the sun while listening to the band playing.
"Its true, I've spent time loving you, loving him and I've spent time with my parents. Of all this time, I've carefully collected, analyzed the data and made a though out decision that I was the happiest with you. So, I'm choosing you. As long as you'll have me of course." Piper stated, as if she was discussing the weather.
"You mean like, choosing me for the moment. Piper I'm not some puppy that you get for Christmas and stop wanting after a few weeks. I can't be, not again. So don't mess around and get me thinking this is going to be something if you're just going to turn back around to your fucking boyfriend in a week."
"I'm serious Alex!" Piper cried out. "It was never really going anywhere with him, finding you again has made me feel more alive than I have in years. I want this. I want to be out with you, enjoying our lives, being happy."
Alex paused, wanting to just accept this and jump in with both feet but she felt so reserved, afraid to be hurt again.
"I don't expect you to believe me right away, I know it will take time, but I'm here Alex. I'm not going anywhere. I'll figure out the details later but right now, were here. I'm not going anywhere." Piper kissed Alex softly as they sat in the grass. Piper laid back, allowing the sun to hit every part of her skin. She smiled as she felt Alex do the same next to her.
"I heart you" Piper spoke softly.
"You heart me?" Alex chuckled. "What is that, some sort of I love you for pussies?"
Piper giggled back. "Say pussy again"
Alex rolled her eyes and sighed happily. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this way.
