"...Hello?" the raspy morning voice broke as she spoke. Alex tries to clear her throat quickly, while the drunken memories of the previous night flooded her brain.

"Oh, well, it's good to know your alive. After that beautiful rendition you left on my voicemail last night, I thought for sure I would have to call all the hospitals in the area; clearly you must have been on the brim of alcohol poisoning to try to hit that high note." A familiar voice replies.

"Piper… I.. I didn't think I would hear from you, at least not this soon." The green eyed woman ignores the jabs at her inebriated inspired singing.

"Well, I thought I should at least return your call. You know, just to make sure you were alive." The blonde quickly justifies herself. "Is there something you needed…? Because I thought I made it very clear that we are done Alex." The once joking tone turns cold at a rapid pace.

"Pipes, I'm sorry. Seriously, please, I majorly fucked up, I realize that and it can't be too late. I love you, Piper.." Alex hesitates, swallowing any ounce of pride she has left. "Piper, I need you. You are my entire world and I don't know how to function without you."

The line remains silent, far too long for Alex's anxiety.

She closes her eyes, trying to prepare herself for the impending rejection. She knows it's different this time. She knows she crossed a line.

"Prove it." The words come through the receiver confidently.

"H-how?" Alex sits up quickly, immediately regretting such a sudden movement. Her stomach turns and her head pulsates at every sound and the bright light beaming through the window of her living room. She finds her glasses on the floor next to the bottle of vodka she almost finished. As she places them on her head, she tries to rack her brain to find an action bold enough to 'prove herself'.

"Well, normally I'd say figure it out, but I'll go a little easier on you since you've clearly had quite a night." Piper responds effortlessly. Without missing a beat she continues. "Quit your job."

"Quit? How am I supposed to pay bills?" Alex asks with a mild concerned tone seeping through.

"I don't know, apply to other places? If you're serious and you want me back. Quit." Piper commands once again. "I'll come back home and help with the bills until you can find something that doesn't require you to be so stressed and busy all hours of the day, every day of the week." The blonde lacks any sign of wavering.

Alex's heart rate quickens when she hears the blonde say she will come back home. Our home. Where you belong. She thinks quietly.

"Okay. done." Alex doesn't take more than two seconds to consider the obligation. Surely everything she has worked towards in her company for the past 5 years will go straight down the drain, but there is no doubt in her mind it's the right thing to do to get Piper back.

"Really? I'm not kidding Alex, I swear I won't come back if you do not quit." Piper asks, not expecting such a sudden, positive answer.

"I miss the fuck out of you, so yes really. I'll send my two week notice in today... please come home." She adds softly toward the end.

Piper pauses a moment and Alex silently prays to herself that the blonde was serious.

"I'm on my way, Alex."

Without another word, Alex lets out the longest sigh of relief she has felt in over two weeks.

She falls back onto the leather couch with her eyes closed, letting every body ache, muscle tension and worry roll off her in waves.

The raven haired woman paces around the apartment, cleaning up the mountains of clutter that accumulated over the past few weeks. Empty bottles of alcohol, endless takeout containers and stacks of books scattered throughout the rooms.

She sprints around the room, despite the nagging pain in her head and body from the unpleasantries of Drunk Alex's idea of a fun night.

She hears a car pull up as she finishes wiping the counters down to get a cleaner smell into the air. Alex wasn't ready to fully admit how much of a mess she was without Piper.

As the blonde walks up the three concrete steps, Alex meets her half way, flinging the door open, successfully startling Piper.

"Jesus Alex, in a hurry?" She smiles at the taller woman.

Alex cant help herself. She takes one large stride out of the doorframe and into the personal space of the younger woman. Piper barely has time to react, setting down her suitcases seconds before she's pulled into a bear hug.

She inhales Alex's scent and can't stop the sigh of comfort she feels to have this embrace that she was craving for months on end. An embrace that radiated love, affection and attention. She basked in the moment, letting Alex squeeze her tighter than normal.

"I'm so sorry Piper, things are going to change. You deserve more love and attention. I'm sorry it took so long for me to realize how much I was hurting you." Alex lessens her hold without removing her arms completely.

"Why don't you show me how much you appreciate me by bringing me inside." Pipers voice lowers an octave, causing the fine hairs to stand on Alex's arms.

Her green eyes search Pipers blue eyes, narrowing as she read the lust filled expression the blonde can no longer conceal.

Alex quickly grabs the two large suitcases, sticking them just inside the door and without another moment to waste, she grabs Piper by the waist. Their lips meet and mold into each other's. The familiarity and softness causes both of their hearts to race. Alex hikes the younger woman up to support her weight as she wraps her long legs around Alex's hips. She guides them toward the bedroom, trying not to stumble into anything as their frantic kissing turns messier with need.

Alex allows piper to fall back from her grip onto the King bed beneath her. She takes the moment while Piper marvels up at her to remove her T-shirt, revealing a black bra that the blonde had dubbed as her all time favorite.

Pipers tongue darts out quickly over her bottom lip before biting down at the view.

The famous smirk she receives from the standing woman causes a sudden pang of excitement to ripple through her body. Piper lets her fingers travel toward her own jeans. She waits until Alex's eyes flicker down to the movement and she proceeds to unbutton and unzip them at a slightly slower pace.

She watches the raven haired woman's expression while she moves one hand down to slide beneath her lacy underwear, that Alex is sure she wore on purpose. A soft moan comes from the blonde as she hits the aching touch she feels growing rapidly.

Alex doesn't move, she wants nothing more than to continue watching Piper but she also has a demand growing inside her to be the one that gives Piper the relief she craves. After another minute of studying Pipers every movement, she carefully and gracefully hooks her fingers on both sides of the blondes jeans and pulls them off in one fluid movement.

The sudden movement causes a pause of ministrations from the blonde. She stops her hand, but keeps it in place, knowing it will drive Alex absolutely wild.

The taller woman hands slide up Pipers abdomen under her shirt to meet a thin bra. She easily snakes under it to allow her hand to form over Pipers breast. The soft squeeze she gives causes another unexpected moan to rise out of the blondes throat. She notices the hand below her that regains movement at a quicker pace. Alex quickly grabs her wrist and gently but firmly removes it.

"Ah ah ah" Alex clicks her tongue and shakes her head quickly. "This" she uses the hand once grasping at Pipers breast to now cover the thin fabric over the blondes center.

"This is all mine. I will be the one that touches it, in any way I please." She commands the blonde who fights the waves of excitement at all the attention and possessiveness Alex is giving her.

She loves to be commanded by her. It takes no effort to give in completely, raising her hands on either side of her head, signaling Alex to do as she pleases with her.

The taller woman smiles devilishly, loving how submissive Piper is. She briefly considers teasing piper but she wants to show the blonde how apologetic she really is and is desperate to reconnect their closeness.

"Because I also want you to know how much I love and adore you, luckily for you, I won't make you wait… too long." She smiles softer, lowering herself over the blonde. Her mouth places softer kisses on Pipers tanned skin above her navel. She works her way down, letting her hands roam all over her body, stimulating every nerve end in Pipers body.

Her face is inches from the thin black fabric and the younger woman begins to squirm underneath her. Alex places a hand on her abdomen, lightly but firmly holding Piper's restless body down.

She uses her free hand to lightly travel up her left thigh, grazing the junction where her leg and pelvis meet. Two long fingers trace patterns on the lace, admiring every detail. She pulls the fabric to the side, revealing glistening lip. Pipers breath begins to labor as she feels Alex's two fingers slide easily through her, just barely allowing the tips inside. She starts at the warm entrance where most of the wetness is accumulating. She coats her skilled fingers easily and drags them toward her clit, earning a delightfully pleasant gasp from the woman under her. Alex makes the same movement once more, pushing her fingers a little deeper before removing most of them and traveling up to her clit once more to circle over the bundle of nerves once more. Just as Piper is ready to let out a moan of appreciation, Alex swiftly returns to the warm entrance below and makes no hesitation to insert both coated fingers into Piper to their full extent. A mix between a gasp and moan escapes Pipers throat and her back arches off the bed. Alex leaves them there for a moment, letting Piper enjoy every second.

"Mmm, all this for me? I guess you missed me too huh? Jesus, you're so fucking wet Piper.

She repeats the motion again and on the third reentry, she curls her fingers upward, hitting the soft spot on Pipers inner walls that Alex knows drives Piper absolutely mad. Her tongue also joins the fun at the exact moment. She sets a rhythm for both her hand and tongue, giving equal stimulation from both. It takes less than two minutes before Pipers breathing is shallow and the long string of moans turns into a scream of pleasure as Alex brings her to the cusp of her orgasm. The taller woman speeds up right as she feels Pipers walls clenching down and her rib cage rises, trying to pull in all the air she can.

The blondes body goes stiff and she lets out one final, very loud' "Fuckkkk, Oh God Alex, don't stop, oh fuck, I'm gonna come!"

Her body stiffens instantly and all the pressure from her core rises through her throat to give off the loudest moan Alex has ever heard from the blonde.

Alex continues until Piper's body starts to shake and go limp. The release signals the taller woman to slow down to a near stop, not wanting to overstimulate Piper and ruin the post orgasm bliss. She gives one more long lick over Piper, resulting in an visable shudder from the blonde. Alex climbs upward, leaving small kisses up the blondes body as she lays next to the tired woman. Piper smiles sleepily, knowing Alex is next to her.

"That, was just what I needed." The blonde mumbles barely audibly as she turns to cuddle into Alex's chest.

"I love you, I'm so glad your home." She closes her eyes. "I'm going to make sure you never feel like you have to leave again. I promise." Alex kisses her forehead and gently rakes her fingers through the soft hair, earning small hums of appreciation.

"I love you too" Piper replies against Alex's warm neck where she's taken up residency. She knows somewhere in the blissfully sleepy brain that the older woman needs to hear it back.

The words aren't clear but Alex knows what she said and holds her tightly. She smiles and lays peacefully, enjoying every moment of the blonde she can, making up for lost time.
