Her Strongest Drug

|10| The Larry Date

Silence filled the Chapman household as Piper and Gemma were the only ones there at the moment. Cal was at a friend's birthday party, Ms. Chapman was out with her girlfriends, and Mr. Chapman, well, he claims he's at the country club, but Piper very well knows that her father is far from being a man of his word.

"Piper honey I made some hot cocoa. It's in the kitchen if you want", Gemma called out to Piper.

Piper walked down the stairs in her comfortable lounge wear as she would call it. Her hair was in a top bun, she wore a baggy tee, and was rocking some comfy, but horrid sweatpants.

"Thanks Nana", she said as she drank some cocoa.

"I can see someone's very comfortable today", Gemma lighty laughed at the blondie's attire.

Piper rolled her eyes playfully, "Yup I'm going on a date".

Gemma's eyes widen, "looking like that mija", she exclaimed.

Piper took another sip and set the cup down again, "Well he's not really someone worth dressing up for".

Gemma shook her head and laughed, then went into the living room to find something else to clean.

Piper's phone vibranted. She looked at the text from a familiar raven hair girl.

Heya blondie. Want
to hang out?

Though Piper considered it she concluded it'd be too rude to cancel on Larry now.

Sorry I can't rn. I
got a date. Maybe
some other time

Oohh. Who's your
date Chapman;)

No one of importance
that's for sure

Damn you don't
sound too excited
for your hot date

Well he's not hot, I
mean, he's okay, but
definitely not hot

Well since you don't
sound too excited about
it, how bout you
blow him off and come
hang with me. I'm hot.

Yes you are. But I
really shouldn't. He's
been asking me since
months ago

Wow. Okay then I'll
leave ya to it. Come
hang out with me after
though pls

I'll try

Alright cool meet
me at my place when
your date's over

Silence in household was broken by a rather loud doorbell. Piper sighed and put her phone down.

As she made her way to the door she could see that Gemma had already opened it.

Piper looked at Larry. He was nicely dressed, not too formal, not too casual, but just right. It was a perfect date attire.

Larry's eyes met Piper's, and he glanced at her outfit.

"Wow", he smiled, "you still look cute even in sweatpants".

Piper couldn't help but let out a little smile.

"Um thanks", she blushed slightly, "you look nice".
