Alex and Piper came home from their vacation and it took no time at all for Piper to settle into Alex's apartment. Before their trip, the two women had been spending so much time together anyway that moving in just felt natural. The first week they lived together they enacted a "no clothes rule" and neither was allowed to wear anything any time they were in the apartment. Needless to say, the sex was frequent and intense.
It's been a month now and Piper and Alex are living in bliss. They both love coming home to each other every day and getting to spend the whole night together.
It's a Friday morning now and Piper and Alex are eating breakfast before work.
"Want to do dinner here tonight, Pipes?" Alex asks before taking a bite of cereal.
"Yeah! I'll cook something for us." Piper smiles. She loves nights in with Alex just as much as she loves going out.
"Thanks baby." Alex smiles.
"What do you feel like eating? I'll make one of your favorites."
"You sure?"
"Yeah! I want to cook for you." Piper says.
"Could you do chicken cutlets and those potatoes you make that I love?" Alex asks.
"Of course babe." Piper smiles, squeezing Alex's hand.
"Mmm thank you." Alex says.
"Thank me later." Piper says in a seductive voice.
"Happily." Alex winks.
At work, Alex is writing an email when Nicky comes to her desk.
"Hey Vause, guess what?" Nicky asks with a smile.
"What's up?"
"We got the deal!" Nicky exclaims.
"Are you kidding me?!" Alex asks excitedly.
"Yup! I just heard." Nicky grins.
"Hell yeah!" Alex exclaims.
Alex and Nicky's company has been trying to make a deal with another company that will bring more business and money to theirs. The past week it looked like the deal wasn't going to go through, so this is very welcome news to the two women. It means a lot more money for them, as well as more prosperity for the company as a whole.
"We're going out for drinks tonight to celebrate!" Nicky cheers.
"Perfect!" Alex responds. Then her expression changes. "Wait, I told Piper I'd be home for dinner."
"Vause, you know I love Piper. But what are you two? A hetero couple from the fifties?!" Nicky laughs.
"She's making one of my favorite dinners, special for me." Alex says.
"That's great Vause, but this is a special occasion. Piper will understand."
"When are you going?" Alex asks. She could use a drink with her coworkers, but she was also looking forward to dinner with Piper.
"The boss is letting us all off at 4, we're going then." Nicky answers.
"Okay, perfect. So I'll go with you guys after work, have one drink, and be home in time for dinner with Piper." Alex says.
"That's the spirit!" Nicky cheers. "You going to text Piper to let her know?"
"No need, I'll be home in time for dinner with her. No point in bothering her with details." Alex shrugs.
"Whatever you say." Nicky shrugs. Nicky knows Alex should probably give Piper an update, but Nicky isn't going to push it. Alex is still new to this, but she has to do it her own way. Alex isn't going to do something just because someone told her to.
