Alex wasn’t sure what to think, what to feel in that moment. After all she had JUST met this girl and then of all sudden everything changes. She was mad at herself for expecting anything from anybody anymore. Suddenly the disappointing feelings from Carmen earlier that night came rushing back. Her head was swirling and she realized she had been dazed out ever since Piper broke the news.

Alex dropped her hands from their embrace and stepped back, away from the blonde.

”Ohh…” Alex mustered up the only reaction she could come up with at that moment.

”I’m sorry for the blunt delivery…” Piper said putting her hands to her temple and looking down, obviously as frustrated as Alex in this moment.

They stood like this for a few seconds then the blonde looked up at Alex and walked closer to her.

”I was already considering breaking up with him before tonight and now…” she said with a sideways grin, ”…now i’m considering it even more, honestly,” looking up at Alex directly into her perfect eyes.

Piper put her hands around Alex’s waist as she finished her remark.

Alex had a confused look on her face and was definitely in a swirl of emotions over everything that had happened that night. ’This is ridiculous’ she thought. They had just met a few hours ago and now Alex was already disappointed. She blamed her current feelings on loneliness and alcohol. Surely those two are to blame for this swirl of emotions in her head.

”So let me get this straight…” Alex said, once again stepping back, away from Piper.

”You currently have a boyfriend, but you’re considering leaving him?” Alex scoffed.

She doesn’t do drama and that is exactly what this sounds like. Angry boyfriend, hot girlfriend, then throw in the ’side-chick,’ that would be Alex. No. Nope. No way. Not doing this! There were plenty of other perfectly good looking women in this bar tonight, ’Why did I have to choose this one?’ Alex thought to herself. This whole- getting feelings for a complete stranger- thing was not typical of Alex. Making out at a bar which led to waking up next to a complete stranger, that was more like Alex but there were never feelings developed. She loved the release the strangers gave her then the satisfaction of not having to deal with the drama of a relationship.
