Dazzle

Piper's POV

I settle myself in the corner of the store while I let Alex, choose the phone she wants. I open my phone and check my emails.

I look up and see Alex, is looking at the new edition iPhone. I can't stop admiring her. She's so hot.

I shift my eye from her and that's when I notice the sales lady eyeing Alex's ass, she tilt her head to the side and shake her head a little. She's checking out my wife.

Alex's back is facing me so I can't see her face.

The lady started walking toward my wife and stop a few inches from her. I saw her fix her hair and smoothen her clothes. She even took a deep breath. She then walk over to my wife and say something to her but I couldn't hear them so I just watched perplexed.

I saw Alex, point her finger on the phone.

The sales lady just kept staring at my wife and then I notice her eyes widen and her face turns red. She even lost her balance and start to shift her foot to gain stability. I wonder what Alex, is saying to her. She looks uncomfortable.

I can feel my heart beating faster. I'm confused as to why the sales lady would react that way. I wonder what Alex, said to her apart from just buying a phone. This is bad.

And then out of nowhere she laughed a little too loud. Another sign of distress.

I watch her open her mouth to say something and she touch Alex's arm. 

"Perfect". I heard Alex, says triumphantly.

"What the hell!". I said mentally. I know what's going on here.

I walk over to Alex, and I wrap my right arm around her waist.

"Sweetie, did you find something you like?". I said sweetly but keep my eyes fix on the lady.

I then lean my head on Alex's left shoulder purposely to mark my territory. I held up my hand and put it on Alex's arm to show my wedding ring. I watch the lady's eyes move to Alex's hand and saw her wedding ring too.

"Yes, I like this one". Alex, replied.

"We'll get this". I hissed at the sales lady.

"And AirPods too". I am so pissed at this point.

She started walking away.

"That's right bitch! Keep walking" I said mentally.

"What is wrong with you?". Alex asked bemused.

"Nothing". I snapped at her and started following the lady over the counter.

I keep shooting daggers at her. She kept her head down probably trying to avoid my glare. Alex, stand beside me and I move a little to the side careful not to make body contact with her.

After paying, Alex, grab the bag from the counter.

"Thank you". I heard her say to the lady.

"Um, no problem". The lady responded and she immediately turn around and went inside the back door. Probably too embarrassed.

I snatched the bag from Alex, and storm out of the store.

"Really, Piper?". She said exasperated.

I walk briskly not going to the car but toward the street. I cross the road and just continue walking.

Alex, is half running behind trying to keep up with me.

She reach me and grab my arm roughly.

"What the hell is wrong with you?". She asked frustrated.

"You were flirting with her!!". I said on the verge of tears.

"What? Oh you mean with that woman?". She said amused.

"Hey, I was not flirting with her, I was just trying to be...charming?". She said sounding unsure.

"Yes you were and don't you even lie to me". I shouted.

"I am not lying to you. Come on, babe. I was just trying to get a discount from her. That's all. You saw how expensive that thing is. I didn't even think she'll fall for it. 

Can we not fight about this please? I hate it when we're fighting". Alex, begged

"I'm sorry".

I understand what she meant and then I suddenly feel bad for the sales lady.

"You know it's not fair what you're doing to people. I told, Alex.

"Do what?".  She asked confused.

"Dazzle them like that". I said certainly.

She looked at me confused.

"Oh come on, Al you should know the effect you have on people". I said frustrated.

Alex, scrunch her eyebrows.

"You think everybody gets their way so easily?". I criticized.

She looked at me with her gleaming smile.

"Do I dazzle you?". She asked me playfully.

It took me a few seconds to answer her. I am contemplating if I'm going to answer her truthfully or not. 

Fuck it! I'm still a little mad at her.

"What? No, of course not.. never". I said defensively.

I turn around to hide my reaction.  I don't want her to read my face and figure out that she dazzle me all the damn time.

I started walking back to our car briskly.

"I think you're lying and I think it's cute that you're jealous". Alex, whispered in my ear while trying to keep up with me.

"I don't know what you're talking about". I said trying to hide my smirk.

"I dazzle you don't I?". She said very amused.

"Stop that! I'm still mad at you".

"You're mad at for getting a discount? Come on, Piper".

We reach our car now and I slid inside.

"Why are you still mad at me?". Alex, asked when she gets in the car.

"Because I can, so stop questioning me!". I said acting mad.

"Oh right, okay". Alex said in surrender.

We spend the rest of the day shopping. Going to a dozen different stores to buy clothes and shoes for, Alex.

We got home very late that night.

We made 3 trips going back to the car just to unload everything we bought. We decided to place everything in the living room for now. We don't have the energy to mind it now. We'll do it in the morning. 

Alex, went to take a shower first while I am in the living room trying to relax. My body aches but atleast we got everything we need.

"It's your turn, go freshen up so we can both go to bed I am exhausted. I'm not sleeping without you. I'll wait here". Alex said.

I got up and started walking to the bathroom. I strip my clothes and just let them drop on the floor. Too tired to even put them in the hamper.

The warm water feels so good on my body. Already, I feel a lot better. My muscles relax a little bit.

After shower I went outside to look for, Alex. I found her sitting on the floor. Her right arm drape over the sofa and her head resting on her arm. Sleeping.

She look so pretty wearing an oversized shirt and underwear. Her wet hair all over her face.

She look so peaceful and vulnerable. Alex, is not the one to show weakness to other people. I am the only person she trust to show her vulnerable side. She may look tough but she is the most gentle person I know. I love her so much I promise myself I will look out for her and I won't let anything or anyone harm her.

"Alex, baby". I try to wake her up gently. "Let's go to bed".

"Kay". She replied but she didn't move.

"Hey come on, lets go". I hold her arm and help her get up. She was so tired that her eyes were barely open and I have to hold her and drag her to bed.

I place her gently on the bed and she lay down and roll over. I grab the blanket and pull it over her body. I lean down and kiss her on the cheek.
