Alex POV:

"Hey Pipes,"

"Yeah?"

"Do you remember my lame pick up lines?"

"Alex. NO."

"Hey girl did you sit in a pile of sugar?"

"Alex…"

"Because your ass is pretty sweet!"

Piper had the look of "are you fucking kidding me?" written on her face, but right beneath it you could tell she was trying not to laugh.

"I don't know why you pretend you don't love them Pipes." I said with a cocky grin on my face.

"I've heard them all before, weirdo."

Flashback

When I first met Piper outside of school that night I knew she was someone special. She wasn't like any of the other girls that I would get together with every so often. Piper was…Piper. We spent a lot of time together inside and outside of school getting to know each other.

Every one knew that Piper and I had a thing for each other, but it was nothing official yet. Yeah we acted like we were already in a relationship, but I didn't want to rush anything with her. We both agreed that it would be ok to see other people, it was a little harder because people knew exactly how we felt about each other.

"Ok so I want to use this cheesy line on Cheyenne but I need you to approve first."

"Alright go." Piper said. She was practically sitting on my lap with her head on my shoulder trying to take a nap, not really paying attention to whatever was going on during the school assembly.

"People call me Alex, but you can call me later…How's that?" She usually laughed right after one of my horrible pick up lines but this time she didn't say anything.

Piper sat up straight and looked over at me, taking my attention away from the principal's speech. The look on her face told me she was about to ask a question and I was unsure if I would be able to answer it. "How would you ask out someone that you really like?"

"Uhh, well if I were to ask out the girl that I really really like, I wouldn't use one of those lame pick up lines."

"Then what would you do?"

"I'd make it special." I said while looking Piper in the eyes. She gave me a soft smile and returned her head to my shoulder and I gave her a kiss to the top and got lost in thought. Forget Cheyenne. I said to myself, I'm getting my girl.

The Next Week

A whole week had gone by since Piper asked me how I'd ask out the girl I really like, so that gave me one week to think of something amazing right? I've been planning all week and it's now Friday again and I was still trying to figure out the best way to ask Piper to be my girlfriend. She was already a little pissed at the fact that after I dropped her off at school I left because I "didn't feel like staying". I needed just a little more time. This had to be perfect!

I wanted to get back to school before lunch started so I could get Piper and we could head off, but things took a lot longer then expected and I didn't get there until the tardy bell rang for 6th period. I hurried down the hall to her class and saw that the teacher wasn't even there yet which means roll call hadn't been done. Yes. I walked in through the back door and got a couple of looks from the kids in the room but I didn't have time to deal with them. Underclassmen. I was there for Piper. She sat near the front; she didn't see me coming up behind her so I covered her eyes with my hands.

"Ugh. I really hate when people do this to me! Whoever this is can you just tell me, I don't want to guess I'm not really in the mood."

I kept my hands over her eyes and leaned in closer to her ear to whisper something only she could hear in a low husky voice that I know will give me away, "What are you in the mood for then?"

I could feel her smile and immediately she ripped my hands off her face and turned around in her chair, "Alex?! What are you doing here?"

"I came to get you so lets go before your teacher gets here."

"Al I can't skip, you know that."

"Pipes come on! Just this one time I promise it'll be worth it please!" I pleaded with her.

She looked at me for a while like she was trying to figure something out before standing up and pulling me out the door with her. With every step to the parking lot she would ask where we were gonna go.

The whole car ride over Piper kept trying to figure out where we were going but there was no way I was dropping any hints on this one.

We pulled up to the parking lot in the woods that was close to the elementary school and I quickly got out to run around to open Piper's door for her. She smiled at me and grabbed my hand, "lead the way" she said. There was no turning back now.

We were walking for a good 5 minutes, hand in hand, deeper into the woods before Piper finally broke the silence by saying, "Al if your plan was to kidnap me and hide my body in the woods then you can just stop righ—"

"Piper. Shut up we're here already." I don't think she's ever realized how cute she is when she starts to ramble on about something. Piper didn't say anything after that so I turned to look at her. Her mouth was slightly open and she was staring in awe at what was ahead.

"Alex..how? How did you do all of this? What's this for?"

Years ago I came out here and attempted to build a tree house, and everyday after school last week I came out here and spent the night finishing it for Piper. "You." I simply responded and pulled her over to the bottom of the tree. "Go up" I said and watched as she climbed up the ladder.

Once Piper was all the way inside I ran over to a bush where Nicky was hiding with the flowers I asked her to buy, "Good luck Vause." She said as she hit my shoulder and ran off. When I got to the top, I was greeted with Piper comfortably sitting wrapped up in the blankets that I had arranged up there.

"Hey."

"Hey, I got these for you." I said as I handed her a bouquet of pink roses.

"I give you points for remembering what my favorite flowers are." She said with a smile on her face.

"Points? That's all I get?"

I comfortably sat next to Piper up in the tree house. There was a nice breeze that blew through the woods in the afternoon, and with the river not that far away it got cooler into the night.

"Well…what do you want?"

I looked away from the wall and looked over to Piper who was already looking at me with questioning eyes. "The one thing I really want right now is…well I…I want , I want you Piper. I want you to be my girlfriend."
