The Reign Of Vause

Landing in Paris

(A/N: I was recently in Paris and I know Vauseman were there in the show so thought I'd include it in this)

(Alex's POV)

Piper and I were currently in our jet about to land in Paris. We'd left immediately after we left the club last night due to the travel time, Piper was really really happy with me last night so let's just say we revisited the mile high club together. I was sitting at the window while Piper sat opposite me, also at a window, asleep. I was looking out at the Paris skyline coming into view. The last time I did this was with the cartel, I'd just buried my mom and lost my only meaningful relationship with another human being besides my mom, so I guess I'd lost both relationships that meant everything to me back then. I had sworn then that I'd never be back to Paris, but here I was, with Piper who was now my wife, on our private jet about to set up another club branch.

Flashback

Fahri, Aydin and I were in that same club when Piper had left me. I missed her and my mom so much it was too hard to bare, I did a lot of heroin that night and some random French chick who wasn't bad looking took an interest in me. Sober me wanted no one but Piper but high, depressed me wanted to forget about her through any and every means possible. I'd taken this girl back to my Paris apartment that Piper used to share with me and went to go get yet more alcohol, I didn't want to remember this and I definitely didn't want to remember this girl who I was about to make very lucky.
I came back with the alcohol and found her with my unlocked phone in her hand. I'd forgotten to lock it. This incensed me immediately. I walked up behind her to see what she was doing and found she was scrolling through my message thread with Piper, most of which was a stream of sexting and I love yous. The last, I don't know, about 20 texts, were all from me to Piper begging her to come back and telling her over and over again that I loved her. They had all been left unanswered.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked this girl, annoyed.
"Oh I am sorry, I saw your screen saver with you and a pretty blonde, your phone was unlocked and a message popped up from someone called 'Fahri', I also saw the name 'Pipes <3' with a little loveheart and was wondering what you are doing with me if you love her?" She confesses and asks in her French accent.
I was angry enough that I'd found this girl with my phone but was really annoyed when she confessed she had been reading through my texts with my only true love.
"That is none of your fucking business. You know what, this is definitely a mistake, get out." I tell her angrily, snatching my phone out of her hand and locking it. I dragged her to the door and threw her out, handing her her coat and closing the door in her face.
She'd brought up memories I was trying to forget and I couldn't help but cry. I also couldn't bring myself to change my screensaver from Piper and I to something else, it just seemed too final, like the last nail in the coffin of my relationship. I grabbed the bottle of wine again, slumped on the bed and spent the night drinking and crying over Piper, heroin on my nightstand to top the night off.

We were about to land in Charles de Gaulle Airport and Piper was still asleep. I thought I'd let her sleep until we landed so that's what I did. When we landed, I kissed her on the lips to wake her up, we were back in the city of love together so why not?
Her eyes fluttered open and she stretched. Being stuck on a jet for hours in the same position was bound to make her muscles hurt a bit.
"Hey sleeping beauty, we're here." I tell her, smiling.
"Mmmm what time is it?" She asked sleepily.
"Just gone 9:30AM, what with the time difference and everything." I tell her.
She stretched her hands out to me,
"Come here." She sheepishly smiled as I did what I was told. When I was close enough, she put her hands around my neck as I leaned down so my body was in the shape of an 'L' again above her.
"I still, cannot, believe that you did this for me, for us. I love you Alex Vause." She smiled and kissed me.
"Hmmm je t'aime plus Piper Vause." I purred in French in response to her. In English this translated to 'I love you more.'
"Mmmmmm babe stop, talking to me in French when we've just landed in Paris is way too sexy, we've already had sex once today on this jet, if you're not careful, there'll be a second time." She tells me. I quirked an eyebrow and smirked at the thought, continuing to reply to her in French if she found it sexy.
"Eh bien, si c'est le cas, tu ne m'arrêteras jamais mon amour." I smirk at her. Piper was fluent in Spanish, I was fluent in French due to my past in always being posted in mainly Paris and Belgium but she knew some French so knew what I was saying. She raised an eyebrow at me.
In English this translated to, 'Well, if that's the case, you'll never stop me my love'.
She got up and grabbed my hand, marching me off the jet as I smirked.
