The Reign Of Vause

My Piper

(Alex's POV)

I was in my office in our club in Paris, it was more my office than Piper's since I had the better business brain, I was finishing up the numbers and sales for the club on my computer.
Before I began business, I stood at the doorframe watching Piper where I'd left her at the bar with a bartender I knew she found cute, I'd pulled that bartender aside and pretty much threatened to fire her if she made any sort of move on my wife.
Piper then seemed to get an urge for dancing so went to the dancefloor. Annoyingly, a girl that looked like she was literally just out of her teenage years started to flirtatiously dance with her and I could do nothing about it since I had business to finish. I smirked when Piper asked our DJ to put on ABBA's 'Does Your Mother Know' and directed it at this girl. Smiling, I closed the door and got on with business.

Alex and I had been in Paris for a week now. Alex was in her office finishing up club business while I was at the bar talking to one of our bartenders, Juliette. Ever since Alex had set up this branch in Paris and hired Juliette, I couldn't help but find her cute. She looked like Alex if you squinted just shorter and without the glasses and no tattoos. I'd never go for her because not only was I married but no one compared to Alex in my eyes, not even look-a-likes. Not only was my Alex gorgeous but it was the small details I also loved about her, like her tattoos, her height, her protectiveness, her personality and most of all her unwavering love for me. I think, I hoped, Alex knew that I would love no one else as much as I love her but I knew it didn't stop the little green monster in her. I guess I couldn't blame her with my past discrepancies.
'King' by Years and Years was currently echoing through the club.

"I caught you watching me under the light
Can I realign?
They say it's easy to leave you behind
I don't want try
Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I've compromised
to feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight."

Juliette had made me a 'The Piper' and we were talking at the bar. We had seven other bartenders on each night, making a total of eight bar tenders so she was free to talk to me, especially when my jealous wife was in her office.
"Here we go Madame Vause, one 'The Piper'." She smiled at me as she spoke in her French accent.
"Thank you Juliette. So tell me, I know Alex hired you and got to know you in your interview but I haven't really gotten to know you yet, I'm sorry." I apologise.
"Oh no, Madame Vause, please don't apologise, there is no need! What would you like to know?" She smiled.
"Oh, um, well, where are you from? Apart from France." I stammered, I wasn't nervous but I just hadn't thought about what I wanted to ask her.
She laughed as she cleaned the surface of the bar with a wet cloth,
"I am originally from Marseille but moved to Paris to get my fashion degree." She tells me.
"Oh so this is a student job for you?" I asked her.
"Yes, but I assured your wife that when I get my degree, you shall both get free clothing since you've been so kind in giving me this job." She smiles and tells me.
"Aah no wonder she hired you. But thank you Juliette that's very nice of you." I smiled and she laughed.

Finishing up, I came out of my office with 'King' by Years and Years playing. I immediately spotted Piper back at the bar with Juliette with a 'The Piper' in her hand, laughing with our bartender. I knew she loved me and had committed to our relationship but it didn't stop me from being secretly jealous.
I quickly walked to the bar and grabbed Piper, hooking my hand around her bicep and pulling her with me to the dancefloor, quickly saying, "Nope."
Piper was in the middle of taking a sip of her drink when I did this so almost choked and nearly spilled her drink.
I flashed Juliette warning eyes as if to say,
'Remember what I told you earlier. I'm your boss. She is your boss. She is mine. I can and will fire you.'
Juliette shrank into herself as I walked Piper to the dancefloor, proceeding to dance up close, personal and dirty with her as she happily danced with me, finishing her drink. When she had finished her drink, I raised my hand in the air and snapped my fingers, signalling for a bartender that wasn't Juliette to come and take Piper's glass away. One came and did so immediately so I draped myself around Piper, wrapping my arms around her mid section and kissing her cheek and neck. Years and Years continued to play,

"And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go
Don't you remember how I used to like
Being on the line?
I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name
Is it worth the price?"

"You didn't have to do that to her." Piper chuckled.
I knew what and who she was talking about.
I smiled, looking from Piper to Juliette who was now serving a customer.
"Sometimes, you have to claim what's yours." I purred into her ear then kissed it.
She blushed and smiled,
"Well this isn't one of those times even though I do love jealous Alex. She's just a fashion student doing her job."
I put my head on her shoulder and stared at Juliette.
"That she may well be but I couldn't help but notice that she resembles someone. Now I can't quite put my finger on who she resembles. If you squint and imagine her with tattoos and a lot taller, she would really look like someone I believe you're married to. Maybe that's why you find her cute." I tease Piper, continuing to purr in her ear while holding her tight.
She smiled as if she was holding back giggles.
"That is exactly why I find her cute, she's a mini innocent you, now come here." She smirks, turning around in my arms and draping her own around my neck, kissing me as we continued to dance.
I broke the kiss smirking,
"Since when did you like innocence?"
She laughed.
"True."
