This is my first ever fanfiction so feel free to review and critique! I don't own any of the Oitnb characters or anything else related to it. Chapter 2 will be a bit faster paced, I just had to get everything in order.

Piper was sitting at the bar with her #2 pencil in her right hand and her glass of scotch in her left. Her manager, Polly wanted her to have a new piece of art done by the beginning of the upcoming week. It was already Thursday and Piper hadn't even had a sketch yet. She knew she had to come up with something, she couldn't let Polly down again. Polly had stuck her neck out for Piper over and over again, pushing back deadlines for Piper to get work done for art shows and submitting her products last minute. No one ever even bought her art. Sometimes she wondered why she was even in the art business. Then Piper felt a familiar hand on her shoulder. She looked around her shoulder and met eyes with Polly.

"Hey Piper." Polly smiled at her friend

"Hey Pol." Piper said with a slight sigh

"Uh-oh, what's up?" asked the concerned brunette

"I don't have shit for this piece and the deadline is coming up."

"It's alright Pipes, you'll get it done, you still have a couple days. Maybe you just need to take your mind off of it." Polly said with a devious smile

"What are you thinking Pol?"

"I'm thinking you need a break. C'mon it'll be great." Polly ordered two shots and handed one to Piper.

The two girls downed their drinks and turned around scanning the bar feeling like they were on top of the world. The bar had a surprisingly large dancing area with a room for pool beside it. Polly took Pipers hand and dragged her to the dance floor.

Polly was the first to start dancing, making Piper laugh and soon she too, started dancing. The night was filled with dancing, laughing, and strangers neither girl would remember the next day. Polly was right as usual, Piper completely forgot about her artwork and all the exceedingly shorter deadlines. Piper had let her hair down and relaxed which was something she never did. But, she had to admit it felt pretty damn good. Piper excused herself from Polly and some guy she had met to us the restroom.

As she was about to open the door when a girl opened the door right in her face, hitting Piper in the nose. The girl started laughing and pushed past Piper. Piper had bent down and cupped her nose. Then she heard a voice that seemed to block every other noise in the crowded bar out. It was a raspy voice that was pleasing to the ears.

"Oh my God are you alright? I'm so sorry she did that. What a bitch."

"It's ok, really I'm fine." Piper said in a rushed voice. She knew her nose was bleeding but she didn't want this stranger to see her hurt.

"Fuck you're bleeding. Here, let me help you." The stranger put one arm around Piper to assist her to the bathroom.

Piper felt it immediately. The electric feeling where the stranger had laid her hands on Piper. As they got to the cramped bathroom, Piper was told to sit on the small countertop and wait. Piper stared at the stranger that was being so nice to her. She was breathtakingly beautiful with green eyes and dark hair. Piper quickly averted her eyes to the floor as the beautiful woman came closer with paper towels.

"Alright here you go. Just hold it there and sit still. I'm Alex by the way."

"Well, not to be rude, but I have had a bloody nose before Alex. I'll be fine."

Just then somebody tried to push open the door which caused Alex who was a fair distance away from Piper, was pushed into her making her stomach connect with Piper's knees.

"Fuck." Alex muttered and then shouted

"It's occupied!"

As the person said their apologies, Alex returned her focus to Piper who's breathing had picked up and the wad of paper towel that was soaking the blood of her nose had fallen to the floor. She sat there with a new drop of scarlet blood on her shirt.

"You uh, have blood on your shirt and dropped your towel. You sure you have had a nose bleed before…..?" Alex ended signifying she hadn't gotten the blonde's name.

"P-Piper. My name is Piper." She stumbled over the words still not over the fact of how close the tall woman was to her.

"So your name is Piper huh? How are you feeling? You did take quite a hit to the face earlier." Alex chuckled a bit at Piper's state.

"I'm fine I think. I just have a killer headache." Piper said holding her head

"Yeah well that's normal I assure you." Alex then removed the blonde's hands from her head and then gently opened Piper's eyelids making sure her pupils were responsive, ignoring the currents flowing as their skin touched.

"So what are you Alex, some kind of doctor?" Piper said staring at Alex's tattoo on her forearm.

"No. No, nothing like that. My job is much more exciting than a doctors." Alex said chuckling

"Well then what are you? What is more exciting than a doctor?"

"I work for an international drug cartel." Alex said her face serious

"You're joking right? You have to be." said the blonde in shock

"No, I'm not. Do you have a ride? You really should be getting home."

"Well, my manager Polly was here, but she probably left with her dancing partner. So I don't have a ride, no."

"Well, if you don't mind a bit of clutter, you can come crash at my place."

"Uh, yeah sure. I can do that….you're not a serial killer right?" Piper asked

"No I'm not I swear." Alex laughed at the cute blonde

"Ok well I have to go get my sketchbook first. I left it at the bar."

"Alright let's go get it and take you home to rest." Alex finally removed her stomach from Piper's knees and helped her get off the counter gently.

"Jesus it must have took a while to get her to have an orgasm. You two were in there forever. I have to piss!" The stranger that had tried to barge in earlier pushed past the two into the bathroom.

"Fuck off." Alex called over her shoulder

"It's ok lets just go." Piper said in a calming voice and lead Alex to where her sketchbook was and the two girls got into Alex's car.
