"You fucking asshole!" I scorn the stupid, bitchy blond that lies on the bunk opposite mine, sharing my, pathetic, lousy ghetto. Her cocky grin sent a fire of hatred tingling through my veins to the tips of my fingers, itching for action. The desire to feel my hand connect roughly with her face was barely in my control, the temptations to release a rage that has been cooped up inside me too long. I couldn't put up with much more of this. Hell knows if I'd have that power next time I see her companion, ' little miss Christ' please the bitch couldn't tell the difference between the ' sheep and the goats'. "What the fuck did you do with my mattress?" With that I examined the hard wiring frame of the bunk, that once had occupied bedding, even if I could sleep on that, I'd have terrible cramp the next day and sore muscles to prevent me slapping the religious hooligan, Pennsatucky.
" yo, I 'eard Chapman's out!" Nicky's voice ran in my ears as she exclaimed, rather excitedly. Good heavens I had been worried sick when Piper had been sent to the god-forsaken boxes they call a suitable living environment. I had been forced to admit that when red caught me playing uninterestedly at my dinner, and seeing as I didn't want to have to starve the next few days, I laid the truth down, I was so darn worried about Piper Chapman. "Go get her tiger," Nichols winked at me with a knowing smirk. I raised a brow with a sly smirk of my own, hinting I'd get her for calling me tiger, the thought came with a smirk and went with the mattress. And nobody but nicky knew that Piper was currently the only thought blanketing my mind. Damn, this was all my fault! If only I hadn't started dancing with her, no, if only that motherfucker Pennsatucky hadn't snitched on us, it was only a show right? Bit of fun! Not like we were fucking in public, not like we haven't done that before. But it was hardly fair, Piper and I were just playing around, oh I had missed that all the time she was ignoring me the two weeks she had been here, and now, she had spent a day and a half in the shu and it was all my bloody fault. The thoughts and battles that raged on in my mind were flowing naturally, as I jogged down the hall, eager to find where Pipes was staying, only to have Pornstashes arm barricading my path as he leant against the wall, supposedly attempting to look fetching.
"You do know the rule about running Vause, yes?" His cold eyes looked me over. Good thing I was just about his height, so I didn't have the same in fortune as everyone else, having to look up to him. No, we were equal. Equally in pain if he doesn't get out my way, and fast. God, I shouldn't even be this eager to see Chapman, after all, we're either arguing, flirting, apologising, fucking, dancing or one of us stuck in a dryer.
"Course I do, when you see a creepy guy block your way, thinking he's one hot mother fucker, run the fuck away" a sarcastic yet triumphant grin graced my lips as I saw the guard twitch.
" Now now Alex, we don't like sarcastic bitches, that can't take orders" with an inaudible 'well you don't' I continued to hold his death glare, knowing where else his eyes would be wandering otherwise. " I'd like a written apology from you" the man toyed, stroking the hair that grew mercilessly above his lip, not taking my hint from the exaggerated eye rolling.
"Where would you like it?" I raised a brow with a careless shrug as thoughts of piper where tugging at my mind relentlessly. Then, Mendez leaned close enough that I got a dreadful stench of beer and shaving cream clogging up my nostrils.
"Somewhere I can reach where your lesbians can't " he whispered hoarsely in my ear, almost making me gag with the scent that consumed him. and as he prowled away like a lynx, I plucked up the courage to spin on the spot watching his retreating back.
"Any bitch can reach further than a Tictac!" Harshly, I turned back around, ignoring the clapping of an amused Hispanic, and collided full on with a body I recognised. With a gasp, I flung my arms around the girls waist as I saw the blonde stumble back. Chapman.
"Look it here, the cats out the cage!" I grin, impressed, standing her up when I discovered the pink blush that spread through her cheeks.
" I heard you yelling... And- and something about tictacs?" I laugh softly fixing my glasses that were wonkily askew from the impact.
" oh no hun, you do not want that kind of tictac," but as I smiled again, I couldn't help but notice Pipers looks were definitely different. Even after two days, my pipes was considerably thinner, soft, pink lips were now pale and cracked, and even still I could see her shiver. "Man, they kill you in there Pipes? You look pretty dead"
"So I've been told... Its a good thing you're not that fussy, still have a dead girl, Alex?" And it was just our luck pornstache had to stroll back at the exact moment I took her hand in mine.
"Hey, break it up! No touching, got that? " I rolled my eyes again, purposefully pecking piper on the cheek.
" oh that's not what you said when you we were dancing a couple of days ago," I didn't hear what he had to say, as immediately I was tugged away. Chapman's bunk was the destination and soon, my lips had connected fully with hers, as she sat on my lap, still having to look up to me though. I ran my tongue soft over her hardened lips, delicately wrapping my hands around her waist as she cupped my cheeks with both hands. Pretty much everyone else was in the homeroom, now fighting over the TV as taystee wasn't here to control the remote. I was kissing her forcefully, damn how I had missed the taste of her lips, her splendid touch. My hands had worked their way under the old, beige prison shirt, and softly, I caressed her stomach, she'd left me too long. Her breath hitched, sliding her hands to grab fistfuls of cloth at my shoulders. Without hesitation, I yanked her shirt over her head letting my knuckles brush over her warm skin, depositing the attire on the floor. And immediately our lips had been apart long enough, her tongue dancing passionately with mine. Her hands were cool on my waists, purposefully and lightly trailing over my skin, as she pulled free my top, aggressively throwing it away.
" ooh, feisty, " I comment unnecessarily with a smirk, pulling further on my lap when I heard the door bang open. " someone's coming" immediately I hated whoever came in,determined I would have Piper to myself at one point. I fell to the side, collapsing with her on her bunk as the girl pulled old claudettes blanket over us, sparing time of both having to rearrange our bodies to grab her own. We fell into silent giggles, kissing her nose under the blanket.
" this is cosy," Piper whispered, laying close to me. I marvelled at the heat between us and sighed.
"Speak for yourself one of us has had their mattress stolen,"
"What?" Chapman stated, shocked and not too quietly either. Our fingers were entwined, but now we were both hiding under the covers, my glasses were steaming up. "Jesus Christ!"
" yep, that's the one" I sigh, pissed off, embracing the smaller woman in my arms .
" Jesus stole your mattress?" Piper giggled beside me and I poked her nose softly, lest she make me giggle too.
"Course Pipes. What would Jesus do with 12 apostles and a mattress?" I laugh quietly, closing my eyes a moment. I hear her giggle again and nestle softly into me.
" maybe Jesus wanted you to stay here tonight." My eyes snapped open, I couldn't get Piper in trouble again, not now not ever, it was my fault she was here in the first place.
" no, Pipes I can't! We'll get in trouble"
" Since when did you care about getting into trouble, Alex? Please" the girl was pouting solemnly, well we 'could be quiet, it was about eight so people would come back, and sleep. And I was missing a mattress...
" not now not ever, I'll stay" she grinned happily, nuzzling my neck sleepily. I must be out of my mind, surely. But she was so beautiful... And that was the thought that was on my mind as I passed into oblivion.
" Chapman! Vause!" Sam Healys voice shook me from my pleasant sleep, I glanced at Piper who looked like hell, messed up hair and all. Then it hit me. Literally, my shirt was thrown violently to me by the fuming Prison councillor, and I picked up Pipes' shirt that was a creased mess on the floor near me. She was bright red and shaking "Sir, nothing h- I just-"
" Quiet Chapman! I want you both in my office as soon as you're dressed!" I slipped my bra strap back on my shoulder, pulling the the attire back over my head.
" Its going to be okay Pipes," I softly kiss her nose, before hearing the unimpressed grunts of the black lady sharing with my girl. Miss Claudette pelage, she hated visitors, mess, anyone who did something wrong in her room. Disapproval was written clearly in those piercing eyes like maker pen, and I scoffed shrugging out of her blanket. "You might wanna wash that," I wink playfully holding back a laugh at the horror on her face.
"It wasn't her fault" " I'm persuasive " "that's enough you two" "I was selfish" " she's not guilty" " Can we get to the point?" "I'm fully to blame" " I can't let you do that," "Shut /up/ Piper!" My raised voice had silence both Healy and Pipes, and both were staring at me like I was a leprechaun on stilts.
" I take full responsibility for what happened" I state clearly, practically daring anyone to argue, and Piper being piper, tried to, only to be silenced by the old mans dismissive hand.
"What exactly did happen Vause?" I saw the blonde look to me, clearly wanting to speak, but I wouldn't meet her gaze, I couldn't.
" I disposed of my mattress when I heard Chapman got out, I was desperate for contact, and I had to persuade her to let me sleep with her, I... I'm sorry" my tongue could have burned with all the lies. I had no fucking clue where my mattress currently was hiding, okay maybe the contact was true, but I certainly wasn't sorry. Healy looked us over like we were sausages cooking over a campfire, waiting to see if I was done. And unimpressed continued to fry me.
" that still doesn't explain why the two of you were half naked" the fuck was I supposed to wriggle out of this one? 'Oh sorry sir, a spider crawled up our sleeves and then we fell asleep right after saving each other from its bite?' Damn I was a hopeless case.
" Like I said I pressured Piper into it..." I hung my head sorrowfully in the best ashamed look I had ever done in my whole lifetime.
"No, I was-"
"enough Chapman!" I had to admit, Sam did kind of give me the spooks, especially when he was angry just as he was now. I could see him with two horns at the top of his head, fuming, bulging eyes, steam billowing out of his nostrils, just like a bull. "Take her to the Shu" the words fell from his lips like raindrops as I felt hands at my wrists, and pipers cry of 'no' but the rest wasn't real. I was going to the place that made Piper look dreadfully ill.
" I know the fucking way!" I managed to protest, trying to shake off my guards. " See ya around... Samantha" and I caught a glimpse of Healy imitating a bull, and Piper... Her eyes, worried, frightened, scared, alone... Afraid, for me... She had her share of hell... Now it was my turn.
