Piper Chapman walked into her favorite bar on a chilly April evening and prayed to all that was holy she got this job. She needed this job; she couldn't stand to ask her parents for anymore money. So she made her way to the bar with fake confidence and patiently waited for the bartender to make his way to her.
"Hey, you, Laura Ingalls Wilder. We're escaping America before the apocalypse, wanna come?" Piper turned her head towards the voice and was met with stunning green eyes. "Sorry?" She sputtered out, and before she had time to be embarrassed the bartender was walking towards her. "What can I get for you?" Piper turned reluctantly away from the brunette and faced the bar.
"Hi! I was wondering if you were hiring?"
"No, sorry" He replied lamely
"Well can I leave this with you?" She asked, holding out her application.
He sighed, seeming annoyed, "Honestly, it's just going to end up in a drawer somewhere." He said, turning his back to Piper.
"Okay," She muttered, turning to cast a quick glance back to the brunette, not wanting to leave just yet. "Can I get a margarita then?"
The bartenders face lit up, "Now that I can do!" he said, turning to go make her drink. Piper sat back and waited.
"It's a bit cold out for a margarita, don't ya think?" Piper turned and was once again met with piercing green eyes that she had to look up to meet. The woman was tall, taller than Piper that was for sure. She had long black hair that was partially pulled up, showing off her blue streaks. She wore black librarian glasses, and she had at least three visible tattoos. She was hot. Piper was pulled out of her trance when she spoke again. " Let's see this," she said as she plucked Piper's application out of her hand. "Steve's Greek Cuisine? Le Grande Fromage?" She chuckled, "Bullshit, bullshit, you need a lesson in fudging a resume." Piper could feel her cheeks getting red. "Do you work her?" She stammered, "Are you fucking kidding me?" Piper went to say something but was once again cut off by the tall brunette. "Manager, Polly Harper." She laughed again, "No one named Polly Harper gets put in charge, who is that really?" Piper couldn't hold back the laugh that escaped her lips, "It's my friend." The tall women laughed, "You've never waited a fucking table in your life, have you?"
Piper shook her head no. "So, Piper Chapman, a Smith grad with excellent listening skills and passionate about making diners feel good. Sounds kind of dirty."
Before Piper could say anything the bartender came over with her drink. "My tab." She told him, and before Piper could interject, the woman continued talking. "Safe, clean and careful when handling food and drink." She read off as Piper's cheeks grew warmer. "Give me that!" She protested, reaching for her application. The woman laughed. "I like that in a woman, what else do I need to know about you?" Piper looked at her and could feel her curiosity rising.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Alex."
"And what do you do, Alex? Besides makes fun of strangers in bars?" Piper asked, batting her eyelashes. Alex took a sip of her drink. "I work for an international drug cartel." She deadpanned. Piper didn't know if she should take her seriously or not, so she laughed, and was relieved when Alex laughed too. "So, Ms. Chapman, do you care to join me and my friends, I might even be able to promise a few more margarita's, if you're lucky, that is."
Piper thought for a moment, she had never been with a girl before, but she also never identified as completely straight, and Alex was hot, and she was definitely into her, so why not?
"I think I'm feeling pretty lucky." Piper said, knocking back the rest of her drink and following Alex to her table.
The second time they saw each other was completely unplanned, which was to be expected seeing as after that night in the bar they didn't exchange phone numbers. Piper was just left with the promise that Alex would see her soon. It had been three weeks since that night and Piper was beginning to forget about Alex.
"Pipes, don't freak out but there's a secretary with tattoos that's totally eye fucking you in the corner of the bar." Her friend Polly whispered. Piper looked over to where Polly was looking and tried to hide her smile when she saw who it was. "I'll be right back." She said to Polly without looking back, making her way towards Alex, who was pretending not to notice her. She snuggled up to her side and put her mouth towards her ear. "Hi." Alex turned and smiled down at her. "Oh, hey. I didn't see ya there." She laughed. Piper rolled her eyes and looked Alex up and down. "You look hot tonight." She purred. "You don't look half bad yourself, are you drunk?" Alex asked, concern flashing across her face quickly. "I'm not sober that's for sure. You said you would see me again!" Piper whined. Alex placed her hand on Piper's hip, bringing her closer. "And would you look at that, I did!" Piper stomped her foot, "You didn't know I was going to be here tonight!" Alex actually laughed out loud at this. "It's the bar you tried applying to, clearly you come here often, and it's dollar margarita night. I knew you'd be here, kid"
Before Piper could say anything, Polly came stomping over. "Pipes, what the fuck? You can't just walk away and leave me there looking like a total idiot! You're supposed to play wing women tonight!" Polly paused, "Who the fuck is this?" She asked looking Alex up and down. "This is Alex, and I'm going home with her tonight." Piper stated with confidence. Alex didn't say anything, but she squeezed Pipers hip and pulled her a little bit closer. "Uh, Pipes, can I talk to you for a sec?" Polly asked. Piper rolled her eyes but nodded and took a few steps towards Polly. "What the fuck? You're lesbian now?" Piper sighed.
"Polly you know how I feel about labeling people."
"Oh cry me a river, when were you planning on telling me that you're a carpet muncher now?"
"Polly!"
"Sorry, sorry! But seriously, what the fuck?"
Piper threw another glance at Alex and felt her heart rate pick up when she winked at her. "I don't know, you know I've always been out there. I like hot people. And Alex is hot, and she's really into me, and I like it, so I figured why not give it a shot?" Polly rolled her eyes and huffed. "Fine, but you owe me Pipes! You were supposed to be my wing woman tonight!" Piper laughed as she walked away, "You'll be fine, you don't need a wing woman!"
"All good?" Alex asked her, raising a perfect eyebrow.
"Ya, great actually." Piper smirked.
"Well Ms. Chapman, I think it's time I bought you a margarita!"
One margarita turned into two, and two turned into three. And next thing she knew she was in the back of a cab with her head in Alex's lap. "Oh I'm so drunk, Alex." She moaned. "I know you are, kid. You're not going to get sick on me, are you?" She asked while brushing some stray hair off Piper's forehead. She shook her head no, but was starting to question if that was a lie. "Hang tight kid, were almost there." Alex whispered.
True to her word, five minutes later they pulled in front of her apartment. Alex threw the cab driver a wad of cash and told him to keep the change. She carefully helped Piper out of the cab and up the steps and propped her against her arm when she unlocked the door. Piper immediately walked herself in and plopped down on the couch. "This place is amazing." She breathed out while taking a look around the house. "Thanks," Alex smiled at her, "You seem to be feeling better." Piper nodded, "Car rides usually make me more sick when I'm drunk." Alex laughed and walked over and sat down next to Piper. "I think that goes for everyone, kid." Piper smiled, "I like when you call me that. It doesn't sound condensing, I like it." Alex smiled and scooted closer to her. "Well, I'm glad you like my nickname for you, kid." She teased, resting her hand on Piper's thigh. "So tell me Piper, why was your friend Holly all shook up about you being with a woman tonight, experimenting are we?" Piper laughed and moved so she was straddling Alex. It was a bold move, and alcohol definitely played its part. "I'm not straight, and I'm not gay. I like hot people. And you, Alex, are hot." Piper said into her ear, grinding herself into Alex's lap. "I think someone had one too many margarita's" Alex laughed, trying to take back the control.
Piper leaned down, eyes darting back and forth between Alex's lips and her eyes. Just as she was about to kiss her, Alex picked her up and started carrying her back towards what Piper assumed was the bedroom. "Are you sure Piper, I don't want to take advantage of you." Alex said as she laid her down on the bed. Piper stared deep into her eyes, searching for any sign of dishonesty. And when she didn't see any, she grabbed Alex by the back of her neck and pulled her down to her.
It was like fireworks when their lips met. Alex had soft lips that glided so easily over Piper's, it was making her whole body hum with anticipation. She gasped when Alex bit down on her lip and slipped her tongue inside her mouth. They fought for dominance until Alex lost her patience and pulled back. "Quit fighting me Piper, tonight's about you." Piper just nodded, and felt her nerves grow as Alex started tugging at her jeans. "Relax," Alex murmured as she slipped Piper's shirt over her head. "I'm going to make you feel good." Piper just nodded her head watched as Alex stripped down to her bra and underwear, moaning at the sight of her. Alex started kissing and nipping at her neck, slowly working her way down. She got to Piper's bra and quickly pushed it up. Piper didn't even have time to feel embarrassed because next thing she knew Alex had her nipple in her mouth, swirling her tongue around it until it got hard. Piper arched into her, wanting more. Alex kept sucking, reaching her hand up to knead her other breast. Piper could feel the heat between her legs growing, she lifted her pelvis up, trying to make contact with Alex's thigh, only to be pushed back down by Alex. "Eager, are we?" She asked, lifting her head from Piper's chest. Piper only nodded, not able to form words. Alex chuckled and started working her way down, swirling her tongue in Piper's belly button and licking her way back up. Repeating the action when Piper moaned. After enough teasing Alex finally made her way down to where Piper wanted her. She gently spread her legs open and placed a soft kiss to Piper's inner thighs, trying to hold back a laugh when Piper let out a loud moan. "You sure, Pipes?" She asked one more time. "Positive." Piper breathed out. That was all Alex needed to hear. She bent down and took one long stroke with her tongue, moaning at her sweet taste. She teased Piper's entrance, circling it with her tongue and just barely entering her, only to take it out again. She made her way back up to Piper's clit, circling around it, and then sucking it into her mouth. Piper grabbed her by the hair, "Fuck, Alex." She moaned. She continued sucking her clit and slowly entered her with one finger, slowly pumping in and out until Piper was crying for more. Without warning Alex removed her fingers and stuck her tongue deep into Piper, and rubber her clit with her hand. "I'm coming, Alex, fuck." Piper cried out. Alex welcomed the warm gush of wetness and continued working her tongue until she no longer felt Piper contracting around her. She wiped her mouth and crawled back up the bed, laying her head near Piper's. "So? How was your first time with a woman?" She asked cockily. Piper was still breathing heavily and rolled her eyes. "Awful." She deadpanned. Alex laughed and pulled Piper close to her, kissing her neck. "I'm glad it was as good for you as it was for me." Alex laughed, Piper just smiled and sat up, moving over to straddle Alex when she went flying off the bed.
Next thing she knew she was being hit in the face, Alex was yelling. Something about Silver? And the offender was thrown off of her. "Piper, are you okay?" Piper just shook her head, there was something warm on her face and it was coming from her nose. "Great Sylvie, I think you broke her nose!"
"Oh, fuck you Alex! Get her out!"
Piper reached up for Alex, only to be thrown backwards a second later by a forceful shove.
"Sylvie just go! I'll get her out."
The girl stormed off and Piper gingerly sat up, cupping her nose.
"Here" Alex said softly, handing her a towel. Piper snatched it and held it gingerly to her face. "It would have been nice to know you had a girlfriend before I threw myself at you!" Piper seethed, still slightly drunk. "Pipes, I can explain." Alex started. "No, hand me my phone please, I need to call Polly." Alex hesitated at first, but reluctantly walked over to her dress and picked up Piper's phone. "It's complicated Piper, I promise you I wasn't just using you." Piper stood up and wrapped the sheets around her body, snatching the phone from Alex's hand.
"Fuck you."
The third time they saw each other it was intentional, at least on Piper's end. She had been thinking about Alex non stop ever since that night. The way she felt, the way she made Piper feel. Everything. Piper knew she had to see her again.
And that's how she found herself sitting at a crowded bar, alone, shooting glances at Alex and her girlfriend every few minutes. She was laughing, and she seemed happy. But the more she looked, the more she convinced herself that was leaning away from Sylvie's touch, or rolling her eyes when Sylvie started hanging on her. Maybe Alex was being truthful when she said things were complicated.
She watched as Alex excused herself to get up and go to the bathroom. Knowing this was her only shot, she carefully got up and followed Alex a few steps behind, trying to figure out what she wanted to say. But as she stood behind Alex, everything went out the window.
"Hi" She breathed out, hoping she sounded casual. Alex spun around and her face lit up with surprise. "Hey!, what are you doing here?" Fuck. Piper didn't have a legitimate excuse for being there. She quickly scanned the posters hung up in the bathroom. "I heard about the burlesque show." She offered lamely, "What about you?" Alex laughed. "My friend Rachel's in it." Piper nodded, not knowing where to go from there. "Look, I'm sorry about that night. I meant it when I said things were complicated. I'm new to this whole relationship thing. I don't know the rules." Piper took a step closer to Alex. "Well that's the problem, rules aren't any fun."
The bathroom door swung open, making them both aware of how close they were to each other. Piper looked at Alex and made her move. "Look, I'm not one to stop true love. If that's your future wide out there, then by all means, stop me. But you pursued me, and I liked it. I've never. I've never felt. I've never thought of myself as a sexual person, but ever since you, and that night," Piper leaned in close to Alex's ear, spilling out hot breath when she talked. "I want to taste what you taste like" Piper leaned back, gaging Alex's reaction, and she felt her heart rate pick up when Alex slowly leaned forward, placing her hands on her cheeks, and kissed her slowly.
The kiss got heated quickly, and Alex pulled her into the empty stall shutting and locking the door behind her. Alex looked at her with such desire that Piper could feel her arousal beginning to pool in her underwear. Next thing she knew she was pinned to the wall. Alex's lips were attached to her neck, and her knee was in between her thighs. She was everywhere, and it felt so good. But she had other plans.
"No" Piper breathed out, pushing Alex to the other side of the stall. "It's your turn." Alex smirked as Piper reached down to unbutton her jeans, not breaking eye contact as she pulled them down. Piper stood back up and looked for any hesitation in Alex's eyes. But she saw none. She leant forward and placed her lips roughly against Alex's lips, working her way down to her neck, being careful not to leave any bite marks. Then she worked her way down to Alex's breasts, lifting her shirt up and pulling her black lace bra with it. She slowly took one of Alex's nipples in her mouth and swirled her tongue around, just like Alex did with her. She was satisfied when she heard a moan. So she moved over to the other breast, repeating the same motion. "Fuck, Pipes. As good as that feels we're kinda pressed on time." Nerves fluttered in Piper's stomach, she didn't know what she was doing, she didn't think she would get this far. And as if Alex read her mind , she gently tugged on her hair signaling her to look up. "Relax, just think about what you like." Piper nodded and looked back down. A black lacy thong covered Alex's sex, and Piper hesitantly leaned forward and placed her tongue flat against it. Alex moaned in response, giving Piper more confidence. So she pulled down Alex's thong and took a long stroke of her hot sex and nearly moaned at the taste. It was sweet but musky, and something else she couldn't quite figure out. She continued taking long strokes, paying attention to Alex's breathing, and once it started becoming more shallow, she worked her way up to Alex's clit. First flicking it with her tongue, before taking the whole thing in her mouth. "Fuck Piper. Don't stop baby." Alex moaned out. Piper continued swirling her tongue around Alex's swollen clit, and she brought two fingers up and easily entered Alex, gliding in and out until she felt her walls tighten around her fingers. "Oh, fuck." Alex breathed out.
Piper stood up and licked her two fingers. Never breaking eye contact with Alex. "Come back with me. There's a back door, no one will see you leave. I know you want this as much as I do, Alex." Piper pleaded. And before Alex could answer they heard the bathroom door open. "Alex? Are you in here?" Sylvie called out
Piper held her breath, waiting to see what Alex would do. "Alex?"
But Alex didn't budge, she just stared at Piper with a far off look in her eyes, and when the bathroom door shut she grabbed Piper's hand.
"Do you know the way to the back door?"
