Part 2 of 4.

So I tried to make this as fluffy as possible but there were some things I felt were left unfinished between Alex and Piper.

Enjoy!

The room hung heavily of their love-making.

"I can't believe we just did it in my old bed," whispered Alex as she turned on to her side and looked over at Piper.

Piper couldn't help but smile at this. "I think you said that last time I was here," she teased.

"Whatever," smirked Alex as she rolled her eyes. She was trying to be mad but was failing to do so. "It's still weird."

"Are you telling me that thee Alex Vause didn't get any action during high school?" Piper's blue eyes gleamed with amusement at this fact.

"Oh shut the fuck up!" cried Alex as she playfully pushed Piper away from her.

Piper just grinned as she popped herself onto her elbow and peered down at Alex. Her eyes were bright in the darkness. She couldn't believe that she was here with Alex. She was originally suppose to be in some newlywed suite with Larry. She much preferred where she was currently, curled up in Alex's twin bed then in some fancy hotel room.

"Do you remember spring break?" she asked, suddenly out of the blue.

"Yeah," chuckled Alex slightly.

"I think that was one of the best vacations I've ever had," whispered Piper as she thought back to the trip. Her, Alex and Nicky had gone down to Florida like all college students did for spring break. It had been around when Piper and Alex relationship was still newish. They had only been dating for six months at that point. They had stayed in some cheap motel on the beach. It had been anything but fancy. However, Piper had loved every minute of it.

"Seriously?" asked Alex, cocking an eyebrow in surprise. "Didn't you go to Europe for an entire summer?"

"Yeah," answered Piper with a sight shrug of her left shoulder. "But I had a lot more fun sharing a crappy motel room with you and Nicky then I did in Europe." Her trip to Europe had it moments. But it didn't compare to the week she had spent on spring break with Alex. Most of the time had been spent between the beach and partying. But it held some of her favourite memories.

"I just remember you in that tiny white bikini," murmured Alex in a low voice. She licked her lips slowly as her eyes pierced into Piper's. "Your body drenched in water after you came out of the ocean...your nipples like hard marbles poking out of those thin triangles pieces..." Her voice was horsed as she remembered back to that week spent on the beach. They had been inseparable back then. Alex had been working like usual but had made sure her girlfriend didn't feel alone.

Alex continued to look on at Piper as her hands roamed their way up her chest.

She began to touch herself.

She massaged at her breasts like dough. Squeezing the white flesh in between her fingers before letting go, only to repeat the movement a second later. Her eyes never left Piper's face as she began to play with her nipples. They lengthened immediately underneath the pads of her fingers. She twisted the sensitive skin between her thumb and forefinger. Pulling and flicking the hardened peaks roughly.

Just how she liked it.

Piper didn't know where to look as Alex touched herself. Her eyes flickered to her eyes, which were on her like a hawk, down to that talented mouth of hers where it was parted slightly open. Her blue eyes lingered there for a moment before traveling down to where Alex's hands were. Piper desired to reach out and touch but didn't want Alex to stop. She was torn between joining in or just sitting back and enjoying the show. Either way was a turn on for her.

"Mmmhmmm," moaned out Alex as she continued to cup her breasts.

Piper could feel the heat begin to burn between her legs as she continued to watch. She bit down on her lower lip as one of Alex's hand slid off of her breasts and edged it way down to her cunt.

"Mmmmm," moaned Alex again as her fingers rubbed against her moist pussy. Her eyes were still on Piper. She knew this was driving her crazy. She wonder how much longer it would take, before the blonde broke and took over.

She hoped it would be soon.

"It makes my pussy so wet...thinking about you running on that beach...barely wearing anything..." Alex once again licked her lips as she thought back to that week. A wave of pleasure washed through her as her fingers found her clit and softly rubbed against it. Her folds were hot and wet against her fingers. She didn't no how much longer she could wait for Piper before finishing the job herself.

Alex could feel her eyelids begin to droop as warmth spread through her lower body. Her finger automatically picking up speed as she gave in to reckless abandonment. But as soon as she closed her eyes, they were fluttering back open as she felt a third hand on her body.

Piper was on top of her. She had one hand on her thigh, parting it open as her mouth began to take over while her pussy dangled over the top of her head.

Piper wanted to do a little 69.

Alex immediatly removed her hands from herself and placed them on Piper's ass. She dug her long fingers into her cheeks, parting them open slightly as she lifted her head and pressed a soft kiss to Piper's cunt. As Piper licked at Alex's juices, she immediatly spread open her legs and lowered herself over Alex's mouth, giving her better excess. Alex nuzzled her chin and nose against her, taking in the full aroma of it.

Piper whimpered against Alex at feeling her mouth on her. Her heart pounded with excitement. Her tongue swirled it's way around Alex's throbbing clit. She sucked on it hard.

Alex squirmed underneath Piper's mouth but she didn't let it throw her off course. Her hands squeezed Piper's ass as she kissed her centre softly, teasing her. Her tongue licked upwards along Piper's cunt. She heard Piper moan as she deepened her touch, flicking her clit back and forth before taking it roughly in between her lips.

Piper began to flex her hips against Alex's mouth. Pleasure filled the pit of her stomach. Her pussy throbbed with each touch of Alex's tongue. She could feel her orgasm start to build. But she didn't want to be the one to cave first. She wanted to hear Alex scream. She rubbed her face into Alex. She kissed the swollen skin roughly before once again sucking her clit hard. Her mouth stayed like this for a moment, working on her clit before sliding down lower and plunging deep into Alex's opening.

Alex purred into Piper. Her toes curled as a wave of warmth washed through her. "Babyy..."she murmured as her eyes rolled back into her head. She pressed an open mouth kiss to the side of Piper's inner thigh. The edge of her teeth gazed the skin as her back arched involuntarily against Piper's face.

She could feel her orgasm coming on as Piper continued to eat at her. Sweat drenched Alex's body as her hands dug into Piper's cheeks, pressing into the skin. She sucked on Piper's clit before not being able to take it any longer. She moaned and whimper into Piper as pleasure erupted through her. Everything in her body seemed to burst as she climaxed, loudly.

Piper kissed at the hypersensitive area before moving along to her inner thigh. She licked at her lips, tasting the sweet juices of Alex. She could feel her breathing heavily against her thigh. She thought about moving but before she could Alex was pulling her down against her mouth. Alex's hand pressed against her small of her back as her other slid into her opening. She slid two fingers roughly into Piper's wet opening as her tongue and mouth continued to work on her clit.

Piper's breath caught in the back of her throat at Alex's sudden touch on her. She closed her eyes and moaned slightly. Pleasure washed through her with each touch of Alex. Her hips rocked into her face, making her touch go deeper within her.

"Alleexxx," she moaned loudly as her body began to vibrate and she surrendered to her orgasm.

Piper awoke to the sound of a car alarm going off outside. Her eyes fluttered open and she was confused for a second on where she was.

The sun was just rising and peaking in through the bedroom window. Piper, who was on her side, rolled slowly onto her back. She was being careful not to waken a sleeping Alex beside her. She then slowly moved into a sitting position. She watched as Alex slept. Watching the slow rise and fall of her chest as she breathed through her nose. Leaning down, Piper pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before slowly getting out of bed and to her feet.

Her eyes searched around the room from the discarded clothes on the floor from last night's activities to the open suitcase, up to the posters hanging on the walls. The room in away was like a shrine to Alex's teenage self. There was an overflowing book case in the corner of the room, next to a painted white desk. A cork board hung above it on the wall. There were all different things pinned to it still, from photobooth pictures, to a clipping of a horoscope to what looked like a class schedule of sorts. Something about the room made Piper smile. She continued to study the room for a moment longer before getting dressed in yesterday's clothes.

She quietly left the room and headed down the stairs, towards the kitchen. She didn't know how early it was but she was hoping she would be able to get a hold of Polly. She didn't know how long she would be staying here and she didn't really have a place to go home too really. She knew she would probably have to stay with Polly for a while, until she found a place of her own. Larry could keep the apartment, she thought.

Piper chewed on her lip as she continued to think out a plan. She moved into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. As she did so she heard movement on the stairs. She froze slightly as she looked over her shoulder and locked eyes with Suzy.

Neither spoke a word for a moment. Both women were shocked to see the other. It was just passed seven thirty in the morning.

"You're up early," commented Suzy, breaking the silence as she came further into the room.

"I...I..I'm..." stuttered Piper in reply as she turned off the faucet and leaned against the counter. She didn't really know why she was up so early. She just was.

Suzy just smirked at Piper discomfort as she moved around the kitchen. Piper watched as she began to make coffee. "Take a seat," she spoke towards Piper, who was still hovering against the counter. Piper didn't know whether to stay or not.

Piper didn't say anything as she did what she was told.

Another blanket of silence fell between them as the coffee began to brew and Suzy opened one of the kitchen cupboards and pulled down two mugs.

"You drink coffee?"

"Yes," murmured Piper like a nervous child.

A few moments later, Suzy placed a steaming mug of coffee down in front of Piper before taking the seat opposite of her at the small round kitchen table.

"Thanks," whispered Piper as she took the mug into her hands. The coffee was black. Piper usually took hers with milk and sugar but didn't want to be a bother, so she drank it the way it was.

Suzy just nodded her head before taking a sip from her own mug.

Neither spoke a word as they continued to drink in silence. Piper didn't know what to say to Suzy. It had been a while since they had been in a room alone together. Her blue eyes studied the older woman. Her dark hair was short and painted with silver. Despite the cancer, Suzy had aged well, thought Piper to herself.

"So, you left your fiancé at the alter?" asked Suzy suddenly to her.

A shocked expression appeared on Piper's face at this. She hadn't been expecting it. She nodded her head slowly as she lowered her mug onto the table, "I did," she whispered in honesty.

"Did your mother flip?"

"She did."

"Good." stated Suzy, a slight smug look appearing on her face.

Piper's brows fussed together in confusion at this.

"I'm sorry but your mother is a bitch. I have never met the woman but she wasn't very nice to my daughter when you two were dating. Call me a mother bear or what not but I don't like people insulting my kid," Suzy was dead serious as she peered over the rim of her mug at Piper before taking a long sip from it.

Piper didn't know how to reply to this. She didn't know if she should be offended or agree with Suzy. Yes, her mother wasn't the easiest person to be around and pretty much thought she was better than anyone. But she was still her mother.

"You know I wanted to hate you too. But hating people takes so much energy out of you. And at the time, I didn't have that kind of energy to spare. But even after the cancer was gone that first time, I still couldn't muster the energy to hate you guts." continued on Suzy to Piper.

"Thank you?"

"Don't get me wrong, if I ran into you, I would have probably kicked your ass or something like that. But I couldn't fully hate you. Yes, you broke my daughter's heart and she had a terrible time dealing with the pain. However, I had seen the love you had for my daughter too. You were good to her. Despite how it ended. You were scared about something and you ran," commented Suzy as she drained the remainder of her coffee and placed the mug down onto the table, "Am I right?" Her green eyes pierced through Piper. She could read through the blonde like a book.

Piper ran a hand through her hair. She was suddenly very nervous as Suzy looked at her.

"I loved your daughter. I have always loved her. I don't know why I left when I did. I guess you could say I was scared. She was the first person I had truly ever loved like that," her voice was low as she once again thought about her actions years ago. "I'm sorry that I put her through hell. Especially when you were going through hell as well. I regretted it everyday how I ended things."

Suzy was quiet for a moment as she continued to look on at Piper. "Don't beat yourself too much over it. It's in the past now, kid," a small smile appeared on her face at this. "I know that Alex loves you and that you love her from how you ran away from your wedding and came here."

Piper couldn't help but blush slightly at this.

"We can't help who we love," whispered Suzy before she suddenly stood up and placed her empty mug into the sink. "Trust me, I spent enough time lusting over men who were complete assholes to know that."

Alex awoke suddenly to the sound of laughter coming up the stairs and into her room. She frowned as she rubbed her eyes and slowly lifted her head.

She was alone.

A sigh escaped from her lips as she lay back down against the pillows. There was still laughter coming from downstairs. She didn't like the sounds of this. She continued to lay there for a moment longer before gathering the strength to get out of bed. She reached for her glasses and slid them onto the bridge of her nose before walking towards the suitcase. She ignored the mess on the floor as she knelt down at the small suitcase and began to rummage through it before pulling out an old faded Rolling Stones t-shirt and a pair of flannel pyjama pants.

She dressed quickly, not bothering to put on any underwear before making her way downstairs.

The laughter got louder as she approached the kitchen.

"Hey," greeted her mother warmly as she appeared in the doorway.

"Hi," murmured back Alex as she looked from Suzy to Piper and back. The two of them were seated at the kitchen table with an album spread out in front of them. It was déjà vu thought Alex to herself. "Ma, really?" she asked, pointing to the album.

"What?" asked back Suzy, innocently. "Piper asked to see them."

Alex just glared at her mother before looking over at Piper, who was trying to keep the smile from spreading across her face. The blonde was clearly amused.

"Seriously?" asked Alex, cocking an eyebrow at Piper.

"What? You were a cute baby!" answered Piper.

Alex then just rolled her eyes before ignoring the both of them. It was too early for this, she thought to herself as she went to go pour herself a cup of coffee.

Suzy and Piper just looked at her for a second longer before going back to pouring over the album. "And this is when Allie first got glasses," explained Suzy towards Piper as she pointed to a school picture of Alex when she was six. Her dark hair was cut close to her chin and she was wearing a pair of black framed glasses, that were slightly too large for her face. She smiled gaped-tooth up at the camera.

"She always had a thing for black, even back then," explained Suzy as she looked over at Alex, who was adjusting her glasses.

"Black goes with everything," murmured Alex as she took the seat beside Piper and drank from the coffee she had just poured herself. She caught Piper's eye and smiled. She couldn't stay mad at her for too long.

Piper smiled back at Alex before turning her attention onto the album. This continued on for a little while longer. Alex just sat there, drinking her coffee listening as her mother and Piper laughed and chatted away over the photo album. Alex was glad that the album stopped at age 10. She didn't want Piper to see her awkward teen years and she most defiantly didn't want to relive them through pictures.

"So how are your meetings going?" asked Suzy suddenly over to Alex as she closed the album.

"They are going okay..." replied Alex as she ran a finger along the rim of the now empty coffee mug and peered over her glasses at her mother. She didn't want to talk about her meetings. Especially with Piper in the room. She didn't know about that part of her yet and she wanted it to stay like that for a little longer.

Piper was confused by this but didn't ask. It was clearly none of her business, she thought as she looked between Alex and Suzy and back.

"And you're going to them right?" asked Suzy again. Her voice was firm as she glared back at Alex, letting her know that the topic wasn't dropped yet.

"Yes," Sighed Alex, "Every fucking Monday at 3pm sharp." She then rose to her feet and walked away from the table like an anger teenager.

"Look, I know you don't like to talk about it. But fuck Allie, it's important that you go to them. Especially now that you are out of Litchfield and hanging around with Nicky again."

"Ma! Nicky isn't the one who got me into it! " cried out Alex angrily to her mother. They had had this conversation multiples times over the years. Suzy still thought that Nicky was the one who had gotten her into the drug business and ultimately addicted to heroin.

"Nicky had been clean for years now and so have I! Now can we please stop talking about it?" Her green eyes pleaded with her mother to drop the topic. Too much had been said already in front of Piper.

Suzy just looked on at her daughter for a moment. She was use to her daughter's temper. She had been dealing with it since she was two. "Okay. Okay. Okay. I will shut up for now. But don't think we aren't done discussing this," answered Suzy as she rose to her feet and made her way over to where her daughter stood.

Alex didn't say anything. She felt all her anger leave her as her mother pulled her into a hug.

"Tell her," whispered Suzy into her daughter's ear before pulling away. She cupped the sides of Alex's face and pierced her eyes into her. "Tell her," she whispered again so that long Alex could hear her. Suzy could tell her daughter hadn't told Piper yet about her past with drugs.

Alex's face softened as she looked back at her mother. She knew she was right. That Piper had been honest with her. It was her turn, now. She just didn't know how Piper would react. Piper already felt guilty about leaving her when she had. She didn't want her to feel any worse after hearing about the fall-out of her actions. She frown slightly before looking away from Suzy and down at the floor.

"Well, I will leave you two girls for a bit," stated Suzy as she smile kindly towards Alex and Piper before leaving the room.

Piper looked over at Alex. She didn't know what had just happened. Her blue eyes pierced into Alex, who was still standing in the middle of the small galley kitchen.

Alex gave her a tight smile. It was the first time they had been alone since last night. Alex slowly enclosed the space between them. She dipped her head and kissed Piper softly.

"Good morning," she whispered running a hand down Piper's neck.

"Good morning," whispered back Piper. Her blue eyes looked up at Alex with curiosity. Her eyes searched Alex's face for an answer of sorts. However, Alex kept her face blank of anything.

Alex smiled slightly before kissing Piper again. She knew that Piper wanted to talk about what had just happened with her mom but she wasn't ready yet. She didn't want to break the bliss of the pass day.

"Do you want breakfast?" asked Alex as she pulled away and straightened her back.

"Sure," replied Piper.

It was much later on in the day as Alex and Piper walked hand in hand down the street towards the park. After spending the entire day with Suzy, the couple had decided to go for a walk. Neither spoke a word as Alex lead Piper towards the neighbourhood park. It was slightly chilly out that night. The sun had long ago set.

"Are you cold?" asked Alex towards Piper as she stopped suddenly and looked over at her. "Do you want to go back?"

Piper shook her head and smiled at Alex. "No, I'm fine," she whispered. She gave Alex's hand a squeeze before pulling her towards a near by bench.

The two women sat on top of the bench, just holding hands. Piper could sense that Alex had brought her here to talk about something. Her blue eyes looked over at Alex who was staring off into the distance. She could tell something was on her mind.

Alex let out a deep breath before slowly looking over at Piper. "There's something I need to tell you."

"Kay," whispered Piper in reply.

"I'm addict," whispered Alex. Her eyes were bright in the dusk lighting. "Well, I was an addict. I've been clean for five years now."

Piper's eyes scanned Alex's face at this. Her mouth was slightly parted open in astonishment. Alex had never used that she knew of. She knew that Nicky had been a junkie but not Alex. She was just the business woman or so she had told her.

"When?"

"Um...eight years ago...after," Alex shrugged her shoulders as she looked down at her feet. Her heart was pounding with nerves. She hated talking about her past. She hated talking about those dark years between when Piper had left her and when she was arrested.

Alex didn't need to say anything more. Piper knew exactly what time Alex was referring too.

"Look I was in a bad place after you left," explained Alex as she turned to look straight at Piper, "My mom was getting worse and the woman that I love had just walked out on me. I'm not proud of what I did. But it was away to numb the pain that ached through my body with each breath."

"I tried to stop and get clean...especially after things with my mom improved..." her voice cracked slightly as she thought back to those three long years of her life. "But I was surrounded by it. I fucking imported it around the world. It was my fucking job. Heroin was my fucking life!"

Piper clenched Alex's hand and pulled her close to her on the bench. She hated to hear that because of her, Alex had turned to drugs. But it wasn't about her at the moment.

This was about Alex.

"It wasn't until I was arrested that I got clean," continued on Alex. "Going to prison in away saved my life...You know Nicky almost died because it fucked her up so bad. She got a nasty infection in her heart and it almost...killed her."

This was news to Piper as well.

"My moms thinks it's because of her that I got into it. But it wasn't. I got into the business before I met Nicky. Nicky was disappointed when she found out I was using. And after her scare, I tried to get clean too but I just couldn't. My mom didn't know about my problem until I called her after my arrest." Alex let out a sob at this. She hated how she had disappointed her mom. Her mom had worked hard her whole life, working four jobs to support her and put a roof over her head. And she had thrown it all away by becoming a junkie.

But her mom had been there for her. She was there every week at Litchfield on visiting day. Even when the cancer came back and she was going through chemo. She always made the long journey up to see her.

Piper didn't say anything as she took Alex into her arms and held her like a child. "Sssshhh," she murmured into Alex's ear as she broke down completely in her arms.

A few minutes passed before Alex lifted her head off of Piper's shoulder and brushed the tears away from her eyes. She slid slightly away from Piper on the bench as she composed herself. She hadn't meant to break down like she had.

"Sorry," she murmured as she looked over at Piper.

"It's okay," whispered back Piper as reached out and took Alex's hand again.

The two of them shared a long look before Piper was leaning in and kissing Alex softly on the lips. She pulled away before beginning to kiss each of Alex's cheeks. She wanted to kiss away the tears that lingered still there.

"I love you," she murmured in between kisses.

"I love you," repeated Piper as she pulled back and locked eyes with Alex and she meant it. She didn't care about Alex's pass with drugs. She didn't care if she went to prison for possession and being a part of a drug ring. She didn't care anymore about that. She just wanted to be with her.

"I love you," whispered back Alex as she brought a hand up to the side of Piper's face and pulled her mouth roughly against hers.

Thanks for reading and please leave your thoughts in a review!
