Here's the Second Chapter! I'm trying not to be cliché or have over used themes in this story, but some things are "inevitable" considering these two. (Tee hee. That will be the only time I use that word in this story, I promise.) Now, onto the Story!
Chapter 2: Harmless.
Alex and Nicky arrived at Jake's Sport bar. The air was filled with Smoke, laughter, cheering for the football game on the TV, and the smell of a grill. They made their way over to their table they had deemed theirs ever since they had started grabbing drinks here after a long shift. They saw some familiar faces in the booth already waiting.
"It's about time you two show up! I deemed you old and had went straight home, to bed!" Poussey called out, spotting the tall brunette and short red headed women.
"Us?! Old?! Please PUSSY. You couldn't keep up with us even if your little dyke ass wanted too." Nicky slandered back.
"It's POUSSEY! You know this cunt face!"
"Will you two stop screaming out your euphemisms about being lame ass lesbians, and let me order my damn beer." Alex huffed, attempting to tell the waitress her order.
"That's it. It's final. You will be leaving with a piece of ass if it kills you tonight."
Alex rolled her eyes at her friend and took in who was present. First, there was Poussey, an Associate who worked in the Book section with her other present friend, Tastey. Also here was Big Boo, who was supposedly a door greeter, but spent most of her time harassing any female that came within a 10ft radius. Also present was Tricia and her girlfriend, Mercy. Both worked backroom of the store. And finally, Lorna, the object of Nicky's affections. Although it was on the "down low" everyone new about them. But that was the rumor mill that was "Litchfield's Market."
"So, as I was saying, that dick Assistant Manager, Mendez, came up to me and asked me if I wanted to "get down and dirty" to take that promotion. I reported him to Caputo for sexual harassment, but we all know how that goes. He might be transferred, but he won't lose his damn job. Fuck that guy." Mercy continued on with her story that had been interrupted with Alex's and Nicky's arrival.
"Don't get me started on that HR Manager, Healy. He's made it his lifelong goal to catch any kind of "Lesbian activity" on the premises. He wrote us up for holding hands Tuesday!" Tricia added.
Alex could really care less about anything being mentioned. She was really just there for the pay check. Taking a sip of the beer the waitress had finally brought to her, her head snapped up to the sound of the door opening, and nearly lost her breathe at the sight of the blonde that had walked in, with a shorter Brunette. She instantly started choking on the beer, having gasped at the same time as her drink.
"You okay Stilts? Tricia's testament to get Healy back really have you choked up? Get it? 'Choked' up!?" Nick smirked, smacking Alex on the back, attempting in vain to get her to cough it up.
"Stop hitting me and move! I need the restroom you ass." Nicky got out of the booth, letting Alex leave. Alex headed straight for the bathroom to get herself together. Never had the sight of a woman done that to her.
Polly and Piper got out of the cab after paying the tab, and headed inside.
"I have to go to the bathroom, Pol. Order for me." Piper called out over the noise of the bar. Polly nodded as Piper walked away.
Piper headed into the restroom, looking down on her phone not realizing her surroundings. She instantly collided with what she thought was a wall, and fell face forward, landing on top of the
"Wall".
"Watch out! Shit!" A low, raspy voice cried out. About to apologize, Piper looked up and saw the most beautiful women she had ever laid eyes on. She had long black hair, and her face was currently covered by her hands. Not to mention her body was hot. Piper then realized her current position, which was still on TOP of said creature.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, because I was looking at my phone, and then the next thing I realize I'm colliding with a wall. Only you're not a wall. Obviously. I can't believe I did this again. I'm such a klutz. I'll buy you a-" She rambled, still not moving.
"Kid, it's okay. Just watch out next time. And although I usually love a women on top of me, this isn't usually how it goes…" Alex interrupted, finally removing her hands to get a look at the women who was still on her. 'Oh dammit! It's her! The entire reason I left the group and started choking! Shit. Shit. Shit." Alex mentally cursed herself.
Piper slowly got up, and held out her hand to help Alex up. Alex hesitantly took it as Piper helped her up. They both looked at each other, neither wanting to look away. Piper finally realized she was staring, and coughed to excuse herself from the stare down.
"So, you were saying, you were going to buy me a drink?" Alex smirked, her usual confidence coming out.
"Err.. Yeah! It's the least I can do for tackling you in the bathroom. Just let me finish my quest for coming in here…" Piper replied, not quite sure what to make of the Brunettes actions. Was she flirting with her? Or was she just trying to get a free drink? Either way, her voice made Piper's spine shiver.
Alex waited outside the bathroom patiently. There was no way she was going to go back to the group of Litchfield's worst and pass up an opportunity to have a drink with hot blonde. Maybe Nicky was right. Maybe she did need to get laid.
After what seemed like forever, Piper came out and smiled at Alex sheepishly. This made Alex grin even more. She definitely made the blonde nervous for some reason or another. And she hoped it was a good kind of nervous.
"Well, I'm here with a friend for a drink. So, if you want to follow, I'll buy whatever you want…" Piper slowly instructed. Alex stepped aside and held out her hand to let her pass first.
"After you my dear." She smiled and followed the petite woman.
"OH my god! I thought I was going to have to call a rescue party! Did you get lost going to the restroom again?" The shorter woman she saw the Blonde come in with start in on Piper.
"No! Well, I was looking at my phone, and I ran into this poor women, whose name I don't even know. What is your name by the way? Anyway, I caused both of us to fall over, with me on top of her, so I kind of owe her a drink." Piper said, as a matter of factly. Polly nodded her head up and down trying to comprehend what her best friend had just said.
"Name's Alex, by the way.. And you are?"
"I'm umm..Piper. Piper Elizabeth Chapman. And this is my best friend, Polly. Polly Francine Harper."
"So let me get this straight. You were being you, not paying attention to anything around you, and you ran into, literally, this tall. Very Tall. Lady right here? Alex was it?" Polly looked at the hot number that had followed her friend.
"Nice to meet you Holly."
Polly glared at Alex. Alex was too busy looking Piper up and down to notice. Something that didn't get passed Polly, but completely went over Piper. Of course, Piper was doing her own oogling at Alex.
"Well, how about that drink you promised me?" Alex finally broke the awkward silence that had fallen on them. The chances of her going home with Piper were slim to none with the way her friend was looking at Alex. Might as well get a free drink out of it all if anything. Litchfield didn't pay that great after all.
"Of course! What would you like? Just tell the bartender, and they can get it for you. I'll pay of course."
"Kid, you like to ramble don't you? Nervous?" The smirk returned to Alex's face. Piper finally got some courage herself.
"Not at all. Just hate not acting on my word. Do you normally grip the back of barstools that tight?" Piper pointed out, as Alex's knuckles were white form the tense grip she had on stool. Alex didn't even realize she had been gripping that hard. Damn this woman for fogging up her head.
Polly looked at the exchanged looks and very present electricity between the two women in front of her.
"Piper, a word." She said, dragging the blonde away a few feet. Alex just watch in amusement at the antics of Holly, Polly, or whatever her name was.
Polly took Piper a few feet away, and glared at her.
"Do I have to remind you that you are getting MARRIED in 2 months, to a MAN. And you can't be here, so nonchalantly flirting with tall, dark and mysterious WOMEN. Since when are you a lesbo anyway?!"
"Polly, keep it down! She might hear you! Yes, I know I'm getting married, but its harmless flirting right? Its not like I'm going to take her home or fall in love! And you know I've been into women in the past. This is nothing new! Remember Crysta in College?"
"That was College. Like you said, and I thought it was a phase. Not to mention she was tolerable, unlike that beast over there. She doesn't even remember my name!"
"Whatever. I'm not doing anything bad. Larry's probably flirting with the waitresses like he always does when he's drunk at the bar. And Pete along with him. So let's have fun, since you were so determined to come out for 'One drink.' Lighten up, Pol."
Polly sighed in defeat and they headed back to the bar. Alex was no longer alone, but currently talking to a wild haired, red-headed woman who was very animated at the story she was telling. Alex seemed almost bored and amused at the same time.
"Back already?" She interrupted Nicky's story, looking into Piper's blue irises. She almost seemed to get lost right then. Nicky turned around to see who Alex was addressing.
"I'm Nicky. Lurch's best friend and Wing man. Which one of you was the one that had the will power to actually knock her off her feet literally and figuratively?" Alex smacked Nicky in the back of the head.
"Lorna will be hearing about that Pork chop story after all it seems." Nicky paled.
"It was me, actually. And knock her off her feet huh? I'll have to keep that in mind." It was Piper's turn to smirk. Apparently she wasn't the only one who was almost enthralled with the other. This earned Nicky another Glare from her best friend. "Now how about that drink? I don't know this Lorna person, but I would love to hear this Pork chop story."
I think that was a bit longer than the first chapter. This is probably going to be a rather longer story, as like to give the entire picture of every scene, within reason. Let me know how my writing is, as I'm not too sure at this point. This is still my first story, so thanks for any Constructive criticism!
