Into You – Ariana Grande
Lyrics are in italics

Alex entered her apartment, tossing her jacket on the couch. As she ventured into the kitchen, her eyes fell on the kitchen table. The room was still the same; nothing had changed from the morning. She walked over to the table on which the two glasses still sat. Picking them up, she pushed down her glasses and examined the glasses from the previous night for any clues they might hold. She placed the glasses in the sink and retrieved a fresh glass from the cabinet. She threw herself in a chair and poured her a few fingers of whiskey.

While she relaxed in the chair and felt the whiskey burn at the back of her throat, her mind went back to the bar and Nicky handing her the photographs. She slowly reached over to the jacket and into its inner pocket, withdrawing the images tossing them down on the stack of mail from earlier. She quickly downed the whiskey in the midst of pulling the last magazine from the pile she had abandoned this morning. Alex thumbed to the section on Piper. There was something about this woman, this model who had Alex caught in a web. Smoking hot, intelligent, so many unique things that had Alex gripped.

I'm so into you, I can barely breathe
And all I wanna do is to fall in deep
But close ain't close enough 'til we cross the line, hey, yeah
So name a game to play, and I'll roll the dice, hey

Her eyes closed to counterbalance replaying her dream from the night before – trying to recreate that visual – and meshing the details that Nicky had shared with her. Alex became lost in a daydream when her body jumped. She quickly caught her tumbler before it hit the floor. She looked round in the direction of the door then back down at the magazine which had fallen to her lap. It was the second knock which made Alex's head instantly turn. She quickly shut the magazine, slipped the pictures inside its pages and tossed it to the table. She took in a deep breath, standing to straighten out her clothes and hauled her body to the door.

Without hesitation, she carelessly flung open the door, stepping to the side while she waited for the person to enter. But when nobody came through the door and someone cleared their throat, Alex quickly swung her body around and looked, realizing that definitely it wasn't who she thought it might be and certainly nobody she would have ever expected, not even in her wildest imagination.

She gasped and her eyes widened. Her previously blurred vision was now in full focus. Alex was taken aback by the woman that stood in front of her. She quickly slammed the door shut as she fell back into the door and her leaned her head against it. Kicking back with her foot, a loud thud sounded against the solid wood.

But then a knock came again. Alex moved from the door as if that would stop the rapping. Turning her head over her shoulder, she gawked at the door. Running her hands through her hair, she pushed her black rimmed glasses on top her head and paced the space between her couch and door and breathed deeply to keep herself from going into shock.

And then the knock on the door again. The person definitely was going away if she didn't open that door again soon. Alex threw her head back, muttering a "No, no, no" under her breath all while she walked back to the door.

Alex steadied herself while trying to wipe the outright fear from her face, swallowing the lump in her throat so she could speak normally. "Ummm… just a minute…" She couldn't escape this.

She quickly took long strides back to the coffee table, gathering the magazines and the photos. Alex quickly looked around the room in panic. Everything was going too fast for her; she suddenly found herself in a daze. The room was spinning. Nothing stood out to her for a place to hide her growing collection. She chewed on her lip nervously and slipped the pile under a collection of random newspapers. Looking back around the room one final time, she rushed to the door.

Alex took a deep breath to clear her mind and opened the door. Clearing her throat, she raised her dropped head to lock eyes with the body propped against the door jamb. Alex gulped. "Ummm… P…Piper." She motioned with her head to greet the blonde.

Piper stood there, looking back at Alex. Each peered at each other in silence.

"Uh… come… come in." Alex stepped aside motioning for her to enter.

As Piper took a step into the door, another figure appeared behind her. Alex quickly jumped back in shock. Looking the figure up and down, She realized who it was. She adjusted herself to stand up straighter, taller. Of course Mike would be with Piper.

Piper turned back to her guard who had remained outside. "I think I'll be okay from here Mike. Go ahead and take the rest of the day off. Spend some time with Javier."

Alex turned her head to Piper, raising her eyebrows as she looked between the two and her eyes examined Mike. Piper on the other hand, winked at Mike and grinned, mouthing a "Go" as she waved goodbye. Before he left, Mike gave a quick glance at Alex, motioning between his eyes and Alex, giving a her a subtle warning. But his tough man exterior cracked when he chuckled. He shook his head and waved bye to the both of them.

After the two women watched him disappear, Piper ventured further in leaving Alex behind her at the door. Piper walked directly to take a seat at the couch, making herself quite at home. Alex shut and locked the door behind them. Before making the short trek herself, she looked at Piper and composed herself once more. This seemed to be quite the morning for Alex to try to keep her poise with the object of her infatuation sitting on her couch. Soon she followed Piper's lead and stood next to Piper a bit short of the couch.

Despite being her in own home, Alex didn't feel anywhere near comfortable. In fact, she seemed frozen to the spot looking everywhere but at Piper. It was the laugh that made her look. Piper had been watching Alex from her seat. When Alex finally looked at her, Piper she held out the black leather jacket she had been holding. "I believe this is yours. Courtesy of Mike…" She used her fingers, as quoted his words and imitating his voice "found in the back seat of the car".

Alex frowned before quickly straightening her face and taking the jacket from Piper. Tossing it beside her next to the other jacket, she took a seat in the chair away from Piper.

"Coffee? Water?" Alex chuckled, following Piper's eyes that looked at the bottle sitting on the coffee table. "Whiskey?"

Piper smiled softly. "Coffee would be great."

Rather than sit in the front room alone, Piper followed Alex to the kitchen. Of course, this made Alex even more nervous since making coffee had actually just been a stalling tactic to again calm her nerves. With Piper there, she simply fumbled with the coffee pot and made a fool of herself. Alex pulled out two mugs and sat them on the counter while trying to hide her shaking hands. Placing them to her side, she turned to Piper. Alex was amazed at how confident the blonde was as she leaned against the counter, watching Alex with a tormenting smile. Alex started some, hesitating to speak, before realizing how silly she probably seemed.

"How do you take it?"

Piper cocked her eyebrow up. "I like it sweet… with a little something on top. Something to build my appetite." Holding eye contact, she took a step closer, running her hand against the counter and her tongue against her lower lip. "…something to fuel my energy."

Alex quickly turned back to the mugs as she swallowed. Closing her eyes when Piper couldn't see, she took the sugar from the shelf to divert the distraction.

Oh baby, look what you started
The temperature's rising in here
Is this gonna happen?
Been waiting and waiting for you to make a move
Before I make a move

Alex poured and doctored both coffees. Turning around cautiously, she set the steaming cup in front of Piper. Raising her own scalding mug to her mouth, Alex took a drink before placing it on the counter and she rubbed the palm of her hands down her thighs wiping off imaginary sweat from the sparks flying between them.

So baby, come light me up and maybe I'll let you on it
A little bit dangerous, but baby, that's how I want it
A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you

This behavior was so not Alex. Her confidence was shot all to hell. As Piper caught the unsure movement of Alex's hands in the corner of her eye, she turned her head to look down at Alex's hands and then back up at Alex.

Alex quickly brushed her hands together, extending her arm as she held out her hand. "I suppose we should meet properly." She looked up to Piper and smirked, "Alex." Ahhh a little confidence returned to the dark haired woman.

Piper had a coy smile on her face. Reaching for Alex's hand, they shared a soft handshake. "Piper… but I think we already met."

Alex stood back. Swallowing. Trying to calm herself while still trying to reconcile her memories from the night before and the dream.

"Last night…" Piper laughed. "We met last night." As Alex looked back to her, it was then that Piper appeared cautious as she frowned at Alex's response and waning composure.

"So, umm… about that Piper… Wh… what are you talking about? Last night… it's all a bit of daze."

Piper tossed her head back as she laughed. "My head hurts this morning, too. But I thought I'd return your jacket… wouldn't want you to think bad of me."

"Bad of you?"

Piper shook her head, taking a drink of her coffee as she placed it behind her. "A bit of fun and then I disappear… we model-types aren't all like that." She turned her body from the counter, walking closer to Alex as she extended her arm, and placed her hand upon Alex's forearm. Tracing a figure on her skin, Piper stopped in front of Alex, and purposely waited for return contact. Biting down on her lip in a seductive manner, and sultry eyes, Piper whispered, "I thought maybe we could talk…"

Alex felt the flush rise in her chest. This time, she was really at a loss for words. Piper took hold of her hand as she walked them to the lounge, motioning for Alex to take a seat on the couch beside her. "Mike couldn't wait to tell me his version of what happened. The joy of having a body guard who is also a friend… the teasing never stops." She rolled her eyes as she placed her hand upon Alex's knee. "Apparently, we – you and I - were so deep into locking lips that I had forgotten myself. That and the amount of alcohol we consumed. It's all a blur."

Alex pulled her leg away from Piper's hand as she looked to her puzzled.

Piper continued to connect the dots." We both couldn't wait to get out of the club… so Mike, he brought us back here. A few drinks were shared, but I admit I have no reclamation of this place…" She chuckled to herself. "But at least today I'm sober and can put a face to a name, and a take in your home. You are definitely hot. At least I remembered that much correctly."

"You… you were here?"

Piper laughed. Nodding her head. "You must have been out of it yourself… but I wouldn't have known. Apparently I passed out on your bed, so Mike took me home." She leaned on her side, as her arm stretched across the back of the couch and she looked in Alex's direction. "And then with the fame, comes the paparazzi."

Got everyone watchin' us, so baby, let's keep it secret
A little bit scandalous, but baby, don't let them see it
A little less conversation and a little more touch my body
Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you, oh yeah

Piper looked around the room, noting the pile of newspapers as she leaned forward, "the stories in those magazines… This time I think we got away with it though." She swung her arm around, in the process knocking the pile that scattered on the floor below the coffee table. She quickly fell to her knees, ""Oh god, I'm such a klutz. I'm so sorry."

"Fuck."

Her head snapped back round to Alex, who was quickly on her knees and frantically picking up the material. Piper grabbed what she could, standing to her feet as Alex jumped up beside her.

With a fan weekly in her hand, Piper took a step back. Looking down to the cover, she smiled to herself. She looked to Alex who was on edge, her body immobile and eyes wide. Piper waved the magazine around as Alex's eyes widened further as she motioned for Piper to stop. "I didn't strike you as someone who would be into this… Alex."

But Piper ignored the signal and the photos Alex had previously stuck inside started to slip out. She pulled out a picture and put it atop of the magazine and examined it. She flipped through gathering all of the photos from the night before and brought them to where she could see them.

Alex remained motionless, watching Piper's face, terrified at the reaction that was certain to come. Piper looked up to Alex, holding a photograph as she gave Alex a curious the look. Alex wished now that the floor would open and swallow her up. The silence was deafening, so quiet in fact that Piper could hear Alex swallowing and taking deep breaths.

"Something you're not telling me Alex?" Piper picked up the other images, looking between them and Alex. Alex was mortified. The blood rushed out of Alex's face, leaving her skin even more pale than normal. "It's nice to meet you… in person… now I see what you mean… Alex." Each time, Piper put a strong emphasis on Alex's name seemingly to punctuate the embarrassment.

Alex took a cautious step forward as she held her hand out in front of her. Looking at the images. "I… I…"

Piper threw her head back laughing. "My own stalker… nice to really meet you Alex."

Alex quickly took the magazine from Piper placing it on the table along with the images. She began frantically pleading with Piper as she couldn't talk quick enough. "I'll explain. It's not how it looks."

"A girl can fantasize… I would, too. A girl as hot as you Alex after a woman as hot as myself… I see why people do it."

"What can I say?" Alex muttered under her breath. "A… a girl has to have her vices."

Piper took a step forward with a grin plastered on her face. She was amused at what she had seen. Her hand reached out to contact Alex's skin while she ran her fingers across her cheek. "It's okay… Charming… that you consider me as a vice… I bet you know more about me than I know about myself…"

Alex groaned as she buried her head in her hands. "Seriously?"

This could take some time, hey
I made too many mistakes
Better get this right, right, baby

"Seriously." Piper's blue eyes drilled into Alex. "I'm always humored by why people seem so interested in me, my life."

Alex took a look at Piper, realizing that she wasn't angry. Smirking, she cocked an eyebrow and grinned. "Piper Chapman. 24. Smith graduate. English literature major… Started modeling as a way to pay for a gap year abroad before college and ended up paying your own way through college to spite your parents."

"You did your research." Piper's voice was matter of fact without a hint of annoyance or anger.

Alex nodded, slightly embarrassed with herself. She sat back down in the couch as she looked to Piper.

"Good knowledge. However, it seems I do better research than you Alex… or at least my PR people do."

Alex cocked an eyebrow, tilting her head sideways. Turning to Alex slightly, she fiddled with her back pocket. Alex watched on in slight confusion at the meaning of Piper's words, she eventually sat beside her.

"It seems you missed this one…" Piper handed Alex a photo.

Looking to Piper questionably, not knowing what to expect as she turned back to the image. Alex unfolded the picture. Alex's mouth dropped open, a mixture of a gasp and a laugh escaping. Her hands were up Piper's skirt with Piper using the wall to hold herself up. Alex examined the picture further, recognizing her hands, but then stopping as clutched onto the couch. Her mouth dropped open further as she noted her face buried between Piper's breasts – more specifically sucking Piper's petite nipple deep into her mouth.

"My publicist is pretty pissed." Piper looked down to her feet, shaking her head as she laughed to herself at what had happened not so long ago. "Apparently he paid a lot of dough to keep this one particular one off the streets…"

Alex nudged Piper's side slightly causing both women to face each other with huge smiles. They erupted in laughter at their shared amusement of the picture and being caught in the act, so to speak. As they both caught their breath, Alex moved slightly closer to Piper has she handed the picture back. Piper placed it on the pile as she lined it out next to the others. "I think it's a rather good picture myself."

"Just a shame we both don't remember…"

Piper stopped playing with the pictures. She held her position all the while turning to the side to look at Alex moving back into the cushion. Despite sitting side by side with thighs pressed together, now it was Piper who avoided looking at Alex.

"My memory was a blur Piper… but if I could revisit it again… I think I would."

Piper lifted her head; her eyes darting between Alex's eyes and lips. A smile graced Piper's lips. Reaching out for Alex's hand, she took it into her own running her finger across Alex's smooth skin. Her attention was riveted on their entwined hands, "the hands in the skirt?" Piper laughed when Alex swatted her. "Or the mouth on my breast?"

She looked up to Alex, tilted her head to the side, and scrunched up her face as pretended to debate the options in her head. Eyes closed, she opened them back up, so that green met with blue. "Both. There's no paparazzi to document our tryst… but I mean… we could always improvise it."

Alex raised her eyebrow. There was a sultry look on Piper's face. Her eyes stayed focused on Alex's features, again glancing between her lips and eyes with pure desire on her face. Piper looked to Alex for approval, took in a breath and slowly moved forward.

Oh baby, look what you started
The temperature's rising in here
Is this gonna happen?
Been waiting and waiting for you to make a move
Before I make a move

Piper kept her voice low and eyes locked on Alex's. "Soft lips... touching." She bit on the corner of her mouth, her body moving closer, sliding her hand up Alex's thigh, "Tongues, entwining." Running a finger across Alex's cheek, "heat intensifying". Piper tilted her head and closed her eyes. She pressed her lips lightly against Alex's to test the reaction. After a brief connection, Piper pulled back to open her eyes and read Alex's facial expression.

Alex's hand connected with Piper's cheek and cupped her jaw in one hand, bringing her lips to Piper's this time. Their lips locked together, and this time the passion instantly arose as the woman alternated dominance as they stepped up the pace of their kiss. Quickly the women were in sync as their tongues entwined and hands tangled in each other's hair. So caught off guard by having Piper in her apartment – kissing her nonetheless - Alex fell back to couch, and Piper moved to straddle her.

The reaction was immediate as their bodies pressed together. Piper took advantage of her position to immediate grind her core against Alex's thigh. Alex lifted her torso to press her breasts into Piper's. Alex moved her hands to grasp Piper's ass. Piper pulled back to break the connection of their lips. She placed one finger against Alex's lips and shook her head to get Alex's attention so she could speak quietly.

Alex struggled to connect her lips back with Piper's, but Piper's position allowed her to maintain dominance and reject Alex's attempts. Alex attempted a new tactic and moved to press her lips against Piper's neck. Alex lingered slightly, breathing on Piper's sensitive skin, lips brushing Piper's ear. Alex's mouth stopped next to Piper's ear as her husky voice broke out, as she whispered "I'm so into you."

Piper pulled Alex's head back to face her and again pressed a finger against Alex's lips. "Don't talk Alex… Just finish what you started."

Alex placed her hands on Piper's hips and moved to kiss her gently. Alex knew the couch was definitely not the place for this encounter and pushed back Piper's small body so both women could stand with all intentions of moving into to the bedroom. Alex's hand stayed on the small of Piper's back as she brushed her cheek with her lips and kissed her again. Alex maneuvered Piper backwards but mis-stepped and Piper's legs hit the coffee table.

As Alex caught her before she could fall, her other hands began to slip on the magazines left on the table. Alex swept the pictures aside to the floor. Stopping, as both their heads to turn to the images, they each focused particularly on the image of them together. Laughing together, Alex shook her head. She grasped Piper's hand and moved them away from the glaring pictures and pulled Piper into her bedroom.

Alex turned to look over her shoulder at Piper. This time it was Alex raising a finger to her lips, motioning for Piper to not speak. Alex turned back around to pull Piper into her room. But Piper stopped, using the weight of her body to prevent the taller woman from going any further. Alex's head turned back around confused. Piper took advantage of the momentary lapse in concentration and stepped in front of her. Leading Alex into the room, she pushed the door shut behind them. Back in control, she pushed Alex firmly back against the door and raised her arms to hold her in position.

Piper's eyes were dark and lust filled. She broke their contact, stepped back from Alex and slowly began to unbutton her shirt. Piper reached out to grasp Alex's shirt and pulled the taller woman towards her. Nothing turned Piper on more than taking control from someone who was used to being in charge. She ran her hands under Alex's shirt and tucked her fingers into the waist of her jeans. She regarded Alex's body up and down as she pushed her back from her again.

Alex looked to Piper in confusion. She moved to Piper, trying her hardest to kiss her.

Tell me what you came here for
Cause I can't, I can't wait no more
I'm on the edge with no control
And I need, I need you to know
You to know, oh

Piper stopped her with a look that needed no explanation. Alex stayed where she was, following the non-verbal request of the blonde who had now walked to Alex's bed. Piper pulled back the covers and sat on the edge of the bed in a slow, fluid motion as if this was her own room in her own flat. Once she was comfortable, she motioned for Alex to join her. Piper watched Alex approach with sultry eyes and wet lips.

Alex stood with her legs on either side of Piper and ran her fingers down the exposed skin from her chin to her breasts back to her chin. Alex followed her own fingers with her eyes and finally gazed back into Piper's baby blues as she held the blonde's gaze. Alex ran her fingers across Piper's face, brushing strands of her hair behind her ear. Alex dropped her eyes to Piper's lips aching to lean in for another kiss as she was going into withdrawal. Sensing what Alex wanted, Piper rejected the move and fell against the mattress, pulling Alex's body on top of her.

As she pressed her center against Piper, Alex pushed aside the thin material that covered Piper's skin. But despite Alex's weight, Piper propped herself up on her elbows. Caressing Alex's face, she motioned for her to come closer. Piper's lips brushed against Alex's face. Alex closed her eyes at the warmth of the contact. Piper smiled slyly as she moved her mouth to Alex's ear and whispered, "Everything is better from atop…"

The sound of Alex inhaling a sharp breath lifted the room as Piper flipped her body. She held Alex to the bed as she hovered above the taller woman. Piper watches Alex's eyes while her hands explored Alex's body. She dipped a hand into Alex's jeans and teased slightly, tangling her fingers in the thin material of lingerie.

Alex takes Piper's face within her hands, opening her mouth to speak. "Pip…"

"Shhh…" Piper made swift work of Alex's shirt so she could lower her body and make contact with the exposed skin. She quickly freed Alex from the offending material and motioned for her lift her body. Piper reached behind her to unclasp her bra. As Alex did so, Piper's lips met Alex's neck and she sucked slightly before placing a trail of teasing kisses on Alex's bare torso all the while aware that Alex wanted more.

A little less conversation and a little more touch my body
Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you

As Alex's breasts became free and she laid half bare on the bed, Piper trailed her mouth between each breast. She allowed her breath to linger as she traveled across Alex's skin. Her tongue stopped beneath Alex's breast. Piper looked up to see Alex's eyes clenched shut. So she cupped a breast in one hand, squeezing then sucked on the taut skin. Using her tongue, she circled the nipple and bit down lightly. Alex's gasp was loud as she arched her back at the slight pain. Piper soothed the area with her mouth. Sucking gently, flicking the nipple with her tongue, she mirrored her actions with her fingers on the other breast. As she twisted that nipple, Alex's body jerked again.

Piper's attention moved further south, all the time sucking on Alex's skin. Pausing below her belly button, Piper sucked harder, making her mark. She fiddled with the button on Alex's jeans, undoing it and then slipping her hand inside the waistband, tugging at the material. She glided her fingers into Alex's panties, curling her fingers to work both pieces of material down Alex's hips together. Piper left Alex's breast and made the journey down Alex's legs on all fours while Alex kicked off her remaining clothes so that she was now completely naked on her bed. Without a second thought, she parted her legs instantly to allow Piper to press between them.

Piper positioned herself at the bend of Alex's knee. Using her tongue, she worked from the tender skin behind the knee, up the inside of her thigh. Piper used a single finger to reflect the movements on the other leg. Her hand continued its journey, extending to again reach for Alex's breast. She teased Alex's breasts while lingering between Alex's legs, venturing closer and closer to Alex's core. Piper tormented Alex by traced along one inner thing then skipping over to the other.

Just as Alex opened her mouth to speak – to beg - Piper ran a finger between her folds causing Alex's mouth to go bone dry and her mind to no longer work. She pushed Alex's legs further apart and buried her head into Alex's center. She ran her tongue up and down Alex's entrance, teasing.

Alex regained enough of her mind to release a small moan. Piper rewarded her by slipping two slender fingers deep inside of Alex while shifting her mouth to Alex's clit. Piper moved slowly yet deliberately. She picked up a rhythm which allowed her to tease Alex as she withdrew and reinserted her dripping fingers. As Alex's moans built, Piper's fingers curled inside her and she stepped up her pace. Alex allowed her body to twitch and her back to arch. But as Alex almost reached her high, Piper withdrew.

Alex's protests were silenced by wet fingers running up her body. Piper wiped her fingers across Alex's lips then she dipped her fingers into her own mouth to lap off the wetness. Piper moved her body off of Alex not finishing what she started. Alex's eyes widened as she felt herself being turned over and pulled on top of Piper who hitched her legs up so that Alex was sitting on her chest. A smirk crossed Piper's face as she guided Alex's core to dangle above her mouth.

Alex looked down to Piper, and blue eyes met green.

So come light me up
So come light me up, my baby
A little dangerous
A little dangerous, my boy

A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body
Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you
