Piper POV
After those words, Alex Vause disappeared into the crowd leaving behind a confused Piper. Confused, because of the warmth that seemed to appear in her stomach as Alex said those words. Confused, because that warmth was desire.
Alex POV
Alex knew that she liked Piper. That was for sure. Getting so close to the blonde had brought many dirty thoughts to mind. But now, Alex knew there was a chance that Piper liked her back. Why else had she behaved flustered by Nicky's questions? Alex also knew that this was not going to be one of her usual sexcapades where she would seduce women into bed; or wherever she felt like doing it. Piper was different. Not only did she want Piper, but she also wants to keep her. This is not normal for Alex Vause. No, she's the tough biker lesbian that gets what and who she wants and then throws it away. But, for some unknown reason, Piper was different.
The rest of the school day went by in blink as Alex was lost in her thoughts as she conjured different ways to propose an idea of a date. Yes, a date. Already Alex was changing in the presence of the girl that wouldn't escape her thoughts. She was already becoming a "softer" person. Wanting to get to know a girl that she likes.
By the end of the day, Alex decided that she would take her time and spend more time with the girl before she asked her on a date. She would find a way to figure out who Piper Chapman is and why she was so special, so different. Of course, she can't resist flirting a bit and seeing that blush illuminate Piper's face. One thing was for sure; this would be fun.
Piper POV
The next day Piper was excited for lunch time so she could spend time with all of her new friends but especially Alex. She found herself wanting to know more about the brunette and thought about her almost every moment she wasn't with her. The morning passed slowly as time usually does when you're waiting for something in anticipation. The bell freed her from her wait and she headed towards the cafeteria. She was navigating through all the students that were on their way to different areas for lunch when she felt someone lightly grab her wrist. The spark that flared at the touch immediately gave away who it was.
"Hey Al." She said as she looked behind her to find the eyes she's thought of a million times by now.
Alex smiled amusedly and muttered "Hey Pipes" as she started to lead her through the crowd in a different direction from the cafeteria.
"Where are we going?" Piper asked confused by what was happening.
"It's just you and I today." Alex said looking behind her to smirk at Piper.
Piper blushed getting the wrong idea; which was exactly what Alex wanted.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Pipes!" she said smugly when she saw the blush her words had caused on the blonde.
"We're only going to be eating… food." Alex said with a chuckle at the blonde's apparent discomfort.
Piper hit Alex in the arm with her free hand and squealed, "Stop it Alex!"
Alex looked at Piper with an amused smile as they were finally free of the crowd and standing in the school parking lot. "Why?" she said as she raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Is it making you.. uncomfortable?"
"Yeah, sure.. uncomfortable." Piper said uncertainly because she couldn't admit that the reason Alex's teasing bothered her so much was because Alex was unknowingly insinuating what Piper hiddenly desired.
Alex POV
"Okay in that case, I'll stop for the time being." Alex said to ease Piper. "Where do you want to eat for lunch? I was thinking somewhere we could walk to so we can not feel so bad about the food baby we'll be having."
Piper giggled at Alex's suggestion. "Sure, how about the La Madeline across the street?"
Alex hid her uncertainty, she didn't want the blonde to know about her financial situation. She shouldn't be going somewhere so expensive. Alex someone how managed to look sleek even with her second-hand clothes. Today she simply wore skinny jeans, black lace up boots, a white T-shirt, and her beloved black leather jacket. The jacket is all Alex has managed to obtain that wasn't used. But Piper could afford the expensive things in life. You can easily tell from her clothes that were simple, yet showed the elegance of a high price tag. Alex took a look at Piper now that they were outside of the school. She looked beautiful in her light blue sweater, white jeans, and brown leather boots. Her clothes were simple, yet beautiful; just like Piper. She realized she had been staring and looked back up from the girl's outfit to look into her eyes that seemed to hold the world in their depths.
Alex cleared her throat and finally answered, "Let's go."
Piper POV
Everything was easy with Alex. She couldn't come up with any other way to explain the sensation except that it felt right. The two puzzle pieces that connect; that fit just right.
Piper learned a lot about Alex. It turns out Alex is a senior, (Piper is a junior), likes the color black, and loves rock music. After high school, she wants to travel and see the world after saving up enough money.
What surprised Piper the most was when Alex began to speak of her mother. You could see the admiration and love in Alex's eyes and the respect in her voice. Piper didn't say much about her mother, except to say that she was a bit of a narcissistic control-freak.
Conversation easily flowed to their common love of books. Both seemed to appreciate the classics; writers such as Mark Twain, Jane Austin, and George Orwell were mentioned. Of COURSE, conversation of George Orwell led to politics where they found that they had similar beliefs. A belief in freedom to be who you really are, and to make choices that concern your well-being.
Although Piper was enjoying the conversation she became entranced while watching Alex's lush lips as they cleaned the fork of the dessert they had shared.
Piper soon founding herself wishing she could kiss the lips of the beautiful woman before her.
As they walked back towards campus Piper found herself dreading leaving Alex to go to class and not being able to talk to her tomorrow. When they arrived at the school entrance, they turned to face each other to say their good byes until the next day. The area was empty because they were a bit late to class. They stared, for a moment. Both marveling in the beauty of the other that stood before them until Piper broke the silence.
"Thanks, Al. I really had a good time. It sucks that I won't see you until..." Piper stopped herself as she realized she probably sounded clingy and her eyes suddenly became interested with the sidewalk.
Piper was almost startled when she felt a soft yet electric hand gently lift her chin upward and her eyes met the two green forests that held the answers Piper had always been searching for.
"Tomorrow." Alex finished for Piper. "It sucks I won't see you until tomorrow. I know, Pipes."
Piper searched Alex's eyes as she confessed, "It's just, you're always on my mind Alex Vause."
Alex POV
At those last words, Alex lost all will power and couldn't help what happened next.
Her hand shifted from Piper's chin to gently rest against her cheek as she closed her eyes and quickly closed the gap between their mouths as the two finally collided. The electricity went into over drive as their lips moved in unison as if they to a song only their lips knew. When they finally ran out of air Alex pulled back slightly so that their lips were only millimeters apart and breathed, "You're always on my mind Piper Chapman."
