Piper POV
I woke up to find Alex spooning me, her head nuzzled into the back of my neck. I laid there content with the feeling of her arms around me. My mind began to wander to the events of the day before, as I played with her hand that rested on my stomach. I felt her smile into my neck, her hold on me tightening slightly.
"Good Morning." She breathed out, her voice raspy. I smiled as I turned in her arms to face her.
"No, it's not." Her brow furrowed a small frown slipping onto her face as I continued to play with her fingers. "It's a great morning."
She chuckled as she turned onto her back pulling me on top of her.
"You are so cheesy." She punctuated each word with a chaste kiss.
"I'm the cheesy one, really?"
"Is that even a question?" She smirked. I leaned down to kiss her, pulling the blanket over us.
"Well then if I'm the cheesy one then you're the cute one." I said placing my elbows on either side of her head.
"Wrong again babe. See you're the cheesy, cute one and I'm the hot badass one." She tightened her arms around me.
"Ok." I said nodding my head. "But you forgot one thing."
"And what was that?" She cocked her eyebrow at me.
"You love me." A huge smile broke across her face as she pulled me in for a deep kiss.
"Yes, I do." She whispered against my lips before reconnecting them again.
The kiss deepened quickly as I pushed myself against her. Her hands ran up my back to my neck, weaving through my hair. I leaned back onto her legs to pull off my shirt, Alex coming with me. Her hands ran up my stomach as she pushed the shirt up my torso. I moaned as she slipped it off my head, leaning in to nip my ear.
"Shower." She whispered as she moved down my neck placing light kisses on her way to my pulse point. I pulled back to look her in the eye, a smirk firmly in place as she cocked an eyebrow at me.
"So, you like shower sex now?"
"Why don't you come and see." She said as she pulled her legs out from under me, swinging them off the bed. "Pun fully intended by the way."
"Of course, it is." I said as I stood up and walked past her to the bathroom leaving the door open as I turned on the shower and shed my barely existent thong.
She appeared in the door way just as I stepped into the shower, her clothes already gone. Smiling at her I held my hand out, to pull her in with me. Once inside she immediately pushed me up against the wall, the perfectly warm water falling over us. Immediately she took both my breasts in her hands, massaging them roughly, before pinching the nipples between her thumb and forefinger. Leaning in to reconnect our lips, her hand slipped down to my center, a low moan escaping her as she found me completely soaked. Slowly she ran her fingers up and down my folds, brushing over my clit lightly with her thumb each time. Feeling my need, she quickly entered me, my back arching up from the cool tile behind me. Pushing into me, she moved her other hand to my waist holding me steady. I moaned as her fingers moved inside of me, gently pushing in and out, her thumb circling my clit. My whole body shuddered as her pace quickened my legs beginning to give way beneath me.
"It's ok. I got you." She whispered against my ear, placing a small kiss on my cheek as my walls began to clench around her fingers.
She leaned back to look me in the eye, her gaze intense as she watched me. I wrapped my arms tighter around her pulling her back into me, my fingers digging into her skin sure to leave marks for days. She moved her hand to wrap around my waist pushing me onto her hand as she curled her fingers up, her thumb pressing down on my clit. My legs giving out as I came, I bit her shoulder as she continued to move inside me. Slowly she pulled her fingers out, wrapping her arms around me, turning us to be under the water completely. After a few seconds of her holding me, my words finally came back to me.
"What time do you have to be at work?" She pulled back to look at me, her eyes darkening to a deep green.
"Red is opening, so 10."
"Good." I said as I pushed her back against the tiled wall, taking her lips in mine.
"I have a feeling I'm going to be late anyways." She whispered.
Alex POV
Taystee and Poussey looked up from clearing a table as I pushed open the door of the shop at 11:30. Ignoring them I headed straight back to my office. Making sure to slip past Red on my way. Even though I owned the place I was still afraid to run into her after showing up and hour and a half late to my shift. Piper and I had barely been able to pull away from each other. After spending way to long in the shower, we got out and didn't even make it to the bedroom before she was up on the counter and I was in-between her legs. The only thing that pulled us apart long enough to get dressed was a phone call from Polly warning Piper if she didn't get her ass into work she would disown her as a friend. But that threat didn't even stop her from pinning me against the wall on our way out the door. The sudden ringing of my phone dragged me out of my thoughts. I smiled as I saw the caller ID, shutting the door to my office behind me I answered.
"Hey mom." I said as I shrug off my jacket and hang it up.
"Hey kid, I got some great news." I could hear the excitement in her voice carry across the line.
"Oh yeah?"
"I was able to get 4 days off for next month." I stopped in the middle of opening my laptop. "So, I was thinking of coming into the city to meet Piper in person. And visit my only daughter of course."
"You want to meet Piper?" I asked trying to keep my voice from rising in panic.
She laughed before answering. "Yes. I want to meet this girl that you talk so much about. Is that a problem." She paused for a second before continuing. "Alexandra Pearl Vause please tell me you did not mess this up."
"No, no. Piper and I are…good mom. We're really good." I lean back in my chair.
"Did you finally tell her you loved her?" A smile slowly slipped onto my face.
"Yeah, mom I told her."
"So, what's the problem with me meeting her?" I massaged my temple, closing my eyes as I released a long sigh.
"I'd have to talk to Piper, I don't know how she is gonna feel about this."
"Well when I talked to her last week she said she couldn't wait to meet me." My eyes flung open, as I sat upright.
"You guys talk?" She laughed across the line.
"Yes Alex, we talk. Is that a problem?"
"No."
"Ok good. I have to get back to work but let me know what she says. Alright?"
"Yeah mom sure."
"Love you."
"Bye mom." I sighed as I hanged up the phone, leaning forward to rest my head on my desk.
How was I going to introduce my mom to Piper? I mean I know they got along on the phone but that didn't mean they would in person. There was only one way I knew how to sort out my thoughts. Turning my phone off, I stood and walked back out to the kitchen. I gave Red a small smile as I picked up our most recent cake order. I collected everything I would need and set about to make the cake, my nervousness about the two most important people in my life falling to the wayside.
Piper POV
"You guys said the L- word, didn't you?" Polly whispered as she passed me. I looked up to her from where I was restocking lotion. Giving the customer who had just entered the store a small smile, I walked over to where Polly stood behind the counter.
"Maybe."
"You did, don't deny it. You've had this big ass smile on your face all day."
"I have not." I said trying hard to keep a smile from creeping back onto my face.
"And you showed up two hours late, only to make out with Alex on her motorcycle for 15 minutes before walking in here like you didn't just give all of New York City a free show."
I felt my face burn red as a deep blush took over. "Ok. We said it."
She leaned forward glancing at the customer behind me before speaking.
"So how was the sex?" I bit my lip as I contemplated my answer, deciding to be fully honest.
"Jesus Polly, it was amazing. I mean the sex before was amazing but there is something different to it now." I paused to look at her. "I came 7 times this morning."
She rolled her eyes as she stood up. "Ok that is just excessive."
"I don't know what to tell you, Pol. We were barely able to make it out the door this morning."
"Ok, shut up. I regret asking now. Get back to work, you sexed out lesbian."
I smiled as I turned away. "I'm far from being sexed-out."
"Not listening." She whispered harshly at me before shifting back to greet another customer.
I sat on Alex's couch her head on my lap as I idly traced the rose tattoo on her left bicep. I felt her shift, and I glanced away from the book I had stolen from her, to catch her brow furrow as a deep frown slipped into place. She sighed loudly as she picked up my hand on her arm and moved it over to her chest, intertwining her fingers with mine. I smiled slightly as I went back to reading, waiting for her to tell me what was bothering her. She shifted again moving to lie on her back, releasing another long sigh.
"Ok, babe what's wrong?" I put my book down to look her in the face. She stuck her bottom lip out in a slight pout before looking up to meet my eyes.
"My mom got 4 days off next month to come and visit." I brought my hand up to run through her hair as I took in her expression.
"And you're not excited because?"
"You're going to be meeting her for the first time."
"Al, I can't wait to meet your mom." I said as I squeezed her hand.
Slowly a smile slipped onto her face, softening it. "Really?"
"Yes Alex. I can't wait to ask her for all the embarrassing stories about you." I said as I leaned down to kiss her.
She smirked as she pulled back from the kiss. "Oh, I thought she already told you a good amount of those."
"Only the mild ones. She said she's saving the best for when we meet in person."
"And what are the mild ones?" She asks with a cock of her eyebrow.
"I can't say."
"Oh really?"
"You're going to have catch me first." I say as I jump up from the couch.
"I'm gonna make you spill all your secrets Chapman."
She laughs as she gets up to chase me around the couch. I giggle wildly as she scoops me up from behind kissing my check as she spins us back to the bedroom.
Alex POV
I burrowed my head further into the back of Pipers neck trying desperately to ignore the banging on my apartment door. It stopped for a second and I tightened my arm around Pipers waist pulling her closer to me. I was just starting to fall back asleep when the pounding began again, this time waking Piper. She groaned as she turned into me, resting her head just under my chin, her legs intertwining in mine. The pounding stopped again as I wrapped my arms around her, my hands running up and down her bare back, the sheet having fallen to the side. Suddenly my bedroom door flew open, the overhead light coming on. I sat up holding a very confused Piper to me as I pulled the sheet around us.
"What the fuck." I called out as my eyes attempted to adjust to the bright light.
"Alex what's going on?" Piper asked as she attempted to turn and see who had barged in, her arms and legs wrapping tightly around me.
"Vause, Blondie!" Nicky exclaimed as she raised a bottle to her lips taking a long drink.
I held Piper closer to me as I picked up my glasses from the bedside table.
"Nichols what the fuck are you doing here?" She shrugged her shoulders at me before kicking off her shoes and walking around the bed to my side.
Piper and I glanced at each other as we took in Nicky's disheveled appearance. Her normally crazy hair, looked like it was on steroids, her clothes were smudged with dirt and ripped in places, and it looked like she had been crying. I scooted over in the bed, moving Piper and I away from Nicky as she flopped down.
"Nicky are you ok?" Piper asked quietly, like she was afraid her voice would scare Nicky.
"Lorna kicked me out." She said turning to look at us. Her eyebrows raising as if she had just noticed our position. "Damn Vause I didn't think your boobs were that big, and pillowly."
Piper blushed as she attempted to cover my right breast from Nicky's view. I threw Nicky a glare as I pulled the comforter up from the bottom of the bed and wrapped it around Piper.
"Are you ok?" I whispered in Pipers ear, as she pulled me closer to her. She nodded as she buried her face in my chest, the heat from her blush burning against my skin.
"So, I'm just going to throw this out there." I looked up to see a grinning Nicky. "Threesome?"
"Nicky. Get. The. Fuck. Out. Of. My. Room." I growled out at her fully unamused.
"Damn blondie you sure as hell got Vause one tight ass leash." I felt Piper laugh against me slightly. Nicky took another long pull from the bottle she held before standing and walking over to the door.
"Sleep it off on the couch Nichols and we'll talk then."
"Thanks, Vause." She smiled at me before turning the light off and shutting the door.
I held Piper in the dark for a moment, before we both began to laugh. I pulled back to look at her, tears streaming down her face as she tried to regain herself.
"From now on, I'm locking the bedroom door." Piper managed out between laughs, as she slid off my lap.
"Probably a good idea. Especially since Nicky has a key." I leaned in to give her a chaste kiss on the lips before standing and walking over to the door and locking it. I smiled as I walked back to the bed.
"Be my big spoon?" Piper asked sleepily.
"Always." I said as I got back into bed, pulling the covers over both of us before wrapping my arm around her. I rubbed her stomach soothingly as I listened to her breathe.
"I love you."
"I love you too." I kissed her nape, as I settled in pressing my face into her hair.
I groaned as I sat up quickly to shut off my alarm clock before it could wake Piper. I turned back to her, leaning in to kiss her cheek slightly as I slowly removed my hand from her waist. Sighing I threw on a tank top and my boy shorts before unlocking the door and slipping out of the room. I walked over to the couch to check on a passed-out Nicky before continuing to the kitchen to start the coffee. I pulled out two mugs adding a little bit sugar to one before filling them up. I set the one with sugar down in front of Nicky, turning to the hall I walked over to my jacket and pulled out my pack of cigarettes and my zippo. Picking up my coffee I walked over the window and pushed it open. I lit my cigarette and watched as Nicky began to stir, the coffee and smoke doing its job. Slowly she sat up, whipping her head around as she tried to place her surroundings. Turning to pick up her coffee, she stood and walked over to where I sat at the window. Sitting down she took a cigarette and lit it, taking a long drag before she met my eyes.
"Sorry about last night." She whispered as she took a sip of her coffee.
I took a drag, blowing the smoke into her face. "It's Piper, not me you should be apologizing to."
She nodded her head in acknowledgement before turning to look out the window. A large silence fell over the room as we both finished our cigarettes.
"I flirted with some chick at a bar last night. Not anything serious just for fun, you know?" She looked at me for support.
"Sure."
"Anyways Lorna didn't see it that way and she kicked me out of my own apartment."
"Did you try to apologize?"
"No. Maybe. I don't know I was super drunk." She pulled her legs up under her chin and looked at me, a slight sadness in her eyes. "I think I fucked things up."
"Maybe, Nick, maybe. You definitely have to apologize before you throw in the towel though."
"How? I'm pretty sure she won't even let me go near her."
"Piper has a meeting with her today at Popi. Maybe she can get her to agree to meet you." I say as I stand up and walk into the kitchen.
"Really?" Nicky asks with hope in her voice. I pull 2 bowls out from the cabinet and fill them with cereal, and milk.
"I'll ask her before I leave." I turn to Nicky and hand her one of the bowls. She smiles back up at me as she sits down on one of the stools and begins to eat.
"I owe you big time, Vause."
"I'm going to hold you to that someday." I smirk as I sit down beside her.
Piper POV
I woke to the sound of someone softly knocking on the bedroom door. I reached out to Alex's side of the bed only to be met with the cold mattress. Sighing I sat up slowly and looked at the time, quarter to 7 she had probably already left for work. The knocking on the door intensified slightly and I pulled the blankets up around me, making sure I was completely covered.
"Come in." The door opened and Nicky peered around it, giving me a sheepish grin as she entered the room.
"Hey, Vause told me to give you this." She said holding out a mug. I smiled warmly as I took it from her.
"Thanks Nicky."
"I'm really sorry about last night."
"It's okay, Nicky we've all been there." I moved over a bit and patted the bed beside me offering her a seat.
"Really?" She asked with a slight chuckle.
"No, but you get my point." We fell silent for a moment as I took a sip of my coffee.
"So, what happened between you and Lorna?" Nicky gave me a weak smile before diving head first into her and Lorna's fight. I nodded and offered support when she looked up at me.
"Do you think you can talk to her today?" I sipped at my coffee as I weighed my options.
"Maybe. But only if she brings it up first."
Nicky jumped up from the bed and wrapped me in a big bear hug. "Thanks, blondie."
"Anytime." I said pulling back from her. She smiled before turning to walk to the door.
"Oh, Vause also said to give you this." She pulled a folded piece of paper out of her pocket and held it out to me.
"Thanks Nick." I said as I took the paper from her. She shrugged her shoulders before walking out of the room closing the door behind her. I smiled to myself as I slowly unfolded the paper.
Pipes.
I was running a little late. I feel horrible Nicky was the one to wake you up and not me. I'll make it up to you tonight. I promise. I love you xxx
A
I traced my fingers as I read over the note again, totally taken with Alex's sweet gesture. After reading it one last time, I refolded it and tucked it behind my phone case for safe keeping. I stretched before setting about to get ready for the day.
I leaned back into the office chair Polly had brought from home as I scanned over Lorna's resumé. Internally grateful to Polly for having the idea to hire someone part-time now that the store was starting to really take off. When I had told Lorna about the possibility of Popi hiring, she surprised me with knowledge of essential oils and cosmetics. I had wanted to hire her on the spot, but she had insisted I interview her like a normal candidate. I chuckled to myself slightly as I heard her squirm in her seat across from me. Lowering the paper, I met her eye, a smile slipping onto my face as I saw she wasn't amused.
"You know Piper when I said a real interview I didn't mean you had to do all of this." She said motioning to the fake office I had set up in the back-storage room.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I said setting her resumé down.
She rolled her eyes at me and popped her gum. "So?"
"Oh, you were hired the minute you came in here."
"Oh my god, really?" She exclaimed, her Brooklyn accent jumping up a couple of octaves.
"Yeah. Welcome to Popi." I stood, extending my hand out for her to shake. She swatted it away and pulled me into a hug.
"Thank you so much Piper. With everything with Nicky, I just didn't know…" I pulled away to look at her.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She gave me a small smile as she nodded her head.
"We were at this bar last night. And we were having fun, dancing, and everything. Then I left to go to the bathroom to find some stranger on her lap."
"Really?" I asked surprised that Nicky hadn't passed this on to me.
"Yeah. The worst part was that this girl had her hands all over Nicky and she wasn't even trying to push her off, or stop her."
"Oh, Lorna." She looked up at me, tears streaming down her face.
"So, I left and I don't know how, but I found myself at her apartment. Next thing I know its morning and she hasn't even come back."
"Nicky crashed on Alex's couch last night." I said as I walked across the room to pick up a box of tissues. Lorna looked up at me as I handed her the tissues.
"She what?" She asked wiping her eyes.
"Yeah, she used her key to get in and came barging into our bedroom drunk off her ass. It looked like she had been crying." I stopped to look Lorna in the eye, making sure she understood how bad Nicky felt.
"I'm so sorry, Piper. Oh god, I just feel horrible now."
"It's not that big of a deal. Really. But you should know how messed up she is over this."
"I start here, tomorrow right?" Her question takes me off guard for second.
"Yeah at 12, why?"
"I have to talk to Nicky." I smile as she stands and grabs her things. "Thanks Piper, for everything."
"No problem." I call as she rushes out the door.
I check the time before pulling my phone out to text Alex. Very proud of myself for sorting out the Nicky issue.
Did I tell you how much I loved the note, yet?
Alex: Only a couple of times.
Alex: How did it go with Lorna?
You don't have to worry about Nicky mopining around on your couch all week
Alex: Good because I have grand plans for tonight, that may involve the couch.
I feel warmth spread from my stomach down below my waist as I read Alex's flirtatious text. I decided to play coy and see what other information I can get out of her.
Oh, so just you and the couch?
Alex: And you
Alex: But I'm not giving up anything else.
Alex: No pouting
I was not pouting.
Can't I just get a hint on what to expect tonight?
Alex: Show me your tits ;)
Ok
I smiled to myself as I walked back to the bathroom, fully intending to comply to Alex's request.
Alex POV
I felt my heart drop as I looked down at Pipers response to my request. She had sent me a shirtless selfie of her. She was wearing my favorite black lace bra; her big blue eyes were staring back at me as she bit her bottom lip. I looked up from the picture, scanning my surroundings making sure no one saw. Luckily it was just after the lunch rush, so there weren't many people around. I almost dropped my phone as another picture from Piper came in, I quickly swiped it open. Piper had removed her bra and was sticking her tongue out at the camera, her eyes dark with arousal. I dropped the plates I had been picking up to the table and sat down quickly crossing my legs. The wetness between them growing as I dissected the picture, trying to commit it to memory.
Piper: Is that good enough?
Jesus Piper, that is so not fair.
Piper: How so?
Piper: Did I get you all hot and bothered at work with sexy pictures?
I smiled as I caught on to what she was eluding to, as I typed out my response.
Ok, if you want to play it like that, then game on.
Piper: So, does this mean I'm not getting any hints as to what you have planned for tonight?
It depends how fast you break…
I stood up from the table, quickly collecting the plates and carrying them back to the kitchen to be washed. I stopped to talk to Poussey to make sure she knew she was closing before I continued to my office. Once inside I locked the door then pulled out my phone and snapped several photos of me, in various stages of undress. Smiling I sent the first of many to Piper, before quickly getting dressed again and grabbing my coat.
I attempted to keep a straight face as I heard Piper knock on my front door. I picked up the glass of wine I had poured for her and walked over to the door. Straightening the short black dress, I had thrown on knowing full well what it would do to her, I opened the door.
"Hey babe." I said holding the wine glass out to her. I watched as her eyes traced over my body, before finally coming to meet mine. She frowned at me, her eyes trying hard to hide her arousal. Pushing past me, she walked into the living throwing her purse down on the couch, her coat following it. I watched her for a minute before closing the door and turning to her.
"So, I guess you're not feeling red tonight?" I asked as I walked past her holding the glass out to her again. She turns to face me, extending her arm to accept the glass. I try to hold in my laughter at her attempt to remain mad at me.
"So how was your day, babe?" I call over my shoulder as I walk into the kitchen.
"Funny you should ask." She sits down at the kitchen counter, running her index finger around the edge of her glass. I look at her as I mix the green beans in the pan, a singular eyebrow raised I cock my head to the side.
"How so?"
"Well I was texting my super-hot girlfriend…" She pauses as I bend down to open the stove and check on the potatoes. I turned back to look at her, swaying my hips slightly.
"You were saying?" Her face blushed red as she looks up to meet my eyes, she shifts to cross her legs tightly.
"You're doing this all on purpose, aren't you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, babe." I walk over to the counter to stand across form her. Leaning forward I place my elbows on the table. She swallows as she turns to face me, her eyes drifting down to my chest. "Finish your story."
"Seriously Al!" She pouted.
"What? You asked for a hint for tonight."
"So, your hint was to send me photos of you in various phases of stripping?!" I threw her a smirk as I walked back over to the stove to check the chicken.
"Did you not like them?" I flipped my hair over my shoulder.
She bit her lip as she looked me up and down. "Is the chicken done?"
"Yeah why?" I asked as I turned off the flame.
"I'll be right back." She hopped off the chair and threw me a wink before running back to my bedroom.
I stared at the closed door for a second before shrugging my shoulders and pulling out two plates. I dished up a spoonful of green beans, potatoes, and piece of chicken onto each. I set the plates on the counter, standing back I moved the food around until I felt that it was presentable. I checked the time, Piper had been back there for over 10 minutes now. I was topping off our wine glasses when the bedroom door flew open and Piper appeared. My mouth fell open as I watched her walk slowly across the room. She was wearing a brand new black lace teddy with red trim, her hair curled slightly and a fresh layer of red lipstick. She smiled at me as she leaned in to kiss my cheek.
"Mmm babe, it smells good." I continued to stare at her as she sat down.
"Piper?" I called out, my voice shaking with desire
"Yeah babe." She looked up at me. "Can I eat? Cause I'm starving."
"Piper what are you doing?" She picked up her fork and pierced it through a green bean, keeping eye contact with me as she bit into it.
"Mmmm, this is amazing." I swallowed. Clearly, I hadn't thought Piper would be able to beat me at my own game. "Aren't you going to eat?"
I smiled wickedly at her, the ache between my legs becoming unbearable. Her brow furrowed as she read my face, and the lust that danced behind my eyes.
"Oh, I'm going to eat for sure." I said as I reached out for her, my arms wrapping around her waist as I pulled her up and off the stool. She giggled against me as I carried her back to the bedroom.
"What about the food?"
"That what microwaves are for." I said as I threw her onto the bed, and jumped on top of her. I leaned into kiss her, her hand on my chest stopping me.
"I guess this means you broke first." She whispers, her eyes searing into mine.
"Oh babe, we haven't even gotten started yet." I said before catching her lips in mine in passionate kiss.
