CHAPTER EIGHT: Softball
PIPER POV
Piper could feel Alex's warm body underneath hers. Her body was soft with her feminism, and yet whenever Alex shifted, Piper could feel how her muscles flexed underneath her showing she was not at all lacking in strenght.
When Nicky returned, the blonde couldn't help but feel nervous. What if she coughed? What if she embarrassed herself?
Alex could feel how Piper had tensed and whispered in her ear reassuringly, "You don't have to do this if you don't want to Pipes."
Piper shook her head adamantly, she wanted to do this. In all honesty, it was something she'd been wanting to try. She had just never had the opportunity to do it with someone she trusts. She trusts Alex. She trusts her to make sure she's okay and not judge her no matter how high she gets.
"It's okay, Al. I want this." Piper whispered back. By this point, Nicky had already rolled a joint. She lit the roll and brought it to her lips to take a long drag. She then passed it to Alex who handled it deftly in her capable long fingers as she graceful brought it to her perfect lips.
After she had taken a hit herself, Alex passed it to Piper who held it clumsily between two fingers.
"Ok, now all you have to do is bring it to your lips, breathe it in, and try to hold it in without coughing." Alex instructed gently.
Piper did as instructed and breathed in the smoke. She struggled for a few seconds to hold it in and then couldn't help but erupt in coughs.
"You make it look so easy!" she croaked in between coughs.
"Stretch and I have had a bit of practice." Nicky said as she eyed Alex.
"Don't worry, babe." Alex soothed. "You'll get used to it."
Piper did get used to it, and as soon as they all started to feel the high, except for Lorna who didn't like to use anything, they continued their game of truth or dare.
The bottle spun and landed with Lorna giving an ultimatum to Piper.
"Truth or Dare?" Lorna said excitedly.
"Truth." Piper answered breathily as she felt Alex rest her hand nonchalantly on her thigh. That would sure be a distraction.
"Are you a virgin?" Lorna asked as she and Nicky looked at each other showing signs of a collaboration.
Even though she was high, Piper couldn't help but blush as she answered with a quiet, "No." Her eyes automatically looked to Alex to see her reaction. She was surprised to see Alex smirking. "Apparently you're not such an angel, Pipes." She said breathily into Piper's ear causing the blonde to blush further.
"Have you ever been with the softball team?" Nicky questioned eagerly.
Piper frowned, "Only ONE question."
As all of her friends seemed to overcome their initial surprise, Piper decided to again spin the bottle.
Piper groaned when the bottle came to Alex asking Piper. The look of victory already covered Alex's face before she had even asked the question. This was surely the revenge for the earlier question.
"Have you ever been with a girl Piper Chapman?" she said as she raised an eyebrow suggestively.
"How far do you mean exactly?" Piper answered shyly.
"Let me clarify. Have you ever gone down on a woman before?" the brunette said as her hand's grip slightly tightened where it laid on Piper's thigh.
Piper blushed partly because of the question and partly because of how Alex's barely present touch could do things to her.
"No. I haven't." she said as she raised her head to maintain some dignity.
Alex only scoffed, "What type of lesbian are you?"
Piper couldn't help but giggle as the high seemed to be in full affect and at how ridiculous Alex's words had just sounded.
She eventually just smiled as she leaned a bit more to into Alex's soft chest, "The boob-touching kind."
Nicky laughed heartily and accidently knocked over her beer. Alex only chuckled and held Piper a bit closer.
After Nicky had settled down, her eyebrows shot up at an idea that had popped into mind.
An evil grin spread across her face, "How about we raise the stakes a little?" she questioned.
Everyone seemed up for it even though they had yet to know what the stakes were.
"Instead of truth or dare, we're going to be playing truth or strip. If you don't want to answer the question, you have to take off one piece of clothing."
ALEX POV
She looked at the beauty sitting in her lap as her incentive to come up with some good questions had just tripled.
Piper seemed just as happy. The blonde turned her head as her blue eyes came into view. A playful smile was spread across her face as she winked and then turned back around.
"This time we'll be going in a circle instead of using the bottle. It takes too damn long to stop." Nicky clarified. "Alright, you go first Vause."
Alex turned to Piper as she began to think of what she could possibly ask Piper. She needs to ask a question that Piper can't answer. What always leaves her flustered? Alex thought.
I do. She realized as she remembered how often her mere stare and smile had caused Piper to stumble on her words.
Recounting how Piper had blushed earlier as they discussed their dreams, she knew just what to ask.
"Have you ever had a wet dream about me?" Alex asked as she stared deeply into Piper's eyes. The startingly blue eyes slightly dilated before they came out of view because Piper had ducked her head to hide a blush.
"Fine." She muttered indignantly as she stood to take off her shoes, and then her socks.
Nicky chuckled, "You're always surprising me Blondie!"
Piper just mumbled incoherently and sat down next to Alex instead of on top of her. She gave Alex a playful glare to show that she had done that to punish her.
Alex just made a playful pouty face and then sighed. Although she was being dramatic, she already missed Piper being so close.
Soon it was Lorna's turn to ask a question. "Do you like me?" she asked Nicky with a bit of vulnerability visible in her eyes.
Alex watched in disbelief as she saw Nicky's walls fall to the ground as if they hadn't stood strong for years.
"I sure do." She said trying to seem confident but failing miserably.
"Good." Lorna said said enthusiastically, "Because I like you too."
Nicky smiled widely as looked at Lorna for a moment and then kissed her passionately.
After Alex had gotten over the shock of what she had just seen, she cleared her throat and began "Maybe you two should…"
"Go get a room!" Piper finished her sentence still seeming a bit shocked. Even more surprisingly, Lorna and Nicky began to get up without breaking their kiss, and headed towards Nicky's bedroom.
Alex and Piper sat in shock and then mortification as they realized their friends would probably be having sex somewhere nearby. Once the surprise wore off Alex turned and spoke to Piper.
"Guess we'll just have to play without them." She said in mock disappointment, because really, her friend had done her a favor without meaning to.
