Someone had said they are a Nicorello shipper, well this chapter is all Nichols and Morello. I love them as well Nicky Morello and I like this chapter so I hope you guys do to. It shows more of Nicky's vulnerable side. Let me know what you think =) (For anyone who follows both stories hope you liked the other one as well)
Nicky Nichols
Nicky watched as Alex followed Piper out, scoffing playfully though Alex didn't respond. She shrugged it off, once again staring out at nothing, though she saw everything. Her mind faded into thoughts and concerns about Morello. Vause had been right. She loved Morello, but did Morello love her? Her mind was so lost she didn't even hear the footsteps approach her cubical though her thoughts shatter at Morello's excited hello.
"Hey Nichols! I made you something." Morello commented, her voice somewhat nervous and shaky though still excited.
"Yeah? What's the occasion?" She questioned, raising an eyebrow, a smile dancing across her lips.
"Just a friendly gesture." She remarked, fiddling with the paper in her hands. Nicky's excitement dropped slightly at the word friendly but she reached her hand out with a smile.
"Give it here, well." She chuckled. Morello stepped forward; her face flushed red as Nichols took the paper and flipped it in her hands. Nicky's heart stopped momentarily. She stared down at the picture so similar to the collage she had made for Morello for Christmas. She glanced up at Morello who looked more nervous than ever.
"I love it." Nichols remarked, fighting off the joyous tears the threatened to spill from her eyes. Morello's face lit up happily.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry too." She started, taking a seat beside Nichols. " I was kind of a… bitch to you… and I'm sorry I lied about Christopher." Morello remarked. Nichols glanced over at the guards, neither of which were watching or seemed even remotely interested in what was going on. When she was sure they were too engulfed in each other she leaned over and kissed Morello softly.
"Christopher doesn't know what he's missing." Nichols remarked with a smile. She knew she should apologize but her pride held her back. Morello's sweet eyes eventually broke the wall her pride had built.
"I wasn't exactly the nicest either so I… and sorry too." Nicky remarked, a little reluctantly, as she entwined her fingers with Morello's.
Lorna Morello
Morello's heart skipped a beat as Nichols meshed their hands together. She had missed Nichols despite the cold shoulder she had given her before the incident with Christopher. She never stopped wanted to be with Nichols, she just wanted to get married, wanted something to look forward to outside of these prison walls. She was thankful Nichols had been around when the incident took place, glad she had someone there.
"I thought when we get out we could go to the beach." Morello exclaimed, pointing to one of the pictures of the beach she had placed on the collage she had made.
"Sure. The beach is great." Nichols said softly with a half smile. Morello scooted back against the walls and drew her legs up to her chest. Nicky scooted back, brushing her shoulder against Morello's shoulder as she pulled Morello into her. Morello snuggled against Nichols, her eyes closing happily as her body relaxed, feeling safe and comfortable wrapped up in Nicky.
