Do not own Orange Is The New Black or any of the characters.
Updates to all my other stories will be coming in the next coming days. And yes, I am well aware that Alex's mom name in the show is Diane, I do not need to be told. I long ago named her Suzanne and it has stuck with all my stories.
Enjoy.
The summer heat crept into Alex's small childhood bedroom.
She suppressed a yawn as she slowly rose from the bed. It took her a moment to remember where she was. She was having major dejay-vu like she always did when she slept here. Despite the years that had passed, the smells and feels of the old room brought her back to being sixteen again.
After shaking off the feeling that she was late for school, Alex shoved her glasses onto her face and got out of bed. It was barely past eight in the morning, but she was determined to get up. She'd lost a whole day yesterday. She was determined not to lose any more time.
She left the room, barely looking around at the old and fading posters on the walls and into the kitchen. Her stomach grumbled as if on cue. She was starving. She barely ate anything yesterday, except for when Red had come over and of course Piper. But that hadn't been food.
She smiled as last night's events flooded into her mind.
She began to hum happily to herself as she stepped into the kitchen which was flooded in sunlight and began to make a pot of coffee. Caffeine was much needed today. She was going to be needing plenty of it if she planned on getting more than a day's work done today.
After a quick breakfast of the leftovers from yesterday, Alex poured herself a second cup of coffee before heading into the living room. The room looked much different in the daylight than it did at night. It was still a cluttered mess, but in the light it seemed so much worse. In the morning light, you could see the dust more clearly.
Alex stood in the doorway, sipping her coffee and looking around the room. Her attention immediately fell onto the couch and her thought once again replayed what had happened there the night previously.
It had been a good night.
Taking another sip of the hot beverage, Alex took a step into the room. Her eyes once again took in her surroundings. She didn't know where to start. Other than the master bedroom, this was where Alex's mother had spent most of her time. It was where Alex had spent most of her childhood too. She used to sit on the couch, watching cartoons and movies rentals from Blockbusters.
The TV set now was much larger than the one Alex remembered growing up with, but it still sat in the same place. Other than the TV, which Alex had bought her mom a few years ago for Christmas, most of the furniture was the same. The couch and loveseat had once belonged to Alex's grandmother. There was an old record player in the far corner of the room beside an old fireplace, which had been Alex's moms when she was a teenager in the seventies.
Putting her mug down on the coffee table, she moved immediately over to the old record player which in any other setting would look hip and cool, especially nowadays when records were back in. Alex had hated the old record player growing up. She had been embarrassed by it ugly antiqueness and begged for her mother to replace it with a new up to date CD player. But mother like daughter, Suzanne Vause was a stubborn woman and wouldn't give up her records.
The record player sat on top of a cabinet which was filled with records. Alex ran a finger along the top of the player, removing a layer of dust. She stared at the clump of dust on her finger tip before brushing it against her pajama shorts and dropping to her knees. She then opened the cabinet and stared at the collection of records. There were probably close to 100 or so records there and she knew that somewhere in the house there was more lying around. The records weren't in any order or anything, they were just stacked on top of one another.
Chewing on her bottom lip, Alex pulled out a dozen or so records from the top of the pile and began to go through them. There was everything from The Beatles to classic rock to Motown in the mix. Suzanne loved her music.
Alex looked through it, before pulling out another dozen records. She then began to sort them into piles. Most she would donate, but some she would try to resell for a pretty penny. She didn't really want to keep any for herself, but she knew in her heart that some would be coming home with her, just like the old record player would probably too.
As she sorted through the collection, Alex couldn't help but play some of them. The first record she put on was on that she remembered her mom had played often. It was Joan Jett & The Blackhearts debut album, Bad Reputation from 1981. Lifting the glass cover of the player, she slid the record carefully out from the sleeve and put it on. She placed the needle down randomly, not caring what song played first.
A smile came upon Alex's face as the song Shout began to play. It had been a favourite of hers growing up. Alex remembered fondly dancing around the living room with her mom to the song.
Well, you know you make me wanna
(Shout) Throw my hand up
(Shout) Kick my heels back
(Shout) Throw my head back
(Shout) Come on now (Shout)
Don't forget to say you will
Usually, Alex pushed away old feels and memories. They brought too much hurt and heartache. But today, she welcomed the pain and joy as memories of her mom came flooding in.
"Good mornin'."
Piper smiled at her husband as she came into the kitchen. "Good mornin'.
"You're up early," she commented as she made her way over to the coffee machine and poured herself a cup. Considering what time Larry had come home last night from Pete's, she thought he would have slept in a bit longer.
"Yeah. I thought I would get a head start on some work," spoke Larry from his spot at the kitchen table. He smiled at Piper before taking a sip from his own coffee.
The couple was quiet for a few moments as they enjoyed their coffees. The tension from the other day was gone. Larry was over Piper coming home late and Piper was too.
"Pips," whispered Larry with concern as he looked at Piper's legs. "What happened to your knees?" His brown eyes filled with concern as he met Piper's eye.
"What?" asked Piper in confusion as she looked down at her knees. She stared at them blankly for a second before it dawned on her where the two large red marks on her knees had come from. Last night's events quickly filled her head as she remembered eating Alex out on the couch. The marks were a rug burn from how she pressed her knees hard into the carpet while tasting Alex. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she hoped Larry didn't notice.
"Oh. I'm not sure," she replied as she looked back at Larry. "It must've happened when I was gardening yesterday."
Larry was silent for a second as he continued to study her. For a moment, Piper thought he wouldn't believe her. However, his face soon broke out into a smile and nodded his head in reply, expecting this answer.
"You should be more careful next time," he spoke as he drained the rest of his coffee and stood up. "Maybe I should get you those foam knee pads that they sell at the garden centre," he joked as he came towards her.
"Yeah, maybe," laughed back Piper nervously.
She knew she had no reason to be nervous. Larry didn't expect anything, but she still couldn't stop the racing of her heart. She was lucky she hadn't come home with a hickey, she thought. She didn't know how she would explain that to her husband. Larry might not remember seeing rug burns on his wife's knees earlier in the day or not, but he would surely remember if he gave her a hickey.
Piper allowed Larry to kiss her softly on the lips before he went upstairs to his office.
Piper took a sip from her coffee and appeared down at the markings on her knees again. She would just have to be more careful next time, she thought. Oh yes, there was going to be a next time. Things with Alex were just getting good, she couldn't possibly break it off now.
This was just something that Piper needed to get out of her system, she thought.
It was later on in the day as Piper came into the bedroom to get her phone, which she had left to charge while she went for her daily run.
She rolled her neck as she unplugged the phone from its charger. She swiped at the screen, pushing in the lock code before the screen opened up to her contact list. Her brows fused together in confusion as she looked down at the screen. She didn't remember opening her contact list, but it soon dawned on her.
Alex.
Her phone had quickly died after coming home and she hadn't looked at her phone since Alex had given her phone number.
Despite already being hot in the face from her run, her cheeks flushed even further as she continued to look down at the name that Alex had given herself.
Taco Express.
She immediately looked over her shoulder as if Larry had suddenly come into the room, but he hadn't. He was still working away in his office, across the hall.
A sense of relief washed over her as she looked down at the screen on her phone, before she went to shut the bedroom door. She didn't usually shut the door from her husband. The lines of privacy between them had faded away long ago, however Piper was sure that Larry wouldn't approve of what she was about to do.
Piper, threw the phone onto the bed as she quickly began to undress. She took off her sweaty shirt and put into the hamper before pulling off her shorts.
Maybe she should take a shower first, thought Piper to herself as she smelt her armpit. No, she had to do this now, before she lost her momento to it or worse Larry came in. She pulled her hair out for it's ponytail and gave it a shake. She, next then grabbed her phone from the bed and went to stand in front of the full length mirror on the back of the closet. She stared at her sweaty appearance for a second. Her heart was beating nervously against her chest. It'd been a while since she'd sent a nude photo. In the early stages of dating Larry, she'd sent close up photos of her breast and other parts of her body, but never a full shot like she planned on doing for Alex.
Running a hand through her hair, trying to make it look more tousled and sexy, rather than messy and dirty looking, Piper took a deep breath.
She took a few shots, some with her bra and panties on and some with no bra and just panties. Piper felt foolish as she pushed out her ass and twisted her torso like the contestants on America's Next Top Model did. She pouted out her lips and gave her best sultry look to the mirror. She stood on her toes, putting one foot in front of the other, trying to somewhat cover the unattractive marks on her knees.
She continued to take pictures and try different poses for a few moments longer before satisfied with her work. She quickly scrolled through the pictures before finding one she was proud of. She quickly sent it off to Alex, before deleting the rest from her gallery. She didn't need Larry to find nude photos of herself on her phone.
Piper waited until the phone chimed that the photo had been sent, before tossing it once again onto the bed. She then made her way into the bathroom for that much needed shower.
The sun beamed down onto Alex's face as she lay out on the old patio chair.
She was only halfway through sorting out her mother's records. She had spent the whole morning and early afternoon listening to the music from her childhood, before needing to take a break.
She was enjoying the sun as she sat there in the black string bikini top and cut off shorts. She had a pair of sunglasses on her face, instead of her usual glasses. Her long hair was pushed back off her face and neck with a blue banana she had found lying around. She was half asleep as the summer heat washed over her.
However, Alex was quickly awoken from her slumber as her phone went off suddenly.
She immediately sat up in the chair, alert as she reached for the phone. She didn't recognize the number of the text message, but decided to read it anyways as she unlocked the screen. She inhaled a sharp breath as her eyebrows immediately shot up in surprise.
"Hello Piper," she whistled as she opened the text message and saw the photo that Piper had sent her.
This picture was a surprise, but a good surprise.
A sexy photo from Piper had been the last thing she'd been expecting when she gave Piper her number last night.
A grin spread across the brunette's face as she continued to study the sexy minx in the photo. Piper was fully nude except for a pair of red panties. She had one hand holding the phone while the other was in her hair. Her blue eyes were smoldering into the camera. Her cheeks were pink and flushed like she was hot and bothered by something. Her perky breasts were fully on display for Alex.
Wren usually sent Alex nude photos, but nothing as hot as this.
Alex licked her lips and undid the top button of her shorts. She debated if she should send Piper a pic back or ask for more. There had been no text sent along with the picture. She didn't know if Piper wanted to start a train of sexting or if she had just sent the picture to tease her. With Wren, Alex knew her intentions but she wasn't so sure with Piper.
Alex waited five more minutes, when nothing new came through, she took matters into her own hands. With phone in hand, she quickly stood up and made her way back into the house. She slid the phone into her back pocket as she took off the bandanna and shook out her hair. She threw the bandanna on the bed as she came into her bedroom and replaced her sunglasses with her normal glasses. She stood in the room, debating if she should take a picture here. But nothing in the room screamed sexy.
She retreated out and found herself back in the living room. Her eyes fell onto the couch and was reminded once again what had happened there last night.
A smile crept across her face as she stepped slowly into the room and took a seat on the couch, the same spot where Piper had eaten her out. She kept her shorts unbuttoned and removed the bikini top. She slid her glasses on top of her head as she took out the phone.
Alex leaned back against the couch, making sure to get it in frame as well as her bare chest. She wanted Piper to see where she was seated and remember how much fun last night had been. She smirked seductively into the camera as she took the selfie.
She took a few photos before selecting one and sending it to Piper.
Thanks for reading and please review!
