"Freedom!"
Piper laughed at Lorna who was walking towards her with her hands lifted in the air. The short brunette was bouncing on the balls of her feet as she excitedly made her way across the busy campus quad. The university grounds were crawling with students who, like Piper and Lorna, had just handed in their end of semester assignments- meaning that for most it was finally, officially spring break.
"Feels good, right?" Piper beamed at her friend.
The pair had spent the majority of the last week locked away in the library, surrounded by empty coffee cups and open books. Piper's body had acclimatised to the lack of vitamin D and the increased amount of caffeine running through her veins on a daily basis. Surviving on a few hours of sleep a day was starting to catch up with the blonde, although the geek within of her had enjoyed the buzz of working all day and the sense of accomplishment that came after submitting a piece of work she was truly proud of. One thing that Piper had missed throughout the week was Alex, both her and Lorna had decided to block themselves from social interaction and had become social recluses over the past couple of days- only pausing their work to let Alex and Nicky know that they were still alive. The lack of contact had made Piper all the more excited to not only see Alex later that evening but to spend Spring Break with her and all of their friends.
"I'm so happy, and so ready to party!" Lorna exclaimed as she linked her arm with Piper's and pulled her friend closer. "I'm proud of us! I think we deserve some vodka."
"I agree, although I should really take it easy on the vodka front tonight. My mother is picking me up tomorrow, I have a perfect daughter reputation to uphold" Piper smirked.
"Urgh, sounds truly boring" Lorna winked at her friend as they continued to weave their way through the campus grounds.
"Tell me about it, can you imagine Carol's reaction if she knew that I'd actually spent the whole of my college career falling in love with my soccer playing, out of this world girlfriend?" Piper laughed.
"Ok so I'm going to ignore the fact that you just referred to Alex with the world 'love'", Lorna pushed her friend playfully on the shoulder.
"Shit, speaking of Alex- we should probably message the girls before Bennett goes all sergeant major and confiscates their phones again!"
Lorna mumbled in agreement as she removed her arm from Piper's so she could retrieve her phone. The soccer girls had their semi-final that evening, the biggest game of the season so far, coincidentally organised on the day that every student in Litchfield was up for a party- no pressure. Piper knew that Alex felt the pressure more than the rest of the team, she took every Litchfield result personally- especially the results in this competition. Piper had heard from Alex herself and the rest of the team how badly she had taken the result the previous year- the Sylvie story was proof of that. Piper's heart sunk slightly at the thought of Alex having to go through something like that again. Piper had faith in her though, Alex was the best soccer player that Piper knew- if that counted for anything. Piper laughed at her own thoughts before tapping out a message to Alex.
Piper: Good luck tonight gorgeous, super excited to see you later x
Lorna chuckled at her phone as Piper slid hers back in her pocket. The blonde glanced over at her friend and shook her head.
"I'm not even going to ask," she laughed.
Lorna snorted slightly as she hid her phone from sight, "I wouldn't if I were you."
The girls continued onto their dorm where a party already seemed to be underway- despite the fact it was only early afternoon. Loud music was playing from a Bluetooth speaker that was set up in the hallway and all of the doors were open. As the girls shut the door behind them Brooke appeared in the corridor with half of her hair in rollers. She was wearing a pair of denim shorts and an orange crop top that showed a hint of her tanned stomach.
"You're back!" she shouted, slurring her obvious statement slightly.
Lorna laughed as Brooke stumbled out of her doorway. "Jesus, you're smashed and you still manage to do your eye liner better than me- you bitch!"
"Only because I've heard that there are still some members of the soccer team that haven't been snapped up" she smirked.
Piper laughed, whilst Lorna looked at Brooke quizzically- the obvious question lining her lips.
"Hey what can I say, I like people- not genders," Brooke shrugged and smiled innocently.
The news that Alex and Piper were officially an item was still finding its way across campus although the pair were no longer keeping their affection for one another a secret. Piper felt as though she was finally content with herself, she felt as though she had found the place where she belonged. She was still faced with the hurdle of telling her parents but that was a problem for another day- today was about celebrating another semester being over and cheering on her girl.
"Now get changed, it's time to get in the party mood!" Brooke cheered as she disappeared back into her room, singing along loudly to the song that had started to blare from the speaker.
"Have you ever felt more sober?" Lorna asked jokily, raising her voice to shout over Brooke's loud singing.
Piper chuckled to herself as she set about sprucing herself up in her room. She applied a generous amount of make up on her face to hide all of the signs of her stressful week. Piper flicked through the array of Litchfield merchandise she had collected over the year so far and settled on a long sleeved black top with Litchfield emblazed across the front in orange writing. As the blonde was pulling on a pair of black shorts her pile of clothes vibrated on the bed, she dug through them to reveal her phone and sighed happily as she saw Alex's name.
Alex: Thanks baby, congrats on handing the assignment in. I can't wait to see you. X
Piper smiled at her phone, she was sure that she'd smiled more in the past few months than she'd ever smiled in her life. It was impossible to describe how Alex made her feel, she was beyond excited to be able to spend time with her over spring break.
"Piper, can you help me with this please?" Lorna had entered the room and was holding a palette of face paint. She smirked as she saw the look on Piper's face, her friend had been on a high since Alex had asked her out. Lorna had found it endearing when Alex had asked her for advice on how to ask Piper to be her girlfriend, she had seemed so vulnerable- so unlike Alex Vause. That was the first time that Lorna knew, truly knew that Alex was in love with Piper- despite her refusal to admit it.
Piper finished tying her hair up and spun around to smile at her friend.
"Sure", she took the palette off Lorna and looked down at the blocks of orange, black and white paint. She ran her fingers along the black paint and marked Lorna's cheek bones in tribal style stripes. Lorna took the palette back and reciprocated the action on Piper. They laughed in the mirror and took an obligatory pre game selfie.
"Right, let's get a drink. I feel more nervous than the girls probably do!" Lorna smiled.
"Thank god, I thought I was the only one," Piper laughed as she checked herself in the mirror one last time.
"Who would have thought college would have turned us into soccer loving…"
"Lesbians, you ready to partyyyy!" Brooke burst into the room with a bottle of tequila, the girls erupted in laughter at her perfect timing and followed her out of the room.
The girls sat down with their backs against the wall of the corridor, Piper placed her phone on the floor and discreetly checked the time as she did so- 1:40pm, just over an hour until kick off. Lorna caught Piper's eye and smiled reassuringly- the brunette knew what Piper was thinking. She was sure that the girls would be fine, they'd had a near perfect season but had piled pressure on themselves for this game.
"Brooke, I actually meant to ask you- how come you don't cheerlead at the games anymore?" Lorna asked inquisitively as she took a sip of the concoction in her cup.
"Urgh, I quit. They weren't a nice group of girls… I don't want to be associated with that. I mean, Polly is alright… but some of the other girls are… just mean. I should apologise really, for just kind of abandoning you guys this semester… that wasn't cool. I guess I got sucked into Polly's side of what happened," Brooke said as she directed the last part of her statement at Piper.
Piper shook her head and smiled at Brooke; "Don't be silly, there were no sides to take."
….
Diane: Have a great game babe.
Alex smiled at her phone and had just finished tapping out her reply when Bennett entered the changing room.
"Right ladies, time to focus- all phones in please!" he yelled as he placed a yellow bucket on the floor in the centre of the changing room. One by one the girls left their seats and placed their phones in the bucket, when he was sure that every phone was safe he placed a lid on the bucket and carried it out of the room.
The team had just finished up their pre-match warmup- the stadium was empty but for the volunteer security staff that had started to line the pitch. Bennett had demanded that no one be allowed into the stands until his team had finished up their warm up- it allowed the girls to focus in on the task at hand without getting distracted. The vibe amongst the team was positive although Alex had to work hard on her mind to ensure that it remained that way. She'd done a lot of work over the past couple of days enforcing a positive mind-set, she wasn't going to let any psychological blocks get in the way of the team's success today.
Alex pulled her training shirt over her head and replaced it with her orange match shirt. Watson was already dressed for the match and was frantically doing push ups in the centre of the changing room- a tell-tale sign that she felt the nerves.
"Save some energy for the match, Watson," Nicky grinned. She picked up the captains band from Alex's pile of clothing and used both hands to stretch the band wide enough so that Alex could slide her arm through the hole.
"Thanks Nick, she's right Watson- let's relax OK?" Alex said calmly.
Janae stood up from the floor and sat back down in her space. "Can we at least put some music on or something, the silence in here is sending me loopy!"
"Sure," Alex said, standing up and making sure that the iPod in the docking station was correctly set up. "In fact, I made a motivational playlist that I want you all to listen to. Now you might think this is cheesy…"
"Jesus Vause, first you get a girlfriend and now you make playlists" Poussey teased, the rest of the girls relaxed instantly at a sign of humour and laughed at her remark.
After a few seconds Alex joined in, "Ok, Ok, laugh all you want- but seriously when you listen to any of these songs just close your eyes and picture what you want to achieve on the pitch today." She bent down slightly as she scrolled through the songs, sighing triumphantly as she found the one she'd been looking for. As the introduction started she switched the volume to maximum to block out the sounds of the crowd beginning to filter into the stands above them.
I am a mountain, I am a tall tree, I am a swift wind sweeping the country
Alex took a seat and closed her eyes as the words enveloped her. She breathed in every word, every syllable, the music making her heart beat with excitement to get onto the pitch and show the world what she could do. Adrenaline surged through Alex's body as her foot tapped along with the music, she had blocked out everything else in the world in that moment- all that mattered was the people in that room with her and the greatness they were going to achieve in the next few hours.
Yeah I made it, I'm the world's greatest.
As the song faded to a close, Alex heard the girls jump up- their studs scraping the concrete of the changing room floor. Watson cheered and Nicky smacked Alex had the back bringing her out of her trance and causing her to open her eyes.
….
Piper, Lorna and Brooke walked the short distance from their dorm to the soccer stadium- they had got distracted with a game of ring of fire and so were amongst some of the last students to enter the venue. Piper glanced up to the roof of the stadium and chuckled to herself, if only Lorna and Brooke knew of the moments that she had cherished on that very roof.
Lorna led the way through the turnstiles, elegantly twisting through the bars to avoid getting caught- something Brooke still hadn't got the hang of yet, much to Piper's amusement. The girls steadied Brooke and guided her along the concrete walkway of the stadium that led to the pitch and main stands. As they emerged into the warm air again the full volume of the stadium hit them, the familiar drums of the University band were playing and students were chanting loudly. Piper put her arm out to stop the girls as she surveyed the area for seats for them all.
"Blondie!"
Piper turned and grinned at Boo who was carrying two plastic cups. She was wearing khaki cargo shorts and a large white Litchfield t-shirt.
"I hear congratulations are in order?" Boo said as she winked at Piper. "I still can't believe I played a part in one of Litchfield's greatest love stories."
"How will I ever repay the favour?" Piper teased back.
"Oh I could think of a few ways," Boo smirked at Piper before winking at Lorna. "I'm sure I could share the love just for you Morello."
"And I was starting to feel left out," Lorna laughed.
Brooke swayed awkwardly as she watched the exchange between the three girls. Piper spotted her uncomfortable expression and felt a sudden pang of pity for her; "Boo, this is Brooke- she stays in the same dorm as us."
Boo turned her attention to Brooke, as though only just seeing her for the first time. She blatantly scanned Brooke from head to toe and nodded in approval, "Fresh meat, eh?"
Brooke looked worried before Boo broke apart with laughter, "Only joking kid, nice to meet you. Now, fancy joining us down the front? Our boy Sammy has hooked us up with some great seats again."
The girls agreed to join Boo who was watching the game with her friend Tiffany, a petite girl from Virginia. Their seats were three rows back from the edge of the pitch and were located just to the side of one of the goals. Piper loved watching Alex play, that being said the more she grew to like Alex the more difficult it became to watch her play- it felt like there was more at stake for Alex with every match.
At five minutes to three the band stopped playing causing the chanting to subside. The stadium became filled with an abrupt silence until the announcer welcomed the teams onto the pitch. Piper's heart swelled with pride as she saw Alex leading out the team, she looked focused- a look that was mirrored by the rest of the Litchfield players. The teams politely shook hands before setting up on the pitch ready to play. Piper watched as Alex placed her hands on her hips and tilted her head back to the sky- a ritual she'd observed Alex do at every match. As the referee blew the whistle for the match to start Lorna clutched Piper's hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
Litchfield were playing a team called Cromwell who were physically larger than most of the Litchfield girls, the first half mainly consisted of the orange players being pushed around the field- much to the disliking of Bennett who could be heard shouting abuse at the referee from the touch line. It was obvious that Litchfield's game plan didn't take into account the size and physicality of the Cromwell team- something that both surprised and frustrated Piper. The Litchfield girls were taking a while to get a feel of the game and had hardly had an attack on the opposition goal when the whistle for the end of the half rang out.
Upon the sound of the whistle Piper sat down in her seat, exhausted from the constant worry that Alex would have her legs broken by one of the larger girls.
"Someone's going to snap in the second half man, mark my words" Boo pointed out, slumping into a chair next to Piper.
"Too right," Tiffany replied. "Ain't no way they're gunna' get pushed around for another half and not do anything in return."
….
"Fucking arseholes," Poussey muttered as the physio squirted water into a deep cut on her shin that had been caused by one of the opposition kicking her. "We need to do something Bennett, they're battering us out there."
"Yeah Bennett, I think they got their fixtures confused and sent out their fucking mixed martial arts team," Watson added, rubbing her slightly swollen knee.
Bennett removed his cap and scratched his head. "I agree girls, they don't know how to beat us so they've decided to literally beat us- it's a weak tactic but it's working. We haven't been able to execute any of our game plan. I'm going to have a word with the ref before the second half begins and tell him to look out for the violence, if that doesn't work then you're just going to have to adapt out there." Bennett placed his cap back on his head and left the changing rooms.
"Well… that was a fucking diabolical explanation of how we should win the match" Nicky muttered.
The morale in the dressing room was significantly lower than when the girls had left it for the first half. Alex could feel that any hopes of reaching the final for a second year in a row were slowly fading. She was disappointed that Bennett hadn't given them a better game plan for the second half, they needed to think of a solution and fast. Alex stood up and clapped her hands, demanding attention from the whole team.
"Right, listen in! These girls are shit players, agreed? Their large and aggressive but they're shit." The girls nodded in agreement. "So, they seem to be pushing into the back of us, kicking us when we have the ball and holding onto us as we run in behind. So I want us to be patient, when we get the ball no matter where we are on the pitch we need to pass it around- no rushing for long balls into the box we need to play the long game. If nobody can get free in front we move backwards- when they start to tire and they will tire, we pounce OK?"
The girls nodded in agreement, their spirits seemingly lifted slightly. "One more thing, we don't stoop to their level- they want us to flip out and get sent off and we're not going to do that, understood?"
As the team filed out of the changing room Nicky pulled Alex aside. "You really think this will work Vause?"
Alex nodded confidently, "We need to lead by example, don't forget there will be scouts here plus… our girls are watching," she winked.
The girls implemented Alex's plan in the second half, they patiently passed the ball between them- visibly frustrating the other team. The Litchfield crowd cheered every time that the ball found a player dressed in orange. Alex hated playing this way, she disliked having to stay on the back foot but knew that it was needed in order for the girls to win. The Cromwell team were starting to tire just as Alex had predicted and were starting to give the Litchfield team more room to pass the ball around. As the ball trundled out for a corner kick Alex put her fingers to her lips and whistled for the girls to gather round.
"Change in game plan," Alex panted. "We need to attack them now, Nick- I want you to take on as many players on as you can… we only have… 10 minutes left- time to use our pace and skill."
Nicky pumped the air with her fist, "Yes, time to actually player some soccer girls!"
….
Piper didn't know what Alex had said to the girls, but whatever it was had worked- they were like a completely different team. After a patient, almost boring, game the crowd were suddenly invested again and had begun to cheer loudly. Nicky picked up the ball on the half way line and weaved in and out of defenders, she dodged a hefty looking tackle and passed the ball to Alex who continued the run into the box. Piper jumped up and down as Alex rode another tackle and looked up, squaring the ball to Nicky who slotted the ball calmly into the back of the net. The crowd erupted and Boo threw her drink in the air as she ran down to the edge of the pitch to celebrate. Nicky ran towards Boo and jumped into her arms, closely followed by the rest of the team. Piper and Lorna hugged in relief as the announcer shouted Nicky's name and the score over the sound system.
"She'll be so happy!" Lorna shouted.
Piper nodded and watched adoringly as Alex pulled Nicky into a hug and ruffled her hair affectionately.
.….
"Did you see my goal?" Nicky shouted as she ran towards the stand where Lorna was stood. The small brunette was bouncing up and down excitedly and held her arms out to Nicky as she approached.
The stadium was empty now but for Lorna, Piper, Brooke, Boo and Tiffany who had stayed behind. Alex and Nicky had encouraged the team to change quickly so they could all leave the stadium together, after a week of sporadic contact they were excited to finally be reunited with their girlfriends.
As the team followed Nicky across the pitch Alex sped ahead and walked towards Piper who was beaming in her direction- her head was cocked to one side cutely and her face was a mixture of pride and admiration.
"Is seeing me all sweaty doing it for ya' babe?" Alex smirked.
"More than you'll ever know."
Alex kissed Piper on the cheek and pulled her into a tight hug, she happily lent back so that Piper's feet left the floor. The blonde squealed before smiling into Alex's hair.
"I'm so proud of you Al," she whispered as Alex swayed her side to side.
Alex lowered Piper so that her feet were in contact with the ground and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Her stomach still swooped with butterflies every time they made contact, Alex wondered how long her body would continue to react in that way- she hoped it would never stop. She kept one hand on Piper's waist and turned to face the rest of the group.
Boo was standing with her hands on her hips, a smug look on her face. "I come all the way out here to watch you and you don't even say hi? I thought what we had was worth more than that, Vause?"
Alex laughed and let go of Piper to give Boo a hug, "Congrats, man" the large girl whispered in her friend's ear. As they withdrew from their hug Boo pointed to her petite friend who was stood a few feet away from Alex as though scared to be in her presence- "You remember Tiffany?"
"Sure, Doggett right?" Alex smiled at Tiffany, whose face softened as she nodded.
"And it's Brooke isn't it? The cheerleader? I think we met at the coffee shop at the start of the year?" Alex said turning her attention to Brooke who was observing the pleasantries. She had sobered dramatically since the start of the match and nodded timidly in response. Alex smiled reassuringly and introduced Brooke to the rest of the team. Piper's heart swelled with more admiration for Alex- she clasped onto Alex's arm not wanting to be apart from her again.
"As much as I'm enjoying making friends and all, who's up for pizza back at our place?" Nicky asked, her lips were slightly swollen from the kissing and she'd managed to get most of Lorna's face paint on her chin.
"Sure thing," Poussey said. "Although you might want to wash your face first bro."
The group erupted into laughter as Nicky squirmed, trying desperately to avoid Lorna who had licked her thumb and was trying to scrub the paint off Nicky's chin. Alex smiled down at Piper whose face was screwed up with laughter, Alex loved the way her nose crinkled when she laughed. She placed her hand on top of Piper's and intertwined their finger's stroking Piper's index finger with her thumb as she did so. Piper broke her eyes away from the crowd and looked up at her girlfriend- she had never been so happy.
….
"So Nicholls, what's the plan for next week?" Poussey asked as she stuffed another slice of pizza into her mouth.
"Well, Lorna and I are going there tomorrow- you guys are welcome to join us whenever you want. Although it would be nice to have a couple of days on our own before you all arrive to spoil our party" Nicky smirked as she winked at her girlfriend. The group collectively decided that they would leave the girls alone for the weekend before joining them at the Lakehouse at the start of the week.
"I don't know about you guys but I just can't stop thinking about the game. I can't wait to smash those Bartford bitches!" Watson cheered.
"Oh shit, you guys drew Bartford? No fucking way!" Boo responded, laughing loudly.
Alex sighed deeply, her heart rate increased rapidly as she prepared herself for what was to come next.
"Vause, didn't you fuck someone from that team?"
That was it, the blow that Alex had been waiting for. The group went silent and glanced awkwardly at one another. Alex smiled sarcastically at Boo and tried to play it cool- it was evitable that Sylvie was going to get brought up again, Alex was just glad that she'd told Piper in advance. Boo looked around the room in a panic, realising that she'd said something she shouldn't have. Nicky's eyes widened Alex glanced across at Piper to check her reaction, the blonde made eye contact and smiled back at her girlfriend.
"Why have a burger when you have steak at home, right?" Piper shrugged innocently.
After a few more seconds of awkward silence, the group erupted into loud laughter.
"You've got a keeper there, Vause!" Nicky laughed, leaning across to high five Piper. Piper joined in with the laughter and slapped her hand against Nicky's.
Piper glanced across at her girlfriend who was looking at her with eyes full of admiration. Alex placed her hand on Piper's thigh, noticing immediately the effect she was having on the blonde's body- goose bumps begun to rise on her skin and she shivered slightly at Alex's touch. Piper's heart was beating in anticipation as she held Alex's gaze, watching intently as her emerald eyes turned from full of admiration to full of lust and desire. The blonde felt as though every nerve in her body was on high alert as she anticipated what Alex's next move would be. Alex continued to gently stroke Piper's bare thigh with the tips of her fingers, she traced them slightly higher up Piper's leg and let her hand rest there for a while. Piper could feel her breathing quickening, all she wanted was to have Alex to herself- she tried to occupy herself with the group's conversation but the placement of Alex's hand was causing her insides to burn with desire.
"Jesus Vause, take her upstairs before she combusts" Nicky whispered. Alex raised her eyebrow at her friend before looking back at Piper, it was blatantly obvious that the blonde was not paying attention to what was happening around her. Her lip was sexily caught between her teeth and her pupils were dilated making her eyes appear dark. Alex groaned inwardly at the site of her.
Nicky shook her head and laughed before standing up. "Sorry to be a party pooper guys but we have a long journey tomorrow," she said as she hyperbolically yawned and stretched out.
"Yeah I should probably get going," Brooke said as she joined Nicky standing up. "Thanks for having me."
"Here, let me walk you home?" Poussey chirped, jumping up enthusiastically. Boo wolf whistled at the pair as she too stood up and said her goodbyes, Poussey jabbed her in the ribs jovially before opening the door and heading out into the night with Brooke.
"Ready to go upstairs, Pipes?" Alex asked the blonde next to her, who was still zoned out.
"Wh… what? Upstairs?" Piper stammered, releasing her lips from between her teeth and looking up innocently at Alex.
Alex laughed and held her hand out for to the blonde, who accepted and allowed herself to be led up the stairs. Alex loved watching how Piper was battling with her instincts, she had never seen her girlfriend so turned on before- what was more satisfying was how little Alex had had to do to illicit the reaction. Alex shut the bedroom door behind them and watched as Piper paused in the middle of the room before suddenly turning to Alex.
"Mind if I take a shower?" she asked.
"Umm.. y…yeah, sure", Alex was surprised that Piper would want to shower after finally getting her alone but she fetched the blonde a fresh towel regardless. Piper thanked her girlfriend and kissed her softly on the cheek before heading into Alex's bathroom. Alex sat on the edge of her bed, unsure what to do with herself, when she looked up and realised that Piper had left the door of the ensuite slightly open. Alex could hear the water running, her imagination stared to whir into action as she pictured the blonde naked and wet only a few feet away. Alex shook her head.
Have some dignity, Vause
Alex thought back to the look on Piper's face downstairs, the way that her teeth had captured her lip. She imagined doing the very same thing to those lips, being able to see up close the effect that it would have on Piper.
Fuck it
Alex stood up from the bed and made her way towards the bathroom, she pushed open the door slowly- feeling the heat and the moisture from the shower hit her. Piper was already inside of the shower and was facing the door when Alex entered.
"What took you so long?" Piper trawled as she raised her eyebrow sexily.
Right decision, Vause.
Alex maintained eye contact with the blonde through the glass door as she slowly peeled off her layers of clothing. Piper was watching intently, following Alex's every move eagerly. When Alex unfastened her bra and let it fall to the floor Piper stared at her chest, her blue eyes darkening once more. Alex slid open the glass door of the shower and took a step inside, the shower wasn't huge however it could comfortably fit both of the girls inside.
Within a millisecond on being within touching distance of one another Alex had grabbed Piper's face and led her body back towards the cold tiles. Piper's gasp was swallowed by Alex who was passionately exploring Piper's mouth with her own. The warm water was spraying directly onto Alex's head, causing her dark hair to cling to the side of her face and her neck. Alex moved her hands from Piper's face down to the rest of her body, it was obvious that Piper had already used soap as her skin was soft and slippery. Alex continued to kiss Piper as she ran her fingers down the side of her body, stopping to rest on her waist. Piper groaned and writhed against the wall, her impatience becoming obvious. Alex decided to take control and pinned Piper's arms above her head, the blonde moaned out loudly once again- Alex let Piper call out as she attacked her neck with her mouth, sucking and gently biting the soft skin.
"I feel… uhhh… like I've waited so long for this" Piper whimpered into Alex's ear.
"I hope I can make it worth the wait" Alex whispered back, gently nibbling Piper's ear causing the blonde to buck her hips into her girlfriend. Alex took a tiny step back and admired the sight in front of her, Piper's arms were still held above her head and her long hair was dripping with warm water that was still spraying down between the pair.
Alex released Piper's arms and placed her hands back on Piper's face as she crashed their lips together once more. Piper's hands automatically found their way to Alex's hair, drawing her further into the kiss. Alex could feel Piper's hips desperately trying to find some sort of friction, she lifted her right leg up slightly- giving Piper the friction she needed. The blonde tilted her head back against the tiles and arched her back as she rubbed herself against Alex's leg. Alex couldn't contain herself anymore, she removed her thigh from Piper's centre and replaced it with her hand. Alex watched as Piper's mouth fell open as her clit was circled by Alex's fingers. Piper was desperately searching for something to grab onto as Alex rhythmically rubbed her centre. Piper settled for holding onto Alex's back as the dark haired girl continued to bring her closer to the edge. Alex ran her fingers through Piper's folds, just about making out that the wetness in that area was largely due to something other than shower water. As Piper lent back from the sensation Alex thrust two fingers inside of her, causing Piper to scream out loudly. She continued the routine on Piper's centre until she could feel her walls trembling around her fingers. Piper pushed her body closer to Alex, as though trying to prolong her imminent orgasm, Alex could tell that she was trying to hold it off for as long as possible. As Alex started to kiss her neck again Piper toppled over the edge shouting out variations of Alex's name.
Alex held her under the spray of the warm water as her body recovered from its high. Piper let her body weight be held by her girlfriend until she felt strong enough to stand alone.
"That was definitely worth the wait," Piper whispered sleepily.
Alex smiled at her girlfriend and kissed her softly on the lips. She switched the water off and opened the shower door, leaning out for Piper's towel and wrapping her in it. Piper's eyes were drooping and she looked completely spent, so much so that she allowed herself to be dressed by Alex who tucked her into bed and lay a loving kiss to her forehead before getting herself dry and ready for bed. When Alex climbed under the duvet Piper rolled over and draped her arm across Alex's stomach, she instinctively placed her arm around the blonde before smiling softly and drifting into a deep sleep.
A/N: Hey everyone, I've been very busy these past couple of weeks so apologies for the silence- I actually got a promotion at work which has been keeping me very busy! My original plan was to post the next 2/3 chapters as one but I felt it would be too much, this chapter will lead onto some Chapman home time and then Spring break! Really excited to write that chapter. Please let me know what you think, this is sort of a filler chapter so it may be a bit dull- hopefully when the others come up the purpose of this one will be understood. C x
