Alex, Piper, and Diane share a wonderful breakfast and some great conversation. Diane has Piper laughing hysterically telling some 'teenage Alex' stories. Like the time when she and Nicky got drunk when they were fifteen and thought it would be funny to moon people from the living room window. Or when they were sixteen and smoked pot then ordered five pizzas because they got the munchies. Alex's cheeks turn pink and she shakes her head.

"Alex was a pretty good kid though and didn't get into a lot of trouble." Diane explains. "I had suspected that Alex was gay since she was around thirteen, I mean when other girls her age had posters of Orlando Bloom and Justin Timberlake plastered all over their walls, Alex had posters of Cate Blanchett!"

Piper giggles because she is having fun teasing Alex, "She is totally hot though!"

Diane continues, "I tried to get her to open up and talk to me about it by assuring her that I wouldn't love her any less if she were gay, but she always avoided the topic. Well one day when Alex was sixteen, I came home early from work and finally got the confirmation from Alex. Let's just say I got an eyeful of Alex and a red head I recognized from her high school!"

Piper covers her mouth with her hand and laughs glancing sideways at Alex.

"Okay Mom, I think she gets the picture!" Alex chuckles and her face has changed to an even deeper shade of red. The three women chat for another hour or so about anything and everything.

Alex and Piper leave the diner at around 2:00 after giving Diane a hug and wishing her a happy new year. "I had a great time with you and your mom today—she's amazing and so loving and accepting…" Piper says softly.

"Yeah she is pretty great! You know Pipes, she really meant what she said back there…you can call her anytime you want, she's been like a second mother to Nicky all these years."

"Al?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Hearing about you and Nicky during your teenage years has me wondering…Did you and Nicky ever…you know?"

Alex smiles and grabs Piper's hand, "We kissed a few times when we were like fourteen or fifteen, but it never went further than that. We decided we were much better as friends than something more."

Piper breathes a sigh of relief and then asks, "How are things going between Nicky and Lorna?"

"Nicky will never admit this, but I think she has it bad for Ms. Morello! They are both scheduled to work tonight so you will see them both at the bar tonight."

Alex drops Piper off at her place at around 3:00. Alex has some work to do and Piper and Polly have plans for some wedding planning before the New Year's celebrations begin.

Piper leans over and gives Alex a kiss on the lips, "I'll see you tonight at around 8:00 or so? I'm bringing Polly and her fiancé Pete with me, is that okay?"

"Of course Pipes, the more the merrier right? See you later—and Pipes?"

"Yeah?"

"Wear something hot," Alex says with a wink and drives off.

Alex is in her office at Three Doors Down later that night changing into her attire for the evening. She knows she looks hot in the black and gold sequined, long sleeved, v neck dress. The v neck shows off her breasts while the dress extends to mid-thigh drawing attention to her long slender legs. She dabs some perfume behind her ears and on her pulse points and double checks her eye liner and lipstick, which is perfect as usual, and heads out front.

Alex's entire staff is working tonight because they are expecting a large New Year's Eve crowd, but she decides to help out behind the bar for a while. Alex is mixing a Jack and Coke and talking to Nicky, "Hey Nick, can you run in back and get a couple more bottles of Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan? We are running low and I'm sure we will need them judging by this crow-HOLY FUCK!" Alex breaks off. Nicky laughs when she sees what, or rather who, has taken Alex's attentions so suddenly.

"Hey Vause, you might want to stop eye fucking Blondie and pay attention to what you're doing with that Coke, the cup is over flowing!"

"Oh shit!" Alex curses and begins to clean up the mess she made, but her attention is still on Piper who has just walked in with Polly and Pete.

Piper is absolutely stunning and Alex can't help but stare. She is wearing a silver, backless long sleeved dress that reaches to just above mid-thigh and a pair of strappy sliver heels that make her gorgeous legs look even longer and more toned than they already are. Alex can see she is also wearing her new necklace and a couple of silver bangle bracelets on her right wrist. Piper makes eye contact with Alex and her face lights up with a huge smile.

"Uh Nick? Can you please mix that Jack and Coke for me? It is for that guy at the end of the bar," Alex says distractedly as she begins walking toward Piper and her friends.

"Sure Stretch," Nicky says laughing at her badass friend turned into an ogling mess with the appearance of Piper Chapman.

Alex makes her way through the crowd of people and over to Piper. At first the women just stare at each other for a moment before Alex breaks the silence, "Hi Pipes," Alex says pulling the blonde close for a hug and whispering in her ear, "You look so fucking hot babe, I want to tear this dress off you right now."

Piper's eyes widen as she blushes slightly and pulls away. Piper is so mesmerized by the way Alex looks in that dress, that she actually forgets that Polly and Pete are standing right there watching all of this happen.

"Ahem," Polly clears her throat with a chuckle. "Alex, I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Polly, I was here with Piper the night the two of you met—and this is my fiancé Pete! Pete this is Piper's…"

"Girlfriend. I'm Piper's girlfriend. Nice to see you again Polly and good to meet you Pete," Alex answers quickly. "So can I get you guys something to drink? They are on the house tonight for you guys."

Piper smiles, "Tequila shots for us," she says pointing to herself, Alex, and Pete, "and a ginger ale shot for Polly!"

"Hey I'll take a Coors Lite as well," Pete says as he grabs a table for the group.

Piper, Polly, and Pete sit down at the table while Alex goes to make the drinks. Technically she is not working tonight, but she doesn't want to take her servers and bartenders away from other customers. She makes six tequila shots (two apiece for herself, Piper, and Pete), two ginger ale shots and a glass of water for Polly, a Sultry Margarita for Piper, a Coors Lite for Pete, and a Jack and Diet Coke for herself before heading back over to the table and sliding in next to Piper.

Alex passes out the shots and holds hers up, "Here's to the promise of a great 2018!"

"Cheers!"

Alex slowly reaches her hand under the table and places it on Piper's thigh. Polly is in the middle of talking about venues and colors for her wedding, but Alex's hand continues to roam higher up the blonde's thigh until it disappears under the hem of her dress. Piper sucks in a breath as Alex's hand gets closer and closer to her core. Alex continues to pretend to pay attention to what Polly is saying as her hand snakes further up Piper's dress. Piper smiles because she has a surprise that Alex is about to discover. Alex's hand suddenly stops as she realizes that the younger woman is not wearing any underwear. Alex groans very softly so that only Piper can hear her and leans close to her ear, "You're killing me Pipes…"

"That was the plan," Piper whispers into Alex's ear.

Piper grabs Alex's hand and pulls her up out of the booth, "Let's dance Al! Polly you too—Pete let's go!" Piper shouts over the upbeat music that has just been turned louder and pulling Alex and Polly up from the booth. Piper makes her way the small dance floor dragging Alex behind her. There are already several other people dancing some in pairs and some in large groups. Piper wraps her arms around Alex's neck and pulls her close as their bodies press together their hips began to move together in time with the music. They have been dancing for around fifteen minutes when Piper suddenly spins around so that her ass is pressed against Alex's front as they continue to grind to the music. Alex lets her hands wander over the blonde's hips and stomach while giving her a kiss on the neck. Piper moans her appreciation and leans back into her girlfriend feeling the brunette's breasts against her bare back. Normally Piper is not big on public displays of affection, but she is so turned on right now it feels as though everyone else in the bar has faded into the background and it's just her and Alex in their own little world.

Still behind Piper, Alex whispers into her ear, "Hey babe, I'm gonna run to the restroom, do want another drink?"

"Sure, just a beer this time though…hurry back Al or I might have to find someone else to dance with," Piper teases with a sexy wink placing her hands on top of Alex's to hold her in place.

"Oh really now?" Alex teases back in that raspy voice of hers that is dripping with sex. "You better not Pipes if you want me to take of that puddle between your legs since there are no panties to stop it."

Piper blushes slightly and turns around so she is once again face to face with Alex and murmurs into her ear. "Is that a threat Vause?

"No…that's a promise Chapman!" Alex chuckles and starts heading for the restroom. "I'll be right back babe, don't have too much fun without me!" Piper looks around the dance floor briefly for Polly, but decides not to interrupt as it looks like she and Pete are in the middle of a very sexy dance of their own. The blonde decides to keep dancing with a large group of men and women that have just arrived on the dance floor until Alex gets back with their drinks.

Several minutes pass as Piper is having a blast dancing and jumping with the crowd when she feels a pair of hands circle around her waist and pull her back. At first she assumes its Alex returning with the drinks, but as soon as her ass is pressed against a rather hard bulge she quickly realizes it is not her girlfriend. Piper quickly spins around to give the loser a piece of her mind and she sees that it's Larry-a very drunk and 'touch feely' Larry.

"Larry! What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Happy New Year Pipes!" Larry yells and then pulls Piper roughly toward him and into an open-mouthed kiss.

Piper is shocked and pulls away quickly, "Why are you here Larry? We are not together anymore, you don't just get to touch and kiss me whenever you feel like it!"

"Come on Pipes you owe me! It can just be a one night thing if you want, but I don't want to be alone tonight and I know you don't either," Larry slurs and starts kissing her again. Piper tries to push Larry away, but he refusing to stop.

"Get the FUCK away from her!" Alex yells and pushes Larry back with all of her strength.

Larry is momentarily stunned but moves forward again toward Piper, "Hey it's okay, we're engaged..."

Alex moves herself so that her face is a mere inches from Larry's "I don't care if you're fuckin Prince Charming, she clearly doesn't want you kissing and touching her and from my understanding-you're not engaged anymore."

"Who the fuck are you and why do you care who she kisses?" asks Larry becoming belligerent.

Alex is still very close to Larry and unwilling to back down, "I'm Alex and the reason I care who she kisses is because she's MINE. I'm the only one she kisses now so get the fuck out of my bar before I have you removed by the police!"

Just then Pete comes running over and grabs Larry by the shoulders and pulls him toward the exit. "Come on Larry, let's get you outta here and into an Uber, you need to sober up dude."

Piper mouths a "THANK YOU!" to Pete before turning her attention back to Alex.

"So that was the ex-fiancé huh? He seems like a real asshole Pipes. I'm sorry if I made a scene or embarrassed you or whatever, but I guess I kinda lost it when I saw him forcing that kiss on you…"

"That was so fucking hot Alex!" Piper whispers into Alex's ear pulling her body impossibly closer and kissing her. "So…I'm yours huh?"

"Yes your mine—and don't you forget it," Alex says with her trademark smirk. "Now I've been dying to fuck you all night since you walked in here wearing that dress and no fucking underwear, and I'm not willing to wait any longer," Alex says softly grabbing Piper's hand and practically running to her office.

Once inside, Alex locks the door and pushes Piper up against the door with a hungry kiss biting the blonde's lower lip and then sucking it into her mouth. The brunette's hands are already sliding up underneath Piper's dress to her dripping wet pussy. Alex wastes no time and glides two fingers into Piper effortlessly and uses her thumb to rubs small circles around her clit. Piper gasps and moans loudly into Alex's mouth as their tongues do a dance of their own. Alex removes her fingers and brings them up to Piper's mouth where the younger woman greedily sucks them clean. Alex slowly lowers herself to her knees in front of Piper and pushes her dress up so it rests just above her hips. Lifting up Piper's left leg, and placing it over her shoulder Alex looks up at Piper and begins sucking on her clit. Piper throws her head back against the door and moans loudly, "Oh fuck Alex! Yes! Don't fucking stop!" Alex has no intentions of stopping as she continues sucking and returning her fingers to Piper's throbbing entrance and pushing them inside. Alex can feel Piper's walls begin to flutter and clench as the blonde climaxes. Alex isn't finished yet though as she keeps her mouth on Piper's clit, sucking, licking, and biting softly until her lover comes a second time. Removing her fingers Alex slowly stands back up and licks them clean while never taking her emerald eyes away from Piper's blue ones.

From outside the office, the women hear 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"Happy New Year, Al" Piper murmurs.

"Happy New Year, Pipes."
