6.

The next morning, the day before the Chapman clan will be leaving for LA, Piper felt this little pang of sadness inside of her upon noticing that Alex was not at breakfast. Every time someone came through the door Piper would lift her head hoping to see the raven haired girl walking through the door, but she never came. Piper hoped that she was okay so after they finished their breakfast she send Larry and Cameron to the room to go and pack as much as possible so not to leave everything for the last minute. She was going to go check on Alex, but did not tell Larry that knowing that he doesn't particularly have a soft spot for the girl. She knocked on the door a couple of times, even calling Alex's name once or twice, but to her disappointment her knocks and calls remained unanswered. She walked away wondering if she would be able to say goodbye before they left in the morning. Alex said she would be around, so where was she.

After the little family of three packed everything they would not need today or tomorrow morning Cameron again nagged his mother to take him down to the swimming pool stating that he promised his friends he would come back today and making it clear to his mother that she taught him not to ever lie and if she does not take him down to the pool that would mean that he has lied to his friends. Now how can she not give in after that little performance? She is sure her son will follow in her footsteps of acting, because he is very good at it already. She explains to him that she has a couple of things to take care of today, but he can swim while she makes a couple of calls, maybe for an hour or so to which the boy agrees happily.

Piper is kind of surprised that they didn't have to argue about it, but she will take it. She is not in the best of moods since breakfast. It's almost 12pm and she still haven't seen or heard from Alex. Its shouldn't really upset her, but it does anyway.

So for some reason Cameron and his friends thought they were big enough to play on the steps of the big pool today. Even though he has got his arm floaties on Piper is not taking any chances and is standing close to the edge of the pool while talking frantically on the phone. This is where Alex spots her. She is throwing her arms in the air, then she scratches her forehead as if irritated. Obviously this is not a happy conversation.

Alex approaches Piper slowly so the blond does not notice her, and she doesn't. So when Alex is right behind her she talks into the blonds ear not covered by the phone "Payback Chapman."

Piper jumps at the sudden voice behind her. She is to close to the edge and before Alex could grab her there goes Piper Chapman, head first into the pool complete with phone, white satin shirt, dark blue skinnies and 4 inch heels.

Alex is doubled over laughing when Pipers head surfaces. "For fuck sakes Alex. I have a meeting in less than an hour." The blond shouts at her in a partially angry tone while making her way to the swimming pool steps. Cameron obviously very pleased with his mother in the swimming pool jumps on her as soon as she is in front of the steps.

"Mommy are you going to swim with me."

"No baby not exactly what mommy had in mind. I'm not really dressed for it am I." she explains to her son hugging him and kissing him on the forehead before she puts him back down onto the step.

Alex is standing there with her had outstretched offering Piper some help to get out of the pool. The taller girl still cant control her laughter. Piper shoots her a fiery look but accepts the hand. "What the fuck about this is funny to you exactly?" The blond enquires.

"Mommy…." She hears Cameron's complaining voice.

"Yes, yes I know baby. I said a bad word. I am sorry." Diverting her attention back to the laughing girl "This is not funny Alex. I have a meeting in an hour. Cameron's nanny just informed me that she wont be coming back because her mother is ill and she needs to take care of her. Oh and look…" she holds up her phone dripping with water "I cant even fucking call her back now because my phone is fucked." Piper glares at Alex looking for any sort of a response but she just stands there with her arms crossed, smile on her face and quirked eyebrow.

Eventually after a stare down the blond gets a response "Are you done now? For someone who is not suppose to say bad words you swear a hell of a lot."

"Fuck you Alex"

"Hey I warned you that I would get you back for yesterday didn't I. Why are you standing so close to the pool anyway. You are a danger to yourself Chapman." Alex laughs "but you look so cute right now and I must say the see through shirt…. It fits perfectly."

Even though she wants to be mad at the other girl right now a little smile forms on her lips "We should really stop sneaking up on each other."

"We will. Its your last day here, remember."

"Yeah it is. I didn't see you at breakfast this morning…."

"Were you looking" Alex interrupts with a coy smile.

"Well of course. I told you I will see you around today. Its our last day. I would hate to leave without saying goodbye." Piper rolls her eyes and Alex thinks she is so cute right now.

"I went out for a walk. Couldn't sleep. Been lying awake since 5am."

"Well I have to run. I need to change, get a new phone and still try and make it on time for my meeting." She turns to her son "Come on boy we have to go." Seeing his surprised face because its less than the hour she promised she quickly apologize "I'm sorry baby. Mommy didn't plan on going for a dip in her meeting clothes. I have to go change. I…."

"I'll watch him." Piper turns to look at Alex "I mean it is my fault that you are in this cute mess. I will watch him."

"Are you sure?" She asks and Alex nods "Like 100% sure?" Alex nods again.

"Yes! Go. Now"

"Thanks Alex. I owe you. His dry clothes are over there."

"No problem kid and sorry about your phone. Not sorry about the shirt, but sorry about the phone." They both burst out in laughter.

"Are you ever going to stop flirting Vause?"

"Nope" came the reply "It's like my second nature or religion or something. I have to flirt a couple times a day to get through the day." There's pause, there's smiles and then "now go."

"Okay. See you later. Thanks again." And the blond is off. She doesn't get very far before she turns around "Hey Alex. Do you maybe want to have dinner tonight."

"Is Larry coming"

"Probably. He has to eat. His human. Please?" Piper pleads "We won't be at breakfast tomorrow. We have to be at the airport very early. I wont have time to get together today. Tonight is the only option."

Alex thinks about it for no more than a second. "See you at dinner."

Piper winks at Alex, blows a kiss to her son and off she goes.

Alex walks over to an empty lounger where she can get comfortable and are able to keep an eye on Cameron. The little boy jumped out of the pool and came running up to Alex.

"How long do I have" he asked her.

"As long as you want" she winks at him and his smile couldn't be bigger. At that exact moment Alex realized that she probably should have given him a time frame. Cameron is way to clever for his age and will assume he can swim till the next morning so she decided to rephrase "As long as you want, but not later than 5 okay. We are having dinner tonight and still need time to get ready."

"Thanks Alex" he shouts back at her as he runs back to his friends in the pool.
