First off I need to offer a sincere apology for the lack of updates with this story. A lot of things came out of nowhere and I found myself overwhelmed with responsibilities. However most of that has been taken care of and I am now back home so you can expect regular updates from now on. I cannot express how sorry I am over the delay but I hope that you all will forgive my hiatus.

I welcome any and all reviews as well as PMs.

Blinking I slowly woke up from one of the deepest sleeps I've ever had. Sunlight filtered through the curtains casting shadows around an unfamiliar room. An unfamiliar room… wait what? Panic coursed through my veins until I felt a weight at my hip. Looking down I saw a pale arm snaked around me. Alex. All at once the panic was gone, replaced instead by an overwhelming feeling of peace. This felt so right. I slowly turned over so I was face to face with Alex. In protest to my movements she gripped my waist tighter, pulling me even closer to her without waking up.

The sunlight danced across her face, making her appear even younger than she was. Gone were the frown lines and ego-shattering smirk. In their place was an almost serene expression. For a moment I thought I caught a glimpse of the little girl she used to be. And that tiny twinkling of innocence made me fall for her harder than all the hours of snarky comments and flirting had ever done. I felt an acute ache slowly build up inside of my gut. I needed to see this again. I desperately wanted to wake up like this, to her beautiful face, every morning for the rest of my life. And in that moment of clarity I was overwhelmed with the sudden urge to run.

I barely know her! I can't possibly be imagining a future… and yet I did. I wanted this. I want her, all of her. And that is a totally new feeling. One that I'm not sure I like. What happened to being independent? And honestly out of all people you develop these feelings for Alex?! Alex the girl who has joked several times about how she doesn't do relationships. Alex, who admitted to be avoiding former flings on multiple occasions while she wasted hours away at your job. Alex, the woman who won't ever feel like this about me.

I vowed as a kid to never ever give someone my heart completely. After seeing the catastrophe that is my parent's marriage I learned that people will only hurt you. So the trick is to never get attached. If you don't give them your heart they can't break it. I have to leave.

As I slowly inched away from Alex I carefully watched her face for signs of her waking. Instead, what I found was startling enough to make me pause. As I pulled further away her face slowly lost its innocence. Her eyebrows furrowed and her mouth hardened into a frown. Her grip on my waist tightened and her muscles tensed. It was almost as if her subconscious didn't want me to leave. As if deep down she wanted me to stay. And for a moment I allowed myself to hope. None of this made sense. I was confident that this wasn't Alex and this definitely WAS NOT me! And yet there was a tiny voice in my head that whispered maybe.

Weighing my options I decided to take a chance on what possibly could be, and snuggled back into her form. Immediately she relaxed, once again slipping into that blissful state. With a smile I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her cheek, then another on her nose. Slowly I ran my hands up and down her back, kissing her face repeatedly until her gorgeous green eyes slowly blinked open.

For several seconds Alex simply stared. Dread and panic began to rise in my chest as the moments ticked by. Damn it Piper! You should've left; you knew she wouldn't want you to still be here. Now this is going to be awkward. Run…RUN!

All thoughts ceased however the moment I felt a hand caress my cheek. A smile that would make the angel's sigh danced across her face. "Morning Pipes."

"Good Morning," I sighed. Glancing around I noticed the ripped sheets, images of them grasped in my fists as I rode out wave after wave of pleasure ripped through my mind. "Oh God I'm sorry about your sheets! I'll replace them I swear! That's never happened to me before I usually have much more control over myself…" My face was bright red as I tried to come up with something to say to lesson my embarrassment.

With a smirk Alex leaned in and caught my lips in a chaste kiss. "Don't bother. I'm keeping them as a trophy. Who knew the WASPY Piper Chapman was a screamer? I'm surprised the neighbors didn't come to make sure I wasn't torturing anyone." Chuckling she pulled away, all the while glancing down at my still naked form. Inhaling deeply she shook her head before staring at the ceiling. "Do you have to work today?"

My mind raced to catch up as I desperately tried to recall my schedule. "No, I'm off until Sunday." Her arm suddenly wrapped around me and tugged me on top of her. "Good," she whispered, slowly placing kisses down my neck. I inhaled sharply when she nipped at my collarbone. "Please tell me you don't have any plans."

A picture of Polly flickered across my mind and I knew that if I were to check my phone I'd see dozens of missed calls and messages. The logical side of me realized that I needed to leave and go deal with her before she drug my parents into this but when I felt Alex's hands firmly knead my ass I quickly decided Fuck it. "Nope, I'm all yours." I managed to whisper before her lips firmly connected with mine once again.

As pleasure coursed through my veins all I could think of was this is not going to end well, but fuck if I'm not going to enjoy the ride.
