Chapter 5
Piper woke up before her alarm and unlike yesterday morning she jumped straight from her bed, and got into the shower. She let the warm water run down her body while she tried to not get to excited about the fact she was going out of the office today, with Alex to interview the kids at Litchfield high about their new art building.
Piper wrapped in her towel with most of her long toned legs visible and headed towards the kitchen to get a cup of coffee before she decided what to wear today, knowing this was going to take longer than usual. She took her favourite pink cup from the cupboard and filled it with coffee before heading back to her room. Piper placed her coffee on top of her dressing table and started to search for an outfit, she grabbed two pairs of nearly identical black trouser, three blouses, two jackets and a dress. She finally settled for black drainpipe trousers with a champagne colour blouse with a black blazer and her comfiest pair of heels.
Piper took one last look in the mirror before she left the house to walk to work and smiled as she felt good with her choice. She had to leave her cars at the office last night as she drank far too much to drive home. Piper really couldn't remember the last time she felt this happy and optimistic, anything was now possible.
Piper got to the office and headed to the staff room, Polly and Alex wasn't here yet so she decided to grab some more coffee and get Polly and Alex one ready for them. Then it hit her she didn't know how Alex liked her coffee or even if she drank coffee, she didn't know a lot about the dark haired beauty. Just then the door open and Alex walked in and smiled when she saw Piper.
"morning Alex would you like a coffee, I'm just making some." Asked a flustered Piper.
Alex gave a small smirk and responded "please black, no sugar."
Piper finished making the three coffees and asked if Alex was ready to enter hell, Litchfield high. Alex then looked down at her feet and Piper wondered what she had said to upset her. Just as Polly entered the staff room and said dramatically "omg Pipes I need coffee, how do you two look so good, I feel like I'm dying."
Piper passed the cup to Polly and asked Alex if she was ready to leave. The two walked to Piper car in silence and the blonde was still trying to figure out what was wrong with Alex. Has the two got in of her red Honda CRV.
"Alex have I upset you" said a concerned Piper
Alex was playing with the strap of her camera bag as she tried to find the words. Alex felt stupid she was never shy so she decided to take a deep breath and spill.
"it's just it's my old high school and well my mum kind of, works there and asked if I would pop in and say hi while we were there."
Piper felt excited and nervous all at the same time, she would get to meet Alex mum. Piper asked Alex if she was popular at school. On dreading have any conversation about her childhood with anyone Alex stared out the window and tried to give as little as possible away.
"not really" Alex replied with a nervous chuckle.
Piper laughed and Alex turned to look with a puzzled look before Piper responded. "school was kind of hell for me to, it's always been just me and Polly."
Alex gave her a warm smile and thought to herself that maybe Polly wasn't all bad, she's obviously looked out for Piper all these years. She suddenly noticed they had arrived as Piper parked her car and turned the engine off and started to get out.
Alex quickly jumped out and started to walk towards the building as Piper had to slightly run to catch her up. They both slowly walked up to the main office like they had been sent to the principal's office. Alex pulled open the door and smiled at Gloria who is friends with Diane, Alex's mum. Gloria greets them and told Alex to make sure she calls in on her mum and tells the pair of them to wait for Joe, who will show them around and answer any questions.
Joe Caputo is the school's principle, Alex as never met him but her mum seems to like him.
"hi Ladies, sorry to keep you waiting. I'm Joe Caputo. Would you like to follow me and I will give you the grand tour of the new art department, Daya our wonderful art teacher as got some of her students together for you."
The two women followed him, Piper looked around trying to imagine a young Alex walking arounds these walls and wondered if she has changed much.
Piper stood listening to Joe and writing notes for her article as Alex arranged Daya and the kids for the photograph and then turned around and saved Piper from Joe's ramblings by asking. "sorry Pipes can I borrow Joe for the picture please?"
Joe apologised and quickly got over to be in the picture, he seemed very proud of the new building but then he has turned the reputation of the school around. Alex snapped away and then let them know that was it all done, Alex backed away her camera as Piper got a quick interview with Daya and one of the kids.
Joe thanked the two of them and asked if they would like him to show them out, which Alex quickly jumped in and asked if it was ok to nip and say hi to her mum Diane.
"omg your Diana Vause daughter, of course you can. You look like your mother; how did I not know."
Piper didn't know if Alex wanted to nip and see her mum on her own or if she should go with her, so she asked Alex. "would you like to meet me back at the car."
Alex chuckled and grabbed Pipers arm and said "My mum would want to meet you come on."
Piper wondered why Alex's mum would want to meet her. Piper was still smiling as she entered the school cafeteria as Alex still hasn't released her arm. "mum you around, this is me dropping by." Shouted Alex.
"very funny young lady now come grab a coffee with your old mum and introduce me to your friend" said a women who just looked like a slightly older version of Alex.
