It's tomorrow! Nuff said ;). Although just to be safe, please no spoilers! I'm at a wedding so I can't watch until Saturday :(
Things were slowly getting back to normal. Well, as normal as things could get in prison. Piper begrudgingly accepted her "guard". Not that she noticed anyone watching her much, only when Carlin got that little bit too close for anyone's liking. Unfortunately after a week Gloria had been forced into feeding her again, otherwise she wouldn't be a problem at all anymore. She normally only pushed the limits when Alex was with Piper, deliberately teasing Piper's girlfriend. So it was no real surprise when she took a seat at an empty side of the table in the rec room where the couple were playing go fish.
"This looks like fun. Can I join in next game?" She asked cockily. Alex badly wanted to throw Carlin to the ground and beat the shit out of her like she deserved, but she knew that's exactly the kind of reaction Carlin was wanting, something to get her into serious trouble.
"Go fuck yourself, Carlin." Alex hissed. All Carlin did was snort derogatively.
"Well that's not very nice Vause is it? Besides, I'd rather fuck someone other than myself." Carlin's hand snaked under the table and squeezed not Piper's thigh- but Alex's. She had changed her target. Still, Alex didn't even look at her.
"Get your filthy, disease ridden hand off of me before I break it." She snarled. Carlin smirked at her.
"I could put it somewhere else if you'd rather…"
"Leave her alone." Piper demanded, jumping up and towering over Carlin. She had finally had enough. She would not allow Carlin to intimidate her, and she would certainly not allow her to violate Alex's space. "I'm tired of your shit Carlin. You caught me off guard in the shower room, that won't happen again. Now move along." Both Carlin and Alex were taken aback by Piper's boldness. Carlin could see that now wasn't the right time to mess with the couple, and that she would have to find a new tactic to get to them.
"Alright blondie, don't get your panties in a twist." Carlin said, getting up. "There's more than one way to skin a cat, remember that." Carlin said, with a little wink. She then left the couple alone in the room.
"Aww, my hero." Alex teased, batting her eyelashes at Piper. "But seriously, thanks for sticking up for me. I know it can't have been easy for you." Alex reached across the table and pecked Piper's cheek. "I'm sorry to have to cut our game short- especially since I was whooping your ass- but I need to wash off whatever diseases she's carrying so I'm going to take a quick shower."
"Maybe I should help make sure there are no traces of said diseases left? Wouldn't want you getting infected with anything." Piper said, a small smirk on her face. Alex took her glasses and raised them on top of her head.
"What a hero you are, Miss Chapman. Your help would be much appreciated, I just don't know how I'm going to repay you." Piper moved so close to Alex that the tall, raven haired woman could feel Piper's breath tickle her chin.
"Well I'm sure we can arrange something." Piper breathed against her ear. Alex gave her lover a coy smile before wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"I'm sure we will." She replied seductively. "And while we're in that shower, you can help me plot some long term revenge on that beast. Don't think that because you're over what she did I am."
