Here's the next chapter, sorry its short but i wanted you to have something to keep you going. After this chapter the story will be much much more original but i wanted to use this amazing scene from the series to give a clear direction and start to their story after they met. Hope you enjoy! Please review!
Inside Pipers brain she was screaming at herself to say something, anything or better yet to pick up her CV she had disregarded on the bar next to her. Instead she sat there, mouth twitching upwards, awestruck.
"Lets see this"
"Shit no, oh god! Would it be weird to snatch it back? She's going to take one look at my wishy washy CV and will going running back to her friends gushing jokes about Laura Ingalls Wilder's brief experience in Steve's greek Cuisine?" Piper internalised.
" Steve's Greek Cuisine? Le Grand Fromage? Bullshit, bullshit," Who was this woman immediately calling her out on her fraudulent entries, "You need a lesson in fudging a resume."
Not noticing that her mouth had opened causing her to look like she had taken offence from the spontaneous scrutiny of her CV. Who was she kidding; her and Polly had put it together in what? 2 hours? And it had only taken that long due to the bottle of wine they consumed in the process.
"Do you work here?" Piper immediately regretting her verbal diarrhea, "of course she doesn't Piper, look at her!"
"Are you fucking kidding me?" "Jesus, she's so blunt" Piper couldn't figure out why despite the bluntness and obviously interrogation she was receiving her heart was still beating hard against her chest, and her throat had become increasingly dry as their interrogation went on. Staring at the enigma next to her, hoping desperately to figure out her intentions but no, the cross examination continued.
"Manager, Polly Harper. No one named Polly Harper gets put in charge. Who is that really?" She said with the most beautiful grin that seemed to make the whole past five minutes worth every second.
"It's my friend." Piper beamed, as the striking brunette laughed a deep contagious chuckle. Even she could see the hilarity of the situation, was she honestly thinking this resume would get her anywhere today?
"You've never waited a fucking table in your life, have you?"
"No." Piper muttered, "Why did it seem that this woman knows everything there is to know about me and I've barely spoken a word, am I obviously that Waspy?" It made her feel slightly uncomfortable, causing her to look around in a nervous response, hoping no one else was witnessing their exchange and giving her time to try and think of something clever and witty to say back in response, instead of the permanent smile that had been imprinted on her face.
"So, Piper Chapman, 'A Smith grad with excellent listening skills, passionate about making diners feel good' Mmm….that sounds kind of dirty."
"God even the way she says my name is hot, but she's definitely flirting right? No one looks for sexual innuendos in just everyday conversation, oh thank god there's my drink" Piper internalized as the bartender finally brought over her Margarita.
"You can put that on my tab." She said as if it meant nothing, clearly this woman has done this before.
"Safe, clean, and careful when handling food and drink" Piper had finally had enough of the banter at her expensive, finally snatching her resume back from the brunette.
"Oh, gosh." She gushed, not being able to hold in her own embarrassment anymore, her CV really did need changing, she really should have read it again in the morning with a clean head before printing it and wasting an entire day.
"I like that in a woman." Suddenly the humor ended, "What else do I need to know about you?"
"Who are you?" she blurted out, finally piper managed to ask the question that had been on her lips throughout this entire experience, who is this alluring mysterious creature?
"My name is Alex." "More, More.. I need more"
"And what do you do, Alex? Besides make fun of strangers in bars?" Piper questioned, realising she still knew next to nothing about 'Alex'.
"I work for an international drug cartel."
