Chapter 4

"Kiss me"

"I guess that's just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up."

― Lauren Oliver, Delirium

Piper had lay out the blanket on the floor and she lied on it with Alex. Strangely enough the floor was comfier than the bunk and also they had more space to stretch out. Piper was always the little spoon because Alex always been the dominant one, but this time it was the other way around. Piper lied behind her back, a comforting hand draped around her body and her face buried in her hair. The sobs became less frequent and then eventually ceased. Piper realized by the tall woman's soft snores that she had fallen asleep, so she allowed herself to do the same. It must have been the middle of the afternoon, but they were both very tired and time didn't really matter in this place anyway.

A few hours later Alex awoke. She turned in the still slumbering blonde's embrace to see her face. Exquisite; wasn't enough to describe the impeccability of her features. She was astonishingly beautiful even for prison- no make up and skin that hadn't seen the sun in months, she still took Alex's breath away every time she looked at her. The way her nose wrinkled in her sleep sometimes as if she was concentrating on something important in her dream was truly adorable. Alex bit her own lip, trying to stop herself from kissing the gorgeous woman in front of her.

Suddenly, Alex stomach growled. Shit, she thought because the sound woke up the blonde.

Piper smiled, her eyes still closed and said, "Is it wrong that your bodily noises turn me on? Cause they do."

Alex laughed. "You're silly," she said.

Piper put an innocent kiss on her lips and opened her eyes. She looked behind Alex to see a tray of food. "Oh we got the food, wanna eat?" she asked.

Alex hummed and held the blonde closer. "Not now this is great"

Piper smiled and kissed her some more softly, no sexual intentions behind it.

Alex broke the kiss, her forehead never leaving Piper's. "About earlier…" she started, referencing the break down. Piper put a finger on her lips.

"It's okay, you have a right to be angry," she said gently, her thumb stroking her cheek.

"What are we going to do, kid?" she asked, almost in a whisper.

Piper sighed. "Well, the next time they bring us out of here for an interrogation or something, I'm gonna tell them it was me." Alex mouth's dropped and she shook her head 'no;. "It was my fault, I'm not gonna let them put the blame on you" she said succinctly.

Alex sat up, followed by Piper. "I'm not gonna let you do that Piper," she objected firmly. "You'll never be able to get out here if you do that. Just no."

"Maybe not. Maybe I can prove that it was self-defense and it's gonna be okay." Piper tried to reassure her. The look on Alex face told her it was not working. "Alex you said so yourself, I never take responsibility for my actions. Am I now so please would you try to be supportive for once."

"Piper, the chances of this turning out okay are really small." Alex reasoned her. Piper nodded, fully acknowledging the situation. "They could put you in psych or transfer you to a high-security facility do you even realize this" Piper nodded again. "What about Larry, huh? What do you think he's gonna say about that."

"Oh fuck him Alex. He left me. If he couldn't handle me at my worst then I can't be with him. I don't want to be." Piper explained. "Remember when you told me that life gets messy and you can't always fix it, well I can't fix it with Larry. He's a good guy and he deserves better. I know I can fix it with you though and this is why I'm gonna do this."

Alex closed her eyes and held Piper's hand on her chest. She whispered, "I can't lose you". Piper moved and molded their body together, an arm around her shoulder and the other holding her back of her head. "I can't lose you," Alex repeated in her ear.

"Maybe you won't have too," Piper said and truly wanted to believe it. "Look I doubt they'll come get us again until tomorrow, so let just enjoy the time we have alright." Piper broke the embrace. "Let's eat a bit".

They ate their meal quietly and as always it was disgusting. Piper had never craved for a big mac and a fries like this before and she was sure Alex felt the same way. She promised herself to drive right to a McDonalds when getting out Litchfield. If she ever got out of Litchfield.

They still had the whole night and it was starting to get boring so they decided to play games. Most of them they would get bored after 10 minutes until they started playing 'would you rather' things got more interesting,

"So would you rather; have sex with Crazy Eyes or lick the bathroom's fungus-infected floor for 5 minutes?" Alex asked.

Piper frowned. "Lick the floor."

"That bad?" Alex laughed.

"Yeah I don't think I could handle all the swirls." Piper joked. "Okay my turn. While we are on the sex subject, would you rather have sex with me the rest of your life," Piper grinned and continued, "or have a thousand sexual partner for the rest of your life"

"Hmm why do I feel like this is a trick question," Alex laughed. "Well for my health I think my gynecologist would recommend the first one, so yeah I'mma go for with the first." Piper poked her on the shoulder. "What that's not the answer you wanted? Alright, alright. I choose the latest then."

"You asshole!" Piper jested.

"C'mon Pipes, why would I want to have sex with a thousand strangers when you are the sexiest, most talented and most beautiful girl I have ever been with." Alex told her before pressing her lips on hers.

"Good answer," Piper breathed on her lips.

"Piper…" Alex began with a more serious tone. "Look I don't feel right about letting you take the blame for this. It's my fault that you're in here in the first place. You just did what you had to do to save your life and it would have never come to that if I hadn't brought you along with me to do my stupid shits and then ratted you up. It's all my fault."

"I did a crime and I was fully aware of what I was doing and I'm doing my time for it. It's not your fault; you never forced me into your things. I'm taking responsibility for my actions Alex." Piper explained calmly.

"I know, but still, ratting you up was truly fucking stupid and mean."

A light went on in Piper's head. "Maybe not…" she said. "Alex I have an idea and we could both gain something out of it, especially you." Piper smiled enthusiastically and Alex waited. "You could tell Mr. Caputo it was me. I mean he offered you less time right? You tell him you saw me attack Pennsatucky and then I explain it was self-defense like I was planning to do and…"

"No fucking way Piper," Alex interrupted her. "I can't do this. You can't ask me to do this it's too much. No."

"Alex… you could lose a lot of time on your sentence. Get out early… with me," Piper smiled.

"We have no guarantee he will really reduce my sentence, Piper!" Alex exclaimed. "And what if it doesn't work, huh? What if we can't prove it was self-defense and your sentence get worse. How am I supposed to feel about the fact that I will have ruin your life twice?"

"No we have to stop saying that. My life is not ruined and neither is yours. We are still living and doing our best and coming to prison brought us back together so it's the best thing that could ever happen to me. I think this is a risk we need to take for us. I choose you Alex. I want us to be together. No plan here, just us, going through whatever life throw at us." Piper explained and added, "That's if you still want me?"

Alex smiled and squeezed her hand gently. "I do want you Piper… and I'll do it, but one condition; when we get out of here, I mean out of Litchfield, you let me take you to Bora Bora or wherever you want to go and we get a room, a large hotel room with a view of on the ocean."

"Deal!" Piper said enthusiastically.

Alex smiled. "Good, but we need be smart about this. We need to plan something to be sure it work."

They carefully elaborated a plan, a risky one to say the least. Now all they had to do is wait and see.

"It may not work," Alex said and Piper looked down. "It might be our last night here together…"

Piper looked back at her with lustful eyes. "Just kiss me already," she almost begged. Alex moved and cupped her face with her hands, lips pressing hard against hers. "Oh god I want you so much Alex," Piper whispered between kisses.

Khaki clothes were thrown haphazardly on the floor and naked bodies blended together on the rough blanket. Their tongues and fingers explored each other slowly, memorizing with ardor every details of their body. Alex attacked her breast, massaged them tenderly then took one nipple in her mouth and sucked hard on it. A moan erupted from Alex as she felt the blonde's wetness spurted onto the tight that rested between hers.

A throaty sound escaped Piper's mouth as her body shimmered in arousal under Alex's. She held dearly on the taller woman's back, the friction of their writhing bodies being too much and not enough. She needed to feel her completely.

"I need you inside baby please," Piper pleaded and quickly after that two swift fingers entered her gently, but firmly and settled for slow, vigorous pace with her thrusts. "Fuck," the blonde whimpered before quickly reciprocating the movement.

Their body moved perfectly in sync, shocks of pleasure rushing through their spines strongly enough to make their naked figures quake and tremble and buck and against each other.

Moans, whimpers and body sounds reasoned shamelessly within the room. It was what made their love making so beautiful—it's wasn't about proving themselves to each other or making it look like in the movies, it was purely about pleasure, relief, love and most importantly freedom. They were fucking, maybe for the last time, on the dirty floor of a not-so-segregated room in the midst of a prison they both were incarcerated for being two complete idiots, and it was still the most beautiful thing they could ever do- being humans and loving each other endlessly because really why else are we living then?

"Piper open your eyes and look at me," Alex asked softly as she felt they were both near climax. Piper opened her eyes. "I want you to look at me when you cum and remember this." Alex pushed the other woman to her release and consequently brought her own, their gaze never breaking. Both bodies shuddered until the intensity of their orgasms lowered, then they withdraw their fingers and entwined them next to their bodies, completely unmindful of the warm wetness that coaxed them.

A single tear spilled down Piper's cheek and Alex buried her face in the blonde hair before her own emotions showed off when they let sink the fact that it was maybe the last time they ever did this. They stayed like this a little while, sobbing quietly until arousal grew again. The rest of the night was spent with a mix of cries and releases and a lot of wishful thinking, but mostly genuine affection.

A/N: I haven't slept in so long so I really hope this make sense! I also just want to say that this is the most fun writing that I have had in a while; these two characters are so complex and interesting that it gives a lot of stuff to play around. I hope you are enjoying the ride as much as I do! Please review as it inspires me to continue and write this story.
