3 weeks post Alex being Released From Jail

"I love Cambodia"

It didn't matter how many times she'd gone over it in her head, how many times she'd touched her soft pale skin, Alex was going mad with the ability to finally hold Piper against her again. It had been a lonely 3 years only getting to touch her during visitation for a minute or two at the beginning and end and she swore she'd never let her go again once she was out. After 3 weeks it literally seemed that way. Breast to breast they lay tangled in each other on their double bed in their tiny bachelor apartment. With tears streaking her eyeliner Alex leaned in close to Piper kissing both of her eyelids gently.

"I heart you babe, more than you'll ever fucking understand" She was overcome with love and pulled Piper in as close to her as she could. they were warm against each other, their hearts pounding together and Piper was the first to speak.

"Al, I do understand. I went home every night alone. Without you, for 3 fucking years! Thinking that somehow we'd never be together because I'd fucked up so bad that once you finally got out you'd realize that I wasn't the girl you wanted, or thought I was, or that maybe my fall back to being with men wasn't hot for you or something in between...Or worse that if I ever wanted to re-model my bathroom you'd leave me because I still didn't have the balls to free fall through life with you!"

Alex pulled Piper an inch from her face and kissed her temples. She lifted her left eyebrow playfully and slowly spoke.

"Babe, I want a corner tub, with jets...(she chuckled )! I will get the quotes for you next week you can pick the colour of the walls, but! Only if i get my jets..." Piper laughed too and teared up as she looked into Alex's deep green eyes.

"I love you Alexandra Vause, you do know that right?" Alex smiled and they kissed passionately. "Does this mean we can have a baby too?" Piper asked as sickeningly sweet as she could manage.

"Don't push it!" Alex stammered as she silenced Piper pushing her tongue into her mouth. She took Piper in, every blonde hair on her head, the vanilla lavender smell on her skin and the wind billowing in their window sill. There was nothing about those first weeks back together she wanted to forget not even the damp smell that seemed to never leave their tiny apartment, there truly was nothing about it that wasn't perfect. Not with Piper back for good, it was like she was finally alive again.

Piper was smiling from ear to ear at this point. Alex looked at her intrigued and slightly concerned.

"What's with the big smirk ? Did you fart or something?"

"Alex ! No of course not I'd be laughing then!" She said as she playfully hit Alex in the shoulder. "I booked a flight. I have the next two weeks off at work I made sure it'd work out. Do you trust me?"

Alex batted her eyes and ran her fingers through Piper's hair making her nearly purr. "Of course I do."

"Good. I love you Alex." Piper whispered into her ear. "I've never wanted to love fuck anyone like I want to with you right now..."

"Okay, but you best be willing to let me have my way with you?!" Alex said blankly as she tugged at Piper's hips forcefully.

"Ahh, I-I will Al." Piper said submissively before they tossed together between the tangled sheets.

-12 hours later-

Alex held Piper's hair back in their plane seat as she tossed her lunch for the 5th time that morning. She patted her shoulders lightly and tried to comfort her as they traveled to God knows where. But it didn't matter to Alex, she trusted Piper more than she had ever trusted anyone.

She spent hours wondering what had brought them back together and how she had ever mellowed enough to actually want to re-model their bathroom, especially in a rental unit ... but then she caught a glimpse of her dainty, blonde beauty sleeping in the seat beside her and remembered how important this stepping stone would be in their lives.

The plane began to land and Alex realized where they were. Piper shot upright and looked at Alex expectantly, her blue eyes shimmering with excitement.

"Welcome to Cambodia Alex." Piper said looking smitten with herself.

"I hope you packed you bathing suit Al, we're hitting the beach!" Alex looked at her slyly.

"Sorry babe, no bathing suit but I do have these..." She whispered as she handed Piper a small baggy of brightly coloured pills and winked.

"How did you know?!" Piper squeaked in pure shock.

"I know you Piper Chapman. I, know you."

"I love Cambodia..." Piper said as they walked off the plan holding hands.

"Me too..."
