"A Little Too Much"

(Natasha Bedingfield)

It's a thin line between love and friendship. – Something Borrowed

...

They say love hides behind every corner. Piper Chapman must have been walking on loops for she never really had found anything remotely close to it. She dated a few people in her life. Some have lasted a year or two but she couldn't really recall someone that she had strong feelings for. Somebody whom she always craved to be near, somebody that whenever she looks at, gives her that annoying feeling of having butterflies fluttering on her stomach. The kind of someone that she'll get excited hearing the voice no matter how pointless the speeches are. She longs for that smile she'll never get tired of staring at. Well actually, she might have found that person. Love must really be illusively cruel to her, because in this infuriatingly large number of people on this planet, she falls for someone who does not or might not ever love her back. Piper Chapman is madly in love with her best friend.

On a clear sky of a Wednesday night, Piper and her friends we're having fun languidly on a tavern they frequent. The watering hole is a favorite amongst the number of other bars around. The ambience is very soothing for people who preferred to hang out and converse rather than get lost on the booming music, and rub with sweaty bodies around. They were seated on the table few feet away from the entrance. She's facing the small stage of the tavern while Nicky and Lorna was seated across her facing the entrance.

"Where's your overly sardonic best friend?" Nicky asks her.

"She said she's going to be here in 10 minutes." Piper rolls her eyes and replied. Nicky and Lorna become her friends six years ago as she met them on a certain party of a common friend. While she is sure that the object of her fondness has no clue of her affections, Nicky and Lorna is a different story. They have seen the blonde's un-wavering attention to her "Friend" about whatever story shared or the over bearing cuteness of concern when the said "Friend" is hurt or sad for whatever cause. Mostly, they are not oblivious about the blonde's small spurt of jealousy whenever the "Friend" comments about a certain deity around. Nicky and Lorna observed enough about Piper's un-platonic feelings for her best friend so they tried to warn her one time, that one day it might consume her. After all, unrequited love is the infinite curse of the lonely heart. The night gets deeper as the hours passed by with light teasing and endless counts of their reckless juvenile stories.

"Okay, we've been here for three hours…and Nicky is on her fourth bottle. Where the heck is…" Lorna inquiries but she was cut off by Nicky even before she finishes her sentence.

"Vause!" Nicky yells in excitement as she saw the brunette entered the front door. She and Alex have this unexplainable attachment built by sarcastic comments and comical sense of humor, a one-time subject of envy for Piper. But as the years passed she has acknowledged that while she was having an undisclosed affection to Alex, Nicky on her feelings for the brunette remains platonic. As Alex strides to their table, Piper raised her palm and shyly wave. She is grinning idiotically as she views the brunette's graceful arrival. Entranced, as the background seems to be in slow motion, as Alex's dark locks flows perfectly behind her and her long legs walks in elegant fashion. She was bought back to the reality of her dreaming when Alex seated beside her and bumps their shoulder lightly. They locked eyes as they usually do.

"I thought 10 minutes?" Piper whispered.

"Sorry, work took some time." Alex answered apologetically as she acknowledges the other two of their friends.

"Work? Is that her name?" Nicky jokes, as she earned an elbow in the side from Lorna, as she sees Piper's brows furrows.

"No…Maggie is. But she's not the reason I'm late. It's really work." She explains and faces Piper. The blonde smiled timidly, as their friends sends her a knowing look. Alex inquires as to what her drink is, as their faces were inches apart. They always talk like this on occasion. Whether it's the courage brought by alcohol or pure buried want, she suddenly wants to rub her lips with the brunette's. Gladly, her spur of the moment desire was interrupted by Nicky's voice.

"So, is this Maggie serious or you're just making another good time?"

"She might be." She answers bluntly. The interrogations were interrupted as the server took the brunette's order. She looks at Piper and courteously ask her is she wants more.

"So this is serious?" Lorna probes more.

"Or we could just get down to some serious drinking instead." Nicky said in mockery, that Alex laughs about. Piper observes as dreads come to her in a tiny voice that screams, "this is dead serious".

"Well, I think she's the one." Alex says in a small voice, thinking quietly as she peels the label of her beer.

"You think?" Nicky mocks her again.

"She's okay. She's understanding, very patient, respectful…"

"She sounds like my grandmother." Nicky cuts her off and protests that earn her a laugh from Lorna as Piper giggles.

"Okay, please do not deride my choices in women just because you already found someone who can tolerate yours." Alex says as she gestures to Lorna. She found Piper unusually quiet so she moves to her a little closer and murmur if she's okay. Alex always does this. She always asks if the blonde is okay or if she wants something, it makes Piper feel cherished. Piper didn't answer but nods.

"I mean…Vause, hear me out okay? You don't get to be with someone just because they're okay.

"Isn't love suppose to be consuming, mad, passionate, sweeps you off your feet kinda thing?" Lorna backs up Nicky's claim.

"Or it can be safe, easy, warm, ordinary…" Alex disputes. The conversation continues on their table as the evening deepens. Piper throws a few words to pacify Alex's worries on her silence.

"I mean…I found something good, why would I exchange it for something better that I haven't found yet." She says in an assured voice and looks around for the waiter.

"Vause, listen to me…there are countless mediocre stuffs in this life…and love isn't one of them." Says Nicky. Lorna is so proud that she grabs Nicky's face and kisses her. Alex laughs on her mush balls friends. She faces Piper and was about to ask for her opinion but heard a song she recognized in the background.

"What?" Piper inquires confusedly as Alex's brows rise.

"This is our song!" Pipers listens intently, as she hears the song they both sang in a karaoke bar once.

"I need a love that's strong…I'm so tired of being alone…but will my lonely heart play the part…c'mon Pipes." She sang said to Piper as she encourages her to join on her fiasco chanting of the song. Her enthusiasm was disturbed as the waiter approached them for another round of drinks. As Alex converse with him, Nicky mouthed "Foolish heart" to Piper and teases. She gave a smile quite not reaching her eyes, as Lorna returns the glum smile as she sympathize.

...

A trip on Farmer's market on a Saturday morning with Piper, is a mistake. Lorna learned this the hard way when she accompanied the blonde to buy organic vegetables. Her ears were talked off about health nutrients and they carry a lot of veggies and fruits capable of feeding a basketball team.

"Do you really consume this much in a week?"

"Uhm…no. I'm not a whale Lorna."

"Then why did you buy so many?"

"Some are for Alex." She said straight, as Lorna stares at her skeptically.

"And why? She doesn't even eat this much of healthy selections."

"Yes she does…when I ask her to. Besides she might not know it now, but she'll thank me when we're older and grey."

"You always view growing old with Alex don't you?" She said suggestively and smiles. The blonde feels her blood on her cheeks.

"I mean…yeah. She's my best friend that's given."

"I salute you, you know?"

"Huh?"

"What you're doing is hard. You can't be just friends with someone you're madly in love with." Lorna said. She looks at the smaller brunette and exhales a breath she wasn't aware holding.

"I just…I didn't even know where to begin to explain."

"Oh…you surely didn't have to explain. But honey, you know you deserved to be loved. You deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy."

"I am." They shared a warm smile as Lorna sees Alex approaching. Piper looked at the direction on which Lorna is eyeing. She was surprised that Alex is up this early for she was never an early riser.

"Good thing! Here…since that's all for you." Lorna thrusts a bag to her.

"For me? You will not make me eat all of these greens Piper."

"Oh trust me Al, I would."

"You guys are cute…bickering like old couples." Lorna states the obvious as Alex smirk to her. Piper feels bliss inside her.

"What are you doing here anyway?" the blonde probes.

"I just have a meeting by 11. I decided to drop by."

"Since you mighty thing is here, I would love to excuse myself for my cynically gorgeous of a girlfriend might be looking for me anytime soon…Need to feed the lion." They laugh on the illustration and said their goodbyes. Lorna crosses the street to get home as they both continue walking to Piper's apartment. Piper observes Alex's as she saw the brunette's face contorts and brows furrows.

"You haven't had your coffee aren't you?

"Yeah…I didn't had the chance this morning." She answered and smiles.

"Let's grab some before your migraine worsens."

"You're like the only other human who's ever known me this much."

"Uhm…that's a lie. Nicky too."

"You're different."

Piper just smiles, she lets whatever meaning Alex's words has die on silence as they grab a coffee to go. They reach the blonde's apartment and as Piper settles her grocery, Alex slackens on her couch. She joined the brunette minutes after she changed on her house clothes. It didn't bother the blonde to be on her messy self, as Alex always sees her like this while at her apartment, plain shirt and shorts, as the brunette didn't mind. She hands Piper a flyer of a certain audition for a much needed pianist for an artist's concert.

"Wow, this is big."

"I know. I was thinking maybe you would like to try."

"I don't know Alex. I don't think I'm ready for this."

"Are you kidding me? Pipes I heard you play a thousand times. I am always at awe after, and you seemed to be more great than the last time." She earned a smile from the blonde, as she was warmed by Alex's words. Somehow Alex feels she needs to push Piper more on believing to herself. The blonde always seemed to doubt herself more than anything. The same way she always deemed herself undeserving of somebody's love. She rests her head on Piper's shoulder, as sleep tries to consume her. She didn't know if it's the carefree thoughts brought by exhaustion, or pure strong adoration for the blonde that makes her say the next words.

"You're amazing Pipes. Sometimes you just have to believe on yourself a little bit more. You deserve to be loved until your insides melt. Don't give up on the things you want. When you meet the right person you'll have no doubts." She looks at Piper and said "none." They smiled towards each other as Alex closes her eyes, as exhaustion tries to sweep in again.

"What if doesn't work out? Will you be there?"

"I would not ever, never be there." She answers on a deep voice that tells Piper she is closed to snooze. She looks at Alex with adoration in her eyes, as she always does. She feels her dozing off and gazes at her intently, as her eyes travels on the brunette's moist lips. She leans closer, as she desires to closes the gap over them. She stops herself inches away, as she was reminded of how would Alex respond so instead, she swallows and as she closes her eyes, she rested her lips on the brunette's forehead and buried her aching need to be the only person the brunette would want.

...

Piper decided to try and audition as Alex has told her. Well, she almost always does what her "Friend" tells her. On the day itself however, the brunette regrets to inform her that she wouldn't be able to come. Piper was offended. She holds on to the thought that Alex would support her and will be there since the audition would be on Saturday, no work for the both of them but what upsets her more is that Alex couldn't be there because Maggie made plans to spend the day together. On occasions that they've talked about Alex's new love, she insistently said that they're taking it slow and they're getting to know each other still, which doesn't pacify Piper, instead it makes her heart ache each time she realizes that Alex may not ever view her as anything more than a friend. As Saturday comes Nicky and Lorna are kind enough to accompany her instead. They decided to just meet at the coffee shop a block away from Piper's apartment and share a cab. They were outside talking.

"Hey! Are you ready?" Lorna inquires, as an excited smile shows on her face.

"Well, as ready as I can be. I just want this to happen so I can move past it."

"You'll gonna do good Chapman! I know that. Although, we have a slight problem here." Nicky said, as she looks at the darkening sky of the afternoon. The shift of the weather is ridiculous, as when Piper left the sun is up and shining. Lorna brought only one umbrella fitted enough for her and Nicky. It started to drizzle, as they wait outside and the universe must really hate her, for the cabs surrounding their area seemed to be lacking. Frustration hits Piper, as they view any possible cab lurking around. Then she saw her running towards their direction with a mission in mind.

"Alex?" she saw her first as both Lorna and Nicky look at her direction.

"Hey." Alex said, as she stops in front of Piper and signal to give her a second to catch her breath.

"I thought you couldn't make it Vause?" Nicky asks surprised.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I still couldn't." she said, as Piper's strand of hope vanished. "I know I suck but I also know that you wouldn't bring an umbrella for this weather, so I run across two blocks to give mine and show my support." Alex explains, as her friends were touched by the gesture. Alex didn't like running. But she ran for her, she ran so she could be here, Piper thinks to herself.

"You didn't have to do this."

"I know, but I want to." Nicky caught a cab, as the two converses. She gestures for Piper to hurry or she'll be late.

"I need to go."

"Yeah. I need to run too. Maggie's waiting…Uhm, here…" she hugs Piper tightly, as she wishes her good luck, and tells her she'll drop by later for updates. They said their goodbyes, as Alex run again back to where she comes from. Piper watches her in awe. She felt love. She felt important. I must mean something right? After all, she left Maggie to see her. Piper had a plastered smile, as she joined the cab with her friends.

"I just want to stress that, that's really sweet of Alex. I wish Nicky does that." Lorna said beside her.

"Oh c'mon babe! I'm sweet too."

"Well yeah unspontaneous and mostly only if you need something."

"Fucking mushy Vause!" Nicky said in front.

Piper was quiet but overwhelmingly happy, everything shifts to background noise as her interest only seemed to focus on a wild untamed emotions for Alex Vause.

The audition appears easy for Piper, as she passed it with great confidence. Although there would be a second audition, as there are five of them that made it, and the artist only require one, a celebration was planned by Nicky, as Alex pleaded for her to do. She was swamp in work with lots of things to proof read as an editor in a local paper company. Alex invited Maggie, as Piper gives her approval. Unfortunately, Lorna couldn't make it as she and her sister had plans to go out. They were having dinner and drinks on a restaurant agreed by them. Alex and Maggie are extremely close and Piper made an effort to not show her bruised ego and battered heart. As the night progress and the alcoholic intake continue, the conversation seems to be more relaxed and up beat. Alex and Nicky excused themselves towards the ladies room. Piper was speechless when Maggie asks her about Alex, casually.

"You're her best friend right?"

"Yeah."

"What's Alex like? I mean we go out but I feel like I still didn't knew much about her."

"Uhm…Alex?" her clouded mind seemed to not work.

"Yeah?"

"Ugh…well…for starters, she's like cold coffee in the morning, never a morning person. When she gets up early that's only because she has to or you made her to. She can bear waking up for you but you must soothe her with coffee immediately, before her tantrums starts." They laugh together on the statement, like old friends.

"She's a little bit precise. She knows where she leave something last. Her ulterior may look tough but she's a softie, just don't call her on it cause she doesn't like it. When you fight…let her cool down. She may have said things like a punch in the gut, but trust me…it hurts her more than she hurts you." Maggie observes her as she talks about Alex and it dawns on her, but she keeps it to herself and continues to listen.

"Don't test her patience too much…she might have a long strand, but if it snaps it'll hurt you. She isn't a fan of eating healthy so you must remind her and insist she should. If she gets sad for whatever reason…let her lay her head on your shoulder. She'll talk when she's ready. She may not say it out loud…but you'll feel it…when she loves you…you'll feel it." Her speech ended as she realizes she had rumbled a lot. She suddenly felt conscious but sends a smile to Maggie, as she smiles back. Alex and Nicky comes back and they shared an awkward smile. Alex leans into Piper and questions if everything's fine, as the blonde nods. As their interaction takes place, a knowing eyes gaze on them.

...

As Alex relationship to Maggie progress, the brunette feels like she should always make her a first priority. When people ask about her closeness to Piper, she always say that they're purely platonic, that it's awkward for them to be together, that they're just really close nothing more or less. As the blonde continues to hear it every now and then, it doesn't only make her hurt but it makes her feel that as if she weren't enough for Alex and she wouldn't be deemed enough by anyone. With that on mind, and her rejection on the second audition, the blonde's on a foul mood. It makes it worse when she heard Nicky and Alex talking about the topic again on Nicky and Lorna's apartment. Alex begins to explain again and convince Nicky they're nothing. Her temper rises.

"We're just really close."

"Tell yourself Vause."

"Maggie and I are okay. I really thought she's it."

"Look closely. Sometimes the one you've been searching for your whole life is right in front of you...you just seem to always find a reason to look pass them."

"Nicky…I'm tired o..." Piper burst into the scene even before she finished her sentence.

"Fuck you Alex!" she says abruptly and runs for the door. Alex stops her even before she could leave.

"Why are you mad?"

"It's not such a bad thing to fall in love with me, but you seem to feel like it's the worst thing you'll do." Piper blurts out then pushes Alex away. She runs for the door before Alex could catch her. Alex was flabbergasted. She didn't know what she could have done that makes Piper hate her so much. She looks at Nicky for answers.

"For a person who has four eyes, you're freaking blind." Nicky states.

...

It's been three days since she heard anything from the blonde. This is by far the longest they went to, not be in contact after a fight. Alex is worried. She thought on the night itself Piper will somehow get in touch, as she tries to call and text the blonde. She even went to her apartment but she was not addressed. She was having lunch with Maggie playing with her food and uninterested about her surroundings.

"I was wondering how long you would want to delay the inevitable?"

"What?"

"You know what. Alex, you always knew. You're just afraid to acknowledge it, deeming it ending before it even begins." She was quiet as she tried to process what Maggie says. "You and me both know its piper. You talked about her with stars in your eyes, like she hung the moon and she worships you like a scenic landscape, she would never get tired looking at."

"Sorry. I just…"

"No, go! Go before I change my mind." They look at each other for a while and share a genuine smile. "Go!" Alex dashes out the restaurant, seeking the blonde.

...

She was seating now on the blonde's apartment. She lets her in after an hour of begging, as she seated still on her front door. Piper steers clear of the topic and avoids the brunette's stare, as they sat at the both ends of the couch.

"Pipes, would you look at me please." She begs as she tries to hold her stare. Piper stares upfront for a moment, before she gives in. It broke Alex's heart when she finally looks at her, as her eyes were tired and blood shot red on crying and her cheeks are tear stained. It makes her want to embrace her.

"Have you eaten? You know it's not healthy…"

"Don't! Don't patronize me." Piper says firmly. Alex moves closer to Piper and leans, as she took her hand.

"I'm sorry. Believe me, I never intended to hurt you. You're important to me and I'm scared…I'm frightened to cross this line. I'm terrified of us not working. I can't cross it then lose you, because I would never ever be okay if it happens."

"Are you only saying this because you're now aware of my feelings?"

"Your words hurts you know." She said back.

"Alex.." Piper releases a breath she was holding.

"Do you love me?" Alex asks softly, as silence filled the air for a few seconds.

"Yes." Piper said, as she diverts her eyes on the floor. Alex gently tilts her head and slowly leans in, and kisses her. They parted a little to look at each other, as they express what they really feel.

"Do you love me?" Piper asks uncertain.

"Yes." Alex answers, as she softly kisses her again. Their noses brush on each other gently, as the kiss intensifies. She straddles Alex, as the brunette stands and carry Piper towards her bedroom. She places Piper on the bed gently, as she took her top off followed by her bra and drops it to the floor. She removed Alex's glasses and puts it on the bedside table. She kisses Piper again, as their breath mingled. Alex helps Piper and pulls her top off, as she discarded her own bra. Slowly heaving chests brushed towards each other, as Alex leans over again, and kisses Piper intensely. Her hands travel through her abdomen, as she pulls her shorts asking for entrance. Piper tugs on Alex's jeans as she slides it off. Piper returns the same need as their naked bodies collide. Alex's mouth travels from her neck through her collarbones leaving soft kisses as she pass. Her taut nipples asking for attention was worshiped by Alex's mouth sucking it gently sending shivers to her spine. Her right hand rest dangerously close to Piper's mound making her writhed with anticipation. Alex played with her folds collecting her wetness, as her thumb rubs in circles on her clit. "Aaallll..." she begs as Alex slowly enters her, as she squirms a little adjusting to her fingers. She pumps slowly at first, as Piper moves with the rhythm that she sets. She adds another finger and groans, as Piper moans and the sound of their love making fill the bedroom. Piper murmured, "I love you" to Alex, as she tumbles over the edge in a fog. She was bought to consciousness moments after, as Alex is hovering above her. She she kisses her and said, "I love you too."

"I will take you again." She kisses Piper and said with her pupils dilated making Piper tremble, as desire edges on her. They kiss briefly as she lift Piper's arms and wrap it across her shoulder blades as Piper grips on the base of her neck. Alex's hand slides on her sides to her back. She lifts Piper on a seated position, straddling her. Alex's mouth attaches to the pulse point on her neck and sucks it softly, as their chests brushing lightly. She snakes her hand in between them, as she find Piper's cunt and brushes her folds gently. She moans in delight as Piper gasp, when she enters her the second time. Her fingers pumps smoothly and firmly in and out of Piper's heat, as her other hand holds Piper in steady. Her mouth sucks gently on her right right breast as her tongue swivels around her nipple. She gave the same attention to her left breast, as Piper's clutch on her hair.

"Uhhh…Allleeexx…"she moans through the silence of the bedroom. They kiss long and deep as Alex slides a third finger in, deepening her thrusts. Her hips begin to twitch on the tempo that Alex had set.

"Ahhh…Pipes...Let go, baby." Alex said and kisses her, as Piper begins to whimper. Piper releases a powerful orgasm, as Alex continues to pump in and out of her. She waits until her breath was back to normal, and gave her a tender kiss. She lays her down gently and they lay spent on the bed and cuddled.

"So, we're doing this?" Piper asks in a small voice, as she catches her eye.

"Please don't judge this. I know I've got a lot of proving to do before you finally gasp the idea of me loving you too, but I'm going to make you feel it everyday." Alex said as she brushes her golden locks.

"I'm trying to...just be patient and stay." Piper answers, as she nuzzles Alex neck.

"I don't have any plans on going away. I want to be here…next to you." Alex said as she kisses her again, and they continue making passionate love throughout the night.

...

The days dragged by as they continue to get closer as they could ever possibly be, more than they already are. People are aware now that they're dating, as they continue to catch people's eyes. Dating involves patience, a lot of patience especially when you're dating Alex Vause. Past lovers resurface, as they were intrigue by the brunette's new object of affection. They were on the store of organic juices one time, as they continue to converse on their own little world. Piper and her were on line waiting to be served, as a gorgeous red head approach Alex.

"Hey, Alex!" Alex faces away from Piper and glance towards the voice.

"Oh, hey Sandra."

"How are you? Long time no see."

"Yeah I know. Sorry I was just busy. Ugh, this is Piper. My girlfriend." She said as she puts her arm on her shoulder. The conversation continues as they updated each other on their lives. Alex never really made her feel left out. Her hand is on her back rubbing in circles, soothing the blonde. The red head bid them farewells after a while, as they continue to wait in line. As they stand on the line, she told Alex about the audition but the brunette makes her feel better, as she whispers sweet nothings to Piper and say sarcastic comments sometimes, making the blonde snort in laughter. Piper feels overwhelmingly happy. When Alex faces at the other side to see how long before they'll be served, she rest her nose at the back of the brunettes shoulder, smelling her scent of vanilla and blueberry, she snakes her arms around her waist, as she kiss Alex on her back. Alex looks back at her and leans, as she waited for her kiss. They shared a peck and as Piper looks around, she saw few people looking back at them and smiling. She hides her face a little on Alex's shoulder, as she blushed bright red.

...

Saturday came and they were in Watering Hole as usual. Piper was late because she has a deadline to finish for her job in the advertising firm. She came in conversing with a young man and they said goodbye after she locked eyes with Alex. She walks on their table, greeted her friends and pecks her. Alex stands up to let her slide further in the seat, as they were seating beside the wall. They sat down and started to converse.

"I ordered grilled salmon for you and just water…do you want anything else?" Alex whispered. Their faces are inches apart and in an intense eye lock.

"No, thanks that's great. Maybe later." She speaks as she rubs her hand on the brunette's thighs. Alex nods in silence, as her brows furrows making Piper realize she's thinking about something.

"What's wrong?"

"Who's the…uhm…who's the guy? She asks timidly. Piper smiles as she realizes Alex is jealous.

"Oh, no one…just some admirer." She said jokingly, as the brunette's stare hardens.

"I'm joking babe. He's just a colleague…friends are here too." Piper points out.

"Oh…yeah." Alex said, as she faces on the way where Piper's pointing at.

"Don't get jealous. I'm all taken."

"I'm not jealous!"

"Really?" she probes, mocking Alex's statement.

"No." Alex said on a voice higher than usual. Piper waits, as she stayed silent.

"I wasn't...I was never jealous...just now." Piper laughs on Alex's claim. They giggled, as she grabs Alex in the arm and playfully bites at her shoulder. Alex was about to say something but before she could, the blonde grabs both of her cheeks on one hand, pulls her over and pecks her. They burst on another fit of laughter.

"So…any favorite song now?" Nicky teases them, as they continue to block out their surroundings.

"Piper's my favorite song." The brunette says, as she teases the blonde. Piper blushed hard making Lorna laugh.

"Shut up! You're killing me." Nicky said.

"I'm killing you with my sweetness?"

"Yes! You're making me diabetic." The teasing continues all through the night. Alex is madly in love. She was glad she made a right choice. She glances at the blonde beside her, as she feels warm and content. She concludes, that some lines are meant to be crossed.
