Almost finished editing the next chapter, so shouldn't have a long wait this time. Please keep reviewing and enjoy!
Alex had spotted her as soon as she walked towards the bar. She turned towards Nicky to shield her face. Shit. She picked up a shot and necked it. Placing the glass down she took another.
"Easy there kid, you won't be able to drink like you used to".
Alex eyed the rest of the tray. Fuck. She looked discreetly over her shoulder, Piper was talking to Pete behind her and hadn't noticed her yet. She eyed the door and bit her lip before returning her gaze to Nicky.
"Whats wrong?" Nicky placed her hand on Alex's arm. Alex closed her eyes and composed herself.
"She's here".
"Who?".
"Piper" she whispered.
Nicky peered around Alex and took a look at the woman she had learnt about over the many years. Alex wasn't very open about Piper. All she knew was that Alex had loved her, and that she had broke her heart.
"Well kid, you just gotta pick yourself up, and brush yourself off, and turn on that charm" She winked. "That girl gotta see you ain't some pussy. She left you. You owe her nothing".
Alex exhaled deeply and turned around. Pete hand gone and Pipers back was facing her. Standing tall, she smoothed down her top, straightened her jacket and walked up behind her. Piper was taking a sip of her drink. Margarita, still fucking predictable.
"It's a little cold outside for a margarita don't you think?".
She noticed Piper freeze. This was it. Slowly she turned. She noticed Pipers eyes room up her body, and momentarily stop at her breasts. Alex looked at Piper's face, she could see the want in her eyes. Interesting. She raised her eyebrow and smirked.
Their eyes locked. Blue met green. Time stood still and it was just the two of them. Piper was the first to speak.
"Hey" she muttered softly.
Alex subtly shook her head, allowing her hair to fall back out of her face.
"Hey".
They searched each others eyes and Alex took a step forward. The closeness was intoxicating for both women, it felt as if all the air had been sucked out the room and they were being drawn closer like a pair of magnets. Piper leaned in closer. She ran her hand gently through Alex's hair.
"The blues gone".
Alex raised her hand and followed the path Piper had made down her tresses until their fingers touched. A charge travelled through each of the women, flowing throughout their bodies. Piper could feel goosebumps erupting all over her body. She swiftly drew her hand away.
This brought Alex to her senses. She pushed her glasses up her nose slightly.
"Its been ten years and thats the first thing you've got to say to me?".
This seemed to snap Piper out of her daze.
"I'm just a little surprised to see you here".
Alex smirked. "A little? The last time we saw each other it was 3,500 miles away, and you stormed out of the room and then completely out my life. And all you can ask me about is my hair?".
She waited on Pipers reaction. She noticed a small grin appear on her face.
"What can I say, I'm shallow".
"I see that foot in mouth disease is still treating you well". She pushed her glasses into her hair.
"You still make me nervous, just you being here, it doesn't even feel real". Piper finished the rest of her drink. "I think i'll be needing another one of these". She turned her back to Alex and walked up to the bar again.
Alex cautiously walked up behind her and placed an arm either side of her and gripped onto the edge of the bar. Leaning in close to her, she gently pressed herself against Pipers back.
"Does it feel real now?".
Piper felt her nipples go hard at the contact. Fuck. This can't be happening. Subconsciously she felt herself lean back into Alex's embrace. She closed her eyes.
"Al…".
Before Alex could reply they were interrupted.
"Pipes, is this woman bothering you?".
At the sound of his voice, Piper's heart sunk. He has the worst timing ever. She quickly untangled herself from Alex's embrace and went and stood next to Larry. He quickly put his arm around her, pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. A move which wasn't unnoticed by Alex.
Fucking dweeb. She looked him up and down. He had short curly hair, a large nose, was wearing a shirt and a sweater vest and fitted pants. Who the fuck wears knitted vests. She rolled her eyes. She could feel Pipers eyes burning into her.
"Did she look bothered to you?". More like hot and bothered.
She noticed Larry's jaw clench, his small eyes searching her face.
"The thing is Piper is too polite to inform you that your not the sort of company she would usually keep".
Alex pulled her glasses back down, and set them flush against her nose. Rising to full height, she used this to her advantage and towered over Larry.
"Yeah, and what would you know about who Piper likes?" she smirked.
"Well I am her boyfriend".
"No kidding champ". She turned towards the bar. Fuck this. Where the fuck is Nichols.
"Larry, Alex is an old friend" Piper finally interjected.
"You've never mentioned her" Larry frowned.
Alex turned her head. "Thats because I'm the invisible woman". She looked at Piper. "As fun as this little reunion has been, I'm not being the third fucking wheel on the your ride tonight Pipes" With that she picked up her drink and sauntered off.
"What was that supposed to mean".
"Nothing Larry. You order and go over to the table". She pointed towards the corner booth where Polly and Pete were sat. " I'll be over in a minute I just need to go and sort myself out". She smile at him sweetly.
She walked in the direction of the ladies and Larry watched her until she was out of sight.
This cant be fucking happening. Piper sighed. She washed her hands and dabbed some cold water on the back of her neck. Pull yourself together. Yeah she looks good…More than good. Don't go there Piper.
She turned to grab a paper towel and realised she wasn't alone anymore. Alex was stood blocking the door in all her sexy glory. Fuck.
"So sweater vest seems nice…" she slowly walked towards Piper slightly swaying her hips. " A bit clingy for you though isn't he? I wouldn't of thought that was your type".
"You don't know what my type is". Don't look her in the eye. Do NOT do it Piper.
"Sure I do". Alex kept walking, gently placing her hands onto Piper's shoulders and backing her up against the wall. Piper felt the cold tiles press harshly against her warm skin.
"You like hot people. You like someone you can show off" Alex began.
"You like someone with a hot body". She ran a hand down Pipers arm and grabbed her hand. Entwining their fingers she hovered them above her chest.
"You like someone who touches in all the right places". She slowly brought their hands down over the curve of her breast, almost touching, but not quite. She leant forward towards her ear. "You like some who makes you feel in all the right places" she whispered.
Piper licked her lips. She felt Alex slide her leg between hers and press into her.
"Alex…" She said in a breathy tone. " I can't do this".
"Can't or won't?". She ran her tongue slowly up her neck, placing kisses up her jaw, and softly nipping at the skin. She pulled Pipers earlobe into her mouth and bit down gently.
Piper felt wetness pool between her legs. Holy fuck. She let out a small moan.
Alex raised her hands and placed them either side of Pipers shoulders on the wall. She straightened up to face her. They were almost nose to nose now. Pipers heart was racing. She stared deep into her eyes.
"Alex I…".
"Piper! What the fuck is going on in here?!".
Polly had walked in. Piper roughly shoved Alex away from her and started smoothing down her outfit.
"Nothing Pol, I was just coming. Nothing happened". She grabbed Polly's hand and started to pull her out the door.
"Nice to see you too Holly" Alex sarcastically remarked, pushing herself away from the wall.
Polly froze.
"Fucking Supercunt?!". She spun Piper around. "Are you fucking serious?!".
"Supercunt? Thats new! And yeah, it really fucking is you should try it sometime" Nicky was now in the doorway. "Come on stretch, Lorna wants you. Wedding business". She turned and walked off motioning for her to follow.
"I guess i'll be seeing you around Pipes". She winked and sauntered off in Nicky's direction.
"Piper Chapman, I think we need a serious fucking talk. I am so unbelievably mad at you right now!".
Piper fidgeted with her hands and avoided looking her. "I know Pol, just not now. I need to get back to Larry".
"Oh now you remember you have a boyfriend". She sighed. "Alright, I'll let it slide for now, but only because I need to get wasted before later. But tomorrow you bring the coffee, i'll bring the pastries and we are having a serious fucking chat". She grabbed Piper by the hand and dragged her back into the bar.
I can't fucking wait.
