Free In Litchfield - Nicky Nichols x female oc (OITNB)

Chapter Eight

Lacey woke up later than normal that morning, sleeping in a little after not being able to sleep for most of the night. The memories her argument with Nicky had woken up had run through her mind as she lay in her bed, so she forced herself to fight off the sleep so she wouldn't wake up with a nightmare.

Also, lucky for Lacey, Nicky had already left the cube, which made it so much easier for Lacey to avoid her.

After showering there was still no sign of Nicky, and Lacey thought that maybe Nicky was even going to be gone for breakfast, so maybe they wouldn't have to see each other until lunch.

It was until Lacey was walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel when she heard grunting in the shower stall she was passing.

Inside the stall, she saw Nicky wrapped in a towel, eating out a moaning naked girl Lacey didn't recognize. Nicky looked up from between the girl's legs, making eye contact with Lacey.

Lacey rolled her eyes and walked away, not before watching Nicky's eyes squint in a mischievous smile.

There was a feeling in Lacey's chest as she changed in her cube. It sort of felt like jealousy, but Lacey had no idea why she would be feeling like that.

She shrugged it off, blaming it on the fact that she was probably just thinking about how her options for sex were going to be pretty limited for the next three years, and seeing Nicky in the shower had triggered that.

It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that it was Nicky in the shower.

In the dining hall, Lacey sat down with Piper and Lorna, hoping Nicky wouldn't come over and join them.

For a couple minutes, breakfast was pleasant and Nicky didn't cross Lacey's mind once, until Piper asked Lacey where Nicky was.

Lacey shrugged, pretending she didn't care, and that she hadn't seen the redhead in the shower that morning. "Haven't seen her this morning."

Piper paused, looking at her curiously, obviously sensing Lacey's weird mood.

It couldn't've been more perfect timing that Alex just happened to sit down then, swinging an arm around her girlfriend protectively. "I actually saw Nicky in the showers this morning. She was fucking this random girl. I was surprised for second because I figured she would be fucking Lacey by now."

Piper and Lorna seemed to be caught by surprise by Alex's hostile tone, unaware that Lacey and the tall women hadn't exactly been getting along.

Lacey wasn't bothered to fight with Alex that early in the morning, especially when it was already off to a bad start, so she stood up wordlessly, leaving the dining hall.

She returned to her cube, preparing to grab her notebook quickly and leave if she saw Nicky in her bed. She relaxed when she entered the cube though, happy to see that Nicky wasn't there, and she could relax by herself for a little.

Her tranquility was disturbed however, when she heard her and Nicky's name being called to the electrical room.

She swore under her breath. It was Saturday. She wasn't supposed to be working today, and now she had to work probably alone with Nicky.

The electrical room was empty except for Luschek when Lacey walked in, and she almost hoped that Nicky wasn't going to show at all, until she heard the door open behind her and Nicky's voice grumbling, "What?"

Nicky came to stand next to her, but still keeping a safe distance.

"There's a broken washing machine you guys need to fix," Luschek said boredly. He threw a large handbook on the table in front of them. "Here, use this."
