"An inmate from litchfield federal prison is attempting to contact you to accept this call please press 1."

"1"

"Hey Pipes"

"Hey Alex how are you?"

"Tired but fine. But hey I've got some good news!" Alex sounds excited.

"You really don't sound too well Al, are you sure you are okay? Oh and me too do you want to start?" Piper asks worried.

"I'm fine don't worry because soon I will be better!" Alex says lowkey excited.

"What are you talking about Alex?" Piper asks confused.

"Sit down, prepare yourself for some good ass news!" Alex almost shouts jumping up and down.

"Inmate! Quiet and calm or call time is over!" The guard warns Alex.

"Sorry!" Alex fakes a polite smile.

"Okay so what is this huge thing you have to tell me?" Piper starts to get nervous.

"You need to relax babe. It's not a big deal it's just that my sentence got cut short by half a year for good behaviour." Alex tells Piper like it's no big deal.

"OH MY GOD ALEX WHAT?! HOW ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT IT?? WHAT THE FUCK AL I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!" Piper screams into her phone running around her flat out of excitment.

"Pipes I am freaking the fuck out you have no idea. Like fuck I will be out of here by November 2018 instead of early 2019 that's literally only about 6 more months right?" Alex tells Piper unsure of how accurate her maths really are.

"Yes Al it's so soon! Let me know when to pick you up so I can make sure I will be there because you know book tour and all that, I have a pretty tight schedule." Piper says a little calmer.

"You don't have to pick me up if you don't have time! That book stuff is important to you as it is to me, I mean if you get rich I will never have to work again!" Alex says laughing.

"You have one more minute inmate!"

"Shit. Okay as important as becoming rich is to me you are more important, so let me know the day before or so and speaking of my book! I will see you again sooner than you think!" Piper says confusing Alex.

"Wait what how? We see each other every week in visitation is that what you mean?" Alex questions.

"Basically but with a little bit more touching." Piper says quickly before time runs out.

"What? Piper you are confusing me what are you talking about? Please don't land yourself back in here I'm serious!" Alex says worried.

"Wrap it up Vause!" The guard orders.

"No time to explain now. I will see you soon hopefully. I love you and please get some sleep!" Piper says with a soft caring voice.

"Alright, I love you too and I will." Alex smiles.

"Hang up Vause, now!" The guard rips the phone out of Alex's hand.

Alex's pov

"What in hell was that? What kind of plan did she make up again? This woman I swear to christ." I laugh to myself as I make my way to D block.

"Hey Vause did you forget which block you are in?" Nicky teases me.

"Ha ha very funny, no I came here to hang out with your dumb ass." I say as I push Nicky in a banter kind of way.
