The Queen and her

Chapter 3

Pipers POV:

Piper woke up, slightly startled as she forgot where she was. Then, she remembered.

Piper escaped into her bathroom and splashed her face with water, attempting to wake her up and focus, to stop dwelling on the past.

Piper remembered what Lorna said, and consequently rang the bell to let her maid know she was awake. Piper had a nightmare last night, she dreamt the Queen was slowly painfully killing her. Piper shuddered. Not nice.

A maid slowly but tentatively entered pipers room. "Hey Miss.. Her Majesty requests your presents in the dining hall.. please can you get dressed and go down their immediately? Don't worry, you'll get some food." The maid chuckled. The maid had short black hair, and dark skin.

"Okay" piper somehow managed to get out.

"My names Poussey.. I'm your head maid Miss. welcome home"

"Thanks Poussey, my names Piper. I can't believe it's my home.."

"Me neither Piper, now cmon! You're gunna get me in trouble if you ain't down there soon." Poussey chuckled.

Piper let out a small blush and smile, asked for privacy to get changed and opened the wardrobe.

Piper snorted when she saw its contents. All silly princess like frilly dresses. She'd look like a fool..

Piper opened the chest of drawers. Thankfully the clothing in there was better.

Piper put on her bra and underwear, and pulled on some brown leather trousers. She then put a white shirt on, tucked it into the trousers and put some leather boots on her feet. Piper called Poussey back in.

"Umm.. Poussey? I'm changed.. where should I put my dirty clothes?" Piper asked feeling embarrassed.

"Hey, don't worry about it! That little basket there, maids will come and take the clothes an wash em. Now let's get you downstairs shall we! You'll be lost for a while if you go alone.. I heard her Majesty booked the entire day off to spend with you." Poussey winked, and Piper immediately felt uneasy.

"But don't worry about it, Her Majesty will either talk to you and allow you to be her mistress, or allow you to work here"

Either option was terrifying to Piper, but piper nodded and followed Poussey.

After a few minuets of walking through the palace (which seemed more like a maze), they finally arrived to the dinning hall.

"This is where I leave you.. good luck girl." Poussey smiled at me and walked off.

I tenderly opened the doors, and closed them making sure I didn't look at the Queen or the room itself.

I awkwardly stood facing the door for a second or two before facing my fears, and I turned around.

My eyes were met with gorgeous emerald eyes, behind black glasses. I let out a small smile seeing the Queen wearing glasses, because she was rumoured to be all powerful.. and I knew she wasn't all powerful if she couldn't even fix her sight.

I slowly and carefully approached the table, which was scattered with pastries, cereals, eggs, bacon, orange juice.. nearly everything imaginable for breakfast.

"Hey" The Queen said softly. Her voice was slightly husky, and deep, almost rough because of the morning.

I realised I'd been staring at her for too long, and clumsily bowed. The Queen let out a little laugh because of how bad I did it, and hearing her laugh was delightful.

"Please, sit" she gestured to a chair close to her on the table, I obliged.

"What's your name?" The Queen asked

"Piper.. P-Piper Chapman" I stuttered. Dammit! She knew i was afraid.. I'm making a fool of myself piper thought.

"Your Majesty" I quickly added.

"Please, call me Alex" The Queen said.

"Yes, sorry.. Alex" I let out a small smile, which was reflected by Alex's smile too.

"Please, help yourself. I didn't know what you'd like, so I have various options for you.." Alex bit her lip, almost looking unsure. But her expression changed back to more distant and Royal like.

"Thank you Alex, I mainly like fruits and cereals and toast.. but I've only had pancakes once before. And they look sooo good" I said almost dreamily, and piled them on my plate.

Alex was staring at me, a corner of her lips came up slightly. We both ate for a few minuets, letting the silence build to a point Piper almost found it deafening.. she wanted to get the conversation done with, and quickly.

Piper then somehow managed to ask "when do you want me to come up to your room and have sex with you?" And piper stared at her hands and began to fiddle with her fingers.

Alex looked taken aback.
"Excuse me?"

"I-I'm sorry. I just thought that's my.. job now."

"No.." Alex said softly, then sternly "it isn't. You're a guest here in the palace. I'd like to get to know you.. and I'd like you to be my date to formal businesses and balls.. but if you don't want to, you can become a maid" Alex almost said angrily.

"Oh.. I'm.. so.. sorry Alex. I would love to be your date and get to know you too. Are you sure that's okay?"

"Yes" Alex replied curtly.

They continued eating until their plates were empty.

Piper didn't realise, but Alex was staring at her. No one ever came down not wearing a dress before, Alex pondered. Piper seems different.

Alex has never asked anyone to be her date before, and nor has she bothered getting to know her women. But piper again.. made Alex want to know who this girl is.

Alex suddenly said, surprising Piper. "Tell me about your family and childhood"
Piper just started rambling on about it, thinking it was boring but Alex was enchanted and a very good listener, she even seemed interested.

".. and that's how I'm here now I guess" piper finished talking.

"Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm sorry your childhood was difficult and you've had to.. come here. But I promise, it will be worth while" Alex said, with a twinkle in her eye.

"Go freshen up, I'll be outside your door in ten minutes. I'm going to give you a tour" Alex spontaneously decided.

"Okay, I'll just.. go then." Piper smiled and left, practically running upstairs, getting slightly lost but eventually finding her rooms to brush her teeth. Alex seemed nice, Piper thought.

Alex watched Piper walk away. She had long, fine legs and a peachy butt, Alex was definitely attracted to her, and she found Piper extremely interesting. Pipers words didn't fall on deaf ears with Alex.

Alex eventually left to wait outside Pipers door, knocked and when the door finally opened, she was met by piper smiling a wide dimpled smile, which somehow made Alex's knees grow weak. This is not good Alex realised.
