The Queen and her

Chapter 13

Nickys POV:

I woke up to a hand on my face and Lorna snoring next to me. I smirked, pleased with our antics last night.  Then, I remembered what I did. My throat suddenly got dry and constricted. I didn't want Vause to know, but I feared her. She has killed thousands of people, she's been in a dozen wars. I love her, she's my best friend, but I'm still scared of her, like I should be.

Knowing I let piper be in danger, and the fact I didn't even check up on her.. the queen would kill me. I'm worried that, as Alex cares so much about Piper, she could end up doing things she regrets for Piper.

You rarely know when you're going to die, and if I didn't die in the coming war, I'd die because of the Queen anyways.

Pipers POV:

I was warm, and my pillow was soft and I felt calm for the first time in a while. This whole lifestyle was exhausting to me. I've learnt more about myself in a week with the Queen than I have in years at home.

I felt slightly calloused hands massage my back, and I let out a little moan of relaxation

"Mm"

Suddenly my pillow started laughing, making my head go up and down in rhythm with her laughter. I opened my eyes and saw Alex looking down at me, showing me her smile she kept aside just for me.

"Morning Pipes. Did you sleep well?" She asks while stroking my arm. Her glasses were on, so I knew she had been up for a while. I nestled myself back onto her chest, breathing in her scent. She was more comfortable than any pillow I've ever had, her large breast cushioning my face perfectly.

"Mm yes" I mumbled back my reply.

She laughed again. "We need to get up, Ive got some royal duties to attend to, as well as a couple of meetings. Tonight we are going to the theatre, so wear something nice. We are leaving at 8, and important people are going, it's vital we get on with them. Some of these people are powerful in my kingdom, and they're good allies to have. You've got the day by yourself..I'm sorry, but there's plenty to do. Please don't leave the castle."

I nodded, "Okay, what are we seeing at the theatre?"

"Grease."

"I love that musical!"

"And so do I" She kisses my forehead. She slowly gets out of bed, and I'm left cold without her. She walks into the bathroom and closes the door, I hear running water and some humming, i opened the rooms door to go get my clothes from my old room, when I was stopped by a uncomfortable looking guard "Miss, your belongings are in Her Majesty's room"

"Oh, thank you"I smiled and came back into Alex's room, locking the door behind me. Alex was still in the shower, and I contemplated going in there or not, but I was desperate for the toilet. As soon is I opened the bathroom door, her humming stopped. It was so steamy I could barely see, but I managed to make my way to the toilet.

"Sorry Al.. I couldn't hold it any longer" I was going red, relieved Alex couldn't see me I was so embarrassed.

"Come join me" her husky voice replied.

"W-What?"

"Get in the shower with me, I know how much you love showers..and it would mean you could try see Danny sooner"

I was slightly surprised she remembered Danny, but flabbergasted that she wanted me to get in with her, she was naked, I WOULD be naked.

"It's fine thanks Al"

"Piper, get in. Now"

I felt slightly scared, but I wouldn't succumb to her. "No alex, I said it's fine thank you."
