"Was that your first orgasm? If it was, I'm truly honored." Aaliyah smiles, leaning against the bookshelf. Janae looks at the girl in disbelief as she tried to control her breathing. "I'm like completely naked in front of you and that's the first thing you're gonna say to me after you just fucked me?" Janae scoffs lightly.

Aaliyah smirks, "You never answered the question." Janae glanced at her, rolling her eyes in response. "Ohh, I will take that as a yes. It's like I got superpowers now." Aaliyah jokes, getting Janae to bite back her laugh. "Okay, we should probably go now." Janae says.

Aaliyah shook her head, pushing her back down. "No, no, I'm not done with you. We're not even close to being done love." Aaliyah pulls off her shirt, leaning over the girl. "When I'm done with you. You won't be able to run or walk properly for at least a day. I would say two, but I think people would start to notice so I'll go easy." Aaliyah places a peck on Janae's shoulder, going down to her chest as Janae let out soft groans.

"You got half an hour to do that. So I'd hurry up."

Aaliyah and Janae made it back to their bunks for count. Standing outside her bunks, Janae held up herself on the wall, still very sore, and not from running. Liyah slid Poussey the keys to the library before heading to her bunk, standing outside of it, across from Janae. Aaliyah watched with a smile as Cindy and a new inmate named Alison went back an forth.

"Okay, that's it for count. Remember, we have a meeting in the chapel in five minutes. Everyone should be walking." Aaliyah walked forward, taking Janae's hand and walking with her toward the chapel. "I'm too tired for this shit," Janae mumbles, stepping down the stairs as Liyah led them towards their seats next to Taystee, Suzanne, Poussey and Soso. "Should've thought about that before you asked me to fuck you," Liyah whispered into her ear, pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

Janae rolls her eyes, laying her head on Liyah's shoulder. Taystee shouts Mr. Caputo's name when he's on the stage, getting a few snickers and claps. "Morning ladies. For those of you who don't know, I am Mr. Caputo, and I am the Director of Human Activity here at Litchfield. This is CO Piscatella." Mr. Caputo gestured to the tall man holding a white box.

"He looks like a homo," Aaliyah comments, getting a small snicker from Janae.

"I have asked him to stay here at camp as our new Captain of the Guards. It's my old job." Mr. Caputo continued. Poussey shouted Judy King's name. Liyah had just found out Judy was staying at the prison that noon from Poussey. "So...things have gotten a little crowded around her, huh? We at MCC are aware that new situations can be trying for you ladies. So we called this meeting to let you know of the measures we're taking for your comfort and safety."

"If they wanted us to be comfortable, they shouldn't have stuffed this place like the crowded room." Aaliyah mumbles. "What's the crowded room?" Janae whispered. "I don't know. I made it up," Liyah shrugged.

"For instance, porta-potties have been installed out in the yard to take some of the...strain from the bathrooms." He paused from the amount of complaints. "At this point, I rather get sent to Max. There's no way in hell I'm using those. There could be so many diseases, let alone how unsanitary it is." Aaliyah complains. Janae chuckles, wondering when Liyah became a sudden germaphobe.

"Side note, porta-potty maintenance will be an additional responsibility for our janitorial jobs crew." Taystee visibly showed her disgust whilst Suzanne pumped her fist in happiness. A blonde girl inmate, sitting next to Taylor, asked a question, "We gonna get jobs?"

"Job assignments for new inmates is still under review. We'll get to that at a future time." He answered, getting a few mumbled complaints. "MCC realizes it can be challenging living with this many people. But we thought ahead. And today, on your way out, each of you will receive..." Caputo takes a small baggie from Piscatella, "a free pair of earplugs."
He received yet more complaints.

"They really didn't think any of this through," Aaliyah states.

"You just pop these babies in, lie back in your bunk, and it's...like you're on a desert island." Aaliyah rolls her eyes, "Except we're not, cause this is prison you wanker!" Janae laughs, Liyah's comment getting laughs from others as well.

"Where is Sophia Burset?" Sister Jane spoke up, getting a few agreements from inmates of her question.

Mr. Caputo chooses to ignore this question. "We also have a plan in place for stress management in these transitional times. Breathing exercises. Calm you right down. CO Piscatella, please." Caputo steps back to let Piscatella step forward.

"Okay, so, we are going to inhale on a count of five, hold it for five, then exhale on a count of five, okay? Repeat after me." Piscatella inhales deeply, though nobody was really paying attention to him. He pulls out a horn, Liyah quickly covers Janae's ears as he blared it. Everyone all let out a small gasp, holding their ears from the sudden blaring.

"What a fucking prick," Aaliyah scoffs, moving her hands from Janae's ears.

"I'm sorry, did that sound in any way optional? Because it could save your life one day. Now...inhale!" The majority inhaled, and the other half didn't seem to care so much. Once it was done, everyone immediately left, majority not caring to take the earplugs.

Alec sat down on the chair in the visitation room, two sodas on the table as he waited. He glanced at the window, hoping to see Aaliyah, but nothing. Janae walked in, and he stood up, "Janae? It's lovely to finally meet you." He smiled warmly, sticking out his hand. She hesitantly took it, shaking his hand. They both sat down, it was awkward for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, I just... I don't really know you that well and it's weird without Aaliyah here." Janae mumbled. Alec nods understandably, "No, I get it. First introductions are always awkward. I'm just glad we're finally able to meet." Janae nods in agreement. "May I ask where Aaliyah is? I was expecting her at the window."

"Ah, yeah, she's uh, she's at lunch right now. She has a habit of skippin' so I made her go." Janae explained. Alec hums, "Makes sense. She used to skip all the time and then I'd find her eating a four course meal in the middle of the night." They both share a chuckle. "I can see that. She's always snackin' on something in the middle of the night. It's one of her few flaws."

"So how's that going? The relationship, I mean." Alec asks, knowing how Aaliyah could be. She wasn't always the greatest girlfriend in the world. Hopefully it was different with Janae. "It's actually pretty good. I honestly didn't expect her to be so...uh, caring and gentle, you know? And if she wasn't protective before, she certainly is now."

"That's good to hear. My sister doesn't have the best history when it comes to..relationships." Alec explains. Janae knit her brows, confusion across her features, "What do you mean? Like she abusive or somethin'?"

Alec shook his head quickly, "Gosh no. She would never do that. I mean, she's not very good at relationships because of the family dynamic with my mother. She's not good with her feelings, and especially with other people's feelings. Every time something gets a little too real, she'll break up with the person. I doubt that'll happen with you though. You two seem good for each other."

"I don't know how I could be good for her to be real with you," Janae admits.

"Janae, you definitely are. You changed her, and it may not seem as though but, you did. I honestly would've thought she'd been sent to Max by now with how bad her anger issues are. You're the reason she's still here. You distract her and calm her down. Nobody is able to do that. Not even me." Alec claims, pointing to himself. It was true. Aaliyah probably would've been in Max already had she not spent her time focused on getting Janae to be hers.

Janae smiled to herself, glad she was able to help Liyah keep her cool. "Hey uh, Alec?" He nods, urging her to go on. "Can you tell me what went down between Liyah and this girl Taylor Martin?"

Alec froze for a slight second, Janae catching that. "May I ask why?"

"Yeah, cause Taylor got transferred here and apparently they got a history," Janae shrugged. Alec frowns, wondering why Liyah didn't mention this over the phone. "I'm surprised she didn't mention that. Uh, Taylor is the daughter of the man my mother cheated with. But when Taylor found out her father was cheating on her mother, she planned some kind of revenge thing. She got herself transferred to Liyah's school and they dated, from what I recall."

"Taylor used her, very badly. Screwed her up a little bit. She told the entire school about our mother being unfaithful and leaked very private pictures of Aaliyah. So we had to move cause the bullying became too much for Liyah but she could never really escape it. Taylor completely broke her heart. She was never the same after. It's another reason she hates our mother so much." Alec finished explaining.

Janae rubbed her jaw, the story making a lot of sense. It's definitely why Liyah lost control and punched Taylor. Now she herself wanted to beat the fuck out of Taylor. "It makes a lot of sense now. She uh, she punched her the other night and got her removed from my bunk." Alec's eyes widened slightly, he signed, rubbing his face. "Janae, this girl brings out the worst in Liyah. Don't let Liyah lose control if you can help it."

"I won't. I'll stop her. You ain't gotta worry about that. And she ain't the only one who has a vendetta against Taylor. I heard the Spanish girls fucked her and some girl up in the salon." Janae shrugged. Honestly, that's what she gets for messing with the wrong crowd. The Hispanic girls did not fuck around, especially considering they were the majority in the prison now.

"Shit, then she probably deserved it. As long as Liyah isn't involved in that shit, then we're good." Janae nods in agreement, not wanting Liyah involved in those dumb ass wars like what happened with Vee. "Is this for me?" Janae pointed to the unopened soda can.

"Oh yeah, sorry, it's habits. Liyah told me to get her one everytime I visited." Alec chuckles. Janae smiled for a second, "sounds like her."

"Aaliyah's staying clean, right?" Alec questions suddenly. Janae blinks at the sudden question, a bit confused by what he meant. "What are you talkin' 'bout?" She asks as she takes a sip from the soda can.

Alec scratches his jaw with a sigh. "Bloody hell. She didn't tell you, did she?"

"Tell me what?"

"She used to use, like badly. She had an overdose a little before she and Nicky split. I've just been a little worried cause I know how prison can be." Alec explained. It definitely wasn't his place to tell her but as she was Liyah's girlfriend, she did technically have a right to know. He knew Liyah was gonna gonna go off on him but at least then, Janae would know.

Janae honestly kinda figured that out already. She just needed a little confirmation. It wasn't super shocking. She figured it out when Liyah had been taking care of Soso. "Wait, hold up, you said you know how prison can be? Like you got locked up or somethin'?"

"Yup. I did a year in Federal for assault. I fucked up Liyah's dealer after her overdose." Alec shrugged. He didn't regret either. It actually made him a better lawyer too since he knew how prison was from a personal perspective. "I'm sorry, you're not surprised that Liyah used?" He knit his brows, feigning confusion.

"Nah, I kinda figured it out. She's hasn't been using though, she's clean. They haven't had drugs in here for a while anyways so you ain't gotta worry 'bout her." Janae shrugs, taking another drink of her soda.

Alec intertwined his hands. "So, I have something extremely important to tell you. I planned to tell Aaliyah, but I'm gonna hold off until I know for sure. I don't wanna get her hopes up." Well, if Janae wasn't already confused, she certainly was now. What could this possibly be about now? And why was there so much shit happening in Liyah's life? It was hard to keep up.

"Aight, what it is?"

"Our father is taking this new treatment and...the doctors have a feeling it's gonna work." Janae grew a smile at the news, knowing just how much Aaliyah loved her father. "Oh shit. She's gon' be like hella excited." Alec chuckles, nodding. "Well she can't know yet. We've been through this before and she's kinda lost hope. I wanna tell her when know for sure that he's in remission."

Janae nods understandably. "Okay, my mouth is shut. Won't say a word."

"Brilliant, thank you. I should probably get going, my fiancé's waiting in the car." Alec said. Janae nodded, standing up, "well, it was cool meetin' you." She stuck out her hand this time, Alec took it with a grateful smile, "It was lovely too meet you as well. Tell Liyah I definitely approve. Cheers." Janae watched as he walked out, noticing Liyah run over to the window.

Liyah frowned not seeing her brother, but her smile grew when Janae gave her a thumbs up.
