Behind Closed Doors (Tibette)

The Break

*Season 1 of The L Word has finished and now everyone is enjoying their break, together and apart. What's in store for Jennifer and Laurel after Laurel finally admitted how she truly feels about Jennifer?*

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laurel's p.o.v

It has already been three weeks since we finished shooting The L Word and all I can think about is jennifer...... Jennie... Jen. How could I be in love with my co-star? Am I even in love? Maybe i'm confused. Idk. Whatever this is, I can never show or say how I truly feel. Jen would think i'm insane. She'd never work on The L Word again. Besides, she's the straightest person I know. Well....maybe I can change that. No. No. Laurel don't get any ideas. You have self control. Ugh. Fuck. I can't believe this.

Jennifer's p.o.v

It's been four weeks since we finished and all I can think about is Laurel. She's such an amazing friend. I miss being able to confide in her about anything. Maybe I should call her and ask her if she wants to hang out some time. After all, i'm off for the next month or two.

Laurel's p.o.v

*Laurel is reading on her bed and hears the phone ringing. She sees the caller ID as Jennifer*

Fuck. Why is she calling me. Does she know? Of course not. Do I answer? Yes. Answer and act as if everything is casual. Don't let your love for her seep through the phone, please.

"Hey Jen," I say anxiously.

"Hey, what's up" Jen replies.

"You called me," I say.

Idk if that came off as bitchy or silly.

"I'm just here reading, " I say in attempts to cover up my last statement.

"Ok, anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime. I really miss you and we need to catch up. I have soooo many things to tell you," Jen says.

She misses me? Really?

"I miss you too babe." I say

FUCK.

"I mean... I meant Jen." I quickly respond, completely horrified.

"Ok, how's tomorrow at six. I'll come and pick you up," Jen replies with no comment about the babe reference.

"Sure, can't wait," I say.

"Alright, looking foward to seeing you sexy. Bye," Jen says.

"Bye," I say, hanging up the phone, my heart feeling as if it were ripped out of my chest and stomped on a thousand times.

Sexy? I wonder if she really finds me sexy.

Jennifer's p.o.v

*honk honk*

I'm waiting outside of Laurel's house. This is the first time i've ever been to her here. I couldn't decide whether I should knock on her door instead.

I've been waiting in my car for about five minutes, so I decide to go and knock.

She opened the door half undressed. All she was wearing was a laced bra and panties. I hesitated to come in and apologized repeatedly. Although I had seen her half naked plenty of times due to shooting, this was different. We weren't at work so I was completely caught off guard.

"Don't be silly, come on in. I'm so sorry, I had a misunderstanding with my husband, but we worked it out. Please sit, I'll be ready in ten minutes tops," Laurel said.
