*Laura's POV* 


4:30am came with the alarm going off, which I shut off quickly because the loud noise was very annoying. Taylor stirred in the sheet without actually waking up. I got up from my 4 hour sleep and threw on some yoga pants and a v-neck. I love that I can roll out of bed and go to work because it only takes us less than 12 minutes in wardrobe. I made a coffee for Taylor and I and went back the the bedroom where my beautiful blonde was still sleeping.

"Taylor wake up." I shook her gently.

"Hmm." She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the clock.

"Are you okay? Why are you up right now we don't have to leave until 6." Her morning voice was so cute.

"Jenji called me last night when you were already asleep and said she wanted to talk to us about something so we have to go to set earlier than the rest of the cast mates." I pass her the coffee.

"What is she going to talk to us about?" She sat us and sipped her coffee.

I told her that we had to leave at 5 instead of 6 and we quickly got dressed and ready to leave for set.

The whole car ride I was super curious about what Jenji needed to talk to us so privately about.

We finally arrived on set at 5:30am and had to go straight to Jenji's office. Other cast mates would start showing up anywhere between 6:15am and 9am depending on the actors part that day.

Taylor was nervous because she wasn't a fan of confrontation, but we headed up to Jenji's office and knocked on her door.

"Come on in girls." She knew it was us.

We said our hellos, then Jenji put on her serious face and told us both to take a seat.

"Okay, so as you both know you are together. And all three of us decided that we were going to keep you two a secret from the media.Correct?" She got up and grabbed an envelope from her shelf of paper work.

"Yes, because it could ruin Taylor's 'very new to the media'reputation." I spoke up.

Taylor sat quiet and we watched Jenji as she sat back down in her desk, facing Tay and I in the chairs opposite from her.

"Alright here is the thing. I got these pictures sent to me."Jenji opened up the envelope filled with at least 25 pictures of Taylor and I together.

"Here is one of you two holding hands, and here is one of you two kissing behind a tree..." Jenji went on about all the pictures proving Taylor and I were in a relationship.

"An insider claims to have seen you on a "romantic date" in central park early in the morning. They seen you hugging, kissing and holding hands. So in the next 24 hours these pictures will most likely be leaked to the most popular magazine companies and large interviewers. Your whole plan to keep you hidden isn't going to pan out. So bad news, you two better be prepared for many questions about this during interviews, lots of talk in the media and many rumors will be spread, don't let it get to you. Also Taylor, mean words might be said by fans or whatever, your popularity might shoot up or dive down. Good news, most likely lots of publicity for Orange. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is going to want interviews with both of you about this."

"I am so sorry Jenji. This could wreck so many things." I said sincerely.

"Listen, there is no such thing as bad publicity as long as people are talking about you two or my show than we are fine. But if ratings start to go down or there is a major change in what we have been doing thus far, then we will have a problem. Depending on the response from this will determine what we will do. But I mean you could lie and say it wasn't you, because both of you were wearing'disguises'." She continued.

"I kind of want the media to know about us. Do you know how good it felt to actually go out and act like a couple even though we were trying to be discrete. Being able to hold my girlfriends hand in public and not care. It felt so good. I couldn't care less about my reputation at this point. Just because I'm famous now doesn't mean I can't be a real human." Taylor looked at me when she described how she felt.

I touched her arm and looked in her eyes with a smile.

"It did feel good." I continue looking at her.

"Well it's up to you guys, you could go out and tell the media before the pictures are released or you can wait. But I can't stress enough that if you two break up and it fucks up my show, I will rip both of you new assholes." Jenji meant business.

I'm surprised Jenji wasn't more upset about people going to find out about Tay and I, but you could tell she was concerned about us breaking up. Which obviously is a serious topic if it were to happen it could affect our chemistry. Jenji left the room and told us we could have some time to talk alone about what we want to happen.

"I meant what I said. It was so nice to be able to hold your hand without the worry of someone caring." she faced me.

"I know. It was amazing, but babe you're just starting to come out in the industry and it could complicate your fame." I was trying to be realistic.

"I don't give a fuck, you're my girlfriend and I want to be as proud as I am in private with you, in public." Taylor explained.

I grabbed her hand and nodded.

"So what do you want us to do?" I ask.

As soon as I ask that my phone blows up with notifications, I open up to a Google alert saying "Taylor Schilling and Laura Prepon stars from Orange is the New Black caught kissing and holding hands on a secret romantic date!" as the headline.

"Well that answered my question." I chuckle.

"What?" Taylor asks, then I show her my phone.

"Fuck." She talks again after reading what was on my screen.

I couldn't care less about what people think and what they will say about us because honestly I have never been more happy in my life. I was scared for Taylor and how she would handle it though.

"I love you. We will get through any issues and problems that come along. Don't worry." I comfort her.

"I know, I love you too. Hey, maybe we'll get more interviews together." She winked at me.

"I hope, and now I can finally talk about you without watching what I have to say." We both smile.


 All in all I'm glad that we don't have to be so hidden now. And our 'Laylor' fans will be happy. As long as Taylor and I continue our relationship and not care what people say, it should all be fine.
