Forbidden Fruit - A Laylor Fanfic

Meeting

"Fuck." Laura murmured to herself as she sipped on a freshly made hot coffee, the smooth but boiling liquid colliding with her tongue. She sat in the waiting room of Netflix's main building, legs crossed patiently with her tight, dark pants and loose grey tee hanging from her tall posture.

"Wow, we're really diving into it here aren't we?" She thought to herself, laughing softly as she read a specific line from her script:

'Piper dances slowly, enticing Alex to get Piper to join her on the bed. Alex presses herself against Piper's—'

"Laura Prepon?" Laura was suddenly interrupted by the receptionist at the desk.
"Jenji is ready to see you. Make your way to room 43A please."
Laura got up and smiled at her, walking confidently towards the room, just down the hall. She wondered who Piper would be, and as the thoughts crossed her mind about how awkward this practice scene would be, she heard a desperate shrill from back down the hall.

"Taylor Schilling?! I'm here! Fuck, am I late?" Laura looked around and tried to take a peek at the blonde blur, but she was so far down the hall it was hard to make out her features at all. So, Laura walked, put her empty coffee cup in the recycling, and found her way to the room. At this point her nerves started to arise; she could feel her stomach turn, her palms start to bead with sweat, but she wasn't going to let that get to her. After all - she was good.

"Laura!" A voice suddenly called from the open door of room 43A. Jenji stood in front of Laura and smiled widely, her colourful hair in an assortment of waves standing on her head. She looked Laura up and down briefly, then exclaimed:
"Perfect, just come inside and we have the set all ready for you." She moved out of the way for Laura to pass, into the start of something Laura had to get right. She knew this.
"So you know the drill, right? You've been on That 70s' Show, you're not new to this at all." She talked freely as she toddled along, Laura following behind. "I know I know, this scene is pretty intense, but I believe you can do this. You got this." Laura could see the eccentric personality of Jenji come out in her and she tried to hold in a giggle - this woman was a genius.
"Of course - where's my co star though? Is she here?" Laura looked around cautiously, anticipating that she was going to "fake fuck" this person she's never met before.

Just before Jenji could speak, a tall, blonde woman rushed into the room. Her hair was slightly messy, moving in front of her eye as she walked. Blue eyes pierced Laura as she entered, and a smile arose on her face, the pearly white teeth were gleaming directly at Laura - she was hot.
"I mean, okay. I can work with that." Laura found herself thinking.
"Hello! You're 'Alex', right?" Taylor put out her hand for Laura to shake. As Laura reached out, Taylor glanced at her slender fingers, making Taylor's big eyes widen further. Laura's grip was firm and soft, and Laura looked into Taylor's eyes.
"Guessing your names Taylor? I saw you rushing at the reception." Laura laughed in her deep, raspy voice. She noticed Taylor was still looking at her hands, frowning, Laura stared at Taylor, as Taylor met Laura's eyes she smirked, with the corners of her soft pink lips moving up her cheeks.
"It is. Is your name Laura? I think I saw your name in the sign in. Your handwriting is really gorgeous." Taylor's voice was confident, considering she was quite obviously staring at Laura's hands just moments ago.
Laura found her pale cheeks start feel hot, so she got her words out quickly, not wanting to seem unprofessional to neither Jenji or Taylor.
"You're Piper aren't you?" Taylor smiled widely as they both came to the realisation that they were going to be doing this scene together.
"I guess this scene is going to be exciting, right Prepon? I think we'll work well together." Taylor gave Laura a little wink before walking towards the dimly lit set ahead of them both.

Laura couldn't tell if Taylor was being friendly or flirtatious, she never had any sort of real romantic or sexual tension with a woman before - so how would she know? If she was flirting, Laura knew it was wrong. She had a boyfriend. Was she overthinking it? Or was Laura in the wrong for sexualising Taylor, when Taylor might not even be doing anything wrong? All she knew was she needed to get through this scene and really go for it.

As Laura approached the set, she saw it was the bedroom that was mentioned in the script. The bed in the centre was messy, the room was painted a dark, sensual colour with a desk of drawers and a stereo placed strategically on top - facing the bed. There was a window on the edge of the wall, barely letting in light, but just enough to see Taylor's body move onto the set gracefully, and turn to Laura smiling; almost smugly.

"Okay ladies, I need you to get into position after you have a little chat about boundaries. This is going to be a completely improvised scene by you two because I'm trying to see if there's any chemistry there. The more the better. Okay? Good." Jenji smiled as she spoke, looking at them both as they glanced at each other. She walked away towards the front of the set, next to the cameraman, as Laura and Taylor walked up to one another.
"I honestly don't care, do what you want to me. I trust you." Taylor said quickly, looking at Laura for a reaction. Laura sighed with relief,
"Oh thank God, I'm glad I don't have to be so worried. I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable or anything, girl." Laura smiled. Taylor suddenly touched her hand
"Don't worry about it. Go for it with me." Taylor walked towards the desk and turned away from Laura, she could've sworn she saw Taylor smirking to herself as she stood there, getting ready to undress herself.

"Perfect! Laura, could you get into position please? Let me know when you're comfortable." Jenji called out to Laura, as Laura strode confidently to the bed, and laid herself down with her legs crossed. She picked up the book beside her and glanced at Taylor across the room, seeing Taylor sway her hips ever so softly, practicing to herself in her own little world.
Laura moved her raven hair from her face and put on her glasses, breathing in slowly.

"Okay, I'm ready." Laura said. And with that, Jenji shouted:

"Action."
