Something a bit different inspired by one of my favourite fics, Inevitable by Inevitable . Alex . Vause which I absolutely love! I hope you enjoy it!

For anyone who was reading my other fic, I'm sincerely sorry for the lack of updates, I'll try to upload soon, I'm really sorry.

"I don't know what it is Jenji, I just don't think Laura likes me. I mean when it's Piper and Alex it's fine but as soon as we're off film she just stalks off again." Taylor didn't want to seem like she was being a little girl about it but the rest of the cast got along just fine with Laura, so why was it Laura particularly didn't seem to like her? "Taylor, I'm telling you, you've got it wrong. Prepon loves working with you! Give it some time, she's probably just adjusting to working with so many women." Jenji looked like she wanted to say more but was pulled off into conversation about when they were shooting the nativity scene.

Jenji was usually her go to for advice, the woman was a legend and usually gave the best advice, but Laura didn't seem to want space or time from Taylor, she didn't didn't seem to be settling in, she just didn't seem interested in her at all. It wasn't that she seemed like a diva or anything, Laura got along well with the rest of the cast and seemed (she gathered from a far) genuinely lovely and the girls were always laughing at something she had said but she had just avoided Taylor since their first scene together. She knew a shower scene was an awkward place to start but they were a few months into shooting now! Taylor already knew what a hit the show would be. It's success was dependant on whether the audience could relate to the women in Piper's story, and whether they could route for the relationships, whether the chemistry was believable.

And between her and Laura, the chemistry was so...so tangible. When they were Alex and Piper, Taylor constantly felt her knees going weak despite the fact she was straight and Laura was straight and most importantly, that this wasn't the mysteriously shut off Laura Prepon with her perfect curves and husky voice whispering seductive things in her ears and shooting sincere glances her way, it was the script writers; it was Alex.

It wasn't that Taylor wanted anymore of Laura than to be friends, she was straight, she and Laura both were definitely one hundred percent straight. But most people when spending months on end together develop some sort of friendship, right? Like Laura had seemingly done with the rest of the cast and as she had herself. The way Laura avoided her like the plague, it just didn't seem right, she worried she had done something accidentally to upset her. Maybe it was because she kept catching her looking in her direction, she'd been caught one to many times now snatching glances of her co-star. There was just something about her that made her what to know more about her. The way her stomach flipped like a school girl whose crush just entered the room, when Laura walked in. The way she got butterflies when Laura looked in her direction. The tugging she got in her lower abdomen when Laura kissed her for their scenes together.

Taylor was dragged back to reality when she was called to shoot her next scene, she pushed the thoughts away and admitted to herself (with a pang of disappointment) that perhaps Laura and her would simply never be friends.

Taylor Schilling was a creature of beauty. Her co-star had caught her attention from the moment she had walked in the room for their very first read through. They had laughed and flirted through the whole run through and when Laura had finally gotten up to leave she'd caught a wink from Jenji as she exited. Since that read through she hadn't been able to get her off her mind. Then they'd shot their first scene together; a very, very hot shower scene and the spark between them had just been...Wow. Laura couldn't believe the affect that this woman had had on her. But she knew Taylor was straight and that the very distinct feelings that were on the verge of developing for her co-star were extremely inappropriate so she'd done the only thing she'd known how to do. She'd shut her out. She thought that if she didn't let herself be friends with her stunning, funny, adorable co-star then maybe she could stop the inevitable feelings that were growing inside of her. But with every scene they sank back into their comfortable flirty demeanours, which could be brushed off as the characters, but Laura would be reminded of that spark she'd felt on the first day and she'd push the feelings down and excuse herself at the first break but she could see in Taylor's snatched glances at her that it was upsetting and confusing her and it was tearing her apart to see the woman, she barely knew really look at her with such sad eyes and know that it was all her fault.

"Hey Laura, quit day dreaming, I need a word." Laura pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked up to see Jenji striding towards her with purpose. "Sure what's up?" Jenji raised an eyebrow, "Like you don't know, look you may fancy the pants off of Schilling and you might be trying to deny that fact to yourself or whatever, but it's making Tay worry, and like it or not she is your co-star so you either need to spend some alone time with your rampant rabbit and get over yourself and get on with your job, or you could get to know the girl and see where it goes. Either way you need to get yourself together and get to know Taylor. Got it Prepon?"

Laura stood momentarily in shock. "I-I don't f-fancy Taylor, Taylor and I are just -" Jenji held up one hand, her expression softened, "Laura, hun, it's written all over your face every time she walks into a room, get to know her sweetie, for me and for the show?" Laura swallowed, she wasn't getting out of this, Jenji was basically god.

"Okay."

Taylor was exhausted as she drove back to her hotel that night, she was looking forward to getting into bed and getting a good nights sleep before the early shoot tomorrow. She knew some of the other cast members like Yael and Uzo were staying in the same hotel as her as well as others but they usually spent a while relaxing in the bar before they headed up for the night, usually Taylor would be all over staying up until two drinking with a couple of hysterical women but tonight she was wiped. She glanced over at the bar when she got to the lobby but they were faced the other way taking shots, grateful that she wouldn't have to disappoint she dashed to the elevator and jumped through the already closing doors before they spotted her and called her over. In her rush she didn't see the woman with curves in all the right places and raven hair already in the elevator, and it wasn't until she crashed into her as the doors closed behind them that she noticed who it was.

You know there is a saying in Chinese proverbs that basically translates as if we try and put away something that has been occupying our minds for a long time it has a way of crashing back into your life when you least expect it. Originally it was meant metaphorically, an analogy about karma or something about that. She didn't expect to have to take it's meaning quite so literally when the gorgeous blond that was Taylor Schilling came tumbling through the elevator doors as they were about to close and fell right into her arms. "Woah there, I got you Tay." Taylor looked up and met her eyes, before going distinctly scarlet. "Someone chasing you?" She raised her eyebrows, actually concerned. The way Taylor had tumbled in had meant that when Laura caught her (mainly to prevent them both from falling) they had stopped chest to chest, with Laura's hands protectively on each of Taylor's arms, and whilst Taylor caught her breath and became steadily more embarrassed it didn't occur to her to remove herself from this position. "No, no...I just, the elevator was going...I didn't know you were in here..." She looked down, embarrassed. Laura was struck by how incredibly cute she looked when she was flustered and then pushed the thought down and lightly raised Taylor so she could stand safely on her own. Taylor, coming to her senses, brushed herself down, "Sorry about that." She tried to be a bit more confident around the woman that just made her nervous all the time in an incredibly good way. "Thank you by the way...". And it was at that moment Laura decided to take Jenji's advice, because frankly Taylor had already made herself look sillier than she could possibly in this situation anyway.

"You're welcome gorgeous, always a pleasure to catch a beautiful woman from falling on her face". She winked as Taylor's face flushed a fresh layer of scarlet. "Hey, look Taylor, I'm sorry I've been a bit off with you on set, you just..." She'd started now, she couldn't back out. "You just make me nervous I guess." She brushed it off with a laugh and noticed the elevator slowing, it must be nearly at her floor. She thanked whatever force was watching over her and giving her the opportunity to escape the awkwardness she had created.

"I make you nervous?!" Taylor laughed and felt sadness creep through her as she noticed the elevator slowing for Laura's stop. "Tell me about it! At least you didn't make an idiot out of yourself in an elevator" Laura laughed and it filled Taylor with warmth, it was husky and sexy and an infectious sort of laugh that she couldn't imagine ever becoming sick of hearing.

The lift came to a halt and Laura turned to wait for the doors to open. "At least you looked cute doing it Tay" Taylor felt herself blush again and Laura turned to face her. "I'd love to get to know you better Taylor" Laura met her eyes, they were so blue she could get lost in them. She blushed again, "I think you just got the chance to, the elevators stuck." She pointed to the small screen in the corner above the buttons that was flashing, Elevator fault; seek help promptly.

Laura grinned, what better a way to get to know someone than whilst stuck in an elevator together. After she'd pressed the red emergency button and spoken to front desk who had said they would endeavour to get them out as quickly as possible but that it may take some time for the engineer to reach them, she dropped herself down cross legged on the floor and indicated for Taylor to do the same.

This was going to be fun.

So that's chapter one, I hope you love it or like it, but I like where this ones going.

Please review, they're so encouraging!
