Chapter 26 - Confrontation

It was supposed to be just another normal day. One of the crew of OITNB was throwing a party and all the cast and crew were there. They were all like a family to each other that they almost never missed any important event in each other's lives.

Taylor was at a corner enjoying some alone time when Ruby came by. "Hi, sweet thing. Is it okay to bother you for a while?"

"Oh, hi! Of course!" Taylor said as she put her drink down.

"What's up? No plans of joining the gang?" She motioned to some of the cast members dancing around.

"Maybe later, I kind of feel exhausted."

Ruby smiled. She was looking at her phone and seemed like she was texting someone.

Taylor took that time to look at her and it was the first time she had actually allowed herself to really stare. She's never tried doing that before because she knew how Laura felt towards their co-star and she thought doing so was tantamount to a bit of a betrayal, even though 'betrayal' was too strong a word for it. This was the first time she's paid attention to her face, and she was surprised to find her really attractive. The only woman she had felt this towards was Laura so it was new to her looking at another woman like this.

"Hey, you okay?"

Taylor was snapped out of her thoughts when Ruby clicked her fingers right in front of her. "Y-yeah, I'm okay. Why?" She silently scolded herself for losing her mind even just for a tiny bit there.

"For a while there, you looked as if you spaced out. If it wasn't a ridiculous idea, I'd think you were checking me out," joked Ruby, showing all her perfectly white teeth.

"Checking you what?" Taylor laughed ridiculously. "You wish," she was laughing but deep inside she wanted to scream at herself for such a dumb move.

"Yeah, I wish. I was kidding!" Ruby paused, assessing Taylor's mood before speaking her thoughts. "Anyway, I'm glad you and Laura seemed to be doing well around each other now. And I mean, really well. I've seen you talking a while ago, and I haven't seen you that way since you were still together."

"Yeah," Taylor smiled. "I'm glad, too. We've found a way to work it out, you know. Be friends. I never thought it'd work, but so far, it's working, so it's great! We're great."

"That's awesome. It's also cool that you're back in the dating scene now."

This surprised Taylor. "Dating? I haven't gone out with anyone yet ever since we've broken up." She raised her eyebrows, waiting for Ruby's response.

"Oh, so it's just Laura then?"

"Laura? Laura's dating?" Taylor wasn't prepared for the rush of feelings that came towards her after finding out about this.

"Yeah, she's dated like three, four guys ever since you two broke it off. Didn't you know?" She stopped when she saw Taylor's reaction, realizing the blonde had no idea about this yet. "Fuck, you didn't," she muttered to herself. "I thought... I thought you knew. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"

"No, no, no." She shook her head, faking a smile. "It's okay. It's no big deal. We're not together anymore so... she's allowed to, uh, do whatever the hell she wants. It's not a problem."

Looking at Taylor, Ruby knew damn well that Taylor wasn't saying the truth.

-o-o-o-

Laura had been looking for Taylor all over the place but she couldn't find her. When she saw Natasha, hanging out with Yael, she figured maybe they knew where she was. "Hey, guys. Have you seen Taylor?"

"What, miss her already, Prepon?" asked Natasha with a smirk plastered on her face. Ever since her two friends went back to being their normal selves as friends, she grabbed every chance possible to tease them about it, and to try to make them realize they should just get back together.

Laura chuckled. "No, I was just looking for her because I need to ask her about something."

"You can ask me," Tasha suggested.

"It's about Mercy. Have you been part of that show?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, Prepon," she smiled, shaking her head. Her 'Operation Get Taylor and Laura back Together' wasn't working out well so far. "She's at the bar, I guess. Ruby was just there with her a while ago."

"Ruby Rose?" Laura raised an eyebrow.

This got another smirk from Natasha. "Yeah. Why? Jealous, are we?"

"Jealous? Of course not!" Laura decided it was the best time to walk away from them now or else, Tasha's gonna have a great time with her. She walked towards the bar and saw Taylor downing her drink in one swig. "Hey!" Taylor just looked at her for a split second before gazing away again. This somehow confused Laura but chose to ignore it anyway. "Can I ask you something?" she asked, with a smile.

But Taylor did not return her smile. "I'm sorry. I'm kind of busy."

Laura noticed Taylor's coldness towards her, something she's never showed her in weeks now. "Busy drinking?" Taylor just glared at her. "I'm sorry. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just really busy. Can we just do this next time?" Taylor said without even looking at Laura.

"Well, I'm just gonna ask one question. It has something to do with this job that I got." Taylor wasn't still looking at her. "But seeing as this is not a good time, I'm just gonna go take off." She started turning her back on her when Taylor spoke.

"You can call your boyfriend and maybe ask him if you want." Taylor knew it was such a pathetic shot but she took it anyway. She was beyond pissed knowing Laura had started going out with other people.

This made Laura stop. "I'm sorry, what? What are you talking about, I don't have a boyfriend." Laura knew she wasn't lying but she wasn't being truthful, too. She had gone out with a number of guys and she hadn't told Taylor about this yet. She didn't know if she should have, but with the turn of events now, she figured she should've told her when they started being okay again.

"But you did?" This time, Taylor looked at Laura and waited for and answer but Laura was quiet. "Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't."

Laura sighed, then looked at Taylor. "I did not." She didn't find it hard to do this because she was telling the truth this time. Yes, she had gone out with some guys but none of them ever became her boyfriend. "Look, why are you even asking me these things? Aren't we supposed to be okay now? And if you really wanna know the truth then here it is. Yes, I have gone out with three guys ever since we've broken up—"

Taylor didn't let Laura finish. "For fuck's sake, Laura! How long did it take you to get over it?! A month? A week?"

"What is wrong with you? Why are you yelling at me?" asked Laura, shocked at this sudden outburst from Taylor.

Taylor did not answer her. Instead, she just glared at her, unable to control the anger building up inside her. Then she got up and started walking away.

"What, now you're just gonna leave?" she asked as she followed Taylor. She went to the bathroom and was glad that no one else was there. "Okay. What did you want me to do, Taylor? Lock myself inside my house, cry myself to sleep? We've talked about this. We said we were gonna get on with our lives. And that's what I tried doing! If you didn't want me to move the fuck on, you should've told me yourself!"

"Oh congratulations, that is really great for you! You didn't wanna lock yourself in your house? I did! You didn't wanna cry yourself to sleep? I had!"

"What are you trying to say? Were you still expecting us to get back together?"

"Fuck, no! I don't want you back, Laura! After everything that has happened? I'm not gonna get back together with you, knowing you'll just bail out on me in the end." Pause. "And I'm not trying to tell you that you should've done the same things I did. All I want is for you to show even just the tiniest bit, that you actually feel or felt bad that this happened... that you felt devastated that we were not who we used to be anymore."

"Damn it, Taylor. Will you stop acting like this only affects you?! I felt bad, okay?! I felt devastated. Why do you think I've even gone out with any of those guys in the first place?! Do you think that was for my own enjoyment?! No, Taylor. I did it because I couldn't fucking get you out of my mind and it was driving me insane because I was the one who pushed you away! So I had to try and do something about it."

Taylor felt her rage starting to slowly die down, listening to Laura explain things, looking at her look so vulnerable.

Laura was a lot calmer now. "I'm sorry that I did. It was stupid but I didn't know what else to do. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. I'm sorry that I thought there was no need for that. I'm sorry that I thought you wouldn't care anymore. I'm sorry for every fucking thing, okay?!"

Before Laura realized it, she had been pushed against the door, and Taylor's lips were already crushing hers. "Taylor, what are you doing?" Laura had managed to ask when Taylor's lips momentarily left hers.

"Shut up, Laura. No questions. I want you. And I want you now."

At first she was taken by surprise by the turn of events that she couldn't move. But when she felt Taylor cup her face and deepened the kiss even more, she felt her own arousal rush through her.

She fisted her hands on Taylor's dress and turned her around so the blonde was now the one slammed against the door. She had bit on Taylor's full lower lip, eliciting a moan from her. Laura took this a sign to plunge her tongue into Taylor's mouth and Taylor returned the favor by doing the same thing until their tongues were battling for dominance.

Taylor let go of Laura only to pull her shirt off of her. She had managed to do this in just a matter of seconds and soon enough, her right hand was on Laura's breast, cupping and feeling, as her left arm was wrapped around Laura's back, removing the only barrier of clothing left.

Laura had taken Taylor's clothes off, too. This time, she had stopped thinking what was happening, why this was happening. She had let go of her self-control as she felt every inch of Taylor's body, kissing her everywhere. She eased her hand down her belly, cupping her wet mound.

"Wider," she whispered in her hoarse, hot voice, she barely recognized her own, pushing Taylor's thighs apart. Her lips left Taylor's only to leave trail of kisses from her neck, down to the center of her chest, to her beautiful breasts, down to her belly.

Laura then pulled Taylor's pants down, not caring that she was being the dominant one, when Taylor started this in the first place. Taylor's femininity was now bare in front of her, as the sweet scent of her arousal filled her head. She went back up to kiss her belly until her lips was just above Taylor's center. She rubbed one finger down her center, circling the exposed bead, then plunging into her glistening moistness, as she swiped her tongue on her sweet bud.

Taylor felt her knees buckle, as she held on whatever was beside her for support. She threw her head back, feeling arousal build inside her. She reached her other hand down, entangling her fingers on Laura's hair. The sensation of Laura's finger rubbing inside her was like a hot wire against her nerve ends. She felt her own body slowly convulsing into a chain of spasms, within and without.

Laura stood back up, kissed Taylor again, as she looked around. She dragged her across the bathroom to the tub, and pushed her down. She went over her, kissing her again, an open-mouthed invitation that Taylor took. It was a little uncomfortable at first, with the little space that they had, but the feelings they had at that moment had made them ignore that.

The hot raven-haired kissed her way down and Taylor let out a moan as Laura's mouth found her breast. She slid her fingers on Laura's hair, needing something to hold on to. Laura sucked her nipples until they were wet and sensitive and she felt the caress in her blood. She dropped one hand to one nipple and thumbed it in a lazy motion, as her tongue was making circles on the other nipple. This made Taylor's thighs clench together. "Fuck, Laura..."

Laura made her way to Taylor's center again and the blonde felt her mind go blank as the only thing left of her was a mindless ecstasy that seemed to only grow with each second. She felt Laura's tongue thrust into her and it took all her strength not to let go of her release right at that moment. Every movement of Laura's tongue inside her was pulling at her, drawing her closer. She shuddered and clutched Laura's shoulder, losing herself at the pleasure she was feeling.

Laura's tongue was tenderly persistent and her mouth was so ruthlessly pleasure-giving that Taylor could no longer hold it. She bit her lower lip so she could suppress the moan coming out of her mouth, as her arousal gushed through her like a tidal wave, a solid wall of incredible pleasure that took her past the point of no return. She cried out Laura's name as ripples of ecstasy flooded through her, her blood roaring through her veins.
