Piper and Alex: OTINB One Shot
So i'm aware this is an Ellen and Portia Fanfiction website but I wanted to try something a little different and after watching the last episode of OITNB season 2 I wanted to carry it on ;). Hope you enjoy :). WARNING SEASON 2 SPOILERS!!!
"Hey Chapman!" I hear Nikki shouting after me. I turn around as she catches up with me.
"Hey"
"Where the fuck you been? Red's looking for you."
"Shit." I say out loud as I remember agreeing to help Red sort out the stockroom Caputo had dumped onto her now the shut down was over. "I completely forgot. I went out for a jog. Shit is she pissed?"
"Nah just wondered where you'd got to. Although i'd get there an help out now. Catch you later." Nikki replies before walking off towards the bathroom. I turn in the opposite direction and head for the stockroom. Things are finally returning back to normal after a week of shutdown. Vee was found dead not far from the prison which I can't say any of the inmates were too displeased about. I hadn't had much to do with her but I know she thought the prison was hers. Rosa is yet to be found but luckily Morello did not get thrown into SHU just a months worth of janitorial duty. As for Alex I haven't heard anything. I'm hoping her probation officer got there before she could do a runner but as ever in this place no one will tell me anything. I've even been to Mr Healy to try and get an update but he accused me of overstepping the 'lesbian mark'.
"Aaaah you decided to turn up then Chapman" Red quips as I enter the stockroom. I laugh before getting to work helping her clear out the shit Caputo has dumped on her. By the time we have finished the bell sounds for lunch so we make our way to the cafeteria and join the back of the queue.
"HEY BITCH!" I hear being shouted from across the other side of the room. I look around to see Black Cindy squaring up to a timid looking newbie in trademark orange. "YOU FUCKING MESSING WITH ME. YOU IS GONNA GET YOUR ASS KICKED"
"INMATE CALM IT!" Bennett shouts from his stance by the wall. I watch as Black Cindy steps back a little before whispering something in the girls ear and sitting down at the table. I continue to grab my food and sit down at my usual table next to Nikki and opposite Morello.
"Hey Chapman, Red." Nikki and Morello acknowledge as we sit down.
"Hows the cupboard looking?" Morello asks.
"Shit." Red replies quickly before tucking into her food.
"That bad huh?" Nikki replies smirking at me before dropping the subject.
"So Chapman" Morello turns to me this time.
"Yeah?"
"Heard who's back in town?"
"No" I reply looking around in confusion at the knowing faces staring back at me.
"Vause. Saw her wandering towards Healy's office earlier."
"Fuck. I bet she hates me."
"Oh don't say that" Morello replies giving my arm a squeeze. I watch as Nikki turns to Morello and gives her a look that has 'what the fuck' written all over it.
"Are you fucking with me? She ratted the girl out."
"Hey hey, I did it for her safety." I interject at this point.
"Sure Chapman if that's what you want to keep telling yourself." Nikki replies smirking at me.
2 hours later...
I leave the girls in the rec room and make my way to the bathroom. As I walk I seriously start to doubt whether the girls were messing with me at tea. I mean surely she would have come into the cafeteria for tea? Unless she went in after we left? However, as I turn into the showers my questions are answered.
"Alex" I whisper as I catch sight of her leaning over the sink looking at herself in the mirror.
"Oh you have to be fucking kidding me." she replies before turning to face me.
"Look i'm sorry when I heard you in danger I couldn't sit back and do nothing-"
"Shut up." Alex interrupts my rant but I know that she needs to hear this.
"I felt helpless Alex. I was stuck in here and you were out-" I am interrupted again but this time by chapped lips meeting my own. I feel the spark of electricity and the quickening of my heart as this woman overtakes my senses once again. I feel her pull away from me as I open my eyes.
"I told you to shut the fuck up" she giggles now cocking her head to the side.
"Wait i'm confused. Don't you hate me?" I ask her. I watch as she pauses to think about it for a moment before leaning against the sink.
"I've got to be honest I did. For the first half an hour at least but then I realised i'd fucked you over much worse and maybe, just maybe you did this to protect me not to fuck me over for once."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You did me a favour kiddo. I've got another 6 months to do but at least now I have time to figure something out." she replies reaching out to pull me into a hug. "I've missed you pipes."
"Me too. I-I love you."
"I love you too." she whispers into my shoulder.
"Hey Chapman!" I hear Nikki shouting after me. I turn around as she catches up with me.
"Hey"
"Where the fuck you been? Red's looking for you."
"Shit." I say out loud as I remember agreeing to help Red sort out the stockroom Caputo had dumped onto her now the shut down was over. "I completely forgot. I went out for a jog. Shit is she pissed?"

The Altar
I sit there watching the second hand of the clock tick around. The minutes seem to speed past as I try to focus on my work and can't.
12:01...
12:10....
12:30....
You are probably wondering what's on my mind. I'll tell you plain and simple: the love of my life in roughly 2 hours will be married to someone else.
*Knock knock*
"Come in" I sigh dejectedly. I look up to see Mary entering the room.
"You okay?" she asks me concernedly.
"Yes." I say a little sharply.
"Right that's it I'm fed up of your attitude today Ell. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Well I'm going to sit here until you tell me." she says sternly sitting down into the wooden chair opposite my desk.
"Well you'll be here a while then because there's nothing to tell."
"Fine."
I pick up the script for today's show and start to read it. As I read further down the page the words start to blur as tears form in my eyes. I drop the script back onto my desk and collapse into my chair allowing the uncontrollable sobs, I have been holding in, rip through me.
"Come here." Mary say's walking around the desk and taking me into her arms. After I have calmed down I notice Andy handing me some water. I take a sip placing the cup back onto my desk.
"What's wrong?" Mary asks me softly.
"Sh-she's marrying him today." I whisper.
"Oh my days. Why on earth are you here then?!" she exclaims at me.
"S-sorry?" I question her.
"Look Ell" she say's grabbing me by the shoulders. "The show will always go on. We can find a replacement for today but once you've let her slip away she's gone. You need to tell her how you feel because I know she feels the same. She's scared Ell and has been begging for you to help her. Don't let her down."
"I-I can't ruin her wedding."
"But what if it turns out to be the best thing you ever did? You owe it to both of you to find out." she says leaving me alone with my thoughts. I sit back in my chair as her words reverberate around my head. Within minutes I have made possibly the worst decision I might ever make. Grabbing my keys I head out of the door shouting to Mary that I am leaving. By the time I reach the church I am visibly shaking. I walk through the archway doors looking up the aisle. There she stands; a vision of beauty dressed in white. My knees go weak knowing that the dress she has on isn't for me. I am so entranced by her I almost forget why I am there. That is until the vicar asks if anyone has any objections. I feel time stand still and my heart start to beat uncontrollably in my chest.
"WAIT!" I shout barely recognizing my own voice through the desperation. I watch as a hundred faces turn swiftly around in their pews to face me. I look towards the only face that matters to me right at this minute.
"Ellen." she whispers softly.
"Look can I just talk to Portia somewhere please? Alone?" I plead with the vicar, her, anyone who will listen. I watch Portia lean over to Mark, the man she is about to marry, whisper something into his ear before turning to the vicar and excusing herself.
"If you could just excuse us a moment." she addresses the crowd who are now waiting with baited breath for any gossip they can get their hands on. I stand there not really knowing what to do when I suddenly find myself being pulled back down the aisle to the end of the church and into what seems like a broom cupboard.
"What are you doing here?"
"I-I"
"What Ell? You can't just barge into my wedding if you haven't got something important to say." she retorts as I hear the anger in her voice starting to rise. I take a minute looking at her not breaking our stare as I try to gain the confidence to come out with it.
"I fucking love you okay?" I shout back at her now. I can feel the spit foaming in my mouth as I shout. "I have since I met you. That day at that party I couldn't take my eyes off you. I haven't been able to since. And since I've got to know you I've fell more in love with you every day. You're beautiful Porsche. I-I just couldn't let you carry on without knowing how I feel. I will understand completely if you still want to marry-"I begin but before I can continue I can no longer move my lips. I feel soft caressed lips brushing against my own but before I can react they are no longer there.
"I''m sorry" she whispers turning to walk back out of the room. I feel a sudden surge of confidence rush through me as I pull her arm turning her back towards me before pressing her up against the door pushing my lips onto hers. I run my tongue along her bottom lip hoping she will grant me access. As soon as she does I am passionately battling with her for power. When we finally break apart we are both breathless.
"Shit." I hear shocking me a little as in the 2 years since i've known Portia I've never once heard her swear.
"What?"
"I don't know what to do." she whispers tears streaming from her eyes now as she sinks down to the floor leaning against the door.
"I'm sorry." I say sitting down next to her. "Look if you want me to leave I will. I'll never mention this again. I'll even leave you alone if that's what you need. Just tell me what you want."
"No that's the last thing I want. I-I love you too. I just-I'm not very good at this whole being gay thing. I've tried to hide it my whole life. Heck that's why I was stood at the altar five minutes ago with a man I barely even know."
"Wait what?"
"We're both gay Ell. We were marrying to cover it up. Did you not notice the lack of shock or horror when you burst in on our wedding?"
"Oh erm.."
"It's okay." she giggles a little. 'Gosh she's so cute when she giggles' I think to myself.
"So what happens now?"
"Oh I don't know." she says looking up to heavens as if they were going to give her the answer. We sit in silence for a few minutes before she turns towards me.
"You really love me?"
"Of course Portia I would never say it if I didn't mean it. I will spend the rest of my life proving it to you if I have to." I reply taking her hands in my own. She hesitates for a moment as I see the cogs turning over in her brain.
"Right fuck this let's get out of here." she say's grabbing me by the hand much like she did earlier only this time she drags me back into the church.
"Ladies and gentleman I have something to announce." she shouts above the chatter that is now echoing in the church. I watch as the faces turn back around and look in confusion as they see our hands interlinked.
"Stop" Mark shouts from the front of the church. I watch as he runs down to where we are standing. "If you are going to do this I'm doing it with you." he whispers.
"Right I'm sorry to waste all of your time today but there is something very important you need to know. I'm sorry to tell you like this Mom, Dad." she say's nodding towards her parents. "But I'm gay." I hear the echo of shock going through the hall so I grip Portia's hand a little tighter to let her know i'm still there. Once the chatter dies down a bit she continues to speak. "I know you are probably all a little shocked at this and wonder what we are doing here today if I knew this already but you see I didn't have the courage to tell you. I thought you might judge me, hate me even. That was until this woman beside me told me how she felt about me. I met her two years ago at a party. I know all of you know who she is but to me she's my Ellen. The one I can't spend a day without thinking about. The one I only dream to touch or kiss. Now to me regardless of gender surely I should be with her rather than living a pretend life with Mark. It was only when she told me how she felt that I found the courage to admit it to myself and all of you here today. I'm sorry it has taken so long and to waste your time but I can't go through with this wedding. Mom, Dad I know you probably have a million questions right now but I need some time first okay? I'm going to go home with Ellen for the night and come and speak to you tomorrow. I love you." she finishes and I feel myself once again being pulled for the exit. Once we are outside she grabs me by the waste pushing me against my car and shoving her tongue down my throat. I let out an involuntary moan.
"Well well well someone sounds horny." she says winking at me before rounding the car waiting for me to open the door. I fumble around for my keys having completely lost all of my senses. Once we are finally seated and on the way to my house I turn down the radio.
"Wow." I manage to squeeze out silently cursing myself for lack of words.
"Yeah I know. Was that a bad thing to do?" she says second guessing herself now.
"No Portia that was the bravest thing i've ever seen anyone do in my life. I am so proud of you." I say giving her leg a squeeze to reassure her.
"Thank you. I guess we will see what tomorrow brings but for tonight can we yaknow just pretend it's just us?"
"Of course."
"I love you Ell."
"I love you too Porsche and for the record I totally nearly chickened out today but I can categorically say that was the best decision of my life." I smile looking over the woman who I can now call my own.
12:01...
12:10....
12:30....
You are probably wondering what's on my mind. I'll tell you plain and simple: the love of my life in roughly 2 hours will be married to someone else.

One Shot: Smoke Detector
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Argh what the fuck?" I suddenly bolt up at the strange noise sounding through our house. I turn to Portia who has also woken up at the noise.
"It's so loud" she mumbles sleepily.
"Tell me about it." I say throwing back the covers and switching on the bedside lamp nearest to me. I put my head into my hands to shield myself from the bright light. Once my eyes are adjusted I stand up and head out of the bedroom followed by Portia. I walk to where I think the sound is coming from and look around.
"Hey Ell I think one of the batteries has gone in these" she says pointing towards the smoke detector on the ceiling.
"Yeah me too but which one they're all flashing!"
"Let's try this one it sounds like it's coming from this one anyway." I walk over to where she is standing looking around for something to stand on.
"Can you get me a chair or something?"
"Sure" she says walking off into the kitchen and returning with a chair. I stand onto the chair reaching up towards the detector. "Be careful babe."
"I will don't worry." I respond feeling her hands holding onto my legs as I release the wall to unscrew the top off. When I finally get to the battery and take it out the noise continues. "Can't be this one the noise is still going."
"It sounds like it's coming from over there now" she says letting go of one of my legs to point.
"Woah" I say swaying on the chair.
"Sorry" she says replacing her hand back on my leg as I screw the top back on before getting down from the chair. We spend what feels like the next hour unscrewing several detectors in our open plan downstairs area.
"Why did we have to get a house with open plan? We'd have found this one hours ago."
"You wanted the house Ell." Portia says cheekily.
"And so did you if I remember."
"Fair enough" she giggles before reaching a hand out to help me onto the chair. I reach up unscrewing the detector and taking out the battery. To our relief the noise stops. Before I rescrew the lid back on I decide to play Portia up a little by pretending to fall of the chair. I sway making it look like I am falling before regaining my balance. I look down to Portia who has a worried look on her face.
"ELLEN. Stop doing that I thought you were going to fall." she scolds me. I start laughing uncontrollably as I screw the lid back on.
"Oh but babe you're face was a picture."
"Hmm." she says beginning to walk off as I get down from the chair but before she has chance to go too far I place my hands on her hips pulling us both over the arm of the sofa. "ELLEN." she screams.
"I couldn't let you go to bed mad." I say laughing as she turns around on the sofa to face me.
"What's to say I'm not mad still?"
"Oh you might be but you won't be in a minute" I say closing the gap between us. I feel the adrenaline rush through my heart as her lips meet mine. I feel her lips part slightly allowing herself to get lost in the kiss. I take advantage of this slowly sliding my tongue through the gap. I taste Portia's toothpaste on my tongue as it explores her mouth. I feel Portia pulling me closer as the kiss deepens. Eventually though we have to pull away as we struggle for air. Embarrassingly I can feel myself panting and try to cover it up but Portia giggles knowing exactly what I am trying to do.
"Bed?" she whispers to me.
"Oh so you're not angry anymore then?"
"Definitely not."
"Well bed sounds fantastic then." I laugh giving her a wink before standing from the sofa and helping her up.
"Argh what the fuck?" I suddenly bolt up at the strange noise sounding through our house. I turn to Portia who has also woken up at the noise.
"It's so loud" she mumbles sleepily.
"Tell me about it." I say throwing back the covers and switching on the bedside lamp nearest to me. I put my head into my hands to shield myself from the bright light. Once my eyes are adjusted I stand up and head out of the bedroom followed by Portia. I walk to where I think the sound is coming from and look around.
"Hey Ell I think one of the batteries has gone in these" she says pointing towards the smoke detector on the ceiling.
"Yeah me too but which one they're all flashing!"
"Let's try this one it sounds like it's coming from this one anyway." I walk over to where she is standing looking around for something to stand on.
"Can you get me a chair or something?"
"Sure" she says walking off into the kitchen and returning with a chair. I stand onto the chair reaching up towards the detector. "Be careful babe."
"I will don't worry." I respond feeling her hands holding onto my legs as I release the wall to unscrew the top off. When I finally get to the battery and take it out the noise continues. "Can't be this one the noise is still going."
"It sounds like it's coming from over there now" she says letting go of one of my legs to point.
"Woah" I say swaying on the chair.
"Sorry" she says replacing her hand back on my leg as I screw the top back on before getting down from the chair. We spend what feels like the next hour unscrewing several detectors in our open plan downstairs area.
"Why did we have to get a house with open plan? We'd have found this one hours ago."
"You wanted the house Ell." Portia says cheekily.
"And so did you if I remember."
"Fair enough" she giggles before reaching a hand out to help me onto the chair. I reach up unscrewing the detector and taking out the battery. To our relief the noise stops. Before I rescrew the lid back on I decide to play Portia up a little by pretending to fall of the chair. I sway making it look like I am falling before regaining my balance. I look down to Portia who has a worried look on her face.
"ELLEN. Stop doing that I thought you were going to fall." she scolds me. I start laughing uncontrollably as I screw the lid back on.
"Oh but babe you're face was a picture."
"Hmm." she says beginning to walk off as I get down from the chair but before she has chance to go too far I place my hands on her hips pulling us both over the arm of the sofa. "ELLEN." she screams.
"I couldn't let you go to bed mad." I say laughing as she turns around on the sofa to face me.
"What's to say I'm not mad still?"
"Oh you might be but you won't be in a minute" I say closing the gap between us. I feel the adrenaline rush through my heart as her lips meet mine. I feel her lips part slightly allowing herself to get lost in the kiss. I take advantage of this slowly sliding my tongue through the gap. I taste Portia's toothpaste on my tongue as it explores her mouth. I feel Portia pulling me closer as the kiss deepens. Eventually though we have to pull away as we struggle for air. Embarrassingly I can feel myself panting and try to cover it up but Portia giggles knowing exactly what I am trying to do.
"Bed?" she whispers to me.
"Oh so you're not angry anymore then?"
"Definitely not."
"Well bed sounds fantastic then." I laugh giving her a wink before standing from the sofa and helping her up.

One Shot: The Pap's
Portia's POV
"Baby, you ready to go?" I hear my wife shout from inside the hallway.
"Coming." I shout back grabbing my handbag and jacket. As I walk into the hallway my wife is waiting impatiently by the door. "Sorry I was just putting my shoes on."
"No problem" she almost whispers placing a short soft kiss onto my lips before pulling away and heading outside leaving me wanting more. I giggle to myself before locking up the house and making my way to our car.
"Is that your idea of payback for making you wait?" I ask her as I sit down into the passenger seat of our Porsche.
"Maybe" she smirks at me before starting the car. Before long we are pulling up down the road from the antiques store my wife wants to visit. She loves interior design and is always on the look out for something to add to our home so I am treating her to a piece of furniture for valentines day before I head to the salon to get ready for our date tonight. As she pulls into a parking spot I see two men with camera's hopping out of a car next too us.
"Seriously? How do they find us?" I say to Ell nodding towards the men setting themselves up to get a good shot of us.
"I have no idea." she laughs as we both get out of the car. As soon as we step from the car we are met with a wall of noise.
"ELLEN PORTIA THIS WAY!" they shout as I am blinded by the flashes. I feel my wifes hand grabbing for mine and slotting in perfectly. When I reach the parking meter I punch in our number plate whilst Ellen shields me from the flashes so I can see what I am typing. I pull out our ticket placing it into my handbag as we continue to walk down the block to the antique store.
"ARE YOU GETTING A DIVORCE?!" one of the men shouts as his camera clicks again. Ellen scoffs next to me and as I turn to face her she lifts her hands up so her ring is showing.
"Does it look like we are?" she responds pointing at her ring. I laugh at her using her humor to be direct in addressing the rumor that has been in the papers for months. We don't read the papers but are constantly asked questions about getting a divorce when we are out and about. Usually we just ignore the questions but I sense that Ellen is in the mood for playing with the pap's.
"You've been seen out not wearing them." one of the men shouts up over the flashes. Ellen looks towards me with a sparkle in her eye. I laugh knowing she is planning what she wants to say.
"I can categorically say we are not getting a divorce unless Portia has decided otherwise." she laughs looking over towards me. I look lovingly at her as we pass the pap's who have already guessed what shop we are going into and have stopped in front of the glass window of the shop.
"Definitely not I love this woman." I say pulling Ellen's hand up to point once again at her wedding ring before following her into the shop. Once the door closes behind us she pulls me alongside her as we walk through the second door into the shop.
"How do they find us?"
"I have no idea" I laugh as she pulls out her phone.
"I'm going to get my own back" she grins mischievously pressing the camera button and turning to face the men snapping us through the window of the shop. I wrap my hand around her muscular arm leaning over her shoulder to see what she is doing. I watch as she takes picture after picture of the men outside.
"Come on Ell." I laugh at her burying the side of my head into her shoulder. Eventually she gives up teasing the pap's long enough to decide upon an oak chair. I pay and arrange the delivery to our house before we thank the lady and leave the store. When we get back to the parking meter by our car I pay the fare before handing the ticket over to Ellen. The pap's are still following us but from more of a distance this time.
"Right baby I'm off to the salon. What time shall I be home?"
"About 7?"
"Sure. I'll see you tonight. I love you."
"Love you too Porsche." she say's softly placing the hand with her phone in on my arm and leaning in towards me. I close the gap between us placing a loving kiss on her lips. I smile as I pull away knowing that the kiss was half for the paps and half to reassure me that she is looking forward to tonight. It has been a while since we had a proper date night with Ellen being so busy with the show and the Oscars. I give her a slight wave as I head off down the sidewalk to the salon around the corner.
"Baby, you ready to go?" I hear my wife shout from inside the hallway.
"Coming." I shout back grabbing my handbag and jacket. As I walk into the hallway my wife is waiting impatiently by the door. "Sorry I was just putting my shoes on."
"No problem" she almost whispers placing a short soft kiss onto my lips before pulling away and heading outside leaving me wanting more. I giggle to myself before locking up the house and making my way to our car.

One Shot: Oscar's Promo
Portia's POV
I stare lovingly at my wife from across the set. Today she is recording the promo ready for the Oscars. There are hundreds of people here wanting to talk to Ellen yet she still comes over to check on me between every take. That's one of the things I love so much about her. No matter what is going on in our lives our relationship is always a constant. I honestly never thought I'd end up this happy. I watch as she dances down the street with the song blaring out across the lot. When the take is finished she checks in with the choreographer but once again heading over to me.
"Hey baby." she shouts as she skips over.
"Hey."
"Watcha think."
"I love it. It's hilarious. You got the swing right that time too."
"Yeah that's what Mark said." she says proudly as she wraps one arm around my back.
"ELLEN!" the director shouts over. "LAST TAKE."
"Coming!" she shouts back before removing her arm from around my back.
"See you in a bit." she say's cheekily before placing a quick peck on my lips.
I lean myself up against one of the lampposts waiting for my wife to emerge once again from the doors at the end. I hear the track start up again as my wife bursts from the doors. Since the moment I saw her put that suit on this morning all I've wanted to do is take her right there and then. I quickly scolded myself knowing how completely inappropriate that would be not to mention the awkwardness of having so many people around us. I watch her eagerly knowing that this is the last take. I start to bite my bottom lip thinking of the things I want to do to her. Don't get me wrong she looks amazing in any suit but this one is just driving me crazy. She looks so cute with the bow tie. I almost have to jolt myself out of my dirty thoughts when the track comes to an end as she stands in the final pose.
"CUT!" the director yells before the whole cast burst into applause. I watch as Ellen high-fives the rest of the crew. The director calls me over to stand and wait next to him.
"Watcha think?" he asks me as I come to a halt next to him.
"It's amazing I love the soundtrack."
"Yeah it's good right? They're an awesome band as well."
"Yeah I think Ell's gonna try get them on the show in a few weeks."
"Ah that'll be awesome for them."
"Yeah." I say enthusiastically as I watch my wife walk back over too us.
"That was awesome baby" I say enveloping her into a hug.
"Thanks." she utters shyly pulling away but leaving one arm behind my bag.
"Yeah that was awesome. Glad to get it under wrap. Will send you a copy when we get it all edited."
"Thanks."
"No thank you. You go have a good evening."
"You too."
"Bye." he says walking off towards the rest of the crew to arrange packing up the set. I lean into my wife so my mouth reaches her ear.
"Can we go home yet? Keep the suit on though." I say pulling back before giving her a cheeky wink.
"Oh why might that be." she replies teasing me.
"You have no idea what I want to do to you in that suit."
"Oh well in that case what are we waiting for." she laughs before leading me off the set greeting the fans who have been watching on the way.

One Shot: Walk Of Fame
Ellen's POV
I run back into my office to grab the ringing phone on my desk.
"Hello Ellen DeGeneres speaking."
"Why hello Ellen." A man with a deep south american accent says down the phone.
"I don't mean to be rude but who is this."
"Ahh I'm just getting to that don't worry. My name is Mark I'm one of the committee members for the Hollywood walk of fame. I'm just ringing you to let you know that you have been chosen as one of our honorary members for this month."
"Excuse me" i reply not quite knowing what to say. The man on the other end of the phone laughs clearly being used to strange reactions.
"Congratulations Ellen. We would obviously like to set up a meeting to agree on date for your ceremony and run you through some of the details. When would be possible for that to happen?"
"Wow I don't quite know what to say. Erm..I'll just contact my PA she has my diary. Can I put you on hold a second whilst I go grab her."
"Sure thing." I press the hold button before dialing my PA's number.
"Ellen" she says concerned that i'm ringing her out of the blue.
"Hey, don't worry it's nothing wrong. I'm just on the phone with someone from the hollywood walk of fame committee. They want to arrange a meeting to discuss my ceremony. I'm getting a star on the walk of fame." I say not quite believing it.
"Wow congratulations!" she exclaims down the phone.
"Thank you I don't think it's really sunk in yet."
"Ah I'm sure it will. Now if you're looking for a meeting as soon as possible we can go for this Friday?"
"Okay, how about if that's not possible?"
"Hmmm...you're probably looking at the Friday after. You're pretty busy next week."
"Okay. Thank you."
"No problem. See you tomorrow."
"And you."
"Bye." she responds before clicking off the phone. I switch the call back to Mark.
"Hi Mark. Sorry about that."
"No worries."
"So I'm free this Friday if that's a good day for you?"
"Sounds fantastic."
"Brilliant. Is about 1 o clock okay?"
"Yeah great. If you come over to the headquarters someone will escort you to the correct room."
"Okay thanks Mark."
"See you Ellen."
"Bye." I say hanging up the phone. In my excitement I run around the office telling everyone I see before Mary quietly reminds me that we have a show to get on and tape. As we finish up I am itching to get home to tell Portia. I haven't rang her yet as I know she is busy filming Arrested Development and I don't want her phone to go off in the middle of a take. As has become routine for the last few weeks Portia is back merely minutes before me. I jump out of the car running into the house.
"PORTIA!" I shout.
"IN THE KITCHEN." I run to the kitchen bouncing around like a five-year old child.
Portia's POV
I hear my wifes footsteps entering the kitchen as I turn around from where I am pouring us two coffees. She jumps into the kitchen bouncing around like a child. I laugh at her enthusiasm wondering what has got her so excited.
"You look excited." I remark playfully.
"You'll never guess what baby!" she exclaims running around the island in our kitchen to grab my hands.
"What?"
"I'm getting a star on the Walk of Fame!" she exclaims jumping up even further. I take a second to process as my mouth drops open.
"Oh my god are you serious?"
"Yeah! Some guy called Mark rang to arrange a meeting for Friday."
"Wow baby." I say placing my hands on her cheeks and pulling her lips onto mine. "Congratulations" I say as I pull back from her.
"Mmm best congratulations yet." she whispers.
"I heard that." I say chuckling at my wife's apparent lack of control over her mouth.
"Well it was."
"Good because theres more where that came from." I say this time allowing myself to get lost in my wifes kiss. Our tongues entwine in a dance only we can feel. I finally pull away when I can no longer hold my breath.
"Mmm I like the sound of that."
"Thank you I don't think it's really sunk in yet."
"Ah I'm sure it will. Now if you're looking for a meeting as soon as possible we can go for this Friday?"
"Okay, how about if that's not possible?"
