I, unfortunately, don't own anything other than an overactive imagination. So please, don't sue me. My first attempt. Any tips and reviews are welcomed, please be nice!
The flight attendant gently nudged Andy awake letting her know that the plane would be landing soon. Smiling her thanks she started to feel the excitement build up in her stomach. While she had the career that she had always wanted jet-setting off to location to cover a story she now had something, or rather someone, to come home to.
For over the last 7 months her and Miranda had begun their whirlwind, albeit discreet, romance. After a chance encounter at an event neither could deny the spark that still existed between the pair. It didn't take long before they both confessed the feelings they had been harboring for one another dating back months before Andy ever left Runway and Miranda in Paris.
Both decided that it would be best to keep their relationship low key, outside of the twins. Not only so they could enjoy the beginning of their relationship in peace and enjoy one another, but Miranda insisted on allowing her Andrea's budding career as a journalist to grow without the impact of becoming the main attraction on page six.
Privacy and discretion were something Miranda had perfected over the years. Mostly due to her ability to remain neutral and a mystery when it came to just about anything. Surprisingly enough, it was Miranda who had the most difficulty in not having those around her notice something was going on with their Dragon Lady.
Being in love suited Miranda. While she still kept her ability to scare the ever living shit out of anyone sharper then ever, those close to her (as close as anyone could actually be) couldn't help but notice the happiness that seemed to radiate off of her. Nigel and Emily were the first to notice. Miranda had become sassier in a more playful way which tended to leave them behind in shock much to her amusement. Nigel became to notice discreet little smiles at her phone. Emily for the first time in the 2 years of being Miranda's assistant heard her laugh. An actual hearty laugh that left the Brit standing frozen in wide eyed shock.
During one of their meetings Miranda sat in between both Nigel and Emily at the conference table. At one point she got up from the conference room table leaving her phone face up. When the phone lit up with a new text message both Nigel and Emily turned to sneakily read what it said. Both looked at each other shocked when they saw the message reading "Miss you Gorgeous, hope your meeting is going well" from someone saved simply as "Mine". They were even more shocked when they saw her looking at her phone trying to hide a smile and slightly blushing.
This lasted until Andy had to travel for a week to D.C. to cover a political scandal. Miranda was miserable, and making sure she took everyone down with her. The twins rolled their eyes at their Mother's grumpiness and teased her about moping around the house like a lost puppy. Andy found it endearing how cranky her love was without her, and giggled when she thought about everyone at Runway in their frantic state. If they only knew that their fearless leader was being a big baby because she missed her girlfriend.
To make matters worse there was some sort of leak that resulting in construction directly above Miranda's office. By 10:00 AM Miranda had, had enough and decided to work form home taking the Runway staff with her. After a few unsuccessful attempts at conducting a run through, and waiting for her staff to finally have everything they needed brought to the townhouse Miranda sat with a heavy sigh at her desk in the study. Spotting her phone at the corner of her desk she decided she needed to at least text Andy in order to get some sense of peace.
M: You are not allowed to go on anymore overnight trips. That's all.
A: I miss you too, my love :)
M: Will I get to FaceTime with you tonight?
A: We can.
A: I have a surprise for you.
M: And what would that be, my darling girl?
A: Lol. Now if I told you, what kind of surprise would it be?
M: That's all!
Grinning to herself Andy made her way down to baggage claim. Little did Miranda know that her Andrea was able to finish earlier than anticipated and was making her way home to surprise her. Not even Roy was called to pick her up to ensure the surprise wasn't spoiled.
Miranda started to make her way downstairs in time to hear the front door open. She rolled her eyes thinking it was one of her employees coming back with more items for the run through. She made it almost all the way downstairs without looking towards the door. When she finally did there was her Andrea standing with her gorgeous smile on full display.
Excitement outweighed her shock, completely skipping the last two steps Miranda all buy threw herself into Andrea's waiting arms while exclaiming "baby!" making the brunette laugh heartily. It always melted Andy's heart knowing that besides the twins she was the only one the older woman ever referred to with a pet name. Even her ex-husbands rarely received a sweetheart or a darling from the editor.
Leaning her forehead against Miranda's the brunette closed her eyes relishing in the feeling soft arms wrapping around her neck. Whispering "I missed you so much" before opening her eyes again she wrapped her arms even tighter around her love. Smiling sweetly Miranda replied "I missed you too, my darling."
Neither of them notice that just as Miranda had stepped off the stairs both Nigel and Emily had stepped out of the kitchen just in time to witness the sweet reunion. In her excitement Miranda completely forgot that her staff was at the townhouse. And neither of them noticed until one kiss led to another and they were having a full blown make out session like two teenagers. Emily was the first of the pair to recover from her shock and let out a squeaked "bloody hell."
Startled, Andy was the first to break off the kiss and turn to look wide eyes at their audience. Biting her lip she looked at Miranda muttering through her teeth "Babe you didn't tell me you had anyone over."
Looking at her two employees shocked faces Miranda had a hard time holding in her laughter. Even more so when she realized her lipstick was smeared on Andy's lips and Andy's hands were both fully grabbing the older woman's ass. Unable to keep from laughing Miranda hid her face in the other woman's neck and playfully bit her. " You didn't tell me you were going to be home today."
Grinning at the surprised yelp Miranda pulled back and took one of Andy's hands before turning up the stairs pulling her with her. Half way up the first set Miranda yelled almost singing "Ohhh Emily." Jumping up and moving closer to the stairs, "Yes Miranda." "Thaaaaat's aalll." After hearing both of the woman burst into laughter Emily turn to Nigel with wide eyes hissing "Bloody. Fucking. Hell Nigel!"
