On Sunday night Andy had her few boxes packed in a cab and was on her way to Miranda Priestly's townhouse. The call from Emily was a surprise to Andy, but she was happy that she got the job. Andy approached the massive townhouse with anticipation and rang the doorbell. The door opened within seconds and Miranda stood in front of her. The older woman glanced over her body and this made Andy feel self-conscious, what did Miranda think of her? "Good evening Andrea"
"Hey, I brought my suitcase and a few boxes, I hope that is okay" replied Andy.
"Yes, that is in order, your room is up the stairs, the second room to the right, go set down your things and then I would like to speak to you, meet me in the study" Miranda said and pointed to the room on Andy's left.
Andy carried her belongings to her new room, the room was big and beautiful and had a double bed, desk and another cabinet with a mirror. Andy headed downstairs and sincerely hoped that her conversation with Miranda will go better than the interview. She had googled Miranda and learned that Miranda was 45 Years old, she was basically the Queen of fashion and she was never married, she got her two girls from artificial insemination, because she really wanted children and she never met the right person to marry. Andy was glad to know that Miranda was not married…which she knew was totally inappropriate, she should not care whether her employer is married, but that did not stop her from still being relieved. She knocked on the study door and Miranda looked up and gestured for Andy to come in. "Andrea, I would just like to say that you got this job, because of the fact that Caroline likes you so much, she is an excellent judge in character and I trust her judgement. Do not disappoint me." Miranda stated while studying Andy's face. "Miss Priestly I promise that I will do my best to take care of your girls." Andy said, and Miranda replied "You may call me Miranda. I am a very busy woman, that is why I need you there to look after my darlings. They are everything to me and although I wish that I could be there for them all the time, it is not possible with my career. They are three years old, they go to a small playgroup in the mornings and will soon have other activities as well. You must be there to provide them with whatever they need and to keep contact with me to let me know what is going on. I made this folder with all the information that you could possibly need. I pay you a very reasonable amount, but it is not for nothing, if I want my girls with me on a business trip, you will accompany us, if I have to work late hours you will tuck them in and wait for my return to tell me about their days. Do you understand?".
Miranda handed the file to Andy, Andy took the heavy file, she was impressed by Miranda's dedication to her children. She looked into those beautiful blue eyes and said, "I understand, and I give you my word that I will look after them as if they are my very own children." Miranda tilted her head and regarded Andy with a piercing look. "Well then, let me officially go introduce you to them.".
Miranda guided Andy to the living room where the girls were watching a movie. The younger woman had seemed sincere when she talked about her care for the children, which made Miranda very happy. She could see why Caroline could trust those big brown doe eyes, Andrea had a certain innocence that Miranda found alluring. When they reached the living room the girls turned, and Caroline ran to Andy and jumped into her arms, "Hey Andy, mommy said that you are going to look after me and Cassidy?". Andy laughed and put Caroline on her hip and replied, "Yes darling I am going to look after you." Andy seemed so natural with the girls as she bent down and extended her hand to Cassidy, "I'm Andy and you must be Cassidy, your sister told me all about you." Cassidy giggled and shook Andy's hand. Miranda felt something inside her tingle when she saw the three of them together and she knew that she had made the right choice.
Andy said goodnight to the girls and Miranda, refreshed in the bathroom across from her room and climbed into bed with the file. She was supposed to see that the girls eat breakfast at 8am – they had a chef, but only for dinner- then she drops the girls off at playgroup at 9am and picks them up at 2pm. Easy enough.
The next morning Andy got up at 5am so that she could go for a run before making the girls' breakfast. It was still summer, so she decided to wear a sports-bra, a white tank top and pair of black exercise shorts. The air was refreshing in the morning and Andy got a good run in- Miranda's "fat" comment did not sit well with her- while taking in her new surroundings. This area is much nicer than her old neighbourhood. She finished her run, and walked into the kitchen to get some water. As she walked into the kitchen, the fridge door closed, and Miranda jumped and dropped the pitcher of orange juice when she saw Andy standing there. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I just went jogging and wanted to get some water." Andy blurted while bending down to start picking up the broken pieces. When she looked up, she swallowed hard, Maranda was wearing a silk night dress that was covered by a robe that fell open when she dropped the pitcher. Andy's gaze looked up passed creamy legs that were perfectly formed, she could tell that Miranda could dance, when she reached Miranda's thighs, her brain could not function, and she got up to force her eyes away from the legs and her thoughts away from imagining having those sexy thighs wrapped around her while she…no no no!!. Miranda had an irritated expression on her face, but it softened when she took in Andy's appearance. Andy's slim body was toned and well-shaped, the sweat on Andy's shirt drew Miranda's attention to her perfectly round breasts that were begging to escape the tank top. Andy looked panicked, obviously afraid that Miranda was about to bite her head off, but Miranda just said, "Andrea it's fine, go get ready, I'll take care of this." Miranda's eyes lingered on Andy's ass as she left the room and immediately scolded herself.
Andy was eating cereal and chatting with the girls when Miranda descended the stairs, dressed in heels and a red dress that made it hard for Andy to tear her eyes away. Miranda entered the kitchen and said goodbye to Andy and the girls, and Andy could not help to be jealous when Miranda gave both of the girls goodbye kisses and merely nodded to Andy.
Andy dropped the girls off at their playgroup and worked on research for her dissertation until she had to pick them up again, Miranda had a driver but had given Andy the keys to her Mercedes to drive the girls around with. Andy had a great time bonding with the girls over lunch, after which they played a game of hide and seek and then they did a puzzle together. Miranda came home in time for dinner, the chef-Julie- made a delicious lasagne for dinner. Miranda seemed fatigued, but spoke with the girls about their day. The twins excitedly told Miranda about their games with Andrea and Miranda would laugh and meet Andy's eyes every now and then. Andy loved seeing Miranda with her children, she seemed so happy. Miranda tucked the girls in and knocked on Andy's door, Andy looked up from a book and sat up, "Goodnight Andrea, I am pleased that the girls get along so well with you." Andy was stunned at the compliment and simply said, "As am I, sleep well Miranda."
In the coming weeks Andy settled into the routine of her new life. Miranda did not exchange many words with her, but Andy learned what made Miranda happy, angry, what pleased her and what she hated. She tried to please Miranda as much as she could and in return Miranda seemed softer. Andy loved Miranda's laugh and would very much like to be the cause of it.
PLEASE comment to let me know whether I should continue the story. Hope you guys like this chapter.
