Chapter 3
Miranda blinked her eyes, the sun was swinging directly in them, turning her head away from the light she thought " why didn't I close the curtains last night?" Her head pulsed slightly as she went to turn her body she realised there was a person laying next to her. Opening her eyes fully she looked an Andrea and began remembering the evening before. As Miranda tried to formulate in her brain the best course of action, Andrea moaned and rolled over right into Miranda who steadied herself by putting her arm around Andreas waist. Warmth spread through Miranda as she gasped at the full body contact. Andy opened her eyes at the sound thinking she new that noise from somewhere, as she looked up trying to focus on the face above her Andreas olfactory sense began to work as she smelt that beautiful heady aroma that was Miranda her brain began to fire on all cylinders.
"Miranda!"
"Good morning Andrea" Miranda gently hummed "we find ourselves in quite the predicament"
"Erm..."
"Eloquent this morning aren't we." Miranda snorted her laugh as she looked into Andreas eyes.
"Miranda, I am in your bed, in your arms."
"Now you're stating the obvious, really Andrea I was hoping I might get a little more out of you now that we have slept together". The humour in Miranda's eyes and voice was not lost on Andy.
"O.K. what would you like to know Miranda?"
"Why you left me?"
"Does is matter? I came back."
"It matters Andrea, it matters to me, please." Miranda almost begged.
Held in the safety of Miranda's arm Andy sighed "O.K. but please don't let go of me."
"Deal!" Miranda squeezed Andy gently and rubbed her back a little.
Andy shut her eyes "I..., it was because...," all of a sudden Andy moaned opened her eyes and with a rush of energy pushed herself up on her elbow looking down into Miranda's eyes "it was because of this Miranda, because I wanted this. To be with you, to hold you and I wanted to love you so much, be there for you, look after you and help you, but that day you wouldn't let me help, you had it all sorted and then when you passed over Nigel I thought my heart would break, so I ran."
Miranda stared at Andy trying to find the words to reply to this honest explanation, searching frantically for something witty to say Miranda suddenly realised she didn't need to be witty or scathing just honest, as honest as her Andrea was being. "Then I am glad you returned to me Andrea" with that Miranda simply leaned up on her elbow and kissed Andy on the lips, a soft gentle kiss which Andy returned. As they broke apart both women smiled shyly at each other.
