Andréa woke with the sun and found her new lover wrapped around her sleeping peacefully. As she remembered the night's events she smiled to herself and hummed with pleasure. She knew that trying to return to sleep was pointless so she watched Miranda sleep for a few minutes. Looking at the time she knew that Miranda would be up soon and would want coffee. She gently untangled herself from the sleeping woman and covered her back up. Kissing her softly on the forehead she walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

Feeling the kiss woke Miranda up instantly but it took her a minute to realize that Andréa had moved out of the bed. Hearing the shower she got up and followed her lover into the bathroom. She quietly slid into the shower behind the young woman and wrapped her arms around her. "My girlfriend better not see you in my shower."

"Oh really? And why is that?" Andréa chuckled as she wrapped her arms backward locking them in an embrace.

"She is really possessive when it comes to me and she doesn't like to share."

"Good neither does mine," she turned in the embrace and locked her arms around the editor's neck, kissing her thoroughly. "Good morning, my lovely Ice Queen."

"Good morning my Princess," she greeted back beginning to suck on the neck presented to her. Hearing the moans she elicited she began to make her way down her lover's body stopping quickly at proud peaks before slipping to her knees and bringing her lips to a dripping core. Her lover was wet and she moaned her approval. "Is this all for me?" she asked coyly running her tongue through the sticky heat. A groan was her only reply as she drank from her lover. Standing back up she slipped two fingers into a slick entrance and began a steady rhythm.

"FUCK! Oh Ra I'm so close baby. Please don't stop… don't stop!" She began to babble as she tumbled over into her climax, what surprised Miranda what that she tumbled over her own when strong muscles clamped over her fingers effectively trapping them together. Slowly Miranda pulled her fingers free as Andréa gasped at the loss. "Mmmmm… Good morning to me," she smirked as she kissed the editor, and then giggled because Miranda rolled her eyes at the gurgle of her stomach.

"Come on let's feed this monster." They quickly washed then jumped out of the shower throwing on robes before heading down stairs for a quick breakfast.

They had been sitting in the den watching a movie and making out like a couple of teenagers when the door bell rang. "That's odd are you expecting anyone?"

"No, but I will get the door if you will go get some more popcorn." Miranda kissed her lover and went to her room to put some clothes on before getting the door. She was surprised to find James standing on her door step.

"Mira, are the girls ready?" he tried to over look the Northwestern hoodie and the yoga pants his ex wife had on. He had never seen her so underdressed.

"The girls?" she gave him a confused look.

"Yes, Mira our girls, you know twin redheads about ten? Please tell me that they are ready we have reservations for lunch," James was getting frustrated.

"OH! Didn't they call you? They are not here," Miranda invited him in and closed the door.

Hearing the door close Andréa came out from the kitchen. "Ra who was tha… umm" she turned and went back into the kitchen racing up the back stairs in a mad dash for the bedroom for her clothes.

"Who was that Mira and what was she doing… no I don't think I want to know. How can you let the girls be around this? Mira what are you doing with a…" James trailed off as he looked at the editor.

"Sorry Miranda." The young woman walked into the room fully clothed but looking much like the fashion maven in sweats and a t-shirt.

"Sit down Darling." Miranda pulled her lover down next to her before turning to her ex. "James, this is Andréa Sachs; Andréa, James the girls' father."

"We've met. Well not in person but on the phone," the young woman flashed him a bright smile and extended her hand. "Oh I forgot the water, just a sec." she jumped from the couch and ran into the kitchen.

"You are her assistant… YOU are sleeping with your assistant? Mira you can't do this! Do the girls know? How can you do that with the girls here? I won't let you Miranda." He began attacking his ex wife. "That is sick. It's just wrong! She… she is a woman and… and… is it serious? What are you doing she is half your age and" he trailed off again.

Andréa watched her love shrink into herself. Becoming smaller and smaller with each word. She finally had enough. "And what? I am a gold digging whore who cannot look past all the dollar signs? I have news for you James; I have no intention of taking her money. I am well off all on my own, and yes we are very serious." She turned her back to the man as she called out, "Auntie I need the girls here please. You can wait in the foyer." Finally she turned to the woman who had her soul. "Ra? Please sweetheart talk to me." She wrapped the woman in her arms and began to rock the now shaking woman.

The smell of roses permeated the air just before two redheads popped into the room with two blondes. "Mom!"

"Mama!"

"Crap Caro we forgot to call Dad!"

"Cassidy tone."

"Sorry Mama!"

"Dad we're sorry! We were supposed to call you last night to tell you we were spending the night at Yaya's." Caroline walked over to her father and gave him a hug then walked over to her mother and Andréa and gave them each hugs and kisses. "Sorry Mom, we were going to do it but we forgot. Dite kinda got us all excited."

"Yeah we're really sorry." Cassidy followed her sister with giving hugs to the adults then hung on to Andy. "Come on Caro lets go get our bags." The girls left the room.

"I love how I get all the blame. It never fails, take a kid, get the blame for something. Anyway, I got to go but when it gets calm oh wise one, I need to talk to you. Toodles!" and with that one of the blondes was gone.

"James I…" Miranda started but was cut off by the twins as they once again made an appearance.

"Bye Mom! Bye Mama! See you tomorrow!" the girls gave more hugs and kisses then went to wait for their father by the door.

"Give me some time Miranda," and with a nod to the two women he left.

AN: So sorry I know it has been a while I was off for break and didn't post anything. I am back and just getting started I will have a few more chapters up tonight. I hope everyone is enjoying my little tale though it does move rather fast here in the beginning. Reviews would be awesome!
