Andy sighed loudly and played on her new phone in a bored manner. She was lying on the sofa with her head resting in Miranda's lap. Every so often, Miranda would reach down and stroke her hair softly, but that wasn't enough for Andy. She wanted Miranda's full attention, and that was only going to happen when Miranda had finished her call.

"Make sure they send a different photographer tomorrow. I don't want to see the same one again. Those shots he took last time looked as if he was taking pictures of the fountain, and the models just happened to be in the frame." Miranda said in her usual light, but dismissive tone.

"I will leave them another message, Miranda." Emily answered at once, sounding just as high-strung as Andy remembered her being.

"That should be all for now. I'll call you again if I need you." Miranda declared simply, hanging up her phone before Emily could reply.

"Finally." Andy said, pouting slightly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that my little princess can't go more than a few minutes without my undivided attention." Miranda replied with a shake of her head, though her small smile spoiled her tone.

"As a matter of fact, I can't. You'll need to make it up to me somehow." Andy answered brattily, continuing to play on her phone.

"And how should I do that?" Miranda asked with interest, stroking Andy's hair once more.

Andy smiled and thought about what she should ask for. Miranda would give it to her if it was within her love's power. Miranda had quite a bit of sway all through the city, so Andy's main task was narrowing down what she wanted. The newest iPhone? Maybe when they came out with the next model, as Miranda had already given her the latest one. What about tickets to somewhere? That was an idea.

This whole thing had been quite awkward for Andy at first. 22 years of life experience had told her that being spoiled, selfish, and bratty was not something to aspire to. Yet that was what Miranda had wanted from her. Andy had been confused, thinking that Miranda wanted to establish a Sugar Mommy/Sugar Baby type of relationship, even though they'd been dating for months. Miranda actually did, kind of. Only it was much more involved than that.

Miranda had made a very interesting proposal to Andy at the sixth-month mark of their relationship. Her girlfriend wished to recapture some of the maternal feelings she'd had while raising her children. Miranda's twin girls had begun maturing beyond the point where baubles and trinkets could easily buy their delight. Miranda still loved them, of course, but she needed a new outlet for her feelings. That was where Andy came in.

Of course, there were a few strings attached. In exchange for these material perks, Andy would need to act as if she really was a child for the duration of their play. That meant living together with Miranda and surrendering most aspects of her freedom as an adult. Well, all aspects, really. Andy hadn't been wild about the suggestion, but it sounded as if Miranda really wanted to try it. So for two weeks, they had played at their very unique combination of being both girlfriends as well as pseudo-mother and pseudo-daughter.

Surprisingly, they had both taken to it well. Andy had a more difficult time with it, as suddenly being treated like a child subject to her mother's rules was obviously chaffing. Even harder was having to accept embarrassing punishments for breaking the rules, like being sent to her room or the occasional light spanking. Not that punishments like that came about too often. Miranda wanted her to be happy, after all.

Andy was happy, to tell the truth. However stifling it was to not have adult freedoms was more than equaled by not having adult responsibilities. Andy could sleep in every day (either in her room, or during the frequent occasions when she wanted to sleep together with Miranda) and walk into the kitchen, where Miranda would have left breakfast out for her. After that, Andy could do whatever she wanted, so long as she acted within the rules Miranda had set for her. She could go back to sleep, she could watch tv, she could read, she could play games on her phone, and she could even surf the internet, though Andy was stymied sometimes by the parental blocks Miranda had placed on her laptop and phone. She had no responsibilities at all. It was just like the summer vacations she remembered as a kid.

Whenever Miranda was home was when it became really fun, though. What Andy asked for, she got, whether it was getting pizza delivered, or a diamond bracelet, or just the chance to cuddle with Miranda on the sofa in front of the TV. Perhaps surprisingly, their attraction to each other did not lessen. It actually increased once they had both shed any awkwardness they might have felt at their age-play. Andy was particularly interested in making love to Miranda, eager as she was to please the woman who had shown such love to her.

When their two week trial period ended, both of them wanted to extend it. Two months passed rather quickly with neither of them wanting to end their lengthy game. Now it had been more than six months since Andy had kissed the trappings of adulthood goodbye. Andy was dimly aware that her driver's license had expired at the end of the year, and that her measly bank account had been closed, but she honestly didn't care. Miranda gave her everything she wanted and more.

Andy was becoming more and more child-like as time went on. But that was the idea, wasn't it? What was an act before was natural to her now. Over the last six months, Andy had become highly dependent on Miranda, and that was exactly the way they both wanted it. She loved being Miranda's "little princess" and even slipped up a few times (okay, more than a few) by calling Miranda "mom" and once, while she was half-asleep, "mommy".

Miranda took it in stride, as she did with most everything. Perhaps she hadn't been expecting their game to go this far, but if so, Miranda did not show it. Andy was grateful for that. Privately, Andy wasn't certain if she could go back to taking care of herself like before. She had become too used to Miranda doing everything for her. Plus, Andy had become well and truly spoiled by now. Which was why she felt no shame whatsoever at wheedling something out of Miranda for having the audacity to take a call during their alone time.

"How about...tickets to the Frozen musical next month?" Andy asked hopefully, looking up at Miranda.

"Those have all sold out, sweetheart. Months ago, even." Miranda answered reluctantly.

"I'm sure you can get two measly tickets. If you want me to forgive you, anyway." Andy said at once, playing up her brattiness.

"Two tickets? You want me to go as well?" Miranda asked softly, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course. You'll be taking me there. You should watch it with me too." Andy replied, sounding as if it that should have been obvious.

"Perhaps Emily can ask around." Miranda mused, sounding as if she was mostly talking to herself.

"Tell her the seats can't be too far in the back." Andy added quickly, knowing that Emily would try to take the first tickets she could get her hands on.

Miranda laughed softly and returned to stroking Andy's hair. Andy closed her eyes and smiled. It was so very comfortable to lie there with her head in Miranda's lap, knowing that Miranda would take care of her every need and want. Seeing the musical would be fun, of course, just like it was nice to have the absolute best phone on the market in her hands. But all of that paled in comparison to the feeling of being loved and cherished by the woman that she loved most in the world. Andy, as Miranda's little princess, was as happy as she had ever been in her life.

(So! Unlike my other stories, I wrote this without really knowing where I was going with it. Did I want it to be more sexual, like with my other stories, and if so, how sexual? Should I put in AB/DL themes? That would be entirely new territory for me, but I'd like to expand my reach. I wasn't certain, so I decided to end it a little early and seek out comments about where it should go. This is also my first dip into this particular fandom, and I'm still feeling it out.

Please tell me what you might want from a setup like this! I can't really continue the story without a little bit of guidance!)
