Hey guys! I wanted to thanks everyone so much, i never thought to actually post anything since i´m not the writer type but i couldn´t help myself. English is not my mother language so i´m sorry for any mistakes i may have.
I wanted to, maybe, make this a crossover with The Princess Diaries which was the actual reason for me to start writing. Let me know the thoughts.
It was 5 minutes after hanging up that Elise was making her way into her office without even stopping. The blonde woman´s boots resounded all around the office with determined steps of a cleared pissed off woman.
Miranda looked up to see Elise with a leader jacket, a pair of tight jeans and her helmet under her arm with her purse on her other shoulder. She would die before admitting it aloud but Elise was the closest thing to a sister that she´d ever had; they´d met when she was only starting her career at 23 years old as an intern at Runway. Having shared an apartment was rough since Miranda had just arrived from London and Elise was trying to succeed as an engineer in information security. They were so different from each other that they just clicked and were, after almost 25 years, family to each other.
¨I´m going to kill that little shit. I broke at least 7 driving rules just to get here before her. What the fuck was she thinking¨ Elise said while throwing her helmet over the couch before making her way to Miranda´s desk with her laptop already out and with a video ready to play.
The video clearly showed Janet yelling something to the girls while they played on the swings before they yelled back and kept on playing. Pushing another set of videos right next to that one Miranda could clearly see her darling daughters playing and speaking with each other while on the next one that brainless girl was met by a man and started making out and humping each other behind a tree. Playing it forward at least 10 min she saw her girls look around and make their way to a young woman with a ponytail and start talking with her, Andrea; while on the other camera the couple had disappeared. Miranda thought to herself while assessing the woman.
¨Not if I get her first¨ Miranda said lowly
¨I´m sorry Miranda, I got a call from security. The girls are making their way up. The owner of the nannies company is on his way as well as the police and I have no knew from Janet¨ Emily said dutifully and couldn´t believe her ears when she heard a soft ¨Thank you Emily, that´s all¨
The ding of the elevator and the sound of laughter had Miranda flying off of her sit
¨Caroline! Cassidy!¨ she yelled surprising Emily who had never heard her boss speak louder than a whisper before making her way to her desk and setting to keep with her work
¨Mom!¨ both girls yelled and instantly went to hug their mother
¨Oh god, I'm so glad you´re both ok!¨ Miranda said while kneeling in front of them and hugging them close to her
¨Andy helped us mom, we got ice cream on our way here since Janet never came back!¨ Caro said excitedly
¨Yes, she even missed her class to get us here safely! ¨ Cass added before both girls squealed at the sight of their god mother and went straight to hug the woman leaving Miranda kneeling on the floor in front of a young woman who extended her hand to help her stand but somehow Miranda was locked in place, for the first time in her almost fifty years, by those deep soulful brown eyes and stunning smile.
Miranda decided to take the hand and both loved the soft feeling of the other´s hand ¨Hello Andrea, I cannot thank you enough for taking care and bringing my bobbsies back to me. I´ll be sure to let your professor know the reason for your absence. You have my personal phone if there´s anything you may need¨ she said in her usual soft voice. She could see the hideous sense of style the young woman had but somehow it was endearing on the girl; she could only imagine what those hideous clothe hid beneath.
¨I´m just glad I was there to help them, don´t worry about it Miranda¨ Andy said blushing at the other woman which made her smirk and answer
¨Never turn down an offer like that from a person in a high place Andrea; besides my daughters mean everything to me¨ Miranda said with a flirty yet small smile and squeezing the woman´s bicep; she was not a touchy person yet she felt compelled to touch Andrea to know every detail and this, scared the shit out of her. ¨What is it with this girl!?¨ she thought to herself
They were startled by the arrival of an older man along with Emily ¨Miranda, this is Mister Moors. He owns the company that employs Janet¨ at this Andy could see how the woman´s features changed and purse her lips before noticing the other woman in the office make her way closer to her ¨I´m Elise, the girl's god mother. Feel free to let me know whatever you need as well. This two are really important to me¨ the woman said in an almost whisper and discreetly gave her a card before squaring her shoulders and walking right next to Miranda to face the man.
Andy was amazed when she read ¨Engineer in information security and private investigator¨ so she jumped when feeling two set of hands hugging her waist. Looking down to see each twin, with a scared faces, leaning into each of her sides she felt such a need to protect them that is shocked her even if she had ,unconsciously, put her arms around each of them
¨Sit down Mr. Moors¨ Miranda said while she turned to go to her sit. She was not expecting to see her daughters nestled into the young woman. They´d never trusted strangers and had never seeked out comfort from anyone but herself or Elise; not even their father or her ass of an ex husband. She decided on saying nothing but turned to Elise who understood almost immediately
¨Andrea I am going to need you to stay for a while. We have the police on the way. Will that be ok?¨ Elise said while taking her leather jacket off and showing her strong arms which made Andy widened her eyes at the sight. The expression didn´t go unnoticed by Miranda who got jealous almost instantly ¨This is absurd, she´s half my age.¨ she thought
¨It won´t be a problem at all, come on sweeties, let's sit¨ Andy said but looked at Miranda for confirmation and smiled brightly at the nod and twist of her lip. ¨God, how can anyone be so gorgeous, powerful and caring at the same time. She´s so sexy, the thing´s i´d do to her¨ Andy thought socking herself and blushing while going to the couch, she had to stop thinking like this right now
¨Ms. Priestly, what is the meaning of this? Police?¨ Mr. Moors asked getting worried but was cut off by Emily and a hysterical looking Janet who visibly paled at the sight of the twins of the couch. Andy narrowed her eyes at her and hugged the girls even tighter.
¨Yes, police, given that your employee seems to think that meeting her…special friend… behind a tree far from the playground and then leaving for more than 15 minutes while neglecting my daughters at central park and leaving them to their devices is acceptable.¨ Miranda said. Her eyes never leaving Janet who had yet to say anything
¨Janet, explain yourself right now! ¨ Mr. Moors asked angrily while standing to face the younger woman who was about to start crying. He was a family man himself and had started his company so as to make sure there were responsible people looking after kids; this was unacceptable and embarrassing
¨I´m so sorry, I didn´t mean for them to be in danger¨ Janet said almost crying
¨You´re fired and consider yourself blacklisted, I will be pressing charges. That´s all¨ Miranda said while shacking her hand to have them escorted out by security that had gone with Janet made her way up since they´d been informed by Emily.
After they were gone Elise got on her phone to speak with a friend who was a cop and was setting everything for Miranda while she went to her daughters. She was so relieved that Andrea had been the one to find them, so attentive, caring, young, beautiful… ¨stop it! Not now¨ Miranda told herself. How could a person she´d just met evoke so many emotions from her?
Andy stood and left her place to the older woman and simply loved the sight of the three of them hugging.
¨Miranda I will leave my number in case there´s anything you may need about this whole thing. I´ve already given your twins my number in case they ever need anything, I hope that´s all right. I need to be going ¨ she told the older woman; she didn´t want to leave but she needed to meet her friends.
¨Oh, of course, we´ve kept you long enough. I hope you consider having dinner with us sometime to thank you¨ Miranda said softly while hugging her daughters.
Only after agreeing she said good bye to everyone, which included a hug from each twin and a promise for a dinner some day she was allowed to leave.
Andy made her way out of the building not believing what her day had brought and got startled by her own phone so she moved quickly to answer
¨Andy where the hell are you? You were supposed to be here an hour ago! We´ve already started¨ Lily said loudly on the phone making her smile and laugh
¨Oh, you wouldn´t believe me if I told you, I'll be there in 30 min¨
¨Is Nate coming? ¨ Lily asked. She´d never really liked him, Andy deserved better and he simply behaved like a teenager getting drunk when he wasn´t working or disrespecting her every chance he got.
¨I don´t know, he said he might go if he wasn´t too hanged over¨ Andy said. She knew where this was going and she was actually agreeing with her best friend
¨You´re too good for him, I don´t understand why you´re still together seriously¨ And there it was, Andy thought. She loved Lily but she had literally no filter, though this time she actually thought about it a bit more before answering truthfully ¨Yes I am¨
¨Oh wow, are you ok? ¨ Lily asked. They´d spoken about this so many times that it actually shocked her that Andy was finally seeing things.
This question got Andy laughing, she didn´t know what came over her but she was happy the twins and Miranda were plaguing her mind; she´d never question her sexuality and she didn´t care at all that her attraction to the woman had been so sudden, she was overwhelmed by how complete she´d felt at the mere sight of the woman and those two trouble makers tucked at her sides. For the first time it had all fell right and she´d felt complete.
She decided she was going to talk to Nate. Even if she never saw Miranda or the twins again; even the thought made her miserable, she just wouldn´t keep lying to herself. She´d already decided on a career that wasn´t her passion; she might as well follow her heart on another aspect of her life.
