That night she had no idea what to expect; Their shopping had gone pretty well but she had decided on a pair of dark jeans that hugged her body and a button down white shirt with a blue vertical lines and a leather jacket with black boots. Her mother had offered her to braid her hair but she decided to go with a ponytail, she was not going to survive having to tame her hair and it always ended up coming out of the braid.
Andy had never been the overly girly type of woman. She knew she had an amazing body even if her belly was not totally flat (testimony of her love for an occasional and random beer and smoking habits) but having done so many sports during her youth and doing Yoga did help a lot.
Hearing her doorbell she went straight out the door since she´d arrange with Miranda that her chauffer was to pick her up at 7 pm.
¨Hello, I´m Roy, Mss Priestley's chauffer. Please, come on in¨ A dark hair man with an impeccable suit and soft smile said when she was close enough
¨Hello Roy, please call me Andy¨ she told the man with a smile while getting into the car. She was so scared that the half hour trip felt like a 2 minute ride. She sat staring at the amazing two-floor house and got startled by the car door opening on its own.
She was about to thank the man when the front door opened to show Miranda looking amazingly sexy with her tight black dressing pants, loose-fitting grayish silk blouse and red high heels. ¨God that should be illigal¨ Andy thought to herself
¨Thank you Roy, have a good night. Hello Andrea¨ Miranda said smoothly while looking at the young woman up and down. She could admit that Andrea was beautiful even if she didn´t put any attention to her clothe and hair.
¨Thanks Roy¨ Andy said blushing while walking closer to the woman who kissed both her cheeks before turning to let her in ¨Hello Miranda, It´s good to see you again. Where are the girls?¨
Andy didn´t even have time to get her jacket off, the next thing she knew there were two little girls hugging her and making her stumble backwards against a soft body. She felt a pair of arms supporting her and let out a happy laugh while hugging both girls tightly.
¨Bobbsies please don´t injure her, she just arrived¨ Andy heard Miranda said from behind her and turn her head to see the older woman leaning against the door while holding her with an amused look on her face. They were so close that she could see the older woman´s blush and couldn´t help but look at those inviting lips.
¨Sorry Andy, we´re so happy you came¨ Caroline said while both let go and looked up at them
¨I´m so happy to see you two!¨ Andy said but before she could continue she heard the woman behind her clear her throat and speak ¨Why don´t you two go set the table girls?¨
¨Sure mom¨ both of them said and left running down the corridor; That´s when Andy realized she was still leaning into the older woman with a set of arms around her waist. Blushing like crazy she moved away from the woman ¨ I´m sorry Miranda, did I hurt you?¨ Andy asked a bit out of breath and rubbing the back of her neck nervously from having the woman so close
¨No Andrea, you didn´t, I figured my girls would get excited to see you. They´ve been talking about you non-stop¨ Miranda said with her quiet voice while letting go of the younger woman. She didn´t know what would happen if she kept her arms around her.
¨I hope you like lasagna, it´s my girl´s favorite¨ Miranda added while walking through the corridor with an extra sway of her hips. What was it with the stunning young woman and her own need to get her attention?
Andy, for her part simply liked her lips while staring at the other woman before following. The house was huge but inviting. The décor was simple yet classic and she was surprised to see so many pictures of the girls while growing and Miranda with them all through the main corridor. ¨How can this woman be consider a devil?¨
They made small talk while sitting at the table and Andy was surprised when it was Miranda who got the food onto the table before dishing it for everyone
¨Andy you´ll love it! Mom´s the best cook in the whole world!¨ Cass said while pouring herself and her sister grape juice
¨Would you like some wine Andrea? If not we have juice, beer or water¨ Miranda asked while sitting down and pouring herself a glass
Dinner was amazing; Andy had never been a wine drinker but that wine was simply great! All thoughts of being felt out of place went out of the window when the twins started retailing their daily life and a few stories where Miranda would sarcastically make inputs just to make them laugh. She´d never felt so comfortable with anyone and she was loving the woman´s interaction with her daughters
¨What about your family Andy?¨ Caro asked interested. These girls could be so mature that it amazed Andy.
"I grew up in LA with my mom, finished my high school there and came here to law school with a couple of my friends and my now ex but, after a while, my mom and step dad moved here since going back to LA was getting difficult for me and neither of us wanted to be apart for that long. I have a little step brother who's three years old but somehow is a little know it all already" She told the other three woman while laughing
"And what about your father?" Cass asked innocently
"Cassidy!" Miranda stared at her youngest by 5 minutes alarmed. God, her daughter had lesser filter than herself when it came to knowing things
"Sorry mom" The young girl said looking at her plate ashamed but felt her hand being squeezed and saw her mother´s loving smile
"Hey! It's ok, don't worry about it" Andy said while smiling. She knew something like this was bound to happened, it always did. "I didn't know him. All I know is that he died a few years ago and that he had study law, that's a big reason for me to get into it." She said while smiling and grabbing the young girls other hand in order to reassure her that she'd done nothing wrong.
"I'm sorry to hear that Andy, I bet he'd be proud" Caro said while looking at her mother for confirmation and earned herself a loving and proud smile from their mother. Miranda was constantly amazed by her girls' empathy and sensitive nature.
The rest of dinner was spent talking and laughing when they were startled by the front door opening which made Andy worriedly stand up as if to defend them.
"Sit down Andrea; It's just my assistant leaving the book for me to review tonight" Miranda told the young woman. She was amazed that this apparent clueless young girl had such amazing reactions and strong stance. It was as if the awkward and shy girl had gone out the window to be replaced by a strong and fierce woman and she had to admit it was simply hot.
Andy sat down while blushing and said quietly, while rubbing the back of her neck, "Sorry, forced habit"
To say Miranda was intrigued was an statement. Why would this young and funny girl so defensive and ready to defend anyone just because of a noise.
The rest of dinner was spent laughing before both girls were sent to their bedrooms to get ready to sleep with a promise to be tucked in while Andy was sent to Miranda's office to get comfortable.
Miranda entered her daughter's room after showing Andrea where to wait only to find them already in bed and talking to each other softly.
Imagine her shock they shared a look after seeing her and hearing Caroline ask her "You like her mom" the young girl said as if they were talking about the weather. "She's nice mom"
"Why would you say that darling?" Miranda asked while sitting on the foot of the bed
"You act like yourself with her. You're not yelling or demanding things and you laughed tonight"
To say Miranda was amazed was an understatement. "I do darling, I like her, but I can't simply ask her out " she told her daughters.
"You'd be surprised mom. We think she likes you and it´d be nice to see you happy again" Cass said which earned her a loving look
¨How are you two so amazing girls? ¨Miranda asked rhetorically while chuckling but staring lovingly at her girls. They´d always been like this; even after their father disappeared on them, sent the divorce papers to Miranda and never got in contact again after she signed.
¨We´re your daughters¨ they both said at the same time with a small smile on their faces which made Miranda laugh with unshed tears.
