"Do not ever threaten me again girl or I'll make your life hell; you do not know what I'm capable of!. You're lucky you are Andrea's best friend" Miranda said to Mary with a smile but death on her eyes. She'd been expecting the young woman to back off and get scared and yet was surprised when Mary got closer, chuckled and smiled softly
"Madam, I've face death, I've been in hell and made my way out and I can make my way back out if my sister's well being is on the table. Do not mistake me as a girl" Mary said while grabbing a stunned Miranda's hand before continuing "All i will tell you is that it was no threat meant to disturb you since i know your heart lays with Andy so just take it as a plea to take care of a loved one. I may not have your reach on the world but i do not fear you so suit yourself and do as you wish" Mary said facing the older woman with caring eyes
"How can i not take that as a threat since you said you'd make me suffer…" Miranda said softly and with unshed tears. Somehow she admired this woman's stance and way with words and found herself strangely secured
"I take it you've never had the "big sister speech" so I'm glad to explain to you that it basically means that you're not just getting that woman but also a huge and, in this case, loving people. Rest assure that i know you're just hating the fact that you don't feel threatened by me but needed to make your power known" Mary said while brushing softly a tear that had made its way down Miranda's cheek who didn't even stopped her
"And how the fuck would you know that? You don´t even know me" Miranda whispered but trying to sound harsh
"You agreed to take care of her even when being in shock, you invited me into your home without following my every move and you allowed me to take your hand and brush a tear away without pulling away or get scared" Mary said smiling at her
Miranda thought hard and looked into Mary's green eyes before chuckling and saying
"Well this is a first. I believe we'll get along"
"I'm sure we will "the Argentinean said before adding "Don't worry little A, everything's fine here"
This shocked Miranda who saw Andrea appear chuckling from behind a door that was well behind the young Latina
"This never gets old. Now that this has been settled can we go enjoy a drink?" Andy said watching Mary side hug Miranda
"How?" Miranda asked looking amazed at Mary but it was Andy who answered
"She has never shared that superpower my love"
"Come on, i need a beer" Mary said smiling and walking with her arm still on Miranda's shoulders who chuckled and shook her head at how bizarre this situation was.
Upon entering the living room they found Elisa and Charlotte sitting on the same couch while Lily and Doug sat in front leaving an individual couch were Andrea sat and pulled Miranda on her lap
"I'll get you a chair and a glass" Miranda said while assessing the sitting spaces but was stopped by a raised hand from Mary who simply grabbed a bottle and sat on the floor
"Well that's something i'd never thought i'd see, 10 minutes here and she's trained you Mira, some skill you got woman" Elisa said making everybody laugh while Miranda glared at her friend and Mary rolled her eyes with a smirk at her before asking with a serious face
"Looking for pointers?" This earned her a blushing Elise and had everyone laughing harder
They spent the next hour talking about trivial things up until Charlotte, Doug and Lily bid their goodbyes.
¨How did you two meet?¨ Elise asked the pair. Mary still on the floor even though one of the couches had been vacant for a while
¨I did an exchange and had to put up with this one for about four months, she couldn´t help but like me¨ Mary said while chuckling and making Andy roll her eyes
¨I didn´t like you and I still don´t. You´re an ass¨ Andy said while laughing along with the other women at the fake hurt look on her sissy´s face
¨The sad thing is she actually didn´t like me¨ Mary said chuckling
¨What? Really?¨ Miranda asked shocked
¨I was having the worst time in high school and being bullied even outside of school¨ Andy started explaining and smiled when her girlfriend gave her a side hug and kissed the top of her head so she turned to peck Miranda before continuing ¨This one here seemed to not care that I didn´t trust her and kept on helping me with my classes, homework and actually defending me at school¨
¨Seriously!? Why did you let her help you if you didn´t like her? How did you manage to become friends then?¨ Elise asked with a slight shock and a chuckle
¨She would pretend to sit at the dining table to have coffee while I did my homework and subtly suggested what would make it easier; she would look for me at lunch time since I always went to the football field with Doug and Lily and give me a bag full of food and left without another word and would walk a block behind when going to school but got closer the moment she saw anyone walking towards me; I never understood why they were scared of her enough to go away¨ Andy said smiling fondly at her sister. She hadn´t really acknowledge this to the Latina
¨You were never at the end of my angry stare¨ Mary said softly. She´d suffered worst than the girl and would never let the younger girl feel alone even if she knew the younger Andy didn´t like her. She´d vowed to protect her the first time she saw a ¨popular¨ girl throw a cup on juice on her.
¨Yes I have!¨ Andy said chuckling but frowned at her sissy´s neutral face ¨I haven´t?¨ she said strangely but continued the story
¨We were on a party and the guy I had a crush on, who had a girlfriend at the time, started making advances. I had been speaking with both Doug and Lily and got so shocked that I puked through a nearby window¨ Andy was blushing and laughing at the memory. It had hurt at the time but now it was the funniest memory she had
¨Oh my god!¨ Elise said laughing along with Miranda while Mary was chuckling softly at the story
¨What happened next?¨ Miranda asked
¨I started crying since everyone started laughing at me. I was about to run out of the house when she got right in front of me to face him¨ Andy continued
¨Did you hit him?¨ Elise asked
¨No, I did something worse¨ Mary smiled evilly ¨I made him pee himself¨ this made the two older women laugh so hard to have tears running down
¨How?¨ Elise needed to know
¨I had a lot of information on him screwing one his male best friend and giving his girlfriend Crabs and Chlamydia so I simply whispered in his ear he should make everyone stop messing with my sister if he wanted the information to remain secret¨ Mary said while smirking and shrugging and looked up to see the two women laughing and one with pure shock
¨What? You never told me that!¨ Andy said shocked at the new information
¨Why do you think the bullying stopped right away little one? No one messes with my family. Besides it wasn´t something you needed to know unless the bullying kept going¨ Mary said and was hugged strongly by Andy who jumped from the couch surprising everyone
¨Thank you¨ Andy said making Mary chuckle softly ¨I was awful to you and you still stood by and helped me¨
¨Don´t worry about it. I knew you didn´t trust me because of everything that was happening to you¨ Mary smiled softly and asked the other two women how they´d met. She had been really surprised at Miranda´s position in the world and felt a bit stupid at not knowing who she was.
"I should probably take my leave, it's getting late. Little A, should i take you to the consulate or are you staying here?" Mary said after few hours while standing up unsure
"Sit down Maria; you are staying here as well as you Elise and Andrea. I will not have you drive those bikes at this hour nor after having been drinking" Miranda said sternly at Mary
"I apologize but I don´t…" Mary said but looked unsure at Andy who smiled which made her and Elise look back weirdly.
¨Mary, you´re staying and that´s final. I know for sure you´ll be alright; you have your backpack with you¨ Andy told the woman
¨Ok, i´ll stay. Is there enough space? I could just take the couch¨ Mary said finally which made Miranda and Elise frown but accept the non verbal conversation
¨Maria, we have enough rooms. You will not be staying in the couch; let's get you two settled¨ Miranda said smiling softly at the suddenly shy Latina
Having said that and agreed they all made their way to their respective rooms. They were all ready to be over with this day
