Miranda woke with a start at having heard a noise but realized it must have been the twins or her guests. The previous night´s events came into her mind and she started to analyze what her relationship with Andrea was going to bring and how to tell her bobbsies that they´d been invited to a party as part of the Princess´s family.
Actually, Andrea herself didn´t know so how the hell was she supposed to know what to do when said Princess might not want to go at all. She turned around in said woman´s arms to see her beautiful Andrea´s sleeping face and nestled herself even deeper into the younger woman not wanting to get up yet but she had to get breakfast for her girls and have some coffee. Giving the sleeping woman a sweet kiss she got up with a smile and made her way to the kitchen to find Mary with a coffee in her hand
¨Good morning María, did you sleep well?¨ She said while entering and was surprised to see Patricia snout at Mary´s lap while being pet. Patricia had never been aggressive but she had never allowed strangers to be near her thus her shock. ¨Well, I guess this is what it means about animals sensing people´s intentions¨ Miranda thought
¨Hi, yeah, you have a really comfortable bed there¨ Mary said smiling at the woman before adding ¨I hope it´s all right I made some coffee and gave this one some food that I found in the washing room. She was asking to be let in and went straight to the food so I thought… sorry, that was not my place, I should´ve wait for you¨ Miranda was shocked to see Mary apologize and look unsure when she had been the opposite the night before
¨Do not worry, you actually helped me out since Patricia would surely be barking if anyone was up and she was still out¨ Miranda told the young woman while squeezing her hand to reassure her
¨She´s beautiful and so well behaved¨ Mary said softly while petting the St Bernard who snuggled against the brunet
¨I´ve had her ever since she was a puppy and she has been my constant companion but she is really picky when it comes to strangers so it´s quite amazing she´s taken to you¨ Miranda told the woman while sitting in the kitchen counter which had Patricia go straight to her.
¨They are great company¨ Mary said with longing in her eyes shocking Miranda but recovered and asked quietly ¨Did you sleep well?¨ smiling at the older woman
¨Yes, I'm surprised I managed to stay in bed until 9 am¨ Miranda found herself at ease with the Latina and was reassured that the question didn´t seem forced
The answer made the brunet chuckle ¨And here I was surprised I woke up at 7. I´m sure having your girlfriend there helped forget the clock¨
¨Of course it did! I´m amazed with how much Andrea´s presence helps mine and my girl's lives¨ Miranda said smiling. It felt good to be able to be this open but she couldn´t point as to why this woman´s presence made her want to share her mind
¨When reciprocated, respect and understanding make an even better relationship than love alone does¨ Mary said with a smile and made the older woman chuckle
¨Why do you speak as if you were a thousand years old?¨ Miranda asked intrigued
¨Don´t know, just do.¨ Mary said chuckling to herself before asking the question that was on everybody´s mind ¨Would you follow her?¨
At this Miranda stopped mid sip and stared at the other woman with shock. She didn´t really know if she should tell the other woman about her talk with the twins
¨Would you?¨ Miranda asked after a few minutes of pondering. She didn´t really know if the woman was being nosy or real concern about her friend
¨Yes¨ Mary said strongly before looking straight into Miranda´s blue eyes ¨Yes I would. But I only need my hands to do my job as a Physical Therapist and I do not have daughters to think about¨
¨I´m scared. My bobbsies love her and Clarisse¨ Miranda started but stopped to stare into her coffee and think about how to continue ¨And so do I¨ she finished looking up at her companion after about five minutes of thinking
¨Miranda…¨ Mary started but waited until the older woman was looking back at her ¨There is no shame in taking your time or preferring a distant relationship so your girls keep their friends and school¨ after waiting for her words to sink into the older woman who had tears falling down her eyes ¨All I will ask of you is that you be honest because it´s not only your heart at stake. There is no fault in making your girls priority nor is it respecting your heart but there are ways and time to do both. Does this make sense?¨
Miranda´s brain was going a mile per minute ¨I want to be with her, I have never felt like this!... God even my beautiful twins told me they want Andrea in their life regardless of what happened with my relationship and that they do not care where it has to be to have our family together¨
Mary got the chair closer and hugged the older woman tight and let her cry on her shoulder for a good five minutes. It was probable the first time Miranda let herself cry in front of anyone who wasn´t Elise and she was feeling so relieved that it was working to lift her spirit.
¨Why are you feeling so much angst and sadness then?¨ Mary whispered while holding her tightly once she felt the older woman was relaxing into the hug and waited until she was ready to answer
¨Because I don´t want to ruin her. It was because of me that she got in troubles and that the press got word¨ the white haired beauty answered softy
¨That´s not the real reason and you know it. I don´t even have to respond to that¨ Mary separated from the hug and sat right in front on the older woman who stared shocked. Miranda knew that it had all been Steven´s fault and whoever wanted to hurt the royal family
¨I´m too old¨ Miranda answered again but it earned her a chuckle from Mary that made her start to get frustrated
¨I have two daughters¨ she kept going but it kept nagging at her how the Latina looked at her
¨I don´t know what to do about my job¨ she kept going and this one earned her a knowing look from Mary that made her get angry
¨What do you want me to say? I´m scared I'll hurt her and keep her from her future, she deserves better than me! I´m just a fucking dragon as they say and I'm scared to leave everything just for her to realize that she could do so much better than an old woman with two kids. I don´t want to get hurt again¨ The white haired beauty was in tears by know but was shocked at the reaction from the other woman
¨There we are! See, that wasn´t so hard…¨ Mary told her with a big smile and shocking her even more since she started retelling what she´d said to the woman and it was little by little that she started to put things together on her own
¨What the hell? Do they teach Psychology in Physical Therapy in Argentina or something?!¨ Miranda asked angry but relived at the younger woman. She saw angst in her green eyes but got a smile and a chuckle at her question
¨No, well yeah it is a class but I can assure you I… uhm¨ Mary stuttered and looked to the floor for a moment ¨I´m just trying to ensure my sister happiness¨ she finished with a side smile and took a breath before she finished ¨so? What´s the verdict lady dragon? ¨ smirking at Miranda who chuckled through tears and smiled
¨That you are weird as hell and a bit crazy¨ Miranda answered smirking at the younger woman. She enjoyed speaking with her girlfriend´s sissy a lot; she enjoyed having someone straight forward and realized why her beautiful Andrea considers her a sister.
¨I was talking about something we didn´t already know your honor¨ Mary answered chuckling while doing an impressive eye roll
¨What the hell! How do your eyes roll so much!¨ Miranda asked jumping from the chair alarmed which had the younger woman laugh hard at her
¨Because I've listened to too much crap throughout my life¨ Mary said before sipping on her coffee chuckling
¨What do you mean? ¨ Miranda asked
¨We were talking about you and what´s important here is Andy, you and the girls. My story is not that interesting. Now I will simply tell you that you are being your own restriction to the relationship¨
Miranda sat down again and they stayed silent while drinking their coffee for the next few minutes until she broke the silence again
¨Why are you being so nice?¨ Miranda asked curiously and earned a curious look from Mary
¨What do you mean?¨
¨I know you´re worried about Andrea but comforting me isn´t really a part of the deal. I don´t know, you confuse me because somehow I know Andrea was not the only reason for you to talk to me ¨ Miranda said frowning a bit at the other woman
¨Even if I don´t really know you I know you´re a good person but I sensed there was something blocking you, am I making myself clear?¨ Mary said shrugging and sipping into her coffee
¨Thank you¨ Miranda whispered having calmed down and feeling much lighter
Mary smiled brightly at her before saying ¨Any time¨ which left both in a tranquil silence until Miranda couldn´t help the question
¨Why did you say that you faced death?¨ the air in the room grew thick. Miranda didn´t know why the question went passed her lips but she was feeling strangely interested
¨Because I prayed for it at one point¨ Mary answered with a side smile leaving Miranda stunned and staring into green eyes that were turning a grayish shade before the woman continued ¨Do not worry, I'm not crazy¨
Miranda was about to answer but they were stopped by a sleepy yet worried Andy. She had so many questions about the girl in front of her and her relationship to her Andrea
¨What´s wrong?¨ both of them asked at the same time making Andy chuckle
¨That´s something I didn´t think would ever happen. Is everything all right here? ¨ Andrea said with a frown looking at both women worried, she had perfected the meaning in the color change of Mary´s eyes
¨Of course my love, we were enjoying some coffee and getting to know each other, What´s bothering you?¨ Miranda answered smiling along with the woman next to her so Andy decided to leave it at that. She was really glad that her sissy and her girlfriend were getting along
¨ Grandma called and asked to meet; she said one of her security was on his way¨ Andy said while dropping herself on the chair
¨And yet you want to go by yourself to get your shit together and don´t know how to tell her…¨ Mary said while drinking a sip her coffee and earned herself a glare from her sissy
¨I hate you¨ Andrea said and gave a sight
¨I love you too, go change, I'll take you before anyone comes to get you¨ Mary told the woman before leaving to change herself
Miranda chuckled at the pair and got up to hug and peck her girlfriend
¨Good morning my love¨ she told the young woman and staring into loving eyes
¨Good morning beautiful, I wish I could stay and have breakfast with you and the girls¨ Andy said at the same moment a really sleepy Elise walked in
¨What about breakfast with me? ¨ Elise asked with a husky and sleepy voice
¨I´m surprised you´re even speaking so soon after waking up¨ Miranda asked with a small laugh and got herself the finger from her friend
¨I better go change so Mary can take me¨ Andy said while pecking Miranda on her lips
¨Wait, so she was right with that she said? Is she a mind reader? ¨ Miranda asked amazed and chuckled at herself
Andy gave out a laugh but started thinking and turned a bit somber for a second before answering ¨She´s just good at reading what´s bothering a person and their emotions¨
Neither Miranda nor Elise knew what to say but they stopped talking when Mary made her way in and chuckled at Andy
¨Seriously? I´m amazed that no one came to get you given how much it´s taking you to change sissy¨ Mary said
¨Shit, you´re right¨ Andrea said before pecking her girlfriend again and rushing up the stairs to get change while Mary left to gather her things and bid them goodbye
Once the pair had left Elise and Miranda stayed in the kitchen counter
¨Do you think I should look into her? ¨ Elise asked her friend
¨I don´t know, she doesn´t seem like a dangerous person and besides she´s quite thoughtful and nice. Maybe with time we´ll know. Do you sense she may be problematic?¨ Miranda asked already knowing the answer
¨No and it´s actually what surprises me. It´s like having an open yet closed book in front of you and it´s refreshing¨ Elise said
¨Am I sensing a new crush Eli? What happened to Liisa?¨ Miranda asked with a chuckle that turned into a full on laugh at her friend´s blush
¨Mira we were just fucking, it´s not like we were together for anything else! And no! I already have my eyes on someone¨ Elise said blushing even harder which made Miranda smile
¨I´m sure Charlotte does too¨
They would´ve kept talking but the twins run down demanding food making the woman laugh and start thinking about lunch ideas
