Chapter 3

"Ok, I am letting her up right now. I'll flirt some more with you once she's here. So, you have to act with me to make this work ok?" Meryl said chuckling as she answered the door. "Miranda, I'm so glad you could make it. We finished eating already though."

"Meryl, Andrea, it's nice to see you both." She air kissed them both.

"Miranda you look beautiful tonight." Andy blushed.

"Can I offer you some wine, Miranda?" Meryl asked holding the bottle up.

"Yes please, I'd like a glass." Miranda sat down after Meryl offered her a seat next to Andy.

Meryl poured her a glass and set it in front of her when she stepped next to Andy. She smiled at her and put a strand of hair behind her ear. "Would you like some more sweetie." Meryl asked her, flirting with her.

Andy was playing now. She took Meryl's hand and caressed her, while she smiled up at her. "I'd love that Meryl. You are so sweet." Andy took her hand and kissed it.

Meryl peaked over to Miranda and saw the fire in her eyes. By the looks of her she should be dead by now.

Oh, this was so much fun. Meryl was enjoying it a lot. But she could also see the connection between the two of them and she just had to bring them together somehow. It was now her mission. She wanted to see Miranda happy again, even if she tortured her a bit first. But in the end, she would definitely thank her.

"I've already viewed the first layout of our interview, Meryl. It'll be quite nice." Miranda sipped her wine wanting to kill Meryl fucking Streep with her bare hands.

"I can't wait to see it. When will it be done."

"Well hopefully tomorrow if Nigel doesn't want to get fired." Andy could tell that Miranda was pissed.

"I'm sure he will have it done by tomorrow. I loved the pictures of you both. You are both so beautiful" Andy stated.

Meryl went in for another round of flirting. This time verbally. "Thanks Andy, you should get some photos taken. I'm sure they would come out perfect. You have the most amazing body, face and skin. You would be just perfect for a shoot."

Miranda huffed louder than expected. "Excuse me a minute." Miranda said going to the bathroom.

"It's working just fine." Meryl whispered over to Andy. "Ok let's go in for round two."

Meryl and Andy chuckled. But Andy was also feeling bad because if it was true that the woman loved her, she wanted to take her home just then and there. She was so cute though when jealous.

When they heard Miranda approaching back Meryl stood very close to Andy and had her hand on her arm. It looked like they were about to kiss.

"Oh. Hell. No!" Miranda said pulling Meryl away. "She's mine." Miranda looked at Meryl and Andy in horror and when she realized what she said. She gathered her things. "Excuse me, I forgot I have another appointment." She stalked out and Andy wanted to run after her.

"Don't run after her yet. Give her time to think about what happened, also I think she just realized for the first time she loves you. I think she wasn't aware that she did. Let's finish our wine Andy. Also, you did really well. Have you ever thought about an acting career?"

Andy smiled sadly. She hated to see Miranda like that but she loved the praise she was given from the queen of Hollywood.

"Actually, I did take drama but I couldn't remember my lines for shit. So, I never pursued it. Thank you so much for a lovely evening. I really have to go and check on her."

Meryl smiled at her. "Of course, Andy." They hugged and Meryl brought her to the elevator. "Let me know how it goes." Meryl said Andy thanked her again and left.

She tried to call Miranda right away while she hailed a cab. She didn't pick up of course. Once in the cab she tried again and got declined. This couldn't be good. She arrived at Miranda's townhouse only minutes later. She hesitated, trying to decide if she should ring the doorbell or let herself in. She decided, not wanting to wake up the twins, to let herself in. She walked into the foyer. Looking around she saw light coming from the small study.

"Miranda?" She whispered as she slowly approached the study. What she heard next broke her heart. She heard a sob and little sniffles.

Miranda was crying and didn't notice Andy at all. Seeing her was even worse. She sat in her chair. Her head on her knees where she'd pulled them up to her chest. In front of her she had what looked like a pretty strong drink.

Andy was brave enough to approach her and crouch down in front of her. "Please don't cry, Miranda." Andy whispered, while she placed her palms on top of Miranda's knees.

Miranda was startled and she received the same look from her like that one time she brought the book upstairs.

She took her hands from Miranda's knees quickly. Her eyes widened and she felt them watering. Tears trickled down her face, as she saw how hurt Miranda was.

"Get the fuck out of my house Andrea."
