Beep beep beep… beep beep beep "God what is that infernal sound!" Andy groans as she is slowly dragged from the embrace of sleep. "Ugh my head…" she mutters as she stumbles out of bed to stop the blasted noise coming from her alarm clock. "This is what I get for drinking a whole bottle of wine." She struggles her way into the bathroom to get a glass of water and some pain killers. After downing three glasses of water Andrea makes her way to the shower. The hot water slowly reduces the throbbing going on in her head. The thirty minute shower puts her behind schedule, "maybe I'll take a day off." Andrea pauses then laughs, "when is the last time I took a day off?" She shakes her head and rushes around her room to get dressed.

When Andy is dressed and presentable she walks out of the townhouse to find Roy leaning up against the car. "You know if you were a few minutes more I would have thought something was wrong." says Roy.

"Just running a little late. My company last night didn't want me to get up this morning." Andrea says with a smirk.

"Ah," Roy says with a devious grin, "so another bottle of wine then?"

Andy laughs, "you know me so well."

Halfway through her work day Andy was bored. There really wasn't anything to do, 'good day to have a hangover' she thought. The whole office was rushing around trying to finish up the month's issue, and since everything basically was done and approved, Andy had a rare moment of boredom. With a smirk she decided to have a little fun.

"Miranda." She says calmly. She watches as Emily hisses at Miranda hurry up. Miranda gets up and walks into her office with a pen and notepad. "Close the door on your way in." Andy says as she spins her chair around to look out the window.

"What can I help you with Andrea?" Miranda says.

Andy is grinning over the sound of her name coming from Miranda. 'Maybe I'll let her call me Andy. That would really confuse her wouldn't it?' She schools her face into her normal bored expression and turns around to face Miranda. "Yes, what is your favorite movie?"

"Um what?" Miranda stutters out.

Andy nearly busts out laughing at the face Miranda is making. "Your favorite movie? You know a show that is generally around an hour and a half long? You would enjoy watching it? Maybe enjoy some popcorn to go with it?" Miranda is just standing there shocked, and Andy is enjoying every second of the stunned silence. "Miranda?"

Miranda shakes her head, "um yes?"

"The movie?"

"Oh um well, I don't know. I was never one for movies. I prefer a good book."

Andy hums. "Well since you can't help, that's all." She spins back around to face the windows with silent laughter. "Oh and close my door on the way out." As soon as her door is closed Andy lets out a laugh. 'God that was amazing. The face she made'. Andy laughs again at the thought of Miranda's shocked face.

Miranda walks out of Andreas office really confused. She goes back to her desk and sits down.

"So, what does she want?" Emily asked snidely. Miranda just sat there in a daze. "Hey! Miranda!"

"Uh what?" Miranda shakes herself and looks at Emily.

"What did Andrea want?"

"Oh, she just asked me a question." Miranda says with a small frown. "Nothing important."

Emily huffs, "whatever. I'm going to speak with Nigel, don't leave the desk."

"Of course Emily." Miranda didn't see Emily walk out as she was back into her head thinking about the strange conversation that just took place. 'Why would she ask me about my favorite movie? I wonder if she asks everyone random questions… She doesn't seem like the person who would do that though. So why ask me?'

Miranda shakes her head and turns to her computer to answer some of the thousands of emails that get sent to the office, while trying not to think about the glint that was in Andrea's eye when she was talking.

With a sigh, Andy decided that it was time to head home for the day. She stands up and stretches out her back which pops in protest. 'I really need to see that chiropractor' she thinks as her back makes another loud pop. She shakes herself off and walks out of her office, "Emily, Miranda will be delivering the Book today. Tell her how to do it." Andy almost laughed at the shocked expression on Emily's face. She turns to Miranda who is looking almost as shocked as Emily. "Bag and coat." Miranda shuffles over to the closet and gets her bag and coat and brings them over to Andy.

"Here you go Andrea."

Andy lets a small smile show on her face as Miranda says her name.Andy takes the bag and coat and walks towards the elevator, and soon the office is out of sight.

Emily is still standing in shock, when Miranda clears her throat. "So how do I do the Book?"

Emily looks over at her with a glare. "You shouldn't be doing it at all. But if Andrea wants you too then fine." She flicks her hair out from her face, "you will wait here till the people from art brings it up to you. You will not open it. You will not drop it and you will not waste time, go straight to Andrea's house. Once at her house you will quietly go in and put the Book on the table that is right inside the door, then leave. Andrea does not like being disturbed. Don't be heard or seen and don't be in there long."

Miranda nods, "got it. In and out."

Emily sniffs, "I'm going to go home. Don't mess this up." With another glare at Miranda, Emily grabs her bag, hands the key to Andrea's home to Miranda and stalks to the elevator.

Miranda sends a text to the twins knowing they will be up waiting on her even though she tells them not to. She texts them that she will be late home and not to wait up for her. 'Now it's the waiting game' she thinks with a sigh.

She sits in the office watching as people slowly trickle out. Finally the Book shows up and Miranda hurries to the elevator to get to Andrea's house as fast as she can. The cab ride over was stressful. Her stomach was full of butterflies at the thought of being in Andrea's home. She was cradling the Book to her chest like it was her child not wanting anything to happen to it.

After what felt like forever she pays the cab driver and walks up to the front of Andrea's townhouse. Miranda quietly slips the key into the lock and turns it, then slowly creeps into the house. She closes the door behind her and glances around looking for the table that Emily told her about. She takes a few steps in and the floorboard squeaks under her, and she grimaces. There is movement above her, she looks up and sees Andrea standing on the stairs with a glass of wine in her hand. Her outfit stuns Miranda, she is in a baggy hoodie and sweatpants.

"Umm, I-I uh, have the Book." Miranda manages to stutter out.

Andy is stunned. 'Of course she had to show up right as I am coming down the stairs. And looking like this nonetheless' Andy straightens her posture and goes into her boss mode. "Leave it on the table. That will be all."

"Oh um, yes, of course." Miranda looks around for the table. Spotting it she walks to it and places the Book on there with care. Andy slowly walks down the stairs while staring at Miranda. 'She looks so scared.' She thinks with a grimace. Without much thought she hears herself blurt out a question asking if Miranda prefers red or white wine. 'What is wrong with me today?'

Miranda turns around with shock to see Andrea on the last stair looking at her with an intense stare. She clears her throat, "red. I prefer red."

Andy hums, "very well." She walks past Miranda, who is shocked to see her so short without her heels. Halfway down the hall, she pauses and looks back. "Come along," and she disappears behind a door.

Miranda is frozen in the hallway after Andrea's question. Once Andrea said 'come along' the assistant in her broke free and walked after Andrea. Once Miranda caught up, she found herself in the kitchen. Andrea was opening up a cabinet and pulling down a glass. Miranda stood in silence and just watched as Andrea poured a glass of red wine then slowly slid the glass across the counter towards her.

"Drink." said Andrea. Miranda walked up to the counter and took the glass of the counter and took a slow sip of the wine. All the while Andrea was staring at her and casually leaning against the counter. "So books over movies, and red over white. Interesting. Any other fun facts you want to grace me with?"

Miranda takes a big sip of the wine, 'she even looks amazing in those ratty clothes'. "Like what?"

Andrea smirks. "Why fashion?"

Again Miranda takes a sip of wine before answering. "Why not?"

Andrea moves towards Miranda and slowly takes the glass from her and fills it back to the top. "Why not indeed." She mutters quietly. "Why Runway?"

"Everyone knows once you have been at Runway, you can go anywhere."

"Is that so?" says Andrea with a small sip of wine. "So where do you want to go after Runway?"

Miranda pauses and thinks. "I'm really not sure. I honestly just had the goal of getting into fashion and I guess I have gotten in fashion, even if it's just as an assistant." Miranda drinks more wine while contemplating her answer.

Andrea just watches as Miranda is lost in thought. She glances towards the clock hanging on the wall. "I do believe it has gotten quite late and both of us have to be up early tomorrow."

Miranda looks at her watch and is amazed to see it's well after midnight, getting the book here took longer than she had though. "Yes, well, thank you for the wine. It was wonderful. I will see you tomorrow Andrea." She puts the glass on the counter and slowly backs out of the room.

"Miranda." Miranda pauses. "Let me walk you out." says Andrea. They both head towards the door in silence. Andrea opens the door and Miranda walks out.

"Again thank you for the wine." Andrea just nods. "Now I just have to find a cab." Miranda says with a laugh.

"A cab? This late?" Andrea says with a frown.

"Well I didn't drive here, and even if I did I wouldn't drive because of the wine." Miranda says firmly.

Andrea opens her mouth to say something then stops. She takes a deep breath. "Come back in. You can stay here tonight." Andrea sighs and mutters, "god knows I have the room."

"I couldn't impose."

"You are staying and that is final." Andrea steps out of the doorway to allow Miranda back into the house. Reluctantly Miranda walks back in, she follows Andrea up the stairs and to a bedroom. "Here is a guest room. There should be towels in the bathroom along with a new toothbrush. I will get up early enough tomorrow to take you to your home so you can get fresh clothes. Have a good night Miranda."

Miranda watches as Andrea walks down the hall towards the master bedroom. She slowly closes the door and leans against it. "What have I gotten myself into?" she whispers to herself.
