Chapter 6

"Miranda, great news! We can transfer you to a different ward since you are doing so well, and from there we will simply continue to monitor you." Sarah told her.

Miranda was happy to hear that. "Good, my insurance covers a private room. If you could organise it, that would be perfect. May I get up alone?"

"You sure can, but just in case I will walk with you to the bathroom and wait by the door. You might get nauseous or dizzy." Sarah explained.

"Acceptable," Miranda said smiling at the nurse. She sat up and stayed at the edge of the bed for a moment, getting used to the change in position. Miranda finally stood up and walked over to the bathroom with Sarah following shortly behind.

Miranda changed into her favourite pyjamas and after brushing her teeth applied some makeup. She felt almost like a new person afterwards.

"Are you okay, Miranda?" Sarah asked standing in front of the bathroom. Miranda opened the door and she looked stunning, even though she had simply changed into pyjamas. "Wow! You sure look great. Are you certain you just had surgery?" Sarah chuckled.

Miranda smirked. "Thank you, I am well. How will my...assistant know where I am?"

Sarah leaned over in Miranda's direction. "I saw the cell phone your assistant smuggled in so just use that and I won't tell."

Miranda moved slowly back to bed and smiled at her. "You know, Sarah, I'll be a little sad to leave. I like your attitude." She said and they both chuckled.

"Okay, Miranda, I'm going to arrange your private room and I will personally take you to it in half an hour or so. So make sure you use your time alone well." Sarah winked at the editor. "You know what I mean." She whispered the last part and held her hand like a phone to her ear.

"Out with you." Miranda chuckled and threw one of her little pillows playfully in the nurse's direction but Sarah was quicker and left before it could hit her. Miranda got her phone out and dialled Andy's number.

"Miranda, what's wrong?" Answered a frantic Andy.

"Dear God, calm down Andrea. Everything is perfectly fine, they are transferring me to a different ward as I do not have to be in the ICU anymore. I just wanted to inform you so that someone else doesn't a heart attack when they arrive and I'm no longer around." Miranda said.

Andy could hear the smile in Miranda's voice and knew she was grinning. "That. Is. Not. Funny! You better be good to me or I won't bring your decaf." Andy teased playfully.

"You wouldn't dare to leave me here without coffee, even if it's just decaf." Miranda challenged.

"Try me, Priestly." Andy sassed.

"Okay, I will say this once and only because I am alone, so listen and listen closely. Andrea, will you PLEASE bring me some decaf, please?" She pleaded.

"Oh my God, she CAN actually say it!" Andy laughed hard.

"Don't push your luck, Sachs." It felt so good to talk to someone like that. Miranda understood she needed that to loosen up and was glad she was able to do it with Andrea.

Andy grinned as they said their goodbyes. She was also thrilled by the way Miranda was talking to her, feeling so much closer to her and was hoping she could get even closer. Like kissing closer...just like in her dream...oh that dream was so delicious. She was already done with showering and had put on some fresh clothes. Finishing her hair, she felt giddy about seeing Miranda again. She left her apartment quickly. On her way back to the hospital, she picked up a coffee and a bagel for herself and some decaf for the editor.

Meanwhile, Sarah settled Miranda in her private room. "Here you go, Miranda. You're all set. They will do an EKG soon and check your vitals but not as often as in the ICU. All being well you should be released soon, especially if your vitals continue to improve." Sarah grinned at Miranda. "I can't believe I am saying this, but I am honoured to have met you, Miranda Priestly."

"Why, I believe that's the nicest thing I've heard all day. Thank you, Sarah." Miranda arched an eyebrow, "And you will never ever tell anyone I thanked you or my reputation will be ruined." She smirked at her.

Sarah started laughing loudly. "You got it, Miranda..." With that, she left.

Andy found Miranda's new room and entered silently after knocking. Apparently, Miranda was asleep. So she went in very quietly put down her things and the coffee.

She pulled a chair on Miranda's bedside and looked at her hand wondering if she should hold it. She decided to go for it. Taking and caressing her hand, she stood up to brush the editor's famous forelock out of her face and saw that she had applied some light makeup. She was amazed at how beautiful Miranda looked sleeping. She admired her for a second before Miranda's eyes opened and she stared right back at her.

"Hi. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." Andy whispered.

"It's okay, I am glad I woke up to...um...this." She looked down at Andy's cleavage unable to tear her eyes away.

Andy didn't notice but as she leaned over Miranda had the perfect view. Andy turned bright red upon realising where the editor's gaze was focussed but in a small way she was glad she'd worn something from the new La Perla collection. She was about to sit back when the editor grabbed her neck and pulled her closer.

"Please, Andrea, kiss me. I know we both want it." Miranda whispered against Andy's lips.

Andy leant the rest of the way in and kissed her very softly. Suddenly she heard someone moan and knew it wasn't her. 'Oh my God! She likes it too.' Andy thought.

Miranda wanted more so she deepened the kiss, sliding her tongue across Andrea's bottom lip and being granted entrance immediately.

Now, it was Andy's turn to moan.

"Mm, my God! Your lips are so soft." Miranda whispered when she pulled back for some air.

"Let me...please, may I...again?" The editor just smirked at Andy and pulled her back down for another round of sensual kissing.

Andy held herself up with one hand while the other found its way into Miranda's hair.

Suddenly, the door burst open and Sarah came back in. "Miranda, you forgot your lipstick...oh, hello."
