"You made the bed now lay on it"

"I'm so sorry," Sarah mouthed to Andy as she closed Miranda´s office door just after Miranda had passed like a storm by her.

"What, something bad happened?" Emily asked curiously looking at Sarah´s disturbed face.

"Yes, I born and 17 years later I slept with Andy and 9 years after that Miranda found out, so yes something very bad happened," Sarah said as she put her head on the table.

"Are you ok?" Andy asked noticing Miranda's hard features.

"You tell me," Miranda responded, "I told you I couldn't have lunch with you because I'd be busy," Miranda said as she noticed the plates and the food placed at the small table across the office.

"I know, I'm sorry but I was missing us terribly, so I called and asked Emily to delay your meeting for just an hour so we can have lunch together." Andy said closing the distance between them.

"Well you shouldn't, I'm very busy right now," Miranda was saying those words but her mind stopped at the memory of the last time she overreacted about something and the results after that, so she decided the best thing to do was ask and hope for a suitable answer.

"When did you sleep with my assistant?" Miranda asked, blue eyes meeting brown ones.

Andy was taken aback, "What?"

"Don't make me repeat myself. You know how much I dislike doing that."

"I'm asking because I'm not following where you wanna go with that," Andy said stepping back but still facing her.

"I know about you and Sarah." Miranda said, the hurt in her face was visible and Andy finally realized what she was talking about.

"How do you know about that?" Andy asked puzzled.

"It's a secret?" Miranda asked, her tone becoming colder at each sentence.

"No it's not" Andy knew that someday that story would come up and the only reason she didn't talk to Miranda about it sooner was to avoid this kind of reaction from her.

"Then how come you never told me, and more importantly, why did you insist that I give your old job to her?

"Miranda slow down," Andy reached for Miranda´s hand but she didn't let her touch her and walked to sit in her chair.

Andy took a deep breath, "A, I never considered this important enough to talk about it and B, it happened a million years ago and third..."

"It's C," Miranda cut her off.

"What?" Andy was again lost.

"You say either A, B, C or first, second and third…" Miranda was explaining like a kindergarten teacher.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Andy raised her hands in disbelief.

"Watch your words Andrea that is no need to use that poor language, I should be the one really upset here. You lied to me, and don't pretend that it's not important because it is." Miranda hesitated and then continued "This is not the time or the place to have a fight, we can talk later at home, now leave." Miranda demanded, reclining in her chair and closing her eyes.

"No way in hell," Andy said turning Miranda´s chair so they could be face to face again, "Firstly, we are not fighting we are talking, secondly we will talk right here and right now, because I will not let that mind of yours start to process a lot of untrue things that will lead to a huge fight later."

"She's fired," Miranda said under her breath but loud enough to Andy understand.

"Miranda there is no need to do harsh things, it was no one's fault and it happened at our prom party, I was what… 16, 17, I don't even remember."

"I just want to understand why you hid this from me." Miranda asked grimly. "Do you think that I'm some kind of idiot; that I wouldn't find out eventually?"

Outside the office Emily was trying harder to hear the details through the wall while Sarah was holding her head, sitting at her chair when Nigel showed up.

"Thank god our meeting was canceled, I didn't want to be the next in the line of fire today, I still don't know how Brian will ever recover after today and…" He trailed off. "What's happening in here?"

Sarah raised her head and he could see her puffy eyes, "Why do you look like your dog just died?" He asked Sarah.

"Sarah slept with Andy," Emily whispered making Sarah groan, lowering her head once again.

"And Miranda found out." Emily finished with a grin, enjoying the circus.

"Nooooo, you?" Nigel said pointing to her, "When?" he asked curiously. "Ah now I understand her killer mood today," he added walking close to her, "Did she fire you?"

"Not yet, but I think she will murder me not just fire me." Sarah supposed.

"Don't exaggerate," he said rolling his eyes, "Andy will deal with her. Now…tell me the sordid details right now!" Nigel asked, mesmerized by what he was hearing.

Sarah raised her head again, "It was nothing really," she shook her head, "And I don't even remember much of it."

-Flashback-

Andy opened her eyes facing the ceiling. She wondered when and if her head would ever stop hurting that badly. She looked at her side, when she heard a small snore of someone sleeping. She carefully lifted her sheet and closed her eyes once again at the revelation of her naked state.

"Oh god no, I can't believe I slept with a random guy and worse, I brought him home, my mom will kill me."

She didn't have time to go over her funeral details because the mountain of sheets at her side rolled back and snuggled into her body, reviling her.

"Jesus Christ!" she screamed, but stopped when the sound of her voice made her head throb even more.

"Amen." the person mumbled still asleep.

"Wake up!" Andy yelled again.

"Sshh… I'm sleeping." the person said in a sleepy voice.

"Sarah, wake up," Andy repeated, trying to get her off of her body, "What the hell are you doing?"

Sarah opened her eyes trying to focus on Andy's face, "I don't know, do you?" She asked still not in her right sense.

"Why am I naked?" Andy said lifting Sarah´s sheet, "And why are YOU naked in my bed?"

"Why so many questions?" Sarah asked, snuggling into the pillow, but as soon as the words 'Naked + Andy + Bed' were processing in her mind, she opened her big green eyes in horror, "Oh my God, what did we do?" she yelled sitting up in bed.

"Please tell me we didn't do anything," Andy was covering her eyes and praying in silence.

"I don't know Andy," Sarah moved to get her dress from the pile of clothes on the floor "I'm a little sore down there, if you know what I mean, so I pretty much think we did something." Sarah raised an eyebrow. "Repeatedly."

Sarah finished trying to put her dress back on with no luck considering her still-drunk condition. "How did this dress get smaller from yesterday?" she glared at Andy.

"Oh God" Andy stood and walked over her wardrobe and threw a shirt and a pair of boy shorts to Sarah and started to put some clothes on herself while Sarah stood naked.

"What you doing?" Andy asked, covering her eyes.

"I'm dressing and don't make that face because you did more than just look at my body last night. So drop it."

A few minutes later both were back sitting in bed facing each other, but with nothing really good to say.

A knock at the door brought both to reality.

"Hey sis, mom is calling to have lunch, you two slept a lot already," Tom, Andy's brother said by the door, "And it better you cover that huge hickey on your neck," he said giggling, "The night was wild huh? You have to tell me the details about the lucky guy later." He finished closing the door leaving Andy and Sarah open mouthed.

"God, I dunno how something like this could happen," Andy was almost making a hole in her forehead, "We are straight."

"Totally." Sarah hurriedly agreed with her.

"You naughty little girl," Nigel had a huge grin on his face, "So Miranda bit your head off and now it's Andy´s turn? God I would give my left arm to be invisible and on the other side of that door; lesbian drama is so much better than Mexican soap operas." he finished getting as close to Emily´s back as he could so that he could hear what was happening inside.

Andy was on her knees in front of Miranda. "Miranda, really, I truly don't understand why all of this is upsetting you so much, what happened between Sarah and I was a onetime thing, and I can tell you it was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. We were insanely drunk, I don't remember a thing and more importantly it didn't mean anything to me. Nothing, zilch, zero."

"Ouch," Emily and Nigel said in union looking at Sarah making her roll her eyes, a slight disappointment in her face after hearing Andy´s words.

"Spare me the details of your sexual adventures, it doesn't matter to me if she meant something or not; the point is, you deceived me." Miranda sighed heavily. "Why her?" she asked.

"Why her what?" Andy sighed back.

"Why her? Why did you get her this job?" Miranda´s tone was even but Andy could feel she was angry.

"After I left you in Paris," she started, "And you know very well my reasons for leaving; I knew you would need someone you could trust. You needed someone who could do the job I was supposed to be doing and admit it; Sarah is smart and does her job well."

"You always made me believe I was your first." Miranda changed to the subject that was really bothering her. She was looking straight into Andy's brown eyes. The look she gave was nothing short of betrayal.

"You were my first, I don't even remember what happened with Sarah so I don't consider what I had with her my first time with a woman. You were and you will always be that for me. So please don't let that night… that one stupid night have such importance in our lives because it shouldn't." Andy took hold once again of Miranda´s hand and this time she didn't take it away. "I love you and you mean everything to me." Andy let a single tear run down her cheek.

"God, do you have any more details I should know about, that don't consider important?" Miranda asked touching Andy's face.

"Not that I'm aware of…" Andy answered while Miranda wiped the tear from her face, "No wait! I got married once in Vegas."

"What?" Miranda asked in shock.

"Kidding," Andy giggled standing on her feet again, bringing Miranda into her warm embrace.

"Continue with that hilarious act and you know where you will spend the rest of the week?" Andy smirked in the crook of Miranda´s neck. "In the guest bedroom."

"You wouldn't do that to me, because you love me too much." Andy said smiling, parting Miranda's lips with her tongue. She increased the kiss, putting all the meaning of those words into it.

"Are we ok?" Andy asked pulling back with a hint of hope in her voice.

Miranda leaned into her, bringing their lips together once again certainly, answering all of Andy's questions and doubts.

"The horny bunnies will express their love now," Nigel said with a disgusting face, "and I really don't need to add that image to my filthy mind," he shook his head.

"That is a free ticket to therapy." Emily added sitting back at her chair.

"I think you should give Sarah a raise for how you scared her to death." Andy was lazily traveling Miranda's sides with her hands.

"Since when did this conversation turn from me firing her, to giving her a raise?" Miranda asked incredulous.

Andy laughed, "You know it's the right thing to do."

"No its not and I won't. She is lucky she is not down the street searching for a new job." Miranda said firmly.

"Ok, fair enough," Andy said understanding that it was too dangerous to push Sarah's luck at that particular moment. "Are you hungry?"

"Not really, I'm sorry for having ruined that," she pointed to the cold food.

"It's ok, I'm glad we talked about it and we are fine."

"But you didn't eat."

"I'm more horny than hungry right now," Andy pressed Miranda's body over the wall as she sat her on the bookstand behind her desk, kissing her neck. "You will make it up to me later, bringing me dinner in bed and giving yourself as dessert to me." Andy´s husky voice was making Miranda feel weak in the knees.

"I smell smoke," Andy continued bringing her hand close to Miranda´s lingerie, "Someone's panties are on fire." Andy finished making Miranda chuckle.

"I will never get used to that speech of yours," Miranda said putting her hands on both sides of Andy´s face. "Where did you learn that?"

Andy didn't answer the question and once again crashed her lips against Miranda´s soft ones.

"We need to stop now or I will not be able to at all; and I know we have an audience outside that door." Miranda´s ice cold manner came back as she realized who that audience would be; the three stooges.

Andy smirked "Ask Sarah to heat the food for you, so you can eat before your meeting. I really need to go back to work," she said, glancing at her watch.

"God you make me crazy," Andy brought Miranda into one last heated kiss before stepping back once again. "I love you."

She blew a kiss to Miranda before opening the office door.

All three stooges looked directly to Andy while she cleared her throat. Sarah looked terrified.

"Am I fired?" She asked anxiously, rubbing her hands together.

"No, I saved your ass and mine for that matter, but I still have to kill you." Andy passed by them with an evil smile on her face, leaving a very frightened Sarah behind.

FIN.
