Hey guys! I heard this song and, I thought it'd be perfect for Mirandy. The song is, `Just a Kiss` by Lady Antebellum.

This could technically be a sequel to 'Tonight I Wanna Cry' and will be in Miranda's PoV.

The idea for using this song was because I have had it stuck in my head for awhile (most Lady A songs get stuck in my head lol).

Also, there is a slight reference from the movie, 'Darling Lili' as well as a slight NCIS reference.

The prompt is sort of from the reference (if that made sense?). Brownie points to those who figured out the slight references.

I apologize for being so slow with the updates. I have been writing for my other stories and I have been on Wattpad too. My anxiety has been high lately and, it makes me want to be productive, but not having the motivation to do so. It's hard to explain, but hopefully you understand.

Thank y'all for being patient!

Enjoy your reading my lovelies and don't forget to review!

You know, the saying goes that, 'If you love someone or something set it free, and if it comes back it was meant to be.' I always thought that the statement was a travesty of sorts. That's what I believed until I met Andrea. It was an almost instant attraction, the love at first sight type of thing. It was unexpected and honestly, I was terrified.

Things were going really well before Paris Fashion Week. The day before we had left for Paris, I had a lunch date with Nigel. He asked his usual things, like how the twins were doing and how I was doing, dealing with an asshat by the name of Stephen. I told him the twins were doing well, like they always do, they hadn't driven Andrea away. As for the asshat, I told Nigel that after Paris I wanted to divorce him. Nigel seen the far away look in my eyes and asked if there was anything else I wasn't telling him. Admittedly, I was nervous to tell him but I did. I explained how I fell for Andrea that it was a love at first sight and that, it hit me harder after seeing her in those damned Chanel boots. Telling him that I doubt that she'd reciprocate my feelings. Nigel thought otherwise on the whole reciprocation of feelings. He told me just to go and outright tell Andrea how I feel. Of course, me being stubborn, didn't do it. I was scared of her reaction.

Fast forward to the middle of Paris Fashion Week. Stephen sent me divorce papers via fax machine. I was in a robot mode, hoping that news of the divorce didn't reach the States until I was able to tell Caroline and Cassidy. Andrea had came into my room, seen me crying and asked if there was anything she could do. Without looking at her, I told her that she could do her job. Her gentle smile had faltered which made me feel terrible.

When we were in the town car on the way to the Place de Concorde, I was talking to her about this, that and how she wanted this life and had thwarted the Paris trip from Emily. I took a sideways glance at her and seen a flicker of hurt and love in her lovely brown eyes. When the car came to a stop, she opened the door, got out and as she was shutting the car door, she whispered, "God, I love you Miranda but, why do you have to be such a Bitch?" . Then she took off to God knows where. Afterwards, I listened to Keith Urban's song 'Tonight I Wanna Cry' multiple times. It made me realize that I needed to tell her how I feel regardless of whatever outcome happens.

That was a month ago. A month ago, we went on our first date, and now we are going on our second date.

Andrea loves the simple type of dates. Believe it or not, I like them too. That is why I decided to take a page from one of my favorite movies. I decided to take her on a picnic at 3am, because at this early morning hour, there isn't any ants to worry about.

After eating everything that I had packed for our picnic, I felt the need to tell Andrea things that I've never told anyone. I felt the need to open up to her. It felt as if she was the only one I could trust with what I tell her and open up to her and thus, trust her with my heart.

We laid back on the blanket, linking hands as we were staring up at the sky, watching the stars.

"You know Andrea, laying here under the stars with you so close to me, is making it hard to fight the feelings of doubt that this is just a dream." I paused a moment to take a breath. "But I must say, being caught in this moment and being caught up in your mega watt smile, is eradicating any such thoughts." Honesty. It felt good to give her the honest truth of how nervous and slightly terrified I am.

Andrea smiled slightly and pulled me into her arms. "Miranda, when I'm holding you in my arms remember, that we don't have to rush into anything. We can just take everything at a slow and steady pace."

Her statement made me feel much better. I gave her a chaste kiss to the lips as I said, "There's a shot in the dark, that you might just be the one I've been waiting for my whole life for. I can tell by how you care for my girls and I, I also find it quite attractive that you're so caring and understanding." It's going to take us a little time to get closer and to get to know each other, and I'm okay with that. Andrea is okay with that too. You do not waste good and it isn't in my plans to let this go to waste.

Andrea pulled me closer into her arms, and I buried my face in her neck. God, her perfume smelled divine.

"You know Miranda, I don't want to say good night. But I know, it's probably time for me to leave." Andy gave me a toe curling smirk.

Good lord, she's gonna be the death of me- figuratively speaking of course. In all honesty, I did want to take it slow but, the longer I looked at her and stared into her big brown eyes, I really wanted to throw all my inhibitions out the window and say to hell with taking it slow and, I told her as much. "Andrea, I must confess that as much as I want to take things slow, I want to say to hell with inhibitions. Say hell to taking it slow. We've known each other for a little over a year." I took a deep breath as I seen the look in her eyes. "Why don't you stay at the townhouse tonight? We can figure out everything later. But there is one question I've been thinking about. Would you ever consider a marriage between us?" I want to marry her and I have a plan in place should she choose to consider marrying me*

"I've always that about it and, if it comes to a point that we're both ready for marriage, I would be thrilled. I would love to stay with you tonight."

We conversed a little more, before we packed the picnic up and headed back to the townhouse. On our way back, I knew what I wanted to do. I was going to marry Andrea. The best part was, that I knew the twins wanted it too. They said as much in a conversation we had a few weeks ago.

My life is great right now and, I couldn't be happier with the way things are.

*The plan that Miranda has for proposing to Andy, will be revealed in chapter 4 and/or chapter 5 of 'The Vows of a Dragon and Her Doe'
