Meant to be
Staring aimlessly out of the window from the backseat of the Mercedes lost in her thoughts, Miranda let out a long sorrowful sigh, as New York streets flew by. It was another Friday night for her to spend alone the girls with their father. And ever since the divorce finalized three months ago or more precisely even before the divorce papers she got in Paris she lost interest in love, and men in general. They are all intimidated by me.. they love the chase the idea of having me but when they get to know me, the real me they withdraw and run.
She laid her head back on the seat and was just about to close her eyes when a mess of brown tresses caught her attention. Andréa.. my Andréa, she looks amazing nothing like the first time I laid my eyes on her. "Roy, slow down" as ever the good chauffeur to cater every whim his boss demand he slowed down instantly without batting an eye. Miranda watched as Andy walked fast almost running in her high heels hmm.. manolo blahnik, at least she kept some fashion sense after she left. Her musing was cut short when she saw Andy fall into the arms of an attractive redhead woman hugging her tightly and smiling brightly at her. Anger erupts in Miranda's chest "I want to be home in three minutes" Miranda hissed and the car sped up never moving her eyes from the couples until the car took a turn by the end of the street.
"Shit!" Andy was late and she tried her best to run while wearing a 3" heels "She's gonna kill me!" when she neared the restaurant she saw her standing in front of the entrance her arms wide open wearing a smug smirk, Ugh I'm not gonna hear the end of it. "Hi there" Andy said smiling and hugging the women "Hello Dear, you are late"
Andy was about to apologize when the hair in the back of her neck stood up she looked around in alarm and saw a clever Mercedes speeding up a very familiar one, Mir… she shook her head it's impossible, great now I'm imagining things.
"Andy, what's wrong?!"
"Nothing I just felt like we were being watched"
"Of course we would be watched, two stunning women in their sight, Who wouldn't?"
Andy threw her head back laughing heartily "Oh Addie, you are something else!"
"I know" said Addison with a satisfied smile
"Anyway what are you doing out here?! And where's Meredith?" Asked Andy
"A patient called and I had to take it, Meredith inside"
"You ordered already haven't you" it was more of a statement than a question accompanied with a pout from Andy.
Addie grinned and fluttered her eyelashes "You know us"
"Let's go inside, I'm hungry" said Andy with exaggerated sigh
Addison shook her head following her "You always are" chuckling at the fake glare she received from her cousin.
Inside the restaurant Andy kissed Meredith on the cheek and said "I missed you. So this is it, you are finally moving to the big apple for good?!"
"I'm fine thank you for asking, what about you?!" Said Meredith with a cheeky smile.
"Ha ha! Come on Mer! Don't drag the good news, plus I'm kinda getting annoyed with your fiancée here" she said pointing at Addie a small smile gracing her lips "from the moment she moved back from Seattle without you 5 months ago and she was grumpy and sulking all the time"
"Hey! I was not" Addie pouted
"Aww babe" cooed Meredith.
"It's just hard being away from you. waking up without you in my arms was hell" confessed Addie with a look of utter love and adoration towards her lover.
Meredith raised her hand and cupped Addie's face stroking her cheeks lovingly and leaning kissing the redhead's lips.
"Ahm, Hello love birds I'm still here" said Andy grinning I wish someday I will fall in love like these two.
Before either of them were able to reply the waiter interrupted them by bringing their meals and taking Andy's order.
The evening flew by with them chatting, teasing and laughing with each other.
"So Andy did you find a dress?" Addison asked.
"A dress? Why would I need a dress, you still haven't decided on a date for your wedding"
Meredith chuckled and Addison arched her eyebrow "Dear, you know very well that you can't escape this time as always. Mother will drag you if she have to"
"Bu... But that's not fair! I can't stand the people that goes to these things, they are insufferable!"
"You are one of them" pointed Meredith
Addie nodded her head in agreement and said "Yes, even more than me"
"Guys I hate these things. And just because I have.. " she gestured wildly with her hands then huffed "Doesn't make me one of them. Please don't make me go" pleaded Andy.
"First of all you need to stop referring to the Met Gala as a thing, Mother would flip if she hear you" Addison smirked and continued "Secondly mom on the organizing board this year so there's no out of it"
The brunette played with the cutlery not meeting their eyes. Addie glanced at her soon to be wife and reached out to hold Andy's hand squeezing it lightly for support.
With defeated sigh "She will be there" not needing to clarify who SHE is.
Patting her hand Addie said "I know sweetheart but you need to stop running, you'll end up meeting each other eventually. The sooner the better. After all you have.."
"Okay" Andy cut in
"What?!" Addie asked in surprise. well, that was easy.
"I said okay, I will attend"
Addison clapped her hands cheerfully "Great! Next weekend, you and I are going shopping"
Andy was horrified and Meredith couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Why are you laughing" Andy whined
Mer grinned "I don't envy you. Thank god I have to work next weekend"
The redhead put her hand on her heart and faked hurt "You are lucky that I love you so much"
"Babe I love you, but you tend to go overboard in your shopping quest. Plus I'm only interested in what's lay under what you buy" said winking.
Addison blushed and kissed her lips passionately.
And again I'm forgotten. The doe-eyed mused.
The night continued to progress effortlessly till they parted ways.
Meanwhile in another part of the city sat the white haired beauty sipping her Scotch gazing at the crackling woods in the fireplace, though it was early April and it doesn't require the warm of a fireplace, Miranda needed the soothing sound of it. After what had she witnessed a mere few hours ago.
She couldn't shake the image of Andy in someone else's arms. She knows that she has no right on the girl. Why do I feel like that? it's torture, why even after 7 months she still has this effect on me. Gosh is that what they call it a midlife crisis? Ever since that silly wave and I knew she held.. still holds a piece of my heart. but I couldn't react how could I ?!
The grandfather clock in her study chimed announcing the start of a new day. Glancing at the Book on the coffee table untouched, I will do it in the morning. Carrying herself with a heavy heart out of her study and doing her nightly routine as a robot. Miranda slept the minute her head touched the pillow. She wasn't emotionally exhausted like that since her Bobbsey were infant and were teething.
