Short Fic: The last 20 Minutes
Drinking water, holding breaths…. Nothing helps.
There are still tiny hiccups coming from the editor’s mouth since twenty minutes ago.
How she got it.... Nobody knows, including herself.
Andy can’t help by finding the sounds quite cute and adorable from her lover, while Miranda is not embarrassed, but hugely annoyed.
Emily sits on her desk, tapping her fingers nervously on the desk, while try to get Miranda’s doctor on the line. She bits her lips.
“Come on, you bloody overpaid bastard….” She grits through her teeth.
Andy leans against her desk with Nigel.
“Maybe we could scare her…. A shock might help….” She murmurs.
Nigel’s eyebrow flows up. “Scaring Miranda…. Really, six? The woman herself is scary. How do you think you could scare her anyhow?”
Andy sighs. Of course Nigel was right. Maybe telling her something happened with her daughters? No, that was too cruel and Andy loved the girls.
“I don’t know….” She admits.
Nigel shrugged his shoulders. “Anyway, I would pay 50 bucks if you could.”
Andy smiles and takes out her hand. “Deal?”
Nigel takes the hand and shakes it. “Deal.”
Now the brunette has to think about something.
“Emily. *hick* Will you tell me *hick* why it does take so long *hick* to get my doctor on the line*hick*?” The older woman says angrily and walks out of her office to the red hair’s desk.
“I… I’m sorry Miranda….. Seems he’s not available…..” she says quietly, on the verge of bursting into tears.
“The details *hick* of your *hick* incompetence does not interest me. *hick*”
The white haired woman turns her back, glaring at Andy, who tries very very hard not to laugh. “Stop *hick* that.”
Emily puts the phone on the desk again and stands up immediately when Miranda calls her name again.
“Emily, do what ever you can *hick* but… Get. Me. A. Doctor. *hick*” she says with a very low voice.
“Yes, Miranda….” Emily replies, still standing.
Suddenly Andy grins and walks to her co worker.
The editor is nearly going into her office again, when Andy calls her.
“Oh Miranda?” she says in a playful purr.
It sends shivers down Miranda’s spine.
She turns around. “Yes? *hick*” she asks a bit huskily.
Before anyone could react, she bends forward, grabs Emily’s face and kissed her on the wide open mouth of the first assistant. Nigel nearly drops the photos in his hands.
A strong shudder runs through Miranda and her mouth drops partly open, she stares at the two women, her heart nearly missing a beat.
Emily was sure to pass out.
Andrea bloody Sachs is kissing me!
She feels sick immediately, but would not dare to show it in front of her boss. Gladly Andrea keeps at least her tongue to herself.
Finally she released the Brit who jumps back.
Miranda says nothing, just turns around to go inside her office again, her face definitely a little pale.
A few minutes passed by in silence. No more hiccup.
Andy smiles. “I won.”
It takes some time when Nigel gets back control. “THAT was mean.”
“Nothing scares her, huh?” She shrugs.
Then she hears it.
“Andrea. Into my office. Now.”
“I’ll buy you some nice flowers for your funeral from those 50 bucks.” Nigel says while watching Andy going into the office. She shrugs again and smiled.
Andy is only able to close the door behind her, when suddenly she is pinned on the hard wooden door and Miranda locks it while attacking to erase any evidence of Emily on her lover’s full plump lips.
“Mine.” She growls.
Outside Nigel chuckles as he looks at Emily.
“Refresh yourself. I don’t think Miranda will take care of any phone calls for say at least ten minutes.”
With that he goes away to the art departure.
Emily’s face is pale white. Trembling she pulls out her cell, slowly raising from the chair and types a message while walking to the restrooms.
Serena,
meet me in the copy room in 2 minutes.
Don’t ask.
I just want to enjoy my last 20 minutes on earth.
That’s all
