Ch. 9
When Miranda woke up she felt an arm draping around her stomach and realized James had fallen asleep. She looked over at her alarm clock and gasped. It was 1 o’clock. “I was supposed to be at RUNWAY two hours ago” she thought. She grabbed her phone and called Nigel. “Nigel, I’m running late, I will be there by 2:30 I want you in my office with the photos from the shoot by the time I get there so decisions can be made, that’s all.” she hung up her phone and then dialed Emily’s number. “Yes Miranda?” she asked when she answered. “I will be in no later than 2:30, I have a meeting with Nigel immediately, and I want all of my other appointments for today rescheduled, so you will need to call Patrick and give him my regrets, I’ll expect the shoes from Christian Louboton to be in my office by the time I get there, and have my Starbucks waiting that’s all.” she hung up and carefully turned around in James’s embrace so she was facing him. “James, wake up, We have to get ready to go.” she said softly and gently shook him. James opened his eyes and saw Miranda looking back at him and smiled. “Much better your highness, you look a lo better now that you have had a few hours to rest.” he said. “Yes, I feel much better, however I was supposed to have been at RUNWAY two hours ago, I’m going to call Roy and tell him to be outside by two so we need to get ready to go.” she said and sat up. James followed her and said “Listen I have some good news for you, but I don’t want to tell you anything just yet, I promise I will tell you later.” Miranda rolled her eyes. “All right.” she stood up and James did as well, he leaned down and kissed her soft lips lightly and turned and left the room. Miranda smiled and quickly called Roy and walked into her bathroom to grab a quick shower and get ready to go.
James and Miranda arrived at RUNWAY at 2:30 on the dot and Miranda immediately walked into her office and was pleased to find Nigel waiting for her. She nodded to James and he stayed in the outer office. Nigel shut the door behind Miranda and she sat down and pulled her glasses out. “Miranda I have already looked through these once, and they seem to be much better than the ones from the previous shoot.” Nigel said. Miranda picked up a photo and studied it closely. “Yes this is what I was hoping for with the last shoot, unfortunately nothing can seem to go the way I want it unless one or both of us is watching over it like a hawk.” Miranda said. Miranda picked up a couple of the other photos and nodded her approval. “These pictures are acceptable, they will be put into the next issue as the center piece for the winter collection. Make sure that it is put into the book tonight so I can go over it. Then that should be about it for the next issue other than a few other details that I’m going to have to attend to as usual. We will have to act quickly since the issue will be shipped out on Saturday.” Nigel nodded and Miranda removed her glasses. “Miranda, we have worked together for a long time, and soon, thanks to you, I will be the Editor of MEN’S RUNWAY. The point is, after everything we have been through together, you are a friend to me and you know this. I’m worried about you, I want to know if you are really alright after what happened to you last night.” he said. “Yes Nigel, I’m fine.” she nodded.
‘So what’s the story with you and James?” Nigel asked grinning. “Nigel I answered one of your questions, do. Not. Push your luck.” she said raising an eyebrow. “Miranda if this was 12 years ago, I would back down, but you and I both know I’m your best friend so cut the crap and dish, I have seen the way he looks and you, and besides he is hot you would be nuts not to be looking at him.” Miranda shook her head and sighed. “If you repeat this to anybody else Nigel I will fire you.” Miranda said lightly. “He is an absolute jack ass and he thinks his school boy charms will work on me, and they don’t.” she said. “However, he can be a perfect gentlemen when he wants to be, and that I will admit I find harder to resist.” “When he arrived her a few days ago I noticed that when he first laid eyes on you they filled with lust.” Nigel chuckled. “However, the way he looked at you this morning, was not just lust, you can still see it, especially when you get far enough out in front of him and he just watches you walk, but there is something much stronger and caring in his eyes now when he sees you Miranda. If at any point you allow him to see the side of you that I have seen in the 12 years we have worked together, then that would explain why.” he finished. Miranda shook her head. “It never fails, you always come in and give me the third degree about some possible new boyfriend or someone you think would make a great boyfriend.” she smirked. “Now Miranda I’m not going to lie to if he was at least bisexual I would be on him in about two seconds, the only thing that is keeping all the women here at RUNWAY from throwing themselves at him is because they know he is working for you and they are scared you will breath fire at them. For the record I know you feel something for him, if anyone else were to walk in here and call you your highness, and be making a reference to your ice queen persona, there wouldn’t be anything left of them by the time you were through with them. Now I will go and get right on this.” he said holding up the photos and walking out of the office.
Miranda got up and walked over to her walk-in side closet and stepped inside and found that Emily had put the shoes in there as she asked. Miranda picked up a box and opened it to reveal a black pair of Christian Lou’s and nodded appreciatively at the stitching and design. Then she felt two arms snake around her waist and she gasped. “It’s all right you highness it’s just me.” James whispered in her ear and turned her around. He gently pressed her against the wall and bent down and kissed her. She returned the kiss for a few seconds and then pulled away. “James, it is not at all appropriate to be doing this here.” Miranda said calmly. “Your right of course, but I saw you walk in here and I couldn’t resist.” “James what was the good news you were going to give me earlier?” Miranda asked. ’Well that’s actually why I came in here, because I need to leave you for a few hours to follow some leads.” “leave me?” Miranda asked. “Yes we were able to trace that message last night, it appears whoever is doing this has slipped up and I need to go and help with a few things. I’m leaving top security up here with you. I should be done by the time you are ready to leave the office for the day, and I will be able to take you home.” he said. “So your closer to catching him?’ Miranda asked “Yes, we are.” he said. Miranda smiled “that’s of great comfort to me James.” Miranda said and then a thought struck her. “James, be careful today.” “I will don’t worry, and when we get back to the townhouse tonight, I want to refresh your memory on handling a knife tonight.” “Why?” she asked. “Just in case, if he finds out we’re onto him he could become more desperate, I would feel better, and M insists, we will go over guns tomorrow.” he said and smirked. “Fine, I will agree to this.” she said. “Good, now security will be right outside your office, I need to get going.” he said and he leaned down and kissed her again. Miranda kissed him back and nipped at his bottom lip. When they pulled apart Miranda wiped her lipstick off of his lips and he headed out.
Miranda walked back to her desk and sat down and started sorting through some of the few articles that were left to be decided upon for the new issue. “Miranda” Miranda looked up to see Emily standing in the doorway. “Irv wants to see you he’s outside.” Miranda sighed. “Very well, I can’t stop him.” she said and Emily walked out and Irv came in. “Miranda, I have been extremely busy otherwise I would have come and seen you sooner.” “See me about what Irv?” Miranda asked as Irv took a seat on the other side of her desk. “Miranda you and I have our differences no doubt, but I have been informed about what happened to you last night. I would not wish any harm on you, as I said we do not get along, but I wouldn’t wish something like that on my worst enemy.” Miranda nodded and Irv continued. “I just found out that there is a possible lead?” Miranda nodded again. “Good. I’m very happy to here that. I also wanted to apologize for wanting to get rid of James like I did. Now this Friday, there is a charity banquet I’m hosting that I would like for you to attend, it will be safe, it’s invitation only and of course every one who is serving anything will be properly checked and I will have security stationed there. It’s a fundraiser for Habitat For Humanity, and I thought you might be interested in it given your various charitable contributions.” “Of course Irv, now if you will excuse me I have a lot of work to do before the magazine goes to print Friday evening.” “Of course, I will see you later.” Irv looked at Miranda, smiled and left. Miranda just scowled and returned to her work.
By 5:30 Miranda had everything she needed to have done for the final articles that were to go in the upcoming issue and she had Emily take it to Nigel for him to look over and then for it to be put into the book for her to go over that evening. Miranda picked up her cell phone and called her girls. “Hello” Cassidy and Caroline answered in unison. “Hello Bobbsies, how are you my darlings?” “We’re fine mom, we don’t like Dad’s new girlfriend though.” Cassidy said. “Now girls, you know the rules, you must spend at least sum total of a week of trying to get to know her before you start any of your tricks.” Miranda reminded them calmly. They snickered. “Or less if you decide you really don’t like her either.” Caroline said slyly. “Oh, and why wouldn’t I like this one?” Miranda asked smirking. “first off, her favorite place to shop is K-Mart apparently.” Caroline said and Miranda sniffed. “second, she is only 20 years old mom!” Cassidy said. “I’m sorry my darlings but there is nothing I can do about your father’s taste for practically underage girls believe me I have tried.” “Oh and then there’s the fact that she thinks she’s going to be around forever and thinks it would be nice if we call her MOM!” Caroline said nearly screaming and Miranda stiffened. “You. Will. Not call her mom.” Miranda said and gritted her teeth. “No way!!” Both twins said in unison. “Mom we have tried and we just want to give you fair warning before we start anything going.” Cassidy said. “very well my darlings.” Miranda sighed. “So mom how are you?” Caroline asked. “I’m fine Caro, James is taking care of me, nothing bad is going to happen to mommy I promise.” Miranda said. “Mom we heard on the news that someone tried to kill you when you went on that photo shoot.” Cassidy whispered. “My darlings everything is going to be perfectly fine. I love you more than you can ever know. Now your birthdays are coming up and I would like to know what you want for them., so I want you to have a few ideas for me by the time you get back on Friday.” “Alright mom . We love you!” they both said. “I love you too Bobbsies.” Miranda said and hung up the phone just as James walked into her office. “You ready to leave yet?” he asked and Miranda nodded. “Emily, coat and bag” Miranda said.
They arrived back at the townhouse a short time later and Miranda turned to him. “So did you find anything out today?” she asked. “We did, we haven’t located whoever this is yet, and we don’t know his name because on the information he found he was obviously using a fake one, we have to take it slow and be very careful so he doesn’t find out we’re on to him. Otherwise, like I said he could just throw all caution to the wind and abandon whatever scheme he is using and just flat out attack you.” Miranda shivered and nodded. “Now, what do you say before dinner we spend about half an hour on brushing up your knife skills?” “If we must.” Miranda said. “Good now go change into something appropriate and we will get started.” “Where exactly are we going to be doing this?” Miranda asked. ‘I had some of the security come by today and move the cars out of the garage, they will move them back when we’re done.” Miranda nodded and headed up the stairs to her room to change.
She came down stairs about 10 minutes later to find that her garage floor had had mats placed on it so they wouldn’t get hurt if they fell. As for James his eyes bugged out when he saw that she was wearing a pair of short shorts and a form fitting, matching top. “No doubt it’s all designer” he thought. “Now first I just want to go over the basics and see kind of what you remember.” He said taking off his shirt and Miranda fought the urge to bit her lip. He handed her a knife and she showed him that she still remembered the basics, though she was fairly rusty. She surprised herself win she remembered how to properly stab, and throw the knife. “Very Good.” James said after a few minutes. “Now I want to see if you remember how to assault. I want you to circle me and come at me, and try to attack me.” “But, what if I actually hit you?” She asked. “Just keep your swings light that way if you do hit me, you will only graze me, and don’t worry about it because I guarantee you your highness I’ve had much worse.” Miranda nodded her head and began circling him. She unconsciously kept flipping her knife in her hand, and James noticed this. Then Miranda came in from the side and tried to strike but James moved out of the way just in time. It went on like that for several more tries, and she finally made contact with his arm, grazing it. “Oh My God, are you alright?” she asked quickly. “Very good Miranda, and yes I’m fine, you just grazed it. Now you seem to remember much more than I thought you would and you are very capable of handling this. The last thing I want to do is I’m going to run at you and I just want you to avoid me or whatever you deem necessary.” Miranda nodded and James backed up. James got a smirk on his face and Miranda couldn’t figure out what it was for so she just waited. He lunged at her and as she stepped aside to avoid him and went to grab his arm to jerk him over he grabbed her and she fell on top of him as he landed on the mat, and he quickly flipped them over so that he was on top.
“You jack ass, that’s what that awful smirk on your face was for you planned to do this you incompetent fool now get. Off. Of me.” she said with ice in her voice. James just smiled warmly at her and said. “yes, I planned it, but don’t act so pissed off Miranda.” “James I’m in no mood for your childish games get o…” he cut her off by placing his mouth on hers in a quick kiss. “Now that’s better.” James said and saw the scowl on Miranda’s face. He just lowered his head back down and kissed her forehead, her nose, her cheeks and by the time he got back down to her mouth the scowl was gone off of her face and she met his lips with hers and slid pushed her tongue into his mouth and drew his into hers. He explored her mouth carefully, tasting her. He rubbed his tongue over hers and against Miranda’s will she let out a soft moan. He broke the kiss and trailed kisses down her neck and was delighted when he hit a sensitive spot and she shivered. He kissed his way down her cleavage and back up to her mouth claiming it in a searing kiss filled with passion. They pulled apart what seemed like hours later. “Now, do you have any idea how hard it is to concentrate when you come out here and your wearing that.” he said. “No.” Miranda said in a bored tone. “so what exactly were you planning on doing to me down here because I can assure you it will not happen.” Miranda said and got up and started walking away. James quickly jumped up and followed her. “What I just did is what I was planning to do to you down there, however.” he said and pushed her against the wall. “I have much more enticing plans for what I’m going to do to you in your bedroom.” he said in her ear. He kissed her passionately and then without any further hesitation, with their mouths still connected, he picked her up and started to carry her inside, and Miranda didn’t have the heart to protest as he began to lead her up the stairs…..TBC
