Apologies for the delay but as promised several months ago here is chapter 11. Only 2 more chapters to go!

Andy sat at her desk and, as Emily took great pleasure in telling her, she was twitching. After a good night text from Miranda promising that they would 'talk' after work on Monday it took several hours for the adrenaline to stop pumping round her body. The kisses from yesterday were on replay in her mind every time she closed her eyes. All Andy had to do was focus and not think about how wonderful it had been to make out with her boss like two horny teenagers while her husband was sitting up stairs. Unfortunately that's exactly what Andy was thinking when Miranda waltzed into the office dumping her coat and bag onto Emily’s desk.
"Andrea, my office..." Andy stumbled slightly as she eagerly jumped up to follow Miranda. Miranda closed the door as Andy entered the office.
"Firstly you are going to have to stop looking at me like that... It's distracting"
Andy smiled smugly at the thought of Miranda being distracted by her second assistant.
"I mean it Andrea..." Miranda smirked into her starbucks.
"Okay no... Looking I can do that" Andy struggled to keep a straight face.
"And don’t wear anything too... Provocative" Miranda shifted in her seat eyes glued to the plunging neckline of Andrea’s blouse
"No looking, no sexy clothes. I promise Miranda, I will be a nun from now on..." Miranda only just avoided a spit take of her coffee causing Andy to smile.
"Don't tell me you have a nun fetish Miranda" Andy’s light laughter filled the room.
"No no, not at the moment. Although the thought of you...” Miranda started to smile “nope that's enough you are ruining my reputation" Miranda looked away and began to focus on her computer monitor.
"My lawyer will be calling soon so send Emily to Hermès I want you to speak to him. Inform him of what we found yesterday and organise a meeting for this afternoon." Andrea nodded and started to leave the office,
"Andrea... I need a cardigan from the closet before Emily leaves. That's all"
Andy looked over at Emily who's mouth was hanging open.
"But I thought you were going to Hermes, I can't leave the office"
"Miranda wants you to go instead I'll be back in five."

Andy was halfway to the closet when her phone signalled a text
"Get the Calvin Klein that came in last week... And keep it buttoned up. M"
Andy smiled and continued on to the closet enjoying the new found spring in her step.

The next few weeks at Runway went by without any changes for most of the Runway employees. No one seemed to notice a certain assistant getting longing looks from a certain Editor in Chief. No one seemed to notice the atmosphere in the room change after an accidental brushing of fingers as paper was passed back and forwards. The only two people aware of any changes within the Elias Clarke building were Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs, and of course Emily who saw something once but put what she was seeing down as hallucinations caused by her latest fad diet.

Andy was sleeping better than she had in months and apart from the odd night when she woke up tangled up in sheets with images of her boss still floating in her mind; the other dreams appeared to have dried up completely. Thankfully Andy had been able to cope with all Miranda’s demands without her special night time visions for which she was very grateful for. The fear of messing up now when she was finally engaged in a relationship of sorts with Miranda was terrifying. She was going to Paris with Miranda in a matter of days and despite their promise to not take the relationship any further until divorce procedures were well underway Andy couldn’t help but hope that the dreams she’d been having recently would be coming true in Paris.

Andy looked up from the computer to discover the all too familiar site of Emily glaring at her from across the office. Flashing Emily a killer smile Andy continued on her task of finalising the details for Paris. In reality Andy did feel guilty about taking the opportunity away from Emily but when it came down to it... Andy would do anything for Miranda. It had only been weeks but already Andy had feelings that had never really existed between Nate and herself. The sweaty palms, heart beating out of your chest and the kisses... Andy was well and truly gone. The sound of Emily furiously banging on the keyboard brought Andy’s head out of the clouds. Emily was no longer paying any attention to Andy so she decided it was safe to take a quick look into Miranda’s office. As she watched the Editor in chief at work Andy could feel her stomach flip at the thought that this might all just be a game to Miranda. Maybe this was just a way of getting back at Stephen or the clichéd rebound. It was at that point Andy watched as Miranda looked over at Emily’s desk and after a second turned to Andy and smiled. Not the kind of smile Andy had seen countless times at meetings or parties as she greeted her many acquaintances, but a proper heart warming smile that showed Andy just at the right time that Miranda was pretty gone too.
