Killer Heels and Prada

Chapter 4

  Miranda stood in her room in her lingerie and thigh highs trying to pick out an outfit. "No, that's too formal, too casual..." Miranda halted "What the hell are you doing Miranda?" she said to herself. "This guy is a jack ass who has fun trying to sleep with as many women as possible. So why are you attempting to make extra effort as to what you are wearing? Why did you even agree to this ridiculous private dinner party?" She shook her head and pulled out a black Chanel dress. It was knee length, off the shoulder, showed a respectable amount of cleavage and like all of her clothes hung on her every curve. Miranda checked herself in the mirror and then headed downstairs to the dining room. Her heart beat faster when she saw James. He was wearing his classic Tux. "he looks handsome." Miranda admitted to herself. "Wow, Miranda you look breathtaking." James said. Miranda nodded "you look acceptable as well James, you weren't kidding about dressing up to have dinner." "No I wasn't, and the food is here it's from Smith and Wollensky's the delivery guy had a hard time getting through with all the press camped outside." James said. "I'm not surprised" Miranda replied. James pulled out a chair for her and Miranda sat down. He served the food and then sat down across from her at the table and they began to eat. "Earlier you said you liked country music." James said and Miranda nodded. "All right, you mind if I guess who your favorite singer is then?" Miranda stopped herself from rolling her eyes and said "If you must, but I will be surprised if you guess correctly." James smirked. "It's true it would be easier if I had some albums to look at and I'm assuming they are put up somewhere where company can't find them. Well it would have to be a female singer, am I on the right track so far?" Miranda nodded. "Reba McEntire" he said pointedly and Miranda composed herself so she didn't look to surprised. "Yes, how did you figure that out so quickly?" she asked. "It was simple really. I know more about country music then you would think, and I know something of your personality and preferences. Reba is known as the Queen of Country Music she has been since she made it big in the early 80's she helped to shape country music for women, at that time hardly anybody bought tickets to see women performers, she came out and connected with her audience and was the first female singer to out sell the boys in concert tickets. That alone right there does it Miranda, you are the Ice queen of the fashion industry, you relate to her in every way when it comes to success and having to deal with a world of men. Then there's the fact that she really is a hell of a singer." For the first time in the couple of days James had known Miranda he saw a real smile grace her face and it took his breath away. "I must say, that does impress me and of course you are quite right about us being the same in that way. Thank you for ordering dinner." she said. "Oh my God did I just say thank you to him?" she thought. James cleared the table and pulled out Miranda's chair for him. "You said you liked ABBA so now it's my turn let me guess your favorite song is take a chance on me?" "How did you know that?" he asked surprised. "James, you're a womanizer and you know you are always trying to seduce the next pretty young thing you work with, I know of your reputation, M made sure to tell me all about it. So why wouldn't it be your favorite song when all you want the pretty young thing your working with to do is take a chance on your skills in bed?" James grinned and lead them up the stairs and Miranda was wondering what had possessed her to say such a thing and more over why the hell she was following him up the stairs?. James lead her back into the entertainment room and he walked over to the huge stereo in the corner. "After your little confession about liking country music I took the liberty of making a CD of a few songs hoping that even though you are far superior to me your highness you would allow me the pleasure of a dance. He pressed play and the music filled the room. He walked over to her and held out his hand. She rolled her eyes and accepted it and they started to move in time as Miranda recognized the song to be I can love you like that by John Michael Montgomery.

They read you Cinderella
You hoped it would come true
That one day your Prince Charming
Would come rescue you
You like romantic movies
You never will forget
The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet
All this time that you've been waiting
You don't have to wait no more
