Passion on Ice
Note: I will still update my other JA fanfic Reunion, but I wanted to start this.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything just some characters that you don't recognize.
Summary: Will Darcy, a rich and experienced ice skater, the most eligible bachelor in England. Lizzy Bennet, a talented but rebellious skater. When Darcy's coach decides to pair him up with Lizzy Bennet, sparks fly and tempers flare. As they skate towards Olympic gold and love, how will they their journey end?
Will skated a few circles around the ice rink and did a triple, but inspiration still didn't come to him. 32 year old Will Darcy, with leaf brown hair and ice blue eyes, a rich and talented ice skater was out of ideas.
Reggie, his coach, sighed again as he watched Will skated.
"Come on, Will. If you keep this up we will have to pair up with some skater. You can't just waste your talent."
"I don't know Reggie. I haven't been concentrating these past few weeks and I can't think of anything. I feel like I'm waiting for something……or someone."
"That's it, Will. You've never been so sentimental before. You need a wake up call…… you need bad."
"I'm going to pair you up with someone. You'll do the skating world shame if you keep on doing this. Come on Wednesday afternoon."
Will, who had been staring into space, gave a start. "WHAT! Reggie, you KNOW how much I hate skating pairs. It is so annoying. The nag you, they complain about hard work, they don't skate well, they fawn over me….. Aww, come on, Reggie. Charlie is coming on Wednesday from California and I have to pick him up."
"You'll have plenty of time to pick him up in the morning; his plane arrives at 12:00, right? In fact, why don't you invite him to watch? He sure needs a few laughs after Genevieve's death."
Darcy was about give a sharp retort but he sobered as he how sad and utterly devastated his friend had been when his fiancée died in a car crash only a week before their wedding.
"Alright…. But I am only doing this because I'm being forced to." Darcy went off to the changing rooms sulking over his defeat.
Reggie watched him go, chuckling. Oh, Wednesday was going to be hilarious day!
"Elizabeth Sarah Anne Bennet! Come over here quick, NOW! I've got something to show you something."
Elizabeth winced and swept her brownish auburn hair out of her view, her warm green eyes twinkling with amusement and slight annoyance. Charlotte was her best friend, but when Lottie spoke in that tone of voice. She sighed.
"Coming Lottie." Lizzie nodded apologetically Queenie, her skating coach, who grinned and shook her head. She knew Lottie well and found these "scenes" more amusing than annoying.
"Lottie, what is it?" Lizzie shook her head.
"LOOK AT THE MAGAZINE!" Lottie screamed, her normally tidy blonde curls messed up in her excitement. "Will Darcy, that rich skater is looking for a partner! You should go, Lizzie!"
Before Lizzie could answer, she heard Queenie's voice. "Ya, you should Lizzy, you have real talent."
"You know, with all this flattery, my head will grow big." Lizzie smiled, but both Queenie and Lottie saw that she was avoiding their gazes.
"Why?" Queenie asked.
"Look guys, I just don't want to." Lizzie headed toward the centre of the rink, wanting to avoid their questions.
"But…" Lottie trailed off.
Lizzie turned around and flashed a triumphant smile, knowing she had won.
"Besides, I would go just for the laughs."
