A/N: Hi! So I hope you enjoy this. I will try and update as often as possible. You're feedback would be much appreciated.

If there was one thing to note about Fitzwilliam Darcy, it would be his serious and taciturn expression. This is the thought that comes into Georgiana's mind as she watches her brother take his morning coffee. She has been on guard as of late due to the circumstance that occurred a few years back with regard to a certain gentlemen whom they avoid talking about.

"Brother, are we to stay in town for the season?"

Darcy looks up and is about to answer when there is a knock on the door.

"Enter" says Darcy. It is Mrs. Reynolds, the head housekeeper who has served the Darcy Family since Mr. Darcy was a child.

"Beg your pardon sir. There was an express delivered from Mr. Bingley." She hands the letter to Mr. Darcy.

"Thank you Mrs. Reynolds" With that, she bows and heads out of the breakfast nook.

"It seems that Charles is inviting us to visit him at his new house in Hertfordshire. Would you like to come with me?"

"Who are coming along?" asked Georgiana.

"He says that he is to collect his sisters Miss Caroline Bingley and Mrs. Hurst as well as Mr. Hurst"

Georgiana scrunches her nose to show her reluctance and says "I'd rather not go brother. You know how Miss Bingley always seems to attach herself to me. And I do not like watching you being uncomfortable when she fawns over you."

Mr. Darcy nods in understanding. Indeed Charles' sister does not mask her designs for him though the way he acts towards her has almost always been bordering on the civil.

"Alright then. You can stay at our house in town with Ms. Annesley and visit with our Aunt and Uncle Fitzwilliam while I'm gone."

She nods in agreement and excuses herself to go to the Music Room while Darcy proceeds to his study to write a response to Bingleys invitation.

In two days time, they are packed and heading for London. They made good time and arrived at the house at Grosvenor street a bit earlier than intended. They went to their respective rooms to freshen up for dinner. Darcy found a letter waiting for him at his study. It was from Charles once again.

Darcy,

I have written to your house in London knowing that you would have arrived today. Caroline has pestered me into inviting both you and Georgiana for dinner tomorrow so that you may stay with us and leave together in the morrow bound for Netherfield. As you know, my dear sister "dotes on Georgina and you as well" as she put it. I do not know why she insists on it as even I have seen your reaction to her unwanted attentions.

Well I would understand if you cannot come and would prefer to meet us in the Morn instead. She would not stop talking until I wrote out the invitation.

Your Friend,

Charles Bingley

Darcy chuckled at his friends predicament and wrote out a reply stating that he would rather just meet them in the Morning as he had to attend to some business. He sent this via express and went down to sup with his sister.

The morning of their departure, Darcy said his farewell to his sister and proceeded to the Hursts home. He was greeted at the door and led to the sitting room where the occupants were waiting while the luggage was loaded. He was announced and was met by a very enthused Ms. Bingley.

"Mr. Darcy! It is such a great pleasure see you once again." She says while heading towards him and grabbing hold of his arm wanting to lead him to the settee she was occupying "Come and sit so that we may catch up."

Darcy gently dislodges his arm from Ms. Bingley and says "My apologies Ms. Bingley but I need to talk to Charles." He looks over to his friend "May we go to your study as I have a matter to discuss with you."

Charles raises his eyebrows and stops himself from chuckling. "Alright Darcy" He leads the man to his study leaving a dejected Ms. Bingley to her own devices.

When they get to Charles' study, he lets out a chuckle and says "So Darcy, what is it that you need to discuss with me?"

"Come now Charles, you know exactly why I asked to talk with you privately"

"Indeed. It seems my sisters attention has caused you to flee."

"Though that shows cowardice, I would rather take that than to put up with her attentions. No offense to you"

Bingley nods and they talk about his new house and the neighborhood as they wait for the carriage to be ready.

An hour or so later, the party was ready to depart for Netherefield each feeling differently from the other. While one was excited for the prospect of spending so much time with a certain gentleman, the gentleman in question is resigning himself to the atrocious attentions that the lady would surely to bestow on him. Mr. and Mrs. Hurst were readying themselves for sleeping and Mr. Bingley was just in general happiness to be going back to his very first property venture.
