So with all the excitement of Pirates coming out in less than a month, I decided I would join in the drabble fun. And then, I decided to think out of the box, so I sent Will and Elizabeth to Texas... hehe. Go easy on me... this is my first attempt at a fanfic, and I wrote it really fast. Constructive criticism is welcome, however!!
Disclaimer: Yeah, so I don't own Elizabeth or Will (darn) and I probably never will.
Drabble: London
Squinting her eyes in the sun, Elizabeth Turner looked up at her new husband and smiled. She was bored out of her mind, there was no doubt about that, but at least she was spending time with Will. He had been working so hard lately that once they got back from their honeymoon in France, she had barely seen him at all. She admired how hard he worked, but it was frustrating that she never got to spend time with him. He would wake just after sunrise to get ready for work, and often would not return until well after sunset, when he would, exhausted, stagger into their small home, eat dinner, and then collapse into bed. Working more (and also getting paid less) than the average person was disheartening for Will, but he would do anything to make sure his wife was comfortable.
Will sighed contently as he admired Elizabeth from afar. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun in the heat of the day, and her cheeks were flushed from the summer dryness. Her baby blue tank top and short shorts were ideal for the sweltering weather, and Will thought she could not be any hotter. Literally, and figuratively of course. Crossing the white porch of the small, dilapidated house, he watched as she smiled up at him. As he sat down on the aged wooden swing next to her, he took her hand and traced the creases in her sweaty, yet soft palm. Will knew that this was probably not Elizabeth's idea of a vacation, as she had been raised in a wealthier home and was accustomed to fancy hotels and room service, but he had promised his aunt and uncle that he would take his new wife to visit. Will chuckled as he remembered how Elizabeth reacted when he told her where they were going.
"Elizabeth, I was thinking…" Will started, not knowing how to tell his beloved wife, "We should spend some time together away from work and everything. My aunt and uncle have invited us to come and stay with them next week. They'll pay for air fare, and we can stay in the guest bedroom." Elizabeth's eyes lit up, as she was craving a getaway with the love of her life.
"That sounds great! Where do they live?" she asked, a grin plastered on her face and her eyes bright with excitement.
"London," Will stated dully, knowing how his wife would react. His guess was right: Elizabeth squealed with delight and jumped off of their bed to wrap her slender arms around him.
"I've always wanted to go to London! It sounds..." Elizabeth stopped, realizing the lack of excitement from her husband. She pulled away from him and crossed her arms in confusion. "Will, aren't you excited too?"
"Well…" he paused, running his fingers through his unkempt hair. "We're not going to London, England. My aunt and uncle live in London, Texas." Will cringed as he finished, knowing he had crushed his love's hopes for a romantic week in England. Elizabeth's grin faded slightly from her beautiful face as she softly acknowledged what Will had said.
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I would take you to England, but we just can't afford it right now. It won't be that bad in Texas," he trailed off, trying to cheer her up. She looked up and gave him a small smile.
"It's okay, Will. I understand. I'm just glad we'll be together," his stunning wife reassured him. He gazed adoringly into her light-brown eyes and lovingly placed a stray piece of her wavy, honey-colored hair behind her perfectly positioned ears. God, how he loved this woman. He could tell she was not overly thrilled on the idea of going to Texas, after all, there really was not much to do there, but she agreed because she loved him and wanted to spend time with him. He smiled as he planted a slow kiss on her tanned forehead.
Elizabeth let out a small sigh as she laid her head on Will's strong, muscular shoulder. She had gotten over the disappointment of not going to England when she arrived in Texas, as she got to spend every second with the love of her life. As she snuggled closer, Will wrapped a well-built arm around her dainty frame.
He turned his head to her ear and nuzzled it. "I love you, Elizabeth," he whispered to her, knowing that even that powerful phrase was not nearly enough to show the overpowering emotions that he felt for her. No words could describe his love for her; even Will could not measure how vast his love was.
Elizabeth closed her eyes in delight for a moment as chill bumps formed on her arms despite the tremendous heat around the lovers. She turned her head towards his and pressed her forehead against his, her eyes still closed.
"I love you, too, Will" she murmured as her beloved's lips slowly met hers for a lasting kiss. As they pulled away, light copper eyes met dark chocolate ones, and the newlyweds fell more in love than they were before. Will took Elizabeth's lovely head into his hands and placed a short kiss on the bridge of her nose. And as she giggled, she forgot where she was and what the time was. All that mattered in that moment was her love. True, London, Texas was not the most exciting town in the world, but as long as she was with William Turner, everything was perfect.
So, yeah. Review if you want. I just did this for fun. Don't you love procrastination?
