AU- Tom is similar to Mr. Darcy in modern day. Tom and original female character are going to a cabin with their friends.
"But why does he have to come along." I ask as my friend, Jane, as she shoves one our last suitcases filled with clothes into the back of the trunk. Little snowflakes danced and twirled in the gray sky. The wind blew gently against our already red cheeks making them burn even more.
"Because, he's a friend of Ben's and it's only polite." Jane said closing the trunk after finally shoving the suitcase in.
It was the first day of winter and as tradition dictates, it meant that jane and I will be spending 5 days at Jane's family cabin located right in the smack of lush forests and wilderness. It was 5 days of pure bliss for me as I was able to take time off of work and spend some quality catching up with my best friend. A moment where I can just bake cookies and drink a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise behind the glistening water from the frozen lake.
And definitely not the time where I am stuck with the oh-so-i'm-better-than-you, Tom.
"But i'm going to be miserable there. Can't you see jane?" I ask, pleading. She gave me a glare. Hands on her hips, she finished off with her famous Jane look which means that the case was closed.
"Fine." I huffed, my breath visible in the cold air.
I shoved my hands deeper into my pocket staring at the mansion in front of me. We were at snobby Tom's place as he was had generously offered to drive to the cabin in his rather exquisite expensive SUV.
Just then, Ben came out of the mansion doors, hands filled with luggage.
"Hello ladies!" He gave me a big smile and a little wink to Jane. They had been dating for the past few months and i've been gagging for the past few months.
Following him was the most difficult, boring, and egotistic man ever, Tom, also with hands full of bags and equipment.
He didn't even bother with the polite greetings. He grumbled something under his breath as he himself tried shoving his luggage in the back of the trunk.
I took painfully slow footsteps towards the SUV, hating myself for signing up for 5 days with him and mentally preparing myself for the 4 hour car ride to the cabin.
