Elizabeth's POV
I can't believe the sun is already up. It doesn't seem like it has been hours that I have been talking to William but it has. It is so easy to talk to him, so natural. He seems a little lost in his own world; I hope he isn't uncomfortable with how long we have been talking.
"Where did you go William? You seemed to be somewhere else right there." I can't believe I asked that. It is too late to take it back now.
"I was just thinking about how much I am enjoying talking to you. I haven't stayed up all night talking ever." I had to smile at this. He really likes talking to me. I know that I have fallen for this man. He challenges me and really listens to what I say. It is like I was made for him in a way. It just seems right to spend all night talking with him. I really hope it happens again. I can open up to him so much more than I can anyone else. Even when I talk to Jane, I have a hard time really opening up because she can't really see the bad in anyone.
"I know what you mean but I have done it. Having four sisters means a lot of late night talks, especially with Jane. We tend to open up to each other late at night, but with you, it is different. I don't know how to explain it but it is easier I guess and feels natural. Does that make sense?"
"Yes it does because I feel the same way. It just seems natural to confide in you and talk all night."
I am so happy he feels the same way. I would be heartbroken if he didn't. For the first time, I feel like I have found the person I am meant to be with.
(A little later)
Why is my phone ringing? I can tell it isn't Charlotte because I can see her and Jane is still asleep. I don't know who would be calling me otherwise. I guess I have to answer.
"Sorry, William, but I should answer this. I will be right back. Please, don't go anywhere."
"Ok, just hurry back."
"Hello"
"Hi, Lizzy. I was just calling to see if you and Jane were still planning on coming home this afternoon for a visit."
"Yeah, Dad, we are. I am not sure what time though, but I will call you when we are on our way. I got to go, the party is ending, and I want to say good-bye to a few people before they leave. Love you Dad."
"Love you, Lizzy, and see you later."
Once I hung up with my dad, I went back to where I left William but the area was cleared out. I saw Jane and she told me, "The others were clearing out and William was forced to leave but he should be around somewhere. He really didn't look like he wanted to leave. Where did you go?"
"Dad called me to make sure we were stopping by still. I am going to go look for William. I haven't given him my number yet and I really want to."
"Ok, I would check in the main room, but I am not sure if he is there because Charles got a call from his sister demanding he head home and I know they came together. I hope you find him."
"Thanks, Jane. I will be back to help clean up in a little bit."
I walked to the main room but I couldn't see him in the crowd. I hope he hasn't left yet. I asked Charlotte if she had seen him but she said no. I guess I should check outside and see if I can catch him. He doesn't seem to be inside at least. Oh no…, I think I just saw Charles leave. I really hope that wasn't him. I have no way of contacting William if it was.
(An Hour later)
Ok I have to give up. No one else is here. He is gone. I really hope that Jane got Charles' number so that I can try to get in contact with William through him. I need to go talk to her and help clean up.
"Hey Jane. I didn't find him in time. I don't know what to do. Please tell me you gave Charles your number or got his."
"I gave him my number but he didn't give me his. Why?"
"When he contacts you, will you ask him to give William my number or get William's for me please? I really like him."
"Of course I will, Lizzy."
"Thank you, Jane. Let's clean up and get out of here then."
I had a bad feeling as we were cleaning up though. There is something niggling at me that I wouldn't be able to contact William any time soon. A bit later, I found the reason. There, next to where Jane and Charles were, was the paper that Jane wrote her number on. He had forgotten it. I really hope he had put it in his phone already but I don't remember him taking it out. When I showed Jane she looked upset. I guess he hadn't programmed it in yet. There was no way for us to contact them. Jane was heartbroken because she thinks Charles left it on purpose but I don't. I saw the way he was looking at her. He probably put it down with his other stuff and didn't realize he forgot it when he left. I hope that I will run into William some time soon. I can't believe I waited to give him number. I don't know what I will do if I never see him again. If nothing else, maybe I will be accepted as, a transfer student at his school and find him there. Now I will just have to wait.
A/N: I am hoping to post william's pov to this either later today or tomorrow. Please review and let me know what you think.
