Hey guys sorry about the wait! R&R plz!
Elle POV
"What?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs "You work on the newspaper? Oh my God!" she turned around and muttered a curse "Is that a bad thing?" he asked as if nothing was wrong. She turned around aggravated "Yes that is a bad thing, not only do I have to put up with you at the dorm now I have to put up with you at work!"
I turned to walk out of the room "Wait Elle" I turned back around "I know we don't like each other but you are a great writer and I haven't had a good writer on the paper since last year's first semester and then she moved" I raised my brow "I'll think about it" I said, not fully convinced I should do this, "What section would I write in?" I asked. He looked at me and then he looked at his hands "Um I have an opening in the front page and in sports take your pick" he said. I smiled, front page would be the best thing ever "I'll take front page" I said in a business like voice trying to conceal the excitement.
"Okay I'll set" a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. "I'll get it" I walked to the door and opened it not expecting an overly excited George Wickham holding a beautiful bouquet of red and white roses. I stood my mouth agape (every time I see him my mouth is agape…weird) "Um hello George" he smiled and walked right in to the living room "What are you doing here" said a tight-lipped Will Darcy. His blue eyes had veil of anger clouding them "I came to see the beautiful witty Elle Bennet" George said in a cheerful manner "Hi George" I said again dumbly "Ah yes my gorgeous Elle I have come here to sweep you off your feet and take you to dinner" he said.
"She can't she already has a date tonight" said Will. My mouth formed an O. "With whom?" George and I asked in unison "With me and we will be late if we don't hurry" he walked towards me grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door and down the hallway. "What is that all about?"
I asked impatiently. I pulled my hand free from his grasp. "I was saving you from that monster" he said curtly. "You what?!" he looked at me "Don't tell me you actually think that man is a respectable gentleman who would treat you with dignity?" he asked in a cold tone. "What if I do?" he just muttered something I couldn't hear "Wait a minute why do you even care?" I asked. He turned to face me "I care because I care about you especially since you became involved with that person" I glared at him "You have no right to interfere with my life okay so just leave me alone" I yelled.
We had already made our way to the parking lot where it was deserted. We just stood there facing each other, my eyes glared at him his eyes had an angry frustrated look in them. I turned swiftly on my heel and started to walk away "Elle please just hear me out ok" it was Will. I turned around "Fine I will but don't think much of it" I said. I walked back to him. "Well should we discuss this over dinner?" he asked. I nodded, "Okay but nothing fancy" He gestured to his BMW convertible. "You know I love your car" he smiled "Well I like yours better Elle"
He walked over to the passenger side of the car and held the door open for me "You don't have to do I capable to open a car door myself" I said, I stepped in the car. He got in and we drove to a quaint little hole in the wall place down the road from the campus. He helped out of the car and we walked into the restaurant. A host came up "Yes Sir?" he asked. Will stepped towards him and whispered something on his ear "Yes of course right this way" he ushered us to booth way in the back of the restaurant away from all the other tables. "Your server will be right with you" he said politely "Now what is it that you wanted to talk about?" I asked.
He took his napkin and placed in his lap he did the same for me "Well as you probably guessed George Wickham is an old acquaintance of mine, I had the pleasure of knowing him since infancy" a waiter came and took our drink orders and Will ordered our food as well. "As I was saying his father was our gardener and they lived with us. Soon his father had a heart attack and died shortly after, my father always liked Wickham and took him in as his own son. A couple of years ago my father died and left a great inheritance for George, my sister, and myself. George ran away and gambled his inheritance off in a couple of weeks he came back and asked for more money and I refused to give him any. He then professed passionate love for my sister and tried to get him to marry him. She refused because she knew of his tricks but he raped her leaving her pregnant and alone. She now has two beautiful twin girls that she raises in England at a house that our family owns called Pemberly" Our waiter came back with our orders.
"Wow" that was the only word I could think of. "I'm so sorry about being a jerk to you about him" I said quietly. He smiled "its okay I just don't want him to hurt anybody else" I smiled "Thanks you're really a nice guy sometimes" we both laughed. "So we should eat before this turns cold" he said "What did you order me anyways?" I asked suspiciously. He laughed "Oh just some crab meat and penne" I smiled "That's my favorite!"
