Elle POV
"She was like 'Why would you want to be a writer?' and that's how I decided writing was destined for me!" I declared proudly. Will turned and looked at me "Really you only wanted to write because your mother didn't want you to be?" I nodded "Defiantly I've always been like that doing things I wasn't supposed to…I even kissed a girl!" I started singing the song 'I kissed a Girl' by Katie Perry. Will just shook his head and laughed, it wasn't long before I couldn't help but laugh. "You know I'm glad we could be able to get to know each other this past week" I smiled at the statement "Yea this is a beginning of a wonderful friendship" I stated. "Elle you want to go to dinner tonight we can get Charlie and Jane to come as well" I smiled "Yes I would love to"
Three hours later
"Jane hurry up we are going to be late!" Jane waved her hand "Oh we won't now come here so I can do your hair and makeup" I groaned "Okay" I sat on the stool in front of the mirror "Okay let's see what we can do with that mop of hair" Jane said without looking up.

"What's taking the girls so long?" I paced back and forth the room. Charlie put a hand on my shoulder "You know I think you do like Elle" I looked at Charlie "Yes I do and I am going to tell her tonight" Charlie smiled "Finally!" Charlie exclaimed. The door to the girls room opened, I stopped and stood there waiting. Elle came out wearing a short black dress and black heels. Her hair was pulled in a French twist. She looked ravishing! She wore little makeup but she was still beautiful. "You look beautiful Jane" Charlie said as he kissed Jane's hand. I stood there still staring at Elle. "You look stunning" I said, my eyes on Elle the whole time. She smiled "Thanks"

"Well shall we go?" Charlie said. Everybody agreed and walked to the door. Will put my arm through his as we walked out the door. "So where are we going that you said we had to dress all fancy like?" Will laughed "I love when you talk all country like!" he said. I coughed "Excuse me? Is that mockery I hint?" I asked like I was offended. I couldn't help but burst out laughing when he gave me a 'what if it is' look. Soon he took off laughing too. "So whose car are we taking?" Charlie asked. "I vote for Will's car!" I said. "I call shotgun" I added. Everybody laughed "Yes I can bother Elle the whole ride there!" Charlie exclaimed. "Alright if you do that I will sit in the back with Jane" his eyes widened "But I want to sit with Jane!" I laughed "You sound like a six year old" I said through laughter. "So" he said. Then everybody burst out laughing. We got in the car and drove silently towards the restaurant where I still didn't know where it was or what it was.
We drove on streets bordered with huge oak trees shielding us from the demanding sun; the street held respectable small homes with kids running free on the lawn with their friends. The parents watching from the porch with the other parents, sipping from their glasses of ice cold sweet tea with lemon adorning the glasses. The kids never ran out of energy they would keep running on the lawn until the
parents called for diner or said lets come inside it getting dark. We drove from that street to another with bigger houses, the houses on this street was different they held coldness, held the feeling of being brought up with demands that can't be accomplished. The houses didn't have kids running around in the front yards; they didn't have parents sipping iced tea. They were just houses. "I grew up in that house" Will pointed to the biggest house on the street. It had a perfectly manicured lawn and three garages all filled with expensive cars. There was no love in that house, no feeling. As I was thinking about the house will grew up in Charlie was talking about when he would come and play at that house, he was afraid to touch anything. "I would be too" I said. He turned and faced me "Why? It is just like any other home" I looked at him "Are you kidding me your family probably had a bunch of antiques in there I would be afraid that I would break anything" I said. He didn't reply. The car navigated through the neighborhood until it came to the main highway. A couple of minutes later we came up to a restaurant with classical music pouring through the door. I only saw expensive cars like Will's. We pulled up and a valet came and opened the door for us. Will tossed the valet his keys nonchantly. "Wow so are you always so carefree when you go to these places?" I asked. He turned and faced me "It is just an act I put on when I am around the people I grew up with that always liked me because of my money" He pulled my hand through his and we walked into the restaurant. I glanced behind me and saw Jane and Charlie holding hands whispering and laughing with each other softly. I smiled, love was in the air. I looked at Will and smiled his hair even though he had tried to tame it; it was falling in his face over his beautiful eyes. I stopped myself I can't be having these feelings they aren't logical! Yes we had a couple good times but he is still Will Darcy! I mentally slapped myself.
Will POV
She was so beautiful sitting across from me putting her napkin silently on her lap. The waiter tried to put it on her lap like the waiters are supposed to do but she gently flicked her wrist in the universal sign of I can do it myself. A few curls of her hair were falling out of her bun shading her eyes. This was the girl I thought to myself. All those weeks of belittling myself of her charm and beauty were put to no use because I loved this women and I had to face it. I ordered for everybody because it was my treat and nobody opposed but Elle had that challenging look in her eye when I ordered her spicy shrimp penne. We got our food in twenty minutes top and began to eat and talk and laugh. There wasn't a thing that Elle and I argued over. Jane and Charlie were absorbed in their own little world. Slipping each other smiles and laughs. It was sweet. I hoped I could be that way with Elle one day. I looked at her; she was trying to pick up a piece of penne pasta. She was staring intently in that plate but suddenly she looked up at me to find that I was staring at her she smiled and laughed at herself and blushed a deep red. I smiled at how innocent she could look but when I knew she was far from it.
