Chapter 2
Simply Breathtaking
By MissHotness
"Oi, William, c'mon, bring it on!" A boy, around seventeen years old yelled across the park field. His shout was received by a curt laugh from a boy, also seventeen, who was kicking a soccer ball skilfully between his feet. He had golden-blonde wavy hair, a very good looking face and a tanned complexion, with an adorable lop-sided grin placed firmly on his face. He flicked the ball up so if flew upwards onto his knee and he bounced it effortlessly there for a few seconds before kneeing it higher so he could hit it with his head. To his satisfaction, it went flying past the boy who had recently yelled at him, who dived without luck to retrieve it, and into a white goal post.
A boy came running up to him, cheering. "Way to go Will!" He said, slapping him enthusiastically on the back. "Cheers Ernie" William laughed. Ernie spoke again "Ha! he so got you there James!" He said to the boy who was now picking himself off the ground in front of the goal post. James brushed off the dirt form his sleeve and shook his head at William. "He'd 'ave done the same with you thank you very much Ernie" James said, folding his arms and grinning at William. "Geez Will, I've never known anyone to be so good at kickin' like that"
They laughed and William scratched his head absentmindedly, embarrassed. "C'mon guys…" He drifted off, picking up the ball and handing it to James. They laughed again as they walked down the path and through the trees of the large park. Talking and chatting, the three best friends strode down the road, intending on going back to William's place for lunch. But before they could even began to walk out of the park, two young girls, around 15, giggled past them. "Hello Will" One of them said cheekily, as they both glanced at him. William grinned back at them, winking. At his reaction they turned to each other and giggled harder before walking away. The boys on either side of him groaned. "Still the usual charmer eh?" Ernie said, smirking. William shrugged and took the ball back, stuffing his hands in his pockets and bouncing it on his knee once again, grinning.
He looked back up at his friends, who were now talking about the party they had to attend that night, but suddenly stopped, dumbstruck, looking over Ernie's shoulder. He had just seen the two girls he had just winked at, stop at a park seat just beside the path to talk to a girl William had never seen around here before. The most beautiful, gorgeous, captivating girl he had ever laid his eyes upon. Her slender hands closed the book shut she had been reading and she stood up, inclining her head to the two girls, smiling politely. Her slightly wavy, shoulder length dark brown hair swayed as she moved and didn't seem to have one hair out of place. Her eyes were a stunning shade of grey-blue, sparkling in the light, and she was wearing a beautiful lavender dress that had embroidery winding its way down to accentuate her curves. A matching lavender fan was being held loosely in her left hand and she was talking to the girls with every syllable producing elegance.
"Oww!" He exclaimed, rubbing his head as he had just accidentally hit himself with the ball. His friends sniggered and the girls turned around at his yell, the new one included. Upon noticing him, the girl looked puzzled for a moment, as if she had seen him before, but soon lifted her hand to her mouth and giggled at him. His face burned with embarrassment but his mouth remained open as she turned and walked away with the two girls, looking back once to flash him a brilliant smile.
His insides took a double take and he seemed to be momentarily frozen with amazement.
He goggled after her and spoke almost incoherent words to his friends. "Who…is…she…"
The two boys turned around in interest. "What-oh the one in Lavender?" Ernie said, looking after her too. William nodded briefly, not taking his eyes off the now disappearing girl.
"I heard about her…" James said, looking interested. "That's Wendy Darling"
"Wendy…" William said slowly, breathing the word through his lips softly, what a beautiful name…he was sure he had known another Wendy some time ago.
"Yeah" James continued. "Her family just moved here from the other side of London, her father works at the Bank"
"The Bank?" William turned his focus back on James, realising something. "So he's the new Head Manager!"
William's father was actually the owner of the bank, and even higher up than Mr Darling. In fact…
"Yeah" Ernie said, laughing. "So guess who's gonna be his boss then Will, eh? Looks like you could be spending a lot more time with this Wendy Darling by the way you were gazing after her like a long lost puppy"
"Hey!" William said, pushing his friend so he stumbled, but was still laughing.
James shook his head. "I dunno, Will" He said, shrugging. "From what I heard, her Father has already got plans for her with that Josh Rancher"
William turned to him in disgust. "That uptight dickhead from the country club?"
"The very same" James said, wrinkling his nose at the thought of it. Like William's father, Joshua's father was also the head of his own felid. Being the owner of the Country club, the family was considerably wealthy, as William's family was, but were very...full of themselves. Joshua was not used to being outsmarted so he had often been jealous of William's talents in….well, everything and often overlooked him as if he was someone of little importance, so it was only natural that William spoke with dislike when it came to Joshua Rancher.
"There is no way she can ever fall for him" William said, though not really meaning it. He knew very well that however much he hated the guy, he had to admit a couple of facts. Josh wasn't bad looking, and he was known to be able to charm the socks off anyone who came into the vicinity. So, he wasn't really positive she wouldn't like him; he just really, really hoped she could see past his slimy grin.
The three boys walked out of the park and down the street, still talking about the new girl, Wendy Darling.
"But, I mean c'mon Will!" Ernie said, rolling his eyes. "You could have any girl in the whole of London- they've all fallen for you at some point-and, I know what you're staring at, she is the prettiest girl in town but why, why did you have to fall for the one girl that had already been organised for the one and only Joshua Rancher?"
William paused for a moment, thinking. It was a good question. It was true, and it made him grin, that he could have any girl he wanted, but for some odd reason, he was drawn to this one. There was something about her that he couldn't quite put his finger on. Like a feeling, a feeling that they had met before. He was sure he had seen her or known her from somewhere, but couldn't remember what it was. It was highly frustrating. But, that brought another thought into his mind. If he could remember her, could she remember him? Was that brilliant smile she had given him before she left because she knew him from sometime ago, or sheerly as a polite gesture? He was still deep in thought when he heard a faint voice calling him.
"Will, hey Will? EARTH TO WILL!"
He was snapped out of his thoughts and noticed they had stopped walking and his two best friends were staring at him. "What?" he said defensively, making them laugh. "You've got it bad mate" Ernie said. "Now I know what they mean when they say 'Love at first sight'"

"Oh Miss, please sit still!" Sarah said exasperatedly, holding her head still with one hand while trying to brush Wendy's hair with the other. "Honestly, you're about as jumpy as a rabbit this evening"
Wendy sat on the very edge of her chair and looked at her reflection while applying mascara to her long, brown eyelashes. She was indeed very jumpy, but she doubted it was for any reason Sarah could think of. She tried to sound airy as she answered Sarah's remark, though she thought it was a bit feeble nether the less.
"Oh, just excited about the party tonight" She said, putting down her mascara and picking up her powder puff. She patted her face lightly with it before looking back up at the mirror to see Sarah, still brushing her hair, but now wearing a distinctive smirk on her face.
"What is it?" Wendy asked curiously, still trying to sound airy and truthful.
"You really want to know what I think?" She said, raising her eyebrows, but otherwise making so other signs that she knew what Wendy was thinking.
Wendy rolled her eyes and said "Of course I do, Sarah"
Sarah put the brush back down on the dressing table and leaned in, pulling a strand of Wendy's hair away from her face, still smirking. "I think" she said in Wendy's ear "That you are expecting someone at this party tonight, Wendy"
Wendy's eyes widened and she looked away from Sarah, standing up and walking away to try and busy herself in her wardrobe, as if inspecting her wardrobe for which dress to wear. "I…I don't know what you're talking about, Sarah"
"Oh, Wendy dear" Sarah said, sighing and pulling her down to sit on the four poster bed. "I have known you for longer than you can ever remember" Wendy smiled at this, knowing it was perfectly true. "And I think you will find it will be very hard to lie to me. Now, tell me, for I am very interested, who is it that you want to see there"
Wendy sighed and looked at Sarah in surrender. She was too good. "I…I don't know his name…exactly" She said, standing up and walking away. "But..." she trailed off, grinning. "…he is very good-looking…"
Sarah smiled in a know-it-all kind of way and said "Go on, dear"
Wendy's face had transformed into the young, girly look that a child gets when they open their first Christmas present. Her eyes were bright as she described him to Sarah. "Well…" She was trying the think of the best way to describe him. "He is taller, and thin, but not lanky, no…far from that…a wonderful soccer player…" She laughed, and so did Sarah. "He has…umm…golden blonde hair, slightly wavy…"
Suddenly, without Wendy's notice, Sarah's smile had begun to slip; she sat on the bed with her hands clasped together, her foot starting to tap nervously. Wendy plunged on however, never realising her older companion was beginning to change.
"…and a tan as I've never seen before…he must have visited America or Paris for a long time to reach such a natural-
Sarah's smile slipped further and her foot was tapping more insistently, as if Wendy was saying something dreadfully wrong. Still, Wendy had not noticed, as she was still gazing into space while talking.
"…his smile is one I can't describe…and…and…" Her grin became wider. "And he has the most…gorgeous eyes I have ever seen…like sapphires…sparkling like you would not believe…"
She trailed away and stopped speaking, smiling to herself and picking up her brush as she sat down on her chair again. Sarah got up slowly and walked over to her mistress. There was no smile on her face anymore, only the expression of someone who was unwillingly curious.
"You seem puzzled by him, my lady" She said, tentatively, taking the brush from her and beginning to wind her hair gently into little twists.
"I am…" Wendy said thoughtfully. "Sarah, I just can't shake off the feeling that I've met him somewhere before"
Sarah stopped dead at these last few words. "S…somewhere before?" She said. "Where?"
"That's just it" Wendy said, placing a ring on her finger and examining it. "I can't remember…"
There was silence for a few seconds as Sarah finished Wendy's hair. Wendy smiled and looked at it. It was very pretty. Two twists on each side, wound their way up to intertwine with the delicate knot at the back of her head, while a few, dark curls lay on either side of her face giving her the soft but elegant look she loved. "Oh, it's lovely Sarah, thankyou so much"
There was a knock at the door and Sarah opened to find Lucy holding a beautiful light blue dress. "Here we go, Miss" Lucy said, handing the dress to Wendy. "It just arrived"
Wendy thanked her and put the dress on. She felt the silk material and looked at it critically in her mirror on the wall. Deciding that it was actually quite pretty, she smiled. It was long and tight, without much decoration but it had the plain and simple air around it that made Wendy feel beautiful. The silk draped over her shoulders instead of having straps and Sarah began to pick out various necklaces and shoes that would match the dress for Wendy to choose from. She looked over them all and picked a sparkling set of blue and silver heels to go with a set of diamond ring, earrings and necklace that she did not want to know the price of.
She straightened up and gave Sarah her best smile, making her nod with satisfaction. "Simply stunning Miss, simply stunning"
Wendy thanked her and took her last look in the mirror before picking up her white gloves and walking confidently out the door and down the stairs, ready for the night ahead.
