Tea With Darcy
A/N: here you go. Chapter 6.
Nancy woke up from her unconsciousness and looked around, wondering where she was and why. Being a tramp for about three months, she felt as if she was not going to sleep in a decent bed in all her life.
Darcy opened the door gently and entered into the room. He was surprised to Nancy recovered from her unconsciousness. He was also a bit embarrassed and didn't know how to begin a normal conversation with her.
"Would you kindly tell me where I am, sir?" Nancy inquired.
"You are in the guestroom of my fiancée's household, Longbourn." Darcy answered.
"So you are …Fitzwilliam Darcy?"
" Yes."
Nancy, very excited, jumped up from the into Darcy's arms.
"Now, now, Miss, do calm yourself." Said Darcy, while feeling happy that she did it-for an unknown reason.
"Excuse me-I do forget my manners sometimes, especially when I get excited. The truth is, I've following you for months."
Darcy was taken aback. " Following me? What for?"
"To help you whenever I can."
"Thank you." Darcy replied, touched.
Darcy looked at his watch: 4:30pm.
"Would you like to have tea with me?"
"YES!!!"
Darcy smiled and rang the bell. A servant entered.
"Kathy, do bring two cups of tea and two pieces of chocolate cake."
There was a short silence between them.
"Darcy?"
"Yes Nancy?"
"I just want to tell you that I love you and never regretted coming to England of 1811 for you. I will always be there for you. And you can be sure that Nancy Li keeps her word." She gave him her hand. Darcy took it. It was the first time that Darcy felt thrilled to shake someone's hand.
Darcy took up his tea cup. "To our friendship."
"To our friendship." Replied his new friend.
As Nancy took a sip of her tea she smiled. After so many sacrifices, she had won Darcy's friendship.
