A/N: Hey everyone, here is a new chapter for you all. Thanks so much for sticking with me and this story.

Also thanks to the reviewers who pointed out the mistakes in my last chapter. They are now all fixed.


When Lizzie woke up the next morning she was surprised to find herself so comfortable. Then she got that mini panic attack of forgetting where was she but, after a second or two she finally realised that she was in one of the Darcy's guest bedrooms. All of the memories from the past two days flooded back to her.

She then got up and checked her phone. It was half past nine. Lizzie realised that was probably a sleep in for Darcy and Gigi, so she quickly went over to the wardrobe and put on the dressing gown that Gigi must have hung up for her last night, while she was sleeping. She then went to go join the others.

But of course when she left her room, to her to head down to the kitchen, she ran into none other than Darcy. Who, had just come out of the shower, and was wearing just a towel, and was dripping wet.

This could only happen to me, she thought to herself.

"Oh Lizzie" he uttered, as he looked embarrassed. "I, uh, was just taking a shower. I, um, thought that everyone was down stairs for breakfast, Gigi said that…."

"Ah no, the alarm on my phone didn't go off, so well, I slept in late." she said, as she examined his muscular arms and well defined chest.

"Oh, ok….. well, I just, erm, go to my bedroom" he said as he pointed to the bedroom the one furthest down the hall and took a step forward.

"Yeah ok" she responded "I'll see you at breakfast then."

"Yeah at breakfast" and like that he had slid past her and was headed for his room.

As Lizzie walked down the stairs, she felt incredibly flushed. They had, had previous awkward encounters before but that one took top prize. He was half naked for god sake. Not that she was complaining. He was quite good looking with his shirt and bowtie on but without he looked like he could be a model.

Why had she turned this guy down again? Lizzie could hardly remember anymore. Oh yeah, that's right, he broke up Jane and Bing. But at that moment, that felt like the only reason.

She pushed those thoughts out of her mind; she couldn't change what was in the past.

When she entered the kitchen, she saw Gigi and Fitz huddled over the island bench, in deep conversation.

"Hey you two" she called out, startling them.

"Oh hey Lizzie B" Fitz said as he looked like he was in trouble.

"Morning Lizzie, have a good sleep?" Gigi asked, looking a cute and innocent as ever.

"Yeah I did thanks. Sorry I'm late. My alarm didn't go off; even though I'm sure I set it last night." Lizzie said, and thought about that for a second.

The dressing gown. Gigi probably turned off her alarm when she hung it up.

I really need to put a password on my phone, Lizzie thought to herself.

"Ah that's no problem, Darcy hasn't come down anyone" Fitz stated, as he tried to change the subject and he hoped Lizzie didn't notice. She did, and was onto their little game now.

"Yeah I know; I just ran into him upstairs." Lizzie said calmly as she played them a bit.

"Really?" asked Gigi, as her face lit up.

"Yeah, he came out of the shower, as I was going to go down stairs. Weird right?" she said quite sarcastically.

"Weird" Gigi and Fitz both said in unison.

"You two wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" she asked them.

"Nup" they both said together again.

Darcy then entered the room and stopped the conversation. Lizzie noticed that his hair was still a bit wet.

"Morning everyone" he said, glaring at Gigi and Fitz, only confirming what Lizzie had just been thinking.

"I hope everyone slept well."

"Yes" everyone replied.

"Soooooo" Fitz said after a second or two of silence "What are we having for breakfast? Cause I'm famished."

"I was thinking pancakes, if that's all right with everyone" Gigi suggested

Everyone happily agreed with a nod of the head from both Lizzie and Darcy, and Fitz let them know as he emptied the cupboards of the ingredients.

Breakfast was enjoyable. They all had at least six, decent sized pancakes each, all wanting a different toping on everyone. They were delicious.

The conversation was great also. Everyone mainly talked about work though, but Lizzie and Gigi did manage to tease a couple of times as well and he took all of the teases graciously.

It was almost half past elven when Lizzie was ready to leave.

Like the previous night she was more than happy to take a cab to her house but again the Darcys and Fitz insisted against it.

"Lizzie, it's really no trouble. I will drop you off and then head back to the office. I have a video conference at one anyway. It wouldn't be an inconvenience."

"Darcy, are you sure? I already feel like I have imposed on you too much" Lizzie said, as she felt like she like she already owed them a fortune.

"Lizzie, just take the offer already" called Gigi.

"Alright fine but I owe you guys one, seriously. I would hate to feel guilty every time I saw one of you" she stated, not that she didn't already, around Darcy.

"How about you join us for dinner then" said Gigi as she dropped the magazine she was reading and joined Lizzie and Darcy.

"We are going to a bar tonight for dinner, so you can repay us by buying us a round of drinks. C'mon what do you say?" Gigi asked, as she nudged Lizzie.

"Oh alright, I haven't got anything else to do" she said as she smiled.

"Bing and Caroline are coming too. So you get to see them as well." Darcy said, to let Lizzie know more of the arrangements.

"Oh ok" Lizzie replied as she took in the information she had just heard.

Lizzie hadn't seen both the Lees in quite a while and both departures from them hadn't really gone down well. With Caroline it was their argument about everything to her sister's relationship with Bing to her family to Darcy's letter. With Bing, it was the fact that he left all of a sudden without and explanation especially to Jane.

Darcy must have picked up that Lizzie might have been not so thrilled by this news and asked her so caringly "That's ok with you isn't it?"

"Yeah it's not a problem. I'm looking forward to it" was all she responded with.

"Shall we go then?" asked Darcy

She nodded and followed him into his car.


A/N: Ok so I no it was a bit to have Darcy run into Lizzie half naked and wet but seriously how could I pass up that offer.

I hope you all enjoyed that chapter even though it was a shorter one. The next chapter is on its way and I have a lot of ideas about what I should do :)

Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a comment good or bad, I'm always up to constructive criticism.

Hope you're having a good day or night where ever you live :)
