I'm sorry I've taken soooo long to update again, this has been sitting in notepad for years, I even wrote it in America, but I've been far to busy to do anything but update my blog once a week and get moving on with my schoolwork.

I mean, seriously,- who even wants to know about Chemistry Covalent Bonding.

Don't answer that.

Anyway, on with the tale!

"What? What? What?" Will finally called out to the person pounding on his bedroom door.

"It's me" the cheeky voice called, assuring Will that it was his incorrigible younger sister. He sighed, and ran a hand through his hair

"Come in"

Finally given permission, she charged in and started pacing up and down, up and down, up and down. After five minutes Will had definitely had enough. He shot up from his pillows and scowled at her

"Would you please stop that!! It's, it's - maddening!" he spat out, getting the word he wanted.

"Well?? I have a lot to pace about. So there. Enjoy your sleep" and Georgie turned round and marched up his room again. She went back and forth, back and forth again.

Will gave up with a frustrated sigh and put his head back down.

He was on the edge of a most peaceful sleep when Georgie's voice pulled him back to the land of reality.

"Well? What do you think of him?"

Will sat up in total disbelief and stared at his sister

"What do I think of who?" he growled

Georgie looked a little taken aback at his tone, but carried on,

"Why Tom of course" she said, her cheeks staining red.

Two thoughts registered themselves upmost on Will's mind

1) Thank G-d she didn't have a crush on Jerry too

2) He'd never seen her blush before so... who is this guy? What is his license plate? How old is he?

"Georgie.." he started in a voice that was patient but had an underlying steelness to it "Who is Tom?"

"Thomas Bennet, you know, the boy at the party" she said, in disbelief that Will didn't know

"I didn't see any boys at the party last night... actually, come to think of it, I didn't even see you at the party last night. What were you doing?" he paused for a second then shot out "How old is he?"

"Relax Will" Georgie giggled "You're behaving like an over protective father"

"Someone has to" Will gritted through his teeth, before persisiting "How old is Tom?"

"I dunno, maybe 19 or 20" Georgie answered, as airily as she could

Will shot out of bed

"WHAT???" he yelled "You should know better! You spent the whole of last night in the company of a 20 year old. Don't you know what 20 year olds are like? They're dangerous Georgie... dangerous" He spelt it out.

If Georgie was taken aback at his tone earlier, she was downright shocked now

"What is the MATTER with you Fitzwilliam Samuel Darcy?? I was joking. Joking. J.O.K.I.N.G. Tom is at the most fourteen. Are you happy?"

Will sat down again, annoyed with himself at his outburst. He put a hand to his head and groaned.

"Sorry sis, I'm tired, and last night was a disaster."

Georgie was on her way out of the room, but stopped at Will's bald confession. He usually never told her anything about his private life, or how he felt.

"What do you mean?" she asked quietly "Did you meet the girl you used to know?"

"Yes" was the sullen reply "And she was the horrible lawyer I have told you about before"

"No way!!"

When her brother didn't reply, she realised that he was telling the truth.

"Ok-a-a-a-y" she said slowly "I know!!! I'll set you up with the perfect girl for you and she'll never bother you again" obviously she read the situation wrong, but Will couldn't be bothered putting her right.

"There is no such thing as a perfect girl" he said smiling

"Oh yes there is. I met her last night, and the minute I saw her I knew that she would be absolutely perfect for you. She has a lovely family, she's gorgeous, kind and stunning! Charlie is in love with her twin sister, and her brother is great, so therefore I have found you the perfect wife"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't even know her name - and you're saying we'll get married?" [Yep Darcy, don't you know?? - Sorry, as an author I shouldn't speak out, but he deserves it!]

"Will? How clueless can you get? I think you should meet her, you'll get along swimmingly"

Will passed a hand over his eyes in an attempt to look agonized, but really he was smiling at his younger sister

"Not going to happen Georgie"

"Too bad, you're already going out with her on a blind date... Tom and I decided it, and we got her to agree since she likes me so much now!"

Will refrained himself from ending her life there and then

"What was her name again?"

"Elle. Elle Bennet." She watched in fascination as her brother's face drained completely of colour "Come on man, it's not that bad, she's FAMOUS"

"Georgie" Will's voice was cold and dull again "Did I fail to clarify that Elizabeth Bennet is the girl I knew all those years ago?"

She put her hand to her mouth and coloured a little

"And..." he carried on "She is also the horrible lawyer that I can claim an aquaintance"

Now, Georgie knew that Will claimed an aquaintance with one of Tom's sisters, but since he said that she used an Alias for work, she thought it must be Jane because her name wasn't as close to Elizabeth. She didn't realise that Elle was the lawyer.

"She's not cold, or anything like you described her!" she squeaked once she got over the shock.

"Yes she is, and she's madly in love with Jerry Hopkins, so just leave me alone"

"You like her, you like her, you like her" Georgie danced around him

Blleeeeeep Her phone bleeped

"It's Tom!" she said excitedly, blushing ferociously

"You like him, you like him, you like him" Will said, grinning at her.

That made Georgie flee from his room. Fast!

****

"Tom! Whip the silly smile off your face" Elle said, breezing through the rooom "Who are you texting?" She leaned over the phone to have a better look but Tom pulled it away and put it in his jeans pocket.

"What?" he asked her, grinning cheekily "Can't a man have some privacy?

"Can't an older sister have a look at what is causing her innocent little boy to blush and grin like that?"

"No" Tom said stubbornly

"Then the answer from me is also no!" Elle answered grinning as she reached for his pocket, tickling him when he attempted to stop her

"Ah hah!" she grabbed the iPhone, but made no attempt to look through it for messages "I'll give this back to you without even having a peep, if you do me the favour of telling me who you are texting"

"Jerry" Tom said desperately

Elle began to peer at the phone "One last chance little brother, Jerry dropped his phone down a drain, accidentally, yesterday"

"Dad?"

Elle began to move her thumbs across the touchpad, showing Tom openly that she was about to look in his mailbox.

"Fine!!" Tom sighed "I was texting Georgie. Can I have it back now??"

Elle handed it over "You should be ashamed of yourself Tom; you have no spirit at all!! Why didn't you hold out to the end?"

"Elle..." Tom said, mock sternly "You know just as well as I do that you're saying that because you're disappointed not to have seen the text messages"

Elle flounced away from him

"I could get the whole secret service tracking your every move if I so much as clicked a finger" she shot from the door.

Tom thought it a very dramatic parting shot. But what can you expect if she had a father like Thomas Bennet?

He smiled as he heard her laugh as she went downstairs and thought "Sisters!" for a quarter of a half of an eighth of a milisecond before going straight back to texting Georgie.

And so, life went on. Days passed. Charlie had finally come to terms with who Jane was and why she'd lied to him (Tom had snapped one day, and upped and told him)

The Bennet children began to associate quite often with the Darcys, and more often than not, Charlie and Jane and Tom and Georgie would go to parties or bowling.

Tom and Georgie became the best of friends and insisted to everyone that the friendship was merely friendship. Platonic as a fish. The only thing that Elle and Darcy agreed on was that both Tom and Georgie were lying, but they thought it they were a little too young to get anywhere near involved, so left it at that.

("But Tom definitely stares at Georgie, when he's sure no-one's looking with this funny look on his face" Elle repeated to Will once when they were thrown together and exchanged pleasantries. Both were desperately trying to keep the emotions off their faces.

"I agree, and Georgie does exactly the same" Will agreed.

They were so surprised to find that the other actually said something civil to them, that they were rendered speechless for a few moments, before Tom came and successfully destroyed the moment)

Everyone else came to terms with the hatred between Will and Elle, and left them alone, but Tom was sure that they - despite what they said - secretly were in love.

Georgie, on the other hand, said that Will didn't fall in love and Tom was just a hopeless romantic.

That was when they made a bet. £100 to Tom if they didn't end up in a relationship, and £100 to Georgie if they did, by Christmas Day 2010

It was so that she would be £100 richer, that Georgie told Elle about Gina Wickham. She explained to Elle that Will was now in a relationship with her, and asked her advice on it.

Of course, Will had been slightly infatuated with the girl two years ago when they first met - she had been one of Hilary's friends - but although Gina seemed very possessive of him, the infatuation had died, Will had grown up, and Gina had disappeared. Lately, she turned up again, claiming to be related to the Bennets in some strange way.

Elle's face when told this; turned to stone. It wasn't the jealousy that was flooding through her veins, or the hopeless feeling at Will's stupidity. It was cold hard rage at the audacity of Gina.

"You'd better go home" she acidly told Georgie, who, after taking one look at Elle's face, got up, and ran.

"I hear you know Gina Wickham?" She observed in as neutral a voice as she could muster to Will the next time she met him. He was leaning against the kitchen sink, and nearly fell over at her casual talk

"Yeah, she's a good friend of mine."

"Miss Wickham is blessed with many friends. Whether she will be able to keep them is debatable" Elle returned sharply shoving him out of the way to switch the tap on and fill a glass of water.

Will looked at her amused.

"Well, she's been unfortunate enough to lose 'your' friendship. Something, which I fear she will suffer from for the rest of her life"

Then, he did something that Elle had never had anyone do to her yet. He shoved her back, and resumed his nonchalant position against the sink.

"How dare...?" Elle was so furious at his words and actions that she tipped the remnants of her glass down his collar.

Will's grin disappeared. He grabbed her by the shoulders, and pulled her close to him.

"Don't mess with me" he whispered, far too close to her ear for comfort.

He then pulled her closer and tilted her chin up...

"He's going to kiss me" Elle thought, the thought hardly registering through the haze of emotions in her brain that certainly shouldn't have been there

They moved towards each-other, slowly, slowly...

Suddenly, Elle was drenched in water. She gasped in shock, then disbelief as she realised what Will had done.

He'd filled a glass of water behind her back while distracting her, and tipped it down the back of her blouse.

They were standing there, gazing at one-another; Will in amusement, and Elle in incredulity when a cough at the door startled them apart

They jumped apart, startled and began making excuses for why they were so wet. In the doorway was a tall, burly man in soldier's uniform.

That's it people, you know the drill, just a little review and make me happy???

You know you love me..

Or not lol!
