Hello all,

Sorry it's been such a while since I updated this, have had personal issues going on and Uni this year was extremely busy (had 11 weeks of teaching prac!) and now have finished Uni for the year and graduate mid-year next year!

There is an important question at the end of this chapter which I'd like your opinion on, so please let me know in a PM or review :)

Now, on with the story…

P.S. Thank you 'River in Egypt' for editing this for me. 3

Chapter Three: Messages

"Oh, Darcy, come look at this gorgeous angel I just found!" exclaimed Charles as he screened through his potential matches after registering his account.

"Really, Bingley, that's the fifth time I've heard you use the word 'angel' in the last fifteen minutes…" sighed Darcy as he took yet another sip of his scotch.

"But, Darcy, I think I've really found 'the one' this time. Look, come and view her profile," insisted Bingley as he turned his laptop around so Darcy could view said profile.

'Hi, my name is Jane and I am seeking someone who is kind, compassionate, reliable and able to make me laugh. If you think you have those qualities, please don't hesitate to send me a message.'

"Isn't her profile picture just divine as well? Look at her smile! I think I'll send her a message, what do you think, Darcy? Isn't she just perfect?" asked Charles with a dopey smile on his face.

"Well, I must agree with you that she has a very charming smile, however, it looks too large for her face. But do whatever you want, Charles, I'm not going to stop you from ingratiating yourself into this cursed online dating world," replied Darcy as he sat back down from looking at the laptop screen.

"Oh, liven up, old chap, you're only twenty nine and already sound like a miserable old grandpa, you've got to live a little. There is more to life than work, you know…" stated Charles as he began to type up his message to Jane.

"If only it were that easy…" muttered Darcy as he finished his scotch and left the room.

O.o.O

*Bing* went Jane's email as she opened it up on the Saturday morning, whilst Lizzy and Charlotte were scoffing down the bacon and eggs.

Puzzled because she didn't know the sender, she hesitantly clicked on it. After opening it, she realised it was from the 'Pemberley Ever After' dating site her mother had set her up on.

After scanning the short message and clicking on his profile she let out a loud chuckle, causing Lizzy look at it over her shoulder.

"Oh. My. Gosh! Wow, is he serious? Just look at his tag line!" cried Lizzy as she finished reading the message and looking at his profile.

"Read it out, Lizzy, I can't remember where I put my contacts and don't have my glasses with me," said Charlotte as she squinted at the screen, joining Lizzy as she tried to read it over Jane's shoulder as well.

"Well, he says:

Hi Jane,

My name is Charles Bingley, and when I found out that we matched, I couldn't help but stare at your beautiful smile. And, if you don't mind me asking, did it hurt? When you fell down from heaven because you must be some kind of angel.

So please, if you are free I would love nothing more than to meet you in person and get to know you.

Yours,

Charles Bingley." Finished Lizzy as she recited the message that Charles had sent to Jane.

"Well, Jane, he sure sounds eager don't you think? Are you going to give him a chance so you can further enchant him with your 'beautiful smile,'" sniggered Lizzy as she sat down on the leather blue couch.

"Oh hush, Lizzy, he's the first decent guy that has sent me a message, or don't you remember the ones from last night?" countered Jane as she went over to her computer to read out the other messages that both she and Lizzy had already been sent since their mother set up their accounts.

"Jane oh Jane oh Jane. You certainly aint some plain Jane. So why don't we skip the entrée and the main course and head straight to dessert where I lick your cream as I hear you scream. Since there's nothing more delightful than getting a sightful, of your porcelain skin glistening as my cream drips across your skin.

OR how about this one?

Hai Lizbet, wanna cum ova so we can watch Netflix and chill? ;)

OR

Hey you smoking lady, im Indian and we invented the karma sutra. Want to cum and dance with me between the sheets? My favourite position is the helicopter, how about you?

Oh, and don't forget this doozy of a message!

Hey Sugar,

You're so sweet, I could lick up day and night, coz hot damn you're so sexy you're about to make me rush like a champagne shower. And if that aint enough, well then you have the best bangs and boobs in town so let me come and bang on your knockers, and now that I think about it…did you buy chance grow up on a farm? Because you sure know how to raise a good cock, hen-ny :P ;)" narrated Jane as she finished reading just a few of the messages they had both received.

"Oh my word, they are atrocious! They must've only signed onto the website to see if they can just get lucky!" laughed Charlotte as Jane finished reading.

"Oh yes, that last one was a delight to read, and from our favourite man 'Ben Timover' that likes 'long walks on the beach where women only wear a thong'," remarked Lizzy dryly as she began to delete the messages on her phone.

"Hmm, I wonder if I'd be able to find my perfect man on the website as well. Knowing that your mum has more than likely blabbed to my mum I wouldn't be surprised that when I go home to visit she'll be hounding me about how successful the website is at matching people," stated Charlotte as she sat down next to Lizzy, peaking at the messages she was deleting.

"Well, God help us all when mother finds out that Jane is in a relationship with this Charles guy after they met on 'Pemberley Ever After,'"

"Well, I just sent him a reply, and hopefully, we'll be meeting sometime next week at the park," replied Jane with a smile on her flawless face.

O.o.O

So, thoughts on the chapter? What did you think of the message(s) that the girls had been sent already?

Also, I have an important question: Do you think I should make Jane an 'Early Childhood' school teacher? I know she has been given this role in quite a few fics and don't want to make it out that I'm copying others, but I can't see her in any other profession, since I see a lot of her in teachers that I've already met.

If you can think of an alternative that'd be great as well!
