Here we are again… I hope you'll like it!


…"Lizzy! This is my cousin, William Darcy!"…

"Hello! I'm Lizzy, well actually Elizabeth, but don't you dare call me that way!" She finished with a bright smile

"Ok, I won't! Promised… Well Lizzy, nice to meet you!" said Darcy with a playful voice.

"Lizzy, Jane, Marilyn this is Charles Bingley and his sister Caroline. Charles is Will's best friend. And well, you already know my beautiful Maggie." And with that Robbie finished the introductions.

"So, you're Jane… Am I right?!" asked Charles, who was quite taken by Jane's beauty.

"Yes, you're right. My whole name is Jane Lucy Bennett. You can call me Jane. But tell me what is your job Mr. Bingley ?"

"Well first of all Jane, call me Charles. I work for Will. I've heard from Maggie that your sister's a master in guessing people's problems and jobs, and because she needs to guess Will's job I won't say a word. What about you?" Charles found that Jane was astonishingly beautiful was a little bit afraid he'd say the wrong things, this far he had said the right things. Although he had the doubt that he had offended Jane with the remarks about his sister.

"Ahahhahahah. Yeah, there's a bet tonight. If Lizzy can't guess right Robbie will get a vacation at our lake house, but if Lizzy wins she'll get a vacation at Robbie's Colorado house." Jane's eyes were sparkling and Charles saw a million stars in her eyes, or so he thought, "About my job.. Well I'm a school teacher. I really love kids…"

And so Jane and Charles went on talking for the whole evening.


Caroline Bingley had been talking with Maggie, although she thought Mrs. Fitzwilliam was quite tiresome and out of fashion. The seating order was Lizzy-Will-Robbie-Maggie-Caroline-Charles-Jane-Marilyn. Marilyn was sitting next to Lizzy, but because all the topics were boring she started to read a book, she had taken with her.

"So Will, there's a bet. Lizzy has to guess your job. But you can't give her any kind of tips. Ok?"

"Well, ok! But what happens if Lizzy manages to guess right?" Will was quite interested in the bet also because he wanted to see what was the brunette beauty capable of.

"Well William, or Will. If I guess I will win a vacation at Robbie's Colorado house, otherwise he'll win a vacation at our lake house… What do you think?" asked Lizzy.

"I think it's a good bet. Their Colorado house is beautiful, I hope you'll win. But I want to make this thing harder for you Lizzy; you can't ask me a thing. You have to guess my job simply by looking at me. Is it ok or is it too hard for you?" Will was tonight quite extrovert, usually it'd take the whole night or a couple of nights to be that friendly with a stranger, but there was something about Lizzy that made it easy to be open.

"Oohh I really like this Will! You're good! So Lizzy you've still got the guts to go on?" asked Robbie, who was smirking.

"Oh Boys… I won't let you have that kind of satisfaction… It's totally fine for me… So... Let's start!" Lizzy had some kind of fire in her eyes, she had to win.

/ It's going to be to easy this time, this man is open like a book/ she thought.

Most of the table fell silent and were waiting for Lizzy to give her verdict.

The first thing Elizabeth did was looking straight into Will's eyes, her look was so intense that Will almost turned away, but he's so drawn into her eyes that he felt lost. The next thing the girl did was to take Darcy's hands and look at them, his hands weren't soft as hers, his touch was rough. She wasn't sure about the answer so she put his hand against her cheek, to feel better the hands. Yes! It was that! Of course…

As soon as she had taken his hands Will "woke up" and his heart started to beat. Her hands were so soft, he could smell her perfume: wild flowers! He felt an electric shock as soon as his hand touched her cheek.

/ Whooa, whooaa! Hold on. I'm Will Darcy! I'm strong, people don't affect me like this! Well, not usually. Who is this girl? Why does her touch seem like the touch of an angel? And electric shock?! Will Darcy!! Pull yourself together and control yourself!/

Lizzy was ready!

"Will Darcy! You're a pianist." Lizzy was smiling, she had won the vacation.

She was still smiling when Will told her: "I'm sorry Lizzy! But you didn't guess." Lizzy's mouth fell open "I'm not a pianist, although I play a lot. My hands are rough because I work with wood in a different way. I sell ancient and classic furniture. Sometimes I make the furniture."

"What? I don't believe you!" seeing the look on everybody else's face she continued" Oh my Gosh! This usually never happens! You seemed to be so readable… Well, Robbie you've earned your vacation at the lake house!" and with that she raised her glass to make a toast in honour of Robbie and Will.

"I'm sorry Lizzy! Although you were quite good, usually people think that because of my ancient and noble birth that I do nothing all day or that I hang out shopping, buying estates or playing cricket."

"Well, isn't that what you do all day?!" Lizzy asked playfully.

"Well, actually no! I sell beautiful furniture to people that don't appreciate the beauty of it. My sister is studying to be a proficient pianist."

"Whooa whooaa you sound so 1800. Why did they teach you in the private schools?! And tell me, what kind of music do you play?"

"It depends. But I like blues and jazz. Well that's what I usually play in the evenings, when I have the time… But hey what kind of .."Will was going to ask Lizzy something but in that moment Caroline interrupted him.

"Oh Will, do you remember Greg Lowes? Well, he has invited us to his party on Saturday. I'll let him know that we're going..." Caroline made a seductive smile, but unfortunately evrybody else thought it was quite ugly...

Will, who was still looking at Lizzy made a face, as to say / Oh my Gosh, I can't believe this woman... Always interfering.../

Lizzy saw Will's look and because he was a very nice guy, she wanted to help him. Turning to the red-haired woman she said:

"Sorry Carol, but Will already promised me to come to a friend's party.. So you'll have to go all by yourself Carol."

Caroline, who hated deeply to be called Carol, was quite angry at the remark the brunette had made, but seeing that Will was confirming, she just fell silent.

"Thank you very much Lizzy!" Will whispered, sending chills down Lizzy's back.

"You're welcome... Anytime you need help with that thing, just ask. It's actually quite fun to see that look on her face.." Lizzy said with a mischievous smile.

"Girl, you're so wicked..." Will laughed and winked to Lizzy.

The night continued, Lizzy and Will talked the whole night, deepening their newly-started friendship. Carol or Caroline tried many times to get Will's attention, but he was so into Lizzy that he didn't even notice her.

When it was time to leave, Will had managed to organise the thing so that his cousin Robbie and Maggie would walk away with Carol, while he and Charles walked home the Bennett girls. Marilyn wasn't interested about the two guys, so she just walked to the apartment, tonight she was going to sleep at her sisters' place.

Charles and Jane were sweet talking in the shadowy part of the street, while Lizzy and Will walked in the middle. All of them exchanged numbers and email addresses, promising to contact the other as soon as possible. With that the girls went inside and the guys left.

Jane was clearly already in love with Charles, while Lizzy knew she had liked the guy and decided they'd be friends, just friends.

But, somewhy she spent the whole night thinking and dreaming about Will Darcy!

While, on the other side of the city, in a beautiful aparment a british handsome man dreamt about a certain brunette.
