Chapter 6

Will was the first to wake, he watched Lizzy sleeping so peacefully and was pinching himself, he was the luckiest man alive, and he hoped he would be able to do this for the rest of his life. He prayed she wouldn't wake and think this was all a terrible mistake. That really would break him. Gradually Lizzy started to stir and her eyes blinked a few times and then they were open. She looked into Wills eyes "It wasn't just a dream thank goodness" said Lizzy. Will released a breath he didn't realise he had been holding waiting for her to reject him as he deserved. A man like him didn't deserve to be so lucky. She looked into his eyes and said what she had been too scared to say last night. "I love you Will… with all my heart". His heart swelled with joy.

"I love you too Lizzy, so much, so deeply, so passionately". Lizzy held him tightly and kissed him so passionately, much more intensely than last night, as if she had been scared to let herself go completely, scared of being hurt. Will could not help but respond, she ignited a fire in him. They just couldn't get enough of each other and needed to show how passionately they really loved each other. The gentleman in Will tried to fight back but nothing was going to stop them. They soon had undressed each other tearing away any clothes that couldn't be removed quickly enough for them and soon they were exploring each other's bodies hungrily, until there love was consummated. They made love again and again until they were both exhausted then they just laid in each other's arms and drifted off to sleep together.

They both woke about 4am and made love again. They laid together staring at each other and caressing each other until Lizzys stomach started rumbling and they realised they hadn't eaten since they got together! "Come on we better get you some food or you will have no strength for anything". Will picked Lizzy up in his arms.

"I need to get washed before I go out there", Lizzy said

"Ok, I'll just be a few minutes". Will gently placed Lizzy back on the bed and went to the on-suite bathroom where their was the most enormous bath. Will found some bubble bath, poured a bath and then picked up Lizzy and gently placed her in the bath which he also got in and started washing her which led to more love making. Eventually they managed to get out to the kitchen and Will started cooking up some food. Georgie appeared grinning at her brother as she said good morning to her brother and Lizzy. Will started cooking for everyone as they appeared waiting for the clever comments from everyone due to Will and Lizzy's disappearance for a whole day and night but they were just really happy for them both. For the band it had clicked pretty quickly after Will and Lizzy got together that the song Will had written was about Lizzy and that it wasn't unrequited love anymore, thank goodness Will had been so miserable. Well he was grinning from ear to ear now. Steve was thinking that Will's next song was going to be rather more upbeat than the last!

"Do you fancy another drum lesson after breakfast Lizzy, if you have the energy!" said Steve teasingly. Lizzys cheeks went a bit red and she looked to Will and smiled, he smiled back to her.

"Yes that would be great Steve" Lizzy said with a straight face. Lizzy gave Will a passionate kiss in front of everyone and wandered off to the practice room with Steve. Will watched them go looking like a lost puppy. "She is the most incredible woman in the world" declared Will.

"Wow, Will in love, who would have believed it" Dave said teasingly.

"Yep who would have thought, I'm head over heels in love with that woman" Will exclaimed "I am the luckiest man alive that she loves me too".

"I think I am going to puke more than I did when Charlie and Jane got together, you are even worse!" teased Dave "I'm really happy for you mate, it's good to see Lizzy put you in your place and that you love her for it!"

"I am so happy for you both" gushed Jane "I always hoped Lizzy would find someone she truly loves and I believe she has found that with you Will Darcy".

"Yeah I've always wanted a sister" shouted Georgie excitedly.

"Hush Georgie, I don't want to scare her off, she already knows I'm really serious about her and I'm still praying she won't run off screaming" whispered Will.

"Wow the cocky, confident Will Darcy not so sure about yourself now you have really changed" said Dave.

"Yes I have changed for the better thanks to Lizzy, I really was a complete arse before" said Will.

"You did have your moments but we let you off since you are such a brilliant guitarist" laughed Dave and Will grinned at him and punched him in the arm.

Meanwhile Lizzy was having her drum lesson with Steve "so you and Will huh!" he said grinning.

"Yes at last, so it seems to everyone else. First I hated him and he liked me, then he hated me and I started to like him and then I hated him again and then I fell in love with him when I thought he hated me. Pretty messed up really!" said Lizzy.

"I'm so glad we played his song that seemed to be the trigger that got you two together and he really didn't want us to play it. Bet he is glad we did now! It is such an amazing song once we heard it we couldn't help ourselves".

"Yes it's amazing what music can do I guess that's why I love it so much, anyway come on drum teacher did you just get me in here to get the gossip? Teach me some drumming!" said Lizzy.

"I doubt I will have much chance to get you to myself from now on. I bet it's going to be difficult to get you away from Will for one minute now!" said Steve.

Lizzy laughed and smiled just thinking about being in Wills arms, "Lizzy are you with me?" said Steve waving his hand in front of her face.

"Umm yes sorry, got distracted" said Lizzy dreamily. "Teach me some of your bands stuff".

"I don't know I might be out of a job if I teach you too much of our stuff, I know which one of us our lead guitarist would prefer!" said Steve.

"Ha, ha you are so funny, I don't think I could ever be as good as you Steve, you are the most incredible drummer I have ever heard" said Lizzy.

"Okay I will teach you a few things just because you are being so flattering. Maybe you could come up and do one song and I can have a beer break".

They played around for an hour or so and Lizzy then went off to find Jane, she had hardly spoken to her since her and Will had got together and she wanted to see if Jane needed any help with wedding plans. "Hi sis" said Lizzy and gave Jane a big hug when she found her in the room she shared with Charlie.

"Hey Lizzy… so he was still in love with you all along" said Jane getting straight to the point.

"Yes and I am most definitely in love with him. I cannot believe that I hated him at one time when I know now what a wonderful man he is. I'm so happy you persuaded me to come to Oz. Who would have thought how much my life would change in a few short days. Anyway I came to see if you needed help with the wedding plans I'm sorry I have been a bit distracted" said Lizzy.

"Everything is in hand and I am really happy you have been distracted and Charlie is ecstatic for you both. Will has been downcast for so long, we only just worked out that it was since the after gig party where you left early that Will had been so unhappy since. Will wouldn't tell Charlie what was wrong, it was only when he played your song to the band things started to click into place and Charlie had a feeling that it was you Will was mopping about but he wouldn't say anything to anyone not even me because he didn't know for sure, but it all makes sense now. They have their gig tonight and one tomorrow night, the guys are going to try on their suits in a minute, the hire company are bringing them here and we got the rings and chose flowers yesterday. Charlie has just gone to give the rings to Will to look after".

Charlie knocked on Wills door "Hi Will, grinned Charlie, I have something precious for you to look after. Charlie showed Will the rings.

"They are perfect" Will exclaimed.

"A few days ago you would have just huffed and put them safe in a drawer" said Charlie.

"A few days ago I thought I was in unrequited love…" grinned Will. " Life is looking a lot rosier now and if Lizzy can put up with me I'm hoping you will have to get used to this new happier me!"

"Well it will certainly make interviews a bit easier if you are a bit cheerer!" teased Charlie.

"Come here Will" and Charlie gave Will a big man hug "thank goodness for the Bennett girls coming into our lives" exclaimed Charlie. Will just grinned back at Charlie.

"Right we need to try on some suits", said Charlie changing the subject as they were getting a bit soppy.

The guys tried on their suits and made the adjustments that were needed, the guys were all in black suits with black shirts with cufflinks of the instrument they played (Jane's idea) and microphones for Dave. They all had dark red ties to match the bridesmaid dresses. They looked so handsome in their suits, very different to their normal scruffy band gear. Lizzy and Jane joined them in the front room to check if they looked suitable for the wedding. Lizzys heart pounded when she saw Will all dressed up, he strode across the room to Lizzy and held onto her hands giving her a crooked smile "Will I do, Lizzy?" he asked.

"Yeah you'll do" said Lizzy grinning and thinking how handsome he looked. They gazed into each other's eyes and the rest of the room was forgotten.

"Will, Will it's time to get changed now" said Charlie. Will snapped out of it eventually and joined the room again.

The next few days went by in a flash. The media had observed that the moody Will Darcy lead guitarist was not so morose anymore and they suspected that it had something to do with a mystery woman he had been sighted with.

The band had their last gig and Will and Lizzy had some time alone together to get used to their budding relationship. They played together as Lizzy got the courage up to show Will the drumming she had learned from Steve and Will agreed with Steve that Lizzy was good enough to play with the band and Will was a perfectionist so this was a major complement. They also played some guitar together and Will begged Lizzy to sing for him. She really was shy about this as she didn't think she was good enough but Will thought she had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard.

Soon Jane and Charlie's wedding day arrived. Jane looked stunning and Charlie was grinning from ear to ear watching his beautiful bride gliding down the aisle. But Will hardly noticed as all he could see was Lizzy walking behind her in her gorgeous dark red strapless dress and her long brown hair curled loosely, and draped around her shoulders with matching flowers in her hair. The ceremony was beautiful and elegant, just like Jane. Amazingly the wedding was completely private from the press as the bands PR people had managed to make the general public believe that the band had flown back to the UK already since the Aussie leg of the tour was over. They had a meal on the beach a classic Aussie barbie and danced the night away to a local band that were friends with the guys (they actually supported them on the Aussie leg of the tour) and they knew they could trust them to keep quiet. Jane threw the bouquet and it landed in Lizzy's arms and all eyes went to Will. It was the first time Will and Lizzy had a chance to dance together as Will had never danced at the club so Lizzy didn't even know he could dance but she had no worries as he held her close, he was an amazing dancer. Jane and Charlie were going off to a hotel by the Great Barrier Reef to go diving for a few days to have some honeymoon time after the wedding. The others had decided to stay on in Oz until Jane and Charlie came back.

The band and the girls had decided to go snorkelling and then they were going to try some surfing, so the next few days were pretty action packed. Lizzy and Will also went out hiking in the rain forest as they had discovered they both had a passion for the out of doors.

Far too soon it was time for them to leave Oz. The band had commitments in London, interviews and a wedding party to organise. Lizzy had to get back to her research although she wasn't as keen to get back to work as she usually would be. It was going to be difficult being away from Will now they had realised what they had together. They both had busy lives doing things they loved, they just had to make sure they had enough quality time together as well.

As they reached the arrivals gates at Heathrow they were blinded by the flash of camera lights from the British press. They had somehow found out that the band would be coming back from Oz that morning. The PR people had managed to keep the press at bay for a while but they were going to find out in the end. Of course the press were very excited to see the band arrive with the Bennett girls. Plenty of gossip for their papers especially since Jane and Charlie were wearing wedding rings. Luckily Jane and Charlie had already told their families before they flew back using the wonders of Skype. At least they wouldn't hear the news from the papers first! It was very possible Mrs Bennett let the news out to the world herself. It would be very difficult for her not to mention that her eldest and most beautiful daughter was married to a rich rock star.

Will had started scowling again, the last thing he wanted was Lizzy exposed to all this nonsense. The party managed to escape to a car that had been hired for them and soon they were back in the privacy of Charlie and now Jane's home.

Jane had decided that it wasn't a long commute to the zoo from Charlie's although she kept her flat just in case she had to stay really late to look after a sick animal.

They were all going to stay at Charlie's to recover before they headed back home and Lizzy to Cambridge. Charlie showed Lizzy and Will to one of the many guest rooms and told them to treat the room as their home from home now and that whenever they were there leave anything they liked there it would be there own private space.

"Thanks Charlie that's really thoughtful of you" said Lizzy as she gave him a hug.

"Well you are family now Lizzy and Will has always been always been like a brother to me since the day we met" said Charlie looking affectionately at his friend.

"You will have to tell me the story of how you met sometime but I think I really need some sleep now" said Lizzy.

"I will, it will make you laugh Lizzy as you can imagine, where Will is concerned it wasn't straight forward!" said Charlie.

"Well I Will look forward to hearing all about it later" said Lizzy.

"And don't let Will tell you because I don't think he will tell it properly" said Charlie.

"Hey I would" said Will.

"Night, night" said Charlie and he shut the door behind him.

"Well I better get some sleep so I can hear this story from Charlie" laughed Lizzy.

"Lizzy….." Will looked serious for a moment, Lizzy was worried that Will didn't want her to hear Charlie's story.

"Are you okay Lizzy? After our experience at the airport with the press" said Will gently holding onto Lizzy's arms and searching for answers in her eyes.

"Yes, it was a bit daunting, but I guess I will have to get used to it since I'm hanging around with a bunch of rock stars now" laughed Lizzy.

"I'm just worried that they will try and pry into your life since they have seen you with me" said Will.

"Well they will soon find out that I'm not very interesting and soon leave me alone!" said Lizzy.

"Now I know that's not true, you are the most interesting, exciting person I have ever met" said Will.

"Did you hit your head earlier trying to avoid the press? You are saying crazy things" said Lizzy

"Oh Lizzy will you ever understand how incredible you are? said Will.

"You daft man, you are the incredible one, I'm just an ordinary girl from Longbourne, you are a rock prodigy"

"And you are a scientific genius, much more worthwhile and vital to the world" said Will.

"You make people feel alive with your mind-blowing musical talent" retorted Lizzy.

"This is getting us nowhere we seem to think very little of ourselves and a great deal about each other" said Will.

"Well I guess it's better than us thinking a lot of ourselves and very little about each other, I cannot believe I thought than you thought more of yourself than anyone else when I met you" said Lizzy. "Anyway I really need some sleep now".

They snuggled up together and drifted off pretty quickly.

That evening the gang all grouped together again in Charlie's sitting room, lounging about drinking beer. Lizzy had seated herself by Charlie "Come on then, tell us the story then Charlie" said Lizzy nudging Charlie with her elbow.

"Well it was in my first week at Cambridge and I was at a party in my college. The party was getting quite wild and I was about to leave as it wasn't really my scene but then I saw this guy sitting in the corner quietly playing around with an acoustic guitar, he seemed obvious to the chaos around him. I was mesmerised watching the way he played from across the room, I couldn't even hear what he was playing or if he was any good or not. I was so engrossed in his playing I didn't notice this tall, long haired, ruggedly good looking long haired guy walking up to me" Charlie grinned at Steve when he said this. "He was holding a bottle of whiskey and a couple of glasses and he asked me if I wanted a drink and I asked him if he knew who the guy playing the acoustic Strat. in the corner. He told me that his name was Will Darcy and that if I could hear him over the din that was playing that I would be blown away. He told me that he was Wills room mate so was lucky enough to hear him first hand. He's told me that Will was pretty quiet, kept himself to himself but that he was cool. The guy then introduced himself as Steve (as you probably guessed by now) and I apologised for not introducing myself before but I had been so mesmerised by Will. Steve admitted that Will seemed to do that, particular to musicians and he asked me if I played an instrument as he handed me a glass of the whiskey. I explained I was a bassist and that I had been playing a few years and had been in a couple of bands at college and I asked him he played anything although I should have known he was a drummer by the way he tapped his whiskey glass as he was speaking to me. I told him my mate John from college was also a drummer was always tapping the steering wheel of his car or beating out a rhythm on his leg. He admitted it was almost instinctive. Steve had figured that I was a musician since I had been drawn to Wills playing. We then got chatting about bands we had been in at college and the type of music we liked and we realised we had pretty similar tastes and some exciting new ideas for original music and soon the bottle of whiskey had been drained. At that point Will wandered over to where we were chatting (he told me later that he was curious to see who his room mate was having such an intense conversation with as he was usually too busy chasing after women)".

"See nothing changes Steve," Dave mocked.

"Anyway he didn't come empty handed as he must have seen we had run out of whiskey and he had brought over another bottle. Steve made introductions and soon realised that they might have a possible new project evolving. We arranged to meet up to jam together to see if we would sound good together when we were sober. Will and I discovered we were both studying Law and that Steve was reading history (or not reading history most of the time, mainly studying all night parties and women)" said Charlie.

"Okay, okay so I haven't changed at all really, but I was pretty good on this tour so far… and I have already told Lizzy I barely scraped my degree due to my crazy lifestyle" admitted Steve.

"And it doesn't stop him from being a wicked drummer" said Dave.

"I cannot disagree with that, anyway you are distracting me from the story. A few bottles of whiskey later we were really enjoying ourselves and I was really glad I haven't left the party and met these cool guys. The problem with having a few drinks of whiskey you can sometimes have crazy ideas you wouldn't normally have if you were sober. It didn't help that Steve produced some cigarettes that didn't really taste like normal cigarettes" said Charlie.

"Ah Charlie you were so sweet and innocent in the ways of the world" laughed Steve.

"We decided to leave the party and were wandering around the halls and we passed the music rooms and had the crazy idea to break in, acquire our instruments of choice and start jamming. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, there was electricity in the air, we just clicked, I had never felt this way when I played with the guys at college but at this time I didn't know if it was the drink and the dodgy substances I had been smoking that were making me feel this way.

"Steve and I felt the same way about that jam as Charlie did, it was out of this world, it was as if we were meant to meet this night to create this amazing sound" said Will

"We were completely off our faces but decided we wanted more drink and walked out of the music room straight into a security guard. We had to run and ended up jumping out of a first floor window to escape the guy. I managed to twist my ankle but managed to keep running and Will was bleeding down one arm. Steve managed to remain unscathed somehow" said Charlie.

"Probably cause I'd had plenty of practice doing crazy things like that unlike you guys" said Steve.

"We ended up at the river and laid down by the water, we couldn't stop laughing. I told them I had never done anything like that in my life and I told the guys that they were a bad influence on me" said Charlie

"Oh yes and I remember I said to you that we were just getting started! And wait until we were rich and famous rock stars" said Steve

"I thought you were having a laugh but it seems like you had a bit more insight into our futures than we did" said Charlie

"Well that was the first night we met, we somehow managed to get away with our crimes as the security guard didn't get a good look at any of us. We met up the next night sober (well Steve relatively so, in those days there were not many moments in those days when Steve wasn't drinking or taking other substances) and discovered that the magic from the night before was not just due to our alcoholic state. Wills playing was truly incredible and we made an amazing team. All we needed was a singer now" said Charlie

"So that's how I met Will and Steve" said Charlie.

"Wow so how did you find Dave and where did George Wickham fit in?, it sounded like you were impressed with Wills playing and you got on with him well" questioned Lizzy.

"We met Dave a couple of weeks later at our first open mike night. Will could sing as well so we could actually function as a band but he wasn't keen on being the front man which the singer usually is" said Charlie.

"You can sing as well, I'd love to hear you…" said Lizzy even more impressed with her new boyfriend.

"I'm not a great singer I can just about keep a tune" said Will.

"He's really good Lizzy, don't listen to him" said Steve.

"Its lucky he doesn't think so cause I might have never been in the band" said Dave.

"Dave was singing on his own at the open mike night and me and the guys were totally impressed with his unique voice and his confidence on stage. Dave actually approached us after his set to tell us how impressed he had been with us and how he loved our sound. We bought him drinks, got talking and by the end of the evening we had a singer and our band was complete" said Charlie.

"The nightmare with George Wickham only occurred because we were young and native. At that time we had been getting a good name for ourselves around Cambridge, playing in most of the pubs and colleges and even getting a gig at the corn exchange. A friend of ours thought we should get a manager and he recommended someone he knew. This guy was impressed with us but he thought that Will was too moody and mean as a guitarist and didn't like it that Will wouldn't gig more than they were because he was serious about his studies. He thought that the band needed someone a bit more cheery and charming that the fans could fall in love with. We all thought this was rubbish as Will was an amazing guitarist it didn't matter if he was cheery or not. To humour the guy we auditioned some people but we knew no one could impress us more than Will and by then we loved him, even though he could be a moody so and so sometimes. This is when George Wickham turned up and tried to mess up Wills playing. I don't know why he bothered as he was a terrible guitarist there was no way we would have chosen him even if we didn't have Will. We dropped that manager soon after that and decided to manage ourselves until we could find someone more suitable.

After one of our concerts at the corn exchange we got signed. A student at the uni called Brad who was a big fan of ours and came to all of our gigs had been raving to his dad about our band. It turned out his dad worked for Warner Bros. records in the US and had worked with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Brad brought his dad to the gig and the next thing we knew we were signed to his record label with a five album deal. Brad followed his dad into the music industry and he is now our manager and one of the best in the business. It was crazy, we had only graduated from Cambridge a couple of years back and me and Will were practicing law in London. We thought we would take a break from the law and see how the band went but we still have the law to fall back on as fame doesn't last forever" said Charlie.

"Wow what an amazing journey. Just think if Charlie had decided to leave that party you might not be where you are now" said Lizzy.

"And if Will hadn't been playing guitar I might not have got talking to Charlie. It was Charlie's interest in Wills playing that drew me to him when I would have usually been looking for a woman to chat up, although I did think maybe Charlie fancied Will the way he was staring at him!" laughed Steve. Charlie threw a cushion at Steve.

"Well I really don't want to leave but I must get back to my research, I have had such a wonderful life changing time with you guys" she said gazing at Will lovingly.

Lizzy hugged and kissed the guys and Jane, and Will drove her back to Cambridge. He was going to stay over with her at her place in Cambridge. Will loved going back to Cambridge, it brought back all the crazy memories he had with the guys. How he managed to pack in all that craziness and still obtain a first from Cambridge was beyond him. He hadn't slept very much that was for sure. He would show Lizzy the places in Charlie's stories when he got the chance. Will regretfully had to depart in the morning and leave Lizzy to her work but he would see her next at Jane and Charlie's wedding party which was being held in a grand house in the countryside just outside of Longbourne town.
