Chapter four: "Every step you take, I'll be watching you"

"Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you. -The Police"

"Where is your sister, Miss Bennet?" Caroline asked as she walked towards the couch.

"She was out for her usual walk" she paused "but, she promised to come. And she will"

Bingley smiled. "I am sure."

"Does she walk often?" Darcy asked

"Almost everyday. I think that it helps her think" Jane confessed

"I still remember her, coming here on foot." Miss Bingley laughed "She is a great walker, indeed"

"Yes, she is" Jane replied with civility.

"She has many virtues" Bingley said "Don't you think Darcy?"

"I suppose." he answered with his severe voice, acting indifferently.

"I am sure you agree with me" he paused just to look outside the window. "Should I order a carriage for your sister? It is raining, rather heavily I must say."

"I hope that she didn't decide to come here on foot again" Jane replied worried "Poor Lizzy"

As the rest of them were talking, Darcy stood next to the window and praised that she hadn't decide to extent her walk. She was going to be his death, that was sure. His heart was beating so quickly that he couldn't control it, he never felt more worried in his life. He looked one more time outside, when he saw a tiny object moving towards the house. But it was going too slow and the heavy rain, didnt help Darcy at all to figure it out. As the object was getting closer and closer, Darcy gathered all his senses on that thing.

Actually, it was not a thing. She was Elizabeth. He kept staring outside at her, almost in shock. She really was here, walking in the rain. Darcy called over Bingley to see her as well, but when he finally made it to the window, she was gone. There was nothing there, only the fog and rain. No, he couldn't have dreamt her. Elizabeth was walking, he was certain. But before Bingley could say anything else, he yelled for a footman and asked to prepare his horse. Bingley yelled from behind, to prevent him for going outside in that terrible weather, but Darcy was already gone.

"Are you alright?" Darcy asked as he got off his horse. But Elizabeth could hardly breathe. She was almost out of breathe, she was sitting in the fields in an unladylike way. She was crying. "Do not cry" he said and took her hand in his.

"I..my..."

"Elizabeth, please I beg you." He paused "Are you hurt?"

"My leg" she paused as she tried to calm herself "I tripped and..."

"Do you think you can make it?" He asked and lifted her up, so she could stand, but immediately she fell. Almost. Darcy didnt let her. He kept her close to him with his arms.

"I cannot walk"

Immediately, he lifted her up in his arms. He could barely feel his legs and she was the reason. He had many dreams of her, how it could feel to hold her tight, but none of them really felt that good as reality. She was so tempting, there in his arms, holding her tight, touching her body. All he had to do now, was to kiss her. There were only few inches apart, but no. No, he wanted to make it perfect. He wanted their first kiss to be perfect.

As he walked towards the house, with her in his arm he could feel her heartbeat. It was too fast. He had to calm her down "You are going to be fine" he whispered. But before she could response, she fainted.

When Elizabeth opened her eyes, she looked around her. She was not in her bedroom, she was somewhere she could not recognize. She closed again her eyes and she opened them only when she heard a noise, next to her, two hours later.

"Elizabeth..Elizabeth.." A sweet voice was heard next to her "please open your eyes"

"Jane?" Her voice was barely heard

"how are you, dear sister?" she asked and touched her hand

"Tired.." She paused "My leg...I cannot feel my leg"

"everything is going to be fine. The doctor said that you only sprained your ankle. You will be fine in a days" Jane hugged her sister

"What happened?" She asked worried

"Do you not remember?"

Elizabeth tried to think "ohh yes. Mr. Darcy found me"

"Yes, indeed. I thanked him for your behalf. I flow that you do not like him at all, but Lizzy, you must at least thank him"

"Jane, dear Jane, do not say that" she touched her sister's hand and dragged him closer to her "I do like him. I think I love him"

"In love with ? But I thought that you despised the man. Do be curious, Lizzy, how long have you loved him?"

"I hardly know, but I do Jane. Most passionately, but..." She paused "he's engaged."

"Engaged? To whom?"

"His cousin, Anne de Bourg" Jane touched her hand again "I had been such a fool, Jane. I should have accepted him the first time, he proposed."

"Did he proposed? Why did you refused him?"

"I had misjudged him. I wish I could take it back, but I cannot. It doesn't matter really, its over."

"Do not say that. If he loved you once, Im sure he is capable of doing it again. Maybe he is still in love with you."

Elizabeth laughed. It was the first time that Elizabeth had confided her affections in her sister. She could now feel relieved, she could take that burden off her. But before she could continue, the two sisters heard a knock on the door and couple of seconds later a man came in. And it was not just a man, it was Mr. Darcy. Immediately he bowed andElizabeth smiled politely. Jane excusing herself, she left them alone. She was sure that they had so many things to discuss.

"Mr. Darcy..I want to thank you for saving me today. You would have my eternal gratitude." she said and touched his hand.

Darcy shivered, he could feel the passion running through his spine. How much he loved her "You should not be obliged to such feelings. You know that I would do anything for you. "

"Yes, I know." she paused " ..I.."

He touched her hand "Do not say anything, you must rest now." he paused to kiss it "I will knock your door at night, if you feel anything, anything at all, let me in"

I want to thank everyone that has reviewed and followed my story. You dont know how much this means to me. Your opinions can make my day. So, I must thank you all. I love you! Tell me your thoughts about this chapter and what do you think is going to happen next? Do you think she is going to let him in or not? Hmm...I will wait for your reviews.
