What if I could be Mrs Darcy?

"No" I said in a voice even Rachel Green would be proud of me

"I know!" answered Charlie following my lead

"I thought he was going out with Eleanor" stepped in Alec

"Maybe they were on a break"

"Okay you guys are taking it too far" I said looking at Bob

After the match the gossipers had decided to make a small meeting at our pizzeria. What I didn't know was that it involved me

"Someone made out with Will last night Liz and he has a girlfriend"

"I know, it's incredible" I said trying to act surprised "Who would do that?"

"It was you wasn't it?" asked Charlie non-surprised at all

"What?" I couldn't help that high pitch tone that gave me away "I wouldn't do that"

They all looked at me nodding

"I mean it would be so weird"

They all rolled their eyes

"Fine yes. But it was like nothing, and we were both kind of affected. It didn't go anywhere beyond that"

They looked at me with disbelieve

"I swear. And you know that I take swearing very seriously"

"We believe you. It's just that" started Charlie

"Why?" finished Alec for her

I took a small glance at Bob who was also thinking How cute they finish each other sentences

"Start from the beginning"

"Uhh are you guys ready to order yet or are you going to continue gossiping like some old ladies?"

We all looked at the waiter. It was Phil from our class, he worked at the pizzeria and already knew that it was our roundup place

"Yes, we DO know what we are going to order" said Alec "One pepperoni and barbacue. Everything normal and two colas a beer and a water"

We all looked impressed at Alec as Phil took note and went away

"How do you do that?"

"I saw you all looking at the pictures when we came in. It's not that hard to figure out. Charlie and Bob cola, me beer, Liz never drinks alcohol from places" he took some breath and finished "Seriously, it's not that hard, you just have to think"

"All right Sherlock, no wonder you find out everything. My god you can't even have cravings without someone analysing you" said Bob trying to hide her admiration

"So back to the story"

Everyone looked at me expectantly and I began my tale

"Wait what he was sad too?" interrupted Charlie confused "About what?"

"I may have the answer for that" said Bob "I feel kind of guilty for not telling sooner but they broke up"

"What?"

"Who?"

"Are you serious?"

"Oh my god and I felt bad about it?"

"Oh so now you would have fucked him in the car?" stepped in Charlie

"Not that, but maybe do some stuff" I rolled my eyes at their shocked faces "You weren't there, it was getting very hot there"

"I'm just going to act like I didn't hear anything. He's your ex. He left you for another girl. And he did it just a day after you slept with him" they all nodded their heads siding with Charlie "It's fine that you forgive him, but don't you dare give him more of the good stuff. He doesn't deserve it, or you"
