What if I could be Mrs Darcy?

"So you're telling me you were right there and you didn't ask him?"

"It was not the time"

"You know what I can't even look at you right now"

"You're not looking at me I'm at the other side of the phone"

Not hearing anything in respond I whispered "Alec?"

"You can be a pain in the ass you know that?"

I rolled my eyes and ignored him "The thing is what do I do?"

"For once I have to side with Will, you should go for John"

"I don't... "

He cut in saying "Don't you dare say you don't know. If I have to stand you drooling over that guy you might as well do something"

"Elizabeth!" I heard my mother calling downstairs

"What?!" I shouted back

"Com and get that cat it's eating my flowers"

"Cats don't eat flowers mom he's just playing!"

"So your mom's home" said Alec over the phone

"Yeah sorry for the screams"

"Elizabeth Johnson you come down this instant!"

I sighed and crept lazily out of bed "We'll talk tomorrow Alec"

I ran downstairs and lifted Marmalade out of my mothers flowers

"Oh you see she was just playing" I said to my mother playfully "Next time you play in my spot" I said to Marmalade who had already clang to my pijamas

"Cat out of the way, goodnight mom" I smooched her cheek and went upstairs

I threw myself again on the bed and got Marmalade in my lap as she started to purr

The phone rang again and a smile came to my face as I saw JOHN BESTIE come up on the screen

"Hi"

"Hi Iz do you have plans for tomorrow after class?"

"Mmmm let me think" I paused for a moment to maintain the thrill, but I had nothing to do at all

My life is just that boring I guess

"Oh yes eat while I watch tv. Such important things in my life happen" I added sarcastically

"Then you don't have training?"

"It's later in the day"

"Great then count me in for lunch"

Before I had time to answer he said goodbye and hung up

Men are incomprensible sometimes

"Lizzy are you still up?" I heard my fathers voice from downstairs "Remember you have school tomorrow"

I rolled my eyes and run to say good night to him. I hardly got to see him, so I seized every opportunity to remind him I loved him no matter how much time he spent in the house

"I'm going to start getting jealous of that cat" he said laughing when he saw me carrying Marmalade still

He started petting her until my mother started coughing to get him out of the caring more for animals than his family trance

"Okay we are going now mom" I answered laughing at her annoyment

When I got to my room again I got my drawing folder from under the bed an a pencil

I got a new paper and started sketching

"Tomorrow we'll see what our mystery friend wants M" I said to the cat who was already sleeping filling the room with her purrs
