Caroline ( POV )
I thought ball parties were fun, I could enjoy but here I am bored out of my mind. My mother didn't want to join me, so here I am all alone in a room full of people.
People are dressed nicely and many asked about my dress, well that was the only good part of the evening till now.
" May I have a dance with you. " came a voice and as I turned. He was someone important I could tell that from his dress, a handsomely dressed man. " well, why not... Sure. " I told him. He respectfully took my hand and kissed on my back of my plam.
Together we started dancing on the next song. Must say he is a good dancer. " So, are you new here or? " I asked him. " yes, I have just shifted here with my family. My name is Edward Moonstar. " he said in a polite tone.
Wait, he is from the Moonstar family. Which is almost as rich as Darcy's. And he is the eldest son of the family, he has another brother called Asher Moonstar... Who is flourishing with his clothes material business.
People say he is 'god of clothes ' can recognise clothes even with closed eyes. And his elder brother is running the family business. Never knew I will be lucky enough to meet with him.
" Hope your enjoying the neighborhood. " I asked him. " well, I am still new here. My mother is having a blast though, she attended some Some Mrs Bingley's party, and cant stop talking about it. " he said, well I did join the party but well I don't remember everyone present there.
" what did she say? " I asked him. " oh! How good the party was, how beautifully the party was arranged, how beautiful her daughter was...exctra, exctra... " he said, well unintentionally I hit a jackpot. Thats how it feels like to a person with good luck.
" I am glad that she liked, and I am sure you're going to like it here too. " I told him. " Lets hope that happens... by the way, how rude of me not to ask... What's your name? " he asked me.
" I am Caroline Bingley. " I answered his question and his became wide open, like he decoded some complicated theory. " So its your family that hosted the party? " he asked and I nodded.
" small town huh... " I said to him and he nodded. " Indeed...but after meeting with you, I know my mom wasn't lying about you. " he said and well thats nice to know.
" well, thank you very much. I am sure you have seen beautiful women in the town " I told him. " None as beautiful as you. " he said and well he knows how to talk. " I see Mr Moonstar really knows how to talk. " I told and he gave a shy smile.
" well its my parents anniversary next monday, I really dont know with whom to talk or how to arrange anything. " he said and I can see my opportunity to shine.
" Than you're in the correct place, I have recently started a business of arranging events, I can help you with decoration and stuff. " I told him and he looked quite happy about it.
" That would be great. " he said and the song ended at that point. I took a little break from the dance floor. Edward followed me and we walked towards the balcony, its so beautiful to look at the town from here.
" If your serious about it than I need to sit with you or your family and discuss about the whole thing. " I told him. " Well, then tomorrow is Friday, if we can discuss about it than it would be great. " he said, since I am not that busy I think its okay.
" well, that works for me. See you tomorrow morning. " I told him. As I was talking with him I heard a little murmur in the room. People are going crazy over someone. But who it can be?
' so handsome guy ', ' I think he is very rich ', ' wonder if he is married ' were the comments. As I looked towards the door my heart stopped. I can't believe it.
Mr Hurts, my sister, brother is back with Mr Darcy. He came in my hometown with my family. And as always he is looking very handsome. But for some reasons his eyes are very cold, why is he angry?
I excused myself from Mr Moonstar and walked towards them. " sister.... Mr Hurts... You both are back. How was your tour? Was it good? " I asked hugging my sister. " It was lovely dear. " she said with a smile. I shook hand with Mr Hurts. My brother gave me a side hug..
I now turned towards Mr Darcy, I dont know what to say. I gave my hand to him and as per custom he kissed my hand and I could feel tingles in my skin.
" Its good to see you Miss Bingley. " said Mr Darcy. " Its good to see you too Mr Darcy. " I told him and he gave me a single nod.
" why you guys are still here... Go dance, the floor is all yours. " I told my sister. Mr Hurts went with my sister to dance. My brother excused himself saying that he is hungry. I know he is avoiding the dance floor.
And by Mr Darcy's look no one dared to ask him. And I know how much he hates dancing, so lets vex him a little.
" Mr Darcy, would you care for a dance with me? " I asked him. And to my surprise he didn't say no. So stepped in the dance floor. And I could feel that he was still mad about something.
" Any improvment in my brother Mr Darcy? " I asked him. " Still work, As a friend I am still working, while you're enjoying parties, dancing with handsome partner's. " he said and I dont know why but he sounds slaty.
" I am not enjoying, its part of the work that I have started. I will explain that to you later... But everything is part of my work . But first tell me...did you missed me Mr Darcy? " I asked him. He gave a little laugh.
" of course not, its embarrassing to miss someone who doesn't even remember you... " he said and of course like a stupid girl told him " But I missed you. "
His eyes were finally on me, his expression is no longer cold, its much warmer and he looks happy... dont know why. " well, in that case.. I missed you too carol. "
