"Zach!", Zaya kept banging on the door.

"Zaya, can't you wait? I'm almost done."

She let out an audible grunt and replied, "You've been in the bathroom for ages! Just telling you we only have one bathroom, and my bladder can't wait forever!"

I roll my eyes. "Fine, fine!" I took one last look in the mirror then hurried to get out of the door.

"Finally! I was wo- heeey, Brother,"  my dear little sister smirked, "what's the occasion?"

My cheeks heated up, "wha- what, I mean, no. There's no occasion."

"There's something going on. I'm not stupid. Not like you, at least," Zaya said, and that got her on my nerves.

"Is that an insult?", Why'd I even ask.

"Doesn't matter. I mean, come on. Gel? Fine. But scarf? Really?"

"It's a men's scarf, Zaya."

She snorted, "Take it off, gay bro."

She did not just- oh she did, "Excuse me? I am not a fu-"

"Gaaaay," she hurriedly closed the door.

Okay, I'll admit.

No, I'm not gay. Never was, never will.

I admit that I dressed up and spent a long time in the bathroom just like women do, because I figured that in the past seven years, I'd already be able to show how much I like her.

She's become prettier and desirable. Damn.

Her brown hair framed her small face, giving more emphasis to her beautiful green eyes. She gained curves and bumps in the right places, which when she wears fitted clothes, they would show perfectly.

But it wasn't only her looks that I loved, it was of the fact that she was the only girl (aside from Zaya) to really know me and with her was the feeling that I'd forever be happy.

So today, I am asking her out. I'm asking my Letty out.

For real.

Violet

Tears streamed down my face. Great. Another day to look like a wild horse again.

It came to me with so many feelings. Held against my hands, was the source of every emotion.

I shook my head, "No. This can't be."

Another tear dropped onto it.

"Mr. Darcy."

"Elizabeth."

This was the part when they saw each other again, and Elizabeth brought up the topic of leaving her.

But what she didn't know was that Darcy went to do something of nobility and bravery.

Ugh. I wish I had a Mr. Darcy. Or Mr. Darcy was mine. I don't know.

Ding!

Wow, a perfect time for my phone to ding. I closed Pride & Prejudice, then wiped my tear-stained face.

Luey: Watcha doing?

Thank goodness for saving me from drowning in my own tears.

I replied immediately.

Letty: Wishing I was with Mr. Darcy :(

Luey: Hahaha go out your house I wanna see your face

Letty: No @_@

Luey: I have Pringles

He does know me. Lol, duh he's your bestfriend.

I soon as the magic word appeared, I popped out of our house.

"Luey! This better be-"

I was interrupted with a bunch of roses in front of my face.

"Worth it." This is something new. Although where are my promised pringles?

As he handed me flowers, I saw his face. He probably took a lot of time, seeing his perfectly gelled hair.

"Letty, would you be my girlfriend?"

He looked more bedazzling. Seeing his blue eyes sparkl-

Wait.

"Letty, would you be my girlfriend?"

"Letty, would you be my girlfriend?"

"Letty, would you be my girlfriend?"

What?

"You're joking. Haha. There, I laughed," I said sarcastically, unsure whether to belive or not.

"Violet, I'm serious," he replied calmly, locking his eyes in mine.

Okay, he's not joking. He used my real name.

I thought about it. It is okay, I mean, why not? I've known him all my life, my parents like him. I like him.

So why not?

"No," was my answer.

His eyes grew larger, as pain flashed through them. He probably expected I was going to say 'Yes'. I smirked.

"Wh- why?"

I crossed my arms.

"I don't see where my promised Pringles are. And that's what I came here for, so I guess nah."

He scrambled through literally everywhere and found a can of Pringles. "What about now?"

He was so worried, that I could laugh myself out.

I smiled genuinely. "Of course I was just kidding. Yes!"

In a blink, all worry and sadness was gone in his expression. He put his arms around me in a warm embrace.

"Hey, World! Prepare for my girlfriend!", he shouted with all smiles and glee.

I love that feeling. Now, I'll be able to feel that everyday of my life.

"I guess Elizabeth has her Mr. Darcy now, huh?"

~•~

A/N:

Hey, Dear Reader! You probably be thinking, "Oh, it's so fast." or "She must be lazy to do it."

No, bro. Well, I moved it into fast forward motion because it's not the main oart of the story.

In fact, it's just a short background of the two of them.

Hope you liked it, though!
