Devastating Smile

Mr. Benett

"I mean I can't complain cause I did crash at your place for a couple days, but why are you here?" I squinted my eyes as I saw him making himself comfortable like it was his own house. He had cooked himself popcorn and helped himself to my fridge after I had let him in.

"You're my mate, I'm not leaving you alone," he stood up and faced me, "Speaking of which, would you... Like to go on some dates sometime? The whole mate thing kinda enlists me to act like a boyfriend," he smiled and scratched the back of his neck.

I was gonna say yes but why not make him worry for a split second, "Two things can decide whether I say yes or no." I told him trying to sound legit about what I was gonna say. He nodded and looked at me, waiting for me to continue, "How do you feel about," I paused for affect, "Fresh Prince and The Walking Dead?"

He smiled as he quoted another one of my favorite shows, or in this case movies, Pride and Prejudice, "Mr. Benett! How can you tease me so?" I busted out laughing at how he can nail Mrs. Benett's voice.

I fell on my butt from laughing at him, "Sin... since when... did you... watch Pride and Prejudice?" I practically wheezed between laughs. He rolled his eyes and ended up laughing with me.

By the time our laughs subsided all I wanted to do was watch the show that Cameron had so expertly quoted. "If you're going to endure the terrible task of being my boyfriend we're gonna have to watch Pride and Prejudice," I said to him as I walked to where I decided to keep my abundance of movies. He just shrugged and went to fix more popcorn.

When he got back I was ready to push play, once I did I plopped next to him on the couch, "You're more like a Mr. Bingley, you're nothing like any of those Benetts'," I whispered to him.

He turned to me, "What makes me different than Darcy?" His whisper held honest confusion.

"Darcy is a lot more introverted and prefers to stay within his own group, Bingley, or you, are more extroverted and willing to step into a crowd. Darcy comes off as snobbish and self-centered, even though he isn't, Bingley though, even with all his wealth is more prone to associating with others of different financial standing. Darcy's introverted side is what causes him to not associate with others but it still comes off as rude," I muttered eyes glued to the screen.

Cam just looked back to the screen with a satisfied 'humph'. I'll take that as an ok. The movie went on and I quoted some of favorite lines, like when Lizzy tells him off about being "barely tolerable" and when all the Benetts go to the Netherfeild estate and Ms. Bingley (the snob that she is) says, "... Are we to receive every Benett in the country?" I even got mad when Darcy is proposing to Lizzy in the rain, cause it all happened so wrong. By the end I was content with the happily ever after that falls upon the two.

"That's a satisfying end, the whole movie leading to the one kiss," I smiled as the credits rolled. It's one of the few movies that don't make me cry. Every movie makes me cry, but to me, that's how you know you're involved. I cried in Finding Dory for crying out loud!

Cameron cleaned up the popcorn as I pulled myself up, "It is kinda sweet," he said. If only Matt had heard him say that, it'd be a cold day in hell when he wouldn't have made fun of him for it. I quietly laughed until Cam turned around, bright red, "Don't you dare tell anyone I said that!" He hollered at me.

I smiled and made a zipping-my-lips motion. He looked a little relieved as he went back to the kitched. I smiled to myself black mail.

I really do love that movie. A big thank you to everyone reading!
