Chapter 18
That night it was decided that Liz was going to stay home from school the next day.
"Ah Daddy! I really want to go to school tomorrow." Liz said thinking that tomorrow would be the first day that William and her would be boyfriend and girlfriend at school.
"No my dearest one the doctor said no school." Thomas said firmly looking at his stubborn angel.
"Ok fine! Have it your way. I wasn't going to win anyway right?"
"Right. Tell you what, why don't you call William and see if he could spend the day with you?" Thomas said smiling at her.
"Ok I think that I will, thanks Daddy." Liz said kissing his cheek.
"Hello?"
"Hi Georgie, what's up?"
"Hi Liz not much. Are you ok? William told me what happen."
"Yeah I'm fine. Hey could I please talk to my boyfriend?"
"You have a boyfriend that lives here and I didn't know."
"GEORGIE!" Liz growled at her.
"Just kidding, he told me that too. Hang on a sec." Georgie said laughing. "Will! Your girlfriends on the phone."
"Thanks got it. Hi Liz!" William said smiling into the phone.
"Hi sweetie."
"What's up?"
"Um you know that I have to stay home from school tomorrow."
"Yeah I remember Dr. Martin saying that." William said sadly. Thinking his first day without his girlfriend around.
"Well would you mind staying with me? Pretty please!" Liz said.
"Will your parents allow mind?" William asked, secretly pleased at spending the whole day with Liz.
"Actually it was Daddy's idea." Liz said laughing.
"Ok let me ask my parents, hang on a sec." There was a short pause then, "Ok, they said it was fine."
"Ok. I will c-ya tomorrow ok?"
"Ok night hon."
"Night William," Liz said blowing a kiss and hanging up.
"Why is William coming here tomorrow?"
"Because Kat I gotta stay home and Dad said it was ok that William stays here."
"Ok whatever."
"Hi William. How are you this morning?"
"Fine Mr. Bennet. Where's Liz?" William said shaking hands with him.
"She's in my den watch TV, waiting for you."
"Ok thanks, I brought some movies with me that we could watch."
"Ok I'll c-ya guys, when I get home. Have a great day."
"We will have a good day Mr. Bennet"
"Hi hon." Liz said getting up and kissing him hello.
"Hi Liz. So what do you want to watch."
"Oh cool! You brought "Mansfield Park", the new one. I haven't seen that one yet." Liz exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah I thought that you would like it." William said sitting on the couch with her.
"Yes I would love to watch it. Shall we?" Liz said smiling at him.
"Ok"
And that is how they spent the rest of the afternoon, at least till 4, watching movies. When 4 o'clock came William had to go.
"Hon, I gotta go to practice, the season starts next week."
"Yeah I know, wait and I will go with you."
"The doctor said no cheering." William said glaring at his girlfriend.
"I know. But he didn't say that I couldn't go and watch my boyfriend play football now did he?" Liz said smirking at him.
"No I guess not, let's go." William said rolling his eyes at Liz's smug face.
"Ok. Let me leave a note for my dad. Ok lets go."
"Hi Liz. How are you?"
"I'm great Sherry, a little sore still but ok. How are you doing?"
"That's good and I'm ok. So how are you and Will doing?"
"We are great. So what is Carol doing?" Liz said motioning to Carol trying to tell the girls what to do.
"Oh she thinks that since you are hurt she's head cheerleader and well its not going well." Sherry said smirking and laughing.
"Ha Ha! Miss I would be the perfect head cheerleader can't lead the squad can she?" Liz said with a hint of smugness in her voice.
"NOPE! And me and the rest of the squad can't wait till you get back." Sherry said smiling at her best friend. The rest of the day went smoothly and soon enough the first game and homecoming came.
Chapter 19
The game was great. Will was excellent as usual, the star of the team and everything. Liz was so proud of her boyfriend. The Jaguars creamed the Netherfield Cobras 28-0. A perfect homecoming game. At half time the homecoming court was announced. Of course, all the Bennet girls, except for Mary, were announced. Liz and Carol were nominated for queen and Will and George for king.
"Now the King and Queen will be announced at the ball. So good luck to you all and see you all tomorrow night."
"I can't wait! I know that you are going to win, Liz."
"I don't know Sherry. It would be nice for both of us to win, but I am going with William and that's all that matters to me."
William arrived promptly at 7 to pick up Liz. He, Liz, Georgie and Rick were all going together.
"WOW! You look great Elizabeth." William said when he saw her. Liz was wearing a princess style cream dress, with her hair all done up in Regency fashion. She had little ringlets hanging down her back, truly a romantic look to her.
"Thank you. And you look very handsome William." Liz said blushing.
"Indeed you two look wonderful."
"Thanks Mr. Bennet. Well Ms. Bennet shall we, your carriage awaits." William said offering his arm to her.
"Yes Mr. Darcy, I would love to." Liz said accepting his arm and after a few pictures and a quick kiss on her father's cheek, they were on their way.
"I gotta admit Lizzy that dress is perfect."
"I know Georgie and I love yours." Liz said. Georgie was wearing the same dress, as Liz's except is a soft shade of pink. It brought out the blue of her eyes and with her hair styled the same as Liz's they looked like sisters.
"Yeah cuz you look wonderful." Rick said smiling at his cousin. Georgie was too shy to accept anyone and being the new girl, she gratefully accepted her cousins offer to escort her.
When they arrived William and Liz instantly started to dance. While they were Liz noticed that George and Carol were also dancing together.
"That's odd."
"What my dear." William said looking at her.
"George and Carol are dancing together. Maybe they were responsible for my accident."
"I wouldn't put it past them, they both hate us together. Nothing would please them more than to see us apart."
"Yeah I know. But I don't care, tonight is our night and all I want to do is stay where I am." Liz said placing her head on William's chest.
"Me too honey, me too."
The evening was going great, except for Liz had to keep dodging Billy every time. Thankfully William never left her side. Finally the time came to announce the King and Queen.
"And this years Homecoming King is none other than our star quarterback Will Darcy!" A big applause went up for the football hero. And a few wolf calls from his fellow players.
"And Meryton's high Homecoming Queen is...Carol Bingley."
Chapter 20
A lot of hisses and surprise outburst followed until they heard.
"Oh no! My mistake, I am sorry Ms. Bingley is the runner up. Our Homecoming Queen is our head cheerleader Ms Elizabeth Bennet." A sigh of relief went up then a big applause with a few catcalls was made. "Now let's let the King and his fair Queen have their first dance.
Every time our eyes meet
This feelin' inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby, when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreamsI don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps gettin' better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side for ever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
"That was too close my love," William whispered in her ear.
"I know. Wait what did you say?" Liz asked not sure if she heard him correctly.
"I know that people say that we are too young to realize what I feel for you. But they are wrong, I know what I feel and that is that I love you Elizabeth Bennet. I have for a long time now." William said kissing her lightly.
"I love you too William Darcy." Liz said smiling at him and brings her lips to his again.
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby, you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Though it feels like the first time, every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyesI don't know how you do what you do
I"m so in love with you
It just keeps gettin' better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side for ever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by youI don't know how you do what you do
(Every little thing that you do)
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps gettin' better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side for ever and ever
Every little thing that you do
(Oh, every little thing that you do)
Baby, I'm amazed by you *
And that is how the stayed the rest of the night, safe and content in each other's arms.

The End.
