Chapter 4

They arrived to Sophie’s before they thought. There wasn’t anyone there yet, so Leonard’s aunt had the chance to introduce herself to his friends and tell them some embarrassing and funny stories about William and Leonard when they were children.
After a while all the guests arrived, the room was full of dancing and chatting people.
The two guys went take a drink, as Juliet and Elisabeth talked in a corner.
As they waited for their drinks, William turned to the girls and stared bewitched at Elisabeth.

Leonard: You’re going to consume her this way!
William: What?

He answered as his mind had been taken off his thoughts.
Leonard: You’ve been watching her all the night long, you should approach, talk to her or invite her to dance.
William: Don’t you believe she is the most beautiful woman you have ever seen?
Leonard: She’s really pretty, no doubt about that, mostly I believe someone is in love..
William: In love? No, you’re wrong, I .. well, maybe I could..
Leonard: Besides, dear friend of mine, the lady is beautiful by nature, but she has also resorted to make up, and when a woman does that it’s because she hopes someone will notice her. I know it’s not me, so it’s you the reason why she did it.
William: You’re wrong, I don’t think she cares. This morning she was talking with Juliet about a mysterious beloved guy. Maybe, she thinks she can meet him here.
Leonard: Yeah, and maybe I’m blind, deaf and mute . Don’t insult my intelligence, William, if you turn now you‘ll see she only has eyes for you.

William didn’t turn, it wouldn’t be kind.
Bloody politeness , sometimes he cursed his English origins.

Juliet: You’re amazing tonight, Elisabeth, it’s been a while since you had resorted to make up with such a care, maybe is someone with blue eyes involved?
Elisabeth: Juliet! You sound like my mother now! No dates, no fiancés, nothing of nothing, plus I have never said I fancy William.
Juliet: And I didn’t say I was talking about him.
Elisabeth: And you in this latest days are plotting behind my back, it’s not nice..
Juliet: Listen to me. First of all, I’m not plotting, I’m doing that just for you. Besides, it’s clearly visible that you fancy him, you haven’t take your eyes off him all the night long, and he did the same. There’s something between you, but you are too scared to figure it out. You can’t keep looking for a guy that doesn’t exist when you have a real man waiting for you, I can’t allow you to do that! I’m not asking you to be his fiancé but at least try to know him better, otherwise you’ll regret you didn’t.

Elisabeth hugged her friend and smiled.
Elisabeth: Thank you, sometimes I’d suffocate you, but thank you.

After a while, the two guys reached them and they spent some time talking.
Elisabeth: It’s kind of hot here.
Juliet: You’re right! I’d like to go outside taking a walk.
Leonard: I agree. You two, begin going out, Juliet and I will meet you later, first she has promised me a dance.
William: But..
Leonard: No discussions.

Still laughing, Leonard and Juliet headed to the dance floor, as William and Elisabeth went to the terrace.
Juliet: Do you think it will work?
Leonard: I wish, otherwise, we’ll have to dance all the night long.

William and Elisabeth walked for a while, and then they sat on a bench, staring at the starry sky.
Elisabeth: It’s a wonderful starry sky, will it inspire you for your poetry?
William: I don’t know, anyway, I don’t have any sheet to write on…

They looked at each other and laughed.
Elisabeth: It feels so good, I could stay like this forever. Tel me about you, William.
William: Well, after Sophie’s tales I guess you know enough about me.

He turned and looked her deep into her eyes, and she was breathless.
William: Tell me about you, Elisabeth.
Elisabeth: There’s not much to say. I’m an ordinary girl, happy, I live with my parents that you have already met, and as all the young girls I have to find a husband. My father keeps introducing me to men he even doesn’t like, and I’m forced to spend very boring afternoons with them. But I haven’t found the man who conquered my heart yet.
William: The boy you talked about this morning with Juliet, it’s not that I wanted to eavesdrop, but..
Elisabeth: Don’t worry, it’s me who crashed against you, it was inevitable that you heard everything. Honestly, that boy doesn’t exist, it’s just a dream I have every night, and I hope to give a face to the man I’ll marry.
William: Haven’t you find him yet?
Elisabeth: Maybe I have.

She smiled to him, and then she look at the ground, embarrassed.
Elisabeth: And you? Are you engaged?

She asked fearful, hoping with all her heart he would say no.
William: Not yet, also my mother tries to introduce me potential wives. But I hadn’t much luck so far. To spend afternoons with women that do nothing but arranging their hair and gossiping about stuff I don’t even care is not my highest aspiration. I’d like to meet someone I can talk with without trouble, have fun with her as I’m having fun with you, now.

They looked at the ground without talking.
Elisabeth: If I know Juliet and Leonard well, they’ll keep dancing until they can’t hold on anymore, just to leave us alone: It’s late now, and I should go, maybe we’d better warn them.
William: Well, Elisabeth, let’s make them happy, so they’ll stop plotting. If you allow me to, I’d like to walk you home.
Elisabeth: Very willingly. Let’s let them know and then let’s go.

After warning their friends, leaving them astonished when they saw them leaving together, they walked to Elisabeth’s house, talking about everything.
When they arrived, they stopped for a while to look at each other and to enjoy that moment.
William: I’ve spent an amazing night with you.
Elisabeth: Me, too. And it would be nice to see you again.
William: Usually, I don’t express what I feel, but Leonard is right, I’ll regret it forever. You are the most special person I’ve ever met, and I’d like to find out if there’s an ‘ us ‘ between you and me.

Elisabeth startled hearing those words, and she almost had a tachycardia and she felt dizzy.
Elisabeth: I never express what I feel, too, and I don’t want you to think bad of me; but I believe I could regret this, too.

And saying that she came closer and give him a very little soft kiss on his lips.
William was shocked, but he was the happiest man on Earth, his eyes shined as he had reached the heavens.
Elisabeth: Sorry, I didn’t want to be impudent..
William: Don’t apologize, you just did what I wanted to do.

They smiled embarrassed and they departed, although they felt as there was a magnet that pulled one against the other.
William came closer again, and he caressed her face.
William: See you soon, then.
Elisabeth: See you soon, goodnight.

This time he was the one who bent on her, giving her the sweetest kiss they had experienced.
William: Now, you’d better go, or your parents will get worried.
Elisabeth: Yeah, I should go.

They looked into each other eyes again and smiled.
Elisabeth arrived in front of the door, but before opening it she turned to him one last time, she greeted him with a tilt of her head and got inside.
William stayed still, staring at the closed door and recovering from the previous events.
Inhaling deeply Elisabeth’s smell in the air he left, humming an old song.

Elisabeth lingered at the door, with a dreamy look lost in the blankness, until someone turn on the light, bringing her to realty.
Catherine: How was the night, honey?
Elisabeth: Very well, mom. Now I go sleep, but tomorrow I’ll tell you everything.

She went upstairs running, and before getting in her room, she stopped at their parents’ one, where her father, leaning at the wall was watching her trying to remain serious.
She looked at him without saying anything, kissed his cheek and ran to her room with a smile on her lips.
Catherine reached her husband, hugging him.

Alexander: Have you seen the light in her eyes?
Catherine: Yes, Alexander, I saw my daughter happy. Let’s go sleep now, tomorrow she’ll tell us everything.

TBC

And believe me, it will get more and more beautiful! ;)
