A Word Between Us
Prompt #1
Reporter
Word Count: 525
She glanced up from her laptop, with her blue ballpoint pen settled in between her teeth. She had her notebook set aside beside her on the sofa, when she finally saw that what she wanted to see was beginning on the silent television.
She set the pen aside on top of her now closed notebook. She closed the laptop, placing it on top of her notebook before reaching for the television remote to increase the volume. Her blue eyes indulged in the appearance of a certain someone who finally graced their presence on her television screen.
Her auburn hair was tied in a messy knotted bun on her head, but few tendrils threatened to fall from it. She constantly found herself pushing loose strands of hair behind her ear, as she eagerly awaited his words.
Lizzie smiled when she saw her boyfriend of six months, William Darcy, for news coverage about his and Pemberley Digital's latest endeavour in the video apps technology market.
She smiled when she noticed how nervous he seemed to be, with his stoic expression, pursed lips and furrowed brows. The reporter was a petite blonde woman with bright blue eyes, who spoke rather enthusiastically about the media empire heir. Much too enthusiastically.
Lizzie bit back a smile as she noticed Will start to get agitated when the young, bubbly reporter spoke graciously about his accomplishments at such a young age. And how it was amazing to have someone like him in the California area to bring it higher up on the global scale for upcoming innovations in this market. Though it would appear to someone one else when he replied with brief, terse statements that he was rude and arrogant, Lizzie knew that it was simply his awkwardness in being thrust into the spotlight.
As the news report was coming to a close, the blonde reporter couldn't help but slip in one personal question.
"For the viewers, of course," she insisted before she asked if he was single.
Lizzie inhaled a deep breath, unsure of how he would answer that question. She knew that he was a private man and did not want his personal life be the talk of tabloids and the public.
She was surprised, however, when he looked up to the camera. His steely blue eyes penetrated through the screen, as Lizzie felt her heart skip a beat. His gaze softened as, for the first time in the interview, he smiled.
He spoke with alarming poise in his voice, "I'm not single, unfortunately. I have fallen in love with a beautiful woman, Lizzie Bennet."
Lizzie felt her heart beat quicken, as she felt her chest constrict. She couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief. She felt her cheeks redden, as she muttered, "I can't believe he did that."
The reporter replied to his shocking confession with saying that it was a pity for the rest of Los Angeles and California that such an amazing man was taken. She added that his girlfriend was very lucky to have him.
William Darcy surprised Lizzie and the viewers again when he smiled, shaking his head, "No, I'm the lucky one."
Always exploring and unleashing,
