A/N: Hey readers! here is my second attempt at an LBD fic! Hope you like it! Please review!
"Well actually Gigi has an engagement so it would just be," he paused and I could see this sort of vulnerability in his eyes that nearly broke my heart. "You and me." I couldn't help continuing to stare into his eyes. They were beautiful. How had I never noticed his beautiful, soft eyes before? I guess I was seeing a lot of new things in Darcy these days.
"Oh." I simply responded, unsure of how I felt about this.
"If you have another engagement, of course I understand," he stuttered, knowing perfectly well that I was free given the fact I had just agreed to it a moment ago before I knew Gigi wouldn't be there. What was I thinking! Of course I wanted to go!
"No of course not! I would love to go." I said enthusiastically. "Sorry, you just took me by surprise that's all. "When should we meet?"
"I could pick you up around 6 and we could get dinner before," He suddenly paused, his smile dropping ever so slightly. "Unless you'd rather just go to the theater."
"No! Dinner sounds great!" I said truthfully.
"Great! I will see you then!"
Hours later I was sitting in my room, every dress I owned laying around me on the floor. "It's official. I have nothing to wear." I sighed, reaching for my phone and dialing the first number I thought of.
"Hello?"
"Gigi? I need help."
"Oh really? I hear you have some plans tonight, might that have something to do with your conundrum?" I could practically hear her smile through the phone.
"I have nothing to wear."
"Say no more. I'll be there in ten minutes." She hung up and true to form she was at the door in ten minutes flat.
"Hey Gigi! Thank you so much for coming over! He's going to be here in half an hour and he's never late. I haven't got my hair done or my make up on or anything!" She threw a flatiron towards me and opened her purse.
"Don't worry. Fitz and I have been waiting for this day for weeks and I have you all planned out." I choked on my iced tea.
"I'm sorry? You have me planned out?"
"Uhh, yeah! I bought you a dress weeks ago!" Gigi said with a confident roll of her eyes.
"You bought me a dress to wear?"
"Of course! And I went through all your videos and twitter and Facebook pictures to see how your hair looked best and I've come up with an answer."
"Oh boy. Gigi, I just wanted your opinion on which dress I should wear."
"Well it's a bit too late. I have an idea in my head and I'm not about to stop short. My brother is going to be speechless. I introduce to you, the perfect, little black dress." I tried not to gasp. Holy shit. It was GORGEOUS. And a little bit slutty, this was the kind of dress that got a girl some action. I hoped to God that Fitz had picked this out because Gigi wanting her brother to get lucky was a little too weird a concept for me to think about.
"Fitz's sister works in fashion. She sent the dress but I picked out the heels!"
"Oh my God, Gigi, these are real Louboutins!"
"Yes and I want them back." She said as she began to unbutton my shirt. "Thank God we're the same size!" I nodded as she started throwing undergarments at me. There was black lace everywhere. But I acquiesced with a sigh because I didn't have the kind of underwear you put under a dress like this. As I worked on my makeup Gigi was hurrying through my hair. "Pulled to the side as always but I'm adding a little curl to the bottom. This a special occasion after all." Five minutes before 6 I was looking in a mirror with my eyes wide and my mouth gaping open.
"Holy shit."
"You look amazing!" She squealed. "Okay remember. I'm staying over at Fitz's tonight so don't worry about waking me up or disturbing me if you end up at our place tonight."
"Gigi, did you just invite me to sleep over with your brother?" I asked, the awkwardness back.
"What? I can't want you two to be together forever? And I don't want to talk about what happens, I am just providing some information to you so you can make an informed decision when the night comes to an end." I rolled my eyes. I wasn't going to sleep over. This was the first date! I wasn't the kind of girl who gave it out on the first date. And Darcy definitely wasn't the kind of guy who asked a girl to give it out on the first date. So it wasn't even an issue. But now thanks to Gigi I was starting to picture it! Ugh! I needed some water. I rushed off to the kitchen and took a long sip of water before Gigi rushed in after me. "He just parked! Quick, lipstick, perfume, here is your clutch." I hurried through reapplication and grabbed the clutch taking a deep breath. My heart was racing and I felt butterflies pounding around my stomach. "Your pretty new smartphone doesn't fit in the clutch but it's perfect so just leave it here. If something happens I'll call William." I nodded, grinning.
"Gigi, thank you." I said emphatically. She nodded happily as my doorbell rang.
"Go! I'll hide and leave as soon as you two are out of sight." She said as I plugged my pretty new phone into the wall and hurried towards the door. I glanced to make sure she was completely out of site and opened the door.
"William." I smiled warmly. He was smiling. Until he looked at me. And then he went completely slack jawed. His eyes were glowing warmly. My skin tingled pleasantly as I realized he liked what he saw.
"Lizzie, you look," he trailed off and I had to bite my lip to keep from grinning to hard. After what felt like several wonderful minutes he finished his sentence, his voice coming out in a murmur. "Incredible."
