One: Jealousy

Unfortunately, jealousy had always been a part of Darcy's nature. He felt it first when his mother was pregnant with Gigi. He was jealous that someone was stealing his spotlight and taking away the undivided attention from his parents. When she was born and he saw his sister for the first time, his jealousy was forgotten.

When he thinks about it, part of him was always jealous of George Wickham, although he doesn't really feel it until Wickham has wormed his way into Lizzie's life. Wickham had always been good with the ladies and charismatic, but he never really cared. He didn't want to be with the girls that Wickham chased, but that was before Lizzie Bennet.

Two: Love

"I love you. I'm in love with you William Darcy," she tells him. He'd asked her if her feelings had changed since Halloween and they had. She was in love with him, "William. I think I knew it at Pemberley and I should have said something. I would have prevented so much heart ache, mine and yours."

"Shh," he said silencing her with a kiss.

Three: Passion

Their relationship lacked the passion of Lizzie and Darcy's. But that was okay. They were sweet, not sexy. She baked cookies and he drove her to work. They snuggled and watched romantic comedies. They made goo goo eyes on each other and they held hands. She would never be as passionate as her sister and Bing would never be as silently passionate as Darcy. Even when she and Bing were in their honeymoon phase, they would never be all over each other they way Darcy and Lizzie were on normal days. But that was perfectly okay.

Four: Dreams

At first his dreams involve her in bed. Sometimes they're other places, like the pool or up against the wall, but mostly she is in his bed. Eventually his dreams become more domestic. Sometimes they leave the bed and have breakfast. Eventually his mother's ring ends up on her finger. It should scare him, but it doesn't.

By the time he gets the nerve to tell her how he feels, he's imagined a thousand different futures for them. In his mind, he's already lived their future. They've shared an entire life already so there's no doubt in his mind that she'll want the same thing and that his dreams will become a reality.

Five: Betrayal

It feels like a betrayal. He knows that Darcy and even his sister were only looking out for him. He'd dated "gold diggers" before but had been too blind to see it until someone would drag him away. It had been for the best. He was too trusting of people, or so they told him, but he never saw trust as a bad thing. No, pulling him away from Jane wasn't the betrayal, but concealing the truth was.

Six: Forgiveness:

"Bing, look, I'm sorry. I should have told you. I was wrong. I shouldn't have interfered."

"Do you mean that?"

"Of course. I know I shouldn't interfere, but I have to tell you that Jane still has feelings for you."

"Are you sure?" he can't believe she'd want to be with him after what an ass he's been.

"Just watch Lizzie's latest video. She's not going to take you back right away, but she still cares deeply for you."

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yeah, it's time for us to go back to Netherfield."

"Us? Bing, does this mean you've forgiven me?"

"Yes. And from what Gigi tells me, you have your own Bennet sister to woo."

Seven: Lust

The first time they have sex, they take their time. It's slow and passionate and in his bed. It's exactly what making love should be. And that's what you're supposed to do when you're in love with someone and they're in love with you.

But with the months and months of sexual tension (even when she thought she hated him, she could never deny how hot she was), it doesn't satisfy the love and lust they feel for each other. They're hot and heavy from the start.

They sneak away from family dinners to get in a quickie in the bathroom. They do it in the back of his car like a couple of horny teenagers. They do it hot and fast in the elevator at Pemberley Digital when everyone's gone home for the night. They do it in the pool in his backyard and on the granite countertop in the kitchen. They do it up against the wall in the foyer. They do it everywhere and all the time and they still cannot get enough.

Eight: Anger

His Aunt Catherine was angry, angrier than he'd ever heard her. She told him that Caroline had called her and told her how Lizzie had seduced Darcy, made him fall in love with her and tricked him into offering her a job at Pemberley Digital.

He's angry too. He's angry with Caroline for starting the rumor and angry with Catherine for believing it. His anger fades when she informs him that that harlot Lizzie Bennet refused to deny that she was in love with her nephew and desired nothing more than a position at Pemberley Digital. In that moment, his anger fades to hope.

Nine: Apologies.

"Lizzie. I'm sorry. Please open the door."

"No," she sobbed, "I'm mad at you."

"Come on Lizzie. Please. Let's just talk about this. Let me apologize."

"Fine," she opened the door, her tears red from crying and her cheeks stained with tears.

"Lizzie. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I should never have brought your family into a fight. I'm an idiot and I was out of line."

"Apology accepted," she told him, "just don't do it again."

Ten: Lies

She should feel bad about lying to her mother, but she doesn't. She's barely engaged to Will for a day when her mother tries to start planning the wedding. She doesn't want a big wedding, she's never dreamed of one. She'd marry Darcy at city hall if she could, but it might kill her mother.

Instead, she plans the wedding on her own. She tells her mother they're planning on a long engagement while she takes care of everything. She organizes it all at Darcy's vineyard and invites everyone to what they believe in an engagement party. Only her father knows so he can walk her down the aisle.
