Possible Husband (past fanfic including Jane & Dimitri)

Dimitri, punctual as usual, rang the doorbell of the stately home in South-England. It was quite big and seemed to be very old, but it was perfectly restored. Not a surprise, it belonged to a very old noble family after all. It was more a coincidence that he had met Mr. Carter. They had met in during a business-meeting and both attended the 'sfter-drinking' a few men had gone to. Mr. Carter and him had talked a lot this evening and somehow came to talk about his daughter Jane too and after he had heard that he was still on the loose, Mr. Carter invited him to meet his daughter. Obviously to marry her off to him and her picture had been really pretty, so he decided to give it a try, it would be very profitable to be part of this family, that was beyond question.

He didn't have to wait long, before a maid opened the door and already asked him in before he could even tell her who he was and what he wanted, obviously already waiting for him. Inside, a middle-old couple and a young woman were waiting already to recieve him. That had to be Jane's sister. Quite an eyesight aswell, but still too young for him. He shook Mr. Carter's hand and then handkissed both ladies, before they all went into the livingroom. The two women excused themselves to go get Jane and he sped them on their way with a charming smile. He could swear Victoria was getting red, that was the usual reaction to him though. Either this ar a naughty glance in his direction. He turned back to M. Carter and kept on smalltalking, about his job und their cooperation.
They changed the topic though when Mrs. Carter and Victoria came back with the information that Jane would be here soon. So she liked a grand entrance? Fine with him, in the meantime he told the others an interesting and funny story when she finally came down the stairs. It felt like one of these slow-motion moments in a teenie-movie. She really was a pretty girl. The Russian stood up and went over to her, giving her a handkiss aswell as his most charming smile and introduced himself: "Ms. Jane, it's an honor to meet you. I am Dimitri Sudayev, to your service." He straightened up again, still smiling at her. "I have to say, you're even more beautiful than on that picture your father showed me. Now I know exactly why he is so proud on you."

At once someone pays attention me, Jane thought to herself whith a smile on her face as Dimitri was the first to notice her and went right on to the greeting. He surely was a gentleman and indeed once of the most handsome she had ever seen so far. Of course Jane as well had to blush immediately as gave a handkiss. "The honor is all mine as well it is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Sudayev." She replied with a headbow before she almost stared at him in surprise for a moment. Her father being proud of her? Since when was that? Did she maybe just imamgined that?

For a moment Jane automatically looked at her parents questoining but then quickly turned her attention back to Dimitri. "Oh thank you."

Just when she then was about to try starting a small conversation with him her father interferred. "Now that we are all together how about we move to the dining hall for lunch?"
