@hallownight89 requested a follow up to my, now infamous, Surprise dirty text chain, in which the Bridgertons were allowed their own back. So here goes
Anthony decides to send Kate the message when she's halfway through a meeting. Standing right outside the glass conference room door smirking manically as he watches Kate's mouth fall open in surprise dropping her phone, her eyes shooting up to his as she shifts a little uncomfortably in her chair. And when Kate drags him into her office later, he's more than willing to follow through with his promise to get down on his knees again. Even as his wife says God, Please don't look so smug, Anthony
Sophie receives the message at Violet Bridgerton's birthday party and in hindsight she needn't have been quite so surprised by the artistically lit picture, he does do it for a living after all. But that definitely doesn't stop Sophie from blushing scarlet as Ben's arm stays wrapped tightly around her waist. Sophie clears her throat and drags Benedict back to his childhood bedroom and tries not to feel embarrassed that this is not the first time they've done this next to his Art Attack poster.
Colin sends Penelope a desperately filthy message when they're out at dinner with Daphne and Simon. She had looked down expecting a message from her boss about a printing emergency and let out a surprised squeak, Colin's hand still firm on her thigh as he eats his dessert with a theatrical moan. It's all Penelope can do not to pass out honestly. As soon as they're in the car she makes her move.
Daphne sends Simon the message, timed to perfection Just as he's about to take the field for a match. She can see his eyes widen in shock and surprise right there on the screen that shows the players in their final meetings with the manager. And Daphne can't help but feel a little smug when Simon trips over himself as he runs onto the pitch.
Eloise has been lying in wait for several months to enact her revenge. The moment she's chosen? Parent Teacher night at Oliver and Amanda's school. Miss Green is right in the middle of telling them how absolutely darling their children are when Phillip glances down at his phone, Eloise's thumb still rubbing soft circles on the back of his hand and let's out a harsh Fuck Me of surprise. Miss Green is very startled. Eloise clears her throat and with a particularly smug smile says You'll have to forgive Mr Crane, I think his plans for this evening just got changed.
Francesca has also been plotting Michael's demise for quite some time. Her moment? Right in the middle of the press junket for the new season of Kilmartin Michael had made the mistake of looking down at the message right as the next journalist walked into the room. And truly he would have been fine had it not been for the fact that Frankie seemed to have taken it upon herself to touch him as much as possible. Oh isn't he funny? touching his arm. Isn't he charming? Brushing his hair from his eyes. God he;s practically overheating. Oh he must be feeling shy Today! She says when he can barely get out 3 words the entire interview. When this journalist, a little bewildered leaves Michael leans in close to his fiancée and says You're going to pay for this later. And Francesca smiles the sly smile that always gives him a jolt and says Do you promise? Before looking up at the woman now entering the room Karen! So good to see you again!
Gregory sends Lucy quite possibly the filthiest thing she's ever seen written down right in the middle of the staff meeting one week. He's sitting across for her, an innocent expression on his adorable face, his glasses askew as always as Janet from HR talks about interpersonal relationships in the office for the hundredth time, but his foot nudges hers and then starts to inch up her leg, a smirk starting on his face as she blushes scarlet, trying to act nonchalant as she subtly tries to press the cold metal of her engagement ring against her forehead. When a second message comes through staggeringly more filthy Lucy abruptly slides her chair back and marches from the meeting leaving everyone looking quite bewildered, bar Gregory who looks abominably smug as Kate says in a faux whisper Yes, incredible display of a functioning office relationship there. Janet just sighs resignedly.
Hyacinth waits until they're sandwiched between Her mother and his grandmother to send Gareth the message which she has been carefully crafting for weeks. And irritatingly he ignores it. You should really check that message that just came through, Honey. Hyacinth says pointedly, running her fingers along his spine smirking slightly as he shivers. And to her very great annoyance he eyes her carefully and then with such an irritating smirk that she doesn't know if she wants to kiss him or kill him he says Whatever you have to tell me, You can whisper into my ear later, Honey. And god help her. She does.
