        Summary: What if instead of Penelope and Colin being the first to meet, they're the last?In this whirlwind romance (no literally, we're not taking ANYTHING slow) Penelope gets a job at Bridgerton Bridal boutique, and gets to know the Bridgeton family.Colin is traveling for work and sees a photo of her and nearly looses his mind. Unbeknownst to him, Hyacinth made up to Cressida that Penelope and Colin are dating, resulting in chaos.This is by no means a serious story. It's lighthearted, cutsey, and adorably insane... at least I think so.I hope you enjoy!

    Penelope laid in bed, staring at her phone later that night.For some reason, she couldn't get the idea of this "Colin" out of her head.Maybe it had to do with the fact she was pretending to be to dating someone she'd never even met, let alone laid eyes on.Maybe it was because he was the last of the Bridgertons she had yet to meet.Maybe it was because she was simply bored in her home.Letting out a sigh, she opened her Instagram app and quickly typed in his name. She found his profile quickly, and excitedly tapped on his name.Her heart leapt to her throat as she gazed at the image of him.Anthony was handsome, Benedict was charming, Gregory was sure to be a heartbreaker, but Colin..."Wow..." She whispered,  unable to contain the little gasp that escaped her lips.He was gorgeous, and sexy, and cute, and rugged, yet somehow polished at the same time?... he was literally the hottest guy Penelope had ever seen.No wonder Cressida was shocked to learn Penelope was dating him... well...fake dating. She began to think this plan of Hyacinth's wasn't going to work. Who would believe a guy like him would go for a girl like her?A broke, stumpy ginger who worked for his mom. He probably had tons of models after him. She could only imagine the hoard of DM's he probably received on a daily basis.She scrolled through his photos. Lots of nature pictures, TONS of food pictures. He'd been everywhere! Japan, South Africa, Brazil, Canada...basically you name one continent, and he'd been there to one country or another.One thing she did notice though... no one else was ever in the photos... well, outside of family or people he met along his travels. No one as in... no girls. As in...a girlfriend... ever.Maybe he just liked to keep his private life, well, private.A follow request from Hyacinth popped up, and Penelope quickly accepted, and followed her back. Clicking back to Colin's profile, her thumb hovered over the follow button. Since he had a public profile, she didn't need to request to follow him. He'd probably not even notice amongst the thousands of followers he had.She quickly hit the blue button and promptly put her phone down on her nightstand.She was being ridiculous. Mooning over some guy she'd never met, who would never even bother to glance her way.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡Colin returned to his hotel room, exhausted from his day of looking at venues, sampling the local cuisine, and speaking with several hotel managers about blocks of rooms and their rates.He really wanted to get a hot shower and take a nap, but he needed to organize all his notes from the day before he forgot anything.Brewing himself a cup of coffee, he settled onto the bed and pulled out his laptop.While he waited for things to load, he grabbed his notepad and phone, ready to compile his notes and photos from the day.Bzzz...bzzz...bzzz"Penelope Featherington started following you. Follow back?"Colin scrunched his brows at the notification.Who was Penelope?Clicking on the tab, he began to grin like an idiot when he saw the profile picture.It was her.The girl in Hyacinth's picture from earlier. The one he'd been daydreaming about for the last three hours.Who was this beauty that was now gracing his phone? He quickly tapped on her pictures, and was disappointed to see she hardly had any, of anything really. Most of her stuff was book related, be it book quotes, pictures of antique books, or an artsy angle of her reading one.He poured over the few pictures of herself that she had. He was sad to see she seemed to hide herself in most of the photos. Never a full body shot, most of her face covered by a book, the pictures taken from a high angle...He knew enough from his sisters that these were tell tale signs of a woman being insecure. He couldn't imagine why though. She was quite honestly the cutest girl he'd ever seen!A ding from his laptop snapped him out of his staring at the girl on his phone.Right. Work to do.He quickly hit the "follow" button, and returned to the task at hand.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡Penelope nearly squealed when she saw Colin had followed her back. She didn't have many followers, pretty much just family and a few people she'd gone to school with.And she kept grinning the whole time she readied herself for work, even the whole way to the bridal shop."You seem in a good mood!" Daphne smiled at her when she entered."Oh...um...I got a really good night's sleep." She fibbed. The truth was, she'd tossed and turned all night thinking about Colin Bridgerton and his chestnut wavy hair...But she couldn't exactly tell his younger sister that."Hey, sis!" Hyacinth bounded up to her. "I saw you and Colin started following each other on Insta. Good move! It'll make it seem more believable.""Yeah... yeah I thought it might look weird if we're supposedly dating and we don't even follow each other on social media." Penelope nodded. Yeah...because THAT'S why she looked him up...."Good thing he follows back just about everyone who follows him, because we'd be in trouble then!" She giggled."He... he follows everyone?" Penelope tried to sound nonchalant about it as she headed to the laundry room."Yeah, helps build the family business." Hyacinth informed her.Penelope felt her heart sink. There went her perfect morning, imagining that this Colin guy found her cute, that he wanted to get to know her, and NO! she hadn't tested out how her first name sounded with his last while she was showering that morning!"Oh... yeah... that... that makes sense." She mumbled."Want some help?" Hyacinth offered."No, that's okay, I've got it. Thank you, though." Penelope forced a smile. Hyacinth shrugged and scampered off.Penelope took in a shaky breath. This was so stupid. Why was she so upset over this?Probably because the last time she'd dared to think of a guy past "he's cute" she'd been completely humiliated at her senior prom.Alfie Debling had taken her, and she'd been ecstatic. He wasn't one of the cool popular kids, but pretty much everyone liked him. He was quiet, kept to himself, and was nice to everyone.She'd thought he was cute, but didn't necessarily have a crush on him. Until he randomly asked her to prom. She'd been downright giddy picking out her dress, getting her hair and makeup done... thinking that maybe this would lead to something.Then at the dance, she walked up on him talking to a group of his friends who were heckling him over his choice of date."C'mon, guys. Who else was going to take her? It's her senior year...I felt bad!" He'd announced.He never knew she heard him, but she was quiet the rest of the night.A pity date. That's what she was.Cr@p, and now she was crying in the laundry room.Over a guy on Instagram."Penelope! I love what you did with the dresses!" Daphne interrupted her pity party. "Your choices look great, and I really think... oh, love, what's the matter?""Sorry, I just... just a bad memory that I'd rather forget about. I'm fine." Penelope brushed away at the tears. "So, um, you like the new displays?""Yeah, they're really beautiful." Daphne gave her a sympathetic smile. "I always say how size inclusive we are, and this really shows it!""Great... I'm... I'm glad you like it." She gave her a tight smile."Penelope... are you sure you're okay?" Daphne gently reached a hand out to her."Yeah...or at least I will be." She insisted."Well... okay then. I'll leave you to it." Daphne gave her hand a squeeze before leaving the room.The rest of her shift passed without incident. It was a little crazy in the shop, as it was Saturday, which meant Gregory and Hyacinth were there.Violet was right. Hyacinth couldn't focus on one task for more than five minutes. Gregory mainly stuck to the employees break room, immersed in his studies, while Hyacinth flitted from one family member to the next.Sophie and Benedict had brought food again, and had even provided lunch for everyone, which Penelope learned was their Saturday tradition.Eloise and Phillip checked on the flowers, and replaced any that were wilting.Anthony stopped in to go over the finances with Violet, while Kate held auditions for models for the upcoming runway show in their shop.Francesca had popped in to lend a hand as they had several double appointments that day.Penelope was surrounded by Bridgertons, so why did she find herself longing for the one she'd never met?During her lunch break, she peeked at his Instagram again. He'd added a new photo to his page. A gorgeous meadow stretched out before him, with an impressive mountain behind it."Incredible wedding venue near Mt. Hood in Oregon. If you're interested in this beautiful location for your big day, or have any questions about it, please email me." The caption read.She also saw he'd added to his story. Rolling her eyes at herself, she tapped on the circle.In the photo, he was clearly sitting in bed, his camera facing in front of him. His laptop was open, and it looked like he was creating a detailed spreadsheet about the wedding venues he'd visited the day before.A cup of coffee and a muffin were on a little tray next to it, and a notebook with hastily scribbled notes was plopped beside him."Chillin like a villian"She giggled at the corny caption, but then felt her heart sink again. It's not like he'd taken that picture for her... How many other girls were giggling and sighing over every post he made?Slamming her phone on the table, she shoved her plate of food away. After about fifteen seconds of pouting, she pulled it back to herself.Dang, Sophie could cook...♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡"What am I even doing?" Colin murmered to himself as he found himself pulling up Penelope's Instagram profile again.No new photos, no new stories... and yet here he was... staring at the photo Hyacinth had tagged her in last night.He began to wonder what had made her decide to follow him when they'd never met, but a quick searched showed him she had begun to follow literally all of his siblings. He tried not to pout at the realization that she probably figured she may as well follow the whole clan.He wasn't special to her like he'd originally hoped. He did wonder what the connection was with his family...Colin rubbed at his eyes as he started the shower. It was four in the morning, and he had a flight to Denver to catch.He'd have to daydream more about the pretty red head later.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡"Penelope!" Kate hurried over to her as Penelope began to pull on her coat to head home. "I'm so glad I caught you. Even though I put out an ad for a plus size model, non showed up, and I need to finalize this today. Would you be willing to do the runway show?""Me?!" Penelope stared at Kate like she'd grown an extra head. "Oh, Kate, I'm... I'm not a model... I'm barely over five foot!""Right, but I thought you could wear the tea length dress. It would also show our audience that these dresses are also great options for our petite brides." Kate exclaimed."I don't know, Kate..." Penelope nibbled at her lip."Pleaseeeeee!" Kate pleaded. Then she gave her "the look". Good gravy, no wonder Anthony caved anytime she hit him with that look. She could launch a thousand ships with a face like that."Okay, fine." She laughed. "What do I need to do?""Yay! Okay let's have you try on the dress first." Kate led her over to one of the dressing rooms and helped her into the beautiful dress. "It's a perfect fit! Let's go have a look in the big mirror."Penelope followed her out onto the main floor. Stepping up on the pedestal, she lifted her eyes to gaze at herself in the large gold mirror. The dress was an A- line tea length gown that hit her at her ankles. The bodice was a corset style with boning and wiring around the bust cups too. The whole dress was draped in a soft chiffon, and delicate strapes hung off the shoulders."Kate... it's..." She gasped."You look amazing, Penelope!" Kate gushed. "Girls, what do you think?"Violet, Daphne, Sophie, Eloise,  Francesca, and Hyacinth all hurried over to see her."Penelope! You look incredible!" Daphne exclaimed."Dang, girl! Where have you been hiding those t@ts?!" Eloise openly stared at Penelope's breast, which where pressed together and up in a very sexy way."Eloise, have some tact." Violet scolded. "But truly, my dear, you look lovely.""Like a princess!" Hyacinth let out a happy sigh."Go ahead and have a seat for me, Penelope. I want to go over the line up with Daphne for next week. Then we'll get you out of the dress." Kate motioned for her to take a seat on the sofa.Penelope plopped down and began happily chatting away with the girls.While her day had been gloomy with her pining after Colin, at least her afternoon had ended with her feeling more beautiful than she'd ever felt in her life.Click."Benedict, did you just take a picture of me?" She glared at the second Bridgerton."Yup. Couldn't help myself. You look gorgeous!" He grinned.Penelope rolled her eyes and resumed her conversation with Eloise and Francesca.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡Bzzz...bzzz...bzzzColin was waiting for his luggage when he felt his phone go off. Pulling it out, he saw a notification at the top."Penelope Featherington was tagged in a photo"He quickly tapped on the bar and nearly dropped his phone when the photo popped up.She was sitting on one of the sofas at the bridal shop. Her hair was falling in natural curls all about her. Her tiny bare feet were peeking out of the puffy dress as she leaned forward slightly, exposing more of her incredible br@@sts. Her head was tilted back, and it looked like she was laughing  about something.It was such a beautiful candid shot. He wanted to screenshot the image and make it his phone back drop... but that was bordering on stalker, so he wouldn't go that far.Benedict had to have taken the photo as he was the one who had tagged her in it, and it was clearly captured in his style of photography.And Colin would recognize one of Kate's designs anywhere!And then it hit him...oh...THAT'S why she knew everyone. She was clearly a bride, and was using the family businesses for her big day. He assumed she'd be reaching out to him soon to inquire about wedding venues.He did find it odd that Benedict would post a bride in her wedding dress before the special event, but who knows! Maybe brides didn't care so much about that these days, or maybe this was just one she was trying on but didn't pick."Hey, buddy, isn't that yours? It's gone around like three times." A man spoke up."What? Oh! Yeah, thanks!" Colin hurried to grab his suitcase as he shoved his phone back in his pocket.She was taken. The girl of his dreams was getting married.That's what he gets for daydreaming about a girl he's never even met.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡Several days had passed since Penelope had first began to follow Colin. After learning the hard truth, that she wasn't anything special to him, she had forced herself to not get on social media for at least three days.She felt she was beginning to get him out of her system. He was just another cute guy. She could hardly even remember how his hair curled in the most adorable way, how his smile made her weak at the knees, how tall he looked....Nope. Out of sight, out of mind.It had also helped that she'd had two days off from the bridal salon. Being away from the rest of the Bridgerton brood kept thoughts of him at bay.She was far too busy adding new clothes to her online cart that she planned to buy once she received her first paycheck.Most of the Bridgertons dressed in pastels or even jeweled toned clothing. Always classy, no obvious designers like Gucci or Chanel. She knew from her years of being chronically online that the truly wealthy people NEVER wore brands like that. It was like they had their own secret designers they bought from that the rest of the world wasn't privy to.While she couldn't shop at those kinds of places (she was sure one of Violet's blouses would be at least half her paycheck), she could at least try to fit in a little more.She'd selected two button down blouses, one in pale blue, one in lavender; a black pencil skirt; a royal blue wrap dress; and a couple sweaters in baby pink, ivory, and navy blue.That felt like plenty to start with.She then kept herself busy with reorganizing her makeup and hair products. THAT kept her occupied for all of ten minutes.She organized, and then reorganized her closet; made her bed, took several walks; reread her favorite book...By day three, she was sure that she'd done enough to wipe Colin from her mind. Surely she could open her Instagram app and not be caught up in him again.Cuddling up in bed after a long day at the bridal salon, she tapped on the icon.He had two new pictures and three new posts on his story.She stared at the photo on her screen and was thoroughly caught. Hook, line, and sinker.His first photo showed him on a hiking trail; the second one showed him sitting on a boulder over looking a stream. It was mainly a selfie, so she couldn't see much of his surroundings, but she was sure it was beautiful."Someday..." the caption read.Someday? What was that supposed to mean?Shaking her head, she then tapped on his story.A quick video showed him running up a dirt path with the caption "gotta get the cardio in!". The second was a picture of his dinner with the chef's kiss emoji. The third and final one was a selfie of him smiling at the sunset with the caption "Colorado, you are so beautiful! I hope to see you again soon with my special someone!"Penelope found herself lost in his eyes. They were so blue! Most people had flecks of other shades or colors in their eyes, but his were pure midnight blue. Truly the most remarkable shade she'd ever seen...Then her eyes wandered to the caption again."...my special someone"...Oh.He had a special someone. But his siblings had never said.... but then again, maybe they didn't know.Violet had mentioned that Colin was quite a private person. Maybe this was his way of soft launching a new relationship.Stuffing her phone under her pillow, she prepared herself for another restless night's sleep.
