Unlikely Love (A Benedict Cumberbatch Fanfic)

Pop Goes the Question

"Hey Ben, let's order pizza. I don't really want to go out." I whispered as I cuddled up to Benedict on the couch.

"But Ana, you look so nice... And it's my only night this week that I don't have to film. Please, can we go out?"

I bit my lip and then nodded. "Fine, alright, we can go out."

"Okay great, just let me go get my-"

"BUT, after we get back, you have to do whatever I want. And I'm thinking I might want a foot massage." I cut him off mid-sentence with a smirk on my face.

He let out a sigh then took my hand, kissing it gently. "I'll do whatever you want. I love you."

"I love you too, babe." I smiled and kissed his forehead. "What were you saying you were going to get?"

"What? Oh! My wallet. I was going to get my wallet." He stood up and walked into my bedroom, grabbing his wallet off of my dresser.

(He totally hadn't been over for a few hours, and we totally hadn't been in my bedroom... *wink* *wink*)

I watched him and then I walked into the bathroom to put my hair back up into a bun. I touched up my makeup as well and then was ready to go.

I walked back out and saw Benedict quickly slip something into his coat pocket. He smiled warmly at me, acting as if I hadn't seen anything. "Ready, love?"

"Yeah, sure." I smiled back then took his arm as we left my flat.

After dinner, which was at a pizza parlor a few blocks away, Ben and I went to the park. It was a cool evening, but we both had our coats and hats on, so we were quite comfortable.

"Hey Ana, can I ask you something? It's a bit important." He looked at me with his dazzling blue eyes, which I thought were similar to that of an ocean's blue, and his little gold flecks looked like fish. It made me smile.

"Mhm? Anything." I spoke in a daze and I didn't notice him taking my hand.

"Ana, I know we've had our ups and downs, but we've had quite a few months of ups, and it's been a month since our only down."

I watched him, nodding my head softly. "Carry on..."

"Well," He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a box, my eyes widening as he opened it. "Would you consider...?"

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Was that a short chapter? I think it was. Was that a cliffhanger? I DEFINITELY THINK IT WAS. Hehe, I guess you'll have to wait and see what Benedict is going to ask Ana!

Hopefully you won't have to wait as long as it took me to update this chapter. I'm terribly sorry about that...
