Begin Again (Benedict Cumberbatch Romance)

Chapter 2

Just to let you know I didn't read through this and so sorry if there are any errors, I hope you will get what I am saying :) Thank you all!

The next couple of days were the same. Benedict would text me while I drew or watched TV. When Monday had started, all the kids had filed into the classroom, ready to learn.

I really loved to teach this young age group of kids, little second graders, because they would always be prepared and loved to learn what I had to say. People had said before that I have a voice that just gets to people, especially children. They say that's really good for their kids, to have a teacher they love and that makes me feel better that my students love me.

I was getting ready to start a lesson in how to write cursive letters, when my phone had buzzed. All the kids just stared at me desk, while I continued to teach my lesson.

Once I was done teaching and had given them a paper to practice on, I went over to my desk to sit down. I picked up my phone and it was a text from Benedict.

Hello Scarlett. Sorry if I'm interrupting your class, but I had sorted out a time for us to meet. How is Thursday? I don't have any filming that day, so I could come whenever you want. -Ben

I smiled at his text and caught a few students looking at me, wondering what I was smiling at. "Get back to work kids," I instructed them an they did as they were told.

That is perfect. Lunchtime would be great. I would enjoy your company. -Scar

Send. I sent the text and decide to get back to my students. I walked around the classroom, seeing if anyone needed any help. I saw one student struggling with making a lowercase b. I smiled and bent down to his level on my knees. I showed him a trick for it and he learned quickly, thanking me for my help. I nodded and started to walk around the class a few more times.

Just a few students needed help and just like that it was already time for lunch.

I brought the kids to the cafeteria and when my students were finished, I walked in and got myself a lunch. I walked back to my room in my high heels. They were dangerously high, but I could walk in them.

Once in my classroom, I began to eat and then I found I had a text from Benedict.

Great. Would you like to eat out? Or would you like me to bring you lunch and sit with you at your school? -Ben

I quickly typed in a reply, Out would be nice. I wouldn't want you to get trampled by the teachers or students. You are famous remember. -Scar

I munched on my salad as my phone beeped again.

Yes, I remember. That can be arranged. So how are you doing today? -Ben

I smiled at his reply and put down my phone and ate the rest of my lunch. It walked out to the trash can and threw away my tray and waited for my kids to line up out of the door from recess. I looked at the time and I had about thirty minutes till they get back. I decided to text Benedict back.

I am great. I am on lunch right now and the kids are at recess. I have about thirty minutes till they get back, so I am going to organize their work for today. -Scar

I got up and walked over to the stack of papers sitting there, waiting to be written on. I passed them out onto each of the students desks. Soon enough, my phone buzzed again.

Alright, I'll let you get to it! Text me once you are done and have time to text me! -Ben

I will. After the kids come in, I read to them for about twenty minutes, the they work on a worksheet. Once they are working I will text you, but now I have nothing to do... -Scar
