Begin Again (Benedict Cumberbatch Romance)

Chapter 4

Scarlett's POV

I awoke from my sleep with my obnoxious alarm clock. I groaned and hit the snooze button with my palm. I pulled myself out of bed and stretched my limbs. I did a few exercises to keep me feeble all day.

Once I was done exercising a bit, I quickly got dressed, fixed my hair and doing my makeup. I had smiled to myself. I had just gone on another date with the Benedict Cumberbatch. He was like a legend. He was so hot too. I couldn't help having all these hormonal feelings. I was a girl for fucks sakes! Whatever.

I swiftly made it out of my house, making sure everything was done and locked, I pranced to my car. Hell yeah, I still pranced. I always had this little girl inside me waiting to one out. That's why I have so many hormonal feelings about Ben. I couldn't help myself, god.

Singing along to the radio, I made it to school on the time I usually get there. I smiled again, thinking about Ben. Damn, he's invading my thoughts even more than they were when I was super, overly obsessed with him. Well whatever. I am a grown woman and I can do whatever the fuck I want.

"What are you smiling at?" One of my good teacher friends asked me. Oh good, I liked this guy. I felt like I could talk to him about anything and he could never judge me. He's a really down to Earth guy!

"Oh nothing," I said innocently, walking past him.

"Bullshit." He stopped me by placing his arm on my shoulder. Oh did I mention he cusses all the time? Never in front of the kids of course. That would get him fired right off the bat.

I let out a big sigh, "Well, I went on a date with a guy. It was our second, technically speaking. And I really do like him. He's invading my thoughts 24/7 and I just can't stop thinking about him. He's perfect in every way possible. He's smart, funny, good looking, a good personality, good sense of humor, everything I look for in a guy." Even though I ranted all the time to him, he never complained. He always listened carefully and gave the best advice I could ever ask for.

"It's obvious that you clearly have feelings for this lad. Does he like you?"

"I- I don't know yet. I think so. I'm not sure, but I hope to dear god that he does." I looked down and let out another sigh. I'm sighing a lot today. Lets hope I don't sound depressed to people. That would suck.

"Alright, well, you just have to keep going on dates with him. If he tells you his true feelings, he's a keeper, but watch out. There are blokes out there that just lie to get to you. Don't let him get to you if he's like that. Now, I doubt he is by the way you're describing him, but I'm just watching out for a friend. Okay?"

"Okay." And with that he smiled and walked away. I let out a small half smile and walked to my classroom. Benedict would never be like that. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that you would expect to be like that. He's so nice and he is a great person.

I really do hope he likes me.

Benedict's POV

I woke up from my sleep by a text from my director. He told me to come down to the set and I had to obey. I quickly threw on clean clothes and brushed through my messy bed head hair. I sighed to myself, coming to no avail. I brushed my teeth and quickly raced out the door, putting my shoes on on the way. I hopped in my car and raced down to the set.

I couldn't help but think of Scarlett. She was on my mind 24/7 and she never left my mind. I was always thinking of her. The way she smiles, the way she laughs, the way her nose crinkles just a bit when she's confused. She's so perfect to me. I can't help but smile as I'm running onto the set.
