Begin Again (Benedict Cumberbatch Romance)

Chapter 7

I was aroused by my alarm clock and I was instantly grumpy. I felt really groggy this morning and I knew exactly why. I hate being a girl so much, it doesn't have very much perks...

I sighed and got ready for today. Great way to start my day that I was expecting to be amazing. Ugh. Did I mention I hate being a girl? Well I do. It sucks so much.

I was currently putting on my makeup for the day and I knew I really didn't have to try right now because Benedict would be picking me up after school. I found out he was picking me up too. Great! He can witness my grumpy mood first hand...

I brushed through my hair and curled it slightly. I wanted to have a romantic look for tonight. I knew I would be changing clothes for tonight. I don't really want to show up at my school with a tank top and jeans. I'm more professional than that. So I go with a normal outfit I wore a couple weeks ago.

I rushed around the house to get everything else done and walked out to my Jeep. I climbed in and drove of to my job. I hope this day really goes well. Even if there is blood coming out my body.

The day had been just like the last; boring and slow going. It felt like forever till the day was done. God I was so happy, I actually squealed when I could go home after my duty shift was done outside.

I raced home so I could have plenty of time to make myself more presentable before Benedict gets here. We had decided on seeing a rerun of a very old movie. I have always loved this movie and was excited to see it in theaters.

I touched up my makeup and my hair to try and look really god, but not before I put on my other outfit for tonight; a black tank top with olive colored jeans and jewelry consisting of a chevron shaped gold necklace and two gold rings to put on my right ring finger and the other on my left middle. Man, I still can't believe this is happening! If this is a dream and I wake up from it, I'm going to be pissed. Like very.

I was currently brushing my teeth when the doorbell rang. I quickly finished brushing my teeth and spit the toothpaste out in my sink. I wiped off my face carefully and raced down the steps, carefully though I didn't want to fall on my face, and reached the front door. I opened it with a smile and Benedict was standing there in a plain black t-shirt and jeans, smiling at me. God he's hot in anything... Focus Scarlett, focus.

"Hi! I'm not quite ready yet, so if you would like to come inside and sit down on the couch, it's fine with me!" I smiled. Crap... This was embarrassing...

"Sure! I'll be waiting in your living room? I guess?" He sounded unsure of his answer and I just chuckled lightly. I nodded and ushered him to the living room. I raced back up the stairs and into my room. I was hopping around my room trying to finish everything. I was putting on my shoes as the same time of putting on my lip gloss. Man I was a mess right now.

I finally finished getting ready within five minutes, thankfully, so Ben wouldn't have been waiting long. I slid my phone into my pocket and tried oh so gracefully to walk down the stairs so I wouldn't trip and fall when Benedict was in my house.

Wait a second. Benedict is in my house. Benedict Cumberbatch is in my house! I was recomposing myself to meet Benedict in my living room. I smiled at him and he stood up.

"Ready?" I nodded quickly and led him out of my house, locking the doors behind me. I walked up to the car in my driveway that has never been there before and I'm guessing it's Ben's. Just guessing.

He swiftly opened the door for me and I couldn't help but smile. God, he's such a gentleman! I climbed into the passenger's seat of Ben's very nice car and just like that, we were off to the movie theater! I'm going on an adventure! Like Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit! I'm a dork I know. I thought we've already been through this?
