You stepped out of your flat rather in a hurry. Your books in hand as you began to jot down the street. Your eyes scanned for a cab. There! You saw one, you called it over and just as you reached for the door handle, a tall gentleman did as well. You took your hand back being polite and apologizing under your breath. Looks like you'd have to wait for another cab, but before your hopes could drop he opened the door for you. Shocked that someone was being polite you thanked him.

Your eyes scanned over his features, he did look familiar, but very handsome. "Thank you so much." You called, "Perhaps we can share the cab?" Your good manors in the way of your rush. You really needed to get to work. If you were late again, you might as well count yourself out of a job. You sat yourself in the cab and he climbed in beside you. His dark curly hair bouncing as he did so.

"And thank you, and you are clearly in a rush, so lets drop you off first, North Avenue please." The other mans voice was deep. And how he knew you worked on North Avenue you had no idea. You didn't say anything on it though. He only smirked as if he could read your thoughts. "I saw your badge, clearly the symbol for the hospital, everyone knows what street that is on." His lips curled into a smile. You smiled back a little impressed.

"Well, you are perceptive, and thank you again." voice soft and light as you looked our your window at the passing cars and people. "My name is (y/n)." you needed a small topic to talk about so things wouldn't get awkward and an introduction was always good. You stuck your hand out for a small shake. You were surprised by how softly he took your hand and raised it to his lips lightly pecking it. You forced the blush on your cheeks not to show.

"Holmes, Sherlock Holmes." He said still holding your hand. He slowly let go as the cab stopped. It was your turn to say something but totally was boggled. This was Sherlock Holmes. THE Sherlock Holmes. You had heard many stories of him. You watched him smirk and lean close to your ear "This is your stop Mrs. (l/n)." He leaned back still smirking.

You opened your door wide eyed. Your mind raced with how he knew your last name. Had you said it before? No. You didn't.  You stepped out a little with a blush now. That smirk on his face got under your skin. You didn't realize this wouldn't be the last time you saw Mr. Holmes
