One week Later
"Hello, table for two is it?" The waitress asks.

"Erm, actually, we have a booking" you reply politely. The woman smiles back to you before referring to a list in front of her.

"What name was it booked with please" she asks.
You turn to Simon and shrug.

"Cumberbatch?" Simon asks. The woman checks the list and runs her finger down the page before landing on a name and ticking.

"Ah yes, table for two?"
You and Simon nod and smile.

"would you follow me to your table please"
Simon entwines his fingers with yours before the two of you following the lady to your table. 


"Here we are, would you like for me to take your coat?" You turn to her and smile before taking your coat off and handing it to her.

"Thank you" you reply.
She smiles before walking from the table.
Simon walks over to your seat and pulls your chair out for you to sit down.

"Wow, this place is amazing" you whisper across the table to Simon. He nods as he looks around the restaurant.

"Bet this place costed your friend a fortune to get us in" Simon says casually, picking up his menu and inspecting it.

"I can imagine, but he wouldn't have minded, Ben's always been very gracious with his money" you reply, smiling to yourself slightly.
...
"I know that this may be a rude question but, erm, how come he's payed for us to come here? Is it a celebration of some sort or?"
You look down before picking up your menu

"I think he just wanted to do something nice for us. He's gone filming in America so I think it was just a nice little farewell or something" you improvise. You look to Simon and see him nodding to himself

"What a nice bloke" he replies casually.
You laugh slightly and look at the drinks menu.
---
You walk hand in hand down the road, back to yours and Bonnies' apartment.

"So how's work been recently?" You ask.
Simon shrugs

"It's been okay I guess. a little chaotic recently though, Meg is trying to sleep with Mr Allen to get some big promotion that everyone's got their eye on"
You laugh slightly.

"Plus everyone at the office kind of knows that we're you know... Dating" Simon says nervously.
You look him with a confused tone.

"They saw the photo of you that I have on my desk, so they started asking questions and yeah I ended up telling them-"

"Awww you have a photo of me on your desk?"

Simon shrugs and smiles.

"I may do" he replies casually
You rest your head on his shoulder

"I've just had the strangest dejavu" you say, almost to yourself.

"How come?" Simon asks, laughing lightly.

"Well, a while ago I had a friends Amanda's birthday party and when I was walking home with a friend I rested my head on his shoulder and , I don't know it just made me think of that then when I rested my head on you"
Simon smiles
