Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

You Deserve Better

Two Months Later
You were linking your arm with Gaby's as you both walk out from the theatre.

"That was brill, don't you think?" She asks you happily. You nod and smile at her.

"I absolutely loved it, thank you for taking me" you reply softly. She smiles at you before pulling her phone from her pocket.

"The taxi should be here any minute, do you want to come back to mine or-"

"I'm meeting Oliver for a coffee, so I'm going to go home and freshen up" you reply. She nods.

"Is he gonna tell you why he's being so moody with you then?" She asks bitterly. You shrug.

"I hope so, he's starting to worry me I mean this isn't Oliver. I'm worried Incase something is genuinely wrong"
Gaby shakes her head.

"This is Oliver, trust me it'll be something stupid" she replies laughing slightly. You smile before seeing your taxi pull up on the road opposite the road that you were stood at. You and Gaby cross the busy road before climbing into the back of the taxi.

"I don't know what it is, but every time I've been to the theatre I just feel so tired" Gaby moans, Rubbing her eyes. You laugh lightly.

"God, what are you 90?" You joke. She playfully glares at you before chuckling.

"I feel it sometimes Y/N, not gonna lie to you". You both laugh.

"Did you enjoy it though?" Gaby asks, turning to you. You nod.

"Yeah, it was really good. I haven't been to the theatre in years. I think the last time I went was what- three years ago with Benedict"

"Wow, that is a long time ago, specially considering that when I met you in uni, it was all you talked about" she replies. You shrug.

"It's weird how time changes things, I don't know it feels like the things that used to matter just don't anymore" you pick your nail slightly.

"It was always something I did with Benedict, and now he's not here, I don't know it just hasn't really happened"

"Until now" Gaby adds happily. You smile and chuckle slightly.

"It was your birthday present" she adds.

"I know, I remember thinking how long away it was but then it just came round." You reply, smiling.

"I know, can't believe how long ago your birthday actually was. So much has happened since, it's mad" Gaby adds, rubbing her neck.

"You have no idea"

After being dropped off at your apartment you let yourself in (because Bonnie was out with her work friends) and run upstairs to get changed to meet Oliver.
You decide on wearing your black and white short jumpsuit with knee length boots and your hair in a lose bun.

You arrive at the coffee shop before feeling your phone vibrate in your pocket. You pull it out to check the ID

Oliver.

You accept the call and place your phone to your ear.

"Hey" you call into the phone.
