Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

New Beginnings

One week later
Benedict had gone to America for the Oscars so you had Gaby staying at yours whilst he was away.

You sat crossed legged on your couch with your laptop on your lap- watching the videos that fans had shot of him walking through the airport. You take your mug from the coffee table in front of you and take a large sip from your hot chocolate.

"Y/N"
you hear Gaby call from the kitchen
You turn your head round to face the doorframe of the kitchen.

"Does this skirt go with this top?" She asks, adjusting her blue denim skirt as she walked into the living room.
You place your hot chocolate back onto the table and get off the sofa before inspecting her properly.

"It looks very nice yeah- may I ask the occasion?" You reply, smirking as you sit back down on the couch.
Gaby shakes her head, trying to hide her smirk.

"Oh my god Gaby! Do you have a date?!" You ask happily, getting off the sofa again and walking quickly over to her.
She shakes her head before her cheeks suddenly flush.

"Oh my god you do!" You shout happily, pointing at her face. She smiles shyly.

"It's no big deal, we're just getting some coffee" she replies casually, turning round to leave the leaving room. You yank her back by her arm and drag her to the sofa before pushing her to sit down.

"Give me details" you say, sitting next to her. She shrugs and smiles.

"What would you like to know?" She replies, laughing slightly.

"Well, firstly what's his name? That might be a good starting point" you reply, laughing slightly.

"His name is Tom" she replies.
You gesture for her to carry on.

"we met at work" she carries on.
You smile and nudge her playfully.

"How old is he?" You ask eagerly, crossing your legs in front of you and turning to face her.

"32" she replies shyly.

"Have you got a photo of him?" You ask.

"God, it's like 20 questions with you" she replies, laughing as she pulls her phone out to find you a photo. You laugh

"Well it's your fault for A- not telling me anything and B- giving me such short answers" you reply, taking her phone and viewing the photo of him

"He's cute" you say, nudging her cheekily.
She smiles

"He's lovely, really nice guy" she says happily. You smile as you hand her phone back to her.

"I know that I'm probably not in the best state to date or whatever-"

"Woah, who said that?" You ask, knitting your eyebrows together. Gaby shrugs and picks her nails slightly.

"Well I just figured that, I don't know. I thought that because Bonnies just passed that I should- I don't know, wait?" She asks, nervously. You shake your head and take her hand.

"Don't be silly Gab. You deserve to be happy" you say tenderly. She smiles

"So you don't think that it's too soon? Like I'm not taking the piss am I?" She asks worriedly. You shake your head and smile slightly.
