Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

I Love You... I Guess

One Month Later.
Gaby and Tom had come and visited you a few times since you had moved in with Oliver.
You were surprised by how much happier you were feeling after being in new surroundings.

Oliver was really trying to make you feel comfortable. He had introduced you to his close friends from work and you'd accompanied him to a few dinners and such. You appreciated all that he had been doing for you with helping you move on. But it seemed like no matter how busy you were or how distracted you were, you just couldn't shake Benedict. He was always there at the back of your mind and you knew that he was married and hadn't really made the effort to speak to you , but you just couldn't let go.

Obviously you didn't say anything though.

You were waking down the road with your hands in your pockets. You hear faint screaming noises coming from in front of you but seeing as you were in California, you ignored the screaming by putting your earphones in.

You take in all of your surroundings before you suddenly halt and feel your heart fall in your chest after seeing a very familiar face.
You let your jaw drop and feel as your heart begins to race. It was Benedict

It had been so long since you'd seen him, and even though you pictured his face nearly everyday, you'd almost forgotten how utterly handsome that he was.

"Ben-" you whisper to yourself.
You swallow the lump in your throat.
He was wearing his signature blue denim shirt with a pair of black skinnies with his hair in lose curls.

"Benedict" you repeat, speeding up your walk and removing your earphone from your ear.  you suddenly stop when you notice something.
His left hand was entwined with Sophie's and his right hand was holding onto Christopher's hand.
You smile faintly at how big Christopher had become before you feel your heart drop.
He was surrounded by screaming girls, all shoving phones in his face. you see him smiling politely at the girls, taking a few selfies and speaking to them whilst Sophie stays with Christopher .

You notice them walking in your direction so You quickly hide behind the trees next to you and watch them as they come closer to you.
You feel your eyes watering as you smell Benedict's cologne as he walks past you.

Just as You were about to leap from behind the tree and take him in your arms, You notice his head knocked back- he was laughing. Genuinely laughing, his  eyes were lit up and he had a smile from ear to ear.
you'd never seen him look so happy.

Sophie removes her hand from his and places her hand behind Benedict's back, around his waste before placing a kiss on his arm.
You suddenly feel a single tear drop down your face.
You step slightly to your right, making a crunching sound on a leaf.
Sophie suddenly looks in your direction, Benedict was too busy talking.
She quickly looks at you before knitting her eyebrows together with confusion.
You place your finger on your lips and shake your head, begging for her to act like she hadn't seen you.
Sophie nods slightly and smiles awkwardly before turning back to Benedict and carrying on with their conversation.

You place your hand on the tree and lean slightly. you still couldn't come to terms with the fact that he was somebody's else's.
You pull your phone out of your pocket and dial Gaby's number.
You press your phone to your ear

"Hello?" She says.

"You'll never guess who's just walked past me" you whisper, the tears falling down your cheeks.
