You feel your phone vibrate in your pocket as you were sat in a cafe with your laptop. You pull your phone out and smile as Benedict's name appears on your screen.

What're you doing tonight? - Benedict X

You smile to yourself

Well I was going to do a twilight marathon with a glass of wine. Unless you have something better in mind?😉- Y/N X

You smile fondly as you send the text and place your phone next to your laptop as you continue tapping away on the keys. Suddenly your phone lights up with another text from Benedict.

Well as much fun as that sounds ... I do actually have something fun in mind- I'll pick you up at 8, look decent ;) - Benedict X

You knit your eyebrows together whilst smiling.

Hm, should I be worried? - Y/N Xx

You place your phone back down but just as you return your attention back to your laptop, it lights up again.

See you at 8, love you- Benedict X

You chuckle and playfully roll your eyes before returning your eyes back to the laptop.

You decide to go and have a bath, shave your legs etc... You wash your hair with your favourite shampoo.
You come out of the Bath with your hair in a towel and your thin dressing gown over your underwear.

"why are you having a shower at three in the afternoon?" Gaby asks casually, raising her eyebrow at you.

"I'm going out" you reply casually.

"On a date?" She asks, smirking.

"Yeah," you reply casually. Gaby smiles.

"Where's he taking you?" She asks eagerly.

"I genuinely have no idea, he didn't tell me" you reply, rubbing the back of your neck.
Gaby thinks for a minute.

"Eh, it's Benedict so it'll be something nice" Gaby says casually. You smile to yourself

"You got plans for tonight?" You ask casually, sitting next to her on the sofa. She shakes her head before thinking

"Tom might be coming over but that's it" she replies casually, flicking through her magazine. You glance over her shoulder as she flicks through the pages before you see a photo of Benedict. You grab the magazine from her and read it.
It was a photo of Benedict when he was on the Ellen show, with the caption talking about him and Sophie. You sigh slightly.

"Why did you just take that off me- I was reading-" she cuts herself of when she sees you reading the page with Benedict on it.

"Oh"she mumbles. You sigh and hand her back the magazine

"I wish the paparazzi would just stay out of his life. As if he wasn't going through enough-" you cut yourself off by running your hand through your hair.

"When's he going to tell them that the two of you are dating?" She asks awkwardly. You turn to her and shrug.

"I haven't got a clue" you reply, sighing. Gaby smiles faintly.
