Chapter 4

Ben and I are sitting at home on the kitchen table with the invitation designer Karen as we finalise the invites.

"Right are we ready to see it?" Karen asks and Ben runs a stressed hand through his hair.

"It's the last one i'm looking at." he says rather annoyed from the two hour long meting and I sigh.

"Ben please just..." I start

"Fine." He cuts in with a sigh.

"Right so this is the design." Karen says as she hands the Mack laptop around to Ben and I and I see him crack a smile at the many layered invite the back layer black then light blue and white with all the writing in silver.

"I love it." I state hopefully looking at Ben.

"Agreed." He says

"And the message is going to say:

Dear ...............,

You have been formally invited to the wedding of Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch and Isabella Jessica Parker on the 5th of December 2014. The ceremony will be held at 3 o'clock at st' James church with a reception at 4:30 at the four seasons hotel Kanerry Warf and seatings for the dinner dance shall be at 6pm sharp (Benedict remember to turn up at least an hour before all of these times). The dress code I'd black tie and the ball will finish at 12 pm. Please fill out the reply slip enclosed and reply by the 10th of October 2014.

Kind regards,

The families of the bride and groom.'" Karen finishes and my face now holds a permanent smile.

"I love it." I say again and Ben just chuckles.

"Can we not just erase the bit about me?" He asks

"No it comic and everyone will laugh, you can put it in you speech that you actually came on time." I say to him

"Alright." He says. "So invites are sorted then." He says

"Yes right so I'll call you when they're all printed to come and pick them up Isabella." Kara says and i nod as she packs up quickly.

"Thanks Kara." I say and She shakes my hand then Bens.

"It was nice meting you Benedict." Kara says

"And you Kara." Ben says and I lead her out.

The next day I wake up bright and early with Ben at 1am because I'm taking him to the airport. He's going away to promote the past series of Sherlock that has just come out in America but I've decided to stay at home as he'll be home in a week. I turn over to Ben to see him lazily whack his alarm to shut it up and I laugh as I push his hair back and he moans.

"Come on Ben you need to get up you've got a plane to catch." I say and he moans again

"Shut up I'm sleeping." He says huskily and I sigh as i lean over and kiss his lips and he kisses me back.

"Nope you're awake now get up and dressed." I say after I pull away and get out of bed and he mumbles to himself as he gets out of bed and walks into the bathroom.

I lean against the car as I watch Ben take his hand luggage and suitcase out of the boot of my four by four my dad got me then as he closes the boot I stand up a little against the car unfolding my arms as he comes over to me. He stands in front of me and pushes my hair behind my ear gently then sighs.

"If you need anything or just want to talk please just call I'm paying the bill now remember." He says as his hand lays on the side of my face and his thumb strokes my cheek.
