I bumped into a man who looked quite anxious, "I'm sorry sir - oh dear" I bent down and picked up the small envelope and straightened my back to find him gone, "You dropped this?" I looked around in confusion to find the scared man gone.
Blinking I looked at the front of the envelope to see '221 B Baker Street', sitting on my suit case I debated whether or not to open it - or to find this 221 B Baker street to see if that man was there so I can give him back the envelope he had dropped and apologize for bumping into him as I gaped at the wondrous city of London I had just landed in.
Well, I might as well do some kind of half-ass tour of London while I go to this 221 B Baker street.
Hopping off of my suit case I grabbed onto the handle of it before I pulled a map of London up on my phone before I pushed my way through the crowds, following the directions of the electronic device as I looked at all the buildings in awe, since everything was extremely different than Australia.
Walking in my sneakers I soon found myself in front of a apartment building that was next to a sandwich shop, dragging my suitcase behind me I knocked on the front door with the bag of my hand, only for it to be yanked backwards to an annoyed brown haired man stared at me, "Yes?"
"Well I-"
"Come for the apartment offer?"
"W-"
"All the way from Australia, how was the flight?"
"How-"
"The tag on your suit case, come," he grabbed a hold of my coat and pulled my inside, so suddenly I let my suit case go and stumbled into a man wearing a suit.
"Sorry sir-"
"Sherlock, don't think this girl will-"
"Come, we need to discuss things before you see the apartment" Sherlock took my suit case and legged it up the stairs as I stared after him in shock before I hurried after him.
"Sir-"
"Sherlock stop this foolishness and just tell me-"
"I play the violin, does that annoy you?"
"I - no. The Violin is a beautiful instrument-"
"Sometimes I don't talk for hours on end, would that bother you? Potential flatmates should know the worst about each other"
"Err, no. I do the exact same, but sir-"
"Now you"
"I - err, well I stay in my room for days and won't come out for anything...?" I questioned him, wondering if that's what he wanted.
"Anything that other's might find irritating?" he impatiently stared down at me as I frowned slightly.
"Not really, maybe the fact I don't get lose interest in conversations and just sit there thinking while ignoring them. Now, sir I need to-"
"I do experiments, would that bother you?"
"Depends what type - and as long as they're not in my bedroom or where I keep the food. Wait, I'm off topic here, I bumped into-"
"Sometimes I do my experiments in the fridge, and they range for different types from-"
"It doesn't matter, sir. I bumped into someone in the middle of London and-"
"Does the apartment meet your standards?"
"Sherlock, you can't just replace John with-"
Looking around awkwardly I nodded, "Excellent! You have met all the requirements and you can now move in here!"
"Err-"
"Sherlock! Listen to me, John may have gotten married but what you're doing is-"
"Pay no attention to him, I don't and he's my brother." Sherlock stared down at me as I glanced to him to his brother.
"I see the resemblance." I mumbled before I looked up at him.
"I'm Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes"
"Melody Archer, now Sherlock, before you interrupt me again" I pulled the letter out of my coat pocket and held it up to his face.
"What's this?"
"I don't know, I bumped into a man, he dropped it, I picked it up, I followed the address here and wallah." Sherlock ripped it open and scanned over it before he scrunched it into a ball and tossed it over his shoulder.
"Wh-"
"It was nothing, now, get settled in Melody Archer, your room is that way." Sherlock says as I stared at him in confusion.
"Wait, what?"
"Your room." he says boredly as his brother stares at me, unnerving me.
"My room? Oh no, I have a hotel room-"
"Well you won't be needing one now, you have an apartment that you now co-own."
"I-" I stopped myself and took my suit case from him before I followed his directions, still a bit confused with all what just happened...
Who is this man?
